Los Angeles telephonically advised on 3/31/61 that thenight final edition of the "Herald Express newspaper containedGovernor BROHN's release attacking the city and county of Los Angelesfor poor law enforcement and refers to comments by PARKER concerninghis testimony in Sacramento on Monday, 3/27/61, in which he stated
he used some of the Director's material as an authoritative source
in defense of his arguments.
It appears that Chief of Police PARKER is referring totestimony before the California Senate Judiciary Committee headed by
Senator E. J. REGAN which, on 3/27/61, held hearings concerningproposed narcotics legislation. There was considerable testimony anddebate concerning Senate Bill 82, which was legislation designed toovercome 1955 ruling in the CAHAH case wherein the court threwout evidence because it was obtained by unreasonable search andseizure. This proposed legislation related only to narcotics offenseSince Chief PARKERs testimony was before a Senate committee anddid not consist of remarks on the House or Senate floors at Sacramentitis not believed there would be any recorded record of his.remarks.The "Sacramento Bee" for 3/28/61 contained an article entitled"Narcotics Evidence Relaxing Bill Fails" and describes this'matter .rat some length. The Bureau will note that the Director's name doesnot appear in connection with this article which is probably asextensive an article as has appeared in any of th local papers.' ADVISED 0 c0m!Ar<Y 5'1
In view of the above, the San Francisco Office, UACB, istaking no further action to specifically identify remarks by PARKERwherein he mentioned the Director. g; ;£J p_ §75_§'¥; f _- é>é5, -.,.-..=........a -QE

INFORMATION CONCERNING
- 92 , .
/__1_'_.'_ ,1, - -~> :4. F /
At 3'10 P M , toda SAC William Simon called to advise that he hadjust received a c;ln'from of Los Angeles County, and_informed Simon t a a PI dispatch was just
released from Sacramento, California indicating that Governor Brown criticized
law enforcement in Los Angeles and the County of Los Angeles. Brown is
stated to have said , "A good job of law enforcement is not being done in thecity and county of Los Angeles. " Brovsm indicated that this did not include the
chiefs of police in the cities surrounding Los Angeles but only the county areas.
Brown added that the Chief of Police of Los Angeles has seen fit to criticize
J. Edgar Hoover. "You will find J. Edgar Hoover agrees with me in regardto the quality of law enforcement in Los Angeles. " SAC Simon indicated that
he believes that this comment by Brown resulted from a feud which is developing
between law enforcement in the Los Angeles area and Governor Brown.
SAC Simon indicated that Brown recently commuted the death sentence
of Erwin M. Walker also known as "Machine Gun Walker", who was sentenced
to death for the murder of a highway patrolman in California. Several lawenforcement officials from the area of Los Angeles one of whom wa-critiqe Brown for the commutation. It is believed that Brown's statement as
indicated above was the result of a criticism leveled at him by the law enforce-
ment officers in the area of Los Angeles.
SAC Simon asked what he should do in case the press called him. I A
advised him that he should make no comment but that it would be better for him
to clear with Mr. DeLoach's Office. Mr. Wick, who is acting in the absenceof Mr. DeLoach, advised that he instructed SAC Simon that in the event hereceives any inquiry from any source whatsoever he 'is to say, "No comment."

. sponding to the offi
d mands for .a transcript f
his Marchi 3I 'ii_e'ws confer-
ence, in which Brown accused
the pair of having the worst
law enforcement record in the
entirestate, Brown complied
with the request, but attachedaj letter renewing his assault
on them.
The original attack by the
Governor stemmed from their
criticism of Brown's commu-
tation from death to life im-
prisonment without hope of
parole for Erwin M. Machine
Gun Walker, slayer of High-way Patrolman Loren Roose-
ve .
_In his letter, Brown said I
do not intend to argue fur~
ther the concerned,"
then criticized their leader-
ship and attached statistics
it was asserted show Los
Angeles lags behind the
rest of California -in the num-
ber of arrests actually
brought to court. Brown as-
se d: .
hope . . T. that my
m have calledyour J
ent attentionto your prlmi
responsibility _of providing
better leadership for law en-
forcement in -Los Angeles
City and County.
" It is true you have been
busy. You have been tellingju ges howto conduct irco , legislators how to

to exercise his const -
tional "powers of clemency I hope the attached
tastics will lead you to e
e whether you might n
h = e reason to be as crlti
of our own efforts as y
of the efforts of yourfellow public officials."
Brown sent Parker -- and
Pitchess tabulationsjshowlng
that .in 1960, Los Angeles
County recorded 57,958 ar-
rests with 14,976, or» 25 per
_cent, complaints filed, as
compared witli'z9 per eentain
,Alameda County and30 per.
cent in--San "Francisco.
In 1959, according to the
figures, Los Angeles showed
filings in 29 percent of the
arrests, with/San Francisco
totaling 30, and" San Diego
and Alameda counties each 35
per cent.- The Governor's of-
fice said: . .
In the matter of narcotics
law enforcement. Los Angeles
lags even more markedly. 3

Brown claimed Los An-
geies consistently lags be-
hind the rest of the state in
the number of arrests which
were actually brought to
court in 1959 and 1960.
The statistics showed the
Los Angeles percentage of
lings on actual arrests was
;only 29% as compared to
35% gures f or Alameda,
San Diego and San Francis-co counties. i
The case ling percentage
fell to 25% in 1960 in Los
Angeles while San Francisco
slipped to 30% and Alamedadropped to 29 % with no com-Q
parable gures available for
San Diego, according to
Brown. _
Turning to the specic
{subject of narcotics law en-
lforcement, the governor was.{even more critical of the Los
i.-Xngeles operations.

ed, reports that in 1960 only

ratio was one for each 2.6 ar-i

Governor Says E
2 Lawmen Aren't
Doing Good Job _
Police Chief Parker andSheri%°;it_chess, accused1=i¬£i3';Fb"' Gov. Brown of
obviously not doing a good
job, struck back a few
hours later with charges 5
that the governor was irre-
sponsible and ignorant.
Parker and Pitchess held I
a press conference in the Po- ;
lice Building after G ov.
Brown, at his morning press
conference in Sacramento,
said the Los Angeles oicers
were not doing law enforce- 1
ment in this state any good
at all. 5
The governor did not '
name either Pitchess or
Parker but left no doubt that
he meant them when he re-
ferred to political peace oili-
cers in- Los Angeles City
and County.
Not Doing Good Jobs
Brown specically indicat-
ed his displeasure with Park-
er and Pitchess for opposing
his action granting clemency
to a Los Angeles police kill-
er, Erwin Machine Gun! i
Walker. The governor, a opponent of capital punisl:ment, commuted Walkersi
sentence from death no life
imprisonment. - '
Brown said that Walker is
still mentally ill. I didnot
want the spectacle of putting
a man in a condemned cell
and seeing him go insane
again." he added-» .-
C 0 ns t a n t criticism by
people who obviously are not
doing good jobs themselves
is not doing law enforce-

Brown Scores
- By CARL GREENBERG
Examiner Political Editor
SACRAMENTO-Gov. Brown unleashed anangry and blistering attack on.Los Angeles Pollce- Chief Parker and Sheriff Pitchess Friday. Theyarent doing. a good law enforcement job, he
asserted.
» Later, in a _TV appearance, Brown, former
Attorney General, got even tougher, chargingthepair has the worst law enforcement record in the
entire state and I feel its high tiine the people ofLos Angeles know where the fault lies . . . He as-
serted Los Angeles City is a prime place for crime and: " ~ _'
3 There are more arrests|more refusals-to prosecute yithe District "Attorney lni e
{City of Los Angeles than a
gother city in our State. -
A . And, charged the Governor,
who- identified Parker and
Pitchess as "political peace
officers?
These are the people
where we have seen the high-
est crime rate in the entire
State of California go up and
up without any decrease
whatsoever over a period of
the last eight or nine years."
The Governor clearly was
irritated at his news confer-
ence over criticism of him
voiced by Parker and Pitchess
for commuting to lite imprls-'
onment without possibility of
parole Erwin M. Machine
Gun" Walker, killer of State
Highway Patrolman L o r en
Roosevelt in Los Angeles.
Walker had been condemned
to die.
He charged a good job of
Jaw enforcement in the City
and County of Los Angeles

was excluding the police de-;
partments of other incorpo

using Parker's and Pitchess'

It is also noted that Chief PARKER says, with regardto the Governor's statement that he, PARKER, had criticizedthe Director, that in his appearance before the Legislatureon 3/27/61, he had quoted the Director at great length to backup his stand on the narcotics question and that he would nothave quoted Mr. HOOVER if he were critical of him. It is feltthat the appearance_to which PARKER is referring is hisappearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee in Sacramentoon 3/21/61, when PARKER testified for legislation which would,_§ negate the effects of certain court decisions regarding revealing,@;§ .of informants in narcotics cases. The San Francisco Office is' '- checking its sources to determine what statements made by PARKER- are available and is advising the Bureau by airtel.
For the further information of the Bureau, thisappears to be a continuation of exchange of criticism betweenGovernor BROWN and Sheriff PITCHESS of Los Angeles County. Ithas been rumored in circles in and around Los Angeles that ,Sheriff PITCHESS was being considered as a possible candidate ,///for Governor on the Republican Ticket against BROWN in.l962.Recently, Governor BROWN was critical of SherfTT PTTCHESS instating that Sheriff PITCHESS should not have been a delegate tothe Republican National Convention in Chicago in 1960 and thathe should administer his office Los Angeles Couty Sheriff's
Office! without regard to political affiliation.
PITCHESS countered in a speech before the CaliforniaSheriff's Association Convention in Monterey during the week ofMarch 20 last by stating that he had always tried to administerhis office without regard to party affiliation but felt that hehad a perfect right to be a delegate to the Republican National
Convention.
The Bureau is well aware of the propensity of Chief
PARKER for criticizing public officials and has on manyoccasions, been particularly critical of Governor BROWN as
well as Attorney General MOSK.
In accordance with Bureau instructions, any inquiryreceived will be handled on a strictly "no comment" basis.

By reference from the Director's Office, I talked with Governor ,
Edmund Brown who called by at 11:50 AM this morning. He stated he had only a
few minutes inasmuch as he was on his way to the White House. He mentioned hehad just conferred with the Attorney General and Commissioner Anslinger of the_;~ , Bureau of Narcotics. He explained the purpose of his visit was to promotef. a/_4crash program" concerning narcotics in the State of California.
Governor Brown asked if we were aware of his public chargesagainst Chief Bill Parker of Los Angeles. I told him we were. He did not ask
for our opinion of Parker. He did state, however, that Park er is no good,¢ Q that Parker suffers from paranoia, that he is an egomaniac, that he is not doinga good job as a police official. Governor Brovm stated he will continue to fight5 against Parker despite the fact when you fight with a skunk some of it is bound
i to rub off on you.
Governor Brown asked if statistics concerning bank robberies
were not up. I told him they were, that 1959 had been the biggest year since1934, that 1960 was a close second. He asked if these robberies were not beingperpetrated by individuals who had no previous criminal record. I told him thiswas mite in approximately 27% of the cases and then gave him a few examples
such as the '72-year-old grandmother, etc.
Governor Brown indicated he was interested in stiflingorganized crime in the State of California as much as possible. He asked if itwere true "bookies" were moving into California from the East. I told him I fa"
could not confirm this personally but felt he must have some knowledge of this
situation inasmuch as he posed the question. He then stated he thought this was92taking place and that he was finding it somewhat difficult to cope with the situation,particularly in view of the proximity of Las Vegas. He explained the "bookies"
hit Las Vegas and later move into California, *Enclosure/a.,u_1_I 44-/f_.4/ Kr 65 - '_/ . /' __ Q1l - Mr. Ingram ' W -=~~-~ ~~*""' 92

Re: Governor Edmund Brown
State of California
I took the liberty of telling Governor Brown the Director is highlyappreciative of the cooperation that the Governor has extended to the FBI in the
State of California. The Governor stated there was no finer organization than. the FBI and that he particularly felt that SAC Auerbach of the San Francisco Officewas doing an excellent job. The Governor indicated he, of course, personallyhas some shortcomings and that he had learned a few lessons the hard way. __I1I_§_,;I I mentioned he w%$ .29w.a_, l_}_e_1_i692LQ,1,1§l___Q?;Ql1i2_t];_Et1_I}_lSll§§1_¢_l_1_1£, however, seriously feltt d fter their sentence defendants receiving this sentence should be execu e as soon aas possible. I told him of the Director's opinions in this regard and specifically- mentioned the Chessman case as an example of an atrocious delay. The
A Governor agreed.
A The Governor brought up the subject of.paro1e and probation. I told~ _ him of the Director's belief ' in the system of relabilitation, however, that the" ' Director had constantly and forcefully struck out at the corruption in these fields.
Governor Brown was most cordial and asked that his best regardsbe extended to the Director. He stated he certainly hopes he will be able to see the' 92 Director later on in the Summer in California. He mentioned he would appreciate
receiving some advice from the Director regarding a number of problems.
ACTION:
It is thought the Director may desire to send the attached letter
to Governor Brown. /

IFight Over Dope;
r SLIGHT relaxing was noticeable Tuesday in/Kthe deadlock over the narcotic evil. Governor
A Brown has been warring with the Los Angeles
County Supervisors, Chief of Police Parker, Sheriff
Pitchess, and other law enforcement officials over
new legislation. -
Tuesday Mr. Brown retreated a little. Promi-
zient in the controversy is whether probation should
:3 permitted for first offense sale of hard narcotics
by an adult tp a minor. .
Heretofore, the Governor has insisted no law
ziiould be enacted that would take away from the
courts the power to grant such probation when they
:3e fit. Now he says he would sign a bill prohibiting
such probation even though it is not his bill. This
is good. _
Those persons who are eager to have really
tough laws against narcotic peddlers want to make
.:ure that sales to minors will carry certain punish-
ment that cannot be set aside by lenient judges.
Governor Browns own Special Study Commis-
sion on Narcotics recommended this. The State
Senate voted 26 to 12 for it over the Governor's vig-
orous opposition.
Los Angeles County Supervisors stood firm and
restated their recommendations which can be sum-
marized as:
We favor passage of a strong narcotics legisla-
'ive program which upgrades penalties, makes man-
datory minimum penalties, allows no probation in
"irst offenses where adults are selling hard narcotics
to minors, and calls for some modification of the law
irohibiting search and seizure away from a mans
residence."
The public is now witnessing the deplorable
cpectacle of our highest officials fighting bitterly
among themselves instead of being united in an all-
cut war on the loathsome narcotic evil. -.
It must be presumed the Governor took his posi-
ion because of his own sincere convictions and ai so
with deliberation, since the active campaigning for
re-election is less than a year away.

For whatever reason, a frontal assault was made
on ~p. nationally respected Chief of Police and, the
equally respected Sheriff of Los Angeles County iwhoarejbattling for tougher laws. This attack is no fway
to bring about a. landslide for Brown in this area.
In Tuesdays Examiner, also, there was a letter
i.o the editor from J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the
FBI. He wrote, Ill-advised leniency for criminals of
all ages continually hinders effective law enforce-
ment and will persist in doing so as long as the
perpetrators of criminal acts receive more sympathy
than the victims."
Mr. Hoover seems to state the case in a singlesentence.
