Abstract

This article presents abstracts and papers related to police science, published in previous issues. One of the papers "Failure to Take Federal Prisoners Before Commissioner for Preliminary Hearing Nullifies any Confession Obtained During Period of Unreasonable Delay." Until the recent United States Supreme Court decision in Upshaw v. United States, 69 S. Gt. 170, there was considerable uncertainty as to the full effect upon the admissibility of confessions in federal cases of a failure on the part of federal officers to take arrested persons without unreasonable delay before the nearest available committing magistrate. The language the Supreme Court used in the earlier case of McNabh v. United States, 318 U.S. 332, which laid down the so-called civilized standards rule for federal criminal interrogators, seemed to indicate, or at least was so interpreted by a number of lower federal courts, that whenever federal officers failed to comply with a statutory mandate regarding early arraignment, any confession obtained by them was inadmissible in evidence.

Previously, commercial arbitration had been mostly applied in the textiles and construction and shipping industries.
