Funeral services will be con- Rioting Harmful To Negro Cause, Wilkins, Clark Say Marion Hammett Saturday, at 5 Baptist Wells. Mountain Ceme- Mackey placed in WASHINGTON (AP) rioting was deplored Sunday by the U.S. attorney general and the head of the NAACP, as harmful to society and to the cause of Negro equality. Atty.

Gen. Ramsey Clark said the view held by some Negroes that rioting is the only way they can get action on their problems is "the most erroneous type of "Everybody suffers from riots," Clark said. "If you pick temporary jobs, you might lose 3,000 permanent jobs ther alienate and polarize the doing it. You might also so furcommunities in America that it would take us years to get back where we were." Roy Wilkins, executive director of National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said more and more Negroes are coming to hold the bitter view that only violence can right wrongs. "The people who actually take part in it do not expect to gain anything that way," Wilkins said.

They only want to call attention to the problems. of course, don't believe that," he added. "I don't think any permanent good comes of it." Wilkins said meaningful efforts to solve the Negro's problems could have a significant effect in preventing rioting "if it is sincere, if it is on a large enough scale, and if the colored population is convinced that this is not just another snow job." Clark appeared on the ABC radio-television program "Issues and Answers" Wilkins on NBC's "Meet the Press." Wilkins said his organization has made efforts to prevent is and Rev. C. B.

Burial will be in 1 Simpsonville Cemetery. Pallbearers will be Charles rioting, but that the entire Negro community or the Negroes alone should not be saddled with all the responsibility. Such a view, he said, only turns the attention away from those who have needled and pushed the Negro into a situation which may spawn rioting. But Wilkins backed the use of whatever force is needed to quell riots, once begun. "Once a riot gets under he said, "the prime business of everyone is to stop it." Clark said the threat of widespread conflict between Negroes and Whites is very serious and must be dealt with.

But he said the idea of an internal racial War is an exaggeration. The antiriot bill pending before Congress, which would make interstate travel with intent to incite riot a federal crime, would de have very little effect in preventing riots, Clark said. Riots are, for the most part, home-grown, he said. On other issues, Clark said he received Friday the recommendations of his antitrust division regarding the proposed merger of ABC with International Telephone Telegraph Corp. He declined to divulge the recommendations but said a decision will be made by the middle of this week.

Clark defended the Justice Department's recent restrictions on the use of wiretapping and bugging in investigations. The advantages of these techniques -which he described as relatively small--are outweighed, he indicated, by their harmful effects on privacy and public confidence in government. Sylvia Porter Line Between Crime, Nor Is Vague By SYLVIA PORTER Have you ever committed a crime for which you could have been arrested and sentenced to jail? "No!" say you, thinking you've never stolen a car, mugged a stroller in the park, burglarized a house. But wait Have you ever short-changed the government on your income tax? Pilfered office supplies or products from your employer? Juggled an expense account? Violated a building code? I'll wager that millions of us (including me), so-called lawabiding citizens, have been Time To Pack Vietnam Gifts Greenville County has a quota of 1,000 gift bags for servicemen in Vietnam and donations are needed to purchase gift items and volunteers to pack the bags Walter Johnson, executive director of the Greenville Red Cross chapter has announced.

Bobo Funeral Chapel. Estimated Yearly Crime Losses (millions) Embezzlement 200 Fraud 1,350 Tax fraud 100 Unreported commercial theft 1,400 Estimating the total cost of many types of white collar crime, the Commission concedes, is like "guessing the size of an iceberg." The vast bulk of mail fraud is never reported; neither is securities fraud, which the Commission estimates costs the public $75-100 million a year. The official estimate for tax fraud losses is $100 million a year but the Commission notes that the total unreported taxable income in the U. S. today may be from $25 to $40 billion each year.

In short, white collar crime may be far more costly to the public than many of the more widely publicized types of crimes. The Commission's estimates alone cry out for more extensive facts and figures and more precise definitions, and an end to our double standard under which white collar crime is not even considered serious enough to warrant counting our losses. guilty of at least these offenses. While admittedly we're seldom arrested or sentenced, that's because we're seldom caught, because the lines between many crimes and non-crimes in our country are fuzzy SYLVIA PORTER or even invisible SYLVIA PORTER and because we continue to maintain a double standard on "white collar" vs. "blue collar" crime.

To back up my wager, a study of 1,700 adult individuals, cited in final report just issued by the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice, revealed that more than nine out of 10 had committed at least one crime, other than a traffic offense, for which they could have been arrested. This finding defies a cherished American notion (shared by our top law enforcement officials) that only a minority of criminals are responsible for our burgeoning crime problems. Quite the contrary, says the Commission: "Employe theft, embezzlement and other forms of crime involving relatively business small which numbers appear in the police statistics make up the bulk of the more than 32 billion which business annually loses in crimes for which losses can be estimated. "Direct stealing of cash and merchandise, stock manipulation records of along with shoplifting, appear to constitute a tax 1 to 2 per cent on the total sales of retail enterprises. Moth grocery trade, estimates shoplifting and employe theft almost equal the total amount of profit," although retailers and other businesses today report fewer than one: in four of known white collar offenses to the police.

Fraud another multi-billion dollar white collar crime also goes largely unreported to the police. In the case of the phony salad oil empire which was reported widely, losses amounted to somewhere between $125 and $175 million. Add to this "unreported" total the billions in losses from worthless medical nostrums peddled to unwary elderly citizens, fraudulent home improvement schemes and a long list of other gyps. Here are the Crime Commission's estimates of yearly losses from crimes committed by "ordinary" citizens: Rail Walkout Not Touched South Carolina By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A spreading railroad strike Sunday in many parts of the nation apparently had made no direct touch on South Carolina.
