ae : A hoe eo i *, appealed to the Jadge for alency and the United States Attorney later went into court and repudiated the appeal of the Assistant United Etates Altorney, bat we have some Assistant United States Attorneys who are not worth a -@aman, aad my feeling is the only deterrent is tough law enforcement. The President said be eould act agree more. IT said like casea where policemen are killed in a shoot-out and they generally end up with life sentences and in Federal Court that means 4 to 6 years. The President said “or 7,” and i eaid they are released for parole in 1/3 of the term. The President com- mented that when he sees that motion picture of ours, "The FBY Story,” aad they say they get life, it means T years. The President said if I could stir up this thing on capital punishment and obscenity, he is for it and if I see they are not doing something, to let him keow, as he is going to ride herd on these. Very truly yours, Feba Edgar Hoover Director } ~ peepee geen ee ore %
