...state officialdom. Commission Director Elmer C. Jacobsen, 49, a hard-bitten veteran of 16 years in the FBI, riled Governor Roger Branigin this month when he publicly protested the relicensing of Gary's Boulevard Tap, which he called a "notorious B-girl joint," and complained about a "wave of outlawry unmatched in the memory of living men."

Ironically, it is in the field of law and administration of justice that he is most frequently foiled. All too often white segregationists go on killing civil rights workers without fear of conviction, and white police terrorize Negroes and arrest the victims as suspects.
