Y. Vol. XXIII, NO. I February, 1952 For those of you who missed our Annual Meeting, December 6th, 1951, we are pleased to report an excellent attendance and a profitable evening. Among those present, were United States Attorney Myles Lane and Mr. Charles H. Tuttle, counsel for our Association and former candidate for Governor of the State of New York. In his opening remarks to the meeting, the President, Mr. Clement C. Mason, noted that this past year has been fraught with subversive incidents and crime exposures. Although we have only scratched the surface, and in spite of the cries of 'witch hunt' and 'politics', many constructive investigations have been held. Long delayed prosecutions have resulted, following a surge of public indignation. Figuaratively speaking, our courts have been spat upon by subversive groups and con.temptuous law breakers.

Mason, our speaker for the evening, Judge Samuel S. Leibowitz of Kings County addressed the meeting. Although the Judge spoke extemporaneously and off the record, our secretary, Mr. Thayer Cumings, with the Judge's permission, noted some of the salient points of his speech. Judge Leibowitz remarked that in his opinion there had not been any marked increase or decrease in crime, per se, over the years. But something else had increased alarmingly: something' Judge Leibowitz said, significant and terrifying. The age of the criminal has gone down! Instead of being adult, 85% of the present defendents that come before the judge on Indictment Day are kids. A criminal of 35 today, observed Judge Leibowitz, is an old man!
