So-Called One Man Clean-up
Of Marion Has Kick ,Back
The City of Marion, mayor and
Council and police officers do not
appreciate the unsolicited advertis-
ing received recently from a "raid"
in Marion staged by members of
the Cedar Rapids police depart-
ment.
"Resulting from the action has
been considerable ill feeling of
Marion people and city officials to-
wards the city of Cedar Rapids in
general and the Cedar Rapids po-
lice department and the daily
newspaper in particular," states the
Marion Sentinel.
The matter was investigated by
Marion city officials, mayor, police
department, council and private
citizens, "who have severely cen-
sored the entire action, as well as
the resultant publicity given the
city by a Cedar Rapids newspaper
which is described by local city
officials as being 'very one-sided
and unfair.' "
Finding of a punch board under
a counter and not in operation in
Marion seemed to provoke the chief
of detectives from the county seat,
Earl Stanley, so he called the dep-
uty sheriff over from Cedar Rap-
ids. Three minors were found in
a pool hall.
Although Stanley says he tried
to locate the mayor and chief oI
police, Marion officials ask why he
did not contact two uniformed of-
fleers on the street at the time.
Stanley is accused of twisting
severely and bruising the arm at
a waitress; of telling the proprietor
of the place with the punch board,
it was none of his damn business
when he asked Stanley who he
was; of telling a clerk in the pool
hal"~ that he was dumb, and further
that he had a notion to kick the
rl--- out of him.
The Marion chief of police al-
leges that at this same time "a
drunken brawl was in full swing
at a beer tavern in the Cedar Rap-
ids loop district, with no police of-
ricers to be found."
Stanley talked about making it
harder for children to be bad. The
Marion chief of police states, "I
have heard that when the Marion
high school Junior-Senior banquet
was held in a Cedar Rapids hotel
recently, there were many evidenc-
es of drinking, and these high
school boys and girls did not buy
the liquor in Marion."
".. at the time of the state high
school music contest in Iowa City
a short time ago, a large number
of students, (in band uniforms, too)
were seen in the hotel bar mention-
ed above (in Cedar Rapids) drink-
ing beer. And without interfer-
ence."
Some of the excerpts of the state-
ment by the Marion chief of police
• are here printed because the Mar-
ion side of the episode has not been
given fair publicity.
Probably in the future the Cedar
Rapids detective chief may confine
his melter drama tactics to Cedar
Rapids and not carry on in Marion
like a cop in a dime movie thriller.
If police want to get tough when
dealing with criminals they prob-
ably can get by with it. But when
they start dealing with the average
citizen who on the whole is as law
abiding as one can be in these days
of too many laws, the least they
can do is to learn some manners
and act as polite as possible.
It would seem from the reports
of the Marion chief as to conditions
in Cedar Rapids, that detective
stanley could use his time to ad-
vantage in Cedar Rapids and let
Mai'ion run its own affairs•
Police departments deserve the
support of law abiding citizens in
stamping out crime. Episodes as
the one at Marion make the aver-
age citizen look down on such law
enforcement.
