PAGE 6, WEWdE$DAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1976, WBITBY FREE PRESS Im EBIAS ýn Es, NEW YORK - Last week 1 promised to write a colu-n about New York City and its crime scene. 1 also said l'd say a few words about the Bronfmnan kidnapping case and how it was featured in the U.S. press. First, 1 would like to cite a typical crime story which appeared recently in the New York Post. In part, it read: "A security guard and two repeated drug addicts were charged today with the murder of a Virginia tourist stabbcd to death Wednesday on the West Side." "Police said robbery was the motive for thec slaying of Kenneth Moll, 22, who was white and that the thiree alegedly made off with a camnera, a telephoto lens and some scuba gear. Moll was stabbed flive times in the heart and lungs and then staggered east on 92nd Street, holding open the bloody shirt to show hie was hurt, weakly crying: "Help me. Help me." Neighbouirs did stop to help and an undentified men took die youth to th *e hospital after waiting 20 minutes in vain for police or an ambulance to arrive. Mou died at 4:30 in Mounit Sinai Hospital." A story of this nature can be found every day ini one of tie three major daily ncwspapers in New York and.Long Words fo1 pwe Lynde by Norm Mealinla Provincial CmRign '75 Tomiorrow is cl'ectionc day of decision.

On top of that (ironically cnough) lie was shain by a security guard, a person who, presumably holds a position to maintain law and order. 0f course, one must remember that some of the strangest murder cases have been reported here by the city police and FBI. Fifteen years ago, I walked the streets of Manhattan without fear at night. 1 even vcnturcd into Harlem and some parts of Bronx. Times Square was always a very safe place to walk at night. Today, I'd think twice before start- ing out on mny night walks around Harlem and mid-Manhat- tan, including (of course) the famous West Side. The change of heart took place a ycar ago, shortly after I was attacked by two black women. They took my ten dollars, but one of the girls pointed a sharp knife at my throat - 1 presumne just to warn me about consequences, had 1 tried to hold on 10 my money. Needless to say, 1 was giad to part with my ten bucks. In New York, it's easy to switch [romn cold.bhooded slayings to even more cold-blooded kidnappings. Such was thc widely-publicized Samiuel Bronfman case, whîch fîled New York newspapers for eighit straight days in a row. When a billionaires son is kidnapped, il sure is big news al over town. It was fascinating to watch how the newspapers and radio and television stations covered this major news. story, show 'ing a real professionalism. Faced with a similar story, Toronto newspapers wouhd have lookcd ike first- class amateurs, trying to run in ahl directions in search for Page One miaterial. New York's picture ncewspaper "Daily News" led the During the last two weeks, the campaign lias been interisified by ailt hree parties. Provinciahhy, the Conserva- tives have extended the oil and gas price freeze, given somne teeth t0 the planned rent review boards, and increased the benefits payable to our senior citizens. Provincially, the Liberals and the New Demiocratic Party have continued, and escalated their attacks on the Tory governmcnnt, with the Grits crying louder for dic fiscal responsîbility, and thc NDP înaintaining thîcir steady campaign in favour of housing, energy, land, and people. Locally, ailh ircec major party candidates have been îcsted at al-candidates , meet- ings, on radio hiot-hines, and in tetevision debate. 1 would wager that, in 1975, the voters of this province are being faced, both hiere in Durham West, and across the province, with thcernost chfficult choice thiat they have had to make in miany years.

News had mounted a massive coverage, including their owii air- plane which was used extensively throughout the ordeal. But, for somne unknown reason, the News did not get a tip [rom the cops about the Imminent capture of the two sus- pects. Thus, no one was there at the Brooklyn apartmnft building to record the suspense and draina, awaitiflg a possible shoot-out. But plenty of photographers showed up at the Edgar Bronfmnan apartment ini Manhattan where Sam and Edgar were reunited. Those were first pictures of Sam, well taken by the News staff photographers. Tfhe New York Timnes also followed thie story, but gave it a rather conservative treatment. It was front page news, alright, but nothing special, nothing to talk about. Long Island's "Newsday", always an interestîng paper to read, also missed some of the action, but played up the story well with AP and UPI news pix. The New York Post came up with some highly readable stories on Bronfman and his abductors, but fell in thec same trap as other daily newspapers by reporting that the abductors were hiding somnewhere in Westchester Coun- ty. In fact, they were having a pretty good Urne right in the city, hoping that 'the plan would go th rough. TV and radio stations did an excellent job of reporting by detaiing the facts in their morning and evening reports. Radio reporters had the advantage over TV crewmen as they could piece thé story together with in minutes. Ail in ahi it was an exciting week crime-wise in this city. Perhaps a bit too exciting, considering the after effeets yet to be full experienced. total, by far, in ail polis, falîs under the heading 4undecided". Here, in Durham West, we must choose between three candidates. If you choose Des Newman on the basis of his position withi respect to government spendîng, you are voting in favour of the Pickering Airport. If you choose Charles Godfrey on account of his view of regional govern- ment, you are voting for more spending iin education. If you choose' Bill Pilkington on the basis of his position with respect to violence and crime in our society you are voting in favour of West Lynde (OHC) hîihrise. If you must vote according to your provincial prefer- ence, your choice is no less difficult to make. To vote Conservative is to vote for four more years of the govern- mient we presently have. Much of whiat the government has donc hias benefittcd this province, but people are generally concerned about education, housing, and the cost of governfnent. To vote Liberal is to vote for less costly goverrnment, or so we are told. Yet the Lîberals will remove the hirnits on educational spending, and raise the provincc's shiare of the cosîs to eighty percent, and these two moves hiave been estirnated to cost the Ontario tax- payer between $500 aînd $600 million per year. To vote NDP is to vote for more low-cost housing, increased educa- tional spending, and rent controls. Moves such as these would, in ail probabiity, place an even heavier burden on th e ai ready over-bu rdened middle-income taxpayer. Having said alI this, h don't propose to tell you how 1 intend to vote, or to recommend how you should vote. I wihl tell you that I consider it a civic duty to vote, and that, in voting, we mnust consider very carefuhly all the alterna- tives available to us. registcred f'or employmient at W.L.C.A.
