Post War Planning
Address of Chief Ch.-\rles W. Dullea to the Annual Convention of the International Association of Chiefs of
Police, Held in Miami Beach, Florida, last month. He was chairmrin of the Committee on Post-War Police Problems
The committee which was appointed in 1944 to study
and submit a report on Post-War Police Problems and
Planning was reappointed to serve in a like manner for
1945.
This committee presented a full and complete report at
the Cleveland conference and that it correctly evaluated
Chilf of Police Charli;s W. Dullea
the problem has been borne out in the light of events
which have occurred since V-J Day, August H, 194^.
The program of demobilizing the armed forces is proceed-
ing so rapidly that generally speaking the problem of
reduced personnel in Police Departments is vanishing and
we are in a position to face the post-war period with nu-
merically strong departments. The balance of the prob-
lem, however, remains the same.
Some police administrators have already taken steps to
prepare for the post-war period while others are handi-
capped by lack of funds to do the job which they are cap-
able of doing, but we are all conscious of the problem and
the necessity of solving it.
It might be well to ask ourselves "What have I done to
meet the post-war problem?" In order to assist us in our
planning this committee is incorporating into this report a
copy of the "Report of the Committee on Post-War Police
Problems" which was submitted to this Association on
August 14. 1944, at Cleveland, Ohio.
Basically the problem is the same then as now except '
that two serious, but not entirely unlocked for, situations
are coming to the front. First, the problem of canng for
the veteran who is mentally or physically handicapped
and who has been discharged from the service without
being adequately provided for by the Government, and
second, the problem of controlling firearms and ammuni-
tion which has been flooding the country, having been
brought m by e.\-service men and which could be and has
been used in the commission of crime.
The time allotted to this committee is limited and each
member has been allowed five minutes in which to present
his subject. The subjects which seem to be of greater im-
portance have been set out below and I will ask the p.uiel
members to present their subjects and, at the conclusion
of the presentations, questions will be invited from the
floor. The absence of a designated subject from the list
does not indicate that it is not an important feature of
the post-war police problem, but rather that it has been
treated extensively in the 1944 report and the situation is
still the same at the present time.
From a study of the material gathered it would appear
that the following problems arc giving law enforcement
officials the most concern:
1. Care of discharged veterans who are mentally or
physically incapacitated.
2. Control of firearms and ammunition which have
been brought into the country by service men and mer-
chant marines.
P.j,t;c- -i

.^. Strikes — mass picketing.
4. Juvenile delinquency, including salacious literature.
'. Recruitment and training.
6. National standardisation of traffic signals and traffic
control.
7. Radio communications.
8. Police buildnigs.
9. Narcotics.
A review of the program for this fifty-second annual
conference reveals that many of the above problems are
being made the subject of special attention by committees
which were appointed by President Draper to study and
render a report to the membership and 1 urge that you give
attention to the discussions which have been prepared by
the various committees for your information and guidance.
In addition to presiding during this portion of the pro-
gram and presenting the various members of the committee,
I am going to discuss briefly the problem of mass picketing
during labor disturbances.
Labor disputes are sweeping the country and accom-
panying them are the vexing problems of preserving the
peace and insuring both sides a square deal. It has been
observed that in very recent strikes the operation is on an
industry-wide basis and when a plant is struck all em-
ploymen.t ceases because other union members observe
the picket line and refuse to enter the struck plant. This
presents no police problem except for making passing
observations and reporting existing conditions. It is where
the industry attempts to carry on operations in spite of the
picket line that trouble generally occurs. It is univrsally
recognised that labor unions have a right to picket a loca-
tion as long as such picketing is done in a peaceful manner
and the general public have a right to the unobstructed
use of the streets and sidewalks in the immediate vicinity
of the struck premises and also have a right to enter and
leave the premises unmolested.
Courts have consistently held that the purpose of a
picket line is to make known to the public the fact that
the labor union maintaining the picket line has a dispute
of some character with the owner of the establishment
being picketed. The constitutional right of free speech
guarantees this method af advertising a grievance of a
union against an employer. But the right to picket as a
means of communication is not an absolute one. Picketing
mu.st be peaceful.
If pickets are massed in such numbers so as to prevent
persons having legitimate business from entering or leav-
mg a building or premise without being molested either
by physical violence on the part of the members of the
picket line or by their use of insulting, derogatory or
threatening words, such assemblage has been held to be
unlawful. Some pickets have been so close together that
persons could not enter the premises directly from the
■ ' but were required to proceed to the end of the
: ' ■ t line and then walk back along the sidewalk in a
-pace of three feet between the picket line and the wall
of the biiilu'ini;.
In some instances pickets were massed so close at the
vehicular entrances of struck plants that vehicles could
not enter until the lines had been parted by the police.
Sound truck with amplifiers have been used on picket
lines which broadcast instrumental and vocal recorded
selections in extremely loud tones and over which the oper-
ator used insulting and threatening words directed toward
persons who desired to enter the premises. It has been
observed that the language generally used by members of
a belligerent picket line is intended to terrorize and intimi-
date persons who attempt to cross the picket line. In a
very recent case where relief was sought in the courts
against this type of picketing it was alleged that the lan-
guage used by members of the picket line was, "Keep the
line tight boys so the yellow rats can't get in," "Here
comes the lousy skunk," "We will take care of you boys
some day," "Get his license number," "Take a good look
fellows, so you can remember them," "Finks," "Scab,"
"Rats" and was directed against all persons entering or
leaving the premises.
The above type of picketing has been held to be unlaw-
ful and when the police permit the picket line to exceed
the number necessary to adequately inform the public of
the dispute, they are only building up trouble for them-
selves which always ends in violence and bloodshed. Police
chiefs should he well informed of all labor disputes which
are occurring or are about to occur in their respective com-
munities and should see that all laws and ordinances af-
fecting the maintenance of picket lines are strictly observed.
It would be good practice to consult with the union offi-
cials in charge of the strike and a mutual understanding
arrived at and thus much unpleasantness could be avoided.
When harmonious understandings are established there are
no reasons why cordial relationships should not obtain be-
tween the police on one hand and the disputing parties
on the other.
It must be borne in mind that the employer and his
associates are equally bound to observe the rights of the
striking parties and they should be required to conduct
themselves in such a manner that they do not give offense
to the pickets. It often happens that when persons pass
through picket lines and feehng that they are being af-
forded police protection, they make offensive and sly re-
marks and unnecessarily irritate the pickets and the pickets
being only human are provoked to commit unlawful acts
and trouble ensues. Persons who commit this type of bait-
ing should be promptly dealt with and if their actions
precipitate trouble they should be arrested and prosecuted.
Labor disputes create tense situations and invariably the
police are caught between the opposing factions, but if we
insist upon a strict observance of the law by both sides and
refrain from any appearance of partisanship our lot will
be made easier.
We must also be mindful of the fact that the establish-
ment of a picket line does not necessarily indicate that a
labor dispute exists. Picket lines are being used by various
groups as a means of registering their opposition to persons
who are holding meetings and who entertain and express
views which arc at variance with theirs. A striking illustra-
tion of this situation is the activity of Gerald L. K. Smith,

International Chiefs Meet
The fifty-second annual convention of the Interna-
tional Association of Chiefs of Police was held in Miami
Beach, Florida, December 10, 11, 12 and 13. Around 1000
Chiefs of Police from Canada, Mexico, the United States
and some South American countries were in attendance,
and it was a meeting, the first peace time one since the
war started in 1941, that covered a wide field of post-war
problems.
Brigadier General D. Colburn Draper, Chief Constable
of Toronto, Canada, as president, called the members of
the association to order on the morning of December 10.
Among the prominent speakers on the four-day pro-
gram were:
Major General Leslie R. Groves, of the War Depart-
ment, who spoke on "The Atomic Bomb."
Director John Edgar Hoover, whose address appears in
this issue of the Journal.
Chief John M. Gleason of Greenwich, Conn., who led
a panel discussion on "Professional Standards for Police."
Chief Charles W. Dullea, whose panel handled "Post-
War Police Problems." The start of his address is to be
found on another page of this issue of The Journal.
"Juvenile Delinquency and Crime Prevention," was
discussed by a panel headed by Chief Inspector John J.
O'Connell of New York City. On this panel was Captain
Hubert W. Hutchinson of the Santa Monica Police De-
partment.
Chief E. Raymond Cato of the California Highway
Patrol and his panel presented a constructive array of
facts on "Post-War Police Problems on a State Level."
He also participated in the discussion of the joint speed
committee and two other committees.
On the annual report of the Safety Division of the
Association was Director Gordon H. Garland of the CHP.
Brigadier General Ramon Jiminez Delgado, Chief of
Police of Mexico City, presented a paper on "Post-
war Inter-Police Cooperation."
At the election held on the concluding day of the con-
ference the following were selected to direct the Associa-
tion's affairs for the present year;

Chief Dullea lACP 2nd Vice-President
Chief Charles W. Dullea v^-as elected second vice-
president of the International Association of Chiefs
of Police, at the annual convention held in Miami
Beach last month.
San Francisco's Chief of Police will be elevated
to the presidency at the 1947 meeting. With his ele-
vation to the head office of the Association he will
be the third Chief from this city to hold this honored
position. The late Chief Daniel J. O'Brien served as
president in 1927 and former Chief William J.
Quinn as president in 1938.
Chief Dullea has been attending the annual meets
of the lACP for nearly 20 years. Since he was ap-
pointed Captain of Detectives he has not missed a
single annual session of the Association.
He has contributed much to the worthwhile pro-
grams of the international organization, and besides
serving in the various vice president offices during
the past three years, he has been on many important
committees. He is recogni-ed by the Chiefs of other
cities for the capable manner he has served the peo-
ple of his native city.
When he is placed in the president's chair of the
International Association, he will have completed
serving as the chief executive of all the law en-
forcement associations he is a member. He is a past
president of the Bay Counties Peace Officers Asso-
ciation and last year completed his term as president
of the State Peace Officers Association of California.
During his encumbency as presiding officer of
the two latter organizations he demonstrated his
aptness as a leader and came up with many ideas
for law enforcement that have been adopted
throughout the State as well as in the Bay Area. He
will ser\'c the International Chiefs of Police as well.

The Candid Friend
Bv Opie L. Warner
When we see an accomplished musician perform, we
reahze at once the long, arduous hours and months and
years it tcxik to attain that wonderful technique. Simi-
larly, we feel that outstanding professional men have very
many years of hard, conscientious study and effort behind
them.
At the present time the war-created vacancies in our
Police Department are being rapidly filled hy men in their
early twenties — fine specimens of Young America, willing
to undertake a life-long job of making the streets of San
Francisco safe for our citizens and the homes of San Fran-
cisco safe places in which to dwell.
Policing is definitely a profession rather than a job —
a most exacting profession. In fact, it is so many-sided it
demands much more of head and heart than the original
so-called professions, and infinitely more so than the thou-
sand and one avocations modernly classed as professions.
Being really a veteran in the matter of police routine I.
feel a few fatherly hints for the young men who are daily
joining the ranks of our local army in blue are not at all
out of place in the Candid Friend columns. I believe in
brevity and so I set my admonitions down in ten little
paragraphs.
1. Do not try to be a diplomat. Taxpayers e.\pcct a
peace officer to be a man of common sense and to act ac-
cordingly. G(M)d old horse sense is generally a substitute for
acquired techniques, but there is no substitute for horse
sense.
2. Even the most depraved law violators e.xpect to find
honesty in peace officers. It is a well known fact that offi-
cers who have earned the reputation of being square
shooters come off best with law violators. A young officer
who feels the spirit of larceny — a feeling common to all
humans — is rather strong in his. particular case, should
be honest with himself and with his family, and hand in
his resignation; for, as a police officer, there is, alas, vast
opportunity for the play of the spirit of larceny, and a day
is almost certain to come when the officer weak in the
matter of honesty will be officially requested for said res-
ignation.
3. Beware of presents. The accepting of same puts you,
more or less, in the position of having two masters. The
city pays you what it promi,sed. If you think the stipend
is insufficient, quit now.
4. Be normally humble. Otherwise you will fret and
work, and fight the noisy critics, who, after all, are only
a tiny portion of the population. An officer who uses his
head will not be ashamed to ask advice from his fellow
officers. In doing this he will win their respect by showing
that he does not consider himself a know-all. An humble
officer will never try to be a John Law in the eyes of the
citizens of his acquaintance: neither will he belittle citizens
whom it becomes his duty to arrest.
'^. Do not pass judgment on the people you arrest. Do a
good job of securing evidence against them — with no show
of personal resentment. The judge knows his business
and expects only honest prosecution on the part of the
testifying officer.
6. Do not forget that we all have constitutional rights —
these rights being so broad as to cover every act except
actual violations of the law.
7. Do not under estimate the ability of law breakers.
The most dangerous ones are uncannily clever, and it is
difficult indeed to outguess them. You hold the top cards,
and with patience and perseverance you are sure to win.
8. Remember a soft word turneth away wrath, also,
that familiarity sometimes leads to contempt; so, in your
routine police duties, be civil with all but refrain from
acting as a pal. The officer who "keeps his distance" saves
himself from many embarrassing situations.
9. Arrests are most serious undertakings, and should
never, on any account, be made without staple cause. You
are not a court, hence, on no account, be bluffed into
releasing your prisoner. When you feel an arrest should
be made, make it. Apply that good, old rule: Be sure you
are right, then go ahead.
10. Know your laws and ordinances. Lack of this
knowledge is the basis of any trouble you will run into —
especially in the matter of arrests- You always have to be
cautious and alert when taking persons into custody. Good
people are insanely jealous of their character: ^id crim-
inals of their continued freedom. Good people will yell
about suing you for false arrest: the insane and the bad
men will take your life if they get the slightest chance.
Careful search and proper handling of such will be your
only protection. A big per cent of the officers killed or
injured are successfully attacked because of carelessness
on their part.

"In extending to the members of the San Francisco
Police Department and their families, my sincere
wishes for a Happy New Year, I am mindful of the
splendid performance of duty which was accom-
plished by the department during the year that is
drawing to a close.
"The best traditions of the Department were

the first of the year. In his absence, may I express
to all of you my best wishes for a joyful Christmas —
our first real Christmas since 1940 — and a bright
and prosperous New Year!
"Dan Gallagher, Acting Mayor."

Sacramento's Department Spawned in Most
Glamorous Era o( California's History
'In the Days of Old, the Days of Gold, the Days of '49"
By James Kendrick
(Continued from last month)
In 18^ Marshal White was replaced by David Mc-
Dowell, who served hut one year when White was re-
stored to his old post.
By this time the city's population had grown to 150,000
persons and it was the nerve center, the gateway to the
Mother Lcxle Country. The chh and flow of humanity
Chief Alexander McAlli.ster
into the rich gold fields passed in and out of the city. It
was a motley group of every nationality in the world,
spawned in greed of the get-rich-quick god and nurtured
in a flaming riot of emotions, which was bound to breed
disorder. And only a handful of men were expected to
keep this situation under control.
But crime had not been the only despoiler of the strug-
gling city. Pestilence struck with the speed of lightning,
on October 24, 1850, when bubonic plague hit the city.
Eight days before the steamer Oregon had arrived at
San Francisco with the news of the State's admission to the
Union. On hoard was a cholera stricken passenger who
traveled on to Sacramento on the river steamer New
World.
The city quickly became a pesthole and sixty deaths a
day were registered as the pestilence swept through the
inhabitants.
More than 600, few ever identified, were buried in long
trenches.
This was the only time after the initial gold rush, that
crime became totally dormant in the city. Streets were
deserted, gambling houses and saloons closed, and an ex-
odus from the city was under way. But it didn't last long
and by November 15 the epidemic had been stamped out.
It was during this three-year period that Chinese began
to make their entrance into California in large droves to
work under contract in the mines.
Many deserted and shifted for themselves, accumulating
enough to enter Sacramento and establish the first China-
town in this country, thousands of celestials inhabiting the
Chinese quarter, but of whom only a few remain.
It was also during this period that the first Chinese tong
was formed. Originally a social society for Orientals far
from home, but which soon blossomed into cliques which
began war upon each other and which added to the burdens
of the city police force.
It was also during this period that the now historically
famous battle of tongs took place between several hundred
members of two separate societies and which ended with
only a few bruises and cuts.
It was mentioned that the first settlers ignored Captain
John A. Sutter's empire of New Helvetia. But this im-
munity from the horde of newcomers was not to last.
It wasn't long until they despoiled his lands, stole his
stock and took up residence on many choice parts of his
domain, all of which culminated in the notorious squat-
ters' riots, and which caused Cunningham to lose out as
the city's first chief of police.
The country rained gold, and that was what most
settlers sought directly.
But there were, others more farsighted, who saw in this
boisterous community, an eventual city of means and who
worked toward that end.
The city was to pass through that period that brought
the world famous, but quickly passing, Pony Express —
the "horse telegraph," which was quickly pushed out of
its place in history by the completion of the first transcon-
tinental telegraph line.
It was to have a grandstand seat at the race of the
Central Pacific, pushing East, and the Union Pacific in its
drive toward the West to complete the first "Iron Horse"
route across America.
All these things have been duly recorded in vast vol-
umes of history. They were momentous events.
But through all these glorious and golden periods of
Sacramento's history, her tiny six-man police force was
hardly noticed, although the influx of criminals who fol-
lowed in the wake of each improvement only added to
the increasing burdens of her law enforcement officers.
The city had grown out of her swaddling clothes and
now was pushing out the seams of her breeches toward

new boundaries.
Tents had long disappeared, to be replaced by modern
structures of the times. The soHd citizenry was seeing to
that.
But nothing apparently was to be done about aug-
menting the little group sworn in to offer protection to
those very citizens.
"The city is swarming with check raisers, forgers, swin-
dlers and others of that ilk to add to the criminals who
have had a free run," wrote one chronicler.
But it is noted that by 1861 when Fred T. Burke was
the city's chief they still had but a six-man force.
And it was in this year that Burke had the only "big"
murder of his tenure of oiKce tossed into his lap one early
morning in March of 1861.
The chief had just reached his oiEce when a Walter
Morris raced in and declared :
"There's something wrong over at Mathias Wetzell's
store."
An investigation showe4 that Wetzell had been blud-
geoned to death and his place ransacked of money and
jewels.
But here again, historians forgot to record events that
led to Burke's deduction that one William Wells was
guilty of the crime. But he did, and put out a police
"flyer" on the wanted man. A few days later Virginia
City, Nevada, officers captured Wells and found some
of the missing jewelry. Here again events are clouded. One
account says Wells was shot escaping arrest, while an-
other states he escaped and later was killed in another
foray. At any rate, he apparently never was returned
to Sacramento to atone for his crime.
It was in this year that the debonair Charles J. Flynn,
scion of a prominent New Hampshire family, moved to
Sacramento, and who was to provide its "big" murder
case eleven years later.
Other than that Burke held office until 1867, to be re-
placed by Ben C. Martz, little is written of the depart-
ment's activities.
However, it was to be Chief Matt Korcher's job to
deal v,'ith the effulgent Mr. Flynn in 1872, after the
New Englander had shed his more common monicker and
had become known as Charles Albert Mortimer.
Mortimer had carved a career of crime for himself in
the San Francisco Bay area after his first visit to Sacra-
mento in 1861. It had been Chief Burke who chased the
young man from the city in '61, and during the next ten
years he apparently stayed away from Sacramento.
Early on the morning of September 20, 1872, Chris
Wenderholt, a friend of Mrs. Mary Shaw, also known as
"Mrs. Gibson." a woman of mystery, ran up to Officer
Weritworth, who was on his Front Street beat, and told
him that something was wrong at Mrs. Shaw's saloon.
Wentworth and Chief Korcher, who had been contacted,
went to investigate and found the woman murdered.
The woman's throat had been cut from ear to ear and,
according to Wenderholt. her friend, $500 was missing
from its accustomed place, a special pocket, which had been
cut in her dress
The officers questioned Wenderholt, but he had an
alibi. Indians, Mexicans and others who had habituated
her place were dragged in for questioning. They too, had
alibis.
In the meantime Chief Korcher was thinking in terms
of scientific crime detection and had the contents of a
beer glass, found in the woman's room, analyzed. It
contained strychnine. Chief Korchar found a druggist who
had sold some the day of the murder to a man with "a
full red beard."
When Officer Harris heard that, he remarked, "That's
funny, I think I know a guy who shaved his heard at 2
a. m. the night of the slaying.
The officers ran down the man in the room of a woman
with whom he lived.
It was the debonair Mr. Flynn, alias Mortimer.
The woman, Carrie Spencer, said that not only had
Flynn shaved his beard at 2 a. m., but had showed her
$.iOO and some jewelry that same night.
When he threatened to cut her throat on the scene,
the officers believed they had enough evidence, which
proved proper reasoning and Flynn was sentenced to hang.
The sentence was carried out at 5 a. m. May H, 1873.
A tragic sequel to the affair was the. futile attempt of
Flynn's younger brother to keep a member of the family
from hanging. He was killed by jail guards trying to effect
his brother's escape.
While the city continued its steady expansion away
from the river, adding tree-shaded streets to its rapidly
improving residential district, the small police force con-
tinued to have its hands full in the comparatively small
area known as the West End, a situation that exists to
this day.
It was not until M. E. Stevens became chief in 1875
that the city council saw fit to grant the department's
continuous plea for more men.
Then that august body finally bowed to Chief Stevens'
requests and magnanimously allowed him to add two
men to the force, giving him a grand total of eight men.
And he got them just in time to use them on the most
diabolical rnurder plot ever devised in the West up
to that time.
While not strictly a city case, it properly belongs to
the city forces" archives because most of the investigation
was handled by Chief Stevens and his staff.
Long fingers of evening shadows were cast over the
waters of the Sacramento River on August 1, 1878. The
creak of oarlocks could be heard as a small rowboat glided
toward Grand Island. Two men were in that boat. One
rowed while the other lounged in the stern, a picnic basket
resting prominently on his knees.
Several persons saw the boat, but rowboats were no
novelty on the river and little attention was paid to it.
Shortly after 6 p. m. people living along the river
bank opposite the island heard three shots. Neither were
they unusual. Old Man Aaron M. Tullis, a retired capi-
talist, lived on the island with only a Chinese houseboy,
and often seen shooting on his 667 acre domain.

Chief O'Brien is Big Help to F B I
The F. B. 1. broke the Thora Chamberlain Santa Clara
kidnapping case, but the man the F. B. 1. gave credit for
their success is Chief Robert O'Brien, for two years head
of the San Mateo Police Department. Chief O'Brien, who
less than a year previously, had completed a course in the
National Police Academy, displayed his ability as a police
Chief Robert 0"Brien
officer in this kidnapping case, as he has on numerous other
cases. Though the unfortunate victim of the kidnapping
was taken in another jurisdiction. Chief O'Brien entered
the case because of his sincere belief in cooperation and
he did some high class deductions. We present a story
of his part in the case as published in the San Francisco
Chronicle:
"It was a feeling that Chief of Police Robert E. O'Brien
of San Mateo had about Thomas Henry McMonigle that
led ultimately to the solving of the abduction and murder
of Thora Chamberlain.
"He knew something about the ex-convict's police record.
From recent dealings with the man O'Brien concluded he
was "just the type" capable of spiriting Thora Chamber-
away — and killing her, if he deemed that necessary to save
his own hide.
It was about a week after the 1 5 -year-old San Jose high
schfjoi girl stepped into an old Plymouth car driven by a
"hawk-nosed" man and driven away, never to be hc.ird
from alive, that Chief O'Brien communicated his iiuncii
to the F. B. I.
"This man McMonigle," he told them in effect, "is the
guy for you to watch."
And he told the F. B. I. men what he knew about the
man.
What he told them l.i! tn McMonigle's arrest and to his
confession.
He recalled that McMonigle, then a bus driver for the
San Mateo Transit Company, had been arrested for assault
and battery during an argument with one of the company
supervisors.
McMonigle had been fingerprinted, and after five days
in jail, released on two years' probation.
And last May Chief O'Brien had had occasion to inves-
tigate the attempted rape of a girl student of Mercy High
School, Burlingame, attributed to McMonigle.
McMonigle, so the police were told, had induced the
girl to get into his car on a pretext of showing him the
way to some place or other about which he pleaded ignor-
ance.
The girl was driven into the hills where her abductor
attempted to rape her. The girl's screams attracted the
attention of a passing motorist. She fled and her assailant
drove away.
O'Brien filed a complaint against McMonigle, charging
him with attempted rape. The case was dismissed when the
girls' parents declined to permit the prosecution of the
case, wishing to save their daughter from undesirable
publicity.
"From all this, it was easy to see that McMonigle was
erratic, to say the least. I knew that he had served time in
Illinois for the attempted rape of an elderly woman,"
O'Brien said.
"Since his arrival in San Mateo in 1945, I had become
somewhat familiar with his mode of life — what made him
tick.
"I recalled, when Thora Chamberlain disappeared, that
this fellow was something of a nut over women. 'Teen
age girls roused the evil in him.
"There had been numerous complaints, while he was
driving a bus, of his having attempted to pick up girls of
school age, inviting them to ride.
"It got so bad that some of these girls jokingly formed
what they called a "McMonigle Club.' They did not realize
just how bad he was. They thought he was something of
a character.
"They used to ride in his bus and kid him. Sometimes
one of them would pretend to make a date to meet him.
"I knew Thora Chamberlain had been driven away in a
19.5J Plymouth sedan. I knew McMonigle drove such a
car, keeping it in his home at 24 East Poplar Street,
San Mateo. So I just told the FBI what I knew about
McMonigle. "
F. B. 1. officials were high in their praise of Chief
O'Brien as a smart policeman.

Sergeant Lindenau Honored
Page II
In the nature of a farewell party, but in reality as a
token of appreciation for the splendid work he had done
during the war years as liaison officer for the Police Re-
serve, Company H, Police. Sergeant Ernest H. Lindenau
was the guest of honor at a gathering early last month in
the locker room of Taraval Police Station.
There were gathered many men who have given many
hours of their time to aiding the regular police officers dur-
ing the past four years. During the evening a buffet sup-
per was ser\'ed. This consisted of roast turkey with all the
fixings. While the boys were partaking of the feast, music
and vocal numbers were furnished by accordionist Joe De-
Pucci, Company H reserve officer. Reserve Captain Dan
Tinney and Ettore Massagli, Company H, rendering vocal
numbers.
There were numerous speeches, the closing one being
that by Reserve Lieutenant Robert Tiedemann, also presi-
dent of the South of Army Improvement Club, who
sketched the history' of Company H under the leadership
of Sergeant Lindenau. He stated in effect :
At the start of the world conflict Sergeant Lindenau
contributed many long hours of service in training and
drilling the men of the Auxiliar>' Police Unit from Com-
pany H. Under the Sergeant's leadership during the years
that followed the company won two drill championships,
in competition with all other companies, two revolver
championships: three soft ball crowns and three howling
championships.
Company H had the largest organised day platoon, 48
men, made up of night workers. The company, through a
whist game, raised funds to purchase the only patrol wagon
in the city's auxiliar>' organisation. This wagon was put
to good use in transporting men from the various details
during the gasoline shortage. By holding other affairs the
company had a large fund with which it could entertain
its members, thereby keeping up a high standard of morale.
Company H mdeed had a splendid organisation under
the directorship of Sergeant Lindenau and we profoundly
regret his leaving the company. However, in being trans-
ferred to the traffic bureau he can be assured he is leaving
a job well done.
His many friends from his old company wish him well
in his new assignment.
Lieutenant Teidemann closed with the presentation of
a beautiful traveling bag with a fitted leather case, a token
of how highly esteemed he is with the members of Com-
pany H Police Reserve.
Others who made brief speeches were Supervising Rc-
ser\'e Captain Mervyn Sullivan, Captain of Personnel
Dan Tinney, Officer Frank Ward, and Officer Julius Von
Nostit:, who succeeds Sergeant Lindenau. Officer Von
Nostits will act as liaison officer for both Companys H
and L.
Also in attendance were the three able reser\-e lieuten-
ants from Company H, who contributed many hours of
volunteer service during the emergency period; John But-
ler. Ehno Simmons and Frank Krister.
There were over 60 members of the company present
at the festivities.

THE RECONVERSION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT
Address of ]. Edgar Hoover, Director F.B.I. . at the Fifty-second Annual Meeting of the International Association of
Chiefs of Pohce. Miami, Florida, December 10
There is a marked similarity between our meeting six
years ago, as war was spreading in Europe, and our first
peacetime meeting today. The firing has stopped on the
battlefronts, but it is being resumed on the homefront. We
had a big job to do then, but a bigger one faces us today.
At our last peacetime meeting, it was my duty to convey
to you the President's directive calling upon all law en-
forcement to protect our internal security, and to call
upon you for assistance. The manner in which you
John Edcar Hoover
answered your country's call to duty is a tribute to your
love for America. Never in our national history have
brighter pages been written by men working together for
a common purpose.
Already, I have expressed my gratitude to many of you
and today I want publicly to extend to all of law enforce-
ment my heartfelt appreciation for your assistance in keep-
ing our homefront secure. It is also my privilege to extend
to you the personal greetings and commendation of the
Attorney General of the United States, Honorable Tom
C. Clark.
The ability of all branches of law enforcement to ccxiper-
ate and to pool their facilities proves once and for all that
we needed no unified agency to insure the discharge of our
responsibilities. I have said before, and I say again, that
there is no place in our American way of life for a Na-
tional Police. Our first line of defense in peace or war is
the lixal police agency. It is on the scene and can strike at
lawlessness at its source. The role of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation shall continue to be that of a service
agency to augment and bolster your efforts and to handle
those matters which are nationwide in scope and beyond
the reach of hometown protectors.
As we look to the future, we should also consolidate our
gains. At the very inception of hostilities, we were all
apprehensive of what might happen. That these fears did
not materialize is a tribute to the forces assigned to main-
tain the peace at home.
In every period of national emergency, it is normal and
natural for human beings to become panicky and hysteri-
cal. There is not an experienced law enforcement adminis-
trator in the land who was not criticized for seeming
inaction. We could not publicly proclaim what we were
doing and why. But in no civilized land in time of war
were civil rights and personal liberties abridged less than
here in the United States. The civil rights which we pre-
served then must be preserved in the future. The dragnets
of World War I were unheard of in this war. The slacker
raids did not recur. The lynchings and character assassins
of World War I were checked. On the other hand, the
sabotage which everyone said would occur did not take
place.
Early in the war, skeptics proclamied that we were wide
open to espionage. They held that nothing was secure and
nothing was being done. The record is exactly to the con-
trary. We knew from the very outbreak of the war that
espionage was under control. I do not mean that the enemy
was not active. He was. Foreign powers tried to steal not
only the atomic bomb, but other military secrets. For years,
Nazi Germany had built an espionage machine and an
army of fifth columnists, which proved to be the downfall
of once proud nations. They spent money with reckless
abandon and were constantly on the alert to train, develop
and unleash spies and saboteurs, not only in the United
States, but throughout the entire Western Hemisphere.
The counter espionage program which we developed did
more than encircle spies and render them harmless.
There is a universality to law enforcement in demo-
cratic countries. I am happy to report that the integrity
and devotion to duty of peace officers in the United States
has been matched by our neighbors in the North, in the
South, and by our British allies. It was our happy privi-
lege to be closely associated with the security and intelli-
gence authorities in the British Isles, with that sterling
organization in Canada which has captured the imagina-
tion of all Americans the Royal Canadian Mounted Po-
lice- and with similar agencies in all of the countries in
the South from Mexico to Chile.
It can truly be said that so far as subversion is con-
cerned there is no such thing as a domestic field. It is inter-
national. Japanism manifested in this country had its origin
in Japan, Nazism in Germany, and Facism in Italy, and
without the wholehearted spirit of mutual assistance of all

Bureau of Identification and Investigation
B>i George H. Brereton, Chief of Division
Address to the Bay Counties Peace Officers' Association, Hotel Claremont, Berkeley, November 29
Sometime in 1941, I aj:tended a meeting of this Asso-
ciation. At that time I was your State Supervisor of Peace
Officers Training. I say your "State Supervisor" because
although my salary was paid by the Bureau of Trade and
Industrial Education of the State Department of Educa-
tion, I had been appointed by the former chief of the bu-
reau, Mr. J. C. Beswick, upon the recommendation of the
State Peace Officers Association and the Board of Mana-
Chief George H. Brereton
gers of the Division of Criminal Identification and Inves-
tigation. My job at that time was to serve the peace officers
of California by assisting them in organising departmental
and zone training schools, and by organizing and directing
the technical institutes for peace officers which were held
each summer at the University of California at Berkeley
and in Los Angeles. That was my job when I was called
to active duty with the United States Navy in November,
1941.
Four years have passed since I last saw you — four
years of death and destruction for millions of our military
personnel on far-flung battle fronts. During these same
four years, the people at home faced worry, and sometimes
hardship. During those years, you police officials were
faced with innumerable problems, including insufficient or
inexperienced personnel and inadequate or worn-out
equipment.
Although the lighting has ceased on the battlefield, our
job at home has just begun. Today, and always, our big
job is efficient and effective law enforcement. Whereas in
the military service there finally comes an end of fighting
(if only for a period of a few years) , in law enforcement
the struggle with the forces of evil never ends, but goes
on indefinitely. Although you have met and solved many
problems during the past four years, you cannot relax your
vigilance now. As all of you know, you must increase it,
due to the increase in crime which is indicated by news
reports from throughout the country.
Today I appear before you with a new title — with dif-
ferent specific duties and responsibilities from what I had
in 1941. But, I have the same fundamental duty and re-
sponsibility that I had then — that of aiding and assisting
you whenever and wherever it is possible for me to do
so. It is not only my personal desire that the Division of
Criminal Identification and Investigation be developed to
its maximum capacity of furnishing service and assistance
to all law enforcement agencies and officers in California,
it is the wish and the command of Attorney General
Kenny, Director of the State Department of Justice.
Probably there are many of those present here today
who know far more about the early development of the
Division of Criminal Identification and Investigation (or
the "Bureau" as it was then named) than I do, but, for
the purpose of giving some background to the present
organization and operation of the division, allow me to
outline something of its history:
In 190?, shortly after the Henry System of fingerprint
classification was introduced into this country, the Cali-
fornia State Legislature passed an act establishing a State
Bureau of Identification at San Quentin Prison and pro-
vided for the appointment of a director of the bureau by
the State Board of Prison Directors. Money to operate the
bureau was provided out of prison funds, and, in 1907,
the Legislature appropriated six thousand dollars (6,000)
for its maintenance. However, by 1909 many of the larger
police and sheriff's departments in the state had estab-
lished their own identification bureaus and were ex-
changing fingerprints and other information on persons
arrested or suspected of having committed crimes. Since
the state bureau at San Quentin was restricted by law to
filing records of persons "who had been, or may be con-
victed and fined and imprisoned," this information was not
complete enough to furnish the desired assistance needed
by law enforcement authorities. Without having any sup-
port from the local departments, the "bureau" was refused
an appropriation by the Legislature and ceased its exis-
tence.
In 1917, at the request of District Attorneys, Sheriffs
and Chiefs of Police, who now saw the need for a central
clearing house of records and information, the State Leg-
islature re-established the bureau and. adding the word
"Investigation" in the title, placed the control of the bureau
under a board of managers, consisting of a District Attor-
ney, a Sheriff and a Chief of Police, who were appointed
by the Governor, to serve without salar5% for terms of
four years. In that same year, the board of managers were

Sergt. Smith New Aid Association President
Sergeant Henry M. Smith, the newly installed Presi-
dent of the San Francisco Police Widows' and Orphans"
Aid Association has been a memher ot the department
for over 41 years. He was appointed a police officer on
October 10, 1904.
On donning his Hue uniform he did service in an outside
station, hut because of his efficient police work he was
Srrcf.ant HhNRY M. Smith
brought into the busy Central District in 1912. Here he
exhibited the same fine qualities that singled him out as
an able officer. He served on the infamous Barbary Coast
during its last years, and like all those officers assigned to
that district he had to have plenty of savvy and the ability
to take care of himself under any and all circumstances.
He had it.
He remained in the Central District until 1923, when
he got a day watch and was assigned to an outlying sector.
In 1916 he displayed the rare courage that has many
times marked the activities of the members of the San
Francisco Police Department. And he got shot on the
occasion.
One night, it was September 16, 1916, he was patrolling
his beat in the neighborh(x)d of Kearny and Columbus ave-
nue, when his attention was attracted by a couple of shots
in a nearby hotel. He started for the place from which
the shots had been fired and as he neared the hotel there
poured out a crowd of irate natives of our southland
country. Two of the Latins were leading the pack, evi-
dently being chased by the others. Officer Smith and his
partner Officer Joseph King, now retired, entered the
chase. As the former was catching up with one of the
fleeing men several more shots were fired, some by the pur-
sued and others by the pursuers. One of them hit one of
the men in the lead and he fell dead. Another shot hit
Officer Smith in a leg, but he kept on and grabbed his man.
It developed that a fight had started over a card game
and the two men who were being chased had shot a player
over some dispute about the deal.
Officer Smith recovered from his gunshot wound and
appeared in court against the man he arrested, and saw
him found guilty and sent to San Quentin for life.
He returned to his duties as a patrolman, but on Janu-
ary 1, 1927, he was assigned to the Property Clerk's office
and there has been on duty ever since, being e.xcceded in
seniority in that department only by Officer Harry Higgins.
He mastered the many details of this difficult and im-
portant department and when Captain Patrick Murray
was instructed to set up a supplies department in the old
Harbor Station, Sergeant Smith contributed a great deal
of the work that has brought high praise from the Chief,
Deputy Chief and Police Commissioners. Since the sup-
plies bureau was opened on September 4, 1944, he has been
in charge, and if a pencil is wanted, a new typewriter is
needed, or more paper desired, you have to see Sergeant
Smith, as he deals out all supplies necessary for the opera-
tion of the Police Department. You don't have to take a
seat and wait until he finds what you are requesting. He
knows where every article under his supervision is located,
because of the fine system that has been set up, and you
are handed the thing you are requesting before you get a
chance to observe what a well arranged place the stock
room is.
Six years ago he was elected to the Aid Association's
board of trustees. He served five years as a trustee and in
1944 was elected vice president. He was unanimously ele-
vated to the presidency at the election last month.
President Smith has learned a lot during his long tenure
in the department, and he will serve his year as President
of the Association in keeping with the fine traditions estab-
lished by his many predecessors.

The Danger of Direct Evidence
By Detecti\'e Sergt. Sanders, Denver Police Department
Page n
(Editor's note: Detective Sanders wrote this article
for our Police Journal at the request of the late In-
spector Thomas Curtis of this department. This is the
second request for a rewrite of this article — this re-
quest coming from the Northwestern University'.
The following stor>- of a direct evidence case, in which
I was one of the arresting officers, where two innocent men
were charged with murder, is. I believe, without parallel
in the annals of police history-.
In the year of 1912 a uniformed officer of the Denver
Police Department by the name of McPherson, was as-
signed to patrol a beat in one of Denver's suburbs, known
as Valverde, where the majority of the citizens were em-
ployed in the glass works and paper mills. Soon after two
hoboes named Tullos and Ri;or appeared in the little ham-
let. These men were conlirmed drunkards and petty lar-
ceny thieves, and proved to be a great source of annoyance
to the residents. They would steal harness or an^-thing they
could pick up, dispose of it for a few cents, and spend
the money thus obtained for liquor.
Officer McPherson finally arrested the pair and
charged them with vagrancy. They were found guilty and
given thirty days in the County Jail. After the trial they
werfe heard to make some ver)- threatening remarks against
the police officer, and later when they were released from
the Denver jail they returned to Valverde and directed
some more threats against Officer McPherson. Some of
the citizens repeated the threats to McPherson. but he paid
very little attention to the matter, only remarking that he
would either run Tullos and Rizor out of the place or
lodge them in jail again.
On the evening of March 9, 1912. a cold, snowy night,
after Officer McPherson had made his rounds to the
glass works, he stepped into a saloon to get warm. The
saloon was owned by a man named Lloyd and was situ-
ated on the banks of an irrigation ditch. Close by a bridge
crossed the ditch. Lloyd had an old man working for him
who acted both as janitor and bartender. When the police
officer entered the saloon, Lloyd, his wife and bartender
were the only occupants of the place. The bartender,
seeing McPherson, said: "I just saw the. two hoboes out on
the bridge." The officer went out to see if he could find
the men, but came back shortly saying they were not there.
However, the bartender insisted that he saw them there
just before the officer came into the saloon. The officer
then unfastened his belt in which he carried his night stick
and began to remove his overcoat. At that instant two men
came running into the place through the rear door, each
one holding a gun in his hand. At sight of the police offi-
cer they opened fire, shooting McPherson through the
breast. Lloyd, who had started to run behind the counter,
received a shot in the back. McPherson grabbed for his
gun and fired, but the men retreated through the back
door and made a get-away.
Chief Hamilton Armstrong of the Denver Police De-
partment, mustered all the men he could into service and
ordered them to the scene of the shooting. When the chief
and I arrived we found McPherson arid Lloyd badly
wounded, so we immediately called the ambulance and
sent them to the County Hospital. Lloyd, Mrs. Lloyd,
McPherson and the bartender all contended that it was the
two hoboes. Tullos and Rizor, who had done the shooting.
In making an investigation we discovered the foot prints
of two men in the snow. We followed the tracks along
the side of the irrigation ditch and they led to the door of
a rough shanty used by a ditch rider as a telephone sta-
tion. We found the door unlocked and entered the shack,
which contained an old iron bed and a few dirt>' bed
clothes. We lighted some matches and discovered the two
hoboes fully dressed with hats and shoes on covered up
in the bed. They were well under the influence of liquor,
and we placed them under arrest, putting the handcuffs
on them. The place was then thoroughly searched, but
we found no firearms.
We came to the conclusion that after the shooting they
had thrown the guns into the ditch. We brought the men
back to the scene of the shooting, where the bartender
and Mrs. Lloyd positively identified them as the ones who
had done the shooting. Tullos and Rizor were loud in
their protestations of innocence, claiming that neither
owned a gun. They were given the usual third degree,
but still the men were firm in their denial of any connec-
tion with the affair. Finally we put them in the patrol
wagon and drove to the County Hospital where McPher-
son and Lloyd had been taken.
Tullos and Rizor were ushered into the ward occupied
by the two injured men. and both McPherson and Lloyd
identified them as the men who had done the shooting.
McPherson pointed an accusing finger at the two hoboes
and said. "You dirty, murdering, sons of b's." Officer
McPherson and Lloyd died about midnight, but before
they passed away they each signed a written statement
that the two hoboes were the men who had shot them.
After we left the hospital we took our prisoners to the
Denver Cit>' Jail, and upon our arrival there we found
forty or fifty police officers banded together, all anxious
to lay their hands upon the offenders and avenge the death
of their brother officer. Chief Armstrong and I and a few
other officers, after quite a scene, finally succeeded in
locking the men safely in a cell, but we found it necessary
to remain on guard all night to keep the infuriated men
from breaking into the cell and lynching the hoboes.
About 4 o'clock on the morning of March 10th. a doc-
tor by the name of Curtis, with offices in the Cooper
Building at 17th and Curtis Streets, called Police Head-
quarters and reported that he had just taken a wounded

Praise Letters to Chief Dullea
January. 1946
The following communications have been received by
Chief Charles W. Dullea :
"The 11th annual Newspaper Guild Frolic is now his-
tory. It was very successful because so many of our friends
contributed their bit of assistance. You are one of those
who so graciously helped us out — we are most appreciative
and thankful- Any suggestion you may have to offer for
the improvement of this affair will be welcomed. Let's
make 1946 even more successful.

"Recently at the corner of Geary Blvd. and Masonic
Ave., my Oldsmobile sedan was struck and considerably
damaged by a car belonging to Frankie Fern of Oakland,
California, which was, at the time of the accident, being
driven by a Mr. Phil Payton, of Inglewood, California.
In answer to my call for the police. Officers Clarence Wise
and Hazelton French of the Accident Prevention Bu-
reau responded in a patrol car. The purpose of this letter
is to express my full appreciation for the courteous treat-
ment received and for the efficient manner in which these
two officers dispatched their duties. I should like to have
you express that appreciation unto each of these two
officers concerned. It is a satisfaction for us to have such
officers in your department, and I particularly appreciate
some of your problems, having myself been Provost Mar-
shal in the United States Army until recently.

"I wish to take time to praise your men who appre-
hended this young nuisance who was breaking into service
stations on Lombard Street. I operate a service station on
the corner of Lombard and Buchanan Sts., and on the
night of Nov. 15, 1945, my station was broken into by
this boy, as I learned later, A neighbor saw this boy in
the station, gave chase, but could not catch him. The
next evening this same boy was seen by this same man
trying to break into the station, and quickly called the
police. Your men arrived instantly. In a short time this
boy was caught in another service station which he had
broken into. The two men who made the arrest were
Officers Honeff and Ross, Northern District. I praise
these officers for their interest and determination to appre-
hend this hoodlum. These men certainly are a credit to
your department.
John Sivicri, 1898 Lombard St."

"On July 5, 1945, I wrote you on behalf of the War
Chest, asking that you accept the Chairmanship of the
Police Department to handle the solicitations of the offi-
cers under your command. Your response was prompt and
cordial and when the time came for the opening of the
campaign, the Police Department's part of it had been well
organized. The campaign has been over for several weeks
now, and I want to express to you, and to those who
worked actively in this under your directions, the thanks
of the War Chest and my own personal thanks for the
splendid cooperation which we reecived from your divi-
sion, from first to last.

"Allow me to express my appreciation to Officers Frank
H. Sturken and Wallace Young, Co. E, for the prompt
and efficient manner in which my stolen car was located,
Nov. 25. Parked for the ballet performance at the Opera
House, I was completely confused as to the location and
gave up after running around for two hours. Two fine,
husky officers responded to my call and located the car
in fifteen minutes. My best thanks to the efficiency and
courtesy of the San Francisco Police Dept.

"Due to a minor traffic difficulty last night, Nov. 29,
1945, Mrs. Korshet had occasion to ring up the Police
Department. Officers Hall and Ross of the Northern
Station responded, and were highly efficient and cour-
teous. May I take this opportunity to express our thanks
and to assure you that such excellent cooperation on the
part of your staff deserves this short citation of appre-
ciation.
Dr. Maurice Korshet, 516 Sutter St."

"On Nov. 6, 1945, Eric Adolf son was convicted in the
U- S. District Court, S. F., of the crime of receiving stolen
government property, by a jury trial. On Dec. 6, 1945,
the case against Anatole Kellogg was dismissed upon the
motion of the U. S. Attorney. I would like to take this
opportunity to thank you for the cooperation afforded
this office by Inspector Peter Kenealy of your Special Ser-
vices Bureau, in assisting in the investigation of the case
and also Sergeant John M. Dyer and Officer Clement J.
Daugherty, who assisted in the same investigation.
C. W. Stein, Special Agent

"I appreciate so much the kind and courteous treat-
ment that two of your police officers gave Mrs. Banker
the other evening that I thought you would be interested
in knowing about it. On Tuesday evening while attending
the Opera, Mrs. Banker's automobile was stolen from Mc-
Allister and Polk Streets. She phoned to the Police De-
partment from the State Building and she was asked to
remain right there and within a few minutes two officers
came out. They were very kind to her, getting all the par-
ticulars and then drove her and the lady with her to the

Commissioner J. W. Howell Reappointed
Nine members of various boards and commissions of
San Francisco were reappointed by Mayor Roger Lapham,
effective January 15. Among those honored by the Mayor
was Police Commissioner J. Wesley Howell, who was re-
appointed for a four-year term.
One of the first official acts of Mayor Lapham when he
took over the management of the city of San Francisco
2 years ago, was to appoint a new police commission, the
three who served under his predecessor, Angelo J. Rossi,
having submitted their resignation. Of the three appoint-
ments. Commissioner Howell was the second, Jerd Sulli-
van being the first selection, and E. L. Turkington, third.
During his two years as a member of the Police Board,
Commissioner Howell has made many friends in and out
of the Police Department. He is the only member of the
Commission who has a license to practice law, and the
training he got to win this honor has served him well in
his first public office. As head of the Haslett Warehouse
Company he is recognized for his business ability. This,
too, has served him well in the commission plans to make
the Pcilicc Department the fine organization it is.
Mayor Lapham is to be congratulated on his reappoint-
ment of Commissioner Howell, and we can say that Com-
missioner Howell well merits this official recognition for
his outstanding work as a member of the Police Board.
SHERIFF GLEASON NEW PRESIDENT
OF BCPO ASSOCIATION
The Bay Counties Peace Ofl&cers' Association's new
president, Sheriff H. P. "Jack" Gleason, of Alameda coun-
ty, heads the largest force of county law enforcement
officers of and California counties. Los Angeles, alone leads
in that respect.
Sheriff Gleason is in his second term as sheriff, having
been appointed on the resignation of former Sheriff M.
B. Driver, and was elected to his present job by an over-
whelming vote at the county election over three years ago.
As a bailiff in one of Alameda county's Superior Court,
a position he took after years in the newspaper business,
he carried out his duties in a manner that made him many
friends and won him the high regard of officials he came
in contact with. Most important was the respect that the
then Sheriff had for him, for when M. B. Driver an-
nounced his intention to step out of the office he had filled
so creditably he made his resignation incumbent on the
appointment of Bailiff Gleason. He didn't have any trouble
impressing those who had the appointing of his successor,
that his bailiff was the right man for the job.
Sheriff Gleason during his tenure as chief law enforce-
ment officer of the greatly increased population of Alameda
County has justified the confidence his former boss had in
him and the supervisors who made his appointment pos-
sible.
He has introduced many changes in the conduct of his
olfice that had been accepted as an example of fine admin-
istration. His able staff of deputies have done great work
in bringing in violators of the law, and in the administra-
tive department of his office he has adopted many changes
that have given the people of his county a maximum of
service and at no great added cost.
Particularly is he interested in seeing that not only his
men are given the recognition they deserve, not only in
adequate salaries, but safeguards assured by proper pen-
sion and retirement rights, but he has carried his fight along
these lines to the State Peace Officers' Association and
the Sheriffs' Association, and has appeared before both
organizations with facts and figures to back up his ideas.
Too, he is a strong advocate of mutual aid among law
enforcement officers, and has had a large part in formu-
lating the plans the peace officers of this state have adopted.
Besides being president of the Bay Counties Association,
he is second vice-president of the State Peace Officers'
Association of California. In both organizations he has
become recognized for his constructive ideals and deals.
"I want to express the appreciation of the School Sys-
tem for your contribution to our Institute Program. It
was well received and I have heard many fine comments
concerning it. The Institute Program this year was more
successful than usu^d. This was apparently true because
of the thoughtful program which you developed and be-
cause so many teachers participated. Lieutenant John P.
Meehan, Big Brother Bureau, carried out your program
and we are very grateful to him for his efforts.

Communication Coordination Committee
Report hy J. A. GREENING, Chairman, to State Peace Officers' Association Radio Committee
(Continued From Last Month)
It IS obvious that under the Law Enforcement Mutual
Aid plan, when care from one area or several areas are
assisting in another, the use of a standardised code should
be used in order that all messages mean the same thing to
all officers. The same situation prevails when monitoring
other stations for "hot messages" to be broadcast.
We submit this code to you and recommend it for your
use and would offer it for adoption by this association were
Deputy bHERifF John Greening
it not for the fact that we failed in our coordination activi-
ties due to the fact that the police radio communication
officers have a northern and a southern California assO'
ciation. We are informed that they, too, are or have
worked out a code using a 10 series similar to the one
recommended by their national organization, the Asso-
ciated Police Communication Officers' Association. While
it would be desirable to have a statewide code, we see no
objection to two codes, as long as each is standardized in
a given area. The Northern California radio group mem-
bership extends to Fresno and includes all of Nevada,
except one county. The southern group covers the remain-
der of the state.
Through the courtesy of Chief Bob Tracy, Oakland
Police Department, we have a limited number of sets of
the standardized code arranged numerically and alpha-
betically, which Inspector Morgenthal. communications
chief of the Oakland Police Department, will hand to
those operating radio stations who do not already have a
copy. For obvious reasons, they cannot be given general
distribution. He will be at the doorway as you go out.
Regarding a method of reducing the number of mes-
sages to be screened by dispatchers monitoring other sta-
tions, in order that they may be alerted to "hot messages"
only, the two northern associations previously mentioned
agreed upon the following procedure:
When a crime has been committed which may be of
interest to or the criminal may possibly escape through
an adjacent or neighboring community, a dial tone, using
a telephone dial attachment, is sounded preceding the
broadcast, and all stations monitoring are immediately
alerted, copy the message, set their dial tone in operation
and rebroadcast the information within their respective
areas. By this method, it makes it possible for dispatchers
to monitor more stations as they need only to be alerted
by dial tone to a dozen or so messages a day instead of
several hundred in which they have no interest. It speeds
up communication and makes certain that when support
is needed, the message will not be mis.sed.
There is a better way to do this however, suggested
hy Radio Engineer McMurphy and submitted to and rec-
ommended by the Bay Counties Peace Officers" Association
and the Northern California Police Communication Offi-
cers" Association; that is, to have a separate frequency,
mutually shared by law enforcement agencies in pre-deter-
mined areas, which would be used only for the purpose of
broadcasting and receiving "hot calls"" and calls for assis-
tance of other police agencies when it is necessary or
desired, or for use when land lines fail. By the employ-
ment of this method, only one frequency would need to
be monitored and there could be no messages missed.
Both of the associations previously named have passed
resolutions and foru'arded them to the F. C. C. peti-
tioning the commission to allocate frequencies for such
use. The commission "s response, although they do not com-
mit themselves at this time, is favorable to the idea, but
nothing further seems to have been done about it. We have

a copy of their resolution which we have presented to
your resolutions committee, and urge that it be passed hy
this association and forwarded immediately to the F. C. C.
with a letter requesting early and favorable action.
Your Committee wishes to recommend to the associa-
tion that our membership take advantage of the frequen-
cies now available for radio telegraph service. Califorijia
has lagged far behind the middle west and eastern states
in this regard. There arc only two departments which are
licensed (and these are in Southern California) and which
are now operating radio telegraph equipment. There are
107 state and municipal police radiotelegraph stations in
the United States with whom we could communicate. The
savings in commercial telegraph tolls alone to the larger
departments and to the smaller departments for whom the
larger oneb could send messages would more than cover
the cost of the installation, the first year, to say nothing
of the saving of time and elimination of commercial tele-
graph delays in obtaining information in other states re
auto licenses, persons under suspicion or arrest and other
emergency information. It would also preserve the secrecy
of transmissions in important cases and guarantees authen-
ticity of the messages.
In this connection we would like to recommend that the
1946 communication coordination committee explore the
possibility of a state radio telegraph system in the State
Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation for
inter and intra state police communication to supplement
the already excellent state-wide teletype system.
In conclusion, your committee feels that our association
has not been in as close contact with representatives of the
two police communication officers' associations in this State
during the year as we should have been and that we are
probabty missing a great deal of information and technical
advice by not having them on our convention program
each year. It is our recommendation that succeeding chair-
men of this committee keep in touch with them at regular
intervals and that each year a panel discussion on com-
munication problems be made a part of the program; that
each association be asked to send one or more representa-
tives to participate in the discussions and to answer such
questions in this field as our members require the answers
to or advice thereon.
Finally, through the courtesy of your second vice-presi-
dent, Sheriff Jack Gleason of Alameda County, we have
with us today Brower McMurphy, radio engineer, who,
through the understanding and cooperation of our Board of
Supervisors of Alameda County, made it financially pos-
sible for him to be present at all of the hearings, meetings
and arguments which took place in connection with police
radio during the very turbulent period of the last two
years. If you desire to ask him any questions regarding
the problems of the future in communications or what and
when we can expect from the manufacturers, he will
endeavor to answer them for you in the time, assigned to
this committee report, or time not permitting, he will be
around the remainder of the morning and Sheriff Gleason
invites you to contact him on any matters in which you
think he can assist you.

WELFARE, DISABILITY AND SERVICE PENSIONS
Panel Headed By Chief Harold Zink, of Palo Alto, and Participated in By District Attorney Ralph Hoyt, Ala-
meda: Chief J. D. Holstrom of Berkeley, and F. B I. Special Agent John Vincent
(In the last issue of The PoHcc and Peace Officers"
Journal, we presented the opening remarks of Chief How-
ard Zink of Palo Alto, the chairman of the Committee on
getting better pay, pensions and working conditions for
peace officers of California. The following are contribu-
tions made by Chief John Holstrom of Berkeley.) (The
Editor.)
Just to crystallize what has been said I think this point
might be made: No one in the law-enforcement business
Chief H. A. Zink
would quarrel with the objective of raising salaries and
improving our prison systems, so the question is how
should we do it.
I ask you to consider what John Vincent said. He made
an excellent introduction to what Chief Zink and Mr.
Hoyt said. And I will remind you of a short address
where Jack Gleason spoke at Fresno last year and talked
about comparison. A lot of the basic things on this subject
are brought out in the proceedings of the 1938 Interna-
tional Association of Chiefs of Police convention.
We want to improve the salaries and improve the quali-
fications for the work. The beginning place is right down
at the bottom with the people we employ. The foundation
must be laid for better salaries and better pensions in the
people we have on our forces. The same thing can be said
of the training program. We have to consider the people
we are going to train.
The thing has gone along those lines, and it has been
pointed out in the Bay Cities Association that the help
is needed not in the big cities, and perhaps not even the
middle sized, like Berkeley, but in the small cities. The
small cities make up the bulk of the cities of California.
The small chiefs need assistance.
We should get together, if possible, within the next year.
We can agree on most of the minimum requirements for
police personnel in California. There will be some contro-
versial points. We agreed in the discussion in the Bay
Counties Police Association and the welfare committee
that we should not repeat the same mistakes we made be-
fore. We got stuck on some of the controversial points
before. We should forget them and get together on the
points we can agree on, get them on paper, get them
approved, and put out as a general guide for the members
of the association when they need something they can
point to when they are attempting to talk to their city or
county officials.
I would like to leave this final thought. I believe that
the peace officer in a small city should be paid as much as
in a large city. He must know as much, if not more, than
the man in the large city because he does not have avail-
able the specialists in the very large departments in the
state. When we talk about standards, qualifications, and
salaries, we should talk about the law enforcement field
all the way through and should work on that basis.
Chief Zink: Thank you. We have with us today up
here on the platform a member of the F. B. I., which
organization probably has done more in the field of educa-
tion for police officers and helping to raise the standards
of police officers than any other organization we have

had. It gives me pleasure to again introduce John Vincent
of the F. B. I.
John Vincent (Special Agent in Charge, San Fran-
cisco) : Members of the association, I feel highly honored
to have been designated to work with this committee be-
cause of the fact I have only been in this section of the
state a short time. Whatever I might do and whatever I
might present from my organization to bear upon your
problem will be a pleasure to do.
It has been mentioned that you merit the thing, these
gains you hope to have. Certainly you ment more than
you are getting now, but one thing is true, you must let
the public realize you merit them before you can be assured
of some of these results. In order to obtain these results,
the committee has felt after setting up these standards,
they not alone are going to acquire your goal, but it is
necessary to set up and maintain a permanent instruction
or education program. The larger departments have that
entrance course. Other departments are not so situated
and have no such requirements.
It is believed that one goal of your committee will be
to set up a basic course of study, finally reaching a pre-
employment course in colleges, a course related to employ-
ment in the police profession. There are many pre-
professional courses in schools that you could not teach
anyone. This setting up of a pre-professional course would
still give you a reservoir personnel to call upon, and over-
come the objections that have been raised about teaching a
person before they come into the work.
It was felt by the committee they will study this prob-
lem in order to consider a basic course which would be
necessary in each department in the State before a man
could become one of these qualified officers, or before he
can become a police officer.
Those things have not crystallized in their final form.
There are many items to be considered and it will take
considerable discussion and a lot of good judgment on the
part of the members of the committee.
In-service training is set up in the larger departments on
an annual basis. The small departments have a training
course whenever they can work it out. It will probably be
necessary to set up some form of training on a regular
basis, coming every six months or every year, but the com-
mittee has expressed itself as feeling definitely that you
must have some form of training which will be carried
on on a permanent basis in your department. You must do
something to reach this standard.
These are some of the things your committee feels you
will have to do to attain the standard. When you do
attain it, when you are where the public knows what your
plan is, then it is going to be all the easier for you to get
the other things you need and want in your department.
So the ideas expressed in the committee are, set the
standards, begin your regular training, and then go after
these other more complex and difficult things.
As I pointed out to you, you may he assured that the
F. B. I. feels that it is a part of our duty and a pleasure
to help you in any way possible, in this committee or any

other place, in raising law enforcement standards. Our
director has taken the lead years ago on that same line, nor
have we deviated from it. I assure you if I can do any-
thing as agent in charge in San Francisco, or the special
agents assigned in these districts, it will be a pleasure to
serve you in any way possible.
Chief Zink: Now you have heard of the many ramifi-
cations you realize how broad this subject is. In talking to
my friend, Chief Farrell, he says, "Have the state asso-
ciation bring ri^e a set of minimum requirements and we
will hold to what they have set. I have to set pay and
salaries."
We start with these minimum requirements and we ask
the cooperation of the education committee to set up
schools in a small city. I would rather send him to a state
school when I hire' a man than to train him two or three
months. I am sure he would be worth more than if I car-
ried him a year or so and trained him when I could.
We want these basic standards. I think that is the report
of the committee.
President Dullea : Thank you. Chief Zink, and mem-
bers of the panel, for that interesting report. We can see
in what direction our thinking lies and I know you will
have an enthusiastic committee appointed and make
progress.

law enforcement agencies, domestic and foreign, the FBI
could not point to the proud record we have today. Let
me illustrate. Germany, lacking an ever necessary supply
of platinum, turned to the black market of South America.
One arch platinum smuggler was arrested in California.
His trail led through several South American countries.
In each, the facts were communicated by the FBI to the
established law enforcement agencies in those countries and
the holes were plugged. In one espionage case which cen'
tered in New York, shipping information was getting out
of the country. Contacts of the enemy were spotted in
faraway Brazil and Chile. There, the authorities quickly
moved into action. Twenty-four clandestine radio stations
were put out of business, thirty short'wave transmitters
were seized, and in all, 33? espionage agents were arrested
in South America alone through the fine cooperation of the
countries of that continent.
More than 23,000 enemy aliens throughout the Wes-
tern Hemisphere were identified, interned, deported or
moved from strategic areas through the joint efforts of
local law enforcement agencies and the FBI. We not only
thwarted enemy sabotage at home — none occurred in the
entire Western Hemisphere throughout the entire period
of World War II. We of law enforcement can be very
proud of this record.
We have faced many problems, burdened as we were
with added duties, untrained personnel, and acute man-
power shortages. The salaries paid to law enforcement offi-
cers are scandalously low. Community leaders should hang
their heads in shame when they condemn their local police
without first facing the fact that the average officer could
command a much higher salary in the industries he protects.
In replenishing our ranks, we should enlist the aid of
the public in improving conditions, in providing better
facilities and in securing the modern implements of law
enforcement. A community can have no better investment
than in an alert, well trained police department. It is false
economy and a flagrant disregard of society's rightful pro-
tection to reduce essential enforcement services.

POLICE AND PEACE OFFICERS" JOURNAL
January, J 946
Our greatest advances have come through concentrated
training programs. But we have scarcely begun to scratch
the surface. Like every other popular movement, leeches
and parasites have already tried to attach themselves to
the field of police training. Here is a job that belongs in
the ranks of law enforcement. It is no place for profes-
sional promoters with quack nostrums to sell nor for strato-
sphere thinkers disseminating mists of error and confu-
sion. Yet, I know of instances where ex-convicts with glib
tongues have actually succeeded in ta\ing part in training
police and in surveying police needs. The International
Association of Chiefs of Police can embark on no more
important program in the postwar years than a widespread
campaign to lift police standards through well established
training activities conducted by professional men of law
enforcement who have dealt in the realities of the problem.
The need for increased effectiveness and the marshaling
of whole communities on the crime prevention front be-
comes more important each day. Lawlessness has taken on
such proportions as to even startle the imagination. The
crime waves proclaimed in the daily press are not imag-
inary. They are real. They are bloody. If anything, the
press is guilty of understatement rather than overstate-
ment. Let me be specific. In October of this year serious
crime increased 19 per cent over the same month last year.
Of the more serious crimes, the increases reflect 32 per
cent more murders, 38 per cent more auto thefts, 38 per
cent more robberies, 11 per cent more larcenies, and 26
per cent more burglaries. Crime rates are continuing to
rise rapidly throughout the entire nation.
The fingerprint files of the FBI reveal a criminal army
of six million individuals who have been arrested and
fingerprinted — one out of every 23 inhabitants in the
United States! You know only too well the constant recur-
rence of arrests.

man from the Bay Window Block at 18th and Curtis
Streets to St. Joseph's Hospital. He said the man had been
shot in the back and that the bullet passed through his body
and lodged under the skin in his breast. Dr. Curtis was go-
ing to operate on him, but he would not consent to the oper
ation, nor would he give the doctor any details of what had
happened to him or how he received the wound.
Officers were mimediately dispatched to St. Joseph's
Hospital, with orders to keep the man under surveillance
until an investigation could be made, and others were sent
to the Bay Window Rooming House. The landlady of the
Bay Window said that the two men had been occupying
Room 9 for a couple of weeks, that they stayed very
close in the daytime, but were out most of the night, and
that a woman visitor usually brought their meals in to
them. She described the men, saying one was about 35
years of age, light complexion and heavy build. This
description fitted the man in St. Joseph's Hospital. The
other man said to be 22 or 2 3 years of age, dark com-
plexion and medium build.
A guard was maintained over the wounded man and
two officers were left at the rooming house. Instructions
were given to the landlady that if the man's partner called
up to inquire about his pal's condition, she was to tell him
he was very sick and desired to see him immediately. At
7 a. m. the landlady answered a telephone call, which
proved to be from the wounded man's companion and he
was greatly concerned over his friend. She told him the
man in question was ver)' ill and wished to see him at
once. He told her that he was out near First and Broad-
way, but that he would take a car down town as quickly
as possible. He arrived in about half an hour and went
to Room 9, where he was put under arrest and taken to
Police Headquarters.
After about thirty minutes questioning, he disclosed
his identity, saying his name was Ed Sewald, and that the
name of his partner in the hospital was Oscar Cook. He
further stated that they were the men who did the shoot-
ing at the saloon where McPherson and Lloyd were shot.
He confided to us that he and his partner. Cook, had been
out on "stick-up" jobs and that they had gone to the 'Val-
verde saloon with the intention of holding up the pro-
prietor, but when they saw the officer in the saloon, they
immediately opened fire, because they feared he was lying
in wait for them.

POLICE AND PEACE OFFICERS' JOURNAL
]anuary, 1946
for the purpose of interviewing Cook, but he would admit
nothing, nor would he answer a single question. When
we returned to the city jail, we found Sewald more anxious
to talk and he was willing to turn state's evidence to save
his own neck. Sewald informed us where he had hidden
the guns and we recovered them in South Denver. The
bullet taken from Officer McPherson's body was from a
.38 caliber revolver and it fitted Cook's gun. After this
the two hoboes, Tulios and Rizor were immediately re-
leased and they dropped from sight. Cook recovered, but
would not allow the bullet to be extracted.
Later Cook and Sewald were formally charged with
the murder of Officer McPherson and Lloyd, and the case
was tried in the West Side court. On Sewald's testimony.
Cook waf found guilty of first degree murder and was
sentenced to be hanged, and because of the fact that he
did turn state's evidence Sewald was given life in the
state penitentiary. Cook paid the penalty with his life, and
after he was hanged the bullet was taken from his body
and it proved to be the .38 caliber bullet from Officer
McPherson's gun. Later, through influential friends in
England, Sewald was pardoned and went to his friends
in that country.
If the bullet from Officer McPherson's gun had not hit
Cook as he ran from the saloon, the two hoboes would
have been tried for the murder of both men, and the cir-
cumstantial evidence against them, together with the death-
bed identification of Lloyd and McPherson would have
made it very difficult for Tulios and Rizor to beat the
"rap."
During my thirty-four years of service on the Denver
Police Department, I never knew of a case equal to this
one.

KUICE AND PEACE OFFICERS- JOURNAL
Slips of the Pen
January, 1946
Rcadin>; thouiands of police reports and card-indcxing
and lilinj; them is miMiotiMious work at best, hut sometimes
the hi>y» down in the record room at the Hall of Justice.
do get a chance for a hearty laugh when a rarely con-
structed report suddenly cn>ps up.
Take this gem for instance :
The complainant requesu that the proper police action
he taken m order to abate the following: A swarthy Ital-
ian, apparently of lov.' birth, constantly at all hours of the
night drives a dark colored sedan with yellow wheels in
front of the above address with the cut-out of the car open,
and causing the car to back-fire with such crescendo that
the (Vcupants of the above household are annoyed and
distressed to such a degree that they arc unable to get
their pn>per rest The complainant intimated that the
dnver of the car involved is known as Sam, and that he
employs this noisy method of serenading a female member
of the family, much to their disapproval. The address of
the wanted person is unknown and was unable to prevent
the same during this watch."
(Additional.)
"This swarthy Italian is identified as He
has been interviewed and instructed as to the law that
further cause for complaint would cause arrest. A muffler
IS to be placed on exhaust pipe of his auto to chill the
crescendo."
All is not gold that glitters, and police officers who write
in their reports about : "Tan leather" women, or "Savage"
boyg, or "Pale green" ladies, or " Bill McCann" over-
coats, are not at all in the class of the fellow who sees pink
elephants on the wall.
Here are some gems of expression which have been
selected from actual reports. This list covers a period of
miny months ,ind really gives a gixjd idea of the pres-
sure under which the makers of the multitudinous reports
called for in modern p<")licc procedure work. The various
sentences arc reprtxluced accurately, as to punctuation,
capitals, etc., and will certainly prove interesting to mem-
bers of the department who contemplate promotion and
are consequently meticulous in the matter of language:
1 wire, haired terner white, vtnth brown eye (^ rear leg
answers to name of "Tony."
I dark brown leather ladys purse.
1 raparound overcoat.
2 prs swede mans gloves, grey
One small gent's brown leather purse.
I dark blue camel, hair with belt??
1 Black Beaver Gents Overcoat.
1 Black ladies' envelope purse.
1 Westficld man's watch.
I Pale green lady's sweater.
I new Gent's overcoat.
I old style open face mans watch.
I single brea.tted gents suit.
I Bill McC'ann overcoat.
I pink ladi's cimpact
1 Savage boy's bicycle.
1 Black leather ladies purse.
1 Bill McMahon top coat.
1 large si:c women's envelope purse.
1 square tan leather woman's purse.
1 Bill Mcann<in Overcoat.
Sometimes in their hurry the members of the Depart-
ment making reports, mix their adjectives a little, or be-
come a little careless with the apostrophe expressing pos-
session.
Recently, according to a report coming to the record
room, an artificial man either was "taken for a ride," or
probably got drowned while swimming in the Channel
down at Fourth Street. This unfortunate man also lost a
leg, as would appear from the report, which states that a
citizen reported to the officer making the report, that he
noticed the leg stuck in the mud in the Channel and a
shoe and a sock nearby on the bank of the Channel.
The officer made an investigation and found a black
man's shf)c, a white man's s(Kk and an artificial man's leg,
which wonderful find he described as follows in his rejwrt:
1 — Low cut black man's shoe, size about a No. 7, China
Emporium Lts. Hong-Kong stamped inside of shoe.
1 — White man's cotton sock.
— Artificial man's leg, Sperackler make, serial No. 2078.
Left leg, knee length.

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
POLICE COMMUNICATION OFFICERS
ASSOCIATION
J. D. HossACK, President
R. E. Moore, Secretary-Treasurer
The Northern California Police Communication Officers
Association held their regular monthly meeting in Martinez
on December 13, 1945 with George Burton acting as host
at the luncheon served prior to the meeting.
The meeting was opened at 2:30 p. m. by President
Bogardus with introductions of the members and guests
present.
Director Hippley reporting for the party committee said
that it would be necessary to wait until after the first of
the year to obtain entertainment.
The approved membership applications of C. D. Bouton,
regular member and Rox Penlon, commercial member
were read and on motion of McMurphy, seconded by Lewis
they were voted to membership.
Application for frequency clearance for San Anselmo
Police Department on 33,100 and 33,220 kc. F. M. for
mobile was read and on motion of George Burton, sec-
ondeJ by John Maybee, the clearance was granted. The
frequency application of Daly City Police Department for
37,100 kc was presented and objection was raised by Sgt.
Trinta of San Mateo on grounds of interference. After dis-
cussion of the frequencies available, 39,500 kc. was recom-
mended and being satisfactory a motion by Ralph Moore,
seconded by McMurphy, that Daly City use 39,500 kc.
was passed by vote. Application from the San Francisco
Oakland Bay Bridge Authority for clearance on 39,100
and 39,180 kc. was read and on consideration of the con-
gested conditions in the 30-40 mc band the application
was tabled for further study. The suggestion that some
thought be given the new 72 mc band for new services was
offered for the consideration of the Bridge Authority.
A letter pertaining to C. W. system received from the
Alameda County Sheriff's Dept. was read. The letter con-
tained information from the F. C. C, received by the
Sheriff, H. B. Gleason of Alameda County, when applica-
tion for interzone station was made recently. The F. C. C.
stated that normally only one inter-zone station is licensed
in each zone, such zone boundaries coincide with state
boundaries. They suggested that if it is desired that Cali-
fornia be divided into two zones the matter be taken
up with the NCPCOA and CPRA and statements in
duplicate from each organization indicating zone bound-
aries be submitted with application for interzone station.
The matter was discussed by the members present and on
motion of McMurphy, seconded by George Burton, a letter
is to be sent CPRA stating our desire that the state of
California be zoned for three zones. If such is satisfactory
with CPRA the recommendation will be forwarded to the
Alameda County Sheriff's Department for transmittal to
the F. C. C.
The next subject for consideration was the nomination
of officers for 1946. Nominations were as follows:
President: J. D. Hossack, nominated by LeBouef, sec-
onded by Hudson; Henry Bogardus, nominated by R.
Moore, seconded by Matjasich.
Vice-President: Ray Gada, nominated by McMurphy,
seconded by Burton.
Secretary-Treasurer: Ralph Moore, nominated by Lewis,
seconded by Hartnett; Al Taggart, nominated by Burton,
seconded by Hossack.
Board of Directors: George Hippley, nominated by
Matjasich, seconded by Harrington; Ed Maeshner, nomi-

by McMurphy; Henry Kirby, nominated by Burton, sec-
onded by Maybee.
The appointment of a member to collect news items for
the APCO Bulletin was discussed, and on motion of Tud-
hope, seconded by Trinta, the member is to be appointed
by the next president.
The members asked that a letter expressing our appre-
ciation be sent to Mr. Opie Warner, publisher of the
Police Journal and to the State Peace Officers' Associa-
tion for their efforts in our behalf.
McMurphy discussed the problem of obtaining surplus
war equipment and asked that a committee of members
from Sacramento be formed to watch for such material
when it is offered for sale at the depot in that city. No
action was taken, but the Sacramento members present
said they would watch for such material.
On motion by Burton, seconded by McMurphy, the
next regular meeting is to be held at Crystal Springs in

CHIEF BRERETON
(Continued from Page J3y
empowered to appoint a superintendent and other em-
ployees from a civil service list. Mr. Clarence S. Morrill,
whom many of you remember, was appointed the first
superintendent of the new bureau, and remained in com-
mand until his death in 1940.
The Legislature also, in 1917, set forth the duties of
Sheriffs, Chiefs of Police, etc., relative to the taking and
forwarding of fingerprints to the "bureau," as well as fur-
nishing reports of stolen and pawned property.
In 1929, the Peace Officers" Association of California
secured the passage of an act allowing the employment
of special criminal investigators by the bureau, to assist,
at the request of any law enforcement agency, in the in-
vestigation of crimes. This was primarily for the purpose
of assisting small communities or rural areas where trained
investigators might not be available. In the same year,
1929, the Peace Officers' Association secured the passage of
an act making it the duty of the board of managers to
establish throughout the state schools for the training of
peace officers. However, no funds were appropriated to
carry out the provisions of the act, and although the act
still remains on the statute books, now substituting the
Attorney General for the board of managers, funds have
never been provided by the State Legislature for establish-
ing the training schools.
Since 1929, various acts have been passed which have
placed responsibilities upon the division in addition to
those which were outlined in the Statutes of 1917, and
which have finally brought it into the Department of
Justice. In 1951, with the passage of the Concealed Wea-
pons Act, the Division of Criminal Identification and In-
vestigation became voluntarily the central registry for
copies of firearms permits which are issued by Sheriffs
or Chiefs of Police. With respect to machine guns, how-
ever, it was made the responsibility of the chief of the
division (then called the superintendent) to issue permits
for the possession of machine guns and tear gas equip-
ment, upon the recommendation of the local District At-
torneys, Sheriffs, and Chiefs of Police. The law, of course,
in no way restricts the possession or use of machine guns,
or gas equipment, by law-enforcement agencies. During
this same year, the Legislature provided for the installation
of a state-wide teletypewriter communication system —
one which has grown, both in equipment and business dur-
ing the past 14 years, and a system which many of you
have occasion to use frequently.
In 1935, two acts were passed by the Legislature which
were ultimately to affect the organization and operation of
the Division of Criminal Identification. One added a new
section to the Political Code, outlining the powers and du-
ties of the Attorney General, making him the chief law
enforcement officer of the state, and empowering him "to
appoint, not to exceed ten special agents or investigators,"
and the other created a "Division of Criminal Identification
and Investigation" in the Department of Penology, which
was to be administered by the "superintendent of the Bu-
reau of Criminal Identification and Investigation." In

19J9, the Legislature amended the 1917 statute to include
the Attorney General as a member of the board of man-
agers and in 1941 a section was added to the 1917 act, as
a war-time measure, to allow the employment of an addi-
tional nine investigators.
In 1943, the Legislature amended certain sections (607
and 607f) of the Civil Code relating to the formation of
corporations for the prevention of cruelty to animals and to
children, and to the appointment of humane officers. This
provided for the indorsement, by the chief of the Division
of Criminal Identification and Investigation, as to evi-
dence of necessity. It also provided that the humane offi-
cer must be fingerprinted and that a copy of any criminal
record be furnished by the State Division of Criminal
Identification and Investigation to the superior court judge
of the county in which the corporation is established and
the humane officer appointed.
Finally in 194^, the Legislature passed an act providing
for the reorganization of the State Criminal, Penal and
Correctional System, which included the establishment of
a Department of Justice under the direction and control
of the Attorney General. The act also provided that the
Attorney General would succeed to, and exercise the pow-
ers of the board of managers, who would continue to exist
as "an advisor)' board to the Attorney General and super-
intendent with respect to the operation and conduct of the
bureau."
With the passage of the act of 1945, the old Bureau of
Criminal Identification and Investigation was absorbed
into the new Department of Justice and was made one of
five divisions of the department. The other four are gen-
eral administration, criminal law, civil law, and narcotic
enforcement.
At the present time, the Division of Criminal Identifi-
cation and Investigation includes a Bureau of Investigation
and a Bureau of Identification. The Bureau of Investigation
includes both investigators, who were formerly under the
Bureau of Identification and Investigation, and special
agents, who were a separate group of investigators work-
ing under the Attorney General. This bureau is in charge
of the Chief Special Agent, Mr. J. J. McClelland, former
Chief of Police, Long Beach, California. Mr. McClelland
also acts as my assistant and commands the division in my

The Bureau of Identification includes the fingerprint
section, the modus operandi section, and the technical lab-
oratory. Both the fingerprint and modus operandi sections
are subdivided into units to better carry out their duties
and responsibilities. The fingerprint section, for example,
has units established for various primary fingerprint classi-
fications, engaged in classifying, searching and filing finger-
prints. In addition, there are "units engaged in searching
and filing "Alpha" cards, units engaged in indexing, etc.
In the modus operandi section, there are certain functions
included which have no M. O. importance. They are placed
in this section simply for ease in administration, or be-
cause of some connection with M. O. activities. Included
in the modus operandi section is ( 1 ) a wanted and missing
persons unit; (2) a handwriting unit; (J) a fraud preven-
tion unit — new and not entirely in operation; (4) a stolen
property and pawnshop unit; (^) a firearms registration
unit, and (6) a crime reports unit.
As of July 1, 1945, there were 2,089,992 fingerprint
cards and 1,267,34? photographs on file in the California
State Division of Criminal Identification and Investiga-
tion. Not including personnel in the statistical and teletype
sections, which have been placed in the general administra-
tion division, the division employs seventy-five (7?) per-
sons in various administrative, technical and clerical
capacities.
You have heard how the Division of Criminal Identifi-
cation and Investigation has developed and how it is pres-
ently organized. I wish to outline briefly what we are doing
and what our tentative plans are for the future.
1. Daily we receive hundreds of fingerprint cards from
local law-enforcement agencies for classifying, searching
and filing. "Connect-ups" with prior records must be
made and the local agency notified. Other agencies may
also be looking for an individual whose fingerprints are
submitted and they too must he notified. Hundreds of index
cards must be made and filed on the fingerprints sub-
mitted.
2. In addition to the fingerprints received, numerous in-
quiries are received daily by letter, by teletype, and by
telephone and telegram. Hundreds of "name checks" are
requested by local, state and federal agencies. As a result of
these inquiries, and as a result of information furnished
in crime reports, and taken from some fingerprint cards, a
great amount of information is developed in the modus
operandi section which is returned to law enforcement
agencies or filed in such manner that it is quickly available
for future reference. The M. O. and fingerprint techni-
cians are constantly on the "lookout" for any bit of infor-
mation which may assist in identifying an unknown crim-
inal or a wanted person. Every day dozens of photographs
are sent to various police and sheriff's departments in an
attempt to assist them in identifying a criminal who has
been operating in their community. Teletype descriptions
are sent not only in answer to requests received, but also
volunteering information, which is recorded in the files of
the division and which may be of assistance in apprehend-
ing or identifying a criminal.

3. The laboratory, which included only one trained
technician until November 15 of this year, carries on a
variety of work, at the request of law-enforcement offi-
cers. At the present time, we have two trained and experi-
enced criminologists who can assist you in the scientific
examination of evidence. Most of the chemical and physi-
ological tests can be made. General microscopic and mac-
roscopic examinations, tool mark identification, firearms,
ballistics, and document examinations and tests can be
made in the laboratory. Approval has been obtained for
the purchase of much-needed equipment and for improving
present facilities. In a few months, we should be able to
increase our services to the peace officers.
4. The Bureau of Investigation has ten investigators
and special agents who are available to assist in any inves-
tigation, when requested to do so by a law enforcement
agency.
I now wish to point out the following which we are
beginning to do, or plan to do as soon as possible, to im-
prove our service to the peace officers of the State :
1. We have now inaugurated the practice of notifying
all agencies submitting fingerprints when no record is
found in our files, as well as sending them any prior record.
2. The goal which is now established, and which will be
attained just as soon as we secure sufficient clerical per-
sonnel, is to clear all fingerprints through the Bureau of
Identification and have a reply in the mail to the contrib-
uting authority in a maximum time of 48 hours. When we
reach that goal, we shall attempt to shorten the elapsed
time it takes to process a fingerprint after being received
by the division.
3. To provide, as soon as possible, considering present
limitations in personnel and budget restrictions, for a
"skeleton crew" which will be on duty every day from
8 a. m. to 12 midnight.
4. To provide, if possible, a quicker, more complete
and more accurate modus operandi service for identifying
and apprehending wanted persons, through development
and use of machine records (punching and sorting) on
various types of crimes.
5. To provide, if possible, a more extensive coverage
of the State in the recording of lost, stolen, recovered and
pawned property by the use of machine recording, or
otherwise. In this, we must have the cooperation of the
various law-enforcement agencies in reporting accurately
and promptly all lost, stolen, or pawned property in their
jurisdiction.
6. To study the possibilities of a single fingerprint file
in the state division. Only a start has been made in this
direction and very few latent prints are received.
7. To make available to the law-enforcement officers of
the state, wherever it is possible to do so, the facilities and
the personnel of the division for the purpose of cooper-
ating in any training; of assisting in any investigation they
desire; and make any laboratory examinations.
In closing, I again repeat that it is my desire and the
desire of Judge Kenny that the Division of Criminal
Identification and Investigation be at your service at all
times. If you think we may be able to help you, call upon
us. If we cannot do the job in the division, or furnish the
information you wish, we will try and find someone else
who may be able to help you or who is in a position to
supply the necessary information. Now, I am finished —
will you tell me what you want us to do?

Police Wife Gets High Award
January, 1946
Seventeen of our people received the coveted Civilian
Meritorious Service Award at yard-wide rally held during
the noon period on December 6. Presented by Captain E.
P. Kransfelder, these Civilian Meritorious Serv,'ice Awards
are established in Washington by the Navy Department
to honor employees who have through continuous, out-
standing and wholehearted effort proved themselves as
worthy of such distinction.
On the recommendation of the respective Shop Master
or Division Supervisor and the Meritorious Civilian Serv-
ice Award Board, the Commander of the San Francisco
Naval Shipyard, San Francisco, approved the granting of
the United States Navy Meritorious Civilian Service
Award to fifteen men and two women. The two women
were Mrs. Margaret S. Lindenau, personnel assistant of
the industrial relations division, and Miss Alice Campbell
of Shop ^6 tool room. These two arc but a mighty few
who have been so signally honored in these United States.
Mrs. Lindenau is the wife of Sergeant Ernest H. Lind-
enau of San Francisco's Traffic Bureau. The Sergeant
Lindenau's and two sons, Ernest and George, were present
when the awards were made, and it was an event in the 20
years of wedded life of the Sergeant and his wife.
Those with whom she works will tell you she has done
a splendid job in her present post and she is very popular
with all with whom she comes in contact.
Following is the letter received by Mrs. Lindenau from
the commanding officer of the U. S. Naval Drydocks,
Hunters Point :
"It is with pleasure that I have approved the recommen-
dation of your supervisor and the Civilian Service Award

"Flying Squadrons" Click
The "flying squadrons," made up of experienced police
officers of the San Francisco Police Department, and cre-
ated by Chief Charles W. Dullea and Captain of Inspec-
tors Bernard J. McDonald last month, have carved out a
name for their membership during the first months of
its existence.
Murders, aggravated assaults, grand theft, simple as-
sault, sex offenses and burglaries showed a decrease over
the October record.
This 24-hour a day coverage of San Francisco by three
squadrons headed by Inspectors George Page, George
Dyer and John O'Keefe, and under the direction of Ser-
geant Walter Francis, have forced a lot of the would-be
easy winner to shake the dust of San Francisco off their
hoofs. It's quite discouraging to this class gent to have a
carload of officers who know all the answers and how to
act under all circumstances, to suddenly appear at what
the aforesaid easy winner thought was a secure place to
foregather.
Working out of the General Works Detail of which
Inspector Frank Lucey is in charge, these squadrons cruise
the city in well armed, two-way radio equipped cars, and
give particular attention to the sections of the city where
crime appears to be on the uprise.

Peninsula Police Association's
Officers for 1946
The Peninsula Police Officers' Association formally in-
stalled their corps of officers for 1946 at a luncheon held
in Kelly's Place, on El Camino Real, Redwood City, Janu-
ary 17.
With a big turnout, including many returned veterans
of the late war, who are now back in their old jobs with
various Peninsula Police Departments, the following were
installed by Lieutenant Lawrence Furio of Burlingame,
the retiring President.
President — Chief Robert O'rBien, San Mateo.
First Vice-President — Sergeant Cole Stafford, Red-
wood City.
Second Vice-President — Sergeant Russell Cunningham,
Atherton.
Secretary — Captain John J, Hartnett, Burlingame.
Treasurer — Officer Roy Hubbard.
Sergeant-at-arms — Chief Edward Wheeler, San Carlos.
Chief Jack Theuer, who has served as treasurer of the
Association for over 16 years felt his duties as Chief of
Burlingame would not allow him to give the attention to
the office of Treasurer that he has given it ever since he
took over the job, so Officer Roy Howard was elected to
fill his place.
Chief Theuer was the first president of the Association,
being selected to that office back in 1927, and became
treasurer after his term ended in 1928.
Kelly's Place went all out to give the members a fine
luncheon and that alone was well worth attending.

SACRAMENTO'S POLICE HISTORY
(Continued from Page 9)
He had accumulated a $100,000 fortune and now spent
the sunset of his life tending his valuable orchard island.
But those three shots had meant Tullis" life, and the
next morning when his body was found it had three
bullet holes through the back.
It was then the river trip of the two silent boatmen
became of paramount interests to officers. Tullis" houseboy
told officers of the two strange boat men; how they had
docked at Tullis' private wharf shortly after 6 p. m. and
had inquired for the capitalist.
"I told them he was in the orchard, then later I heard
the shots," the Chinese boy told investigators in his pidgin
English, but it isn't recorded why he did not start an
inquiry after his employer failed to return for his 7 p. m.
dinner.
With the discovery of Tullis' body the ne.xt morning,
the most intensive police search in the history of the city
up until that time was launched. Police found many wit-
nesses who had seen the silent pair row down the river,
but no one could identify them.
But as numerically feeble as the small force was, it
continued its diligent plugging for clues, and their efforts
paid off.
On August 1 2 , just 1 1 days after the mystery was tossed
into their laps, one of the officers, making a thorough
search along the river on the theory that the rowboat
might have been abandoned, made what he believed might
be a significant discovery. It was a piece of lumber cut
to a length that might have been part of a boat. It was
floating in the water near Clarksville, and on its side was
the notation "64 feet." For a long time the investigators

stared at those numbers.
"That's just about the number of feet of lumber needed
to build a boat Hke our mystery boat," dedueed one of the
polieemen, who added that they now had a long cheeking
job to do.
And he wasn't wrong. Sacramento was rapidly ex-
panding and lumber companies were numerous, but the
next day when they walked into the yard of Walton &?
Company at 12th and J Streets, they hit pay dirt.
"Sure, I wrote those figures," J. B. Lusk, a lumber
salesman told them when the officers interrogated him.
"I sold it to Edward Anderson on July 30, who ordered
it delivered to the home of Tracy Dye, public adminis-
trator, who lives near 21st and J."
That was strange, thought the officers. Dye was a public
official and a prospierous saloon owner and such a tie-up
didn't make sense, so they decided to locate this mystery
Anderson first.
Anderson, they learned, had arrived in town with the
old Forepaugh Circus. Investigation showed he hadn't done
a great deal in Sacramento since his arrival, so they
nabbed him on a vag charge, faced him with Tullis' house-
boy, who immediately identified him as one of the boatmen
who had called at Grand Island the night of the slaying.
Identified by others who had seen the boatmen, Ander-
son broke down and confessed and named Public Ad-
ministrator Dye as instigator of the plot.
He told the officers that his boat partner was Tom
Lawton, and then unfolded a plan of wholesale murder
never heard of up until then.
Dye, they said, as Public Administrator, drew a per-
centage on the estates of deceased persons who died in-
testate.
They had picked a list of SS leading and wealthy Sac-
ramentans whom they planned to dispose of so that through
Dye's office they could amass a fortune.
Dye was arrested on August 14, and surprisingly, im-
mediately confessed.
Dye and Anderson died on the gallows on May 29,
1879, Dye collapsing just before the trap was sprung.
Lawton escaped and never was captured.
A little piece of board, a number and a word proved
the tiny clue that "broke" the most ambitious murder orgy
ever planned in the West.

MATT CARBERRY NEW PRESIDENT
JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Matthew C. Carberry, administrative assistant to the
City and County Assessor, Russell L. Wolden, has been
elected president of the San Francisco Junior Chamber
of Commerce to serve during 1946. Carberry succeeds Bel-
ford G. Brown, who recently was elected to the board of
directors of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce.
Although only 34, Carberry has a long record of com-
munity service to his credit. During 1944 he was chairman
of the Safety and Transportation Committee of the Junior
Chamber and in 194^ was a member of the board of direc-
tors of the Junior Chamber. A native San Franciscan, and
a graduate of the University of San Francisco, Class of
193?, he served for ten years on the San Francisco police
force, assigned to headquarters. He acted as president of
the Police Officers' Association for two years and president
and secretary of the Widow and Orphans' Aid Associa-
tion, besides serving as chairman of the four legislative
committees for the police department, particularly for
retirement pension legislation. He has been in his present
position with the assessor since April of 1945. Carberry
is married to the former Miss Stella Pisani. They have

whose appearances throughout the countr>', especially in
the West Coast area, is provoking bitter opposition on the
part of certain groups. These opposing groups seek to pre-
vent Smith from obtaining a hall in which to hold his
meeting and when they are unsuccessful in this endeavor
they resort to mass picketing and packing the meeting with
their sympathizers who indulge in cat calls and noisy dem-
onstrations in an effort to disrupt the meeting.
Regardless of the character of the persons who compose
a picket line, they are all subject to the law and they must
observe the legal standards set up by the police and permit
free access to and from the picketed premises by persons
desiring to enter and leave. As long as the speaker stays
within the bounds of legitimate controversy he is entitled
to be unmolested and any person who wilfully and un-
lawfully attempts to break up the meeting should be
arrested and removed from the scene.
Law enforcement administrators must recognize that
various groups are springing up throughout the country
and the doctrines which they advocate are highly contro-
versial and opposed to what is considered by some groups
for the best interests of the country. There is plenty of
law on the subject as to what discussions come within the
bounds of free speech and the police official in command
at the scene of such meetings should insist that all persons
conduct themselves in a lawful manner or they will be
subject to arrest.

Menace of Social Diseases
By Attorney-Gener_\l Robert W. Kenny
Outlining the growing menace of venereal diseases and
their alarming increase in California, Attorney General
Robert W. Kenny has just released a 128-page manual,
"Combating Venereal Disease — Laws and Procedures."
Stating that "morality cannot be achieved by legisla-
tion", Kenny outlines in the booklet a plan for a complete
attack on venereal diseases by all law enforcement agen-
cies. "The annual cost of these diseases is more than
the entire sum expended for the construction of highways
in the continental United States annually." Among the
chief points he makes in the manual are:
That California law as it now stands it fully adequate
to attack the problem. He stated that California's failure
to act vigorously upon existing legislation and sound court
decisions had cost the taxpayers millions of dollars, and
the war effort has been seriously retarded.
That under existing law, it is mandatory upon health
authorities to quarantine and treat any person suspected
of having a venereal disease. He advocated that the quar-
antine procedure be applied to men as well as women.
"If this is done," he said, "the falling off of business
would result in an unprecedented decrease in prostitution,
promiscuity and the contributing to the delinquency of
juveniles."
"A person who has a venereal disease is a sick person;
he should be treated as a sick person temporarily danger-
ous to the public," Kenny declared.
"This failure to quarantine, and above all, the failure
to treat the patient by hospitalization, is one of the pri-
mary reasons for the continuation of this 'third great
plague"."
Kenny pointed out the danger of the court practice of
giving a prostitute a light fine and no jail sentence or a
suspended jail sentence. He described this as the "revolv-
ing door"' plan.
The Attorney General gave his endorsement to the es-
tablishment of quarantine hospitals as rapid treatment
centers. Seattle and San Diego, he said, were two note-
worth}' cities having such control centers for the treat-
ment of venereal diseases. He stated that it was a too
optimistic forecast that the sulpha drugs and pencillin
treatment would eradicate venereal diseases. "This tough
little germ has built up a resistance to the sulpha and
penicillin treatments that has astounded many eminent au-
thorities."
He advocated a drastic enforcement of law, closing all
houses of prostitution.
"Enlightened public opinion does not go back to the
horse and buggy thinking of a decade or so ago when
the problem of prostitution was dismissed if the prostitutes
were kept across the railroad tracks. No matter where
they are they will always spread the demoraliing di-
seases.
"It is a known fact that the average prostitute will
accommodate from 20 to 30 men a day, sometimes more.
From this it can be visualized what a wholesale source of
infection she becomes to her customers."
Next to the prostitute, the promiscuous girl is the
greatest carrier of venereal diseases and venereal diseases
have become alarmingly prevalent in the young 'teen age
girl.
He said that the following four groups have a direct

responsibility in improving the enforcement and abolishing
the bar or tavern as a place of procurement:
a. The alcoholic beverage industry.
b. The State Board of Equalization.
c. Peace officers.
d. State and local health departments.
Under existing law, he said ample means existed for
closing any offending tavern or bar.
"Health officers are law enforcement officers. The ve-
nereal disease control program will fail unless the health
officers assume and discharge their mandatory duties as
law enforcement officers under the health laws."
That a more effective policy of cooperation than exists
at the present time could be worked out between the
military and civilian authorities. He advocated both the
Army and Navy should release their weekly reports of
venereal infections, to the public. "Certainly military
policy in cooperating with civilian authorities would ac-
quaint the lay citizen of the danger; arouse him to action
and help reduce the number of military infections."
While the book is primarily for distribution to law
enforcement officers throughout the state, health officers,
judges, legislators, social welfare workers; copies will be
sent to those addressing their communications to Robert
W. Kenny, Attorney General, State Building, San Fran-
cisco. The book, which contains many charts and statis-
tical data, was printed by the State Printing Office.
61 Policemen Pensioned Since July 1

themselves in a fine manner.

POLICE AND PEACE OFFICERS' JOURNAL
January, 1946
Taking over 200 experienced men out of less than 1300,
as was the case in San Francisco, the executives of the
PoHcc Department were faced with the problem of keeping
the city law abiding with the greatly reduced force. Of
course the regulars were fortunate in having the Auxil-
iar>' Police to step in and render valuable assistance. The
record of our Police Department for the past four years
will ever remain a bright sf)ot in the great history of the
organization, and a lasting tribute to the loyalty, clear
thinking and achievements of our Police Commission,
Chief Dullea, Deputy Chief Riordan, the heads of his
various bureaus, the district captains and the rank and
file of the curtailed force.
Among those returning this month was Colonel Edward
Penaat, who climbed to the highest rank of any San Fran-
cisco Police Officer during his more than four years in
the Army. He has been assigned to the Homicide Detail in
the Bureau of Inspectors, and will be a valuable assistant
to Inspector Alvin Corrasa, Inspectors Frank Ahern and
Marty Lee.
Inspector William Merrick is back and reentered the
Bureau of Inspectors with the Burglary Detail. Possessing
a master's license to sail all the seas of the world, he joined
the Navy and came out a Captain.

JOHN CURLEY IN NEW CITY JOB
John F. Curley, until 1942 a member of the San Fran-
cisco Police Department, was last month appointed by
Utilities Manager Turner to head a newly organized Bu-
reau of Accident Prevention, established by the utilities
director to handle accidents for the whole of the depart-
ment under Turner, but particularly to curbing accidents
on the Municipal Street Railway.
The new bureau director has a nation-wide reputation
as a safety expert, and his selection will go a long way
in curbing the high accident rate in this city, especially
on the street railway lines.
Director Curley is a graduate from the University of
San Francisco and shortly after he graduated from that
institution he joined the San Francisco Police Depart-
ment. He centered on traffic, and made an intensive study
of that subject, and was one of the first members of the
SFPD to be selected to take the traffic course at North-
western University.
So highly did his superior officers think of his work that
they gave him a big boost when he was prevailed upon by
the International Association of Chiefs of Police as their
regional safety director for the eleven western states.
During the three years he was engaged in this line of
work he carried on a most effective campaign for traffic
safety. He is a deep student and has the ability to present
his deductions intelligently to any kind of an audience. He
has built up a big following among the peace officers of
California, for he has been called upon numerous times

YOUR SHARE OF
30 MILLION DOLLARS
In order to improve service to
you, our customers, P. G. and E. is
spending in 1946, thirty million dol-
lars— an investment of about ^8.57
for every person in the territory we
serve.
This money will be spent to in-
crease the capacity of our electric
and gas systems throughout the ter-
ritory, including the extension of
rural lines to bring low-cost elec-
tricity to 10,000 new users.
It is easy to see that such an ex-
penditure will create thousands of
new jobs and will benefit merchants,
farmers and many industries in the
forty-six counties where P. G. and E.
operates. And this is no temporary
benefit. For it has always been our
policy to build ahead so as to be
ready when heavier demands are
placed upon us. Present plans call
for annual expenditures of equal
amount for each of the years fol-
lowing 1946.
Any way you look at it, this means
good business . . . more jobs . . . and
a truly progressive Northern Cali-
fornia.

Chief Dulled in 7th Year
B\ Opie L. Warner
On February 16th, Chief Charles W. Dullea eom-
mcnced his seventh year as head of the San Franeiseo Po-
Uee Department, a poHee department that has come, with
flying colors, out of the maelstrom of local, state, national
and international upheavals caused hy World War II.
Today we find Chief Dullea heartily greeting the two
hundred odd of his erstwhile men-in-blue who are filtering
in from far flung war fronts to again take their place
amongst The City's Finest — the San Francisco Police De-
partment,
The Chief saw the flower of the Department enter the
armed forces. Daily he bade them adieu and assured them
a hearty welcome to department ranks when they had
done their part in writing finis to World War II. Their
leaving left him a man's size problem. But Chief Dullea
is: first, last, and all the time a man of action. This recalls
an incident :
The late Mayor Rolf, in September 1929, reached into
the Police Department and appointed Captain Duncan
Matheson, who was in charge of the Bureau of Inspectors,
City Treasurer. The present Chief was then a captain in
the Inspectors' Bureau and was appointed to fill Captain
Matheson's vacancy. In his City Hall job, speaking of the
man who had taken his place. Treasurer Matheson said, in
his own decisive manner: "In my time I have had a chance
to observe many men, but, of those I worked either for
or with, Charles Dullea is the most consistently competent
man I ever knew."
That was sixteen years ago. Captain Dullea took over
where Captain Matheson left off. He personally knew
every member of the Inspectors' Bureau, hence he was able
to divide and subdivide them so as to get the maximum of
eificiency.
During those years, following War I, crime was ram-
pant. The Capone type of criminal waxed wealthy and
arrogant — the law of the land seemed in the discard.
An Inspectors' Bureau is really and truly the pulse of
a police department. The man who pounds a beat can do
little indeed against money-backed gangsterism.
Captain Dullea knew his inspectors and they knew his
attitude towards people of the Capone ilk. That is how
San Francisco was denied the luxury of marvelling at the
funerals aiforded martyred gangsters in eastern and mid-
west cities. Yes, the pulse of the San Francisco Police De-
partment was one hundred per cent perfect in the gangster
era.
During the War II period San Francisco was an out-
standing world city — a hive of war activities, of a magni-
tude unbelievable to those not on the scene. We glance
over each year's record of crime for our city and find no
startling increase in crimes of violence, notwithstanding
the teeming multitudes, both civil and military, within oui
gates.
There are two outstanding reasons for this normal crime
condition prevailing here against mighty odds: First —
Perfect understanding and close cooperation with local,
state and Federal agencies, and, second — Organizing, train-
ing and supervising the San Francisco Auxiliary Police.
Chief Dullea kept in constant contact with Army and
Navy officials, thus troubles arising from groupings of im-
mense numbers of men in uniform were kept at a mini-
mum, and Chief Dullea received the highest official praise
from the heads of the armed forces.
The Auxiliary Police proved a prime factor in main-
taining law and order during a period when San Fran-
cisco was increasing its population at the rate of over 1000
persons per week. They truly represented San Francisco's
best citizens, and call here for a little memorandum:
The auxiliary police, organized in January 1942, as a
unit of the Civilian Defense Corps, continued its splendid
service to the community.
As the threat of enemy attack on the Pacific Coast
gradually diminished, the auxiliary police knitted itself
more closely to the regular department in the performance
of routine police duty. To facilitate the co-ordination of
the activities of the auxiliary and the regular department,
twelve members of the Police Department were assigned
to reorganize the duties of the auxiliary to include all work
normally performed by the regular department.
The total enrolled strength is approximately 1,800, of
whom about 800 are definitely active. These 800 men com-
prise what is termed the "active auxiliary," the remaining
Page 4
POLICE AND PEACE OFFICERS" JOURNAL
February, 1946
1,000 being termed the "reserves." This reserve body of
men is being kept on the rolls as a potential source of
additional manpower if the need should ever arise. The
Department is reluctant to drop these reserve men due to
their having been well trained at the time of their entry
and, no doubt, they would prove very valuable if needed.
San Francisco is, indeed, fortunate in having, at its
disposal, the services of the auxiliary police. The City and
the Police Department owe this splendid body of patriotic
Americans a great debt.
Since the end of the war there have been three outstand'
ing events calling for the utmost in policing: The first
President Truman, was not halted for a second over the
miles the parade traversed.
The President was given the maximum of attention by
the Police Department on the occasion when he left the
hotel to appear before the UNO representatives, and when
he returned to his hotel, as well as in the escort afforded
on his departure from this city to Hamilton Field where
he took his plane for a quick flight East. No 16"^ than the
President declared it was one of the finest examples of
police arrangements he had ever seen, and he added: "I
have seen many such events."
On General Wainwright's return the Police repeated

President Truman near the end of that gathering, and the
return of General Jonathan Wainwright from years of im-
prisonment in Japanese occupied territory.
Of the first Chief DuUea and the members of the Po-
lice Department under his command conducted themselves
in such a manner that they drew great praise from dele-
gates attending the conference for the fine police protec-
tion offered, the splendid appearance, and the ever-ready
willingness of the members to see that those drawn here by
this great historic event were given every consideration
and courtesy.
On the occasion of President Truman's visit it was an
inspiring sight to see how well the line of March from the
Golden Gate Bridge to the Fairmont hotel was kept clear,
so that the great cavalcade of automobiles bearing the
President, his party, newspaper correspondents and local
citizens taking part in the first welcome to this city of
the splendid arrangements that attended the visit of Presi-
dent Truman.
Since 1929, when, as Captain of Inspectors, our Chief
began attending both state and national police conven-
tions, his thorough understanding of police administra-
tion and his impelling personality have brought him to the
forefront as an outstanding police administrative officer in
the nation. From Governor Earl Warren to the latest
appointed constable in this great state Chief Duilea is
clas.sed as the top law enforcement executive. Similarly
his standing is grade A with the F. B. I. people, John
Edgar Hoover being his steady booster. Duncan Matheson
was evidently one hundred per cent correct on that "con-
sistently competent" description of our chief.
In checking over his accomplishments of the past six
years in the department in addition to his coordination
efforts and his institution of the Auxiliary Police, Chief

Police Commission Starts 3rd Year
By the Editor
Police Commissioners Jerd Sullivan, J. Wesley Howell
and E. L. Turkington have completed their second year on
the job Mayor Roger D. Lapham appointed them to when
he took over the duties as San Francisco's chief executive.
A year ago we pointed out the constructive things this
trio of business men had accomplished during their first
12 months as commissioner members of the Police De-
partment, which, of course, reflects to the benefit of the
people who make up our population, now crowding the
million mark.
The past year this Board has continued its splendid
work, which means better police protection. At the same
time it has seen to it that the 1300 men who make up our
lav enforcement personnel are given due consideration.
Most prominent on the achievements of 1945 was get-
ting a raise in pay for every member of the Department
by a vote of the people. It was through the intelligent
sponsorship of the three commissioners, backed by Mayor
Lapham, that a proper amendment to the Charter was
drawn up, tied in with increase of pay for the members
of the Fire Department. Because of their well known suc-
cess in the various callings they have long been identified
with the Commissioners were able to get the support and
backing of important business interests. This, with the
endorsement of all labor organizations, civic, fraternal and
other associations, the amendment went over by a huge
majority.
Commissioners Sullivan, Howell and Turkington took
time off from their regular duties and pitched in to see
that the pay raise was granted by the voters.
They have brought into their work as public officials —
with but mighty small pay — the same energy, intelligence
and understanding that single them out as leaders in the
city's business life.
Their first concern is the public, and they have devoted
much time, outside that devoted to their weekly meetings
each Monday night, to plan, study and make changes to
the end that the members of the Police Department would
give the maximum in protectiva services to the people of
this city.
The record indicates more strongly than anything else,
that employes, either public or private, can give their best
efforts only if they are well paid and have working condi-
tions and provisions for their old age, after honorable
service, are properly taken care of. This trio of commis-
sioners sure has gone all out to do their share in getting
wage increases, better pensions, overtime pay and pay for
holidays worked.
By doing these things they will perpetuate the splendid
traditions of the San Francisco Police Department, for the
members will continue to make this metropolis a safe
place to live in.
They have done many other things that have serwd to
improve the Department:
They have reorganized the Traffic Bureau, installing
Deputy Chief Michael Riordan in over-all charge, with
Lieutenant Ralph Olstad as Captain of the Bureau.
They have had the old Harbor station transformed into
a stock room, where police supplies are handled.
They have backed the improvement of the Bureau of
Identification, which, under the direction of Criminologist
Francis X. Latulipe, is one of the best in this country.
They have been fair in cases where a police officer has
been brought before them on charges ,and the punishment
meted out on those found guilty has been rendered in a
humane manner. In the old days there were Police Com-
missions who threw the books away on any member so
unfortunate as to be brought before them on any charge,
no matter how trivial. The present Commission has acted
in a manner that fitted the punishment to the offense
charged when a guilty verdict was decided.
The Commission is on record for increasing the per-
sonnel to as near the charter requirement of one patrolman
for each 500 population, as is possible. They have voted
to have the Mayor include in his 1946 budget provision
for increasing the present number of men and women in
the Department by 260.
Under the Charter the city could have 1600 patrolmen;
now there are but a few over 900. The total strength of
the force is around 1300, with nearly two-thirds of those
who entered the armed forces — 205 — returned to duty.
There will be no more limited tenure appointments.
It must be gratifying to Commissioners Sullivan, Howell
and Turkington to realize how the Department, over
which they preside, has, during the two years they have
been in office, kept crime at so low a level. No crime wave
that was worthy of such a designation; no big robberies.
Yes, there have been robberies; strongarm, purse snatching,
drunk rolling, but the records will show the loss entailed
by these depredations was mighty insignificant in com-
parison to other cities where big jobs make the first pages.
They must feel well repaid for their public spirited
efforts as commissioners to note the records of irrests.
the convictions and other evidence of the activities for tlie
public good, during their incumbency. The annual report
of the Bureau of Identification appearing in this issue of
the Police and Peace Officers' Journal will give ample
evidence of how active the members of the Department
have been these past two years.
This commission has two more years to go. and we will
see many more innovations in those two years, that will
make the Police Department bigger and better.

Discovery of Gold in California
(This article was written for our Police Journal b_v the late Officer Peter "Pete" Fanning, author of a very popular
publication covering early crimes m California. — Editor.)
To James Wilson Marshall the world is indebted
for a discovery which started the astonishing prosperity
of California, and formed an epoch in modern history.
The foundation of California's wealth was laid hy his in-
telligence and sagacity. His name will live long in history.
In less than three years after he discovered gold, a dis-
cover)' that changed a portion of this state from a wilder-
ncs.<; to a center of frenzied activity, California was ad-
mitted into the sisterhood of states — in the year 1850.
Since that time Admission Day has each year taken on a
more impressive importance, and each year sees the sons
and daughters of the Golden West joining together to
make the celebration more elaborate.
Marshall was horn in a small New Jersey town, and
after receiving a plain education, he learned the trade of
a coach and wagon builder. At the age of 20 he felt the
fever for the West. His first jump was to Ft. Leavenworth,
Kansas, where he bought a farm. He, however, suffered
from poor health and his doctor told him he must seek a
change of climate or he would not live. He dspored of
his property and in May, 1844, he joined a train of 100
wagons bound for, at that time, an almost unknown land
— California. The party reached its destination in June
of the following year, and camped at Cache Cr>;ek, about
40 miles from where Sacramento now stands. From that
point the party disbanded, the members going their several
ways. Marshall and a few others went to Sutter Fort,
Sacramento County, where he entered the service of Gen-
eral Sufter. About a year later, and after Marshall had
begun life in the stock business, on a farm two leagues in
area, the Mexicans made an attempt to prevent a body of
Americans from entering California. This led to the Bear
Flag War, in which General Sutter and Marshall set out
with others to defend their countrymen
Fighting was frequent and severe. Marshall took part
in all the engagements of the campaign, which resulted in
a treaty signed in 1847 recognizing the independence of
California.
Marshall then procured his discharge from the army
and returned to Sutter Fort. Upon his arrival he discovered
that most of his cattle had disappeared during his absence.
He therefore gave up his farm, and, backed by General
Sutter, went into the lumber business at Colombo, Ama-
dor County. Work was begun on the mill in August, 1847.
On January 18, 1848, Marshall was superintending the
building of the mill race. After shutting off the water at
the head of the race he walked down the ditch to see what
sand and gravel had been removed the previous night. He
strolled to the lower end of the race and stood looking
down at the mass of debris. Suddenly his eyes caught the
glitter of .something that lay lodged in a crevice on a riffle
of .soft granite. He stooped and picked up the substance.
It was heavy, of a peculiar color, and different from any-
thing he had seen in the stream before.
He reflected what kind of a mineral the specimen could
be, and finally concluded it was either mica, copper, or
gold. He remembered gold was malleable, so he placed a
nugget on a flat stone and began beating it with another.
The substance did not crack or flake off, and Marshall was
satisfied that he had indeed made an important discovery.
In a few days he collected several ounces of the precious
metal and took them to Sutter Fort.
He told General Sutter of his discovery, but Sutter was
incredulous, and it was only after a chemical test had been
made that the General would admit the mineral was gold.
Great excitement prevailed. The news flew over the
country like wildfire. Those whites who were in California
went into the quest for gold with great energy. There came
a mad rush from the East and the Old World. It was a
furious race for wealth.
In 1849 every sailing vessel and steamer landing at San
Francisco was crowded with adventurers. These knew
gold had first been discovered at Coloma, and most of them
went there. Without inquiry or negotiation they squatted
on Marshall's land, and marked the property off into town
lots and distributed them among themselves. To add to
Marshall's troubles the title to the land he had purchased
prior to his great discovery was questioned and he lost it
all.
The first big lumps of gold found in California created
great excitement among the miners. They began picturing
in imagination masses of gold larger than could be lifted
by a dozen men.
There were stories of men sitting down to starve beside
huge golden boulders, rather than risk leaving their finds
to go in search of travel facilities.
The first nugget of sufficient size to create more than a
local sensation, was found by a young soldier in Steven-
son's regiment. It is related he found it in the Mokelumne
River, while in the act of taking a drink from the stream.
The nugget weighed nearly 2i pounds. The finder hastened
to San Francisco with his prize. The big lump was sent to
New York and placed on exhibition. It produced great
excitement, and was the cau.se of many a man striking out
for California.
The largest mass of gold ever found in California was
dug out at Carson Hill, Calaveras County, in 1854. It
weighed 195 pounds.
On August 18, 1860, W. A. Farish and Harry Warner
tcxjk from the Monumental Quartz mine in Sierra County
a mass of gold and quartz weighing IJ?^ pounds. It was
sold to R. B. Woodward in this city for $21,636.52. It was
exhibited, at Woodward's Garden for some time. When
melted down it yielded gold to the value of $17,654.94.

Trustee Arthur Garratt
Page 7
Among the trustees of the San Francisco PoHce Widows'
and Orphans' Aid Association serving for the current year
is the name of Officer Arthur Garratt. This makes the
22nd year that Officer Garratt has served the Association,
20 of them as Trustee and a year each as Vice President
and President.
His reelection and installation in the important office of
Trustee this year established a record for continuous serv-
ice of any member of the Association since it was estab-
lished over 60 years ago.
Arthur Garratt entered the Police Department on July
1, 192?, and a year later was elected a Trustee, and has
held a trusteeship ever since, with the exception of 19.? I
Officer Arthur G.-\rr.\tt
when he was elected a vice president, and 1932, when he
was promoted to the presidency of the Association.
When he first became a trustee the Aid Association had
less than 1000 members: today it has nearly HOO. The
death benefit then was $1000; now the widow or orphans
of a deceased police officer, who is a member, receive
$3000.
The ball and concert of the year 1924 brought a net of
$25^,000, a record up to that time. Last year the net was
over $69,000.
Officer Garratt has served in but one branch of the Po-
lice Department. Though he was assigned to the old Bush
Street Station when he was sworn in as a police officer,
he never got to answer a roll call there because he was
brought into the office of the late Chief Daniel J. O'Brien
to serve as a plainclothes special duty man. Later he was
transferred to Company K. the Traffic Bureau. While
there he was a member of the Police Quartet that was a
part of the late Sergeant Patrick McGee's troubadours.
who made quite a name for themselves in spreading good
will throughout the city. The quartet was made up of
Officers Claude Avodano. John Kelly, Theodore Andrus
and Garratt. The pianist was Jerome Argenti. The orga-
ni:ation was known as the song birds of the department.
On July 1, 1925, at 5:45 p, m.. Officer Garratt met
with an accident that almost ended his career as a police-
man as well as his life.
He was standing at his post on Montgomery and Post
Street when a truck from Fire Company, answering a
three alarm, came dashing down the street, from New
Montgomery street an underwriters' truck was speeding
to the same fire. Officer Garratt saw a woman and a little
child starting across the street in front of Truck No. 1.
He raced for the two and shoved them out of the path of
the speeding vehicle. But he was unable to escape being
hit by the truck. The front fender caught him and threw
him under the wheels. He was run over by the wheels, and
when picked up he was thought dead. The late Chief
Thomas Murphy stopped his car, took in the situation, and
then had Garratt loaded in the big red car of the Chief
and sped him to the Central Emergency Hospital. It was
found his skull was fractured, he had a broken collar bone
and shoulders. They held out but little hope for his re-
covery. He was removed to San Francisco Hospital, where
for a solid year he was kept in a cast. He finally was dis-
charged and was restored to duty. But because of his heroic
act in saving two people and the long months he spent in
the hospital, the Chief felt he ought to have a job less
hazardous than the one he had so courageously filled.
He was detailed to the Traffic courts, acting as liaison
officer for the Police Department and the municipal courts.
He handles all misdemeanor warrants arising from traffic
violations and keeps a record of all uncontested traffic vio-
lators. He has been on this job now for almost 20 years,
and a more able or a more popular officer could not be
found.
Officer Garratt will be taking his pension one of these
days, and when he leaves the Police Department he will
leave a record that should be an inspiration for any young
officer to emulate — a record for efficient, courageous police
service and for his interest and achievement in the affairs
of the Widows' and Orphans" Aid Association, an orga-
nization that brings such substantial help to the bereaved
families of departed officers of the law.
We've known Officer Garratt ever since he entered the
Police Department and have never heard him utter an un-
kind word about any man, and we have seen him extend
a helping hand to many an unfortunate.

Sacramento's Department Spawned in Most
Glamorous Era of California's History
■111 the Days of Old. the Days of Gold, the Days of '49"
By James Kendrick
(Continued from last month)
In the meantime tragedy had struck directly at the
Department itself.
A fusilade of gunfire at the corner of Seventeenth and
J Streets brought a group of citizens to the spot. It
was 8 p. m. on the night of Decemher 7. 1878. There on
the ground lay Police Corporal Joseph Scott. He had been
riddled with bullets
According to witnesses, four men were seen racing
from the spot.
Scott had been one of the investigators on the Tullis
mystery and immediately rumors spread that the Public
Chief Alexander McAllister
Administrator's gangsters were out to cheat the gallows
by eliminating officers who had figured in the investi-
gation.
They insisted that one George Laurence, who had been
found murdered the previous July 1, a month before
the Tullis crime, had left his money on deposit at Dye's
SaltJon and had been "rubbed out" so that the arch plot-
ters could add it to their coffers. However, this story and
reports that three other murders of wealthy persons had
been the work of Dye and his gang never was proved in
court.
Years later a dying convict purportedly confessed that
Scott had been murdered in a plain holdup attempt.
"We jumped off a train there and swore we would hold
up the first person we met. We didn't know the guy was
a cop until he started shooting," the convict was reported
to have confessed.
Because the city continued its expansion eastward at
such a rapid pace, the city council finally listened to
Chief Matt Karcher, who had been returned to office and
let him raise his personnel to nine men. But it was not
until eight years later that another increase was made, in
1888, under Chief Tim Lee, when six more were added
to give the Department a grand total of fifteen, and this
included the desk sergeant and driver of the first formal
"Black Maria."
Although the Department was now the largest in its
history, it still was not big enough to cope with crime in-
digenous to the city.
The gold rush had passed into limbo, but other natural
causes brought crime into the city.
For one thing Folsom Prison was only a few miles
away and Sacramento was naturally the first destination
of its escaped or discharged inmates.
Then, too, it rapidly was developing into the great
labor hub it is today, the largest west of Chicago.
With this labor army also came the parasites, then, as
today, to prey upon men who worked in mines, forests
and the rapidly-expanding agriculture empire of the Sac-
ramento River Valley.
It still was the horse and buggy days, the day of the
bicycle cop, and they were just as hard pressed to keep one
jump ahead of the criminal element as were those who
were to follow in the days of high powered cars, airplanes
and fast trains.
But the Sacramento Department was soon to see a
metropolitan-like improvement in its force. Oh, no, it
was not to get any more men, but it was to be "shined
up" for the public.
The force was to break out before its constituents re-
splendent in its new and first regulation uniform. That
is, resplendent compared to anything previously worn by
the seventeen men who then composed the Department —
old photographs disclose the new attire consisted of a long
tailed coat with a row of 10 brass buttons down the front
with the conventional six-point star on the left breast.
The coat was beltless and the whole ensemble was topped
off by a "helmet" which was little more than a "bowler"
or modified derby hat.
In a treatise on that period of the department's history
written by Capt. Max P. Fisher, a member of the force,
the Chief's and other departmental salaries of 1890 were
far below the standard set by the first city council, which
allowed the Chief of 1849 a $4,000 year salary, and
$';,000 for the year 18';0.
In 1890 Chief Warren F. Drew was paid SlfO a

month; the police captain $12i ;ind li patrolmen got
$100 a month each.
By that year the limits of the city's borders and the
pressing duties of jail and executive work at the old Front
and I street station had so far exceeded the ratio of the
Department's growth, that it could only "hit the high spots
and pray for the breaks," as one old timer expressed it.
With two men doubling as jailers and desk sergeants,
and one acting as court bailiff, only 12 men were left to
patrol the city. They were divided into two 12-hour shifts,
working seven days a week with a 1 0-day annual vaca-
tion allowance.
There was no patrol wagon and it was left to the
ingenuity of each patrolman to provide "Black Maria"
accommodations.
"We commandeered express wagons, Chinese vege-
table carts, wheelbarrows or anything else we could find to
haul those persons who were unable to walk," Chief
Drew is quoted as saying.
Thugs still ran rampant and were aided by the dark-
ness of the city's thoroughfares.
"We had only dim gas lights at street corners, which
cast but a feeble glow and even this little light was blocked
in its original intention because of the heavy foliage of
the trees, which by that time had grown to mammoth
sizes on all our streets," Chief Drew added.
In fact, the sidewalks were so precarious for the man
late on arriving home that "the middle of the street was
the favorite trail."
In 1890 Beat No. 6 covered more than two-thirds of
Sacramento, from 12th to ?l.st and A to Y streets, an
area of more than 475 square blocks and it was covered
by ONE MAN!
The city's population had far receded from its original
gold rush peak and now boasted a population of 22,300
permanent residents. The-se were the suKstantial citizens
who had built the city and did not include its immense
floating or seasonal labor population.
After bedtime on Beat No. 6, there was not a single
telephone available to the lone patrolman beyond 12th
street.
As if these were not enough obstacles facing a valiant
and struggling Department, the city council offered fur-
ther discouragement in 189.^ by reducing patrolmen's pay
to $90 a month.
But the then Chief. Jack Rogers, succeeded in getting
more men and the city's first patrol wagon, a one-horse
open shay type vehicle.
It was to be Chief Jack Rogers task to throw his entire
small force into battle on the morning of November 16,
189.^ in an attempt to break up one of the hottest of
the many Chinese tong wars fought in the city.
For weeks Chinatown's opposing tongs had been on
the verge of hostilities over the shipment of Chinese slave
girls, priority rights assertedly being the basis of some
disputes; and over the asserted activities of hatchet men of
both factions.
Regardless of the cause, shortly after at Third and I
streets in the heart of Chinatown, a fusilade of shots
broke the quiet of the morning and the battle was on
between the Pong Duck and Suey On tongs. Besides very
type of rifle, shotgun and revolvers, knives were brought
into the fight.
When police tallied up the battle's toll, five hours later,
there were five dead and more than 30 wounded on both
sides.
Murders in Chinatown had been common since the
gold ru.sh, which had brought thousands of Orientals into
the city, but they were more or less scattered until 1896
when five were murdered in a row, for which James
Gray, a negro, was tried, convicted and hanged in Folsom
Prison.
In the first part of 1900 the Department took a sudden
forward surge under the direction of Chief John Sulli-
van, who managed to get patrolmen's pay restored to $100,
his own raised to $175 a month; a two-man detective
force and the office of jail matron created. He got the City
Council to grant permission to enlarge the force and install
the Gamewell Police Call System, far-reaching achieve-
ments considering the handicaps the force had been forced
to overcome during the first 50 years of its existence.
Ten years later City Trustee Ed Carragher laid the
foundatifin for the present Bureau of Criminal Identi-
fication, which has grown to rank with the best in the
country.
But it also was in this year that one of its greatest trage-
dies hit the Department.
P. F. "Pop" Becker was shot to death in an ambush.
Known to virtually every man, woman and child in
the city. Pop Becker was an institution unto himself.
He was known for his own crime prevention work
among juveniles, for his benevolence and charity among
the city's p(x)r. He was known for his sympathetic under-
standing of human problems. But he also was known as
the man with the deadliest trigger finger on the force
when occasion demanded. And to his assassins he proved
this with emphasis.
For two months, two notorious criminals, Riordan and
Smith, had terrorized the city with their depredations.
Late in April, 1910, shortly before midnight. Pop
Becker spotted the men near Front and L streets, and he
started to close in on them.
Becker was forced to pass beneath a street lamp to
reach the men. As he did so, the desperadoes jumped into
bushes lining the sidewalk and opened fire.
Although mortally wounded Pop Becker coolly watched
the flashes of their guns and used these flashes to fix a
target for his own deadly aim.
When other police arrived at the scene they found
Pop Becker dead. But they also found Riordan and Smith
in the spot where they had set their ambush. Rif)rdan was
shot twice through the body and Smith through the left
leg and thigh. Riordan died of his wounds and Smith
later was executed.
To cite the cases of heroism that have marked the
nearly century old history of the Sacramento Depart-
ment would take volumes.

Post War Planning
Address of Chief Charles W. Dullea to the Annual Convention of the Intemdtwnal Association of Chiefs of
Police, Held in Miami Beach, Florida, last month. He was chairm/m of the Committee on Post-War Police Problems
I cannot think of any more important subject which con-
fronts police departments today than that of planning for
the postwar period. Post-war planning is being done by
every industry. Conferences are being held in every com-
munity and people who are vitally concerned with their
own problems are planning for the day when peace will
coroe and the nation will return to its normal pursuits.
There seems to be a unanimity of thought in the minds
of the members of this panel as to what the needs of police
departments are and will be. In this respect police officials
differ from many other post-war planners who are seeking
to peer into the future and guess what conditions will be.
We have the advantage in knowing exactly what prob-
lems law enforcement officers will be confronted with and
we will be charged with gross neglect unless we make
plans to meet the emergency which is sure to come.
It is well for us to take a quick look at the situation
as it exists today in the United States and also to try to
picture what it will be during the time that the country
is returning back to normal peace time pursuits. Viewed
in this light our plans should take form and we should all
strive to carry them out to the best of our abilities.
In discussing post-war police problems, it is difficult to
refrain from yielding to the temptation to stray into other
fields and do a little Monday morning quarterbacking
about subjects of which we have. but little knowledge and
that knowledge gained solely by reading and conversations.
We are well aware of the situation as it exists today.
Wages are the highest known in the history of the world.
Women and children are engaged in labor which was un-
heard of three or four years ago. Children are receiving
wages as high as that which was paid to a man raising a
family a short time ago. Women are receiving wages on
the same scale with the men. Women are engaged in all
classes of employment, from driving taxicabs and trucks
to building ships and working in machine shops and also
as stcamfitters and in the metal trades. We are confronted
with the picture of an abundance of employment and a
scarcity of labor and an inflated wage scale. Industry, in
their desire to recruit labor, have gone throughout the
country and brought unattended juveniles into the indus-
trial areas which have created a tremendous problem of
juvenile delinquency.
Disrespect for law enforcement is growing daily in the
minds of these young persons who are earning high wages
and have no parental restraint on their spending or seek-
ing of pleasure.
The return of women to the domestic pursuits in which
they were engaged prior to the war will present a tremen-
dous problem. A recent survey which was made by one
of the largest labor unions affiliated with the metal trades,
indicated that ?J 4/5 per cent of the women members
indicated a desire to continue in this trade after the war
and another 50 per cent said that they desired to take
courses in refrigeration and pipe welding. Women who
have been in the armed services as Waves, Wacs, Spars
and Marines will be reluctant to return to the more tran-
quil life and duty of raising a family and doing house
work. Women who are driving trucks and taxicabs and
engaged in any of the types of work which were formerly
performed exclusively by men, will be unwilling to relin-
quish the jobs in favor of the returning soldier.
All of this is not conjecture, but it is sure to happen
and it is by viewing this picture frankly and dispassion-
ately that the police administrator can make his plans for
the future. As I said before, it is not going to be attempted
by this panel to formulate plans in any other field except
as it affects police departments, and with the knowledge
of the situation as it will be, we must begin planning
immediately.
Our country will be burdened with paralyzing debts
and legislative bodies will be seeking to red-.xe the expense
of government. The people will cry for relief frrm the tax
burden and police departments v^ill fi:'d thrmre'" c j st
another agency of government, striving "o impro^ c their
ov;n condition.
As this paper is being written, the pre:s and radio are
carrying news of great victories by the Allie- o:i al' frLiits.
All facts point toward victory and a peace that may ome
at any moment. Congress is feverishly preparing post-war
plans and the whole atmosphere is electric with the thought
of peace. Conscious of the importance of the task assigned
to this committee and realizing the responsibilities that will
be placed upon all law enforcement agencies, we are
submitting the following for your consideration.
1. Per.sonnel and Recruitment
The first problem which presents itself to police depart-
ments is one of personnel and recruitment. With 11,500,-
000 men in the armed forces the demobilization of this
vast army is a tremendous problem and when you add to
that operation their absorption into industry, it staggers
the imagination. Be assured of one thing — when peace is
declared the men in the service will be insistent upon
their speedy return to civilian life. It is recommended that
the International Association of Chiefs of Police set up a
Demobilization Committee which would work in close
cooperation with the military agency charged with the
responsibility of demobilization and urge that all police
officers and those on police eligibile lists who are in the
armed services be discharged as quickly as possible and
returned to their assured positions in their respective de-
partments. This pnxredure would permit undermanned
police departments to be strengthened with experienced

Little did Special Police Officer P. J. Kain know what
lie was digging up on the night of Jan. 1 1 when he told
Sergeant Harold Anderson of Central Station that there
was a car parked near 15.1 Maiden Lane that was suspi-
cious. Sergeant Anderson called together a posse of five
officers — Michael Sullivan, William C. Sullivan, Alfred
Hutchinson, Frank Staeglish and Andrew Sullivan, and
then began a search of the tavern at 15? Maiden Lane. He
had instructed the special officer and a couple of his men
to watch over the parked car, an expensive vehicle.
A man came out of the tavern, made for the car, and as
he did so Officer Staeglish told him to halt. The fleeing

man refused to do so and opened fire on the officer as he
leaped into the automobile. Staeglish returned the fire.
More shots v/ere fired before the man could make a
getaway. He was locked up and the Burglary Detail un-
der Inspector James Johnson took over, and what the
members ot that detail uncovered even surprised those
veterans of the Police Department. They found they had
a burglar on their hands who, since he had been released
from San Quentin, carried on his housebreaking in most
every town and city in the Bay area, pulling 119 jobs.
They found he usually went for cash only, and that he
seldom took any loot. He was so avaricious for cash that
he carried off safes, some of them so big that peace offi-
cers interested in their removal are still trying to figure
out how he got away with them.
When Inspector Johnson's boys got through with the
suspect, who was identified as Harold Perry, a San Fran-
cisco native, ,i? years of age, and sent up for burglary
from this city, they had his confession to 69 burglaries
here and burglaries in the following neighboring commu-
nities:
Mill Valley 1, Larkspur 6, San Anselmo 1. Yolando
1. San Rafael 4, Petaluma 6, Santa Rosa 6, Healdsburg 1.
Car of H. Liebcs, used by Perry. Note bullet holes m glass.
Inspectors Herman Woebke and Charles Hennessy han-
dled the interrogation of Perry but every member of the
Burglary Detail had a kick that Perry had been responsible
for, and the following members of the bureau cleared up
a lot of jobs with the arrest of Perry:
Inspectors Harold Jackson, James R. Hunt, Bartholo-
mew Lally, James O^Neill, James Hayes, George Heeg,
John Brady, Edgar Paul.
Perry took a safe on an Oakland job and dumped it in
Lake Temescal. The lake was drained and the safe recov-
ered.
He took another safe on a San Francisco job and
dumped It into the bay, between Piers 9 and 11. but the
bay won't be drained to get that one back.
He got away with a 300-pound safe in San Jose, and it
was later recovered. The officers still don't know how he
made away with it.
Another safe he took down the peninsula was hidden,
according to the prisoner, under a culvert near Palo Alto.
This has not been found as yet.
Perry pleaded guilty to burglary and a 50.i. stolen
a'-ito charge, and to one charge of carrying a gun as an
ex-convict.
Judge William Traverso, before whom he appeared,
sentenced him to 1 to 15 years on e.ich of the first two
charges to run cimcurrently, ,ind 1 to 5 years on the gun

Chiefs ot police from the above mentioned cities were
certainly grateful to the San Francisco police department

no new graduates from our penal institutions will come
forth to emulate Mr. Perry's one-man crime wave.

THE RECONVERSION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT
Address of J. EoaxR Hoover, Director F.B.L, at the Fifty-second Aimual Meeting of the Interruitional Association of
Chiefs of Police, Miami, Fionda, December JO
After even- great war or period of acute national
emergency there has been a recession of moral fortitude.
This one will be no exception. I hope as you do that the
racketeers, the overlords, the desf>eradces and the criminal
scum who characterised the roaring twenties will not
come back to the American scene. I fear, however, that
this is wishful thinking. Once they get a start and find they
can succeed, we shall face ver)- serious trouble.
Crime springs not alone from a state of mind. There
are many factors that must be considered in discussing
crime causation, such as the matter of economics, moral
JuHN £do.\r Hoover
standards, and social conditions. To combat the rising tide
of senous criminality which is sweeping the country-, we
need a revival of old-fashioned discipline and courage.
The abuses and maladministration of our penal systems
which release murderers, sex-cra:ed degenerates, outlaws
and bandits on parole or on "leave of absence" from our
correctional institutions to commit serious crimes against
our citi-ens is constituting again a national disgrace. A
large percentage of the fugitives being sought by law en-
forcement officers throughout the country have been the
recipients of ill-ad\'iscd clemency.
The inefficient and careless manner in which convicted
criminals are guarded in our jails and fxrnal institutions is
shocking and in many cases represents criminal malfeasance
upon the part of those charged with the proper safe-
keeping of these enemies of society. Almost daily we note
hardened criminals escaping from confinement to endanger
the lives of our citizens. The taxpayer has every right to
demand that convicted criminals be guarded by men of
high character, integrity and intelligence. Law enforce-
ment agencies exist for but one purpose, namely, the pro-
tection of society. We, of law enforcement must be alert
to take advantage of every opportunity to focus
the spotlight of public opinion upon the evil con-
ditions which presently exist. In this, we must enlist the
aid of a s>Tnpathetic press and a civic-spirited screen and
radio.
The responsibilities of law enforcement arc ever broad-
ening. Not only must we marshal our forces on the front
of crime detection and apprehension — ^but there is an ever
broadening front dominated by the subverter and pur-
veyor of alien isms who seek to transform the America we
know and love to a land of class struggle. The fight against
Fascism continues. The shooting war has stopped, but
these espousers of dictatorships still exist and they have
been too well entrenched to become converts to Democracy
overnight. The e\-idenccs ot Fascist survival are too plain
to ignore.
To the Fascist foe must be added another, the Ameri-
can Communist. These panderers of diabolic distrust al-
ready are concentrating their efforts to confuse and divide
by appK-ing the Fascist smear to progressive police depart-
ments, the FBI and other American institutions to conceal
their own sinister purposes.
The Godless, truthless way of life tliat Amcric:ui Com-
munists would force on America can mean only tyranny
and oppression if they succeed. They are agiinst tl c liber y
which is America — they are for the license of their o; n.
When they raise their false cry of unity, remember there
can be no unit)' with the enemies of our way of life who
are attempting to undermine our democratic institutions.
The Fascist -minded tyrant whom we conquered on the
battlefields is no different from the American Communistic
corruptionist who now uses the tncks of the confidence
man until his forces are sufficiently strong to rise with arms
in revolt
America cannot exist half democratic and half Com-
munist or Fascist. If we want to improve upon our Ameri-
can form of government we will do it in our own way,
in our own time and with our own blueprint. Therefore,
it behooves us to be on guard for an enemy that bra;enly
and openly has advocated the corruption of America, that
spends sleepless nights working one propaganda line after
another, that poses behind a dozen fronts, that squirms and
Uvists his way into those great American forces, such as
the church, schools, and the ranks of labor.
As I speak to you today, the big guns of the Communist
Party in the United States are aimed at returning vet-
erans, openly boasting that here is a new front behind
which they can hide. They have selected a worthy foe.
for the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign
Wars are too experienced in fighting America."s enemies
to be hoodwinked by these Communist swindlers.

POLICE AND IT: ACE CFFICERS' JOURNAL
Albany*s Police Department
Page 13
AlKmy, the little Alameda county city that abuts Bcrkc'
Icy Dii the north, has its one and one-fourths square miles
area populated hy over 18,000 people. The compact little
city has no industrial plants, no teeming manufacturing
center nor any husy railroad yards or stations, San Pablo
Avenue, which runs from Oakland, through Berkeley, and
onto the outer limits of Richmond, splits the town of
Albany. Yet Albany gives homes to some 14,000 perma-
nent residents who seek their livelihood for the most part
in adjacent communities, and some 4000 newcomers,
drawn here by the upsurge in manpower requirements
engendered by the late war, when thousands upon thou-
Chief STANLtv C. Williams
sands of men and women were needed to man the war
plants of the Bay Area.
You will find, if you look up the records of Albany,
that it is, has been throughout the war, and was before
the great conflict, a very law abiding little municipality.
The police force is made up of 12 civil service police
officers, a woman clerk, six men appointed through and
paid for by the Federal housing act, who give a 24-hour
patrol of the housing project that gives homes to 4000
people, and a chief.
Albany's Chief of Police is Stanley C. Williams, and
he is one of only two Chiefs of Police in Northern Califor-
nia who are elected by the people — the other is San Rafael.
Chief Williams, who joined the Police Department on
May 1, 1924, is a native of Jackson, Amador County, but
with his parents he moved to Albany in 190^. He got his
education in Albany schools, and after graduating went to
work for the Pacific Gas and Electric Company. He en-
listed in War I as an electrician in the Navy and saw
service throughout that conflict. Returning to civilian life
he entered the employ of the Hill Lumber Company, of
his adopted town, and was employed there when he joined
the Police Department.
When he became a member of the force, Albany had a
Police Department of four men and the Chief, who was
John Gavinovich.
In 194.^, when the then Chief, Loyd Jester, entered the
armed forces, the then Sergeant Williams was elevated to
the top position, and he has served almost three years in
a manner that has won him the admiration of the people
he has so well guarded, and the respect of peace officers
of neighboring towns.
The Police Department is housed in one of the neatest
and best arranged headquarters this writer has ever seen
in any police department. Located at 805 San Pablo Ave-
nue, you would never know it was a public building, its
white stuccoed architecture looking more like an attrac-
tive bungalow in a well planned subdivision.
When the building was erected no provisions were made
for a jail. The funds for public improvements were pretty
low, and it would ke some time before enough money
would be available to correct this omission. However, Chief
Williams was set on having a jail equipped for men and
a section for women. He got $2000 from the city council,
and then got the Chief of the Fire Department, which is
ne.xt door to the Police headquarters, to join in doing the
work of building the jail. An experienced carpenter was
employed to oversee the work, and the jail, located in the
rear of the police station, is a secure, well arranged, well
ventilated place of detention as one will find an>'where.
Over $8000 was saved by this public spirited act.
The lack of funds for extra public needs also brought
about an incident that shows how well the Police Depart-
ment under Chief Williams is entrenched in the hearts of
the business men of the city.
Three burglars, George and John Wells and Carl Jenk-
ins, were spotted in a speeding automobile by Officers
William Hydie and Robert Turley. The two officers took
after the speeding car, and as the police car was overtak-
ing it the occupants opened fire. There was a running
battle, in which the fleeing men fired over 40 rounds.
The chase ended when the speeding car turned over.
The officers found that the car had 80 cases of whiskey,
taken in a nearby store burglary.
One of the men was captured at the scene of the wreck,
but it took a couple of days more for the other two to be
captured. They were, and all three went to San Quentin.
George Wells figured later in a sensational San Quentin
break, in which he fashioned a bomb.
The business men felt that if the Depa'tment hiid had
two-way radio the pursuing officers would have been able
to summon help and the bandits would have been captured
in short order.
The city council said the city did not have the $1^00
necessary to equip any cars, so the business men took the
matter into their own hands. In two days they had the
amount gladly subscribed by those public spirited citizens
who realized the necessity of having the latest in every-

SFPD Bureau of Identification Annual Report
The Bureau of Identification of the San Francisco Po-
lice Department handled more business during the year of
1945 than it has ever handled in any one year since Lieu-
tenant Timothy J. Burke, its head, has been identified with
this important branch of the Department over 22 years.
That means it established a one-year record for its entire
history, for before the then Officer Tim Burke was assigned
to the Bureau over a score of years ago, its annual reports
Lieutenant Timothy Burke
showed far less the number of cases that have passed
through the local Bureau of Identification,
Lieutenant Burke, who has been head of the Bureau
for the past four years, now has a force of ten police offi-
cers and ten clerks assigned to assist him in taking care
of the great volume of business that has leaped to higher
figures since the start of the late War II,
In his annual report to Captain of Inspectors Bernard
J. McDonald, Lieutenant Burke shows the following gen-
eral business his bureau processed during 194> :

Praise Letters to Chief Dullea
The following communications have been received hy
Chief Charles W. Dullea:
"I wish to thank you indeed for the fine cooperation and
service extended me by Inspector Lucey of your depart-
ment. We realize the great pressure that your men are
working under with the vast inflation of your population
and the shortage of man power in your office. The dispatch
with which Inspector Lucey picked up the men we asked
for was very gratifying. The assistance given me when in
San Francisco for the two men, in locating the third mem-
ber of the family is very greatly appreciated. We wish to
assure you that this office shall always be ready to recipro-
cate wherever we may.
J. R, Devitt,
Sheriff, Santa Cruz."
"Thank you for your letter of October 27, 1945, com-
mending our driver, Williard Dunn, who rendered a val-
uable service to the Department by assisting or causing the
arrest of one Phil K. Gordon, who had just held up the
Franciscan Hotel, 350 Geary Street. It certainly is most
gratifying to receive such a letter and I have passed the
same on to the subject driver with commendations and
rrchids from our organization.
W. L. Rothschild,
President, Yellow Cab Co."

"I am taking this opportunity to call to your attention
and thank you for the splendid services rendered our Par-
ent Guidance Center by Policewoman Kate Sullivan. Mrs.
Sullivan has been a regular member of our staff for the
two and one half years of our existence, and we look upon
her as one of the strongest drawing cards we have. Last
evening when Mrs. Sullivan appeared we had present in
the audience six graduates, who through some irregulari-
ties in the calendar had missed hearing her before and at
their own request had been notified of her appearance last
night. Mrs, Sullivan held her audience of more than fifty
parents practically spellbound for the hour while she gave
a graphic picture of the children's troubles and the par-
ents responsibilities in those troubles. Several took notes all
through the lecture and plan to accept her offer of grant-
ing them a brief personal interview at her office. You and
all of your department can well be proud of our veteran
policewoman, Katherine Sullivan, and on behalf of the
parents of the Guidance Center want to thank you most
sincerely for making it po.ssible for us to have her services.
M. J.\Y MiNKLER,
Liaison Representative,
Child Welfare Department."

"This is just a note to express to you the cooperation
and promptness in answering my call from your Richmond
District Station. My machine was parked in front of my
residence and I had not been inside the house five minutes
before my wife noticed it was not there. In the excitement.
my first impulse was that someone had driven it off, al'
though it was locked. I phoned your department and two
of the boys responded very promptly, but in the mean-
time, a neighbor had told mc that the car had wandered
off around the corner into the next block and was stalled
on top of the sidewalk. It appears that the emergency brake
had broken. Your boys were very cooperative and even
tried to push my car off, but it was too firmly imbedded
in the shrubbery to move. I do appreciate the help and
cooperation given me and I want to thank your depart-
ment, and particularly the officers involved and the ser-
geant on duty at the station, for their promptness. I always
have been a booster for our Police Department, and this
is just another example of what your men mean to San

"I would like to take this opportunity to bring to your
attention the fine cooperation and attention given to the
boys of our school regarding safety and traffic control by
Officer Kane of your staff. He has been most helpful in
explaining the duties of traffic boys and his talk to our
assembly with movies on safety was of real interest and
value. We wish to thank Officer Kane through you frr his
fine contribution in this worth while endeavor,
Edwin M, Rich,
Headmaster,
Town School for Boys,"

"Late last year, 1 called the Police Department to inves-
tigate the mysterious disappearance of a Hundred Do'l-r
Bill ($100.00) from the purse of Mrs. Carmen Glern
from her residence at 1270 California St., this city, at
which time we were moving Mrs. Glenn's household g;xjds
from her apartment to her new residence on Union St.
We had three men on this move and Police Officer Joseph
C. Holl came out to investigate the case. Through the able
and fine training of Police Officer Holl, he was fortunate
to recover the $100.00 bill, plus an additional $20.00 bill
which had been crumpled and thrown out of Mrs. Carmen
Glenn's apartment window. It was through Police Offi-
cer Holl's excellent ability that he was able to recover this
loss. It is with great pleasure and respect that I highly
commend Police Officer Holl on his courteous and efficient
handling of this case.

A Cheap "Gyp" for Housewives
To Watch Out For
Load housewives who cheerfully accepted a "free offer"
to clean and renovate their vacuum cleaners now realize
that they, themselves have been taken to a cleaning. Ac-
cording to the Better Business Bureau, a number of local
women were approached by a young man who stated
that he represented a well-known vacuum cleaner con-
cern which was making the free offer as a goodwill gesture.
The complainants reported to the Bureau that the
cleaners have not been returned, they were given no receipt
and the vacuum cleaner firm has no knowledge of any
"free goodwill offer" of this kind.
Sought for questioning regarding the possible theft of
the cleaners is a man described as 5 ft. four in., 2? to .^0
years of age, slight build, dark complexion and wearing a
chauffeur's cap.

What Became of Jap Consul?
%
Officer George W. Thulander of the Traffic Bureau,
working now out of room 115, is wondering, since the
war with Japan is over, whatever became of Consul Gen-
eral Morikazu Ida, assigned to San Francisco for many
years.
In 1928 Motorcycle Officer Thurlander received the fol-
lowing letter from the then consul general. It was dated
June 12:
"My Dear Mr. Thurlander:
"I am herewith sending you the enclosed currency as a
token of appreciation of your service rendered last week
during the Japanese ambassador's visit to this city.
With high personal regards.
Yours sincerely,
Morikazu Ida, Consul General."
George also wonders what became of the then Japanese
Ambassador.

Captains* Police Commendations
Page 21
The following are copies of reports submitted to Chief
Charles W. Dullea by captains of the San Francisco police
department concerning efficient police services rendered by-
members of their commands. These reports have approval
of the Chiefs office, and the officers concerned have been
personally commended by their captains for their atten-
tion to duty, excellent police services rendered our citizen-
ry, and for their alertness as specified herein:
"I wish to call your attention to an example of prompt
and efficient police duty performed by the members of this
command. Officers Francis J. Lynch and William J. Mc-
Carthy, Co. G, in arresting a trio of young burglars in
this district on Dec. 19. Acting on information received
from George Lerned, principal of the Roosevelt Junior
High School, Officers Lynch and McCarthy took into cus-
tody Patrick Wood, 14 years of age; Jerry Streeter, 14
years of age, J. Phelps, 1 3 years of age, and after lengthy
questioning, secured admissions from them which cleared
up several burglaries in this and other districts and resulted
in the recovery of some considerable quantity of stolen
property. The above is only one of the many similar fine
arrests made by these two men, who, by the way, have
made an enviable record in dealing with juveniles in this
district. They have secured the cooperation and respect of
the principals and teachers of our schools, and have shown
a decided faculty for inspiring respect and liking and of
securing truthful statements from youngsters with whom
they deal, and which in my opinion has been a decided fac-
tor in reducing the juvenile delinquency in this district.
Fr.\ncis J. McGuiRE,
Captain of Police,
Commanding Richmond District."
"During the 12 m. to S a. m. watch of November
2Sth, 194^, Sergeant James V. Erickson was assigned as
operator of Radio Unit No. 1, and Sergeant Carl A.
Bruhn assigned as Patrol Sergeant in the first section of
the Richmond District: while on patrol in the Golden
Gate Park, at 2:20 a. m., of said date, noticed an automo-
bile parked opposite Fern Grove. LTpon investigation they
found it to be occupied by Eddie Smith, driver; Nancy
DeBray, and Enoc B. Page, soldier, Hamilton Field, all
sitting in the front seat. Eddie Smith was ordered to get
out of the auto, and as he did, an automatic .30 hammer-
less Colt pistol was found on the seat which he had just
vacated: there were four loaded cartridges in the clip. The
three were placed under arrest and conveyed to the Rich-
mond Station, where they v^cre questioned by Lieutenant
H. Combs and booked as follows:
Eddie Smith, violating Section 2, Gun Law, and $1000.
Vagrancy. Nancy DeBray, No. 1000. Vagrancy. Enoch
Page, en route to Sacramento. A 2^-inch crow bar and a
glass cutter were found in the auto. Smith admitted that
he had served a sentence in Idaho State Prison on a charge
of burglary: also that he was on parole from Folsom. Sum-
ming up the above, I submit that these arrests show initia-
tive, intelligence and devotion to duty and respectfully
suggest that these men receive your commendation.
Francis J. McGuire,
Captain of Police,
Commanding Richmond District."
"'I desire to call to your attention an example of good
police work performed during the 12-8 watch of Mon-
day, December 10, 1945, by Officers Emile Dutil and Jo-
seph Fleming, assigned to the Central Radio Car No. 2.
At 12 :04 a. m., the police radio broadcast the license num-
ber of an automobile involved in a hit and run case, per-
sonal injury. At 12:18 a. m., the department, after check-
ing with Sacramento, broadcast over the radio the name
of the registered owner of the wanted auto. At 1 :09 a. m.,
while investigating a stabbing affray at the Harbor Emer-
gency Hospital, Officers Dutil and Fleming noticed that
the name of one of the parties was that which had been
broadcast by the radio as the registered owner of the
wanted auto. They called the Accident Prevention Bureau,
and the squad assigned to the case responded and arrested
John Samson, Jr., 1206 48th Ave., for violating Section
543, V. C, Sec. 250-A V. C, and suspicion of violating
Sec. 480 V. C. Accident report made by Officers Cahill
and Murray, A. P. B. John Samson was parked on the
east side of Turk St., facing north, and pulled out sud-
denly, hitting a Plymouth sedan, which was going north
on Jones St. This Plymouth sedan careened off of Sam-
son's car and struck another Plymouth sedan and Packard
coupe, which were legally parked. Dolores Farana, resi-
dence 524 Filbert St., was injured as a result of this acd-
dent, and was treated at the Central Emergency Hospital
for contusion and hematoma of the scalp. Samson failed to
stop after the accident and his license was obtained by a
witness. In view of the above facts, I respectfully request
that Officer Emilc Dutil, Star No. 635, and Officer Joseph
Fleming, Star No. 1072, Central Pohce District, be com-
mended by you in Special Orders for their alertness and
attention to police duties.
Joseph M. W.alsh,
Captain, Commanding Central District."

ATTORNEY GENERAL KENNY STARTS
REGULAR MEETS WITH STATE CHIEFS
OF POLICE
Problems of law enforcement throughout the State will
come in for continuing discussion and action through the
policy just begun of meetings of Chiefs of Police with
the Attorney General at regularly scheduled times. At-
torney General Robert W. Kenny announced.
Such meetings were authorized by the Legislature in
194i for the purpose of a closer cooperation between
Chiefs of Police and the Attorney General's office.
For this purpose, the State has been divided into 10
zones. Zone meetings will be held on a quarterly basis,
according to Kenny. The first meeting was held January 17
in San Diego. Kenny met with the Chiefs of Police from
the following counties: Imperial, Orange, San Diego and
Riverside.
These meetings supplement the already established regu-
lar meetings Kenny now holds with District Attorneys and
Sheriffs. Assisting Kenny in conducting these conferences
will be Robert B. Powers, Law Enforcement Coordinator
of the State Department of Justice, of which Kenny is
head.

The Candid Friend
February, 1946
By Opie L. Warner
Rules and regulations, the world over, even in the re-
motest parts of "Darkest Africa" or in the head-hunters'
fastnesses of Borneo, govern, more or less strictly, the so-
called rank and file. The gross number of these rules de-
termines the grade of civilization of the people concerned.
And when we consider the governmental rules we find
It is not at all a case of: The more the merrier. Yes, our
experience is: The more the bluer.
The late President Wilson drew up some fourteen rules
of world national conduct, and Bible students are aware
of the ten conscience governing rules Moses brought from
Mt. Sinai.
But, in modern life conditions we find — frequently to
our personal discomfort — that our every act is governed
by a veritable maze of rules.
Our Police Rule Book contains the trifling number of
five hundred and seventy-four rules! And, lest you forget
it — the names of the Police Commissioners and the Chief
appear therein as collaborators.
Don't consider the Rules and Regulations merely as
police literature. On the very first page the following
appears: "The Rules and Regulations herein are published
for the information and guidance of all members of the
San Francisco Police Department." Consider carefully
that word "guidance." ,^ ^ *
Don't for a moment consider that your book of rules is
mere kindergarten stuff. Hundreds of men in the Police
Department have had the disagreeable surprise of finding
that they made glaring errors in civil service examination
questions based on a knowledge of the little "Black Book."
* * *
Don't be satisfied with studying your book of rules only
when a promotional examination comes along. A good
lawyer never considers himself completely master of the
codes, but actually keeps them on his desk at all times.
The b(X)k of Rules and Regulations is your code.
* * *
Don't think that you have done your duty in the matter
of knowing the rules when you have completely mastered
the chapter or two that refer to your particular rank.
An efficient police officer should understand that the
various rules and regulations of the department are more
or less dependent upon each other.
* Mt *
Don't go to the extent of memorizing any particular
chapter of the Rules and Regulations. The book of Rules
and Regulations may be studied just like any other subject
by carefully reading and re-reading the various chapters.
* * *
Don't ever display your mental laziness by saying to a
fellow member of the department: "Isn't there some rule
against this propo,sition?" Your hearers will certainly con-
sider that you are not a g(X)d police officer at heart.
Don't lend your book of rules to civilians. There is no
good reason why you should do so and, besides, it shows
but slight respect for your Department rule book, which
is your professional code of procedure.
Don't ever display the slightest ignorance of the contents
of the book of Rules and Regulations of the Police De-
partment before the Board of Police Commissioners. Re-
member, the present book of Rules and Regulations of the
Department has been written by three members of the
Board of Police Commissioners at present holding that
office.
* * *
Don't forget to carefully insert in the proper place in
your book of rules the amendment slips which are for-
warded from time to time to your respective Stations and
Bureaus. Under the power which the Board of Police Com-
missioners has, quite a number of these amendments have
been made during the past few years.
* * *
Don't ever be foolhardy enough to boast that you are
somewhat rusty in your knowledge of the book of Rules

and Regulations; rather, take pnde in being able to boast
— as I have heard some excellent police officers boast —
that you know the rules by heart.
Don't stray from the path of duty which the Book of
Rules and Regulations maps out for you. Remember it's
always safer to stay on the main highway between your
starting point and your goal; and your Rules and Regu-
lations definitely mark the boundary of your highway as
a police officer.

from the heroic fight Russia waged against the invading
Nazi hordes, to emerge as one of the great powers of the
World. We must not let the antics of the American Com-
munist prejudice us against this great nation which has the
right to any form of government she desires, nor must we
judge the great Russian people by the lunatic fringe which
represents the great majority of American Communists.
Yes, we have a right and a duty to know what is going
on in America. Law enforcement in the peacetime era
must determine to do its best to prevent home-grown or
imported Fascists and Nazis from reorganizing or re-
grouping under some other high-sounding, misleading name.
The rising trend in crime once again directs its atten-
tion to the home and the youth problem. More and more,
I am convinced that the fault lies directly in the home.
Parental responsibility is no longer in style. This causes
me to suggest that a new approach is necessary. In the
past when a youngster committed crime, he alone was held
responsible and went to reform school, a foster home, or
was put on probation. The time has come when parents
should be held responsible not only to their own con-
science, but to society. Juvenile delinquency does not occur
until adults first become delinquent. Law enforcement
must find a way to do more to alleviate this problem. A
widespread return of officers to the beat, concentrated ef-
forts through crime prevention bureaus, and a closer con-
tact with community facilities will make it a more potent
force for social betterment.
There is a need for more realism in meeting the crime
problem. It is not pleasant, but the fact remains that it is
the delinquent youngster of the war years who is now
graduating into the ranks of seasoned criminals. The most
recent figures reveal that 21 per cent of all arrests are of
persons under 21. More persons aged 17 are arrested than
in any other age group. Those under 21 years of age rep-
resent H per cent of all murderers, 36 per cent of all rob-
bers, 51 per cent of all burglars, 34 per cent of all thieves,
26 per cent of all arsonists, 62 per cent of all car thieves,
and 30 per cent of all rapists.

The whole problem becomes more serious when we ob-
serve the shocking spectacle of the rise in youth offenders
during the war years. They arc the ones who are now
becoming the post-graduates of crime and are committing
the more despicable offenses. The arrests of girls under 18
years of age have increased 198 per cent since the last
peace time year of 19.^9, while arrests of boys under 18
years of age have increased 48 per cent for homicide, 70
per cent for rape, 39 per cent for robbery, 72 per cent for
assault, 5'? per cent for auto thefts, and 101 per cent for
drunkenness and driving while intoxicated.
These figures do not mean that all youth has failed; on
the other hand, the generation ahead of them has failed.
The best we can do to correct our mistakes is to aid the
youngsters who have never had a chance in recapturing
their rightful places and removing those forces which have
contributed to their delinquency. The home, the church,
and the school must be united in a common purpose. We
need new altitudes of respect, both for the parent and for
law. We need a rebuilding of the foundations which made
this nation the greatest in all its history, bulwarks formed of
more staple materials than those of apathy, selfishness, or
indulgence. Our boys and our girls are the foundation of
America, to grow as their parents and their surroundings
direct.
We have a potent ally in the returning veteran. Fathers,
older brothers, and even mothers and sisters freed from
defense plants can do much to restore the home to its
rightful place.
The average veteran will come home a better citizen.
He knows what America means. He has fought and sacri-
ficed the best years of his life in order that democracy
might survive.
I resent the libel that has been placed on the returning
veteran by those who would lay the postwar crime waves
at his doorstep. This misapprehension regarding service-
men stems from the fact that many weapons used in crimes

of violence are either service pistols or other souvenir
weapons the returning soldiers were allowed to bring home
because of lax regulations. Many of these inevitably find
their way into the hands of unscrupulous black marketeers
who resell them to hocxllums and criminals.
Hundreds of thousands of such souvenirs have been
brought into the country by returning war veterans. Con-
sequently every community and all civic groups should
start a campaign to keep dangerous souvenir war weapons
out of the reach of killers and bandits. Nationally the Fed-
eral Firearms Statute should be strengthened so as to ser%'e
more adequately to protect society and make more diffi-
cult armed depredations upon law-abiding citizens by
thugs.
At the ver^' outbreak of war, in addressing you, I
pointed out that oppression would help cr>'Stalli:e a fifth
column. We singled out the guilt)' then and protected the
innocent. Here was a practical lesson in Americanism
which worked. The same principle should be applied to
the veteran. Give him the understanding, friendship, and
help he deserves while he faces a period of adjustment.
Those few who take the law in their own hands must
he treated firmly and be made to understand that neither
they nor anyone else can be immune when they do as they
please and fail to respect the rights of others.
As we face the new era that lies ahead, let us do so
with the determination that the people we serve shall have
our best efforts and the utmost of our protection. Let us
realize our responsibilities to those who have fought and
died that democracy might live, by dedicating every fibre
of our being to the preservation of the America we love.
Let us forever pledge that we shall keep here in America a
way of life that is wholesomely democratic, where citizens
walk consciously and fearlessly as free men.
I know of no greater cause; I know of no cause more
entitled to receive the enthusiastic support of ever^' Ameri-
can interested in the preservation of our country's insti-
tutions.

DISCOVERY OF GOLD
( Continued from page 6)
August 4, 18^8, Ira Willard, in the west branch of the
Feather River, found a nugget that weighed 54 pounds
avoirdupois before and 49J/2 pounds after melting.
A nugget dug out at Kelsey, El Dorado County, sold
for $4700.
In 1864 a nugget found on the middle fork of the
American River, weighing 18 pounds and 10 ounces, sold
for $4204.
At Corona, Tuolumne, in 1850, a gold quartz nugget
was found weighing 1 5 1 pounds.
A year before, at Sullivan's Creek in the same county,
another nugget weighing 28 pounds had been found.
In 1871, in Kanaka Creek, Sierra County, another nug-
get was found weighing 96 pounds.
The Sailors" Diggings on the north fork of the Yuba,
above Downieville, was very rich in nuggets. These dig-
gings were worked by a party of English sailors in 1851.
They found one nugget of pure gold weighing 30 pounds.
They also found a great number weighing from 5 to 15
pounds. The party all left this country together. They
took with them to England all the nuggets they had found.
These they exhibited throughout all the cities and towns
of the kingdom, thus infecting great numbers of people
with the gold fever. Just at this time came the world-star-
tling news of the great gold discoveries made in Australia
in April of that year.
Pocket mining, as practiced by experts in California,
is a branch of gold hunting that may be said to stand by
itself as an art. The pocket miner follows up the trail of
gold thrown off from a quartz vein, and strewn down a
mountain slope, until at last he reaches the mother deposit
whence the gold scattered below proceeded.
This is an operation which sometimes requires many
days for the washing of samples of dirt taken from the
slope. Many rich pockets, however, have been found by
chance.
One of the richest pockets found in California was that
in the Morgan Mine on Carson Hill, Calaveras County,
from which $110,000 was thrown out at one blast. The
gold so held the quartz together that it had to be cut with
cold chisels. It is estimated this mine yielded $2,800,000 in
1850 and 1851.
Almost yearly after this, rich pockets were discovered

somewhere in the peculiar formation at or about Carson
HiMs.
Many rich pockets were found around Grass Valley,
Auburn, and Sonora. The Reece pocket in Grass Valley
contained $40,000. This amount was pounded out in a
hand mortar in less than a month.
Near Grass Valley a pocket yielding $60,000 was found
by a "pilgrim," searching for health, and who knew
nothing of mining.
The Green Emigrant pocket near Auburn was found
by an emigrant who had never seen a mine. It yielded
$160,000. This find was made within 30 yards of a road
that had been travelled daily for 20 years.
The Devol pocket in Sonora, alongside the main street,
owned by three men, yielded $200,000 in 1R79. It was
all taken out in three weeks.
In the days of the gold rush to this state, San Francisco
was the principal point of landing for the thousands who

came in search of fortune. The town was built of rough
hoards and fog-stained canvas. The streets were unpaved,
and almost impassable after a rain. The prices charged by
storekeepers were a source of shocking amazement. Pota-
toes were 35 cents a pound; onions $1.25 a pound; and
the cost of other vegetables was only limited by the con-
science of the dealers and the means of the buyers. Eggs
brought $6 a dozen; sweet potatoes and squashes were sold
at from $2.50 to $5 apiece.
Plain farm boots brought $32, and better grades at from
$60 to $90 a pair. Pork sold at $75 a pound; veal $50;
bread 2'i to 50 cents for a small loaf; butter $1.50 a pound;
dried apples and peaches $1 per pound.
A small shanty rented for $250 per month, and prices
increased very rapidly toward the business center, where
light, frail houses, of one or two stories, on small lots,
sometimes rented for $50, $80 or $100 per day.
As the town grew numerous hotels were erected, and
most of them were located in that section of the city con-
venient to the Broadway docks, where all the steamers
used to land passengers bound for Sacramento by stage.
There was the Miners' Hotel on Second and Harrison,
which was always well patronized; The Western on
Broadway between Montgomery and Sansome, owned by
John Higgins; The Golden Eagle, at Broadway and Mont-
gomery, owned by Dave Hartnett.
There was the Manhattan House on Front Street at
Broadway; and the Chicago oHtel at Pacific and Sansome.
Many years have passed since the rush to the land of the
i,'old, and we now see all our city rising more mightily and
substantially in the march of progress.

SAN BRUNO POLICEMAN RECOVERING
Friends of Sergeant Russell of the San Bruno Police
Department, who was shot in a battle with two bandits on
the morning of February 3, will be glad to know he is fast
recovering. Milton E. Winchell, one of the bandits shot
by Officer Larry Pickett, after narrowly missing the officer,
is ready to be moved to the county jail to await his trial
for robbery and assault with intent to commit murder
charges. As we go to press Chief William Maher of the
San Mateo Police Department announces the second of
the yeggs has been taken into custody in Imperial county.
In the ne.xt edition of this Journal a full story will be given
of the case, telling of the courage of the two officers above
mentioned and the unrelenting and successful search for
the one bandit who got away.

Lieutenant Edward Dullea, U. S. N., and son ol Cliict
Charles Dullea, is out of service, and has taken up his
duties in the office of Attorney General Robert Kenny.
Lieutenant Dullea saw plenty of action in the Pacific area
of the World War just concluded.
Officer Edward T. Moriarity has returned to his old
station, the Southern, after doing his share in the Euro-
pean sector of World War II. He had his part in making
the Krauts quit. Eddie spent a lot of time in France, and
as far as that country or any other of those foreign lands
are concerned, he says he will take any small chunk of
San Francisco for all of them put together.
Inspector Walter Brown has rejoined the Auto Detail
of the Inspectors" Bureau after doing a hitch in the Navy.
He served as a specialist, and like his work as a police
officer, he made good with the naval officers he worked
with.

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
POLICE COMMUNICATION OFFICERS
ASSOCIATION
J. D. HOSSACK, President
R. E. Moore, Secretary-Treasurer
The Northern California Police Communication Offi-
cers Association held their regular monthly meeting at
Crystal Springs, San Mateo County, on January 10, 1946,
with Walt Harrington as host at the luncheon served
prior to the meeting.
President Bogardus opened the meeting with the intro-
duction of members and guests. The minutes of the pre-
vious meeting were read and approved as read.
Director Hippley reported for the party committee, and
stated that little progress had been made, but that Crys-
tal Springs could be considered as another possible loca-
tion. On a motion by George Burton and seconded by
Brower McMurphy, it was voted that plans for the party
be tabled for the time being until a more suitable meeting
place can be found.
A communication from the San Francisco -Oakland
Bridge was read requesting a clearance in the 72, 152 and
30-40 mc police bands. Mr. Chris Snead, electrical engi-
neer from the bridge, explained the necessity of radio
communication on the bridge to handle the tow cars and
fire equipment, and that increasing traffic conditions on
the bridge required the installation be made as soon as
possible. After much discussion by the members, a motion
by Jim Lewis and seconded by Brower McMurphy was
made that the NCPCOA refuse to take action on the
application from the California Division of Highways for
the use of any present police frequencies for the reason
that such a state division is not a law enforcement agency.
The motion was passed by vote of the members. A motion
was then made by Jim Lewis and seconded by Walt Har-
rington that the Division of Highways write a letter to
the FCC explaining the situation in detail and requesting
the use of a special emergency frequency in the 72 mc
band with the authority to use it for dispatching service.
The motion was passed by vote.
Frank Manov requested a clearance for the City of
Fairfield for use of 50 watts on 2422 kc for the Central
Station and one mobile unit on 30,980 kc. On a motion
by George Burton and seconded by Ralph Moore, the
clearance was voted on favorably.
Election of officers was the next subject. Al Taggart
requested that his name be withdrawn from the list of
nominations for secretary due to health. During the elec-
tion of officers. Chief Don W(X)d entertained with his
usual interesting discussion. The results were as follows:
President— Hossack 17. Bogardus 4; vice president —Gada
19; secretary-treasurer Moore 19; directors Hippley 10,
Maeshner 8, Morgenthal 10. Harrington 10, Simpson 13,
Kirby 13 and Naschke 15. The tie between Harrington,
Hippley and Morgenthal was run off with Harrington
being elected as the fourth director.
Sacramento was selected as the next meeting place, and
having no further business the meeting adjourned at
4:20 p. m.

It's a far cry to the old days when the members of the
San Francisco Police Department had their range in the
front basement of the Hall of Justice, with the targets
operated on a wire running over two bicycle wheels. Old
Sergeant Christiansen, the instructor in the use of fire-
arms, did pretty well with what he had to work on, but
the time devoted to practice was very limited, and there
wasn't much inducement for the members to go down into
the dark basement and trj^ out their eyesight on their
pistols.
Rangemaster Dutil announces a swell program for 1946.
and with the prizes offered, with so many police officers
returning from a hitch in our armed forces, it's a sure bet
that the turn out, the records and the good fellowship will
excel that of the preceding year.

February, 1946
ALBANY POLICE DEPARTMENT
/Continued from page H)
thing to make law enforcement sure. So today there arc
five cars fitted out with two-way radio, serviced by the
Berkeley Police Department station. Henry Villa, garage-
man, and his brother, Joseph Villa, who operates an up-
to-date grocery, were the leaders in this move.
There hasn't been a murder in Albany since Chief Wil-
liams has been on the force, with the exception of a couple
of murders which solved themselves by the murderers com-
mitting suicide.
The biggest robbery is that of a haberdashery store in
which the holdup men got $J000. That was in 1943.
Traffic, as in all California communities, furnishes a
lot of work for Albany's Police Officers. When it is known
that a check some months ago by Berkeley and Albany
police of automobiles passing through Albany showed that
over 40,000 cars passed along San Pablo Avenue in 24
hours, it calls for the utmost in vigilance and enforce-
ment. That this is done is reflected by the $26,000 collected
last year in traffic violations fines.
Besides Chief Williams, the Police Department is made
up of:
Sergeants Frank S. Davis — he is the oldest officer in
point of service, with 25 years — John Viarengo, and A. K.
Smith.
Patrolmen Kenneth Nickerson, William Hydie, Vern
Freeman, Robert Turley, Jerry Newhauser, and James
McLeod.
Officers Robert Link and Robert Job make up the office
duty detail, and Mrs. Ingrid Oakley is the matron and
secretary of the Department.
Sergeant Viarengo is in charge of the Bureau of Identi-
fication, and he has a well set up quarters in the way of a
photographic room, record room for taking and filing of
fingerprints, and handling all circulars that are sent and
received by the Department.
The Federal Housing Agency contributed $15,000 a
year for the employment of six men detailed to the housing
project.
Chief Williams is married, his wife being the former
Bettie Cline, outstanding pistol shot of this coast. She has
participated in matches throughout the west, teaming with
that other lady expert, Louise Jacobs. Mrs. Williams has
over 500 medals and 20 large trophies as testimonials of
her unerring aim with small side arms.
In April Albany will hold its municipal election, and
as things look now Chief Williams won't have any oppo-
sition. He deserves to be elected to the responsible job he
has so well filled since 194?.

Red Cross Has Big Post War Job
Red Cross was their friend through the years of war.
And Red Cross still stands hand in hand with the wounded
man overseas, the returned veteran and his family.
Its war job is only partly finished. And, in order to
finish the task. Red Cross will ask San Francisco in March
to contribute $1,547,000 as its share of the 1946 Red
Cross fund
Jean C. Witter, chairman of the successful 1945 drive,
again is general campaign chairman for San Francisco
and has as his aides most of the committee heads who
assisted him last year. These leaders are eager to give
their efforts because of their appreciation of the vital serv-
ices performed by Red Cross and of the necessity of con-
tinuing them.
Several thousand Red Cross field workers remain on
foreign duty and many will stay there until the last
American soldier is brought home. In the military camps
and ho-spttals in this country thousands of other workers
wear the tiny red emblem that is a sort of magic symbol
to those in pain. Tens of thousands of wounded are still
in those hospitals — and will be there longer than you
think. And Red Cross will stay there, too, with its arts
and skills, its recreation and welfare programs, its Gray
Ladies.
For the veteran with the snarled family problems, with
financial troubles. Red Cross must provide guidance and
help on the largest scale in the organization's history.
At the same time Red Cross must assume peacetime obli-
gations that should he curtailed no longer now that the
war has ended. Disaster relief, home nursing, first aid — all
vital community services — will be expanded to meet in-
creased civilian needs.
Some idea of the task confronting Red Cross may be
obtained any day at the docks where thousands of return-
ing .servicemen stream across the piers and are met, day
and night, by the Red Cross volunteers. Since the first
year of war. Red Cross canteen workers have seen off
every transport, giving a parting wave and some small
comfort to the men going out to fight. And today. Red
Cross remains at the docks, serving as many as 30,000
of these same men a day as they return. Red Cross truly
is San Francisc(/s hospitality committee. At Christmas
when shiploads of high point veterans were tied up at the
piers, stranded here. Red Cross set up emergency can-
teens and worked the clock around. For every returning
soldier, for every wounded man there was a Christmas
gift.
The war record of San Francisco Red Cross was really
a testimonial to a city's heart. Foremost in homefront
activities was the Blood Donor Service which produced
over 700,000 pints of blood and plasma. No city in the
country contributed so generously ol its own .self in rela-
tion lo population as did San Francisco. In this city 10,-
000, 000 surgical dressings were prepared by Red Cross
volunteers. Its Motor Corps has driven two million miles
on vital missions for the military, the blood service and
those never-ceasing dock activities.
On the larger scale, American Red Cross proudly pre-
sents a magnificent national and world record :
Sixty million dollars in loans and grants to servicemen
and their families since war began.
Almost nine million servicemen and their families as-
sisted by various chapters.
Twenty-seven million prisoner of war packages pro-
duced in chapters throughout the nation.
More than 25,000,000 items sent to Army and Navy
stations in the United States.
More than 50,000,000 persons in 41 countries given
$150,000,000 in civilian war relief.
And this gigantic task of dispensing mercy goes on.
One hundred million dollars is needed "to keep Red Cross
at his side in 1946" — in the hospitals, in bases overseas,
on the streets at home. Local Red Cross leaders are con-
fident that San Francisco, as always, will do its share.
Truly it is said that the war is never over for the Red
Cross.

Now Chief Collins Becomes Grandpa
Becoming the grandfather of twins seems to be the spe-
cial prerogative of police chiefs in San Mateo County.
In January Police Chief C. L. Collins of Redwood City
became the proud grandfather of twin boys born to his
daughter in San Diego. Officers report that he was "liter-
ally bursting the buttons off his coat" as a result of the
blessed events.
The Chief's daughter, Aline, is married to a marine
officer stationed at Klamath Falls, Oregon, They have a
small daughter in addition to the new arrivals.
Only last December 22, Police Chief Edward J. Wheeler
of San Carlos became the grandfather of a boy and girl
born at the Palo Alto Hospital to his son's wife. The new
arrivals were the second and third grandchildren respec-
tively born in the chief's family in the space of two weeks.
On December 22, his daughter, Mrs. A. C. AUmon,
gave birth to a daughter Patricia Ann.
Chief Wheeler celebrated his 20th anniversary with the
San Carlos Department last August 1. Chief Collins, a
widower, will observe his 33rd anniversary with the Red-
wood City Police Force next Oct. 1. However, Wheeler
leads in the grandfather parade. His son, Seabee Edward
J. Wheeler, has a 7-year-old son, Edward, Jr., in addition
to the twins.

SAN MATEO POLICE CALL REACHES FAR
San Mateo Police radio calls are being picked up in the
South Pacific, according to a letter received by Chief of
Police Robert O'Brien, from Robert Caldwell, AMM3/C,
United States navy air corps, 148 North Ellsworth street.
stationed aboard the USS Vincennes in the South Pacific.
The letter read :
"Don't ever let it be said that the San Mateo police
don't get around. Our aviation radio technician has a pow-
erful receiver, located in our hangar aboard ship.
"The other night, when the ship was anchored off the
Samoan Islands, about 4275 miles southwest of San Fran-
cisco, we heard a San Mateo Police call — something about
an address on Villa Terrace.
"Being a San Matean, you can imagine how it felt to
hear a home town police radio from over 4000 miles away.
It made me feel for a moment as if I were home again."

SACRAMENTO'S POLICE HISTORY
(Continued from page 9)
But where violence is common rather than the excep'
tion, police officers always can he depended upon to play
the role they assigned for themselves when they chose to
don the uniform of law enforcement forces.
And Sacramento's police history has been a stormy
one for the very fact that its economic life and its geo-
graphical location has made it a focal point for some of
the worst elements of the country.
It is this minority group here, as elsewhere, that poses
most police problems, but the Sacramento force has a
proportionately higher ratio of this criminal horde to
contend with than most cities.
Sacramento's really modern police history begins in
1917 with the abandonment of the old Front and I street
quarters and the removal of Police Headquarters and the
jail to the then modern Hall of Justice at Sixth and I
streets.
It was the beginning of the era of fast cars. It was the
World War I period which was to usher in the use of
radio as an adjunct to police work. It was to open a two-
decade period when the greatest strides ever made in crim-
inal identification were to be recorded.
At that time, with the city's population just under the
90,000 mark, the Department totaled 100 men under the
leadership of Chief Ira M. Couran, who. like his prede-
cessors, clamored for additional men to meet the continued
expansion of the city's boundaries.
That battle still goes on as will presently be shown.
In the new Hall of Justice a well-equipped emergency
hospital was established, but was staffed only by a nurse
with contract doctors, a situation which still exists.
This too was the era when the traffic bureau became an

important part of the Department and has grown to the
extent that today it virtually is a department unto itself,
facing the hundreds of complex problems that modern
day traffic entails.
The Pawnshop and Forgery Details hccame highly spe-
cialized fields within the detective bureau during this
same period.
In fact all police work began to enter specialization
fields until today there is a man or men whose entire
training and assignments are devoted to some particular
branch of crime.
But even so demands on different units of the Depart-
ment became more pressing, its leader always have had to
combat a certain amount of apathy on the part of other
city officials who never are fully appreciative, or possibly
aware, of the problems faced by the Department.
For instance, while the Sacramento Department was
beginning to make some of its greatest improvement strides
in its history, it suddenly was forced to drop needed men
from Its rolls, the records show.
That was in 19?i0 when the Department consisted of
117 members, and which receded to 107 officers in 1937.
Now with its modern two-way radio patrol cars, its
Accident Prevention Cars, which also are actually rolling
substations, the department still is woefully undermanned.
In a recent official announcement by the department's
present able chief, Alexander K. McAllister, he said the
present force consists of 141 men, a number far inade-
quate to cope with an anticipated post-war crime wave.
Based upon the city's permanent population of 125,000,
this allows but 11?^ officers per 100,000, and does not take
into consideration the city's n,000 to 2^,000 floating
population.
Chief McAllister has requested that this number be
raised by not less than 10 police officers — the battle that
has been going on for "a full complement" of needed men
ever since Marshal Cunningham pinned on his star in
1>S49.
While he has said ten additional men is the actual
minimum the department needs, the chief believes the per-
sonnel should be raised to a total of 167.
It is a hackneyed quotation, but all too true, that a
prophet is not without honor, except in his own country.

That can he paraphrased to a certain extent to cover most
pohce departments.
One of the most, if not the all important public bodies,
it usually is a stepchild or political football, a situation
that Chief McAllister, as far as Sacramento is concerned,
is rapidly overcoming by public education and winning the
public's confidence.
Looking back over its record against the countless odds
it always has faced, Sacramento's department can be justly
proud of its achievements.
It has been nearly a century since that mad rush of
emigrants swept down upon the banks of the Sacramento
River.
From a haphazard collection of tents, the city has
sprawled its way out over 14 square miles of land.
From the days that tented city of gold-mad men and
women, it has grown into one of America's most beautiful
communities, a city of parks and tree-lined streets, a city
of civic pride and culture, surviving through pestilence
and the mad rampages of the mighty river, to take its
proud place among American communities.
And through all its history its Police Department has
stood as a bulwark against those criminal influences which
would despoil it, a bulwark that has kept crime at one of
the lowest levels of any city of comparable size, although
its problems in the main, were far greater than its sister
cities.

men and he in a hettcr position to meet the police proh-
lems which are certain to occur.
In the recruitment of new men into the service, advan-
tage should he taken of the opportunity of selecting the
hest material from the ranks of returned veterans. Here
we have a hody of men who have heen trained in rigid
military discipline and no douht would be eager to enter
the law enforcement field if it were made sufficiently at-
tractive. It is recommended that the information contained
in the records of the War and Navy Departments he
made available to Police Departments so that they may
have an opportunity of examining the history of men who
have been discharged for reasons of "Ineptness" and are
applying for positions in the Police Departments. This
would enable us to avoid employing men who do not pos-
sess the proper moral qualities to become police officers.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation should be persuaded
to be the custodian of this material after the war, because
it will be useless to the Army and Navy after the armed
services are demobilized. It is not the purpose of this
committee to discuss a recruitment and training program
except to recognize its necessity and emphasize the urgency
of its adoption by all departments along the lines as set
up by other committees of this Association.

BUY U. S. SAVINGS BONDS
There will he no more Bond Drives.
But the Treasury will continue to sell E, F and G bonds.
These securities, known successively as Defense Bonds,
War Bonds and Victory Bonds, will now he called U. S.
Savings Bonds.
The Treasury's goal is ahout six hillion dollars" worth
of Savings Bonds sales in 1946, as contrasted with over
20 hillion dollars in all types of government bonds sold by
the Treasury to all individuals in 1945, the last war year.
This decision to continue bond sales to the American
public was arrived at after consideration of these facts;
1. As shown by surveys, the public is overwhelmingly
in favor of having bond sales continued.
2. The public has indicated its intention to continue
buying bonds if given the chance. This intention is espe-
cially strong among those millions of people who have been
buying bonds through the Payroll Savings Plan.
3. There seems to be general agreement among busi-
ness, the public, and Government that the continued sales
of Savings Bonds will be a good thing for everyone con-
cerned.
In short, we have a good product and a more-than-ordi-
narily-receptive market. But we need advertising support
in order to capitalize on this situation. And it is hoped
that Business will provide this advertising support.

The officers elected in December to guide the San Fran-

new men into the Department, that more will be added

CHIEF DULLEA'S ANNIVERSARY
iContimied from page 4)
Dullea made police history by establishing two nationally
outstanding police units in the department, viz: A Police
Pistol Range and a Police Juvenile Bureau.
As their names indicate these are indispensibly necessary
factors in a modern police department. As they stand today
both units are tops nationally.
Juveniles are a national problem. Chief Dullea is an
expert on this problem, and feeling the absolute necessity
of handling the job by experts he established the Juvenile
Police Bureau as a constructive approach to the juvenile
dehnquency problem on December 15, 1944.
This bureau is located at 247? Greenwich Street, the
old North End Police Station. It is commanded by a Cap-
tain of Police, and consists of the following listed units
of the police department: 1. Big Sister Bureau; 2. Big
Brother Bureau; ?. Investigative Unit; 4. Women Pro-
tective Officers. The results are most satisfactory. Cases
of Juveniles are handled by experts in the department who
cooperate heartily with all social agencies and aid material-
ly in keeping juvenile crime at a minimum in this immense
cosmopolitan city.
When Chief Dullea entered the police department there
were no means whatever provided of being able to effec-
tively handle the small arms prescribed for police offi-
cer.« by the Rules and Regulations of the department. As
a young man he had seen service as a Marine. He sensed
the value of being handy with any and all kinds of arms,
and today in the whole nation there is no better trained
police force when it comes to using tear gas bombs,, sub-
machine guns, sawed-off shot-guns, et cetera, than Chief
Dullea's police department members. In open local and
national shooting contests our men are first rankers. A
simple history of our San Francisco Police Range is in
order here.
)uly 15, 1944, witnessed the completion of the San
Francisco Police Pistol Range. Up to this time no proper
facilities had ever been provided for the essential training
of police officers in the handling and use of firearms, and
this event marked the dawn of a new era wherein the offi-
cers and men of our department became more capable and
better fitted to carry on their work of protecting the lives
and property of the citizens of this community.
This range is situated on the westerly shore of Lake

Merced and is the first unit of a contemplated Police Acad-
emy and Training Grounds; it encompasses an area of
approximately four acres.
Plans and specifications were prepared in the office of
the City Architect under the direction of Francis Latulipe,
criminologist for the Department, considerable thought be-
ing devoted to the safety factor while making the range
modern in every respect; many original and unique inno-
vations being incorporated in its construction, so that today
it is the finest, most complete and up-to-date of its kind
in the world.
Construction was originally commenced as a W. P. A.
project, but due to war-time conditions the work was
closed down with little being accomplished. Shortly there-
after work was again started and the range was finally
completed through the efforts of the officers and men of
the Police Department who voluntarily contributed both
their time and labor to the end that this most necessary
and important project be made available for the training
of police officers. It stands today as an enduring monu-
ment to those men and as a tribute to the determination,
the fixity of purpose and the unselfish loyalty which char-
acterizes the rank and file of the San Francisco Police
Department.
Success has never been an uninvited guest. It comes
to any man as a result of experience, knowledge of what
to do and how to meet any and all eventualities, and the
ability to apply competence to any job, realizing that he
has a capable force of men working with him to give the
law-abiding the maximum of police service.
With San Francisco's ofiicially declared population of
over 800,000 Chief Dullea is facing the future with con-
fidence. He knows what the housing shortage means to the
people of the city; that there will be some strikes and un-
rest; that following the precedents of past wars there will
be an up-surge of crime; that, though his force is under-
manned, each man and woman wearing a police officer's
star will meet any condition that may arise: that they have
always done so in the past and will continue to do so in
the months and years to come.
Traffic may not be completely adjusted. Street car
transportation may be a- little less than desired, and we
may not get all the butter we desire, but you can rest
assured that during the coming year. Chief Dullea's
seventh in the top office of the Department, crime will not
get a foothold in this city, known from Hudsons Bay to
San Diego and from Alaska to Florida as a city safe for
residents and visitors on tlie streets and in the homes
twenty-four hours each day of the year.
Yes, Captain Matheson was right about our Chief.
"Consistently competent" are a grand pair of descriptive
words of a good policeman.

"FLYING SQUADRON" BIG SUCCESS
Since Captain of Inspectors Bernard J. McDonald
created the "Flying Squadron," a crew of mighty able
police officers, last January, the three two-way radio
equipped automobiles, each loaded with three membfjrs of
the General Works Detail, have made it miserable for
the lads who figured to get some easy money by various
methods of thievery.
During the two months the first of this new detail has
been in action robberies, drunkroUing and other forms of
holdups have lessened to almost nothing. The boys who
had heretofore gotten along by keeping their eyes on the
regular patrol cars and foot patrolmen, soon found this
detail was apt to show up at any time and at any place, no
matter how well it might be sequestered. A lot of them got
discouraged by the abrupt manner one of these cars full
of officers appeared and acted in taking them out of circu-
lation, and have left town. Too bad.
The detail was divided into three shifts that gave the
city a 24-hour coverage.
The respective details were led by Inspectors George
Page, George Dyer and James O'Keefc. They had as their
crews Officers Jules Zimmerman, Frank Baroni, Frank G.
Gibeau, Emett Cotrell, Edward C. Preston, and Leo H.
Ferroggiaso.
These members of the Department did such a swell job
since they went into action that Captain McDonald felt
they should be given a little change in less strenuous work.
Therefore, on February 7th he issued an order transferring
all the officers on the detail to the night watches, dividing
the men with Lieutenant Peter Conroy and Ted Terlau.
Inspectors Page and Dyer went back to their regular jobs
on General Works Detail, and Inspector O'Keefe to the
Boosting Detail.
To replace these men Inspector Jerry Smith of the Boost-
ers Detail was assigned to head one squad with Officers
John A. Tompkins and Ralph McDonald.
Inspector William Merrick of the Burglary Detail toc)k
over the lead of another squad, and his crew are Edward
R. Van Dervort and Jack Cruickshank.
Inspector William Stanton of General Works com-
pleted the list of heading crews and he was given Officer
Alfred C. Arnaud and J. P. Donegan. The new officers
were from the night watches of the Bureau of Inspectors.
The "Squadron" works under the direction of Sergeant
Walter Francis.
It's been a very successful experiment in post-war police
work.

ON THE MAT
A hearty welcome by your gas
and electric company is sent each
month to owners and operators of
eastern industries.
In the advertising columns of
several magazines having national
circulation of millions of readers the
P. G. and E. Company is telling the
builders of tomorrow's factories
about the unlimited opportunities in
Northern California . . . industrial
center of the new Pacilfic World. In
this way we hope to attract new in-
dustries to Northern California.
New industry means millions of
new dollars will be spent in this area.
The businessman will sell more
goods. The farmer will have wider
markets for his crops. The wage-
earner will be assured of increased
opportunity to work for good
wages. This spells sound, genuine
prosperity.
We are proud to tell of the riches
of Northern California. And proud
to say to new industries all over the
nation: "Welcome, Friend, to our
home."

SAN FRANCISCO'S POLICE DEPARTMENT
Bv Director of Personnel James L. English. uJjo heads the SFPD Academy
The value and need of comprehensive training of police
officers is well appreciated hy those engaged in law enforce-
ment. There has been unanimous agreement among police
.idministrators that adequate training measures are the
most progressive forward steps that can be made in rais-
DiRFCTOR James English
ing piMice standards. Chief Charles \\'. Dulica has given
tuU recognition to these principles and has initiated an
intensive recruit training program that is unsurpassed in
the United States.
It is a long range program with the definite objectives
of greater efficiency, improved service and consequent
better public relations.
When the broadness of the scope of the present day
manifold duties of a police officer is considered, it is ap-
parent that education is the only answer to his problems.
Not only have new laws been passed, but old laws have
been amended. Population has not only increased, but
also has been more concentrated. Racial frictions occur in
resulting heterogeneous population group. Traffic pR^blem
are constantly gaiwing more serious and complex. Juve-
nile delinquency is mounting in its proportion. Crime is
increasing, not only in numbers, but also in complexity.
These are all serious major problems and can only be
solved by a trained officer who understands the cause and
effect of crime and related law enforcement res{X)nsa-
bilities.
In order to obtain the maximum of effectiveness from
the modem police officer, he must be furnished wn'th all
available knowledge pertinent to his work. He must be
aware of the aids that science has given to the field of
criminology* .and he must understand the basic principles
used in the application of science to the problem of de-
tection and to the acquiring of evidence for judicial proof.
Inasmuch as in the main, he is dealing with people, he
must know some of die ps>-chological and psychiatric ap-
pro.»ches to the question of human behavior. These are
some of the recent advances made in police science. How-
ever, it must be remembered that police methods of tixl.iy
are based upon many years of experience with tried prin-
ciples. The police student must be given the benefit of the
accumulated years of exp^crience in these sound Kisic
methods. In other words, the scienrific advances should N:
given to the student only after the foundarion of practical
basic methods has been laid.
Police departments are but one segment of the whole
circle of l.xw enforcement. Such agencies as the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, the U. S. Secret Ser\-ice, U. S.
Postal Inspectors. U. S. Customs Division, Federal and
State Narcotic Bureaus. Sheriffs' offices. District Attor-
ney's Office, Health Departments, Parole Boards, Highway
Patn->ls and m.iny other agencies complete the entire pic-
ture. However, the police officer is the first line of de-
fense for the maintenance of law and order. It is he who
usually has the first contact with the criminal or the com-
plainant, regardless of the n,iture ot the offense or its
jurisdiction. Therefore, if it is not a local offense within
his jurisdiction he must K' able to recognize it not only
as an offense, but also to K: able to refer it to the proper
agency. Complete harmony and cooperation may be
achieved between the various agencies of the law if the
police officer is trained to know not only his own imme-
diate problems, but also those of his allies against crime

Chief Dullea has expressed another important objective
to he reached hy adequate training. Although aware of
the heneiits of specialization in traffic and juvenile prob-
lems, he is also cognizant of the dangers of over-specializa-
tion in those fields v^hich leads to traffic and juvenile bu-
reaus being loaded with the full responsibilities of these
tasks. The problem is too big in either of these fields to
be handled by departments within a department. They
must be met with the forces of the entire department
working with these bureaus. Therefore, he is giving the
The same statement can well be made of the guest
members of the faculty. Chief Dullea has interested a
number of outstanding leaders of the community, authori-
ties and experts from private industry, schools and col-
leges, and members of related law enforcement agencies in
participating in the program. These instructors have been
selected for their knowledge and demonstrated abilities
in their respective fields. No faculty members receive com-
pensation, in fact money could not buy their time. They
are giving their time freely because they realize the merit
Chief Charles W, Dullea addressing the in-tructors
police recruit intensive courses of instruction on
phases of specialization so that he may be competent to
cope with them in the normal course of his duties. The
program does not call for any abandonment of specialized
bureaus, but rather a supporting of them by the assistance
of the entire department.
Another goal of the training program is the education
of the public to the complexity of police work and the
service that it performs. If some conception of this can
be given to the average citizen, much can be done in
raising his opinion of the police officer. If it can be
brought home to him that the officer is a thoroughly
trained man who has successfully passed a rigorous course
of study, public respect may be gained.
The San Francisco Police Academy probably could be
called the school of experience. When one considers the
fact that the total number of years of service of depart-
ment instructors reaches well over 1,000, it is apparent
that a vast store of practical police experience is available
to the recruit. Furthermore, due to the specialized work
of all of the instructors they are qualified as experts in
their respective fields. There is not a theorist on the staff;
each man has actually done that which he is teaching.

these of the course and consider their effort as a worthy civic L
contribution. N
As an example of the thoroughness with which a sub- 1
ject is taught at the Academy it might be well to review
the criminal law course. Inasmuch as all actions of the
police officer revolve about the law, the subject is given
considerable attention and time on the program. As a
matter of fact 100 hours are devoted to it in the course,
while in a regular school of law only 36 hours are alio
cated. The student is given the history and origin of la\
by a college professor. This is followed by 40 hours a
instruction on the penal laws by a staff of police attorney
who deal with these laws every day and are exceptional!]
well versed in their application. The penal laws are fol
lowed with 16 hours on the laws of arrest, given by
police department legal expert, who has specialized in tk
phase of law. The staff of the District Attorney's offic
then present the laws of criminal evidence and court prq
cedurc. Finally, judges of the superior court lecture on
their functions as court officers. In conjunction with the
law course, practical problems are participated in by thi
students in which investigation of crimes are made, arrest-
effected, statements taken, reports made, evidence collect

Oakland Police Statistical Bureau
Its Accurate Card Index System Under Chief Robert Tracy Stands Out Among the Nation's Best Detectors
By B. S. (Sandy) Sanders, Veteran Police Reporter, recently Retired From the Oal{land Post-Enquirer
There is a good reason why the Oakland Police Depart-
ment has a nationwide reputation.
There is no secret about the fact that police chiefs, fed-
eral peace officers, men of the FBI. sheriffs, statistical men
of police departments, come to Oakland, California, to
study this city"s police methods.
Chief Robert P. Tracy with Mrs. Philena Pope Bickell.
statistical expert.
And there is no equivocation when Chief of Police
Robert P. Tracy, says:
"We are justly proud of our statistical bureau. It has
never failed us. It leads us to the scene of the crime. It
identifies the culprit as if we had his picture before us. It
classifies him \n such a way that he cannot escape. It writes
the story of his modus operandi, be he juvenile or expert.
It furnishes us with the hour, with the place, with method
u.scd by the lawbreaker and from that moment on we have
the suspect under surveillance, though at the time we do
not know his name, his place of residence.
"But we do have enough information to classify him.
We do possess knowledge of how he operates. Sooner or
later whether he reappears in Oakland or some distant
city he is always 'picked up.' If he happens to be an old
offender our task and that of other police departments
are comparatively easy."
Woman Heads Bureau
And a woman, small, eager, nearing the age of retire-
ment from the Oakland Police Departme'nt, heads this
essential arm of a farsighted police organization. She is
Mrs. Philena Pope Bickell, for nearly 15 years in charge
of the statistical bureau of the Oakland Police Department.
Mrs. Bickell began her police study under Mrs. Eliza-
beth Lossing, a Berkeley policewoman and psychiatrist,
who had come under the tutelage of the then Chief of
Berkeley Police August Vollmer, later to become profes-
sor of criminology emeritus of the University of Cali-
fornia.
Mrs. Bickell enrolled in volunteer police work follow-
ing a course of study, covering two years in the social
service committee of the College Woman's Club, where
Mrs. Lossing was instructor.
In 1929 Mrs. Bickell was called into service by Chief
Vollmer, assigned to the statistical department, the first
similar department with statistical, automatic card index
system in the nation.
Here was a tabulating system that was perfect, that
like short-hand, made rapid translations of every kind of
crime.
It was in October, 1931, after Mrs. Bickell had served
for a time under Chief John Greening who had succeeded
the maestro Vollmer on his retirement, th it she v/as called
to Oakland where Chief James Drew presided and for-
mer Chief Bodie A. Wallman, now retired, was head
of the Inspectors" Division, the division that had most
need for such an accurate record of crime.
Under the guidance of Chief Vollmer the Chiefs of
Police of the nation established a uniform crime report
ing book. This today, is the basic principle behind th^
tabulating system in police work.
Crimes Broken Down Under Code System
Under the code system all crime is broken down, seii'
regated under felonies and under misdemeanors or pett\-
infractions of the law.
In Oakland when Chief Tracy walks into the statistical
bureau and asks:
"How many beggars were arrested yesterday? How
many disturbers of the peace? How many hangers-on about
the schools," Mrs. Bickell has the answer in a moment as
she runs the cards through the tabulating machines and
they toss off some 20 groups into which each offender fits.
Felonies, burglaries, grand theft, bunco, murders, sc'
crimes, and others — all are recorded daily and the tabu
lating machines of the statistical bureau spew forth thi
accurate details of how, when and where the crimes were
committed as well as the method used.
Oakland police inspectors as well as inspectors and dc
tectives in every police department where the method i-

POLICE AND PEACE OFFICERS" JOURNAL
Alameda's Police Department
By B. S. (Sandy) Sanders, Retired Veteran Police Reporter of the Oakland
Post-Enquirer, Editor and W^riter
Page 11
"I'm mighty proud of Alameda's police department,
and have been since I became a police officer back in
October, 1924.
"We've got the caliber of men who go to make up a
good police department and they're on the job every
minute day and night throughout the year."
Chief George R. Dor.'VN
It was Chief George R. Doran of Alameda speaking.
And he has just cause to feel that he is heading a police
department which stands out in front as one of the best
in the nation.
Listen: Alameda's head of the identification bureau —
Burt C. Bridges — for 21 years a member of the depart-
ment, is author of that manual in use throughout the na-
tion entitled '"Practical Fingerprinting." In between times
Bridges lectures at the University of California's School
of Criminology as an expert and a leader in his chosen
line of police work.
Then, too, Alameda takes rank as the first city in Cali-
fornia, sharing honors with Piedmont, to inaugurate the
two-way radio system. And the supervisor and technician
of the department, who devised much of the equipment,
Herbert Fairfield, known as "Red" to his intimates, hold-
ers of a first class radio operator's certificate, is still on the
job. That was more than eight years ago. Incidentally Ala-
meda has abandoned all one-way radio operations. Ever>-
car and its seldom used motorcycles are equipped with the
two-way radio.
That is one reason why the record of the years discloses
that Alameda has been exceptionally free of crime and
has in more than 90 per cent of cases investigated caught
up with the instigators, the men and juveniles wanted
from pett^- crime to murder.
That's a record, what?
Chief Doran, himself, is the second oldest member of
the department in point of service. The veteran of the
department is Inspector Martin O'Keefe, who joined the
Alameda police force on February 2i, 1918.
From patrolman Chief Doran went to the rank of ser-
geant, and nearly four years ago the then City Manager
Charles R. Schwanenberg, now city manager of Oak-
land, named Doran as chief, following the death of Chief
Vem Smith.
The city manager's choice met unanimous approval of
every member of the police force and was promptly
okehed by the mayor and city council.
Si.xty-one Members in Department
There are 61 members of the Alameda police force,
embracing Lieutenant Lloyd Wendling, who came in on
February 11, 1926: three inspectors, Martin O'Keefe, vet-
eran; WiUiam C. Johnson and Floyd Drake, the latter
signing up in the latter part of 1927; five sergeants, Rob-
ert Carroll, Jack Sutherland, Jack Mambert. Joseph Ber-
trand, William Tulloh.
Of the 61 total members in the department, 21 are vet-
erans of World War II, all with splendid records as sol-
diers of freedom for the United States of America.
"And you know," said Chief Doran, as he scanned the
names of his force, "These youngsters are ideally adapted
to police work. They are faithful and true and coura-
geous, following out the traditions of the Alameda police
department, from its earliest beginnings 7^ years ago."
Labor Disorders, Juvenile Delinquency
LInder Chief Doran, during the past four years, the
war years, has come two outstanding peace officers" prob-
lems: frequency of labor strikes and disorders: increase
in juvenile crime.
But Chief Doran and his fellow officers have taken the
troubles in stride.

SHERIFF JAMES J. McGRATH
April, 1946
Sheriff James J. McGrath, who on July 19, will have
completed 19 years as San Mateo County's chief enforce-
ment officer, has just completed a term as president of the
California Sheriffs' Association.
At the annual meeting held in Bakersfield March 21,22
Shhriff Jamhs McGrath
and 2 J, he turned over the duties of the top office to Sher-
iff Carl J. Tobiassen of Nevada County.
The program was studded with addresses and speeches
touching on law enforcement from now on; suggestions
for keeping ahead of the hardened and the occasional
criminal during this important post war period, and a re-
sume of what those in high official positions have done
and are doing to make respect for law and order worth-
while, were presented by many noted authorities on the
subjects under discussion.
Headed by Governor Earl Warren, followed by Attor-
ney General Robert Kenny, Chief Special Agent Robert
Hood of the FBI, Los Angeles district; Sheriff George
Overholt, president of the State Peace Officers' Associa-
tion, State Controller Thomas Kuchel, Director Richard
A. McGee of Department of Correction; William E.
Dresser, U. S. Treasury Department, Los Angeles dis-
trict; Chief E. Raymond Cato, CHP; Secretary of State
Frank Jordan, James A. Jeffrey, president of Justice and
Constables' Association; District Attorneys Lloyd E.
Hewitt of Yuba County, and Thomas Scott of Kern coun-
ty, and others. Contributed a program of constructive
ideas about what shall be done to meet the great increase
in population, increase in unemployment, and increase in
farming, industry and other lines of business.

he made the meeting one, at which nearly every Sheriff
of California was present, one to be remembered — from
things accomplished and the spirit of goodfellowship.
The newly-elected officers who will serve during the
current year are:
President — Sheriff Tobiassen.
Vice-President — Sheriff Robert W. Ware, Imperial Co.
Secretary-Treasurer — Undersheriff A. C. Jewell, Los
Angeles.
Sergeant-at-Arms — Sheriff H. B. Gleason, Alameda Co.
This last meeting of the association was its fifty-second
since its organization.
Since his appointment as sheriff in 1927, following the
death of Sheriff McGovern, Sheriff McGrath has won out
at the polls four times. He is now facing his fifth cam-
paign.
At his first contest for the office to which he was ap-
pointed— 19?0 — there were 21,000 registered voters. To-
day the registrar of voters announces there will be 76,000
names on the rolls for San Mateo County at the June
primary election. That means there are now around 200,-
000 people residing within the confines of this subdivision
and it won't be long until the number rises to a quarter
of a million.
When Sheriff McGrath took over his present office he
had a force of seven deputies. Today he has a force of
28 deputies, a woman in charge of the county jail for
women, and a woman radio operator.
He had no teletype, no radio and mighty few automo-
biles in the late twenties when he took over.
Today he is connected with teletype, has a fleet of six
two-way radio equipped cars, the latest in a broadcast
station under the supervision of Walter H. Harrington.
radio engineer, who has been engaged in radio work and
study for over 2^ years.
An innovation of Sheriff McGrath in effect now, is a
night patrol, with radio fitted out automobiles with twi
deputies cruising on split watches, one from 8 p. m. to 1 -
and one from midnight to 4 a. m., all populated districts
of the unincorporated areas of San Mateo county.
He hopes the Board of Supervisors will give him mor
cars and men for this important patrol.
One of the things Sheriff McGrath pridefuUy display
since his return from the sheriffs' convention is a solid gol
Gruen wrist watch with a gold wrist band, presented t
him by his fellow sheriffs on the closing day of th
meeting.

COUNCILMAN McNULTY OF REDWOOD CITY
Chief of Police C. L. Collins, on March 25, com-
pleted 25 years as head of the Redwood City Police De-
partment. His achievements are well known. He has kept
step with progress in law enforcement, the result of which
has given his picturesque and hustling little city the best
Councilman George W. McNulty
police protection. He has seen Redwood City grow from
a sprawling community with a few thousand people when
he joined the force in 1913, to its present estimated popu-
lation of 19,000, in the incorporated limits of the city.
There is one man whom Chief Collins gives credit for
the assistance he has given in making the Redwood City
Police Department the potent agency it is for enforcing
the laws of the land. That man is Councilman George W.
McNulty, who has been on the city council since 1916,
and enjoys the record with Palo Alto's councilman, Ed-
ward Thoits, of serving longer on a city council than any
man in this section of the state, and who voted for making
Patrolman Collins Chief of Police in 1920.
Councilman McNulty was born in Redwood City. He
saw the light of day for the first time in a ranch house
on the hills of what is now known as the Emerald Lake
District. His father, who came to Redwood City during
the Civil War, farmed 700 acres in that area, and when
the son arrived in 1873 Redwood City depended on its
lumber industry, there being large mills turning into lum-
ber the logs from the big redwood trees on the slopes of
the low range of mountains below the city. Redwood trees
were cut down as low as Woodside. It was but natural
that George McNulty, when he got through with his
schooling, should turn to lumbering. He started in as a
teamster hauling cut lumber to adjacent yards. He saw
the opportunities offered in this line of work and he ttxik
advantage of these opportunities, and he entered the lum-
ber business under the company name of Fox McNulty
Co., later taking over under his own name. In 1942 he
retired after operating a lumber business at San Bruno.
When Councilman McNulty was b()rn the population
of Redwood City, which was incorporated March 27,
1 867, was around 2,000 people. The veteran councilman
predicts before another year there will be 20,000 people
living in the city and an additional 15,000 in adjacent
unincorporated areas.
He has seen many outbursts of growth, both in residen-
tial and business building and he has seen Redwood City
become an important center of industrial activity for the
Peninsula, but he says the boom that started with the end
of World War II is beyond any previous ones.
He has had his part in preparing for this phenomenal
growth. He has ever been active in giving the city well
paved streets. He has done more than his share to make
it one of the best lighted communities of this section of
the state; he has devoted much time, effort and study on
making Redwood City the only deep water port on the
lower bay, and he has insisted and gone all out to make
the Police Department the fine organized body it is, and
giving it the implements to carry on its duties of providing
the maximum of protection.
So well has he served the people of his native city that
he has been re-elected every four years since he took office
in 1916. He was a member of the board of freeholders that
provided for the selection of a city manager form of mu-
nicipal government, and since 1927, when the city man-
C.HiEF C. L. Collins
Redwood City
agement went into effect, he has continued to give valuable
assistance in the conduct of the affairs of RedwCKid City.
W'hen one drives through that town today he is im-
pressed by the great number of business buildings going
up along the El Camino Real and other business streets,

CIVIL SERVICE QUESTIONS
April, J 946
(Last Examination for Sergeants of Police)
1. The bulletin "Uniform Crime Reports" is published
by the Fedenil Bureau of Investigation.
2. Among the crimes most commonly and consistently
reported to the police are murder, robbery, burglary and
auto theft.
3. The Uniform Crime Reports show that the crime
classified "Auto Thefts" consistently is numerically larger
than other classes of crime reported to the police.
The offenses classified under Part 1 "Offenses known
to the Police," include the crimes: Criminal Homicide,
Rape, Robbery, Aggravated Assault, Burglary, Larceny
and Auto Theft.
The FBI has jurisdiction in the following cases:
5. All cases involving interstate transportation.
6. All cases of counterfeiting of currency and other
negotiable instruments of the United States.
7. All acts of wrongful use of U. S. Postal facilities.
9. All cases involving traffic in drugs.
10. The patrol force is the backbone of the police de-
partment.
11. It is the function of the police sergeant to see that
the men under him perform their duties properly.
12. The satisfactory control of vice and gambling is a
difficult police problem,
13. It is generally agreed that police patrol on foot is
unnecessary in large cities since the inception of the mo-
torized patrol system.
14. Most complaints to the police originate by tele-
phone.
1?. Police records are a means of supervision and con-
trol over police officers.
16, All "Pohce Records" are included in the following
three classes: Complaint records, arrest records and per-
sonnel records.
17. Arrest records originate at the time of booking.
15. A correct written record should be made imme-
diately of all significant events in police work,
19, Case records are not required in actions initiated
by the police.
20, A police communication system enables the super-
vising officers to maintain contact with the personnel at
their command and translate into action those measures
necessary to protect the lives and property of the com-
munity.
2 1 , Modern police communications such as radio and
teletype have made the patrol box an obsolete device.
2.^. The teletype is not essential in an organization
equipped with modern radio apparatus.
24, The purpose of modus operandi file is to have a
record whereby criminals can be quickly located by the
names they go by.
25, The purpose of co-ordinating councils is to secure
the co-operation of various public and private agencies
in combating delinquency problems,
26, An effective program of traflSc control includes the
elements of engineering, education and enforcement,
27, The police department is concerned with only the
function of "enforcement" insofar as traffic control is
concerned, fl
28, There can be no efficient control of the accident
problem without adequate facts regarding accidents occur-
ring.
29, Accident investigation serves as a basis for intelli-
gent, effective traffic law enforcement.
30, The teletype produces a written record at the
receiving end automatically. M
Criminal investigation: "
31, Suggestive questions are generally agreed to be the
recommended form for investigators to use when ques-
tioning persons about a crime,
32, Before the suspect is questioned the investigator
should be in possession of as many facts regarding the
case as possible,
33, Scars, moles, tattooing are considered more valu-
able than fingerprints,
34, It is possible for two different persons to have iden-
tical fingerprints.
35, Fingerprints may enlarge due to growth, but no
changes take place in the number or arrangement of the
friction edges, ;
36, The firing pin of a pistol leaves an impression in
the percussion cap which is sometimes characteristic of the
arm, but often varies according to the hardness of the
metal in the cap,
37, Marks from the breech lock of an automatic can-
not be depended upon in determining whether or not i
particular shell was fired from a particular automatic.
38, Shells from revolvers are more likely to be found at
the scene of a crime than are shells from an automatic
40, A bullet usually is fired from the same side of a win
dow from which the flakes of glass are missing,
41, Comparison hairs from the scalp of living person-.
dead bodies and furs should not be cut, but pulled out
with the aid of forceps so that the roots may come out
with them,
42. Identification by means of hairs is one of the most
easily accomplished methods of identifying the perpe^
trators of crimes.
43. When a tool is placed against plastic material siicl
as paint and characteristic ridges of the tool will he molJi.x
into the paint, leaving a more or less perfect cast of sikI
tool.
44. All modern revolvers and pistols have rifled bou -
45. Due to various movements in walking, footprint
are seldom exactly the size of the shoe which made them
46. A motor car traveling in a straight line usunlh
leaves only traces of its rear tires.
47. Photographs of original teeth and tooth markuij
are far more accurate means of identification than ci-t-

)rif;in;itc tiom a certain individual.
49. Alphonsc Bcrtillion is noted for developing the
system of identification through fingerprints.
50. Sketching the scene of a crime is no longer done in
criminal investigation since the rapid strides made in
photography.
51. Photography represents one of the most important
ids to criminal investigation, whether it concerns the
exact production of the scene of the crime or the numerous
laboratory methods in which it plays an important role.
52. Latent fingerprints are impressions of the fingers
made with colorless substances from the skin which make
it impossible to be seen with the naked eye.
5.1. Both powder and iodine fumes are used to develop
latent fingerprints.
54. Generally footprints should be photographed before
making casts.
55. Fingernails should be carefully examined in cases
of criminal investigation, especially in cases of sex crimes.
56. Many burglaries, robberies and larcenies are pre-
arranged and fraudulent.
57. A knowledge of the methods of operation of crim-
inals IS essential to conduct successful investigations in
cases of burglary and other larcenies.
58. It is easy to determine the age of chromatic ink in
questioned documents.
59. It is easier to detect an erasure on a document
when accomplished with ink eradicator than it is if the
erasure was made with a knife.
60. It is impossible to determine accurately that a cer-
' tain typewriter was used in the preparation of a typed
document.
Supervision
61. Supervision in police work, besides determining
whether the man is actually on duty, includes the manner
in which he performs his duty, his attitude and his compe-
tence.
62. A sergeant must expect to stand or fall through
results achieved by those under his supervision.
63. A competent supervisor will come to know the
mental and physical habits and limitations of his men.
64. Every individual in a group has the right to act ac-
cording to what he thinks is right.
65. A subordinate would be justified in showing disre-
spect to a superior who, he feels, shows partiality.
66. Most men will welcome constructive criticism of
their work or actions from their supervisor.
67. Any policeman thoroughly familiar with the work
of the department would make good officer material.
68. It is the responsibility of the sergeant to see that
his orders arc carried out.
69. Loyalty is strengthened in an organization when
subordinates feel that their sergeant will support them
tairly in face of criticism by their superiors and others.
70. Courtesy diminishes the effectiveness of reprimand.
71. Self-confidence is a strong factor in a sergeant's
ability to handle the men under him.
72. Justice in a superior means that he must be a severe
disciplinarian.
7.1. Suppression of the humorous instinct in men is
necessary for a sergeant to maintain his dignity.
74. Enforcement of discipline, to be effective, must be
entirely impersonal.
75. A sergeant will obtain better results in supervision
when he takes a friendly interest in his men.
76. Any rule that is instituted for a good purpose is
certain to he a popular rule or regulation.
77. Each new man needs instruction in the proper con-
duct of his duties regardless of his personal ability.
78. A good sergeant will gain the respect of his men
without demanding it.
79. Regularity in inspection by a sergeant is unneces-
sary if he has a good force of men under him.
80. Subordinates interest in routine duties is increased
by pointing out the relationship of each task to the work
as a whole.
81. A sergeant who has a wavering will, but outstand-
ing initiative, would be highly successful.
82. Because your department performs functions con-
trolling the activities of a large portion of the public, you
should trj' to impress a person with the fact that your
department is more important than an individual who is
affected by its actions.
83. An effective method of developing good morale is
to make certain that employees understand the whys and
wherefores of their duties.
84. A superior who generally deliberates at length be-
fore rendering his decision thereby gains great respect of
his subordinates.
85. A newly appointed superior should proceed aggres-
sively to dominate an employee who appears insubordi-
nate.
86. An order should be phrased in clear unambiguous
language.
87. A well conducted organization should provide di-

before his fellow patrolmen, will impress the fault upon
the entire group and secure more efficient service from the

Post War Planning
Address of Chief Charles W. Dullea to the Annual Convention of the International Association of Chiefs of
Police, Held in Miami Beach, Florida, last month. He was chairmnn of the Committee on Post-War Police Problems
(Continued from last issue >
There are in this country some communities who are so
niggardly that the salaries which they pay to the members
of their police departments are a disgrace. We are con-
fronted with the spectacle of a police officer, sworn to
uphold the law and protect the lives and property of the
Chief Charles W. Dullea
citizen of his community, to assume all of the physical
dangers that attach to the position, and always exposed
to corrupt influences seeking special privileges, and the
protection which is afforded to him by the citi-ens in the
way of financial security is often disgraceful. Is it any
wonder that young men do not seek police work as a
vocation.
The same groups who are such staunch advocates of
professionalizing police departments should just as zeal-
ously urge security of position and salaries commensurate
with the calling.
It is recommended that a study be made of the various
pension systems now in existence in police departments
throughout the United States with a view of recommending
a model pension plan to communities who have failed to
give their law enforcement officers this protection. At the
same time thoughtful consideration should be given toward
establishing a minimum rate of wage for members of police
departments, taking into consideration the size of the com-
munity and the department.
A plan of tenure in office, at least for the rank and
file, should be developed and recommended. It is hard to
induce a young man to enter the police service if he
knows that a change of administration will find him out
of a job. Hold out the prospects to him of a police career
surrounded with economic security and much of the diffi-
culties or recruiting proper personnel will fade away.
III. Police Training
I would not want anyone to infer from the previous
statements that this committee did not regard proper
police training as one of the fundamental necessities toward
maintaining a modern and efficient police department. We
are taking advantage of this opportunity to bring this
sorely needed reform, in the matter of pensions and sal-
aries, to a place in the planning program where it will
receive the attention to which it is entitled.
In service training for members of police departments
should be a mandatory requirement. In small communities
where it is not possible to establish a training program
for the department, advantage should be taken of the
opportunity of sending police officers to the schools main-
tained by the nearby larger departments. There is no ex-
cuse for a police officer to fail to receive adequate train-
ing. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has established
regional training schools which offer a condensed program
of instruction at convenient locations so that all may
attend. The National Police Academy is offering an oppor-
tunity for police departments to send their men there for
a training course that is second to none. State Depart-

George Reilly Gets Praise
A^r
1946
George R. Reilly, State Board of Equalization member
for the First District, which embraces San Francisco, San
Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Monterey and San Be-
nito Counties, has during his more than seven years in
that important office, cooperated with all organizations.
Georcf. R. Reilly
State Board of Equalization
associations and public officials in carrying out the respon-
sibilities of his important trust.
Though charged with enforcing regulations affecting
the liquor industry, sales taxes and income taxes, George
Reilly has given much attention to many other things that
have some relation to his regularly constituted duties. He
has built up a great reputation for cooperation with all
law enforcement agencies in his district, and during the
war years he achieved the same good reputation with the
heads of our military forces.
Particularly has he been deeply interested in juvenile
delinquency and he has had the many men and women
engaged in enforcing the regulations of places selling beer,
wines and alcoholic liquors pay particular attention to any
violation of the laws that would contribute to making
minors take the wrong path.
Through the efforts of his subordinates he is credited
with doing his share of curbing juvenile delinquency,
which has since the war's end become one of the major
pioblems of the peace officers throughout the nation.
As an example of how much his cooperation has been
appreciated among navy and army leaders, the following
two letters are presented.
One from Captain E. R. Shipp, now retired, of the
office of the commandant of the 12th Naval District, with
headquarters in San Francisco. The letter addressed to
Board Member George R. Reilly, states:
"It is desired to express the appreciation of this activity
for the constant and earnest cooperation your board has
rendered the Navy Shore Patrol in its endeavors to guide
and protect Naval personnel ashore in this area.
"Since there remains — for many months to come — a
continued need for mutual assistance, the support of your
office is a factor largely relied upon in patrol planning
From Lieutenant Colonel Charles Steele, of the Ninth
Army Service Command, San Francisco, comes this letter:
"This letter is written to acknowledge and express the
appreciation of this headquarters and the writer for the
cooperation and assistance your office has given to the
Army in attempting to solve and control the many proi^
lems which were brought about by the war.
It is the sincere hope of this headquarters that we will
have the continued and needed support of your office dm
ing the period ahead of us in which many troops p:i--
through this area."
Stressing the assistance he has given in juvenile mat'
ters, Judge Theresa Meikle, presiding over San Fran-
cisco's Juvenile Court, states in a letter to Mr. Reilly,
the following sentiments:
"This letter is written to express the appreciation of
this court and the writer for the splendid cooperation
and assistance you and your office has given the Juvenile
Court, and the citizens of this community in reducing
juvenile delinquency to a minimum,
"It is the sincere hope of this court that we will have '
the continued and needed support of your office in com-
batting this vexing social problem, which is a responsi-
bility of the law enforcement authorities, and finally, that
nothing will be left undone to insure the removal of those
conditions that make delinquency an alarming national
problem."
Edith C. Wilson, assistant District Attorney, handling
the cases in the Juvenile Court says, among other things,
in her letter to Mr. Reilly:
"May I take this opportunity to thank you for your
earnest and successful cooperation with our department
in our mutual effort to reduce juvenile delinquency to a
minimum."
Particularly to the Sheriffs of the counties of the First
District has George Reilly and his assistants been greatly
welcomed. With growing populations in every county in
this area and with Sheriff's office forces cut by men going
into the services, the Board of Equalization has rendered
aid that has kept law violations at a low figure.

Highlights of Uniform Crime Reports, 1945
With the release of the annual Uniform Crime Re-
ports Bulletin, J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the FBI,
pointed out the following highlights of the Bulletin based
upon crime reports received from 5,5 31 law enforcing
agencies in 1945 :
North Dakota and South Carolina were the only two
States in the Nation that did not report an increase in
crime last year.
Ai rests of girls under 21 increased 109.. 3% last year
over the last peacetime year of 1941, while arrests of males
under 21 decreased 7.3%.
A survey of 5.34,8.')2 arrest records revealed that per-
sons under 21 years of age totaled 113,996, or 21% of
all arrests. More persons aged 17 were arrested than in
any other age group.
Of the .543,852 arrest records examined, 282,332, or
51.9%, represented persons having records of prior ar-
rests.
Two thousand cities, representing a population of 65,-
000,000, reported an actual increase in serious crimes of
12.4% over 1944, wth the following increases in specific
crimes: rohberies, 2 3.6%; auto thefts, 18.7%; Burglaries,
17%; negligent manslaughter, 16.2%; murders, 10.1%;
aggravated assaults, 8.7%; larcenies, 8.6%, and rape,
5.7%.
POLICE AND PEACE OFFICERS' JOURNAL • Apri
An estimated total of 1,565,541 major crimes were com-
mitted in 1945 or an increase of 171,886 over 1944. In-
addition several million lesser offenses were committed.
During 1945, there were 11,234 felonious homicides;
11,537 rapes; 59,807 aggravated assaults; 54,279 robberies;
241,491 automobile thefts; 321,672 burglaries and 865,52
larcenies.
The increase of crime in 194.5 was the greatest in the
fifteen-year period since the FBI began tabulating natio)
wide crime statistics.
Cities having a population of over 250,000 inhabitants
reported crime increases of 14.7%; while cities having
less than 10,000 inhabitants showed crime increases of
13.3%; and crime in rural areas increased 8.5 % .
Stolen property totaled $88, .574, 459. The improved
economic condition of the Nation is reflected in the rise
of the value of loot for the average offense as indicated
in the following table:
Offense Value of Property Stolen
1944 J94^
Robbery $113 $14(i
Burglary 102 US
Larceny 47 54
Auto Thefts 586 ("
Robbery of filling stations increased 76.9%, highway
robberies increased 20.7%, commercial houses 27.1%,
chain stores 10.3%, and residences 15.9%.
Purse snatching increased 8.5%, shoplifting 6.3 'i
thefts from automobiles, 24.6%, while thefts of bicyil^
decUned 4.2% in 1945 over 1944.
Law enforcement officers recovered 84,595 or 95.1 '^^
of the 88,950 automobiles stolen, while 17.1% of stolLii
money, 22.7% of stolen jewelry, 12.2% of stolen hn^.
and 20.9% of stolen clothing were recovered by tin
police.
ANNUAL BALL OF S. F. P. D.
The annual concert, show and dance of the San Fr.in-
Cisco Police Widows" and Orphans" Aid Association is all
set for May 4, and from reports of Captain Mich;ul
Gaffey, chairman of the general committee, a program ex-
ceeding any former event of the Association is all ready
to present.
The sale of tickets is not up to last year, but the com-
mittee expects the closing days before the event which
will be held in Civic Auditorium will equal or excell l.i
year"s sale, which was the largest ever experienced during
the Association"s long history.
With some $100,000 having been paid out to the vvlJ
ows and orphans of police officers who passed on during
1945, it is necessary that every member exert his efforts
to match last year's record.
Governor and Mrs. Earl Warren and Mayor and Mrs.
Roger D. Lapham will lead the grand march following
the big variety show, made up of star performers from
radio, movies and night clubs.

S. F. POLICE HEROS GIVEN CASH AWARDS
For the first time in the memory of this writer members
of the San Francisco Police Department who have dis-
played rare courage and quick and efficient action in ap-
prehending criminals, in many cases at the risk of their
lives, have been rewarded in a substantial way for their
acts of police service. Though the charter provides for
such financial recognition it has never been used for over
30 years that we can recall.
Police Commissioner Jerd Sullivan, J. Wesley Howell
and E. L. Turkington in line with their policy of properly
taking such official action that they deem fit to keep the
department high in morale, decided to bring out the old
charter provision, dust it off and make it mean some-
thing. Not only to the men affected, but as an example
to others who will face the dangers these men have, that
their loyal and unselfish efforts will not be unrewarded.
So at the meeting on the night of March 21, they side-
tracked other commission business to present checks of $50
and $100 to twenty-three members present, and ordered
a check sent to the wife of Edward Wayda, who has since
died. In the next issue of this magazine we will present
the deeds the following men did to win such ofiicial ap-
proval
Those awarded checks for meritorious conduct, passed
on by the meritorious conduct board, follow :
Patrolman Samuel Cohen, Patrolman Emile W. Dutil,
Patrolman John J. McQuaide, Jr.. Patrolman Edward J.
McKevitt, Sergeant William A. Albrecht, Patrolman Cor-
nelius J. Harrington, Patrolman William S. Wright, Ser-

As a prelude to the presentation of the checks to the
above named officers President Sullivan stated:
"Members of the department were granted rewards for
meritorious services by a resolution adopted by the Board
of Police Commissioners at its meeting January' 7, 1946,
and that a check was sent to the widow of Officer Wayda.
"We have to delay these taxicab hearings for the time
being as this is an event in the Police Department. It is
not vcr>^ often we have an audience on such an occasion.
These men will be given awards for something they have
done in line of duty over and above the ordinary require-
ments.
"When this Commission came into office, it decided
that in addition to granting citations for meritorious con-
duct, they would exercise their rights under Section ?5.ll
of the Charter and give to these men. who receive credit
for meritorious conduct, a cash award.
"In these cases, we will present to each man coming
under subdivision 'A" of the rules and regulations of
the Police Department, a sum in the amount of $50.00,
and those receiving credit under subdivision "B" a sum in
the amount of $100.00."
The warrants were then handed to each man named.

Northern Station Night Platoons Celebrate
April. 1946
The members of the night platoons of the Northern
Station of the San Francisco Police Department threw
a party at noon Tuesday, March 19, at American Legion
Hall, Judah Street, near 10th Ave., that should be fol'
lowed by every station in the city.
It was designated as a great Northern Get-Together
party and featured a corn beef and cabbage dinner with
all the trimmings and refreshments. Some 90 boys of the
two watches of Lieutenants Jack Eker and Jerry Coughlan
were on hand to start off a function which will become an
annual event.
The idea of this get-together was incubated by Officers
Edward J. Hall, Phillip Lindecker, Jr., James Egan and
Randolph C. Ciucci, and had the hearty support of Cap-
tain John M. Sullivan and Lieutenants Eker and Coughlan.
This social gathering was the first of its kind that this
writer has seen since he first came onto the police beat back
in 1913. True, once in a while when some officer was tak-
ing a pension some of his buddies would get up a little
party, but even these have been few and far between.
Officers Cuicci, Hall, Egan and Lindecker felt that
there ought to be some means of bringing the members of
the Department, especially in the district stations, where
they could lay aside the duties their responsible positions
impose. The only social assosciations they had was saying
"Hello Joe," "how are you Bill," and so on as the men of
one watch came on and those of another were reporting off.
Well the success of this first gathering was so complete
that those who attended wondered why such things had
not been thought of before.
The above mentioned officers of the Northern Station
left nothing undone that would assure success and a good
time for all who were lucky to attend. Officer James Egan
assisted in their plans and acted as master of ceremonies.
The corn beef and cabbage and fine salad was prepared
by the culinary experts of the two night watches and the
food was plentiful and could not have been better if a St.
Francis chef had been presiding.
After the boys had stowed away great servings of corn
beef and cabbage, to the music of a small orchestra, with
Officer Peter Larson doing some swell piano playing. Offi-
cer Nevin took over. He announced the purpose of this
gathering and said it was only fitting that the first order of
business be to call the roll of those members of the Northern
Station who have returned after their service in the Na-
tion's armed forces. He read the following list of names
and each was called to take a bow and all were given a
great ovation :
Officers George Walgren, Joseph Lacox, Harry Grieb,
Howard Marcuse, Robert Casciani, Frank Allen, Robert
McKernan, William Gavre, William Strange, George
Brandlein, John Elb, Roycc Cannon, Charles Sutton, Tho-
mas Scott, John Doherty, George Crofton, George Ander-
son, Victor O'Rourke, Thomas Applegate, Claude Nes-
bitt, Donald Scott and J. Kannisto.
The occasion was also devoted to awarding the prizes
to the golf and pistol matches between the two night
watches. Lieutenant Coughlan's platoon walked off with
all the high honors, winning the golf tournament as well
as pistol shooting.
The winning golf team was made up of Officers James
Molinari, William Strange, Stephen Malone and Lieuten-
ant Coughlan.
The boys who brought home the bacon in the small
arms contest were Officers Wesley Thurlander, Philip
Lindecker, George Hoover, Ross Cannon and Floyd Gress.
A beautiful trophy for the golf contest winner was do-
nated by Joseph Mangrum. Molkenbuhr Brothers gave a
fine plaque for the pistoleers.
Leo Ferroggiaso won a trophy for making a hole in one,
and Officer Victor Suttman for making high score in the
pistol matches. There were prizes for blind bogey scores
in golf. Officer Cuicci made the presentations.
Matches of these two events will be an annual event
among the night platoons.
Captain Michael Mitchell of Park Station, in whose
district the meeting was held, was a special guest, as was
also Matthew Carberry, formerly with the Police Depart-
ment, now with Assessor Russell Wolden, and whose
efforts in handling campaigns for the salary raises and the
present pension as well as his activities in forming the Po-
lice Officers Association are well remembered by every
member of the San Francisco Police Department.
These two were called upon for a few remarks, as was

SAN BRUNO'S COURAGEOUS POLICE OFFICERS
Time was when it was a soft touch for a crook to pull
a job in a rural community. The men charged with law
enforcement were not schooled in their work, more often
holding their jobs by waving a flag for some successful
candidate for local office.
Things have changed since that time, especially in
the risk of being shot down in bringing their man to book.
As an example of this idea we cite the case of two offi-
cers of the force of Chief of Police William Maher of ,j
Chief William Maher
California where the law enforcement officers are men
with a background of education, who have to meet rigid
requirements, in many cases pass a civil service test and
who are mentally and physically iit to cope with all
phases of crime.
The men you find today in all police departments in

this state are alert, loyal and courageous men, who take
pride in their work, and who know how to go about
getting a wanted man, how to arrest him, get the neces-
sary information to present at his trial and keep a record
of a case from the beginning to the end.
These men face their hazardous tasks without fear and at

a strange car pulling away from the curb in the 500 block
of Linden avenue, pulling slowly away from the curb,
faced in the opposite direction of the police car. Looking
back at the car Officer Pickett saw it had no tail light.
He also noted that the car speeded up as the prowl car
passed. Then for some reason the suspected car's driver
turned around and came back. The officers were ready
for him, and the car was forced to stop.

CHIEF THEUER'S BURLINGAME POLICE DEPT.
Since Chief R. C. Theuer took charge of the Burlingame
Pohce Department with the retirement of Chief John J.
Harper, he has made many changes that give the people
of this attractive city the best in police protection.
Prominent in the changes is his having created the rank
of Lieutenant. At a promotional examination Sergeant
Lawrence Furio was top man and late in December he was
elevated to the rank of Lieutenant.
This gives Chief Theuer two commissioned officers, the
This is checked by the officer's superior and any other de-
velopments that might follow the case are incorporated
by Mrs. Laboda. The Chief has the final say and he may
make suggestions for further efforts of the case, and when
this is done there is a complete record of the case, four
copies being made, properly distributed, one for the police
record book.
Another of the changes made by the new chief is the
compiling of monthly reports of the work the Department
Chief R. C. Theler
Lieutenant Lawrence Furio Captain John J. Hartnett
Tlirce Top O^ctyi of Burhngame Police Department
other being Captain John Hartnett. Under this change
Captain Hartnett, who has proven his ability as a police
official in many instances, has charge of all investigations,
photography, equipment, including radio and other duties
imposed by the regulations of the department. Lieutenant
Furio, capable and studious, has charge of the book work,
including reports and records in addition to handling the
fingerprinting. He is in charge of the headquarters office
during the day hours.
Two Sergeants. J. Price and L. Todd, have charge of
the two night details.
Referring to reports Chief Theuer has introduced an
innovation that might well be copied by all departments.
It is well known that most police officers know little about
jperating a typewriter, and that in many instances lack
:he practice of composing readable and complete reports
af any police action they have taken.
Chief Theuer has solved this deficiency. A man is as-
■igned to a case or he performs some police dut>' that
rails for a report. He makes his report on a prepared
■"lank, in long hand and takes it to Mrs. Anga Laboda,
vho has been appointed secretary' of the Department, who
ilso scr\'cs as matron. Mrs. Laboda is an expert stenog-
apher and ver>' capable in composing reports, cutting out
ill non essential details and when she is finished a corn-
Mete picture is given of what the police officer has done.
is doing. It will be made into an annual report at the end
of the year and a copy submitted to the Cit>' Council, and
another kept for the records of the department.
This report reveals that the Police Department now has
^,07^ fingerprint records in its files and has received 192
from outside cities: that last year the police made escorts
to the number of 130, accommodating the transfer of funds
for banks, the postoffices and theaters. This escort service
has a very definite way of discouraging payroll stickup
men.
It shows how well the street patrol works by setting
forth that a number of homes were looked after when the
owners were away, and unlocked windows and doors of
business places were discovered on numerous occasions.
Of an average 600 arrests, 4>0 were for motor vehicle
law violations, and 150 were for other crimes, though the
arrests for felonies, such as robberies, burglaries, assault,
are noticeable by their scarcity, for there are but mights-
few of these crimes permitted in Burlingame. In fact of all
complaints of a criminal nature less than 17> were made
to the department, which shows how thoroughly are all
cases solved by arrests.
How thoroughly the radio patrol force covers the streets
of Burlingame is reflected by the reports of the two men
crews of the five two-way radio equipped cars, which show

SAN CARLOS STILL GROWING
Before the late war San Carlos was enjoying the big-
gest building boom of any city in Northern California.
Like all communities during the world conflict it had to let
up in its building splurge. But the smoke of battles had
no sooner disappeared on the far flung war fronts when the
men with the hammers, saws and other equipment of the
builder got going again. Today there is in progress and
has been for some months past, the greatest boom in resi-
dential and business building you could find in the country.
Building permits for the first three months of the year
have totalled $1,775,350. Of these, $538,600 were for
stores, $1,113,500 were for homes, $38,000 for alterations
and nearly $70,000 for miscellaneous improvements.
Permits issued were for 22 stores, 135 for homes, 174
for plumbing, 164 for electrical, 105 for gas appliances
and 60 contractor's licenses were granted.
All these promise an increase of San Carlos' 7,500
population, and it means that Chief Edward Wheeler and
his seven-man Police Department is going to have more
work to do. Chief Wheeler has increased his residential
patrol, and covers a lot of territory, with his two-way
radio equipped cars from sunset to sunup.
San Carlos went through the war with hardly any
crime worth mentioning and Chief Wheeler is determined
to continue this splendid record and has in mind improve-
ments that will assure the utmost in protection to the
residents of his thriving city.
The Dalmo Victor Company is one of the big concerns
that was drawn to San Carlos by the war. They have a
big plant on El Camino Real and another at the old water
pumping plant. Other concerns have found the area de-
SAVE YOUR WAR AND
sirable, and manufacturers of cement goods have several
plants in the district. San Carlos also has an aviation field
for private airplanes.
Chief Wheeler is on his 21st year as head of the Police
Department. He is the first and only Chief of Police San
Carlos has ever had, for when the city was incorporated
August 1, 1925, he was made Chief of Police and the
Fire Department. But the town grew so fast that it was
soon apparent to everyone that the two jobs were too big
for any one man, no matter if he was as able and efiicient
as Ed Wheeler. He has a modernly equipped department
and he has the ability to study and grasp any and all

POLICE COMMUNICATION OFFICERS
ASSOCIATION
J. D. HossACK, President
R. E. M(X1RE, Secretary-Treasurer
The Northern Cahfornia Police Communication Offi-
cers' Association held its regular monthly meeting at Sac-
ramento on the 14th of Fehruar>', 1946, with E, Stewart
Naschke as host for the luncheon. Capt. Howland of the
Sacramento Signal Depot gave an interesting talk on
Army Surplus equipment and the method by which it is
disposed of hy the various government agencies concerned.
Capt. Howland invited any of the members to contact him
at the Signal Depot where he will assist in giving data on
nomenclature or description on desired equipment. Sal-
vage material is sold in job lots through the Sacramento
Signal Depot and is handled by Capt. Bell of the new
depot on Fruitridge Road in Sacramento, Captain How-
land stated that only a few complete items had been
released so far, but that such equipment may appear
around the first of July.
Following this interesting talk the remainder of the
guests and the members were introduced. The minutes of
the previous meeting were read and approved as read.
Henri Kirby read a report from Chas. Cross of the
C. W. Committee and gave some very interesting infor-
mation on the C. W. net operating in Oregon, Wash-
ington and the British Columbia Provincial Police,
A letter from San Mateo requesting a change of the
present assigned frequency of 1674 to either 1698 or 1706
kilocycles. This letter was referred to the frequency for
further study and recommendation.
Mott Brunton reported that Daly City had received
notification of clearance from this association for a fre-
quency of J9,7nO Kcs instead of 35,900 Kcs as requested.
On motion from Bogardus and seconded by Naschke the
secretary was instructed to advise Daly City that clear-
ance for a frequency of 35,900 kcs was approved.
Merrill LeBouef stated that his area was considering the
adoption of the 900 series code and requested a copy of
the code be sent him. Referred to the Code Committee
for further action.
Under new business. President Hossack announced the
appointment of the following committees: Interference

gart and E. W Lindfeldt. Guest Speaker Committee: E.

Articles APCO Bulletin, Henry Bogardus.
A discussion was held on the feasibility of holding the
business meetings in the morning preceding the luncheon
instead of afterwards. It was pointed out that such a pro-
cedure would inconvenience some due to the distance
traveled, but it was generally concurred in by the mem-
bers that it would facilitate the handling of more busi-
ness in the coming year.
On motion by George Burton and seconded by Herb
Watson, the members approved the morning meeting to
be made effective commencing with the next meeting to
be held at Santa Cruz.
The matter of guest speakers was brought up and it
was pointed out that most of the speakers available at
present, other than commercial representatives, arc now
usually asking a fee for their services. After discussion on
this matter, it was decided that the number of speakers
that are still to be had without cost were sufficient to
meet the present needs and the subject was tabled.
Burt Fielding of Motorola spoke briefly on the policy
of his company in recommending that small cities hold
in abeyance for the time being, the installation of new
radio equipment pending the settlement of new frequen-
cies under the proposed frequency allocation plan.
The meeting then was opened for general discussion.
Chief Don Wtxxl, in addition to offering his usual enter-
tainment, complimented the association for its fine record
of accomplishments in spite of the many and varied prob-
lems that have arisen during the past eight years.
Santa Cruz was selected as the next meeting place and
the meeting adjourned with no further business.

Jim Lewis then commented in general on the matter of
frequency clearances and stated that frequency clearances
granted by the NCPCOA were acceptable to the FCC
where the Association represents all stations concerned
within a radius of 40 miles of the station making the appli-
cation. Additional clearance however, must be obtained
from each station not NCPCO affiliated within this 40
mile radius. In connection with this matter the Secretary
was instructed to prepare a form letter which will be
distributed through the key men of each county to the
various law enforcement agencies for the purpose of
making an up to date survey on police radio activities and
obtain the necessary authorisation to represent the agency
when not a member of the association.
The code committee was active and reported that copies
of the code had been sent to Merrill LeBoeuf at Marys-
ville. Simpson said that Monterey County had adopted the
900 series code and would make it effective in that county
on April 1st. John Maxwell gave a few comments on the
tests made by Motorola at eBdford, Indiana. It was inter-
esting to note that there was little to choose from in the
three mobile bands since the signals were received with
about equal strength in all cases and when fading was en-
countered, each dropped out in about the same place. The
150 mc band v^jas more quiet than the two lower fre-
quencies however.
Interference from naval vessels was a matter of concern
to many of the members, not only around the Bay Area,
but extending along the coast and well up into the valley
area, due to the use of repeaters on mobile frequencies.
Lieutenant Schramm of the District Communication
Office, Twelfth Naval District, contacted your secretary
by telephone and offered the sen.'ices of the commandant
in suppressing such interference v^-hen originated by the
naval service. Reports of interference can be phoned
direct to naval headquarters in San Francisco by calling
MArket .i828, local 430 during working hours, or local
412 after hours. By promptly reporting this interference
the information can be acted upon immediately. Give as
much identifying information as possible, such as nival
call signs, name of vessel or voice call, the frequency and
time, plus any other identifying information from the

text of the conversation that will help. In addition to this.
Lieutenant Schramm has forwarded to the commander in
chief. Pacific fleet, a list of the frequencies employed by
the emergency service and has requested that these fre-
quencies he restricted from use by naval vessels and forces
while operating in the Bay Area or along the coast of
California.
The meeting recessed at 11:45 a. m. for luncheon with
Walter Keller and Chief Huntsman as our host. Follow-
ing this, the meeting was opened for general discussion by
members and guests. The next meeting will be held in San
Jose on April 1 1 th, with Henri Kirby of the San Jose
Police Department as the sponsor. Don't forget the joint
meeting to be held in Los Angeles on April 26th and 27th
with the CPRA and the demonstration of new radio
equipment by manufacturers.
The regular monthly meeting of the Northern Califor-
nia Police Communication Officers Association was held
at the City Hall in Santa Cruz at 10 a. m. on the 14th
day of March, 1946. The minutes of the previous meeting
were read and approved.
John Hartnctt of Burlingame gave a brief resume of the
meeting of the frequency committee where it was deter-
mined that Burlingame police would shift their central
station frequency from 33,100 kcs to 37,100 and San
Mateo police would shift their mobile frequency from
37,100 to 37,220 kcs. This will allow adjacent city opera-
tion with both cities employing the same frequencies. A
letter was then read from the City of San Mateo request-
ing clearance to shift their mobile frequency to 37,220 kcs.
Jim Lewis made a motion that clearance for this change
be granted and that the previous request for a change to
the low frequency band be denied. The motion was then
amended by John Hartnett to also grant clearance to the
City of Burlingame for the use of 37,100 kcs in lieu of
33,100 kcs at present. The motion was seconded by Walter
Keller and approved by a vote of the members.
A letter was received from the Nevada Peace Officers
Association, dated February 26th, requesting blanket
clearance for the use of 1674 kcs and 39,380 kcs for the
various law enforcement activities in the state of Nevada.
It is their plan to install 22 main stations and approxi-
mately 100 mobile units with FM. Art Sowle of Reno
stated that Indiana was the only other state using those
frequencies and that Indiana had granted clearance for
the use of the State of Nevada. No interference is con-
templated since few of the stations will be in use simul-
taneously. On a motion by Jim Lewis and seconded by
John Maybec, the request for clearance was approved.

Chief Johnson of Belmont
Page 33
Back in 1932 the City of Belmont found it had a
vacancy in its Police Department, that of Chief of Po-
lice. The city council did not want to go out of the city
to get a man to fill the important post and after looking
over the men suggested for the job they settled upon F. A.
Johnson, born in Belmont, and who was then engaged in
the operation of a garage. He was appointed and for 14
years he has served the people of Belmont in a manner that
would do credit to men trained in police work for long
years before he got to the top spot.
Belmont is a little city, four and a half miles square,
and today houses 3,500 well contented people.
One of the oldest cities on the Peninsula it has always
been a favorite location for home owners. Until recent
years it had no industries of any kind, the activities of the
community being made up of people who occupied homes
in the rolling hills west of the railroad tracks. Today it has
four sanitariums treating people for pulmonary ailments
and for mental diseases. From four to five hundred pa-
tients on the average are cared for at these sanitariums,
and with the excellent climate, and treatment accorded
by the operators of these hospitals recoveries are above the
average in similar institutions located elsewhere.
The Belmont Engineering Co. has a big plant in Bel-
mont, as has the Clarkson Co., and several other con-
cerns have opened up there and others are having build-
ings erected. The residential district is growing in pro-
portion.
Naturally all these increases have meant more work for
Chief Johnson and his force of Officers Dan Botto, Otto

Krutzer and John Stangus. The latter has just returned
from two years with the army radar service, spending most
of his time in the Aleutians.
However the records show that but little crime has
taken place in Belmont since Chief Johnson took over. A
few lesser burglaries, no murders, and a scarcity of rob-
beries.
He has seen the town increase by nearly 2000 people
since he became Chief of Police, and he has kept abreast
of this increase by improving his department. He has two-
way radio equipped patrol cars, that cover all the district
day and night. A lot of traffic passes through Belmont,
but the activities of the Police Department keeps down
accidents to a lower rate on the average for the state in
areas of comparable size.
Belmont's Mayor is James Furlong; Carl SchofF is police
commissioner and other councilmen are Harry Walden,
Alex Morrison and William Bartlett.
Miss Catherine Heartsner, the city clerk, is a young
lady on whom the other officials of the municipal govern-
ment depend a lot
Chief Johnson is married and the couple have a 20
year old son. The Chief is a member of the Bay Coun-
ties Peace Officer Association and of the Peninsula Police
Officers' Association and you will find him at most of the
meetings of these two organizations.

New Captain For San Mateo Police Dept.
In February Captain George Martin took his pension
from the San Mateo Police Department, after long years
of active service to the city he saw grow up. With his
retirement Chief Robert O'Brien put Martin McDonald,
who was on the Captain's list before he entered the
Chief Robert O'Brien
United States Navy some three years ago, and who re-
turned to duty as a police officer after serving two years
and eight months.
While with the Navy he was a shore patrolman, and
Inspector Thomas Connors
for over two years had the train detail, finishing out the
last six months of his hitch in San Mateo County.
Captain McDonald was born in San Francisco, but as a
child he moved with his parents to San Mateo, getting his
education there with a finishing cour.sc in Sacred Heart
High School in San Francisco.
He is married and the couple is very popular among the
citizens of the county's largest city.
Another matter pertaining to promotions that pleases
Chief O'Brien is that of Inspector Tom Connors. When
Chief O'Brien was selected to fill the vacancy of the late
Chief Thomas Burke, he was an Inspector, so about the
first thing he did on assuming his new office was to ele-
vate Officer O'Connor to the Inspectorship. The appoint-
ment was a temporary one for the charter called for an
examination for a permanent appointment.
Under the pension plan of the state for police officers
under which San Mateo County towns operate, the exam-
ination must be conducted under the directions of the
state. Written questions were provided by the state per-
sonnel board and the oral questions were furnished and
Captain Martin McDonald
the hearing on them by Chief Howard Zink of Palo Alto.
In a list of several candidates Inspector O'Connor j
placed number one, and is now all set for the job until he
makes up his mind to go out on a pension, which will bej
quite a spell from the way he is going.
Chief O'Brien, with a force of 23 members, is work
to get an additional nine more men, to keep up with the!
upsurge in population which has zix)med to an estimated
.^2,000, nearly 18,000 more than the census gave six
years ago.
While major crimes are showing no increase, he says
the calls for minor offenses are increasing, and as things
get stable with more people coming in he wants to have a
department able to cope with any emergency.

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO POLICE BUSY
When the war was over Chief of Police Louis Belloni
of South San Francisco figured his worries would he les-
sened considerably. With the Western Pipe and Steel
Shipbuilding subsiding, and with other plants engaged in
Chief Louis Belloni
war essentials being deprived of their market, he figured
the population would ebb.
But such has not been the case. While it is true Wes-
tern Pipe and Steel is now using about 4,500 men when
over 13,500 were employed at the peak of ship building,
Bethlehem Steel plant has an even larger number of em-
ployes working than during the war. Other industries have
not laid off great numbers of men, as they are reconvert-
ing back to their prewar activities.
A lot of people drawn to South San Francisco during
the big rush are staying there. True some of the building
of the housing project are emptying and will eventually
be torn down. However there is a building boom that
has been going on ever since the war ceased.
Two subdivisions are being opened up, one by Conway
and another by Barrett 6? Hilp, along Highway 101, one
is known as the Brentwood tract and the other Burri Burri.
When completed there will be 100 new homes for vet-
erans and their families.
New residences are going up all over the town, and
the population of 1 5,000 is steadily rising.
Chief Belloni and his force of 13 men have established
a fine record for enforcing the laws ever since the war
increased its population, industrial activities and building
program.
No murders, no robberies or manslaughter charges have
been made during the war years. Some burglaries, a few
drunk rollings and the run of the mill of petty offenses are
what has kept the boys of his department busy.
Chief Belloni knows that this condition may not last
and he is well prepared to meet any increase of crime.
Because of the expansion of residential areas he has intro-
duced a complete patrol of residential district from sunup
to sunup.
A new feature adopted by Chief Belloni is the instal-
lation of a 24-hour ambulance service. He has a tie in w/ith
the county service and owing to the numerous automobile
crashes this is a mighty handy arrangement. The ambu-
lances are equipped with two-way radio and can get to the
scene of an accident plenty fast, manned by a skilled crew
of medics and stewards.
Along Bayshore highway there passes through South
San Francisco some 25,000 automobiles from 7 a. m. to 7
p. m This great cavalcade calls for rigid attention by the
South City Police Department. That it gets this attention
is indicated by the small number of fatalities that occur in
the city limits of this highly traveled highway. With new
cars appearing on the roads, this number will be increased,
and so will the watchfulness of Chief Belloni and his
experienced force of officers.

So well did Chief Doran and his department handle the
past six months' labor troubles that both labor and man-
agement congratulated him and was given high praise by
Mayor W. R. Branscheid and his four fellow councilmen,
as well as City Manager Don C. McMillan.
In charge of the strike detail were Lieutenant Wend-
ling and Sergeant Sutherland.
In solving the juvenile delinquency and crime record of
boys and girls, Chief Doran wisely placed Patrolman Wil-
liam Hansen and Policewoman Cecelia Robinson in
charge.
"Theirs is a full time job, and they do conscientious
and outstanding work in handling juvenile offenders,"
says Chief Doran.
And Chief Doran added:
"Our chief purpose is crime prevention among juve-
niles. We have high hopes that our efforts will be suc-
cessful, based on the reports made by the full-time juvenile
detail from time to time."
When it is understood that the Encinal City has grown
from a small village among the oaks on an isolated spot
to a population of nearly 90,000, it is easy to understand
that Chief Doran faces a real problem in juvenile de-
linquency.

Chiefs.
FBI and Shooting Range
That his men may j;et complete training in all angles of
police work, Chief Doran has seen to it that the men
attended regular lectures and courses in the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation's study of the crime problem.
He is also insistent that his men learn how to shoot and
shoot accurately, how to understand the use of the pistol,
the gas gun, the riot gun.
The department maintains a shooting range on Bay
Farm Island across the bay straits at the Bay Farm Island
bridge. In charge is Captain John S. Strohm, retired,
U.S.A. with George Risso, veteran Alameda Police Officer
as instructors. The majority of the force have qualified or
on their way to qualify as experts, on not only the use
of the side-arm, but with rifles, shotguns and gas guns.
Identification Bureau, Record Room, Bicycle Detail
Compact are the activities of the identification bureau
under William T. Limbaugh and the man-of-all-work,
Harold Schmah, court bailiff, jailor and bookkeeper.
Here is found a daily record of all crimes, petty and
felony, dispositions of their court hearings and trials.
To keep the Alameda bicycle riders in line is Officer
Charles B Gully. His job is to register, license, and direct
the traffic of "bike" travel.
On top of this is a modern jail and a complete ambu-
lance service day and night.
So, all in all. Chief of Police George Doran really has
cause to be proud of his department.

Police Chiefs' Zone Meetings
Written for the Police and Peace Ogtcers Journal by Robert W. Kenny, Attorney General
The Police Chief in a small city has no frequent con-
tacts with anyone performing similar duties, or faced with
like prohlcms. True, he associates with men on his own
department, but their viewpoints are different from his
because they have no over-all responsibility. In his asso-
ciation with councilmen, the mayor, and city department
Attorney General Robert Kenny
heads, he is dealing with those whose experiences are vastly
different from those of a Police Chief. As to county offi-
cers, neither the sheriff nor the district attorney is gen-
erally concerned with the problems involved in maintain-
ing order; nor are they concerned with traffic control.
And the Highway Patrol captain, although responsible
for traffic control, is but little concerned in maintaining
order and preventing crime.
A chief of police is responsible for maintaining the
safety of every man, woman and child in his community.
He is responsible for the conduct of the officers on his
force. He is also responsible to peace officers in adjoining
communities for transmitting information and for the ap-
prehension of fleeing criminals.
A chief of police can be very much alone with his
responsibilities and duties. No other enforcement officer,
bearing a heavy burden of responsibility, makes so many
vital decisions without the benefit of conference.
Until January of this year, police chiefs throughout
the State had no opportunity to meet with one another.
While they attended peace officers' meetings at the county,
zone, or State level, they were dealing with officers having
a different background of experience and facing different
responsibilities. The chief of police and the constable have
little in common. The chief of police and the sheriff have
duties dissimilar in many respects.
One difficulty faced by a chief of police is in evaluating
the large amount of advice and suggestions from coun-
cilmen and other citizens. Many people with whom he
must remain on good terms in his community have de-
cided ideas as to how a police department should be run.
They criticize the methods of a chief; make recommenda-
tions to him, and insist that certain phases of law enforce-
ment take priority over others.
It is important that a chief stand his ground, yielding
to outside influence only when he is convinced that the
step he takes is in the public interest; yet he must be open
minded insofar as public opinion is concerned. He may be
persistent in his polices and convictions, yet he cannot but
be influenced by the pressure of repetition. Because he has
no contact with other chiefs, he is liable to doubt the wis-
dom of his own policies and efficacy of the course he is
pursuing. However, when he can meet informally with
other chiefs and discuss his problems, policies, practices,
and techniques, he gains self assurance. He develops a
better perspective as to public welfare and soundness of
his policies. Police chiefs' zone meetings provide opportu-
nity for this needed association and interchange of ideas.
In the 1945 legislative session, a bill was passed author-
izing the attorney general to call police chiefs in to meet-
ings for the purpose of discussing the duties of their
offices with the view to obtaining uniform and adequate
enforcement of laws throughout the State. The effect of
this Act, Penal Code Section 480, in addition to author-
izing the calling of such meetings, was to make attend-
ance a matter of official business and provide for payment
of expenses.
When this bill became effective, the Attorney General
decided to divide the State into ten zones. There are 280
police chiefs in the State and it would be manifestly im-
possible to hold one meeting and actually discuss with
individuals the duties of their offices. By dividing the
state into ten zones, the number of chiefs in attendance
at one meeting averages to be thirty. This is a small
enough group to make discussion possible and give all
a chance to be heard.
The language of the statute which authorizes meetings
"for the purpose of discussing the duties of their respective
offices" has been taken literally. No attempt is made to
school the chiefs of police or to lecture them. At the zone
meetings, in fact, no speeches are permitted. These law
enforcement executive officers are gathered around a table.
Someone from the Department of Justice presides and,
quickly passing around the table, gives each chief an op-
portunity to present any problem which is troubling him.
Not only does this provide agenda for the meeting, but it
gives the chiefs an opptirtunity to become better acquaint-
ed. One item usually develops to be a source of annoyance
to more than one chief. It is seized upon by the person
directing the meeting and made a subject for discussion.
The various chiefs are called upon to relate their experi-
ences with reference to the problem and their success in
employing practices tending toward solution.

It is probably well to be more specific at this point. A
chief of police from a small California city asserts that he
is having difficulty handling juvenile traffic offenders for
the reason that the juvenile court process is too complex.
He is particularly concerned with offenders who are un-
der 18 years of age and cannot be handled in police or
justice courts.
The assembled chiefs are individually asked to relate
their experiences in handling such matters. The first chief
says that despite the law he has been handling cases in
police court, but he refrains from asking the defendant
his age and permits the court to presume that the offender
is over 21. Another chief of police relates that he handles
these cases by means of informal probation, having the
child report to a designated officer in the police depart'
ment who makes orders for his future good behavior. A
third chief has attempted to handle these cases by filing
petitions in juvenile court, but finds the distance neces-
sarily traveled is making it impossible for his traffic offi-
cers to do anything else but handle a few children. Yet
another chief has worked with a judge who is impounding
vehicles.
No one person feels that the matter is being handled
satisfactorily. Out of the discussion comes a question as
to recently enacted legislation permitting the juvenile
court to appoint a referee. The law is looked up. It is
found that the juvenile court may appoint any police
judge or justice of the peace as referee to handle misde-
meanor cases of juveniles; although the referee's author-
ity is restricted so that he cannot commit a juvenile to an
institution, he can retain custody of him for six months
and makes orders for his future good behavior.
Certain of the chiefs leaving the meeting have decided
that they will handle children in the future on a method
of voluntary probation. Others have decided to start a
juvenile traffic school. Still others have decided to attempt
to have their local judge appointed a juvenile court ref-
eree. All of them have new light on the subject, and if
they have not found a solution, they have at least found
new avenues for approaching the problem.
This is typical. The handling of many problems dis-
cussed at police chiefs zone meetings. Some of the matters
which have come up for discussion during the first ten
meetings are listed below:
Public relations. Training officers to use the telephone
properly.
Handling Indian violators.
In-service training for patrolmen.
Practical means of obtaining sufficient appropriations
to operate a police department.
Confidential communications, and how a chief of police
can protect them.
The confidential nature of accident reports and when
the information must be divulged.
The problem of keeping children out of bars.
Enforcement of a recent amendment to Vehicle Code,
Section 502, which makes the suspension of an operator's
license mandatory upon conviction.
Gambling.
Prostitution.

All of these items have been brought up for zone meet-
ing discussions by chiefs of police who have left the meet-
ings with a clearer understanding of their duties and. the
limitations of their office.
The chief purpose of these meetings is fivefold:
( 1 ) To get better acquainted.
(2) To pool experience 4nd exchange ideas.
(3) To increase prestige.
(4) To develop security of tenure.
(5) To consider problems, act jointly and support one
another.

activity and also a means by which the local official can
make his voice heard. Certainly there is no better means
of arriving at an understanding than sitting down for dis-

cussion at :i table with persons having similar problems
and experiences.
From the State there have come no instructions, orders,
or directives. No one has been told what to do or how to
do it. In keeping with the complexity of cases, differences
in communities, and variation in personalities, no definitive
conclusions have even been sought. There is enough col-
lective experience at any one of the zone meetings to solve
the problems presented; there is enough skill to find the an-
swers. When a chief leaves these meetings his perspective
is clearer, evaluation of his own policies is sounder, and
knowledge of techniques is broader. As for the Attorney
General, he has merely arranged the meeting and directed
discussion in channels calculated to reveal knowledge as to
workable methods. And his awareness of what a police
chief has to face is sharpened to a point where he is less
liable to issue a dictum — predicated on erroneous assump-
tion of perfection and uniformity.
A Mutual Aid meeting of Chiefs of Police of Zone 4
was held in the State building of San Francisco March
14, 1946. Chief Charles W. Dullea was the host. Mem-
bers of Zone 4 chiefs are :

in force rely upwn these accurate records and have never
found them wanting.
Oakland Bureau Simplifies Code System
Oakland's able Chief Tracy is particularly proud of
the statistical bureau's simplification of the card index
code.
Here the even figures, 2, 4, 6 etc., which are punched
on the original arrest tabulation card, represent felonies
and the odd numbers misdemeanors.
It's a simple process to put the cards through the IBM
machine and find each and every felony and misdemeanor
spread out in orderly fashion.
The California State Bureau of Identification asked for
a monthly report of all arrests for felonies and a special
code was established for the State with a double check at
hand as developed by the Oakland statistical bureau.
Says Chief Tracy:
"Perhaps the most valuable report is that made regularly
giving statistics which reveal the beat, the hour, the place,
the character of the crime.
"This information is particularly valuable to the Cap-
tains of the various divisions and to the Captains of In-
spectors.
"By analyzing this report the captains can place the
^ manpower at those points where crime is most prevalent.
At the same time the investigators of the inspectors' bu-
reau are able to identify and classify the suspects through
their method of operations."
Modus Operandi Revealed
The tabulating system as operated under Mrs. Bickell's
guidance, not only reveals the time and place of the occur-
rence of crime, but minutely sets forth the modus oper-
andi. Criminologists long ago discovered that a criminal
generally uses the same methods be he a safe cracker, a
bandit, a burglar. Under the tabulating card index system
no detail of methods employed is overlooked.
Hospital reports, every arrest, juvenile citations are
coded and punched each day, then tabulated and regular
reports made to the chief of police with copies for the
various captains and divisions.
In summing up the story of the statistical bureau of the
Oakland police department:
The functions are those of compiling and analyzing
reports of offenses committed, reports of persons arrested
within the city — all by means of tabulating machines.
Classification of offenses follows the method adopted by
the uniform code records committee and approved by the
National Chiefs of Police Association.
Arrest reports are so designed as to contain all the

necessary information. Every effort has been made toward
standardizing the forms, both as to content and size.
Tabulating cards have been changed along with the re-
ports so that both follow the sequence as to information.
Instead of filing all offenses in one continuous file, they
are filed under separate index in these groups:
Arrests, stolen property (theft, burglary, robbery, lost
and found), stolen autos, stolen bicycles, checks, assaults,
miscellaneous offenses, vice, subversive activities, hospital
reports, deaths, attempted suicides, fires, etc.
All Are Coded and Tabulated
In other words, for every report filed in the record
room there is a duplicate of that report coded, punched
tabulated, and filed in the statistical bureau, available at
a moment's notice.
Monthly reports of the statistical bureau are many and
varied, including:
Return of offenses known to police to the U. S. Bu-
reau Criminal Investigation (FBI) along with homicide
reports, felony arrests to the State Bureau of Criminal
Identification and investigation.
To the City Manager report of all offenses, value
stolen, recovered and per cent, arrests and clearances,
vehicle accidents.
To the Chief of Police report of all arrests classified
as to crimes, age, sex, race along with investigations.
Annual reports also are prepared for the FBI, the State
Bureau of Identification and the Chief of Police.
Special reports of various types are continually being
gotten out by the bureau, not only for Oakland, but other
police departments, as well as federal and state law en-
forcement agencies.
There are six regular employes in Oakland's pohce
statistical bureau: Mrs. Bickell, in charge; tabulator oper-
ator, Mrs. Nola Martuson; statistical clerks, Mrs. Marian
Schwartz, Mrs. Loraine Holein and key punch operators,
Mrs. Lorraine Norman and Mrs. Adelle Phillips.

city hall, turned over to the exclusive use of the Police
Department. At the present time it houses the Home
Front News, which during the war sent out weekly news
papers to 3,500 members of the armed forces scattered
throughout the world. This activity is being gradually
wound up. Then too, it gives headquarters to the Shore
Patrol, which is about to end its work in San Mateo.
When the change is made the Police Department offices
will be moved to the second floor, and the city jail will be
completely changed over. In a recent investigation by the
FBI, Chief O'Brien was given high praise for the manner
he has been conducting the Police Department, but the
FBI boys found a sour note in the city jail. And well they
might, for it is very antiquated, having been erected some
40 years ago.
Traffic, like in all California towns, gives Chief O'Brien
plenty of work. How violations of traffic law are increas-
ing he points out that for all of 194^ the amount of
money collected in fines totalled $12,000. For the first
three months this year the amount collected is $'>,000.
During the racing seas<-)n at Bay Meadows Chief O'Brien
has additional men to lotik after. He is charged with the
security of the popular racing strip, and has an average of
41 men engaged as special policemen. Of these 15 are
assigned to the bam areas, and he says that for the ex-
ception of a very small number the men, who look after
the horses, are as fine a law abidnig group as you will
find in any other business.
He selects the greater part of his special force from
permanent residents of San Mateo. They are all screened
and must come up to a high point in good citizenship.
He assigns regular men to handle the enlarged traffic fol-
lowing the end of the races each day, and on special
occasions he calls on the Police Department of neighboring
cities. San Francisco assigns two experienced bunco and
pickpocket men for the duration of each racing meet.
From all outside officers he says he gets the swellest coop-
eration.
There is also a special detail of former FBI agents, who
l(K)k out for bookmakers.
San Mateo is a growing city and its law enforcement
is keeping pace with its many expansions.

where he took the severe course provided by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation under the direction of John Edgar
Hoover.
While now and then Hillsborough breaks out with a
crime that makes front pages in the metropolitan press,
you will find that the strictly residential little city ad-
joining Burlingame is mighty free from crime.
During the years he has been head of the Police De-
partment since the retirement of Chief Hirschey, the de-
partment has been improved. It has radio equipped cars
to cover the many miles of rolling roads of the city, and
he has promoted many other changes that makes his little
department a splendid one.
He has given the town the best in police protection, and
has not left the study and mastering two-way radio to
the men under his command. It is doubtful if there is any
man now serving as radio technicians who are better
informed of this magic communication method than Hills-
borough's Police Chief.
He has the ability to absorb all the technical knowledge
two-way radio poses, and he is able to impart the knowl-
edge gained to any audience of interested men.
Wherever there is a meeting which an officer of the
law is apt to pick up a little more knowledge of law en-
forcement, you will find Chief Wisnom right among
those present.
Chief Wisnom is a good chief of police and Hillsbor-
ough is indeed fortunate to have such a capable official
looking after the safety of its people.

President King u-as then escorted to the rostrum and
congratulated by Carherry for the highly eflBcicnt manner
he had discharged the important duties of his office during
the past term.
Then the newly elected president, James J. McGovern
was brought forth and duly placed into his new position,
but before he turned the gavel over to President Mc-
Govern, Carberry pointed out to those in attendance that
the purpose of the assosciation was to unite the members
of the Police Department so they could better protect their
civil service rights and in promoting efficiency and the
good name of the department.
One of President McGovem's first acts in assuming the
office was to call upon former Police Officer Carberry to
present a gift to the outgoing president. The gift was a
check for $50 and in making it Carberry told Junior Past
President King that he had received the cooperation of
the heads of the Police Department, of the Police Com-
mission. That he had been instrumental in putting over
the pay raises for {X)lice officers, thus helping the families
of those men, totaling over 1,.^00.
"During your term you have added to the association's
growth and increased the respect of the public," said
Carberry in closing his presentation speech.
King responded in a sincere way and assured the mem-
bers he would continue to promote the interests of the
Police Department.
First Vice President Marcelli said he was mighty proud
to serve as an officer of the association and of being in-
stalled by Carberry, who has had so much to do with the
organization and the success that has marked the few years
it has been in existence. He urged all members, and espe-
cially new members, to make suggestions by letter or in
open meetings for the betterment of the association.
Second Vice-President Curtin made a talk that showed
just what the association has done for the personnel of
the department, and especially for the 200 and more men
who served with the armed forces.
He said that the men who stayed behind were more
worthy of praise because of their industry and accomplish-
ments in making this a better police job. In 1941 he en-

tered the service, at that time a patrolman was making
$200 a month. There was no basic work week, and when
a man retired he was too old to enjoy his pension.
During the time he was in the service, this association
was born, and upon his return he found that the men who
had stayed behind, had been working in his interest and
the interest of all police officers and has made the job of
being a policeman more attractive. He pointed out the in-
creases of pay that has been granted by the people since
he left for the war, as well as good retirement pension
and basic work week.
Treasurer Comber said in part, when called upon :
"In the past our association has been iield together
mainly by political considerations. When there was no
political interest affecting the Police Department, interest
lagged. We should be more than a political pulse. It is
time some serious thought be given to the development
of a rounded program, one that will maintain interest and
enthusiasm all year. It is time to strengthen our organisa-
tion. A number of suggestions have been made. Some of
those suggested include:
"An annual social similar to the Victory social held last
year; an annual picnic; card games; Christmas tree party
for children of members; sports, baseball, golf, bowling,
and so on."
At the suggestion of the speaker the President referred
this matter to the board of directors, who will make a
study of the program and draw up plans to stimulate in-
terest among the membership. This will be brought up at
the next regular meeting.
Vice-President Marelli reminded the members that the
past services of the outgoing treasurer, Henry M. Schut-
zer, deserved high praise; that he has served in the capacity
of treasurer since the assosciation was organized, and has
done a splendid job; that he has been custodian of funds
and collections long before the association was founded,
and during all that time the interest of the men of the
Police Department were Schutzer's first concern.
The applause that met this short speech showed the
members were in hearty accord with the vice-president's
remarks and were thankful for a job well done.
There are a few members of the department who have
not joined the association and President McGovern said
it would be his aim and he hoped all others of the associa-
tion would join in, to bring the membership up to 1009^.

mcnts of Education have offered to establish police schools
and train police officers as instructors, who would in turn
establish educational programs for their departments and
act as qualified instructors.
In this highly competitive era, an untrained police offi-
cer will not he able to keep pace with his fellows and
will never advance beyond the lower ranks.
Some police administrators feel that the residential re-
quirement demanded by some cities of candidates for
admission to the police service is a barrier against obtaining
the best available material because such a requirement
narrows the field of choice. This phase of recruitment is
highly controversial and there are just as many sound argu-
ments in favor of the residential requirement as there are
against it.
This- is a matter that should be left to the individual
communities and a community that wishes to go afield for
its police personnel may do so, but it should not try to
impose its ideas upon the larger cities, which can find a
sufficient number of candidates among their citizens. In
many communities which experienced a tremendous influ.x
of migrants during the past two years and their police
departments were stripped of men, if it were not for the
residential requirement, the departments would have been
overloaded with undesirable material and to the detri-
ment of good policing.
We are all agreed upon the necessity of police train-'
ing and it is recommended that the Police Training Com-
mittee of the International Association of Chiefs of Po-
lice be continued and that they make every effort to
extend the present training program to every police de-
partment in the United States and that special emphasis
be made on the necessity of a Crime Prevention and Juve-
nile Delinquency program being established.
Colleges and universities should be asked to set up
police training programs and encourage their students to
enter the law enforcement field.
In our enthusiasm for technical education for the police
officer we must not he led astray from the fact that we
want policemen and neglect the physical requirements
necessary for an efficient officer. In the time of stress and
strain and strife we need muscular ability as well as
knowledge of the duties of the position, and depart-
ments will not be able to cope with serious trouble.
The very fact that the subject of post-war unemploy-
ment is being made the foremost topic of discussion by
leaders of industry, labor unions, governors and mayors,
civic leaders and persons keenly interested in the problem
is sufficient for police administrators to take cognizance

of the situation. It is all the more necessary for us to rec-
ognise unemployment as a certainty on account of the
opposing opinions of the experts. Some hold to the view
that there will be employment for all and that the con-
version of industry from the production of materials essen-
tial for the prosecution of war to peace time activities will
he a comparatively orderly process and in step with the
military demobilisation plan. Others, viewing the future
in the light of the past, predict widespread unemploy-
ment caused by the cancellation of war contracts and the
consequent throwing out of work of millions of men and
women and this combined with the release of 11,500,000
men in the armed services to civilian life will cause an un-
employment situation unparalleled in this country's his-
tory.
Tens of thousands of the boys who were inducted into
the armed services directly from high schools and who
were never gainfully employed will be unwilling to resume
their educational activities and will be seeking employ-
ment. Women who are employed in capacities never before
contemplated will be unwilling to relinquish their jobs in
favor of the men and resume their positions in the domes-
tic life of the nation. Consider also the women in the
armed services. They will likewise probably seek employ-
ment away from the home.
This brief glimpse into the future is suliiciently alarm-
ing to police departments to make them aware of the con-
sequences of such a condition and take steps to meet it.
Such conditions will cause social upheavals which lead to
civil and racial disturbances and it is well to consider
this phase of the problem at this time.

ATHERTON'S POLICE DEPARTMENT
Since December 28. 1930, Chief John E. Farrell has
been in charge of Atherton's PoHce Department, and he
has done a mighty swell job in giving police protection to
this favored residential community of the Peninsula.
He has seen the town grow from some 1,500 to an esti-
mated population, now of 2,500. He has seen it grow from
a couple of hundred attractive residences of successful
business men, industrialists, capitalists and retired pros-
perous men of the Bay Area, to a place that today boasts
of 780 homes, and more under construction. You will find
in Atherton no problem for those agencies dealing with
slum clearances so prevalant in various cities throughout
the land. For there is nothing that suggests a run down
area. From the palatial homes of landed estates to the vine
covered cottages of the less wealthy, you will find a place
of residence that the owners keep in a high state of attrac-
tiveness.
Its five square miles of area is transversed by three
main highways, and the automobile traffic on these three
roads furnishes the bulk of the work for the Police De-
partment, which, besides Chief Farrell, consists of Offi-
cers Leroy Hubbard, Peter Bolich and Claude Swayne.
Yet this hazard only produces around 150 accidents a
year, and the records show these accidents produce but
one fatality.
There are but few business concerns in Atherton and
such law breaking that occurs is confined to homes, and
because of the complete patrol the Chief gives the city
there are no robberies or burglaries or assaults.
In his annual report for 1945, Chief Farrell shows but
forty cases that called for investigation, 45 citations were
issued for traffic violations and 46 arrests were made for
the same type of offenses. During the year his department
served 17 warrants for outside cities, and that his radio-
equipped cars covered 64,191 miles during the year. The
department handled nearly 8,500 phone calls and radio
cars handled 1,459 broadcasts.
Chief Farrell is a strong advocate of proper training of
men charged with the enforcement of the law. His small
force have all completed courses conducted by the San
Matec Police Academy, established last year. Each man
took 20 hours of time to this training and the present year
will spend 40 hours in improving their knowledge of law
enforcement.
Officer Hubbard has been a member of the Atherton
Police Department for over 16 years, and he is an able and
studious officer of the law. He is now treasurer of the
Peninsula Police Officers' Association, and is filling the
job and well that Chief Theuer of Burlingame filled since
the formation of the organization.
James B. Howell is mayor of Atherton, Robert W.
Weber Police Commissioner and the city council i.< filled

Praise Letters to Chief Dullea
The tollowini; communications have hecn received hy
Chief Charles W. Dullea :
"F. W. Spencer and other post office inspectors have in-
iormed me of the valued assistance afforded them by your
department during the past holiday period with view to
protecting the large volume of Christmas mails handled
in San Francisco. The inspectors advise that your officers
were especially cooperative and that the assistance rend-
ered by them resulted in less complaints of depredations
on Chrismas mails than heretofore. This is a good record
and I hope it will continue. I am mindful of the excellent
cooperation our service receives from your department
and I hope you will always feel free to call on me when-
ever the Inspection Service may be of assistance to you.
C. W. Pfaffenberger,
Inspector in Charge,

our totals would not have been possible were it not for
the wholehearted support you gave us. Best personal
regards.

CAPTAINS' POLICE COMMENDATIONS
The following reports for commendation of officers have
K-en received from their respective company commanders.
They have hcen approved and Captains concerned have
personally commended the officers mentioned in these re-
ports, for efficient police services rendered:
"I wish to call your attention to Miscellaneous Report
submitted on Friday, February 22nd, 1946, in which two
men were arrested by Officer Robert Davis, Mission Po-
lice District:
"At 4:40 A. M., Friday, February 22, Officer R. Davis
observed Wm. Gianondias and Bernard Micheletti tam-
pering with an auto on 12th and Market streets. On fur-
ther investigation, this auto was found to contain miscel-
laneous auto accessories and tools and on instructions from
this station. Officer Davis went to Micheletti's apartment
and recovered a quantity of auto accessories, cameras and
other property, some of which had been stolen from an
automobile which was the property of a San Francisco
Examiner photographer. These men have a long criminal
record of crimes committed and by Officer Davis being
alert and attentive to duty in making this arrest, he no
doubt prevented further law violation on the part of these
two arrrested men. I therefore recommend that Officer
Robert J. Davis be commended by you in orders for this
efficient police service.
—Alex E. McDaniell, Capt. of Police. #20.V"

and found in the rear of The Trading Post." located at

question. They had already broken the rear window by
throwing a flower pot through it. A check of The Trad-
ing Post" was made and nothing was missing. The defend-
ants gave the following names: Alex Lisitsin. native of
China; Benny Abarca. In searching these culprits, the
following property was recovered and Kioked as evidence :
One S8 caliber Smith d' Wess<5n revolver, which had pre-
viously been taken from the show case at 'The Trading
Post.' In the back yard where the defendants were appre-
hended, the officers found: One fiYz inch dagger and
holster, one automatic pistol, blue steel with empty clip,
and a glass cutter. The diligence shown by these officers
resulted in the arrest of K)th these young men. I wish to
state that when the officers arrived at this lixration, they
immediately covered in on the suspects who they appre-
hended on the rear of the building, I believe that these
officers, not knowing who they were pursuing, other than
prowlers, sh(»wed bravery as well as involving risk of life
in the performance of police duty. I want to commend
these officers for their unquestionable act of bravery in
carrying out their performance of police duty. The auto-
matic pistol was taken in a burglary on Monday, February
2^, 1946. in this place of business, where a large assort-
ment of rifle sights, etc., were taken. This arrest will close
in on the Mexican bunch that has been for some time
carrying on various types of crime in this city. The officers
from the burglary detail are still checking records. An-
other job well done!

chased the men and apprehended one in a lot in the

"Investigation showed that the automobile was the prop-

POLICE AND PEACE OFFICERS' JOURNAL
April. 1946
Virgil Bakulich, Retired S. F. Police Inspector
One of San Francisco's most colorful, efficient and
courageous police officers, who served in the San Fran-
cisco Department from July 11, 1894 to March 19, 1919,
is completing for publication a hook entitled "The Flight
of My Days," which could well he titled '"The Recollec-
tions of a San Francisco Policeman."
This former police officer is Virgil N. Bakulich, who
now with his wife, resides in San Jt>se.
A giant of a man, standing 6 feet 4j/2 inches when he
Virgil Bakulich
joined the department. Virgil Bakulich was a most impos-
ing figure. A native of Dalmatia, Yugoslavia, he left that
country in 1881 and in due time arrived in California,
then teeming with miners and the usual camp followers
of this viKation.
He was the most able linguist the department has ever
had, speaking, reading and writing Greek, Russian, Sla-
vonian, Italian, German and English.
During his service as a police officer he figured in the
capture of many hardened criminals and solved many
crimes, all of which are ahly presented in his autobiog-
raphy.
To give an idea of the contents of his forthcoming book
we will present many of the most important topics he has
prepared after careful research and from his personal diary
of events that occurred in his life that few men have occa-
sion to experience :
A preface of his autobiography in which he tells of his
parents, his native country, its antiquities, of the philhar-
monic and philanthropist Dalmation Dolphin, of the visit
of Emperor Franz Joseph to Dalmatia in 1869, and of his
departure for America in 1881.
He tells of the gold fever that drew his father to Cali-
fornia and how his father lost his life by drowning in the
Lincoln Mine, Amador County.
Hi.s arrival in C.ilifornia w-is the beginning of many
hair-raising escapes and a series of pers<inal attainments
in law enforcement and athletics.
He tells of his narrow escape after falling down a 1100
foot mining shaft in Plymouth, Calif., shortly after arriv-
ing in this country.
He moved to Sonora, Tuolumne County in 1885, and I
two years later found $^,000 in gold in a gold ptKket on
Brown's Flat.
He tells of many escapes from cave-ins, falls and blast-
ing. Also he recites the instance where he prevented a tar
and feather party in 1888.
He sets forth how he left the mining country in 1889,
and came to San Francisco, and one of the first things he
did was to find $47^ in a lavatory at 131 Eleventh Street.
He joined the Olympic Club, and as a novice won the
coast championship for tossing the ^6-pound weight. At ^

SAN BRUNO POLICE HEROES
I Continued from page 26)
Officer Pickett approached the driver of the stopped
car, at the same time the driver got out. Pickett took a
look in the rear and saw something that looked suspicious.
Sergeant Cunningham also got out of his car and ordered
a second man in the other car to get out and walk in front
of the car so the lights would fall on him. This man got
out all right, but he held a gun in his hand. Officer Pickett
saw the gun and shouted a warning at Sergeant Cunning-
ham, but too late for the thug opened fire, sending a bul-
let into the officer's right hand and another in his abdo-
men. The would-be murderer levelled his gun on Officer
Pickett, shooting the flashlight out of the latter's hand.
But Sergeant Cunningham was game and able to come
up with his gun and let a few slugs go into the crook as he
was dashing from the scene.
Three hours later the assailant was found in a neigh-
boring yard bawling for help with a bullet hole below
his right shoulder blade. He was scooped up by Sergeant
H. M. North and Officer C. Fernandez and taken to
the South San Francisco Hospital. Sergeant Cunningham
was taken to Mills Memorial Hospital, San Mateo, where
he remained for several weeks, and it will be over a year
before he can return to work.
The car the killer, whose name is Milton Emerson
Winchell and a two-time loser, was registered to Ernest L.
Englund, Jr., who escaped during the shooting.
Checking motor vehicle records, his signature on a
traffic tag issued to him for a traffic violation the day
before. Chief Maher found Englund had been playing the
night life of San Francisco, that he had fallen in with
Winchell and the two of them had burglarized the Alba-
tross restaurant and bar, il9 El Caniino Real, by forcing
an entrance and made off with $150 in cash and two sacks
of whiskey, the latter being found in the abandoned car.
In possession of the name of the second man in the
case. Chief Maher put out an all points bulletin and in a
few days he received a letter from the mother of Eng-
lund, who resides in a Wisconsin town, setting forth that
the boy had always been a law-abiding citizen and she
wanted to know more of the details. Chief Maher replied
with a letter in which he pointed out, if her son had no
past record the best thing he could do would be to turn
himself in, as this would be most favorable to his case.
The young sprout evidently kept in touch with his mother,
for on February 17 a teletype was received from Sheriff
Robert W. Ware of Imperial County, that Englund had
lurrendered to his office.
Sergeant North and Officer Fernandez drove to El
Centro and returned him to Redwood City, where he,
with Winchell, are held awaiting trial on a burglary
ind murderous assault charge voted in an indictment by
he county grand jury.
On his way to the hospital Winchell, who thought he
was going to die, stated in reply to the question why he
ihot the officers: "What! With that stuff in the car, with
1 gun on me and a record. I guess I could have got them
f I had waited, as they were too far apart when I started
:o shoot.""
A pretty sentiment, we should say, and it's too bad that
Winchell is practically well while Sergeant Cunningham
will probably never fully recover from the injuries he
received in line of duty.
Both Pickett and Cunningham have been highly
praised for heroic work, and Chief Maher has reasons
to feel proud of the men of his department who take
their duties so seriously.

THE CANDID FRIEND
By QpiE L. Warner
In this issue it gives me pleasure, in my candid friend
column, to qui>te former Chief of Police James T. Drew of
a,k!and «nd secretar>-treasurer of State Peace Officers
Ass.Kiation. and known for years in p*)lice circles, both
throughout California and at national conventions as an
outstanding pol''--«; ''*<:'=»• ^" =>" address, covering the
many angles of modern p.l.cing. Chief Drew has the fol-
lowing to say on the attributes of a good policeman:
"A large part of a man's success is due to his appear-
ance, and an alert officer with a gcxxl posture in a well-
fitting uniform has no mean attribute for success in han-
dling large groups of citizens, but. the officer must have
something more than dress on the ball to hold his position
of leadership in a crowd. Good judgment is indispensable
on all .Kcasions, and without it an officer is practically
useless, for the majority of people in the United States
have a fair education and have an independence second
to none in the world. The attributes of a good policeman
are legion, but among the principal ones. I might say, he
should have a burning love for his work.
"An officer coming into a police department should
come with unblemished character, a clean mind in a sound
KnJy, and the usual attributes of a leader among men.
He should be a student in his private life and a teacher
in public. His meth.xl of living should be simple, with due
regard to keeping his Uxly in continued gixxl condition.
Among the first attributes inherent, or otherwise acquired
before entering a police department, an officer must be
honest, sober, morally and physically brave, and not afraid
to work. If he does not possess the attribute of loyalty it
must be instilled in him— he must K: taught to be observ-
ing in the proper way, and courtesy must be developed to
the nth degree.
"If I may be permitted. I would like to say that I am a
firm believer in loyalty. I am strong for. and .idmire. the
man that is loyal to his executive only when the executive
is right, because if the executive expects to have the loy-
alty of the subordinate when he is not right, then you
would have two or more men that are wrong.
"An officer must be trained to render first aid in all
cases of injury. He must see and undcri^tand all sides of
life, and appreciate human frailty, and he must not hesi-
tate to sacrifice himself to serve at any time of need. An-
other thing, the speech of an officer is important. He should
learn the art of silence.
"I might go on indefinitely, but an officer possessing
half of the foregoing attributes will be an officer of whom
the department will be proud, and whom the community
will respect. A department composed of such men will
win the praise of the best people, and will be given any-
thing within reason by the citizens they serve."

ed and cases prepared for trial. A mcK>t court is then held
and the arresting and investigating officers present their
cases. A member of the district attorney's staff prosecutes
the case, a department attorney acts for the defense and a
superior court judge sits on the bench. After the case is
disposed of, a critique is conducted in which mistakes arc
discussed and technique explained. There is hardly a doubt
that the police officer receives a better criminal law course
than the graduate attorney. As the whole legal structure
is composed of professional men, it is a sound principle
that the police officer who sets the wheels of law in mo-
tion should be equally well trained in his phase of the
operation.
All of the latest teaching methods, such as lectures, con-
ferences, and participation are utilized at the Academy.
Full use is also made of training films, slides, graphs and
charts. The entire curriculum is based upon a job analysis
of a patrolman's duties and what he should know in order
to fulfill them.
A faculty of 114 instructors presenting 173 subjects
over a period of four months provides a well-rounded and
complete course of training for the San Francisco police
recruit. There are three factors which determine the
standing of the school. The quality of the staff, the sub-
jects of the curriculum and the length of the course. It
may well be said that the San Francisco police recruit is
the best trained police officer in the United States.

SPRING HOUSECLEANING
IS ^a/Ue^ WITH
HOT WATER
Whether you have a one-room
apartment or a twelve-room house,
you will save time and energy if you
do your housecleaning with plenty
of piping hot water. Dirt and grease
just melt away . . . kitchens, wood-
work and curtains are brighter,
cleaner, and stay that way longer.
"You never miss hot water 'til
the tap runs cool" is a modern prov-
erb we all should remember. Tomor-
row's homes will demand more and
more hot water. That automatic
washer you are dreaming about and
that new kitchen servant — the dish-
washer— will overburden a small
water heater.
The carefully - planned sizing
chart below will guide you in your
choice of a water heater of adequate
size. If your present one does not
meet these standards, ask your
dealer or plumber about the many
advantages of a modern, streamlined
water heater. Remember: it's smart
to keep in hot water!

LAW ENFORCEMENT AND
VENEREAL DISEASE CONTROL
By Ch.arles W. Dulle.^', to San Francisco Branch of American Social Hygiene Association
The title of the subject which has been assigned to me
for discussion is "Law Enforcement and Venereal Disease
Control," and in preparing this paper, I am moved to view
the first five years of effort in dealing with this problem as
the "First Five Year Plan," and to briefly review what
Chief Ch.\rles W. Dlllea
has been accomplished before we embark on the "Second
Five Year Plan." It is well for us to make a candid
appraisal of the situation and if our program has not
been entirely successful, we must cast out that which
is useless and adopt other methods, which will bring the
results we are all striving for, namely, the elimination as
tar as possible of venereal diseases.
At the outset it is well to recognize that the responsi-
bilities of law enforcement in the health protection pro-
gram has been set out in Section 6 of the agreement,
known as the "Eight Point Agreement," which was
drawn up and adopted by the Surgeons General of the
Army, Navy and Public Health in 1939, and which
reads in part:
"The local Police Department is responsible for the
repression of commercialized and clandestine prostitution.
The local Health Department, the State Health Depart-
ment, the Public Health Service, the Army and the Navy
will cooperate with local police authorities in repressing
prostitution." Let us start at that point.
Early in 1941 and before our entrance into the war,
houses of prostitution were closed in San Francisco by
the Police Department. About the same time the Social
Protection Division of the Federal Security Agency was
set up in this city under the leadership of J. Edwin Cooley,
and that Agency working in cooperation with the Police
Department eflFectively stamped out commercialized pros-
titution.
So well was the work done that by December of 1941
we achieved an all-time low of 148 reported cases of infec-
tious venereal diseases for that month. Then came the war
and with it the thousands of ser\'ice personnel and those
engaged in war work. Their entrance was reflected in the
rise of reported infections so that in December, 1942, the
number of reported cases arose to 568.
We in law enforcement watched with alarm the steady
increase, and we redoubled our activities, but despite our
efforts the rise continued. Emergency legislation was
adopted by the Board of Supervisors which made it an
offense for any person to aid, ab<t or assist in any manner
the commission of any act which would lead to a viola-
tion of the laws prohibiting prostitution and related of-
fenses. The existing laws were studied and all possible
loopholes were plugged up. New detention facilities were
provided and provision was made for a separate Woman's
Court where the arrested women were given individual
attention with a view of rehabilitation, redirecrion and
treatment. Special police squads w<re organized and ar-
rests increased. In short, w^ were witnessing intense police
activity, but the venereal rate continued to rise, until the
Pagf 4
POLICE AND PEACE OFFICERS' JOURNAL
May. 1946
present moment we find ourselves confronted with a figure
of 754 cases of venereal infection reported for the month
of January, 1946. That, in brief, is the picture. In spite
of our genuine efforts to reduce venereal disease, we find
ourselves now faced with more than five times the num-
ber of cases reported as compared with December, 1941.
This leads us to ask what is wrong and what are we going
to do about it? Let me make some observations from a
law enforcement officer's viewpoint.
All of the authorities agree that sexual promiscuity is
the most vital factor in the spread of venereal disease,
which is just another way of stating that the indulgence
of illicit sex relations is the main cause of spreading this
disease. This means that the problem is primarily not a
matter of medicine, but one of law and of morals. During
the past five years we have listened to experts lecturing
on the problem of social diseases and they all agree that
to successfully combat the spread, we must have the co-
operation of the home, church, sch(K)l, law enforcement,
medical and social agencies. This is true, but how far have
we carried out our statements and promises? Here we are
engaged in discussing one of the important phase.s of our
community life and probing deep into the problem from
the medical, law enforcement and educational point of
view, but where are the exponents of the moral side of
the problem?
We claim to have arrived at a point where the words
syphilis and gonnorrhea can be used without shocking
the public, but I am afraid we have not mustered up
enough courage to strike at the root of the evil by boldly
denouncing sex promiscuity and prostitution. The failure
to recognize the moral side indicated that this phase of
the program will continue to be treated in a very minor
role, and I feel that such action would be unworthy of the
high goal we are striving to reach. In other words, contin-
ency and chastity should be represented and advocated as
having an important place along with other factors as a
method of effectively controlling venereal disease. We
cannot substitute hygiene for morality, and any attempt
to evade the moral issue, or pass it over lightly, is bound
to end in tragedy.
I know that we in law enforcement are far from per-
fect in our methods of pnxredure. and are often subjected
to just criticism, but it must be remembered that too often
we are required to shoulder the entire blame for condi-
tions detrimental to public welfare. As the head of a de-
partment which has lent its full efforts in the repression
I if prostitution, I feel compelled to comment on a proce-
dure which imfKiscs a definite handicap on us in com-
batting the evil involved.
It has been the practice, when a source of infection is
made known to the Health Department, for that Depart-
ment to try and locate the subject and place her under
treatment without informing the Police Department. If
they are not succes.sful in establishing the identity of the
person sought, the case is then referred to the Police De-
partment and in many cases by that time the suspect has
taken alarm and moved to another location. Tliis method,
even though well intcntioncd, is highly unsatisfactory to
Police Officers. The Health Department views a female
who is suffering from a venereal disease as being a "sick"
person, who should not be confined nor questioned by the
police if she will accept provisional quarantine. We may
well agree with the first contention, but we are unaltef'
ably opposed to the second and third.
Law enforcement officers believe that where a woman
has become a source of venereal infection, that information
should be given to the Police Department so that an inves-
tigation may be made and if the facts warrant, she should
be arrested and charged with a violation of the law
which covers her offense. I know that this statement will
meet violent opposition and the old charge that all we
will succeed in doing is to chase the prostitute and seagull
from our community to another one. Experience, how
ever, teaches us that if our program is universally fol'
lowed, we would eventually chase her out of her illegal
calling and compel her to engage in a legitimate endeavor.
In the suppression of this type of crime there is no sub'
stitute for go<xl old-fashioned law enforcement with the
Courts, District Attorney and Probation Officers doing
their full duty.
There can be no question as to the enthusiasm with
which all agencies entered the campaign of repression of
commercialized vice. An appeal was made that it was a
patriotic effort and that the preservation of the health of
the service men was of paramount importance. It was
stressed that the issue was to be fought along these linef
and that while morality was desirable, nevertheless the
question of decency was not raised for fear of alienating
some groups who were not in sympathy with that ap-
proach. We all remember the ever present threat of put'
ting an area "off limits" and places of bu.siness out of
hounds. All opposition was swept aside and none dared
to openly oppose the program, and as a result, the house*
of prostitution disappeared and the venereal rate declined.
But we did not hold that position long. The prostitute
transferred her activities to the bars and taverns or sought
her customers on the streets. Teen age girls soon came
into the picture as well as the class of women who follow
the service men around the country. I
These women were arrested when found and they were
dealt with by the Courts. The Board of Health spear*
headed the drive and quarantine laws were applied to all
females who were reasonably suspected of being infected.
The enemy was being put to flight, but judging by preser
statistics not for long.
The approved technique of arrest, detention and prosc^
cution followed the pattern which was evolved through
series of meetings between Federal, State and local autl
orities and various Civil, Military and Public Health
partments. In all of these meetings the Health authoritiet'
succeeded in having their approach to the problem pre'
vail and then as now it was decided to treat venereal di»'
ease as a medical problem, and while law enforcement had
its place in the picture, nevertheless the program of re*
habilitation and redirection was to be .substituted for jail
sentences. We viewed this procedure rather warily, but
after all the object to be achieved was the important thing,

GOVERNOR WARREN PEACE OFFICERS' FRIEND
Governor Earl Warren, running for re-election in the
Republican and Democratic primaries of June 4, has long
been a friend of the peace officer.
On numerous occasions he has given public recognition
to our achievements, particularly during the trying days
Governor Earl Warren
of war when police organizations were undet'Staffed and
the strain of enforcement was most severe.
It will be recalled that in Salinas, in October of last
year. Governor Warren stated that an Army-Navy "E"
award should be given the peace officers of the State for
their wartime services.
The Warren administration has done all in its power
to help local police organizations carry out their duties.
He has strongly encouraged the peace officers' close study
of all criminal bills submitted to the Legislature, and ex-
pressed opinions on their merits.
Having previously served as State Attorney General,
Governor Warren brought to the Governor's chair a com-
plete familiarity with our system of law. As Governor,
he has demonstrated both the desire and the ability to make
our code of criminal law serve the interests of society
rather than those of racketeers, bunco men and gang-
sters. He has opened every facility of the state for the
strengthening of law enforcement agencis in our local
communities.
It will be remembered that during the war the Gov-
ernor saw to it that the law enforcement groups had an
important voice in deliberations of the California State
War Council. A state- wide law enforcement advisory
committee was created, made up of law enforcement offi-
cers nominated by the peace officers' groups and appointed
by the Governor. This committee developed a mutual as-
sistance program prepared for any emergency, patterned
after the state fire disaster plan.
The new disaster act, implemented by other recent stat-
utes on mutual aid, will give local police organizations
every protection that is essential tf) an exchange of man-
power and equipment in time of emergency. As a result
local organizations are no longer entirely on their own in
times of stress, as they were a few years ago. They nfjw
have the backing of every other law enforcement agency in
the state. It is a case of "all for one and one for all."
Crime prevention has been another of the prime inter-
ests of Governor Warren's administration. During his
term in office, the state increased its housing facilities for
juvenile delinquents, and subsidized the counties for their
juvenile camps. Industrial schfxjis were reorganized U)
accomplish their real purpose, and a special institution
was established for those boys who are tfxj young for San
(Juentin and toj far advanced in crime for athcr Preston
rr WTiittier.
The Governor's far-sighted planning calls for another
adult State institution. Authorization also was obtained
for a hospital for the criminally insane. The latter has long
"been a crying need.
Another achievement of the Warren administration
was placing of California pris<jn empl<.iyees under Civil
Service, thus protecting them from political meddling.
The Governor has long seen the need for an effident
Bureau of Criminal IdentificaticMi. Under his sponsrjrship
thLs agency has already been strengthened and will be
strengthened further as time goes on. It was Gmrernor
Warren's idea that criminal statistics of the State should
be coordinated by a single agency — the Department of
Justice — rather than by several agendes as in the past.
This constilidation of the efforts of the various agendes
already has had its benefidal effect.
The sympathetic cooperation of Governor Warren with
the program of our peace officers' organizations has cm-
tributed greatly to the progress in law enforcement and
crime prevention which California has made.
His jjersonal interest in the cause of the peace officer
has been invaluable. He pcrs'jnally intervened with the
War and Navy departments, for example, to secure the
earliest possible release from the armed forces of the men
desperately needed by understaffed Ifxuil police depart-
ments throughout the state.
On the basis of his record. Governor Earl Warren de-
serves the vote of every peace officer in the state

Sheriff H. P. (Jack) Gleason of Alameda Co.
Docs Outstanding Job As Chief Law Enforcement Officer Because It's His Life Work and He Likes It
By B. S. (Sandy) Sanders, veteran newspaperman, police reporter, editor, writer.
It's hard to beat a man like Sheriff H. P. (Jack) Gleason
of Alameda County, rounding out six years in office, who
in announcing his Candida ry for re-election says:
He should be continued in office as Sheriff of Alameda
County because he has devoted his best efforts to law en-
forcement and put law enforcement on a professional basis.
No other line of endeavor offers more opportunity to
serve the people of city, county, state or nation.
Sheriff H. P. Gleason
His record of six years as Sheriff, his three years previous
experience under his predecessor as court bailiff, as under-
sheriJT, definitely prove it.
Intensely human, a former professional ball player with
the famous St. Louis Browns, veteran of World War I
where he came out as Chief Warrant Officer in the
U. S. N., married and father of a fascinating daughter —
Sheri.T Gleason has brought to the office of sheriff an un-
derstanding heart, a keen desire to help the wayward
youth, rehabilitate the criminal wherever possible and yet
hold strictly to law enforcement with every agency at
his command.
Long a student of criminology, keen obscner of human
behavior, eager to combat crime and more eager to prevent
crime, Sheriff Gleason has made Alameda County one of
the outstanding c;;mmunitics in the United States by its
modern law enforcement methods, its care, education of
law breakers, its prison farms, its clean sanitary jails, its
efficient 2 -way radio system, its high type of personnel
operatin); under him.
Sheriff Gleason believes modern law enforcement calls
for organization on sound principles, the development of a
long range program with adequate records to indicate
prompt and necessary adjustments to insure maximum of
ecrvice at reasonable cost of operation.
To make this program effective, requires high type
personell, carefully selected through competitive civil ser-
vice examinations, and trained in all aspects of law enforce-
ment programs operating annually to meet changing con-
ditions and impart new methods of techniques; and, finally
through cooperation with the F. B. I. and educational insti-
tutions, give advanced training to selected deputies in
specialized functions of law enforcement — and such a
program is in operation in Alameda County.
To make this program more effective and extend its
usefulness to other departments, I have furnished an out-
line of the course to the State Department of Education,
asking that they explore the possibilities of including it in
the audio-visual method of vocational education, thereby
making it availibic to all law enforcement agencies at
reasonable cost.
The intelligent distribution of personnel to assure that
all problems will be dealt with promptly and effectively
with the minimum of personnel, requires constant study
of records, past and present. A continuous survey of these
records is a part of my program. That it is effective is
borne out by comparison with national crime averages,
which indicate that our crime rate is lower and our case
clearance is higher than the average for communities of our
size.
Law breakers are no respectors of boundary lines, hence
there is a necessity for a close cooperation and coordination
pnd mutual aid between all law enforcement agencies.
To meet this situation I have worked out a program
with all other law enforcement agencies in this county, a
system of strategic control points upon the streets and
l:ighways upon short notice under which the whole area
can be quickly covered, and make it difficult for fleeing
criminals to escape. Plans are progress to extend this con-
trol to adjoining counties.
A similar plan has been worked out for rendering mu-
tual aid in case of major disasters or emergencies, together
with a plan for ready mobilization of manpower to meet
such situations.
Alameda County was the first county in the state to
complete its organization and a year and a half ago I was
unanimously selected Coordinator of Mutual Aid by the
chief law enforcement officers of this county, and six
months ago was also selected regional law enforcement
coordinator for the nine bay counties, thus assuring people
of Alameda County and the surrounding area adequate
protection in time of need.
Communication by means of two-way radio, so essen-
tial in criminal apprehension, has been extended in service
range and coordinated with other law enforcement radio
stations and now is mcnitcred by more stations in this and
neighboring counties that any other, thereby assuring aid

POLICE AND PEACE OFFICERS" JOURNAL
WAITING
By Inspector Frank McGrayan
Page 7
(The late Inspector Frank McGrayan was, for
many years, detailed on the old Barbary Coast. This
is the last of a series of stories he wrote for our
Journal. — Editor.'
Waiting!
Things concerning police departments generally are in-
teresting to the public. In fact, there is scarcely any line
of endeavor that furnishes so much front page reading
matter. Through this constant chronicling of police hap-
penings the various phases of police work are pretty fa-
miliar to the average reader — much more familiar than
the many angles that go to make up the work of the medi-
cal practitioner, the banker, or the legal man.
But "waiting." This is one certain phase of police work
that is never taken into consideration by the public.
Speaking as a police officer of thirty-odd years' experi-
ence in the world-famous — or infamous — Barbary Coast
of San Francisco, I can say, without the slightest fear of
contradiction, that the so-called "Waiting Detail" is the
one most hated by police officers.
The Bible says "Hope deferred maketh the heart sad."
Yes, ordinary waiting, without avail, does cause extreme
weariness. But, the hopeful, or hopeless, waiting men-
tioned in the Bible is trivial compared with the nerve-
wracking, maddening waiting connected with the "Wait-
ing Detail" in a police department.
This "Waiting Detail" to which I have been referring
is nothing more or less than being told by your superior
officer to go to a certain room in a certain house and re-
main silent and motionless until a "wanted" criminawl sees
fit to return to that room.
Of course, it is understood that during this waiting you
have to look out for your personal lease on life.
Naturally, for this continuance of life you depend
mainly on your revolver.
To police officers who may read this story it is quite un-
necessary for me to go into particulars as to the various
reactions experienced from the moment you become a law
enforcement intruder, waiting for your prey, until the time
arrives when you hear a step approaching the door, hear
the insertion of a key, see door thrown open, the lights
flashed — and momentarily note the stunned glare of the
visitor.
Anyone who has sat through one of these watches —
which I have heard facetiously called "Live Wakes" and
"Death Watches" — has a never-to-be-forgotten picture of
his reactions during each dragging second of the detail.
By some freak of police luck I went through ( alas, tcxi
many of these "death watches." In connection with one of
them, which commenced one bleak March afternoon about
four o'clock and terminated with hurricane abruptness
about three o'clock the following morning — I had one of
my closest chances of getting by the swinging doors that
lead to the Great Beyond.
Well, here is how it all came about!
A prosperous looking man giving the name of B. F.
Mills went into one of our downtown clothing stores and
purchased gents' furnishing for his own personal use to
the value of $309.00.
He presented in payment a check for $500.00 on an
out-of-town bank and immediately left the store, telling
the clerk to have the goods and change delivered by mes-
senger to a certain room in a certain hotel.
Considering that he was a handsome, well-dressed man,
who, by his demeanor and conversation, appeared to be a
southerner, the store authorities did not have the slightest
suspicion as to lack of funds to cover the amount of the
check.
However, due to the fact that the purchaser did not ask
for his change before he left the store, the cashier thought
that it might be quite possible that the check was not
what it purported to be.
That is how the police department happened to be
called in on the matter.
On my arrival at the store I suggested that the goods
be sent to the hotel where I would be when they arrived. I
made this suggestion with a view of having a chance to
investigate the purchaser. The store authorities refused to
send the goods, so I then suggested that they make up a
dummy package and have it forwarded to the hotel,
which was done.
At the hotel I was informed that a man of that name
had registered alone the day previous and had signed the
register as B. F. Mills, San Jose.
The manager could give me no clue as to who he might
be or any particulars concerning him except a description
of his general appearance. A search of his room showed
nothing that could identify him, so I made his room my
abode and commenced my watchful waiting.
What a long wait that — eleven hours of it!
But, everything comes to an end. About three o'clock
in the morning a tall, well-dressed, well-groomed man
about forty years old with light chestnut hair and blue
eyes was suddenly in that room.
Was I alert? Well, I am alive today; that is my best
answer.
I can see him now — hardly touching the floor — like a
wild animal ready to spring.
As I tapped him on the shoulder my mind had formed
this sentence: "One moment, please, I would like to speak
to you," but my tongue never had a chance to utter those
words. I do believe I had said "One," and about half the
word "moment" before we went to the floor in a mad
whirl for the gun which he flashed in a fraction of a sec-
ond the moment I accosted him.
The eleven hours of waiting was a lifetime, but the one-
round fight for the gun was an eternity.

Reddin9*s Police Chief
May. J 946
By Paul C. Bodenhamer,
Editor, Redding Record -Search light
Redding was having "growing pains" when John Balma
now Police Chief, joined the city PoHcc Department in
June, 1939. On top of a rapid natural growth as the
commercial and transportation center of the northern
section of California it was experiencing a boom because of
the construction of Shasta dam, just 10 miles from the city.
Housing was scarce; thousands flocked to the area in
hope of getting jobs on the dam. Big payrolls attracted a
host of unsavory characters, who intended to prey on
the working men. It was a situation that called for a
modern, scientific approach to law enforcement.
Born at Kennett, a mining town now buried under
nearly ^00 feet of water in Shasta lake, north of the dam,
Balma had lived most of his life in Redding, but his ap-
proach to law enforcement was that of a professional,
rather than that of a "home town boy." He had just been
graduated from San Jose State College Police School.
During his first year and a half on the Redding police
force, he set up the first fingerprint and criminal record
file in the Department's history. It has continued to grow,
and Balma hopes to extend its usefulness by cooperation
with the Shasta county sheriff's ofiice and other law en-
forcement agencies.
In 1941 the city council appointed Balma as Chief of
the Department. Before accepting the appointment, Bal-
ma made it plain to the councilmen that politics were out,
and that as long as he was Chief, the Department was to
be run on a business-like basis, with merit the only con-
sideration in hiring and keeping policemen. He insisted that
no indivdual councilman give instructions to him, and
that all policies come from the city council as a whole to
the Chief.
Councilmen discovered that Balma meant what he said,
and that he was more interested in making and keeping
a good record as a law enforcement officer than in keeping
that particular job.
This writer, well acquainted with the faults and lack
of morale of the Redding Police Department in earlier
days, can verify that other members of the force welcomed
this new approach. The position of a policeman became
one of dignity. Officers welcomed the chance to do an
honest job without political interference.
Balma entered the army on April 8, 1943, and served as
a staff sergeant gunner with a 15th Air Force Kimber
squadron based in Italy. Flying more than 50 missions, he
won the Air Medal with four oak leaf clusters for "meri-
torious achievement while participating in sustained opera-
tional missions against the enemy," including raids on
Wicner-Neustadt, Nice, Toulon. Budapest, Bucharest and
the Ploesti oil fields.
Chief Balma returned to hn duties October 1. 1'>4V
finding that in his absence the Department had lost two
of its most experienced men, lured away by the greater
income offered in other lines of work. Pointing out that
the next ten years may see the greatest crime wave in
American history, he hopes to get his veteran officers to
return, as a nucleus for his force and as men capable of
training newer and younger officers.
Besides Balma, the Department includes 13 men and a
stenographer. The Department has three automobiles and
a three-wheeled motorcycle, the latter used for traffic and
parking control work, All the vehicles are equipped with
receivers tuned to the California Highway Patrol's trans-
mitter south of Redding. Police Department matters are
broadcast from a booth in the Police Department by
leased wire and remote control connections to the highway
patrol station.
Among the improvements Chief Balma hopes to make
soon is the installation of transmitters in each of the cars
for two-way communication with the station. Officers often
patrol alone in the cars, and need the protection of quick
communication, Balma points out.
Now growing and with a multitude of tourists and
sportsmen funneling through Redding on their way to
the Shasta -Cascade Wonderland, Redding is ready to see
that all visitors are taken care of.
Chief Balma nows the hill country like a book and
while his big job is running the Police Department and
visiting police officers or others can get some top dope from
him as to where the big ducks and the rainbow trout
abound.
Chief Balma is the president of the newly organized
northern district of the California Association of Police
Chiefs.
The first of a series of quarterly meetings was held in
the Golden Eagle Hotel January 24 with Balma acting as
host.
The meetings were called by Attorney General Robert
W. Kenny to discuss the officers' problems.
Kenny, State Law Enforcement Coordinator Robert B.
Powers and his assistant, Vernon Furry, attended the con-
ference.

Officer Henry Schutzer Handles S F P D Finances
As holder of the San Francisco Pohce Department's
purse strings Officer Henry M. Schutzer is certainly a
busy man, handling a full size job.
Here are some of the financial units on his books: Auc-
tion (annual) sales; bail expressage, Community Chest
contributions, compensation and awards, Community War
Chest, department floral fund, extradition deposits, filing
fees, Finnish war refugees. Federation Municipal Em-
Officer Henry Schutzer
ployees. International Chiefs of Police convention, march
of dimes (annual) , Police Annual Ball, Red Cross, the San
Francisco Police Department B-29 bomber.
Since taking over the Department's purse strings in
March, 1938, Officer Schutzer, in his niche in the prop-
erty clerk's office, has officially handled various funds
amounting to over three and a quarter million dollars, or
$420,000.00 a year. This amount does not include depart-
ment contributions for families of Department members in
need of assistance on account of sickness or death, which
amounts are also handled by Officer Schutzer.
In every line of business — and this includes the hum-
blest home, the small corner grocery store, the beauty
parlor, moving picture theaters and all the business stair-
way up to the nation-wide gigantic enterprises doing busi-
ness in billions — there is one human adder-up who has
his hand on the status of the finances.
To this position, there is, as a rule, no bandwagon
glory, rather, it usually is a tiresome, routine job per-
formed, day in and day out, entirely disconnected with
public luncheons, conventions, and the usual newspaper
paragraphs on the supposedly important personages in
the community.
Previously to May 1. 1942, in our San Francisco Po-
lice Department, we had numerous problems concerning
the rank and file which vitally needed one hundred per
cent cooperation of the entire Department, but which
was lacking due to the fact that our Department had no
such association as the Scannell Club of the San Fran-
cisco Fire Department,
A meeting was called for members of all Police Depart-
ment ranks, and more than one hundred members attend-
ed the meeting at the veteran Fireman's Hail, 368 Fell
Street, and decided to organize The San Francisco Police
Officers" Association.
At the first general election of the organization held on
May 29, 1942, the following officers were elected:
President, Matthew Carberry; first vice president, James
L. Quigley; second vice president, Charles Ute; secretary,
Gerald J. Flynn; treasurer, Henry M. Schutzer.
Since 1938, Officer Henry M. Schutzer of the property
clerk's office has kept track of the Department cash, and,
for that reason he was virtually drafted as treasurer of
the new organization.
From the moment of its organization the association
handled its problems with energy and one hundred per
cent efficiency.
After twenty-five years of waiting and desultory discus-
sion of existing conditions in the department, as to wages
hours of duty, etc., the Association entered its first con-
test, and won in a city election, the result of said election
being an increase of $2'i a month for all members of the
department.
Through the Association's efforts other Department
boons followed.
On May 16, 1944. the Association presented a charter
amendment calling for a 48-hour week, compensation for
overtime, and Police Commission power to designate cer-
tain days as legal holidays, with additional pay for days
off in lieu thereof.
This amendment became law, as did the amendment of
November 7, 1944, making excellent retirement age pro-
visions.
The Association also killed the so-called "oral" test for
Department promotions.
The final grand effort of the Association was achieved
when, on November 6, 194^. the voters of San Francisco
provided an adequate level of compensation for all ranks
in the department, thus making San Francisco Police De-
partment salaries comparable to those of leading Police
Departments in the United States.
The Association was incorporated under the laws of
the State of California on the 29th day of March, 1946,
and will henceforth be legally known as The San Fran-
cisco Peace Officers' Association, Inc.
At the last election of Association officers Treasurer
Henry M. Schutzer nominated the present treasurer, Ed-
ward V. Comber. In doing so Officer Schutzer stated he
felt any such organization as ours is improved by the
infusion of new blixxl.

EDWARD P. DONAHUE NEW S F P D CAPTAIN
Where he started his pohcc career 27 years ago, on
June 2, Captain Edward P. Donahue finds himself in
command of the Ingleside Police District, the largest po-
lice subdivision in San Francisco.
Captain Donahue was promoted from the rank of Lieu-
tenant by the Police Commission on April 2^, filling a
Captain Edward P. Donahue
vacancy occasioned by the retirement of veteran Captain
John Reed.
Few men have been elevated to the top rank of the Po-
lice Department with such general approval as that for
Captain Donahue. He is powerfully built, a native born
San Franciscan, has a fine sense of humor, and has pro-
gressed through the ranks because of his ability to mastei
the requirements of a law enforcement officer and enlarge
his knowledge of police matters by hard work and experi-
ence. He is a policeman's policeman because he has the
natural talent for leadership, giving counsel and advice for
the new officer and credit for the services of the old
timers for duties well performed.
You will find no demerit marks on his record card, for
he has never even been reprimanded by his superiors, let
along called upon to face charges for some infraction of
police rules, before the Commission.
Captain Donahue was made a Corporal on December
27, 1926. a Sergeant April 4, 1931; Lieutenant July 1,
1939.
He has served in the various ranks in Richmond district,
did a hitch in the City prison, Northern, Park and the
old Harbor district. For two years he served as Lieutenant
in the Central district under Captain Arthur Christiansen
and Joseph Walsh. He was transferred to Ingleside when
Captain Christiansen started usiny up his acquired over-
time preparatory to taking a pension, and .<iTvcd as actinij
Captain until he was given the full rank.
He likes the Ingleside district, which covers about one-
tenth of the city's area, and he and his 67 policemen and
non-commissioned and commissioned officers, including
three hostlers, make this vast district a white spot for law
enforcement.
The area includes some of the finest mansions in San
Francisco, as well as well kept homes of the working man
and every type of business man, as well as some sections
that in normal times would call for "slum clearance" ac-
tion. Yet the Ingleside district contributes less patronage to
the city prison, and gives the Bureau of Inspectors less work
to do to solve criminal complaints than any one would
expect from an area made up of so many nationalities en-
gaged in different kinds of business, and whose population
runs the gamut from the highest class to the more lowly.
They all get along swimingly. This is due to the splendid
police protection afforded the district, and for this pro-
tection Captain Donahue has done more than his share.
He has the unswerving loyalty of every member of his
command and they know that he is ready and willing to
take a hand in any case that calls for courage, good judg-
ment and experienced police knowledge.
Captain Donahue has as his three ranking officers Lieu-
tenants Thomas J. Sullivan, Edward Glover and Michael
McCarthy. Their long service on the Department eases
the Captain's work.
On September 12, 1920, fifteen months after he had
joined the Police Department, Captain Douahue married
Miss Ella Willmann. a native of San Francisco, and the
couple reside at 443 Jersey Street, where their friends find
a happy couple extending characteristic San Francisco
hospitality and gcxid fellowship.

INSP. MANION OF CHINATOWN DETAIL RETIRES
Inspector Jdhn J. Manion, who for 25 years was in
charge of the Chinatown Detail, and justly earned the
unofficial title of "Chief of Police of Chinatown," has
taken his pension, and the Chinese residents of the biggest
center of these Orientals in the United States are a bit
sad, though admitting he has justly earned his retirement.
Since he was appointed to take over the Detail by the
l.ite Chief Daniel J. O'Brien on March 28, 1921 a new
ber 1 1, 1876, and after taking up the trade as a machinist
he joined the Police Department on July 16, 1907. A God
fearing man, with a pleasant face and ambitious to master
the details of his new calling, he attracted the attention of
his superior officers and it wasn't long until he was brought
into the old Detective Bureau where he served with dis'
tinction, working on some of the biggest crime cases of the
1910's up to 1920. He was in turn in charge of the Pawn-

generation has grown up in San Francisco's Chinatown,
and these newer residents have joined with the older in-
habitants in their admiration for kindly Jack Manion's
handling their many problems and giving them a security
from evil influences that they had never enjoyed during
the long history of this picturesque portion of the city.
Since the day that Inspector Manion took over there has
been no tong wars. The straight and fast shooting gunmen
who took the law into their own hands to settle tong and
personal disputes learned earlier that in his new job they
would have to bow to legal processes.
Slave girl traffic died when he marched his squad into
the oriental quarters, and opium smoking and dealing
stopped at the same time.
Gambling ceased toi> when he showed no fear or favor
to powerful pressure, and no more secret doors, moving
wall p.mels and intricate electric locks that, by pushing a
button, would open a way to and out of a gambling place.
Inspector Manion, was born in San Francisco, Novem-
shop Detail, and on the old Redlight detail he carved out
a line record of handling that touchy problem.
Because of his ability, honesty and loyalty to his oath of
office. Chief O'Brien selected him to head the Chinatown
Detail as one of his first duties as Chief of Police. From
time immemorial it had been the custom of putting a Cor-
poral, a Sergeant and finally a Detective Sergeant in charge
of this Detail, and they were changed after a few months
of service, taking with them at each change a new force of
selected officers to help curb lawlessness in the Chinatown
quarters.
Most everyone thought that, at the most, six months
would see Jack Manion back in the Detective Bureau, but
the months went by, and years glided past and it was 25
years to the day that he came back to the Inspectors Bu-
reau, not to take up his new duties, but to receive his gold
retirement star presented by his fellow Inspectors, and he
came back because he wanted to take advantage of the

Chief C. E- Tovee of Chico
One of the best known and highly rcjjardcd Chiefs of
Pohce in Northern California is C. E. (Charles) Tovee
of the beautiful little college city of Chico.
Born in England, of an old sea-faring family, he went
to sea as a youth, and rose to the rank of deck officer.
At the turn of the century his full rigged ship put into
Forrland. Oregon, for a cargo of wheat. Bound out to
Liverpool she was never seen again. Its a long adventur-
sponsihility, and it is, and no Ititle part of his success is
due to his ability to gather good men about him and in-
spire them to do a thorough job. The necessary discipline
learned at sei as a youth has stood him in good stead and
he insists on that same discipline in his department.
Like many another California city the Army established
a large training base just outside the incorporated limits,
but the situation was handled with but very little friction.
Chief Tovee may be a little embarrassed when he reads
this, for with all his accomplishments, he is a modest man.
Your reporter did a little "sleuthing" himself among
Chico's substantial citizens, and I believe a job well done
should receive due credit. Gcxxj luck, and thanks from the
Chicoans that your good wife "looked at the stars" and
made a landlubber of you.
SAVE YOUR WAR BONDS
. Chief C. E. Tovee
ous story, but Chief Tovee is the sole survivor of the crew
of that vessel.
Back in Oregon again he arrived in Hornbrcwk, Siski-
you county, and became interested in mining as well as
the United States Marshal's daughter. Both prospects hit
pay dirt. All good sailor men have that yen for the sea
once the salt water gets in their veins, but the bride got
his old sextant out, took a look at the stars, and "they"
decided to stay ashore.
Old timers on the Southern Pacific and agents of the
old Wells Fargo Express still relate how young Charlie,
unassisted, broke the case of a train robbery at Hornbrook.
Within one hour the three culprits who perpetrated the
robbery were behind the bars of the local bastile.
The bride and groom arrived in Chico forty- five years
ago, and ffius begins our story — an ordinar>' lifetime de-
voted to Chico and Chico devoted to him. Since that day
he has risen from one office to another, and has been Chief
of Police for almost a quarter of a century.
Some folks with long terms in public service tend toward
complacency, but not Chief Tovee Alert, and with a
background of that valuable asset — experience— he has
made Chico a very undesirable place for the criminal.
Chico's city charter is rather unique in California.
His official title is Chief of Safety and Health. This in-
cludes fire protection, building inspection, health inspec-
tion and police protection. That sounds like a lot of re-

Praise Letters to Chief Dullea
"I am taking this opportunity to compliment you and
your men of the Police Department, on the most efficient
manner in which the apprehension of my stolen car was
efTected. I reported my car missing last Thursday, Dec.
20, 1945, at about 1 :00 p. m., and less than one hour
later, I was informed by Officers Nelder and Egger of the
Accident Prevention Bureau that they had picked up my
car with the driver travehng out Third street. This, I
would say is quite an accomplishment, and I wish to extend
my sincere appreciation.
Cliff Whearley, 2095 20th Ave."
« * *
"The outstanding courtesy and consideration shown by
two of your officers yesterday seems worthy of this note
of appreciation of their efforts. Early one afternoon in
December, my daughter Meredith was traveling north on
Broderick street, and as she was almost through the inter-
section of Pine street, a negro driven car ran into her.
Fortunately no persons were injured although considerable
damage was suffered by both cars. In response to telephone
notification, a prowl car containing Patrolmen Ha:elton
French and Clarence Wise, appeared very quickly on the
scene and took full and complete control. As indicated
above they were most considerate in every way to those
who were involved in the accident, and I am particularly
anxious to express appreciation of their courtesy to my
daughter in assisting her to get in touch with me so that
arrangements could be speedily made to tow my car to a
garage. They were very fine in every way, and I want
you to know it.
D. Porter Dunlap, Vice-Pres.,
Bank of America."

"I want to tell you how much we appreciated Mrs.
Sullivan coming to Los Gatos, California, to speak for us.
She gave a wonderful talk and we learned a great deal
that will be helpful. I've talked with many friends and all
were impressed with the wonderful work the police de-
partment is doing to help children in trouble. You are
surely to be congratulated in pioneering such projects as
the Parents" Court. Thank you again for your kindness.
Evelyn Balch, VicePres.,
Los Gatos P. T. A."

"I am taking this opportunity of expressing my apprc
ciation to the San Francisco Police Force for the interest
shown us recently. On Friday, January 4th. Mrs. New-
man parked our LaSalle automobile in front of our resi-
dence at .^^21 Washington street, and fifteen minutes
later found that the car was not there and apparently
had been stolen. I immediately called the Richmond Police
Station and Officer Ben J. Giusto called at the home for
information. He then set out and in fifteen or twenty
minutes time had located the car, which had been left
stranded by the thief I want to compliment Officer Giusto
for his courtesies and his efficiency in locating the car. I
feel that you sht)uld know that 1 appreciate his efforts and
wish to compliment the San Francisco Police Department
which h.is always been held high in our estimation.

"On behalf of Islam Temple, A.A.O.N.M.S., and the
Shriners' Hospital for Crippled Children, we wish to ex-
press our sincere appreciation for your constructive help
in making this year's Shrine East-West game, not only
the nation's outstanding New Year's day football classic,
but also the most successful from financial standpoint in the
2 1 -year history of the annual charity event.
We know you will be pleased to learn that the profits
from this year's 21st annual Shrine East-West game broke
all previous records, earning a net profit of $88,625.97,
which has been turned over to the Shringrs' Hospital for
Crippled Children.
This success, year after year, is in a large part due to
the continued unselfish support of workers like yourself.
Your work is greatly appreciated.

"On several occasions I have found it necessary to call
upon the Taraval Station for asssistance. Each call was
handled promptly, courteously and efficiently. My latest
call was on the evening of December 2.^, 1945. At that
time, my young daughter, age 7, and her companion of like
age were not at home and not located .where expected.
After contacting all known sources, we called the Tara-
val Station for assistance. Within less than five minutes a
prowl car driven by Officer Dennis M. Carey appeared at
the house. Officer Carey obtained a description of the
two children and was quite successful in soothing the agi-
tation of Mrs. Roney. He at once commenced a tour of the
vicinity. Fortunately, the two children appeared on the
scene shortly thereafter and we so informed the Taraval
Station. Officer Carey again drove up to the house and
after a brief chat went on his way. We ask that you
express our thanks to the officer in command of the Tara-
val Station and through him extend our appreciation of
the excellent service rendered, to Officer Carey.

1 50 MORE POLICE ASKED FOR
SAN FRANCISCO
The budget for the next fiscal year for the city of San
Francisco contains a provision for the addition of I'iO new
police officers for this city. Mayor Roger D. Lapham and
Police Ojmmissioners Jerd Sullivan, J, Wesley Howell and
E. L. Turkington had agreed that Chief Charles W. Dul-
lea's request for 250 more men was a proper one and went
on record for that number.
However, the Civil Service Commission advised the
Police Commission that the eligibility list from the com-
ing examination would not be available until November 1
President Sullivan stated in the latter to Mayor Lapham
his reason for cutting down the number of additional of-
ficers requested:
"Taking inU) consideration the desire of the department
to send police recruits to our academy for a thorough
course of police training prior to their assumption of
regular duties, and after a thorough discussion of the
situation with the Police Commission and Chief of Po-
lice, I am amending our original request for 250 addi-
tional men and now recommending that the number K-
fixed .It 150."
Fifty of the 150 new officers will be put on the payroll
November 1, fifty on February 1. 1947 and fifty more on
May 1, 1947.
There are still more than 50 members of the Police
Department who have not returned to their duties after
serving in our armed forces. So San Francisco, which is
apt to have 900,000 population within the next year, it is
over 800,000 now, will have to get along on the present
number less than 1.^00 and the added 150 new officers.
Chief Dullea could use more men, but he did pretty
well during the war when his force was cut down by over
200 policemen who joined up for duty in World War II.
WATCH FOR THESE "GYPS"
Two warnings were issued today by the Better Business
Bureau, one directed to housewives and one to business
men. Housewives were" urged to be on the lookout for an
elderly man who is collecting money by promising to re-
turn the following day to do certain household cleaning.
He does not return and addresses which he has given to
date have proved to be fictitious.
Business men were warned to investigate carefully be-
fore paying sums of cash to strangers. According to the
Better Business Bureau, one individual is offering to obtain
very scarce materials at a 10 per cent discount, provided
he is given an advance of several hundred dollars for
"traveling expenses." Persons consulted at the New York
address which he gave to local business executives have no
knowledge of this individual.
Better Business Bureau also warned those desiring to rent
a house to be on the lookout for a woman described as mid-
dle-aged, about 5' 1", weighing 155 pounds, who allegedly
IS approaching women in the downtown area offering to
rent her house provided a deposit is paid immediately.
One woman who paid $10 as a deposit on a two-story
house called at the address later in the day to inspect the
property. She found only a small cottage occupied by a
family who knew nothing about the woman who collected
the deposit and who had no intentions of selling their
property or renting it. Inquiry for seven blocks in the
immediate area revealed no one who had ever heard of
the alleged property owner.
CHIEF DULLEA'S SON A HERO
Charles Dullea, who on June 15 will become Rev.
Father Dullea, and the eldest son of Chief and Mrs.
Charles W. Dullea, enacted the role of a hero on April 25.
He, with two Jesuit Priests, Rev. John Duggan and Louis
Franklin, who arc his instructors, were swimming in the
ocean four miles from Watsonville.
The Priests were caught beyond the breakers, and ^
could not make shore. Constable Glenn Spencer reported
that young Dulla plunged into the breakers and brought
them in after they had been struggling for nearly an hour.
They were taken to the Sisters" Hospital in Santa Cruz
where they were cared for and later returned to Alma
College at Ltis Gatos, where all three reside.
Young Dullea, while a student of St. Ignatius High
Schix)!, swam for the Olympic Club, and like his father,
he is a powerful and expert swimmer, a fact coupled with
his great courage two members of the Catholic priesthixxl
are alive today.

SAN LUIS OBISPO'S CHIEF OF POLICE
For nearly eighteen years San Luis Obispo has had its
Chief of Pohce. Bernard J. Epperly and he has done a
mighty swell job of keeping the peace of this beautiful
half way city between San Francisco and Los Angeles.
He has able assistance from his chief aide. Captain E.
Eugene Roberts, who has been on the police force for 2}
years. These two have organized their force of 18 men into
a well functioning law enforcement department.
Chief Epperly has a two-way radio station and his cars
are all equipped with two-way sets and he gives the resi-
dential section a complete coverage 24 hours a day.
During the war years he was called upon to shoulder
great responsibilities by the added duties entailed by the
springing up of training camps near San Luis Obispo and
his duties were in nowise lessened by the great volume of
freight that went pouring up and down the coast line of
the Southern Pacific Railway Co., for San Luis Obispo is
a division point and the yards and rail lines in and out of
the city were crowded with cars loaded with war mate-
rials, and the men necessary to handle this great volume of
freight had to put up in San Luis Obispo, for here the
train crews changed on both the north and south runs.
Soldiers and sailors crowded the streets of the little
city, and Chief Epperly worked in close harmony with the
Military' Police and Shore Patrol, as a result but little law
breaking occurred.
He joined the force in 1928 and was made Chief in
1939. His close attention to his duties as a patrolman won
him his promotion to the top spot in the Police Depart-
ment. Before joining up as a police officer he was in the
cattle business in his native San Luis Obispo county.
The first big celebration since the war started was held,
starting April 30, with a fiesta commemorating the found-
ing of the mission by the Padres in the 1770's. An enor-
mous crowd of people converged on San Luis Obispo, but
the people were ready to show them a good time and Chief
Epperly and his men handled their end of the celebration
so well that not one untoward event happened to mar the
festivities.

Richmond Tatham Answers Last Roll Call
May. 1946
Inspector Richmond Tatham, retired, died in Santa
Rosa, last month after a long illness. He had made his
home in Santa Rosa for a number of years, but has spent
a lot of time in the Army hospitals in San Francisco.
Inspector Tatham was K)rn in South Africa. Reared in
that country he took part in the Boer War and after that
conflict came to the United States, finally locating in San
Francisco. He joined the Police Department on February
18, 1909 and after over 28 years as an able courageous
and loyal peace officer, he retired on pension in 1937.
He was in the service of the Army in World War I,
doing fine work in the intelligence division in Europe.
His ability as a law enforcement officer attracted higher
ups and he was brought off the streets and placed in the
then Detective Bureau, and in August, 1922, he was made
a Detective Sergeant, and for many years prior to his re-
tirement he was in charge of the Burglary Detail of the
Bureau of Inspectors. Here he and his detail brought to
book many a ho se breaker, prowler and safe burglar.
In June of 1932 he engaged in a gun battle with a hold-
up man, one G. Parantie, and the latter was measured for
a slab in the city morgue.
He was a man without fear. One night the late Robert
Burgh, a Chronick Police Reporter, discovered a suit case
in a telephone booth in the foyer of the first floor of the
Hall of Justice. He picked it up and started for the In-
spectors Bureau. He heard a ticking in the suitcase and
so did the Inspectors on duty, one of them being Rich-
mond Tatham. He took charge and proceeded to a safe
place, dunked the infernal machine that was found in
the suitcase in a barrel of water and disconnected the
bomb from the clock. The man who placed the suitcase
in the Hall of Justice with the intention of blowing the
p'ace up to get revenge, blew himself up a short time later
ou' in the Richmond district.
When Homer Cummings was attorney general of the
United States he came to San Francisco one day and
called on Chief of Police Charles W. DuUea, who was
then Captain of Inspectors and told him he wanted a high
class capable man to work on a big case that came during
the first World War. He wanted a man who could do
his work and keep his mouth shut. Chief Dullea picked
Inspector Tatham.
For months Tatham was on this case, which happened
to be the celebrated "Black Tom" explosion of an ammu-
nition ban;e in a New Jersey harbor. His leads took him
to many American points and as far away as Brazil. As a
result of his thorough work the explosion was solved, and
so well pleased was the Department of Justice, it sent a
sizeable check as a reward for his efforts. You never heard
Inspector Tatham speak about this assignment. He was
that kind of a man.

H. B. FLETCHER NEW FBI CHIEF HERE
Mdv. 1946
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has a new chief
Special Agent for the San Francisco area. He is H. B.
Fletcher and he took over his new duties during the first
part of this month.
Chief Fletcher has been with the FBI since January 2,
1935, and during that time he has served with distinction
as special agent and Special Agent in Charge in many
John, 1 1 years of age, who has had a checkered career
in getting an education. Because of his father's moving
about to many large cities of the United States he has been
forced to attend nine different schools in nine different
cities, and he is looking forward to his tenth school in
San Francisco. He hopes that he "will have a longer tenure
here than he has had in any previous school.
H. B. Fletcher
New F. B. I. Chief Special Agent
cities. After entering the service of this great crime com-
batting agency he served as Special Agent in Boston,
Washington, D. C, and Roanoke, Virginia, and so well
did he do his duties that he was made an administrative
asristant to Director John Edgar Hoover, in Washington,
In 1937 he was made special agent in charge in Omaha,
Nebr., and served in the same capacity during the follow-
ing years, in the FBI offices in Little Rock, Ark., Oklahoma
City, Okla., Philadelphia, Memphis, Tenn.; New Orieans,
Seattle and Cleveland, Ohio.
Like all FBI agents he was tested to his fullest capacity
during the war years, and that he was brought to San
Francisco to fill the spot Nat Picpcr filled so well, indicates
that he is pretty well thought of by his superiors, for San
Francisco ranks high in the important cities of this country
for top men to carry out the Bureau's many and complex
problems.
Chief Fletcher was born at Elkadcr, Iowa, February 3,
1906, but 9oon after his family moved to Aberdeen, South
Dakota. Here he completed his education in the public
schfxils and after graduating from high school attended
the University of Iowa, in Iowa City, Iowa. He received
Bachelor of Aru degree in 1927 and a Juris Doctor degree
two years later.
After graduating from college he practiced law with
his father, and served two years as Assistant District Ai
torney of Brown County, South Dakota.
Chief Fletcher is married and the c(>uple have a son.

VENEREAL DISEASE CONTROL
I Continued from page 4 )
not how it was done.
If we admit that every agency has been doing its part
during the past five years, then surely something is wrong.
Either we are placing too much importance on the Health
Department's program or we are disregarding the benefi-
cial effects which would follow a vigorous law enforce-
ment campaign with jail sentences following arrests where
the evidence sustained a conviction. Combined with an
appeal emphasizing the moral side of the picture.
Let us look at the record of arrests and punishments
of perstins charged with prostitution and its related of-
fenses during the past years, and you will probably find
the cause of the present high venereal disease rate.
Arrests, 1323.
Sent to county jail, 312.
Dismissed, 363.
Given probation, 319.
Sent to cointy jail — 1 day suspended sentence. 111.
Given suspended sentence, 107.
Sent to state institutions, 21.
Sent to local hospital, 12.
Fined, 45.
Bail forfeited, 5.
Other dispositions (turned over to family, etc.); 9.
Cases pending, 19.
I realize that my remarks might convey the impression
that the Police Department is seeking to blame other
agencies for the present conditions, and to relieve itself
of the responsibility for the increase of reported infections.
That is not entirely true, but we do feel that it is time
to amend our procedure and that each responsible agency
.should have an equal part in the program and that the
problem be dealt with as I have hereinbefore outlined.
In recapitulation I recommend:
1. That the moral phase of our problem receive equal
attention with the medical aspects.
2. That original information as to the source of infec-
tions be given to the Police Department.
3. That straight jail sentences he meted out to repeaters
and that suspended sentences be abolished.
4. That no probation be given known prostitutes and
their facilitators.
5. That red light abatement proceedings be conducted
against premises that are knowingly used for purposes of
prostitution.
Now is the time for all of us to strike vigorously and
uncompromisingly at the forces of the underworld, and to
repel any and all attempts to re-establish houses of prosti-
tution, and at the same time to make our community
aware of the danger that menaces, not only "our boys in
the military and navy service," but the future fathers
and mothers of the nation.

NAT PIEPER IN NEW BUSINESS
N. J. L. Fieper, who after the surrender of Japan re-
signed as Chief Special Agent of the FBI for the San
Francisco district, is now going great in his new venture.
LcKated in the Butler Building he heads Consultants, Ltd.,
handling general public relations.
Nat Pieper served longer as head of J. Edgar Hoover's
able corps of agents for this area than any other man.
Prior to the start of World War II he had built up a fine
reputation for effective work, and during those prewar
N. J. L. PlEHER
days he had to shoulder the heavy duties assumed by the
FBI in dealing with saboteurs, spies, unfriendly aliens and
the foreign agents who sought information of what this
country was doing in its preparation for the war that was
inevitable. Through the war he continued his splendid
record of assuring security for the people of this portion
of the Nation. He coordinated all law enforcement agen-
cies as they had never been before, and his agents were on
top of any enemy agents who showed up in this portion
of the Pacific Coast.
He not only won praise from Director Hoover, but the
peace officers of this state held him in high esteem, and it
goes without saying that every member of the State Peace
Officers' Association and the Bay Counties' Peace Officers'
Association as well as smaller peace officers' organizations,
are wishing Nat Piep)er every success in his new business
venture. He deserves success and the Police and Peace
Officers' Journal joins with his legion of friends in wish-
ing him well.

of other law enforcement agencies in cases of major crimes,
disasters and great emergencies. Most of this equipment
has been designed and constructed by deputies in the radio
division at a great saving to the county.
Negotiations are pending at this time to acquire from
the government army mobile radio equipment mounted on
a truck with an independent power supply on a trailer to
furnish 2 -way radio communication in remote areas in
cases of fires, airplane crashes, railroad accidents or other
major disasters.
Crime prevention and the control of juvenile delin-
quency requires eternal vigilance and close cooperation
with the main agencies concerned in order that all may
keep informed of each other's activities and coordinate
their efforts to avoid duplication and assure that proper
guidance will be given by the appropriate agency. Two
deputies, a man and a woman, with previous training and
experience in this important field, were appointed two
years ago. Other qualified personnel will be added as soon
as funds are available.
Custodial care of persons awaiting trial and service
sentences for offenses and crimes committed is an import-
ant function and a great responsibility.
In administering two jails and the Prison Farm, every
effort is made to keep prisoners gainfully occupied, physi-
cally, mentally, spiritually. Prisoners housed at the farm
engage in truck gardening, produce vegetables for use
there, the two jails, the county hospitals, the detention
home.
Through cooperation with the county librarian, reading
matter and textbooks on subjects in the field of the prison-
er's legal occupation, when available, are furnished.

Through cooperation of the County Board ot Education
evening classes twice a week have been arranged.
And it is gratifying to have reports of the U. S. Bureau
of Prisons and the State Department of Corrections, after
inspections made by them, declare these institutions, jails
and farm, are outstanding in cleanliness, sanitation and
management."
Sheriff Gleason has introduced an unusual function for
the county constables in that when they are not acting
under Justice of the Peace orders or in court, or serving
warrants, they serve in the crmiinal investigation division
of the sheriff's office, exemplifying Sheriff Gleason 's idea
of "full use of man power."
Six division chiefs and 120 deputies serve under Sheriff
Gleason.
They are Lex Jensen, Criminal Deputy, Peter J, Stara-
sinic. Chief of the Criminal Department; Douglas Webb,
Chief of the Patrol, headquarters Hayward; William D.
Terry, Chief Jailor: Harry Adams, Superintendent of the
Farm; Ed Kaufman, Chief Constable.
Leon Ader, former Alameda city treasurer is under-
sheriff and John Greening, 12 years Chief of Police, Berk-
eley, is Division Chief Deputy.
That the fine work Sheriff Gleason is doing is recog-
nised by his fellow peace officers of the State. He is vice-
president of the Peace Officers Association of the State
of California, serves on three important committees —
executive, crime prevention, law and legislative; is vice-
chairman of the committee for general training and re-
gional law enforcement schools for peace officers; Presi-
dent of Bay Counties Peace Officers Association; Sergeant
at Arms of the California State Sheriffs Association..
Despite his many duties as Sheriff, Jack Gleason finds
time to participate in civic affairs of city and county. He
served two terms as commander of East Oakland Post No.
471 American Legion and is past commander of San
Leandro Post 2^07, Veterans of Foreign Wars.
A keen believer in advance education for his deputies.
Sheriff Gleason is proud of the fact that Deputies Frank
Condon and Floyd N. Heffron are graduates of the FBI
school in Washington, D. C. conducted by J. Edgar Hoo-
ver and that Deputy Frank Madigan is now in attendance
at this famous training school for law enforcement officers.
It looks like taxpayers and voters of Alameda County
will retain Sheriff Jack Gleason in office at the polls June 4.

POLICE AND PEACE OFFICERS" JOURh/AL
DAILY DON'TS
May. 1946
(In a negative manner this series of personal pre-
cepts will aid in reminding officers of their individual
duty to the public and their fellow officers respec-
tively.— Editor.)
Don't violate the laws you are paid to enforce.
Don't betray a confidence placed in you. Keep your
eyes and ears open and your mouth shut.
Don't forget that you are a servant of the people; act
accordingly.
Don't lose your temper; if you cannot control yourself
you certainly cannot control others.
Don't argue; little said is easiest mended.
Don't think you know it all; most people are not morons.
Don't forget the people pay your salary; keep the citi-
zens friendly.
Don't be discourteous; you can be a gentleman while
being at the same time a mere police officer.
Don't assume too much authority; you are only a spoke
in the wheel.
Don't be confidential with your friends about police
matters; it may later prove very embarrassing.
Don't bawl people out; a mild answer turneth away
wrath.
Don't audibly criticize your superior officer. He must
have something on the ball or he would not be in the
position; at any rate, he is your boss.
Don't be untidy in your dress; the clothes oft proclaim
the man. /
-Don't interfere unnecessarily; you may be wrong.
Don't try to pass the buck; stand or fall on your own
deeds and duty.
Don't be uncit;il; remember, you are a civil service em-
ployee.
Don't get swell-headed; it interferes with your vision.
Don't be a grouch; a smile always beats a frown.
Don't criticize others; keep your own house in good
order.
Don't accept unwarranted presents; beware of the
Greek bearing gifts.
Don't tell even white lies; a liar needs an excellent
memory.
Don't rail against rules and regulations; they are made
for your benefit.
Don't fraternize with lawbreakers; a man is known by
the company he keeps.
Don't discuss police matters with strangers; they may
use the information to your disadvantage.
Don't act as if you were afraid of your superiors; they
came into the department just as you did.
Don't salute your superiors in a perfunctory manner;
if a thing has to be done at all it should be well done.
Don't boast of your stature or strength; the hospitals
and sanitariums contain many people who were erstwhile
physical marvels.
Don't be known as a minute man; traffic jams occur
frequently.
Don't try to be the fun maker for the station; the occu-
pation of jester at court has been obsolete for nigh on a
thousand years.
Don't try to put words into the mouth of a complain-
ant; let him have his complete say first and thus save time
for yourself by having his side of the story before you
say or do anything.

CHIEF JOSEPH D. CORBY
Able Head of King City Police
Since 1942 when he was appointed Chief of" PoHce of
King City, Joseph D. Corby has made a lot of changes in
the organization of his Police Department.
With hut four men to preserve the peace of this busy
agricultural and cattle raising city, he has led in making
every man an expert in law enforcement.
Chief Joseph D. Corby
AH have taken the FBI course in law enforcement, and
Chief Corby passed his course with high honors. He has
installed a bureau of identification, equipped for taking
finger prints and photographs and his files are kept up-to-
date by prints and photos from outside points.
Like all cities, large or small, car stealing is a more than
common thing. But in King City Chief Corby and his
men for the past five months have recovered all cars stolen
in King City.
Chief Corby is arranging for two-way radio, and his
plans call for service from the California Highway Patrol.
One thing he takes particular interest in is his junior
traffic patrol. He personally directs this phase of his police
work, and since he has been Chief not a child has been
injured or killed by an automobile traffic accident, during
the time the children start for school and return to their

POLICE COMMUNICATION OFFICERS
ASSOCIATION
J. D. HossACK, President
R. E. Moore, Secretary-Treasurer
The regular monthly meeting of the Northern Califor-
nia Police Communication Officers Association was held at
the Municipal Auditorium in San Jose at II :00 A.M. on
the 11th of April. The minutes of the previous meeting
were read and approved as read after being corrected to
read 1634 kcs for use in the State of Nevada instead of
1674 as previously recorded.
Brower McMurphy reported on the Panel 13 meeting
of APCO in Chicago and gave some very interesting de-
tails of the problems that face police communications in the
matter of frequency allocations. The NCPCOA was well
represented at this meeting by Wm. Kpch of State For-
estry Department, Geo. Burton of Contra Costa County
Sheriffs Office and Brower McMurphy of Alameda County
Sheriffs Office.
As reported by Mr. McMurphy, there was considerable
divergence of opinion as to the relative merits of the block
system of frequency assignments as contrasted to the dis-
persed method of assignment. It was the opinion of the
representatives from this association that the block system
would offer advantages from the standpoint of reasonable
freedom from interference for the present as well as many
years to come and is well adapted to large as well as small
areas.
The delegates also reported that utilities are planning
large usage of radio frequencies in the future to the point
that the present emergency systems will represent only a
small percentage of the total mobile units in service.
The IRAC also has demands on the 30-40mc spectrum
that requires further study and APCO has made recom-
mendations to the Government in this respect. Mr.
McMurphy also told us of a map which is now in use by
the New England States which depicts excellently the geo-
graphical locations as well as assignments of frequencies.
This matter was referred to the frequency committee.
Bill Koch gave testimony as to the need of frequencies
in 72 to 76 mc band for long haul repeaters particularly
where line of sight operation is not feasible. Due to the
importance of this matter, Mr. Koch stayed over and
presented this testimony to the RTB group where it is now
a matter of record in the proceeding of that Kwrd. The
CAA IS expected to give up the 75 mc marker frequency
in the near future thus helping to clear up this band. The
entire report on the procedings of the panel I 3 meeting
were well given and covered in detail the various problems
confronting us in the future.
Mr, Koch reported that the State Department of For-
estry is planning installation of approximately 300 mobile
units operating on 31,940 kcs in the near future for state
wide coverage.
Stewart Naschke also reported on the use of the stand-
ard code by the California Highway Patrol and while the
directive covering this had not been released at the time
of the meeting, present indications are that stations oper-
ated by the State of California will use the old 10 code but
in counties where CHP is using facilities other than state,
the code in use by the station controlling the circuit will
become effective.
Mr. Brody of the FCC Primary Monitoring Station
called your Secretary and offered the assistance of his of-
fice to stations operating in the emergency service to run
down interference particularly where such interference is
not caused by other governmental services. He stressed the
importance of reporting such interference promptly giv-
ing data on frequency, call letters if any and possible ex-
cerpts from the transmission to further identify it if nec-
essary. Where such interference can be heard by the mon-
itoring station, much assistance can be given but when
the reports are delayed, it is sometimes impossible to liKate
the interference and no action is therefore possible. The
Monitoring Station is open 24 hours a day and can be
reached by calling SWeetwood 1612.
The arrangements for the Los Angeles joint meeting
with the CPRA were then discussed and last minute
changes for hotel reservations were noted by the secretary.
The application of John Maxwell was presented for

mcmhcrship and after being approved by the board of
directors, it was voted on favorably by the assixiation.
The meeting then recessed at 12:>0 and went to lunch-
eon at 1 :00 P. M. The guest speaker, H. P. Fehler gave a
very interesting talk on the human auditory system and
how it functioned and its relations to communication per-
sonnel. The subject was "Communication Intelligibility."

WAITING
(Continued from page 7 )
We were like two wild animals. Not a word was
spoken. We also had a dumb audience, and when I say
"dumh," I mean dumb — literally and figuratively. The
night clerk and the elevator boy were a well-behaved
audience — silent and still.
I won.
When I had taken the gun from my visitor and had
finished searching him my dumb audience excused itself
by the blanket statement that they were taken unawares.
Having won I naturally told them I bore no malice toward
them in the matter of their forgetting to lend me a hand.
I found seventy-eight sealed letters on my prisoner.
These letters later proved to have been taken from street
mail boxes.
The postal authorities had had trouble with my captive
for a number of years previously, as he was a top notch
professional mail box looter. It developed that his only
means of livelihood for thirteen years previous to the time
of my encounter with him was robbing mail boxes.
The key to his success in this precarious occupation
was his ability to make keys to fit every type of mail box
lock. He had this method of beating the Federal authori-
ties" lock makers down to a fine art.
The locks on various mail boxes — even in a small town —
run in different series. Nevertheless, his uncanny sense
of gauging the correct size and shape of key for ever>'
brand of lock used on boxes enabled him to equip himself
with keys to instantly open any mail box he determined to

prowl.
First class criminals generally take a professional pride
in whatever means they use in the perpetration of their
crimes, and B. F. Mills, alias Horace Fisher, was no cx'
ception to the rule. He bombastically spoke of his "gift"
of devising keys to open any and every United States
mail box.
Ft>r the making of this arrest I received the unstinted
praise of the local United States Postal Inspectors, who
stated they were conveying the good wishes of the Pos'
tal Inspectors of the United States on the capture of this
uncanny mail box burglar.
B. F. Mills, alias Horace Fisher, was tried in the Federal
Court in the General Post Office building at Seventh and
Mission streets and was rewarded for his mail box depre-
dations by a fourteen year vacation in the United States
penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas.
The United States Prosecuting Attorney in this city at
the time was Benjamin J. McKinlcy, a relative of the late
President McKinley.
I well remember how pleased I was at the conclusion of
the trial when Attorney McKinlcy complimented me on
the manner in which I encompassed the arrest of this
much'wanted criminal, and the manner in which the evi-
dence was secured and presented in court, thus enabling
a clear cut conviction.
Dreary, tiresome, heart-breaking watchful waiting is
something to be avoided — if at all possible. But, in the
police business, someone has to sit in on those watches —
and my heart goes out to the fellow who has to do the
watching.
It is all very well if, at the end of such a vigil we get
our man — but the best laid plans don't always work out
as we would have them. That is why an officer who falls
down on such a detail cannot be blamed entirely. Such an
officer has a world of sympathy coming from me — and
should have it coming from every one who calls himself
a police officer, even those who have never gone through
the agony of one of those so-called "Live Wakes" or
"Death Watches."

Post War Planning
Address of Chief Charles W. Dullea to the Annual Conveinion of the International Association of Chiefs of
Police. Held in Miami Beach, Florida, last month. He was chairman of the Committee on Post-V^ar Police Problems
In every area where war industries have been located
the population has swollen to tremendous proportions.
The United States Employment Services have recruited
labor from all parts of the United States and brought them
into communities which were totally unprepared to re-
ceive them. Adequate housing facilities were lacking and
colonization of groups and families into trailers and empty
stores was the accepted procedure until temporary hous'
ing units could be erected. Thousands of negroes from the
deep south were brought into communities that never had
experienced such a mixing of the races and in many in-
stances smouldering resentments were manifested by
clashes between groups. All of these people, male and fe-
male, are being paid the highest wages that were ever
paid to them. A great percentage of them are unskilled
and would not be employed in normal times. Most cer-
tainly they will be the first to be released in favor of the
returned veteran. Added to this group are those who are
physically handicapped, but who, notwithstanding their
defects, were employed, so great was the need for labor
in war industry.
In this period of unrest, subversive elements will flour^
ish. Radicals will find a fertile field in which to employ
their talents. Experience teaches us that when men are
out of work and hungry they will lend an attentive ear to
the subversive elements seeking to create revolutionary
situations.
Unemployment and low wages go hand in hand and
organized labor will resist attempts to take from them
the gains which they have made in their working condi-
tions and wages. Just as strenuously will the employer
seek a readjustment of conditions and wages to the pre-
war levels. This economic struggle will find the police, as
usual, playing a most important part in preserving the
peace and protecting life and property. Physical violence
invariably accompanies serious labor controversies, with
both sides offending.
Plans should be made to meet such situations should
they occur and the heads of law enforcement agencies
must insist that they be permitted to sit in with the oppos-
ing groups when they are having their conferences pre-
liminary to a threatened strike. We should know the
leaders of both sides and warn them that they will be held
responsible for any unlawful acts committed by their fol-
lowers and acting under their direction. Should picket
lines be established they should be under the direction of
a leader and he to be held accountable for their conduct.
Police should be admonished to pursue a neutral course
and strike to enforce the law without fear or favor. Police
vehicles should never be used to transport parties on
cither side of the controversy except when making an
arrest.
Mobilizing the department for emergencies need not be
dealt with in this discussion because such an order is a fun-
damental operation in all departments. Police Chiefs are
advised to give serious consideration to this particular
problem and prepare a plan which will fit their individual
needs. There are many authoritative articles dealing with
this subject which have been presented and discussed at
previous conferences and it is recommended that they be
re-read and studied.
Race riots where large groups of negroes are concen-
trated are always possible. A sincere effort should be made
to avoid situations which might precipitate a race riot.
Men detailed to patrol the negro districts should be se-
lected with care and should make a written report of all
incidents which might point to signs of unrest in the dis-
trict. Experience teaches us that riots rarely occur on the
spur of the moment, but on the contrary, are the accumu-
lation of incidents over a considerable period of time and
needing only a spark to touch oflF the general upheaval.
Proper evaluation of all such information by a super-
vising officer and the taking of proper steps to eliminate
causes of complaint will frequently avert serious disturb-
ances.
In planning a mobilization of the available resources
of a department in case of a civil disturbance, police chiefs
must view the problem in the light of post-war conditions
and re-vamp their present mobilization plans. It is quite
likely that military police and shore patrols will vanish
from our communities shortly and where they could be
used to advantage today, the same condition will not exist
later. Thus we find ourselves standing alone except for
the possible use of civilian defense organizations which
did such splendid work for their communities during the
period from Pearl Harbor up to the present date. Civilian
defense units, particularly the auxiliary police and air raid
wardens should not be allowed to disintegrate, but should
be continued as reserve units of the police department and
a program of activities mapped out for them. By keeping
them actively interested in departmental affairs they could
be used in times of mobilization to man station house, police
radio communication facilities, switch boards and perform
any number of police services which would release the
regular uniformed personnel for street duty in cases of
emergency.
EQUIPMENT
Police administrators should insist that mtxiern equip
ment be provided for their departments, pointing out that
an efficient police organization must have every facility in
order to cope successfully with their problems.
New police buildings must be provided in the post-war
building programs of a community and they should be
m(xJern in every particular and erected in locations suit-
able for rendering a maximum of police service. Motor
equipment, automobile and motorcycle, both solo and
Mdv, 1946

three-wheeler, should be requisitioned for. Thought should
be given toward using the three-wheelers for beat patrol.
They are economical of operation and should be radio
equipped, thus having the patrolman constantly in touch
with the station. Every police vehicle should be equipped
with the most modern radio communication sets and all
patrol cars should have loud speaker equipment to be
used when necessar>' in giving instructions, in controlling
crowds and in directing traffic or in other emergencies.
Police headquarters and stations should be equipped
with ever>' modern scientific device. Police departments
of a size sufficient to warrant its installation, should have
a laboratory adequately staffed and equipped to assist in
the investigation of serious crimes. Larger departments
should encourage their neighboring law enforcement units
to take advantage of their facilities. It is recommended
that you survey your needs immediately and file your
requisitions for materials, supplies and equipment, because
if you wait until the emergency arrives you will find your'
self just another agency of government appealing for aid
to a possibly unsympathetic audience.
Consideration should be given toward establishing a
committee within the I.A.C.P. to investigate the possi-
bility of obtaining equipment presently used by the armed
forces and suitable for police work. A vast supply of auto-
motive and radio equipment which will be of no use to
the army and navy vAW be available for police department
use. A catalogue of this material, setting out its descrip-
tion and location could be furnished to this committee, who
in turn could advise police chiefs who would be interested
in acquiring it. It is possible that grants could be made
by the government to police departments and thus pre-
vent this equipment from getting into possession of per-
sons who might use it unlavs.'fully.

retirement pension voted two years ago, and enjoy a well-
earned rest.
Inspector Manion did not stay in Chinatown for a quar-
ter of a century because he knew how to wear his hat in
the latest style, nor for his open handedness in entertaining,
or by showing special favors for a powerful few. He stayed
there because it did not take long for old time residents of
Chinatown, the merchants, big and small, and people who
wanted a law abiding community, to learn that they had
such a man in John J. Manion.
Tong wars periodically spring up in Chinatown and the
death list was appalling before peace conferences between

POLICE AND PEACE OFFICERS' JOURNAL
May, 1946
the warring tongs worked out a solution of the gunfire
outbreak.
Shortly after Inspector Manion took up his new assign-
ment, a couple of tongs declared war against each other.
The word got to the new Chinatown chief, and fast.
Sergeant Jack went to work. He secured advance informa-
tion of tong uprisings. He walked into tong meeting places
and announced that no war was to occur. He conferred
with Chinatown's controlling council, and the edict of no
more tong wors was the result.
When trouble brewed of which the council knew little,
Manion mapped campaigns that halted unrest almost be-
fore its inception. And there was no serious tong war in
San Francisco after Manion took over.
The hint that if a tong war broke out Chinatown would
be closed to all people to enter or leave had a salutary
effect. This did not appeal to the merchants who depend so
largely upon tourist trade as well as trade with neighbor-
ing Chinese who must come to this city to purchase goods.
He likewise passed the word along that gambling, in
any illegal form must stop, and it did.
He ferreted out the dealers in slave girls and by his
actions of invoking the laws of the land he stopped that
shameful traffic.
A few knockovers of opium dealers and raiding the few
places that took a chance to smoke the drug, soon con-
vinced those engaged in this unlawful business that it was
unprofitable and a sure way to break into a state prison.
Parents of Chinese children called upon him to disci-
pline their young ones, and by kindly council he turned
many a wayward youth into the paths of rectitude.
Once he wanted to quit the job and go back to the
Bureau of Inspectors. He made the announcement and
there was a swarm of Chinese, poor and rich, men and
women and children converging on the Hall of Justice, the
like of which have never been seen. Inspector Manion
changed his mind and stayed on for another 20 years.
This writer, who has known Jack Manion for over 33
years, can truthfully say that you will never find a finer
man, a more able, courageous and loyal officer, and we
predict that Sergeant John Dyer who has been appointed
his successor will measure up to the high standard of law
enforcement in Chinatofn as established by the retired
"Chief of Police of Chinatown."

OFFICER KANE PASSES ON
Officer Joseph T, Kane died May 1. in St. Mary's Hos-
pital, following an operation.
A young man. he was 41 years old, of fine character,
proven ability and extreme loyalty he saw an oppor-
unity of contributing something to the prevention of
crime. That something was understanding and working
with juveniles. A well set up man with a fine disposition
and a sense of humor he became a favorite with the young-
sters wherever he was assigned.
So sincere was his services in behalf of the boys and
girls of his native city, that in 1940 he was made an assis-
tant of Inspector Byron Ketchell in charge of the Junior
Traffic Patrol, and he contributed his share of seeing that
the school children of San Francisco were properly trained,
in keeping death and injuries by auto drivers at zero.
Officer Kane is survived by his widow, Marianne, and a
four-year-old son Joseph, and his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Kane, Sr.
Flint Removes Limit on Sick Leave Accrual
Under a recent revision of the Flint, Michigan, Civil
Service Commission rules, city employees can now accrue
sick leave on an unlimited basis. Hitherto, salaried em-
ployees accrued sick leave at the rate of one day for each
190 hours worked. Both categories of employees could
accumulate such leave up to a total of 36 days. In remov-
ing the ceiling on sick leave accumulation, the commission
believes that older employees will benefit, because of their
general need for more sick leave than younger employes.
The new policy, it is believed, will also discourage any
tendency to "spend" sick leave to prevent it from lapsing.

One Husband
CONFESSES
"I have a confession to make," says one
liberated husband. "I nerer did like washing
dishes. Yes, I used to be a good sport and give
the little woman a hand now and then . . .
at least by drying dishes. But all the time I
hated it.
"Then I got wise and investigated these
new Automatic Dishwashers. I saw how you
just stack dishes, cups, glasses and silverware
in a wire basket, close a door, turn a knob,
and all are hygenically washed, rinsed and
dried without my doing another thing. So I
had one installed.
"Boy, is this the life! Now I can plop down
with the sporting green after supper and
really r-e-1-a-x. Or we have plenty of time
to make that early show. Our dishes seem to
stay in one piece longer, too.
"I'll confess, fellows ... I don't see how
we ever got along without an Automatic Dish-
washer. Take my advice and ask about them
at your appliance dealer's store. You'll never
regret it."

Teamwork
One of the greatest teams in the West
is one which never loses — fortunately
for the rest of us.
It's the team made up of all peace
officers.
The record you made during the war
years is an impressive and a distin-
guished one. It's the kind of record
that lets us know none of the post-war
problems — and we know they're
mighty tough — can be too tough for
you.
Perhaps one of your heaviest prob-
lems is that of increased traffic and the
hazard of old cars fast wearing out.
There, we believe, we can be of actual
help to you — by intensifying our safety
campaign among 20,000 employees.
During 1946 we hope to reduce our
accident rate, make it even better than
our 1945 score of only 1 accident in
every 90,900 miles of driving.
We're proud of the team comprised
of sheriffs, policemen and highway
patrolmen. We're proud of your law-
enforcement record, and we're confi-
dent that you will maintain that
record.
STANDARD OF CALIFORNIA
You Wouldn't
Cripple
Your Child . . .
Why ruin his eyes?
Among grade - school children only
6 /'c have defective vision, but at twenty
years, 23%; at thirty years, 39%; at
fifty years, 71%.
Many homes have seriously inade-
quate lighting . . . insufficient light, glare
and harsh contrast. Working under such
light is largely responsible for that
shameful record. Our eyes are still "out-
door" eyes and function well in bright
sunlight, which may be TEN THOU-
SAND TIMES as bright as the light by
which some people try to read in their
homes.
Adequate lighting consists of having
enough light, properly diffused by means
of a glass bowl and correct type of shade.
A 500-watt bulb in a good lamp provides
little enough light for reading or close
work. That still is only a small fraction
of average daylight.
The penny-cost of good lighting is far
less than the eye-cost of bad lighting.
Eyesight is precious . . . why slowly ruin
it?

Junior Traffic Patrol Annual Review
San Francisco's "finest" (junior gra(Je) hel(d the spotlight
of puhHc attention when the School Safety Patrols staged
their annual paraiie and review at Kezar Stadium in
Golden Gate Park May 28. The city acknowledged its
debt of gratitude to the 3,200 junior safety officers who
guard their schcxslmates in traffic at crossings near schools
morning, noon and afternoons. An impressive — and im-
pressed— audience of city officials, representatives of public
safety organizations, parents, relatives, and friends to a
total of 10,000 gathered to honor the accident prevention
record of the School Safety Patrols.
This organization of young sentinels of safety is a pro-
ject in which the San Francisco Police Department has been
actively interested for many years; and the training of the
Safety Patrols in their duties has been continuously super-
vised by the Department.
tain Ralph E. Olstad, Commanding the Traffic Bureau;
and Inspector Byron J. Getchell (who for twenty years has
instructed the Safety Patrols) acknowledged and returned
the salutes of the patrol units. Present, also, were repre-
sentatives of other city departments having an interest in
the work of the Safety Patrols.
Joseph R. Knowland, Chairman of the Public Safety
Committee of the California State Automobile Association,
in his capacity as chairman of the day, in a brief address
pointed out that the accident prevention record of the
School Safety Patrols has caused this activity to be recog-
nized as one of the outstanding safety programs of our
time.
Mr. Knowland introduced Mayor Lapham, who on be-
half of the citizens of San Francisco, acknowledged the debt
Chief of Police Charles W. DuUea leads the regiment of 3.2nii S>;huol Safety Patrol members Iroiu San l'ranc;seo schouls at the an-
nual Parade and Review in Kezar Stadium, held just before the dose of the school term. With Chief Dullea are Acting Captain
Ralph E. Olstad, Traffic Bureau: and Inspector Byron J. Getchell, who for twenty years has supervised the training and the activi-
ties of the School Patrols.
The review marked another year during which no school
child has been injured in a traffic accident at a crossing
protected by a Safety Patrol. Thus the School Safety
Patrols look back on an unblemished twenty-three year
record of accident prevention.
The review, one of the most colorful in the long history
of the Patrols, drew a record audience. Led by six Junior
High School bands, patrol units from 126 public, parochial
and private schools marched past the reviewing stand,
where Mayor Roger Lapham, Chief of Police Charles W.
DuUca, Jerd Sullivan, President of the Police Commission;
Edward L. Turkington, Commission member; Acting Cap-

of safety.
Other guests in the reviewing stand, introduced by Mr.
Knowland, included Dr. Curtis E. Warren. San Fran-
cisco's Superintendent of Schools; Garrett McEnerney, II,
President, Board of Education; Mrs. George H. Bowman,
President, Second District, California Congress of Parents

The Primary Election
The state primary election, held June 4, brought many
surprises in the results. Principal was the unprecedented
sweeping victory of Governor Earl Warren. He not only
captured the endorsement of his Republican party by a
10 to 1 vote, but beat his Democratic opponent, Attorney
Generay Robert Kenney by upward of 100,000 votes.
John Claussen
T^apa County's T^ew SheriS
This is the first time in the history of the primary' law in
California that a candidate for the highest state office has
achieved this high honor. And Governor Warren is the
second governor to win reelection in over 50 years, the
last one to accomplish this feat was the late Senator Hiram
Johnson over thirty years ago when he was head man in
the state's government.
While his election at the primaries was brought about
by many reasons, nevertheless it can be safely claimed that
the peace officers of California played no small part in his
hugh success. From the time he was an Assistant District
Attorney in Alameda county he has made the cause of the
men who enforce the laws of this land, his top interest.
He has devoted untold days, weeks and months to seeing
that proper laws were enacted by the legislature and also
to see that those which would result as a detriment to them
in the performance of their constituted duties were de-
feated. He has authored many of the criminal laws that
have been placed on the statutes during the past 25 years.
As governor he has continued to give the law enforce-
ment officers his heartiest support and many meetings of
the various associations including District Attorneys, the
Sheriff's Association, the Constable's and Justice of the
Peace Association, the State Peace Officers' Association,
the Bay Peace Officers' Association have been honored by
his presence, and he has given of his experience, under-
standing, and ability constructive suggestions that have
contributed in a big way to the success of these organiza-
tions.
Two native San Franciscans, seeking state offices for the
first time, won a place on the Democratic ticket.
They are State Senator John F. Shelley for Lieutenant
Governor and District Attorney Edmund Brown, for
Attorney General. They made a fine showing and the
battle for election in November will find them heavily
backed by the voters of this area who are well aware of
the splendid records they have made in their respective
public offices.
Much interest was manifested in the races for the office
of Sheriff in the various Bay Counties.
In San Mateo County, Sheriff James J. McGrath will
be the chief enforcement officer for his fifth term, having
defeated his opponent, former UndersherifF Lawrence
Nieri.
Sheriff H. P. (Jack) Gleason beat a field of candidates
by a handsome majority, and will start his third term next
Januar)^
Sonoma county retains Sheriff Harry L. Patterson who
beat former Sheriff Al Wilkie.
Sheriff Don Cox, Sacramento, won by a vote of 2 to 1
over William Nisbitt.
Sheriff John Claussen defeated former Sheriff Jack
Stecker of Napa county.
Governor Earl Warren
Sheriff John N. Long, Contra Costa county wen by a
handsome vote.
Sheriff Jack Thornton, of Solano county, was elected to
serve another term as top enforcement officer of his native
county.
Santa Clara will have a runoff at the NoveniK^r election.
Sheriff Walter Sellmer of Marin county had a Vvalk-

excellently.

Police Fraternity, Lambda Alpha Epsilon
Started by Oakland Police Inspectors, Gains National Reputation for Peace Officers
By B. S. (Sandy) Sanders, retired veteran police reporter, editor and author
When "hard-boiled peace officers" go collegiate, it's
news!
But when a group of energetic, far-seeing officers of
law enforcement, say:
"This is our life work. Let's get better acquainted.
Let's get together now and then and discuss our mutual
problems. Let's work along together and get the most out
of our service to the public" — well, that is super-nev s!
into Anglo-Saxon language means: "Detect - Apprehend
Prosecute."
Purposes Behind Fraternity
The aims and purposes of the fraternity as set forth,
following ten or more committee meetings, and still fore
most in the minds of members, are:
1 — To promote a greater fraternal relationship among
graduates of technical and professional police schools.
Lt. Walter Hawkinson
Oakland B of I
O: iicFR W A. Hanskn, Alameda
Pr^sidint Alpha Chapter
T. P. Hunter, U. S. N.
Executive Committeeman
So, out of the collegiate Greek-letter fraternity idea and
the ambition of California peace officers to unite in close
union has come Lambda Alpha Epsilon — the only police-
fraternity of "brotherhood and mutual associations of
ancient Greece where Democracy first took root" in the
hearts of men — in all the world.
Fraternity Begin In 1937
The story starts in the summer of 1937. It was at the
San Jose State College, a series of 3-weeks training for
law enforcement officers — a new idea financed by the
Bureau of Trade and Industrial Education of the State
Department of Education, organized under the auspices
of the State Peace Officers Association and the State
Advisory Committee of Peace Officers Training, of which
Governor Earl Warren (then district attorney of Ala-
meda county) was chairma'^
Out of the training days, where eager and enthusiastic
peace officers from all parts of California attended, came
the idea and the fulfillment. Frank Gompert of the Los
Angeles sheriff's office, instructor at the school, was se-
lected as temporary chairman, while Earl Warren, sin-
cerely, forcefully backed the idea of a fraternity to be
known as Lambda Alpha Epsilon, which broken down
2 — To promote higher standards of educational attain-
ments among peace officers.
3 — To promote the institution of courses of police
science by recognized colleges and universities.
4 — To promote research projects in the field of police
science.
5 — To promote a better understanding by the public <■:
the aims and ideals of peace officer organizations.
6 — To promote the selection of properly trained per
sonnel for law enforcement positions.
7 — To promote stand.ird modern methods in the field oi
law enforcement.
8 — To promote unity of action among law enforccmcn;
agenies.
And over the nine years members of Lambda Alpli.i
Epsilon have carried on in the purposes set forth in its
beginning.
Distinguished Peace Officers Are Members of LAE
Peace officers whose names will go down in the history
of this mighty nation of ours are honorary members of
this fraternity.
Among them are such men as J. Edgar Hoover, director
of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Washington, D.C.;

Chief Lamoureux of San Leandro
Page 7
Last November Chief J. F. Peralta after heading the
San Leandro Police Department for 34 years decided to
take his retirement pension. He stepped out of the job
that he had so ably filled for over three decades. A short
time later he was taken to a hospital for an operation and
he never came out alive. His passing created great sorrow
not only among his townsmen but of the Peace Ofiicers of
the State of California, who had hoped he would enjoy
many more years of happy life.
Fortunately for San Leandro they had as competent a
man to fill the shoes of their veteran chief. For on Novem-
ber 1, Captain Artel J. Lamoureux was appointed Chief
of Police.
For over 1 5 years Captain Lamoureux has been a mem-
ber of the Police Department of this bustling little city,
Academy course, and he has a well arranged system of
files properly indexed.
Through close cooperation between the forces of Sheriif
Jack Gleason, the Oakland and Berkeley Police Depart-
ment, San Leandro has a fine record for law enmorcement.
The Police Department has grown since Chief Lamour-
eux joined it, for in 1930 he was the ninth man on the
force. Today he has 2 3 ofiicers and two clerks to police the
city's 27,000 population and its four and a half square
miles of territory.
Today he has five two-way equipped patrol cars and
four motorcycles that have a hookup with the Sheriff's
radio system.
The crime reported in San Leandro of the higher brack-
ets are almost non existent. They had a murder last year

east of Oakland. He joined August 11, 1930, his first
assignment being on a motorcycle. He was later made a
patrolman, and for fast moving through the ranks he set
a pace that is seldom equalled in any police department.
He was promoted to a Sergeancy July 1, 1934; to Lieu-
tenant September 16, 1936 and made a Captain May 1,
1937. He served well in this rank until he was elevated to
the top spot in the Department,
Last year he was sent with Deputy Sheriff Richard
(Dick) E, Condon, of the Alameda Sheriff's ofiice to
attend the FBI National Academy in Washington, D. C.
and graduated with the 29th class on July 21, 1945, being
high man in the course which turned out 78 representatives
from state, county and local law enforcement agencies,
brought from 30 states and the Panama Canal Zone.
Chief Lamoureux, has since his return to active duty
installed many of the features he learned in the National
that was solved by the murderer committing suicide. There
hasn't been a robbery for a long time, they have a few
burglaries and a few automobiles are driven away with
larcenous intent.
The big thing that amazes police officials hereabouts is
the lack of fatalities from traffic accidents. During 1945
San Leandro, with one other city in the United States
under the 30,000 population bracket, didn't register a
single death from an automobile mishap. They have two
main highways running through the city limits and the
traffic they carry to northern and southern points is ter-
rific, but the boys who look after the speedy and reckless
drivers are on the job to dispel any inclination to beat the
law. And then there is the police court where offenders
are brought to face charges of traffic law violations. Here
no fixing is permitted. It was just a short time ago when

The Blind Witness
By Inspector Harry /. Majors, Robbery Detail S.F.P.D.
Harold Nelson, a happy, carefree young man, little
thought, as he alighted from an east bay train at First
and Mission Streets in San Francisco, that he was to meet
with one of the most unfortunate experiences in his young
life. He was coming to San Francisco to visit his folks
Inspector Harry Majors
whom he had not seen in several months and started
walking up First Street towards Market. It was a warm
evening and still only nine o'clock, so he just thought he
would stop in one of the numerous taverns and quench
his thirst with a bottle of beer.
NEXT MORNING— DarrcU Spurlock, the manager of
the Gilmorc Oil Station at Main and Howard Streets, was
opening his station for business. It was Friday, June 9th,
1944. He heard some agonizing groans coming from the
rear of the plant and upon going back to investigate he
found a young man in a semi-conscious condition with his
head and face badly beaten and his eyes almost squashed
out of their sockets. He was horrified at the man's condi-
tion. The man couldn't tell just what happened. He im-
mediately called the Emergency Hospital. At the Harbor
Emergency Hospital the officers on the scene learned that
the victim was a young man named Harold Nelson, who
lived at 2603 Lake Street, San Francisco. However, Nel-
son was in such extreme pain that he could give only a
few minor details which indicated that he had been vi-
ciously slugged by someone and robbed of his wallet and
money and watch. He remembered arriving at the train
terminal about 9 p. m. and said he was going to visit hi<
folks whom he had not seen in several months, and had
partaken of several drinks of beer, but was sober. This wa.«
alUthe information that could be obtained by the officers
first on the scene as the doctor said that the young man's
condition was critical and needed expert medical attention
immediately. Two wallets belonging to the victim were
found several blocks away that morning by a street

sweeper, but the money had been taken from same. A pre-
liminary examination by the emergency doctor disclosed
that Nelson would probably lose the sight of both eyes from
the blows administered by the "thugs."
Inspectors Max Reznik and George P. Wafer of the
Robbery Detail then took up the investigation. Due to
the victim's condition, however, they were unable to
gather any more details of the crime, and it appeared to
them that here was another case of a victim being beaten
so badly that he would never again be able to give any
clear details as to just what happened, and would be
permanently blinded as a result of the injuries and never
be able to identify the suspects who had robbed him.
They set the case aside, hoping some information would
be uncovered that would give them a fresh start on the
case.
in a walnut grove in Contra Costa County, picking wal-
nuts. He said his name was Joe Casey Hughes.
Inspectors Reznik and Wafer lost no time in going out
to interview Nelson. Their heart and soul were in this
Joe Casey Hughes
Brutal Thug
Several months had elapsed and meantime they had
visited the hospital numerous times to see Nelson, but his
mind appeared blank as to just what happened the night
of the robbery. No further details could be obtained from
him. It was necessary for the doctors to operate and
remove his eyes, and then they sent him home to con-
valesce. Well, this appeared to be the end of the inves-
tigation. Inspector Majors then filed the reports on this
incident and marked the case as "INACTIVE."
It was late in September of 1944 when Inspector Majors
answered a phone call in the Robber>- Detail. The voice
on the other end of the line said : "THIS IS HAROLD
NELSON. DO YOU REMEMBER MY CASE?" How
well we remembered this case. A young man being beaten
and robbed of only forty dollars and losing the sight of
both eyes couldn't be forgotten easily. Nelson's mind was
very clear now. He gave the details that happened at the
tune of the incident very definitely. He even mentioned
the name of one of the men that participated in the rob-
bery and said he had worked with him the previoijs Fall

case. There, Nelson gave them all the details. He said
he stepped into a tavern with a long bar and had a drink
of beer. It was somewhere on First Street near Mission,
he recollected; however, he did not know the name of it.
It was the night of June 8th, 1944. Here, he said, he met
Hughes, and that some unknown man was with Hughes
at the bar. They walked out of the bar with Nelson after
he had finished his beer, and as they were going up the
street, Hughes remarked that he had a pint of whiskey
on him and if Nelson would step into a little alley they

were passing he would give him a swig out of it. Nelson,
knowing Hughes from the farm, did not think an>-thing
wrong about it. So they walked up the alle>- a ways and

BAY COUNTIES'
Peace Officers* Association
MEETINGS EVERY MONTH
Sheriff Howard P. Gleason. President
Captaint Bern'ard McDonald, Secretary-Treasurer
Meeting of the Bay Counties' Peace Officers' Association
held at Club Dominies, Vallejo, California, on Wednes-
day, May 29, 1946, Earl Dierking, Chief of Police, "Vallejo,
host.
Meeting was called to order by the President, Sheriff
H. P. Gleason. The members of the official family of Val-
lejo were introduced to the Association, followed by the
introduction of prominent members and guests of the
membership.
Sheriff Gleason then called upon Chief John Greening,
who in turn called on C. B. McMurphy, who with George
K. Burton has been working very hard on the radio situa-
tion, for the past several months. Mr. McMurphy gave a
short report on the radio situation in police departments
and also stated that there were a limited number of receiv-
ing and transmitting sets available at a low price and if
any department was interested in purchasing same, he
would furnish them full particulars.
A communication was received asking that a resolution
be passed requesting the University of California to con-
sider the situation with regard to planning police training
and improving facilities for same. It was moved, seconded
and carried that it be referred to the Executive Committee
for action.
The Secretary reported that as yet nothing had been
done regarding the resolution which was sent to the Motor
Vehicle Department regarding the inspection of numbers
on out of state machines, but he understood that it would
be acted upon in the very near future.
The matter of attendance of Chiefs of Police at the
next meeting of the International Association of Chiefs of
Police in Mexico City was taken up and communications
from that body were read to the Association.
The President then introduced the guest speaker. Ho-
ward Fletcher, Special Agent in Charge of the San Fran-
cisco district of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Mr.
Fletcher stated that he hoped that the fishing and hunting
would be as good as that which he had been accustomed to
in South Dakota. He then gave a very fine talk on his
subject the highlight of which follows:
"All individuals are dependent upon one another. We
have set up a form of government which permits us to live
and get along together. To make this work wc have set up
rules and regulations which we describe as law. As there
will be always some that will not follow the rules, police
agencies had to be organized. These police agencies were
first organized along the line that the police problem was
local in character and it was only in recent years that we
found it necessary to go beyond. We have found out that
there can be no such thing as a national police force. Tin
strength of enforcement lies in the local police departments.
Transportation has become easier, cheaper and faster and
crime has become a big business. Some crimes have re-
mained local in character but others have become interstate
and that's where the Federal Bureau of Investigation steps
in and we have to depend on the local police. The FBI is
not self-sufficient; no police department is self-sufficient
We all have to work together. First we have to get aloiiL
with the public. We all have to work with the Courts, tli
prosecutors, the penal institutions and parole agencies. Th
police department must cooperate with itself. It must act
as a team. Any time that a police department fails to co-
operate with itself and permits jealousy to become impor-
tant it can never be efficient. The individual in the police
department must coojjerate with himself. We write laws
in books, but we enforce them through the police officer.
He must believe in good things and live up to those good
things. No officer can be a good officer unless he has a
deep enough belief in God. Employed and placed in a
position of trust, he must take an interest and active part
in the affairs of his community. Jealousy has no part in
police work and no police officer can be too idealistic
There is no police department in this United States that is
self-sufficient. The FBI could not function unless it has
your confidence and unless it merits your respect. Ever\
thing that any police organization obtains is a result of the
help it gained from others. Let us drop the word coopera-
tion and use the words wor\ing together in its stead."
President Gleason than thanked Chief Fletcher for his
very fine talk and assured him that he would find our game
out here better than he ever found in South Dakota.
Chief Robert O'Brien then invited the Association tu
hold its next meeting at San Mateo and the membership

VALLEJO POLICE
On July 26, Earl Dierking completes his sixth year as
Chief of Police of Vallejo. In those six years there has
been fought World War II, and Vallejo played a con-
spicuous part in the victor^' that came to these United
States and our allies. For Vallejo was the big center of
naval preparations, with Mare Island Navy Yards putting
out many a fighting vessel, and repairing and servicing
many more. Through the operations of this important Pa-
cific coast plant ships were kept able to transport the nec-
essary' men and materials to far flung western battle scenes,
and the warships put in shape to meet the heavy battles
that did so much to end the war.
Naturally Mare Island Yards called on thousands of men
to man the various units, and to Vallejo came tens of thou-
sands of men, women and children.
From a population of 17,500 in 1940 the permanent
population zoomed to nearly 45,000 within the city limits
William Webb, who was killed on Okinawa, May 28,
1945.
His force of half a hundred is now located in headquar-
ters that have been streamlined to meet the requirements
of the Department.
Prominent is the main entrance for the department, cut
through the Marin Street side of the City Hall, which leads
into the reception room at which a uniformed officer is
constantly on duty. Formerly entrance was gained by go-
ing through the main door of the City Hall, down a hall
and thence down a short flight of stairs.
A department for the traffic bureau has been set up,
and down in the basement great changes have been made.
Here are housed the two-way radio system, Vallejo having
been given a higher voltage, and there is monitored through
the new panel, Sacramento Highway Patrol, Martinez
Sheriff's office, Berkeley, Napa and Benicia giving the
utmost in radio police coverage for the thriving little city.
Fifteen radio equipped patrol cars and five motorcycles
are serviced through the station.

tification, and here is found an up-to-date filing system for

and in adjacent territory that was transformed like magic
in livable quarters for this great influx of workmen and
40,000 more were housed.
Today the city population remains static at around
43,800, and those outlying housing projects are still filled
with people who find work in the nav)' yards and in busi-
ness and industry that followed the increased activity in
the yards.
Housing is as an acute problem today as it was tw.'0 years
ago.
Throughout the war period Vallejo law enforcement
kept the city as free from crime as would be found in any
other cit\- in this country.
With a police force of 22 men under his command in
1940 Chief Dierking today has fifty men and women in
his department.

Paries Palmatus^^
By B. C. Bridges, Supt. Bureau of Identificatiort, Alameda Police Department
It was an unusually sensational trial, and the court was
crowded to capacity. There appeared to be little doubt
of the blind boy's guilt. Step by step, the prosecution
had built up a chain of incriminating evidence until the
death verdict was expected as a matter of course. No one
B. C. BRIDCIiS
Superintendent B of I Alameda Police Department
else (so they contended) could have committed the mur-
der. As a matter of fact, the suspect's knife had been
found still imbedded in the body of the victim, the de-
fendant's own father. And if additional proof were
vyanting, there were the fingerprints — bloody fingerprints!
— stretching along the walls from the scene of the crime
to the son's sleeping quarters. True, the marks were some-
what lacking in evidential value, since they were so badly
smeared that no legible ridge patterns could be recognized.
Nevertheless, their size, at least, agreed convincingly with
the defendant's hands, which seemed ample indication
under the circumstances.
Chief witness for the prosecution, the son's grief-
stricken stepmother, had been loud in her condemnation,
telling how she awakened in the early hours before dawn,
to find her husband silent in death at her side, slain by
an assassin. The sympathetic listeners were moved by her
testimony.
However, despite the strong forces of accusation ar-
rayed against him, the prisoner had at least one assurance,
since he could have found none more competent to protect
his interests than his present defender. In view of this
man's high reputation and legal standing, curious specu-
lation could only surmise why so famous an attorney had
volunteered to aid the accused youth. It was agreed that
the very utmost ar\y lawyer could hope to do in behalf
of such a client would be to enter a plea of insanity, and
beg for lenience. The blind boy's case seemed hopeless,
indeed; but miracles had been known to happen, even in
a court of law.
All the opposing witnesses had testified; now the prose-
cution rested, and the attorney for the defense was about
to be heard. The clarion challenge of his familiar voice
was known to many, as was the rhetorical style which he
always chose to affect in his court delivery. This was the
awaited moment. An expectant silence fell as the blind
boy's conselor arose.
"Citizens assembled", he began, "you have heard the
accusations against this youth, who stands before you un-
justly charged with the slaying of his father. I here pro-
claim this blind hoy innocent! — and I am well-prepared to
prove his vindication! You have heard the wife of the
deceased testify, as plaintiff in the case, that she awakened
at early morning to find her husband slain. I now request
that this woman be recalled for cross-examination."
There was a subdued murmur throughout the court as
the plaintiff came forward with notable confidence.
"When first you found your husband dead," the attor-
ney asked, after the stepmother had taken the stand,
"what did you then do?"
"I was overcome with grief," she answered, "I knew
not what to do — but presently I ran to the room of my
stepson."
"You went to your stepson to tell him of his father's
death?"
"Yes," she replied, "and though I ran, screaming as
I went, I found him seemingly asleep! With much shout-
ing and shaking, I awakened him. For one who usually
starts or wakens at the slightest noise, I dare say he was
feigning slumber."
The lawyer eyed her quizzically.
"After finally arousing your stepson, what did you then
do?" he asked.
"I returned to my room with my stepson," she said,
"and we bemoaned our common loss."
"Knowing your husband dead," he asked, after a brief
pause, "did you then suspect who might have committed _
this terrible deed?"
"At first I had no suspicion," she replied, "but when
daylight came into the room, I began to see more clearly.*
"What," he questioned "did the light of day reveal?'1
"I saw the weapon," she answered in a lowered tone, "I|
saw the weapon with which my beloved husband had bcci
killed — It was the dagger of my stepson!"
"How did you know it was your stepson's knife?"
asked sharply.
"I knew it by the hilt," she asserted, "it has a curiou
form."
The attorney again paused for a moment.
"The weapon's hilt was clearly visible when first you
saw it in the early morning light?" he asked presently.

"Yes," she said with assurance, "I could see it plainly!"
"There was no blood or stain of any kind to mar your
vision?" he questioned.
"No!" she declared, "the hilt was clean — without a
trace of blood!"
"And was this knife the only evidence to prove your
stepson's guilt?" he asked.
"No!" she said emphatically, "there were his finger-
prints in Hood upon the walls! "
"These fingerprints you tell us were upon the walls,"
he suggested, "perhaps they were imprinted there at some
other time, and possibly through some casual accident.
Were the impressions made from left hand or from right?"
"No!" she protested, "they were left there by the
murderer! And it was plain that both hands had touched
the walls on either side — the left hand and the right!"
"The imprints of both palms were plainly visible," he
asked, "and all the prints were made in blood?"
"Yes," she agreed, "the palm and fingers of both hands
were clearly indicated."
"And all the fingerprints upon the walls extend from
your bed-chamber to that of your stepson's?"
"Yes, that is true," she said.
"Is their direction well defined? How far apart are
the blood-stained fingerprints separated?" he asked.
"They are quite closely placed," she assured, "with no
more than twice a hand's breadth between the marks."
"And are the fingerprints near to your stepson's door
still sharp and clear?" he asked. "Perhaps the traces in
reality lead to some other place."
"No! No!" she protested vehemently, "they lead most
surely to his sleeping-room where the marks are just as
deeply dyed as in the room where my husband was mur-
dered!"
"Is it then some distance from your bed-chamber to
your stepson's room?" he ventured.
"Yes," she said, "perhaps thrice a score of strides — the
full length of our dwelling."
"And from these facts," he conclued, "you are con-
vinced that it was your stepson who caused your husband's
death?"
"Yes! Yes!" she cried, "I know it was he who killed
him — and I pray that he be punished!"
The attorney's level gaze held the woman for several
seconds; then he turned to his audience.
"From this incontestable evidence," he said, "it seerrs
reasonable to conclude that the bloody fingerprints were
made by the hands of guilt. We will question the woman
no further. I now desire to examine the blind boy."
When the defendant had been called to the stand, his
attorney addressed him: "Young man, you are the stepson
of the woman who accuses you of this crime?"
"Yes," the boy replied, "I am."
"And the murdered man was your father?"
"Yes," the lad answered.
"Your father was dear to you, was he not?" the attor-
ney inquired gently.
"Yes," said the youth simply, "I loved him."
The attorney paused.
"It is said that you cannot see," the lawyer asserted
presently, "is that also true?"
"Yes," said the boy in a low voice, "I am blind."
"Through what misfortune did you lose your sight?"
the attorney asked.
"Some time since, there was a fire within our dwelling,"
the boy related. "My father, overcome by smoke, could
not escape unaided, and I carried him to safety. When
I returned, attempting to bring forth my mother also, I
was blinded by the flames, and my mother perished."
"When both parents were imperiled," the lawyer as-
sumed, "you chose to save your father?"
"Yes," the boy agreed.
Again the lawyer hesitated briefly while his eyes swept
the court.
"When later your father took a second wife," the
counselor asked, "was it with your approval?"
"I urged him to remarry," the boy assented. "He
needed someone to care for him — one who could see."
The \a.wyeT paused once more.
"Did you hear sounds of a struggle or any uncommon
noise within your home at the time your father was
slain?" he asked after a moment.
"No," the boy declared, "although I am a light sleeper,
I heard nothing until my stepmother came screaming to
my bedchamber."
"You were asleep until her screams awakened you?"
the lawyer conjectured.
"Yes," the youth agreed.
"What did you do when you heard the screams of your
stepmother?" the attorney asked.
"I arose from my bed as quickly as I could," the boy
explained, "and met her at the door of my room."
"And you had no sooner reached the door when your
stepmother entered," said the lawyer, "is that true?"
"Yes," the boy affirmed, "that is true. "
"The dagger with which your father was slain," the at-
torney inquired, "the weapon was in truth your own?" „
"Alas, it was," the boy admitted, "but it has not been
in my hands for three years or more since I lost my sight.
What need has a blind man for a dagger?"
"It is recorded that your father was possessed of con-
siderable estate," the lawyer declared, "is that also true?"
"Yes," the youth agreed, "my father was a man of
moderate wealth,"
"And, according to the laws and customs of our coun-
try, a large portion of this estate becomes vested in his
wife with the advent of your father's death?" the attorney
speculated.
"Yes," said the boy, "I understand that this is true."
"It is recorded that your father was an honest man.
and a law-abiding citi:;en," the lawyer stated. "Know
you of any enemies who might have so cruelly taken his
life?"
"My father had no enemies. " the youth answered, "he
v.'as a friend of everyone."
The boy's emotion was obvious, and tears were on his
cheeks. His attorney drew a protecting arm about the
lad's shoulders the while he again scanned the silently
attentive faces of the court, regarding last the plaintiff,

Santa Clara Has New Police Chief
Santa Clara has a new Chief of Police, the first change
in its police chief in 3^ years. The new chief is John James
O'Neill, who has for the past eight years been day desk
officer and secretary for retiring Chief George P. Fallon.
When former Chief Fallon decided to lay aside his
duties as hc:id enforcement officer of Santa Clara, a posi-
4
Chief John J. O'Neill
tion he has held for 35 years, first as City Marshal then as
Chief of Police, the matter of his successor was up to the
voters of the beautiful and rich little city in the center of
Santa Clara Valley. Officer O'Neill who joined the Po-
lice Department in 1934 announced his candidacy, and in a
closely contested election won out over his opponent on
April 1.
The election of Officer O'Neill was a well-merited one.
A native of Santa Clara, having been born in that city 45
years ago, he attended the public schools and then entered
Santa Clara University, graduating in 1919 after finishing
a business administration course. He engaged in various
businesses until 1934 when he entered the Police Depart-
ment. The Department then numbered five men with the
Chief. Today Chief O'Neill has ten men working under
his direction. He served as a patrolman for some four
years and then was brought into the office by Chief Fallon,
where during the last few years he has had the unofficial
title of assistant Chief of Police.
He has had a major part in making the Police Depart-
ment a well-organized body of men devoted to preserving
the peace, and with his background of business experience,
his education, and with a typical Irish sense of humor and
understanding of the many problems that face the people of
all communities, he has been able to grasp many things that
mean better law enforcement.
He plans no great changes, for as he says Chief Fallon
did such a magnificent job that trying to improve on his
administration would be akin to painting the lily white.
He has a force of ten men with Officer Kenneth Laugh-
ran taking his former place as day desk man and secretary;
Officer John F. Thomas in charge of the night shift; Officerj
Lawrence George in charge of Traffic.
Other officers are: William Phillips, Rano Orselli, Neil
Tremaine, James W. Wing. Earl C. Perry, Mario Raviz?
and Alfred Cunha.
Santa Clara today has a permanent population of 9,00C
increased by 1 ,000 university students, and with transient
engaged in the many industries and packing houses this
number is swelled considerably. The city limits have been
increased by the addition of a square mile, which with the
old limits, with 22 miles of streets, is well covered 24 hours
a day by two motorcycles and three radio-equipped patrol
cars. Chief O'Neill is planning to have two-way radio in-
stalled in his department, replacing the present one-way
system. He hopes to get a frequency for his city and if
unsuccessful will probably depend on San Jose's efficient
police radio station.
There are many activities that means employment for
upward of 5,000 people. Leading in these are the Pacific
Manufacturing Company, one of the largest on the Pacific
Coast; Rosenberg Packing plants, Pratt Preserving Com-
pany, Security Warehouse and Storage Co., Pacific Red-
wood Casket Company, Santa Clara County Walnut
Growers' Association, Bakers Food Products, Western
Forge and Flange Company, Pacific Manufacturing Co.
Santa Clara County Pear Growers' AsstKiation, A, Brock
Fruit Co., and Union Paving Co. These concerns each em-
ploy from 200 to 400 people.
Santa Clara has its own water and power department
and this public ownership has been a great success.
With Santa Clara University increasing its student body
from some 250 boys to an estimated 1,000, Chief O'Neill
anticipates no trouble for his department with the student
body, for he states that ever since he has been a memK-r
of the police force, for over 12 years, not once has the
police been called in to handle any untoward event. This

Emeryville*s New Police Chief
July, 1946
When Chief Louis Mann retired on pension as head of
the Emeryville Police Department a year ago in May, the
powers that be appointed as his successor Arthur G.
Block, who has been a member of the force since 1927.
Coming to Emeryville from the Oakland Police Depart-
Chief Frank Farina
ment. The appointment was a gesture of appreciation for
the nearly 20 years of faithful service Officer Bock had
rendered his adopted city. In June he reached the age of
retirement and automatically went out of active service.
The same powers who granted this well earned recog-
nition of Chief Block lost no time in appointing a new
chief, this time it was Frank Farina, who had for many
years been Assistant Chief of Police under Chief Mann.
Chief Farina, born in Indiana came west in 1921 and
after following his vocation as salesman, in Oakland,
moved into Emeryville, and in 1934 became a member of
its Police Department.
A well set up man he soon proved he was an able aflicer
of the law and he handled all of the few munders, robber-
ies and burglaries that happened since he joined so well
that in 1940 he was elevated to the position of Assistant
Chief of Police.
When he became a police officer in Emeryville the late
Chief Charles Carey was head of the Department, which
at the time consisted of eight men to police the mile square
area of the little industrial city. Today Chief Farina has
1 1 men and this force gives first rate protection to the
town's .^^00 residents, the 30,000 who work there and of
the many industries that flourish in the small area of its
city limits.
The end of the war has found no let up of the many
plants; in men employed and goods manufactured.
The first murder in 2^ years tcxik place a few months
ayo but the perpetrators of this homicide have paid for
their crime in San Quentin's gas chamber.
Another murder was committed on March 31, and that
too will be solved, because Chief Farina and his men yield
nothing to the Northwest Mounted Police when it comes
to working on a case that ends in their bringing in their
man.
There were no traffic deaths for 1945, which is amazing
because two main highways go through Emeryville, carry-
ing thousands upon thousands of automobiles monthly.
Chief Farina has two patrol cars and three motorcycles,
equipped with radio, service by the Berkeley police radio
station.
Burglaries and robberies are a scarce thing in Emery-
ville and other types of so called major crimes just don't
happen there.
Chief Farina is married and his wife was the former
Miss Nellie O'Malley, a resident of San Francisco.

THE CANDID FRIEND
By Opie L. Warner
Reading of the efforts of former President Herbert
Hoover for the hungry people of Europe reminds me of a
newspaper controversy Mr. Hoover started some twenty
years ago in relation to lawless killings in the United States.
Mr. Hoover at that time was quoted, in the press,
as saying: "More than 9,000 human beings are lawlessly
killed in the United States every year. Little more than
half as many arrests follow. Less than one-sixth of these
are adequately punished."
Some editors, deeming the president's words an insult
to the police officers of the United States, doubted his state-
ment and decided to check conditions. Particularly was
this the case in one state. The checkup showed that, in that
particular state, 110 pers<3ns had been in court during the
year on murder charges; that only one out of the whole
110 paid the death penalty; that ')'! were convicted and
sent to prison. How did the other half a hundred mur-
derers get away?
Staggered by these findings, a further check revealed
that only two crimes in five resulted in convictions and
punishments. And there seems to be no ground for be-
lieving that the state in question is any worse than any
other state in this respect.
I have been in courts many years and thus know from
experience that any breaks there are in a criminal case
seem always on the side of the criminal — and that he usu-
.illy has better than an even chance to beat the case.
Usually, at the preliminary hearing, the officer seems to
have all the cards. Weeks or months later, before a tired
jury, the officer sometimes seems more or less unimpressive,
and one or more of the jurors begin to appear apathetic,
while, at the same time, the defense attorney rails against
the evidence — or total lack of it — as presented by the
police.
When you are on a case be sure to remember your pre-
sentation of your evidence is the card the defendant has to
beat. You cannot play cards which are not in your ha'nd.
Some of these cards are your witnesses; well, be sure they
arc in court and be sure to know the "facts" to which they
are to testify, not what they heard someone say — and defi-
nitely not something which they surmise.
As a final word: Facts are what you are playing; do not
even remotely attempt to use anything else. Be calm, cool
and collected in presenting your facts; otherwise some
juror may get the idea you are persecuting the defendant—
and cast his or her vote in favor of said defendant.
PRESIDENT TRUMAN CALLS
TRAFFIC CONFERENCE
Attending the Highway Safety Conference called by
President Truman, and held in Washington during May,
was Chief Charles W. Dullea, of San Francisco, Deputy
Chief Caldwell of Los Angeles, Chief E. Raymond Cato,
California Highway Patrol, Director of Motor Vehicles
Edgar Lampson, H. J. Brunnier and Edwin S. Moore of
the California Automobile Association, and representa-
tives from other cities of California.
Delegates from all the 48 states were present and the
meeting was called to order by Major General Philip B.
Fleming, on May 8.
The meeting was addressed by President Truman,
Supreme Justice Douglas and Congresswomen Clare Booth
Luce.
The President said in his address that the main share
of public responsibility for traffic regulation rests with the
state and IcKal agencies. "It is squarely up to these agen-
cies," he said, "to deal with the small group of traffic
incorrigihlcs, the morons and the crazy people who have
no business with car wheels at all, and who cause so much
trouble to so many." He said the license to drive is a privi*
lege that can and must be denied if abused.
To carry out the plan of the President's Highway Safety |
Conference, three committees were proposed to coordinate J
a highway traffic safety program on a nationwide scope.
These committees are: from federal departments; from'
state officials and from non-official organizations construct-
ively identified with traffic control.
Chief Dullea summed up the conference as one that will
bring about much good, and pointed out that with an ever
mounting toll of death and destruction it will take some-
thing like this, on a nationwide plan to awaken the people
of America to the needless slaughter and injuries.

Inspector Leo O^Connor Pensioned
Page 21
Inspector Leo O'Connor, after nearly 22 years of ef-
fective service with the San Francisco Police Department,
was given a disability pension June 8, and after a few
weeks at Guerneville, will leave for the 'Veterans" Hospital
at Tucson, Arizona, to recover from the effects of a fall he
sustained in the line of duty a year ago.
Inspector O'Connor joined the department on Novem-
ber I, 1924, and after serving in the old Company M dis-
trict less than a year was brought into the Bureau of In-
spectors. Here, by painstaking work, and his ability to
work out crimes with the meagerest clues he made a repu-
tation for himself, that won the respect of his associates in
the Bureau as well as his superior officers.
He served on various details, but on the General Works
Detail with Inspector Sidney Duboce he solved many
crimes and became an authority on the ways of the sub-
versive elements of this section of the state. It was through
his ceaseless work in running down many leads, at times
almost insignificant that he broke the would-be "green
glove" rape cases and built up such a strong case against
Joe Finkel that the latter is now doing a long stretch in
San Quentin for molesting many women in this city.
Of late months he has been on the Federal Detail, and
has been highly commended by the heads of the various
Federal agencies he has been assisting, and these with his
legion of friends in the San Francisco Police Department,
regret his leaving and all join in hoping he has a speedy
recovery from his injured back.
Taking his place on the Federal Detail is Inspector Cor-
nelius Desmond, who for some 20 years has been an hon-
ored and efficient member of the Automobile Detail, head-
ed by Inspector William Gilmore.
Inspector Desmond, a native of Cork, Ireland, was ap-
pointed a member of the Police Department on January 1 ,
1921, and served six years on street patrols in Company H
and A.
On March 27 he was brought into the Bureau of In-
spectors, and was at once assigned to the Automobile De-
tail then in charge of Captain Bernard McDonald. He
developed a keen ability to spot stolen cars and he brought
in many a car stealer. So well w-as his work done that he
was promoted to assistant inspector on April 30, 1937 and
full inspector on May 1, 1938.
Inspector Gilmore in command of the Auto Detail
for the past eight years, took Inspector Desmond in hand
when he first came to that unit of the Department. Gil-
more was clerk then to Captain McDonald.
The Auto Detail has lost three good and experienced
men in recent months. First to go under the new pension
system was Inspector Rasmus Rasmussen, followed by In-
spector Paul Badaracco and now Con Desmond now takes
up the new job.

Woodland^s Chief of Police
Clarence W. Bailey, a veteran of many years of law
enforcement duties, has been Chief of Police of Wood'
land, Calif., for the last three years.
Bailey has seen his department grow steadily in ac-
cordance with expansion of the city. Farsightedness on
the part of Bailey and the City Council has kept the force
a progressive department that has been able to cope with
the problems usually confronting a rapidly growing city.
The Chief is fortunate in having three experienced
Two burglary outbreaks were nipped recently before
the rings could get started and convictions were obtained
in Yolo county courts. The arrests were accomplished
by "around-the-clock" work on the part of Officers in the
Department.
The police's greatest problem at the moment is an over-
crowded jail. The jail was built with sleeping accommo-
dations for only 15 prisoners, but during harvest season
in Woodland, a rich agricultural center, arrests soar to

Sergeants. All three have had considerable law enforce-

work shifts.
The Sergeants are Jack Kinkade, Leonard Murphy and
Fred Martin. All are long-time residents of W(X)dland
and are well acquainted with problems confronting the
city.
Other officers on the Department are August Noren-
berg, Archie Yelle, the ex-famous baseball catcher; Her-
man Snavely, Leland Peart Ray Andreozzi, Wayne
Walter and Arden Keith.
Three officers have been added to the Police Staff
since Bailey was elected to the post.
The Chief has made numerous improvements and, with
the outstanding cooperation of his sergeants and officers,
has kept crime well in check in Woodland.
Equipment includes two radio equipped squad cars and
a radio-equipped motorcycle used by Traffic Officer Keith,
who recently was given his honorable discharge from the
U. S. navy.
The Police Department recently completed a highly suc-
cessful drive on illegal parking in the city's business dis-
trict and had cleared up a muddled traffic situation caused
by overtime and double Parkers
as many as iO a day. Most of those apprehended art-
drunks.
The city council has applied to the government for
permission to build an annex to the jail. It is expected
the situation will be alleviated before next year's harvest.

One of the most colorful of California's little cities in
the Mother Lode is that of Grass Valley, Nevada County.
It played a major role in the drama of early California
history, and still preserves the atmosphere of those gold
rush days, but underneath it all it is as modern as any
community in the state.
As evidence of this let us look at the transition of its
policing from its early history to the present, as told to
your roving reporter hy one of Grass Valley's "old
timers".
As Police Departments go, the Grass Valley unit is
young, and the formation of the present organisation
Vail
ey
present position in 1938. Today, with the assistance of
a cixjperative city council, the Chief has built a bang-up
little force of seven adequately trained men. They arc
equipped with two-way radio patrol cars and each officer
licensed by the F.F.C. Calls are handled through Cali-
fornia Highway Patrol station K.A.P.I. 24 hours a day.
The department has its own photography department.
Every prisoner is mugged and printed, copies being sent
to both the State Bureau and the F.B.I.
When some of you "big city" boys get fed up with
monoxide air and plan some fishing or hunting, come' up
to these pine hills, where in a pn^r cr;i lived such colorful

and Chief lenkin.
practically marked the emergence from township status
to that of a full-fledged city.
In 19.3') the City Council authorised the construction
of a modern city hall and included facilities for the newly-
created Police Department complete with a city jail.
Prior to that time, police protection was strictly of the
horse and buggy era. It consisted of a two-man staff, each
on a 12-hour shift. To use the old Army phrase, the job
was "in addition to his other duties". He was Pound
Master, Superintendent of Public Works, and Tax Col-
lector as well, and for all this received the munificent
sum of $1 10.00 per month.
TTie change, of course, was not made over night. Chief
Ben Jcnkin was traffic officer and was appointed to his
celebrities as Bret Harte, Lola Montez and Lotta Crabtrce.
Drop in on Ben Jenkin for the "dope". He knows the :
spots where you can fill that basket with "catin' trout"
and where the big bucks bed down. You'll find him a
swell guy "to hoot".

PARKING ON SAN FRANCISCO HILLS
Police Chief Charles W. DuUea of San Francisco makes
an appeal which seems very fair and reasonable. He asks
that all motorists — visitors and San Franciscans alike — who
park on the city's hills make certain before they leave their
cars that they can't get away and start down grade.
A driverless car, running down grade, can be a terrible
instrument of destruction. It can kill and maim innocent
people and destroy valuable property. Such accidents hap-
pen frequently in San Francicso— an average of 60 a
month, to be specific. And according to Chief Dullea, they
occur even more frequently on slight grades than they do
on the steep hills of San Francisco, where the danger is
more readily apparent.
It's easy to prevent such accidents. Just make sure that
the wheels are cramped tightly against the curb. Then pull
on the emergency brake as far as it will go. And if you
want to make doubly certain, leave the car in gear. Do
these things even thoough the grade doesn't look at all
dangerous to you.
If you don't do these things, trouble is almost certain to
follow. At best you may get a "tag" and have to pay a five
dollar fine. At worst your car may get away, smash into
another auto or building and perhaps kill someone.

POLICE FRATERNITY
(Continued jrom Page 6)
August VoUmcr, professor of police administration.
University of California — the lad who "came up the hard
way" from a village hoy to town marshal, to Chief of
Police to a university professor without a college degree;
Governor Warren, who began his public career as an
Assistant District Attorney of Alameda county hut who
was always, first and foremost, for law enforcement and
just prosecution of lawbreakers.
Today there are two chapters of the fraternity. Today
the members, drawn from every line of law enforcement,
keep up their interest by attending monthly meetings, by
enlarging their knowledge of every angle of the peace
enforcement program whenever and wherever meetings of
the brotherhood are held.
Early Officers Laid Foundation for Activities
To the early officers of the fraternity goes credit for
putting Lambda Alpha Epsilon on a sound foundation.
Among them: Otto J. Jahnsen, Lieutenant of Inspec-
tors in the Alameda county Sheriff's office, later in charge
of the Coast Guard during the war period; Inspector E.
A. Steinmeyer of the California Highway Patrol; J. M.
Ritchie, Deputy Sheriff of Alameda county; Claude
Morelick of the Bakcrsfield police department; F. E. Mac-
abee of the Hayward police force; Sherwood Morrill of
the State Division of Criminal Investigation, formerly
with the then Chief Vollmer, Berkeley Police Depart-
ment; R. L. Drexel of the San Jose police school; Alton
V. Fuller, at the time co-ordinator of the Oakland police
department's training school.
Jahnsen became the first president; Frank Gompert,
laboratory expert of the Los Angeles police department,
second vice president; Lieutenant of the Oakland Identi-
fication Bureau, Walter E. Hawkinson, then an Inspector,
third vice-president; Sergeant Guy Skelton, Oakland Po-
lice Department, treasurer.
During the years that have followed the beginnings of
Lambda Alpha Epsilon there have followed numerous
gatherings at which noted authorities have discussed police
administration; police organization; finepoints on detec-
tion and arrest of law breakers; real worth of sincere
peace officers who look upon their jobs as "careers", and
not as "stop-gaps" to earning a Hvelihood; fine points of
laboratory analysis; race relations; training necessary for
future police chiefs; worth of summer institutes to peace

juvenile delinquency problem and their effect on com-
munity life; higher standards of educational attainment
among peace officers to promote the selection of properly
trained personnel; civil service as it affects police admin-
istration; tomorrow's need for trained peace officers and
many other problems, confronting the up-to-minute peace
officer.
Meetings Offer Inspiration
These frequent meetings and "get togethers" have had
an inspiring effect throughout the California Peace offi-
cers' group.
Deputy sheriffs, police officers, court attaches, members
of the district attorney's staff, town constables and town
marshals, have found inspiration in the knowledge that
theirs is a duty and an obligation to the average citizen
that goes far beyond personal likes and dislikes.
As Lieutenant Hawkinson of the Oakland identification
bureau, puts it:
■'Alpha Lambda Epsilon is really an advanced school
in police work. We have been amazed at the interest
aroused among our members. These men are serious. They
are eager for more knowledge in their special lines of en-
deavor. They are absorbing sound fundamentals for a
peace officer's career and are appreciative of the privilege
this fraternity gives them to acquire more knowledge in
police work."
Fraternity Magazine Issued Once A Month
Since its founding, the fraternity has published a
magazine. The Journal of Lambda Alpha Epsilon. For
the past five years this publication has been issued
monthly. It is sent free to all members, law enforcement
executives, and police schools interested in law-enforce-
ment training.
T. P. Hunter, in charge of the Navy Police in the San
Francisco headquarters, furnishes these further interesting
details about the only Greek letter police fraternity in
history :
During 1945 both chapters of the fraternity continued
their programs at meetings, featuring speakers prominent
in the fields of law enforcement and penology, inter-
spersed by social gatherings.
At the request of the Law Enforcemnt Coordinator of
the California State Department of Justice, a survey was
conducted in order to ascertain how many experienced
law enforcement officers were available for use in police
training programs. The response was most gratifying.

SANTA CLARA'S NEW CHIEF
( Continued from Page 1 6)
he says is a tribute to the high character of the students
who enter the old college and the training they get from
the instructors.
Santa Clara is notable as a crime-free city, and but little
law breaking occurs there. As an illustration we took a
look at the records and during June, which was the heavi-
est month so far this year for the police officers, there were
but 26 arrests, over half of them for intoxication, and only
one felony.
With route 101 passing through Santa Clara there is a
terrific lot of traffic passing north and south, but the small
number of men handling traffic manage to keep accidents
to a very low figure.
Santa Clara is one of three cities that elects its Chief of
Police, the others being San Rafael and El Cerrito.
Chief O'Neill has been married for over 24 years, his
wife was the former Miss Margaret Santos. The couple
have two children, a son, Wallace John, 23, and a daughter,
Bernardine M., 20 years of age.
We have known the new chief for a number of years
and we know the people of Santa Clara are going to have
a continuance of the fine law enforcement that Chief Fal-
lon so ably gave it during his .^'> years of service.

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
POLICE COMMUNICATION OFFICERS
ASSOCIATION
J. D. HOSSACK, President
R. E. Moore, Secretary-Treasurer
The Northern California PoHce Communication Offi-
cers' Association held their regular monthly meeting in
San Francisco on June 13, 1946 at the South End Rowing
Cluh with Henry Bogardus as host. The following applica-
tions for frequency clearance were read by the frequency
committee and approved as noted, Solano County Sheriff's
Office requested clearance for a frequency change from
35,220 kc. to 35,780 kc. for approximately 25 mobile units
am. with main station service from the new California
Highway Patrol station to be erected at Vallejo on 1690 kc.
by remote control from the Sheriff's Office. Request
granted. The City of Antioch requests clearance for a
100-watt main station transmitter on 37,900 kc. with six
mobile units to be operated on 37,900 kc, both amplitude
modulated. Request granted. The City of Lodi requested
frequency clearance for one 50-watt FM main station and
four FM mobile units on a frequency of 39,500 kc, with
continued use of the present main station transmitter on
2414 kc. AM for use in serving the California Highway
Patrol in the area as well as district constables. Request
approved. The City of Davis requested clearance for a
twenty-watt AM main station on 1722 kc. and two mobile
units AM on 35,220 kc. Clearance was granted for the
use of 1722 kc. but due to the present overcrowded condi-
tion of 35,220 kc, the use of this frequency was disap-
proved. After consultation with Mr. Manov representing
the City of Davis, the use of 3 5 , 1 00 kc. was recommended
and approved for use by the association.
The frequency committee also approved the use of 75.98
mc for the Salinas Sheriff's Office for their repeater and
also recommended the use of 73.62 mc. to Sutter- Yuba for
their repeater use, sharing this frequency with San Mateo
County. The increased use of repeaters in the State of
California has resulted in the rapid absorption of the pres-
ent frequencies assigned for this purpose and on a motion
by Jim Lewis and seconded by George Burton, the
NCPCOA went on record as requiring more repeater
frequencies in the 70 mc. region and that a letter was to be
sent to the FCC in Washington making our wishes known.
The frequency committee was instructed to draft the latter
for the association.
Brower McMurphy presented the last word on the status
of ANTR equipment that had been available on the sur-
plus market but suddenly withdrawn again. It had been
planned to use this equipment in point to point service and
with equipment available at the surplus prices offered
would make the service available at a cost of $1 50.00. The
fact that thjs equipment now is available only as new
equipment and would cost about $800,00 per station has
called for revisions of plans. Herb Watson discussed the
matter of point to point circuits with Mr. Jett of the FCC
during his recent visit to Washington and advised the as-
sociation that the FCC desires that the NCPCOA submit
their plans and requirements for such a point to point
service and submit to the FCC where it will be given con-
sideration. Indiana is now using a point to point circuit
on 153 mc.
In line with this suggestion, Brower McMurphy urged
that the interested law enforcement activities submit a let-
ter to the association stating that they are interested in and
will support an application for construction permit when
the system is started in accordance with the recommenda-
tions of the frequency committee.
George Burton reported on the arrangements for the
annual party and said that approximately 75 persons could
be handled nicely. By vote of the members, the date was
set for July 20th. Members will advise Burton by postcard
of the number of reservations required.
Merrill LeBoeuf spoke of the problem in his area of
using the 900 series code since all surrounding stations are
operated by the California Highway Patrol and are using
the standard 10 series. To avoid conflict and use of the
double code, the Sutter- Yuba area advises that the 10
series code will be used in that area.
Following a recess for luncheon, Bill Whiting from
Kern County, President of the CPRA spoke a few words.
Roy Johanson from Kaar spoke on their production prob-
lems and told us that his factory is currently converting 30-
40 mc. equipment for operation in the 72 mc. band when
required. Fred Deetken of General Electric said that de-
liveries are now being made on 30-40 mc. equipment and
that 150 mc equipment will be available in about 30 days.
Jack Maxwell told us of the fine results of the 150 mc test
conducted by Motorola in the San Francisco area with the
only two bad spots being the Stockton Street tunnel and
behind a steep cliff at the Cliff House. All other locations
gave 100% results including the upper and lower levels of
the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. Jack also advises
that Motorola has a conversion kit for their repeaters to
change over from 116 mc. to 72 mc. operation. Mott

Brunton and Edw. Maeshner are planning a survey of the
City of Berkeley on 150 mc. Jim Lewis commented on
the new frequency tolerance for repeaters of .005 and Don
Hossack told us about the troubles encountered by the
Highway Patrol caused by tire static and some of the reme-
dies which were effective under differing circumstances. A
request of the California Highway Patrol for clearance for
a 500-watt transmitter to be installed in the City of Vallejo
operating on a frequency of 1690 kc. was made by E. Stew-
art Naschke. This request was approved and clearance
granted. Being no further business, the meeting adjourned
with Walt Harrington selected as our next host with the
meeting to be held in San Mateo County.

POLICE AND PEACE OFFICERS' JOURNAL
July, 1946
KNOW YOUR MONEY
(At present the city is flcxxled with counterfeit bills, ac-
cording to local press notices. We thought this reprint of
an article bearing the above title appearing in our journal
some time ago would be opportune.)
The U. S. Secret Service
A division of the Treasury Department, this service is
one of the oldest and best known law-enforcement agencies
Chief William Mi-.rrill
of the Federal Government. It was established during the
Civil War, and celebrated its S2nd Anniversary July 2,
1946. Its chief duties as provided by law are: (1) Pro-
tection of the President of the United States, his family,
and the person of the president-elect: (2) the suppression
of counterfeiting and alteration of obligations of the United
States and foreign governments; (5) the suppression of
the counterfeiting, forgery, alteration and fraudulent ne-
gotation of U. S. Treasury checks; and enforcement of
numerous other laws as provided by Congress.
Types of Currency.
The only three types of currency printed by the United
States Government for circulation are :
1. Federal Reserve Notes, which bear green serial num-
bers and seal.

2. United States Notes, which bear red numbers and
.V Silver Certificates, which bear blue numbers and seal.
Portraits.
Denominations of bills
may be identified by portraits as
follows:
Washington
on all $1.00 bills
Jefferson
on all 2.00 bills
Lincoln
on all 5.00 bills
Hamilton
on all 10.00 bills
Jackson
on all 20.00 bills
Grant
on all 50.00 bills
Franklin
on all 100.00 bills
How to Detect Counterfeit Bills.
1. Know your money.
2. Compare the suspected bill with a genuine of the
same type and denomination. Observe carefully the fol-
lowing features:
(a) Portrait: Genuine is lifelike, stands out from oval
background which is a fine screen of regular lines; notice
particularly the eyes. The counterfeit is dull, smudgy or
unnaturally white; scratchy; background is dark with ir-
regular and broken lines.
(b) Seal: On genuine, sawtooth points around rim are
identical and sharp. On counterfeit sawtooth points are
usually different, uneven, broken off.
(c) Serial Numbers: Genuine, distinctive style, firmly
and evenly printed; same color as seal. Counterfeit, style
different, poorly printed, badly spaced, uneven in appear-
ance.
(d) Paper: Genuine bills are printed on distinctive
paper containing very small red and blue silk threads.
Rubbing a bill will not prove whether it is genuine or
counterfeit; ink will rub off of either.
4. Remember — not all strangers are counterfeiters. But
all counterfeiters are likely to be strangers.
How to Detect Counterfeit Coins.
1. Know your money.
2. Ring all coins on a hard surface. Genuine coins sound
clear and bell-like. Counterfeits sound dull.
3. Feel all coins; most counterfeit coins feel greasy.
4. Compare the reeding (the corrugated outer edge) of
a suspected coin with one known to be genuine. The
ridges on genuine coins are distinct and evenly spaced. On
counterfeit coins they are poorly spaced and irregular.
5. Cut the edge of suspected coins. Most counterfeits
are made of soft metal which can be easily cut with a knife.
6. Test suspected silver coins with acid. Scrape the sur-
face and apply drop of acid. If bad, the coin will turn
black unless it has a high silver content. Silver test acid ^
solution may be purchased at any drug store.
United States Government Checks.
Know your indorsers.
Of the millions of Treasury checks issued yearly by the
Government, many are stolen from letter boxes or in other

ways, nnd must then be forged before the proceeds can be
gained. It is imperative that anyone cashing a Government
check know the payee, compare his signature with the
indorsement or require good identiiication.
Confiscation of Counterfeits
Section 2>1 of the U. S. Code of Laws provides that
whoever has knowledge of the commission of a crime
(felony) and does not make it known to the authorities
shall be fined not more than $500 or imprisoned not more
than 3 years or both. Section 286 states that all counter-
feits of obligations of the United States or foreign govern-
ments must be surrendered to authorized agents of the
Treasury Department. Anyone who has the custody or
control of such counterfeits and refuses to surrender them
upon request of an authorized Treasury Agent shall be
fined not more than one hundred dollars or imprisoned
not more than one year, or both. The maximum penalty
for possessing or passing a counterfeit bill with intent to
defraud is H years in the penitentiary and a fine of $5,000.
Place This Notice on or Near Your Cash Register, When
a Stranger Gives You a Counterfeit Bill:
1. Do not return it.
2. Telephone police at once.
3. Delay the passer under a pretext.
4. Avoid argument; if necessary, tell them the police
will handle the matter.
i. Write down a description if the passer leaves.
6. Take the tag numbers of any cars involved.

where she sat nearby. Under his serutiny, the woman
lowered her eyes, and the knuckles of her clenched hands
were white. For a little space he stood thus without
speaking, then turned to the defendant.
■'That will be all, my boy," he said quietly, "I will
question you no more."
When the youth had left the stand, the attorney's de-
meanor changed. To those who know him, it was plain
that he was done with fencing, and was now moving in
for the kill.
"Citizens," he said, "in this case there has been offered
certain evidence tending to prove this blind boy's guilt.
I now propose to consider this evidence more carefully.
With malice and intent, a kind and honest man has been
smitten dead within his home. My worthy opponent, the
prosecutor, asserts that after this dire deed, the heartless
culprit touched the walls to find his way, and thus left
those fingerprints that blazon forth their infamy. I freely
grant these dark contentions plausible. It is true that one
bereft of sight, having committed such a cruel and wanton
act, might touch the walls in making his escape; but here
the evidence itself disproves the charges of the prosecu-
tion. It is a fact well known that blood exposed to air dries
rapidly; and thus the prints, by nature, would grow
fainter as they left there place of origin; but such is not
the nature of these fingerprints, which show the same deep
hue throughout their lengthy course. And even though a

blind man might have stained his fingers more profusely,
the Wood would dry upon his hands as soon as the hands
of one who still could see!"
Pausing a moment to allow the force of this disclosure
to have its effect, he continued: "Observe now this sight-
less youth — mark how he weeps! No thought had he to
slay the father whom he loved! Citizens, this young man's
innocence I once again proclaim, and for the proof, I sum-
marize the evidence! 'Tis true the blind boy's knife was
left within the wound; but any murderer who planned his
crime would use some weapon other than his own, and
never leave it thus to guide his seekers. Also, consider
this — a single blow was struck, and that most craftily,
which caused the victim's death. No blind man's act
was this; directing eyes were there to guide that lethal
stroke, which found a vital spot with quick precision.
Where two were sleeping side by side, a man without his
sight could not have singled out and smote his prey with-
out the other's waking, else had he slain them both, that
none might live to testify against him!"
Again the lawyer hesitated momentarily, then spoke
once more : " 'Tis plain indeed the murderer had eyes to
weigh each salient fact and circumstance which stood to
expedite the evil enterprise. And this we know — the killer
struck but once, and left the dagger buried as it was.
From such a wound, obstructed by the blade, scant blood
would flow. And this, too, I point out — in grasping the
weapon for the fatal thrust, the shaft was firmly held
within the hand, and thus no blood could touch the palm!
And furthermore, when treading through the passagevva>-,
though even in pressing haste, small need had this lad to
touch familiar walls, whose every friendly turn he knows
from early childhood — and yet those bloody fingerprints,
from both /lands, left and right, were made in over-
plentiful profusion! If any blind man's touch had spread
those clues, the traces would appear in hand-dragged
trails, and not as palm-prints neatly measured side by side!
And mark you this— as I have said — the hand that clasped
that dagger's hilt was left unstained! By her own testi-
mony the woman proves the weapon's hilt was clean and
free of blemish!
The plaintiff had risen to her feet as if to protest, but
instead stood motionless, staring at the attorney in fear-
ful fascination. Seeming to ignore her, he went on
speaking.

"But none the less," he continued, "'the hand which
struck that coward's blow was also that which forged
those baneful fingerprints, seeking to trap this blind and
helpless youth! But lust for gold and malice here over-
balanced caution, for those grim marks are far too many
and too well-defined, in all their scarlet falsity, to have
been left there through mere accident. The hands were
small, I grant — the fingers of a youth — or of a woman!
And so intentionally bedrenched were they that any
traces of their skin design was indiscernible. And yet
those crimson tongues cry out a stern incrimination! They
impute one — and only one — who could have done this
harsh, unnatural deed!. And now — before the searching
light of justice, observe her! — trembling and afraid — con-
demned by her own guilty fingerprints! Citizens, behold.'
There STAKDS THE MURDERESS'."
With a piercing cry, the woman covered her face with
her hands, sobbing and hysterical.
"Yes! Yes!" she screamed, "I killed him — take me away!
Oh, take me away! '
And thus the trial was ended.
Aside from the somewhat curious and stilted style of
speech, there at first appears to be little of the unusual
in the foregoing episode, which could have occurred in
any modern court room, or have been taken from the
pages of any current crime-story publication. However,
such is not the fact, since this bit of life-drama, was en-
acted in the ancient city of Rome nearly two thousand
years ago!
Many are of the opinion that the use of fingerprints.
especially in criminal cases, has existed for a comparatively
short time only; but in reality the study of skin patterns
is one of the oldest sciences, having been practiced for
thousands of years, as well attested by this early court
trial.
The eloquent speaker, who exonerated the unforti'na'e
blind boy, was Marcus Fabius Quintilianus, born in the
year 3^ A.D. He was an outstanding figure in history.
and was distinguished not only for his legal ability, but
also as a rhetorician, teacher, and author, whose works are
cited even today as standards of excellence. Among his
collected writings appears the account of this case (Quint.
Decl. I, II), in much the same form as we have read it
here, which he recorded long ago under the Latin title
"Paries Palmatus". "The Hand-Prints on the Wall."

Oakland Voters and Taxpayers, Recognizing
Good Work of Police and Firemen, Vote
Them Approximately 15 Percent Wage Raise
Embodied in Municipal Charter
By B. S. (Sandy) Sanders
Veteran police reporter, editor, writer, recently retired
from staff of Oa\land Post-Enquirer
"If you put your problem up to the voters fairly and
squarely, you eannot fail to win their support," com-
mented Lieutenant of PoHce James P. McDonnell, general
chairman of the combined Oakland police and firemen's
campaign committee which handled the charter amend'
mcnt voted by the electorate and taxpayers, giving the
uniform rank approximately a 15 percent salary increase.
By their action, the citizens of Oakland, placed Oakland
out in the forefront as paying their peace officers and fire-
men the highest wages in the nation.
By their vote, the taxpayers and citizens, made this
increase in pay permanent by embodying it in the muni-
cipal charter
The pay raise went to ranks in both services. Chiefs,
Assistant Chiefs, Captains, Lieutenants, Sergeants, all get
the benefit of the new pay schedule. It also embraced all
retired and pensioned members of both departments.
The issue was decided on Tuesday June 4, when Cali-
fornia voters in general went to the polls to decide on their
primary candidates.
In getting the heavy majority of support from the voters
and property owners and taxpayers in general, the Oak-
land police and firemen, were rewarded because they did
not attempt to evade the fact that the cost would necessar-
ily increase the tax rate a few cents.
The campaign, which was financed entirely by volun-

tary assessments from each individual member of both
departments and from those on pension, and even by wid-
ows of deceased members of the departments, was clean
and clearcut.
The result has met with widespread approval. And only
a few voices were raised against the issue.
The hazards involved in the daily \/OTk of both police
and firemen were realized.
It was pointed out that families of police and firemen
never know whether their breadwinner will come back
alive when sent out on an assignment.
And that is so very true.
Just a few weeks ago Police Inspector John Johnson was
sent out as one of several Inspectors and Police Officers
to investigate a series of burglaries in North Oakland.
Inspector Johnson was found in a dying condition at the
wheel of his police car, his star in his hand which he had
apparently been showing a suspect whom he was question-
ing. He had been shot several times and died a few days
later in an Oakland hospital.
During the campaign, too, several firemen were injured
in line of duty.
It was these sort of facts presented to the voters that
won the day.
And as Lieut. McDonnell so aptly put it: "you put
your problem to the voters fairly and squarely you cannot
fail to win their support."
Oakland again has set the pace for the nation in making
more secure the men in its uniform ranks.

SAN LEANDRO'S POLICE
( Continued from Page 7)
City Manager Lawrence E. Olsen got a ticket for illegal
parking, and he marched right into the traffic division and
bounced the fine set forth for the offense. Police Judge
A. W. Burr deals out justice fairly but severely when
guilt is established and the knowledge of sure punishment
gets around and the careless drivers take a little pressure
off the pedal when nearing San Leandro's city limits.
Chief Lamoureux married Genevieve Douglas on Au-
gust 11, 1925 and thus he has two events to celebrate on
that day for it was August 11, 1930 that he donned the
uniform of the police officer in San Leandro. He and his
wife are mighty popular in their adopted city, for the
Chief was born in Oakland, and it is not stretching the
imagination very much to predict he can stay as high man
in the Police Department as long as he cares to hold the
job.
Mrs. Muriel Tsvetkoff, general manager of the San
Francisco Better Business Bureau, attended in Michigan,
the annual conference of the National Association of
Better Business Bureaus, of which she is chairman of the
Women's Committee, held in June.
Mrs. Tsvetkoff recently observed the twentieth anni-
versary of her start in Bureau work, with sixteen years
spent as manager of the local office.

THE BLIND WITNESS
( Continued from Page 9)
stranger said to Nelson: "COME ON! LETS HAVE
YOUR DOUGH". Nelson was dumbfounded and quickly
appealed to Hughes, thinking it was just a joke of some
sort. But Hughes joined in with his accomplice and told
him to hand it over. Nelson then said: "Listen here. Joe,
this is highway robbery; I know you and you can't get
away with this." Just then Hughes' accomplice said: "Let
me take care of the kid and he will never bother anyone."
And with that he struck Nelson a terrific blow in the face
with some object and then before Nelson passed out he
felt the brute pressing his thumbs into his eyes and
forcing his eyes out of their sockets. The pain was terrific,
he said, and then he lapsed into unconsciousness.
Well, here it was the latter part of September, 1944.
Where was Hughes now? The inspectors started check'
ing with the Contra Costa Sheriff's office and learned that
Hughes had served time in jail in that county for vagrancy.
They got his picture and fingerprint classification and
started their investigation again on the case. Here was
at least something to work on. They now at least knew
who they were looking for. They also learned that Hughes
had a brother who was president of a bank in a small
town in Texas. They had the Sheriff there contact the
brother and learned from him that Hughes was somewhere
in the Northwest Pacific area and was going to work in
some defense plant there. Well, the Northwest comprises
a large area and many defense plants were in operation
throughout the whole Northwest.
Inspector Reznik then began checking all bars in the
first block on First Street, and he remembered Nelson
stating that the tavern he was in had an extremely long

the robbery. However, it was soon learned that the three
bartenders on duty on the night in question were no
longer employed there. However, they did obtain the
names of the three men formerly employed in the tavern.
The first two were contacted but nothing could be learned
from them. Hughes' picture didn't mean a thing to them,
they said; they have so many customers coming in and
out of this place that they could not place anyone. How-
ever, they finally contacted the third bartender, Vic Nel-
son, no relation to the victim. Hughes' picture was shown
to him along with several others. "Vic Nelson almost im-
mediately picked out Hughes' picture from the others
as a person who had frequented Rush's Inn while he was
working there.
Incidentally Hughes was an easy person to identify as
he bore a very large and prominent scar on his left cheek,
just like the victim said he had. In addition, Hughes had
the appearance of a rough and tough character, was heavy
built and stood over six feet in height.
The bartender said he remembered Hughes particularly
because he was a pest in the place and would go from
customer to customer mooching drinks, and that on sev-
eral occasions he had run him out of the place.
Further inquiries developed that Hughes had lived at
139 Drumm Street in San Francisco at about that time
and moved out shortly after the robbery occurred and left
no forwarding address, and that he had lived there a short
while with a room mate known as "McGee."
With his fingerprint classifications we knew that if
Hughes was employed by any of the big defense plants in
the Northwest we would soon strike his trail again. All
war defense plants, as a protection against saboteurs, spies
and alien enemies, made it a practice of fingerprinting
everyone they employed, and we knew we would get
a line on him if he was still there. Communications were
immediately sent to all Sheriffs, Police and State Police
in both Oregon and Washington, and a few days later
word was received that Joe Casey Hughes was busily en-
gaged in a secret defense plant at Hanford, Washington.
This plant, the world later learned, was where they made
the destructive Atomic Bombs used at Nagasaki and Hiro-
shima. But let's stay with the story. The Washington
State Patrol soon advised us that they had Mr. Hughes
in custody. Inspector Reznick flew to Hanford, Wash-
ington, and extradited Hughes at once.
Upon his return here, Hughes proved to be a close
mouthed individual. He would not admit anything, only
that he did work at one time picking walnuts with the
victim near Concord, Calif., and that he had never met
Nelson again. He denied he was ever in a bar on First
Street in San Francisco, and that on the night in question
he was busily employed in a defense plant building ships.
Meantime, the victim's mind was clearing up more and
more and his health greatly improving, although his eye-
sight was gone. He further stated that while working on
the farm in Contra Costa County, being a barber, he had
shaved Hughes on numerous occasions and he gave a
minute description of the large "T" scar on Hughes' face,
and also that he had a bad scar on his left elbow from a

former injury, and that below that he had tatttx> marks
on his arm. This we knew would be valuable in the pros-
ecution of the case owing to the loss of the victim's sight.
Nelson showed a marvelous spirit despite his serious
injury and even upon being questioned at length by the
District Attorney he stood steadfast on his original story
that Hughes was one of the men that had robbed him.
He had even said that the bar in question was at least 70
feet long and upon measuring it proved to be 72 feet long.
The three physicians who attended Nelson said his lapse
of memory was very natural due to the very serious
nature of his injury, and that in some cases patients lost
their memory for periods of six to nine months and then
would remember all details in the intervening period
during which their mind was a blank. A great amount
of opiates and sedatives were also used on Nelson to
relieve his pain and suffering, and this also contributed
a great deal to his loss of memory.
With the trial about to commence, the Deputy District
Attorney knew the presentation of the case would be a
most difficult one as the victim had been blinded and a
visual identiiication of the defendant was impossible.
Hughes was well defended by an attorney hired through
his brother in Texas. He was charged with two of the
most serious crimes in our Penal Code — MAYHEM and
ROBBERY— and he wanted a jury trial,
Hughes took the stand in his defense. He denied ever
having been in any taverns on First Street and that he
had never seen the victim since the time he last worked
with him in the walnut groves almost a year previously.
He also claimed he was working in a shipyard on the
night of the robbery. His story was very convincing. It
impressed the jury. However, Deputy District Attorney
Jack Eyman had a few cards up his sleeve; he wasn't to
be caught napping. He placed the victim on the stand.
The victim made a splendid witness; he talked in a clear
and sincere manner. He was even able to distinguish the
voice of the defendant among other persons speaking in
the court room. And then, his vivid description of the
scar on the defendant's left cheek, even to the minutest
detail; also the scar on his left elbow; the tattoo marks
below. Young Nelson proved to be one of the most dra-
matic witnesses that ever appeared in a San Francisco
Court Room. This young blind boy speaking so dra-
matically brought the members of the jury to the verge

of tears. The spectators in the court room were spell-
hound. Of course, the defense attorney tried to discredit
this testimony due to the fact that the victim had known
Hughes before and had worked with him on the same
ranch and that it didn't mean a thing as far as evidence
was concerned.
Then the prosecutor. Jack Eyman, brought out his aces
in the hole for rebuttal. The bartender, Vic Nelson, was
put on the stand. He told deiinitely of seeing Hughes in
the tavern on First Street on numerous occasions, and also
that he was forced to eject him from the premises for
mt)lesting other patrons. Then Eyman produced the Su-
perintendent where Hughes claimed he was working on
the night of the robbery, and he said the personnel records
failed to show where Hughes had been employed at that
plant at any time.
After a short argument by the defense and prosecution
attorneys the case went to the Jury, The Jury deliberated
for only about a half hour and returned with a guilty
verdict of Robbery and Mayhem. Superior Judge Frank
Deasy then sentenced Joe Casey Hughes to San Qucn-
tin Prison on Dec. 22, 1944. Even after his conviction,
Hughes would not divulge the name of his accomplice in
this crime and as a result this suspect is still listed on the
"Wanted Lists" of this department as "McGee".
Harold Nelson was then led from the court room and
taken back to the "Home for the Blind" where he was
learning a trade that would enable him to earn a livelihood
despite his serious affliction. He was cheerful and said
he would make good, and that, we thought was the last
we would hear from him
Several months later while Inspector Reznik was home
one evening reading his evening paper and casually
glancing over the personal column in the San Francisco
News the heading: "BLIND COUPLE'S LOVE AT
FIRST MEETING LEADS TO MARRIAGE CERE-
MONY HERE" attracted his interest. He had read a
few lines when the name Harold Nelson occurred and
then he began to read it through, as every word was of
interest to him. Here is what it said :
"The blind bow-boy had his innings last night.
"Miss Georgia Barron, who has been blind for eight
years, and Harold Nelson, who has been blind for one
year, were married at St. Agnes Church. They met last
fall at a dance at the San Francisco Center for the Blind
and promptly fell in love.
"Mr. Nelson is working for Blindcraft, but hopes soon
to have a stand on Fourth Street where he can sell candy,
cigarettes and newspapers. Until the Nelsons can find a
home of their own, they arc staying with Mr. Nelson's
parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Nelson at 260.^ Lake Street.
"Both are totally blind, but they are happy and active.
Mr. Nelson has just acquired a 'Seeing Eye Dog' which
provides the second sight for both Nelsons on their walks
and errands about the city. Mrs. Nelson has no assurance,

but a slight hope, that the sight which failed as a result
of cataracts may be restored by surgery.
• "The tragedy which suddenly robbed Mr. Nelson of
his sight slightly over a year ago was so violent that his
eyes are believed damaged beyond repair.
"After a career as hair styler in many parts of the
country, he was doing war work in a Richmond shipyard.
One night as he was returning to his home in San Fran-
cisco he was set upon by two men who took his watch,
his money, and then goughed out his eyes with their
thumbs, apparently to forestall his identifying them. It
is seldom that a court admits identification by voice alone.
"One of the robbers, however, was recognized by Mr.
Nelson as a fellow worker in Contra Costa County, and
the court permitted an identification by voice. The rob-
ber-assailant was sentenced to San Quentin.
"Mr. Nelson has made a wonderful adjustment to his
sudden total sightlessness, according to his bride, who like
any other bride, sight or no sight, wore for her wedding
'something old, something new, something borrowed', in-
cluding a hundred-year-old lace veil with pearl crown,
borrowed from Mrs. Perry Joy of Berkeley."
When Inspector Resnik visited the home of the Nelsons
the other day, he found a very happy couple, indeed.

VALLEJO'S POLICE DEPARTMENT
(Continued from Page lij
many other features necessary for a well organized Police
Department.
A commodious section of the basement has been laid
out for a squad room, fitted with steel cabinets for clothes
and equipment, and with plenty of chairs, benches and
tables.
The county has abandoned the jail cells it maintained in
the City Hall and these have been turned over to the Police.
The entire interior of the headquarters has been painted
and it looks like a new installation.
During the busy war years 5^00 parking meters have
been installed on the business streets of the city and this
besides serving the motorists who have to come downtown
for shopping purposes brings nearly $50,000 a year in
revenue.
Mayor George C. Demmon and Commissioners Andrew
Sheveland and Daniel Foley have gone the limit to see that
the Police Department has a good place in which to work.
That the Department appreciates this as well as other
improvements such as a good wage scale, is indicated by
the record of arrests furnished by Inspector Oliver.
For the fiscal year ending June 30 there were two mur-
ders and they were solved.
Six robberies were cleared by as many arrests, against
10 for the year previous. Burglaries showed a slight increase
with 25 for the past year; 18 for the preceding 12 months;
Larcenies were down .SI for the year just ended and 72
the year before; auto thefts, 41 against 38 for the year
ending June 30, 1945; aggravated assaults were 13 against
14.
Crime has gradually fallen off in Vallejo since the end
of the war, but Chief Dierking is prepared for an upsurge
predicted by all law enforcement authorities. He did a
swell job with a comparable small force during the nearly
five years of war, and which has won him high comenda-
tions from top men in the Navy, Army and other war
agencies, that he has no fear about being able to handle
any increase in crime if and when it should come.
Inspector Oliver's records reveal that there vvere 2689
arrests for the past fiscal year. Fingerprints taken were
1946 for the arrests made and a half hundred for other
causes such as taxi drivers, pedlers, civil service and used
car dealers.
Of those printed for crimes 1091 were found to have
records of previous arrests and through the cards sent the
Federal Bureau of Investigation and the California Bureau
1882 were found to have previous records.
On June 1 1 the annual review of the Junior Traffic
Patrol, under the direction of Sergeant Howard Yatsie was
held, and 600 youths who guard the streets to the city's
schools paraded before Chief Dierking and a big turnout
of officials and citizens.Of the 600, 150 were girls. One of
the features of the review was the appearance of the "Baby
Squad" of 9 little boys from the second and third grades.
This squad was given a special trophy.

First prize went to the squad from St. Vincent's school
with Curry School second.
Bay Terrace school won for the girls; Curry school
second in this event.
Sergeant Yatsie says that since the Patrol was organ-
ized in 1927 not one death or injury has been caused by
a traffic accident near the schools these valiant little boys
and girls so well take care of.
Earlier this month Chief Dierking with his wife and
daughter Nulla and son Richard made the round trip to
Nome, Alaska to spend a week with their son John Dierk-
ing who is in the army and who was promoted to the rank
of Sergeant while his family was in the far north.
Chief Dierking said he never enjoyed finer climate,
scenery and more reasonable prices for food and a place to
sleep.

]u\y. 1946
Commendations From S.F. Police Captains
The following are copies of reports submitted to Chief
Charles W. DuUea by Company Commanders. The officers
concerned were personally commended for their attention
to duty, excellent police work and for their alertness, as
outlined in these reports:
"I respectfully call your attention to the efficient police
service rendered by Radio Car Patrolmen Richard E. Bren-
nan and Ralph Eidrup, Co. H — Ingleside Police District:
"The Balboa High School, Onondaga and Cayuga was
burglarized on May 13, 1946. The arsenal was broken into
and 17 U. S. Army 4^ calibre automatic pistols were stolen.
On Friday, May 24, 1946, Officers Brennan and Eidrup
responded to a radio call, interviewing Thomas Cavanaugh,
who stated his son related that several neighborhood boys
had been talking about selling guns, but was reluctant
about naming the boys, other than to say one of them lived
at 417 Randolph Street. From this information the officers
made several interviews at said address and vicinity but
without success. They were driving south on Vernon
Avenue, and approached a small girl about 6 years of age;
they asked her if she knew a young boy in this vicinity an-
swering to the name of Sid. She stated a small boy did live
on this particular block and pointed to a house,
"Officer Brennan went to this house and interviewed
a boy 14 years of age, who confessed that he had two of the
stolen guns in his possession. During the investigation.
Officer Brennan noticed another boy in the front room,
16 years of age. He was questioned and also confessed
that he had 1 1 guns in his basement on Randolph Street.
From the results of these confessions, another boy 1 6 years
of age, was located in a bowling alley on Mission Street,
and he had in his possession, one of the stolen guns. He
confessed that he placed two other stolen guns in the base-
ment of his uncle's home. He also stated he sold one gun
for $25.00 to a 15 -year-old boy. These guns were recov-
ered by the officers, along with 1 1 boxes of .22 calibre shell
and cartridges, also stolen from said school. The three boys
confessed to the burglary of the Balboa High School and
stated their main purpose was to steal the guns in question.
Booked as evidence in this case, were 16 U. S. Army .45
calibre pistols, 1 Mossberg, model "A," 20-power telescope,
11 boxes (50 each), long rifle cartridges, one 6" glass cut-
ter, and one 14" handsaw, the 17th pistol has also been lo-
cated. I respectfully recommend that Radio Car Officers
Richard E. Brennan and Ralph Eidrup, Co. H, be com-
mended for their alertness and attention to duty, in con-
nection with the recovery of this property and the arrest
of the defendants.
Edward P. Donahue,
Captain of Police, Star 568,
Commanding Co. H."
"I respectfully call your attention to the excellent po-
lice duty performed by Officers John Doherty, and James
L. Egan, C(}. E, Northern District, in the arrest of Henry
D. Wiens, 1311 So. Van Ness Avenue on a charge of vio-
lating section 211 P. C. Attempted robbery.
"At about 5:55 A. M., June 14, while the above named
officers were patrolling in Radio Car 4, they were hailed
by Edwin D. Weston, 19 Chattanooga St., at the corner of
Pine and Polk Streets who informed them that he had just
been the victim of an attempted holdup in front of 1220
Bush Street. He related that at about 5 :50 A. M., he drove
his car to the front of his business (The Weston Garage) ,
1220 Bush Street and was in the act of parking same when
a man approached him from the driver's side with his right
hand in the pocket of his leather jacket which protruded in
such a manner that it simulated a gun. The suspect opened
the door of the car and stated 'This is a stickup, move over."
The victim let his car coast backwa/d with the intention
of throwing the suspect off balance. The suspect then ran
across in front of the auto and attempted to get into the
auto opposite the driver, the victim driving ahead and
away from the scene. The officers took the victim and im-
mediately began a search of the vicinity; on Bush Street
just east of Hyde, they arrested one Henry D. Wiens, who
was identified by the victim. Wiens had no gun on his
person when searched, stating that he had simulated a gun
with his hand on approaching his victim.
John M. SullivA'N
Captain of Police, Star 544,
Commanding Northern District."
* * *
"At 4:00 A. M., June 14, 1946, Officers Robert Crow-
ley and Rudolph Hermann, also Mario Marino, while on
patrol observed a negress run across Geary St., at Bu-
chanan St., and speak with white sailors, who were stand-
ing at that corner waiting for a street car. After speaking
with the sailors, she crossed the street, entered a Buick
Roadster and was driven away from the scene by a negro.
The officers stopped the auto, and on investigation, found
a 38 cal. Smith fe? Wesson Revolver loaded with five cart-
ridges and a length of chain, two feet long, covered with
adhesive tape in the glove compartment of the car. The
negro driver was booked ;it the Northern Station, on
charges of violating Sections 1 and 5, Charter 339, Stat'j
utes 1923, $1,000, Vagrancy and En Route to SacramentoJ
Calif. The sailors stated the negress had solicited them foC
an act of prostitution and they had refused. She wafl
b(K>ked for violating Sec. 647, P. C, Quarantine, and
violating Ord. 1869-A. In making this arrest these officer
no doubt prevented serious crimes being committed by th
pair.

S. F. POLICE CHANGES
The promotion of seven members of the San Francisco
police department was announced this month by Chief of
Pohce Charles Dullea.
Everett Cottrell, Fred Keyworth and WilHam Valen'
tine, all officers of the Bureau of Inspectors, were appointed
assistant inspectors.

Bureau's Communications department; transferred to the

Doyle, Mission station, transferred to Park station.
"Spring Came to Maiden Lane, and everybody was
I pleased. But the little family of merchants making up this
I organization realizes that the success of this event was
brought about by something more than its own efforts. The
flowers that bloomed those two short days are gone. We
hope, however, that the spirit of community cooperation
extended to us in the preparations for this occasion will
not fade. You and your department were exceedingly
helpful to us at all times in furnishing us with adequate
police protection, and we want you to know that we are
deeply grateful for this. We are already making our plans
for next year, and in due course, we will ask you again to
join us in welcoming Spring to Maiden Lane.

LAUNDRY MARK DETECTIVE
Two filing cabinets crammed with 300,000 laundry
and dry cleaners' marks make Adam Yulch of the Nassau
County (N. Y.) Police Department "one of the hottest
sleuths in the country," according to an article in the
current (July 6) SaiwAay Evening Post.
During the last ten years Acting Captain Yulch's files
have led to identifications which cracked more than 90
per cent of some 200 cases, ranging from misdemeanors to
murders, writes Joe David Brown, of the New York Daily
J^ews staff, in an article entitled "Laundry-Mark De-
tective."
Using odd bits of clothing, such as a dirty handkerchief
or a pair of threadbare trousers, he can identify most mur-
der or amnesia victims within twenty-four hours, the ar-
ticle states. And his evidence is final: "Since he founded
his Laundry Mark Bureau ten years ago, no defense attor-
ney has ever challenged his evidence in cross-examination."
Mr. Yulch has traveled widely and helped set up laundry
mark bureaus in thirty-four cities, the article reports.
"These visits and an indefatigable correspondence which
he kept up helped him to keep his own files growing.
Nassau County still boasts the only laundry-mark fiiles
which are national in scope."
"It is no more difficult for Yulch to trace the owner of a
garment than it is for the laundry," the Post article con-
tinues. "The big problem, of course, is to find the right
laundry. As Yulch's files keep expanding, this tends to be-
come simpler ..."
Criminals have been detected by laundry marks since
1883, the article points out, but there was no central listing
bureau before Mr. Yulch undertook the herculean task of
rounding up the marks used by thousands of laundries and
cleaning shops.

Chief Rex C. Parker of Stockton
By Bill Roger.s, Stockton Record
"He just doesn't give up."
With this comment, delivered in a sorrowful voice, a
man left Stockton the other day for a nice long stretch
in San Quentin. He was referring to Rex Parker, Chief
of Police. It was as sincere a compliment a criminal
could possibly pay an officer, and there have been many
*%? --^
Chief Rex C. P,\rker
men who have lived (and some who haven't) to regret
his tenacity.
Rex Parker was made Chief in January, 1946, after
twenty years of as exciting detective duty as many a
fine officer would like to experience in a lifetime. There
are other qualification? necessary for the successful admin-
istration of a hundred-man force in one of California's
important cities.
He has those other necessary qualities. If there is one
subject uppermost in his mind, it is the importance of
well-trained, well-disciplined officers, and that in-service
training is going on now under Parker's direction.
The breakdown of this training consists of three major
divisions: Traffic. Detective and Patrol. The program is
set up under the able guidance of Captain S. J. KING,
Director of Personnel and Training, whose other duty
is command of daytime patrol. Captain J. H. HARBERT
commands Traffic and is conducting that framing under
the program as set up by the International Chiefs Associa-
tion. Captain J. A. NORRIS commands Detectives and
Captain JACK McNABB is in charge of all divisions
at night.
There is a nice division of responsibility and the re-
action from the whole force has been excellent. The dis-
cipline from the top down is purposely stern but kind.
Good men always respond to that combination — the result
of course — better policing.
In the writer's interview with Parker, he asked that we
"lay off" of him personally, and "just say that from the
Captains on down to the dozen young ex-service men
recently added to the force — each and every one has re-
sponded to my problems and responsibilities with a loyalty
and understanding that has been an inspiration to me."
However, it is the writer's opinion that a resume of the
Chief's history would not be amiss in an article of
this kind.
Rex's grandfather arrived in Stockton in "49. His father
was a highly respected Judge in this County for years —
so I guess you could fairly call him a "home town boy."
His good father was ambitious for him and suggested
medicine. After three years of that at the University of
California, and "hanging around the Police Department"
during vacations, he decided for himself what he wanted
to do, and what is always more important — did it.
He joined the Stockton Police Force m 1926 as a
patrolman and for three years worked as clerk and acting
desk Sergeant. Not much thrill to that, but a foundation.
He asked for an outside job and got it.
His experiences from here in read like an evening with
Sherlock Holmes. His first came shortly after he left the
"desk," when he subdued, disarmed and arrested a drink-
crazed special policeman who had fatally shot a Chinese
laundryman. Next we find him following a cold trail and
checking in w'ith three counterfeiters; a murderer from
Salt Lake; four ,irmed youths finally convicted of robbery;

a couple of heavily armed hold'up men taken in a hotel
room, single-handed.
Meantime, he was progressing in his study of more
scientific aspects of police work. Early in the game (and
game it was to him) he decided it better for his "style"
of operation that he work alone. Few entries on his
record show him collaborating with other officers. That's
dangerous sport, but some of our best officers like it
that way.
As the years go by, the saga continues and the arrests
go on. In 1938, on the slimmest of clues and two hun-
Sheriff W. H. (Hf.rb) Forward
of San Joaquin County
dred miles of continuous trailing in the wilds of San
Joaquin, he brings in a Mexican murderer of three to
justice and civilization, aboard a saddle horse.
Early in 1940, he accomplished one of the fastest and
best known pieces of detective work in the annals of Cali-
fornia. A prominent St(Kkton youth and his girl were
found murdered on the city's outskirts. No clues — not
a trace of evidence — just two battered bodies. Thirty
hours later Re.x had the two murderers in custody in
Fresno. Both men were subsequently executed.
That New Year's Eve, he forsakes the fireside of his
fine family to dig an armed Filipino out from under a
bed in a San Francisco apartment house. This could go
on and on — knifers; check writers; post office robbers;
murderers, kidnappers — the whole gamut of crime.
His promotions came along in the usual manner from
Patrolman to Chief. His reputation as a fearless and
shrewd detective is well-known throughout the State. Here
in Stockton it is also well known that he has h.id oppor-
tunities for more lucrative work in other fields, but he
has stuck with his "one and only" because he has loved it,
.ind to his eternal credit, monetary rewards have not
■iwerved him from his purpo.<c. And so his city has
given him the highest honor they have to give in his
chosen field, Co-operative? You other Chiefs throughout
the State give him a job to do and see how fa.st and how
thoroughly it is done.
We have gone somewhat "overboard" for Rex Parker
on the personal side. He is a modest man and his face
is likely to be "red" when he sees this in print. Thi>
has been only for the reason that his courage and re-
sourcefulness may inspire these qualities in the younger
men who have taken up police work at a time when it
is belatedly emerging as a profession. If I am correct in
that assumption, I know he won't mind.
It all boils down to qualified leadership. He has done,
and still will do, anything he asked of his men, and they
know it. Some call it morale. It makes great ball teams,
great fighting forces and great police departments. It is
for this reason that San Francisco's department is so
highly regarded — competent, fearless leadership. How can
you lick a guy like that? The answer — you can't — it's
been tried.
ANNUAL lACP MEET IN MEXICO
CITY SEPTEMBER 23-27
The ^3rd annual conference of the International Asso-
ciation of Chiefs of Police will be held September 23-27
in Mexico City.
Chief of Police Fred A. RofF, Morristown, N. J., presi-
dent of the lACP, will preside at the sessions which will
be held in the Palace of Fine Arts, famous for the beauty
of its theater and conference halls.
Approximately 1,000 police officials from the United
States, Mexico, Canada and Central and South American
countries are expected to attend the convention. This will
be the first lACP conference held outside the United
States since the Toronto meeting in 1938 and the first
ever held in Mexico.
Chief Charles W. Dullea, who will be advanced to
the first vice presidency at the Mexico City convention,
with Mrs Dullea, will be present. Others from California
will be Captain and Mrs. Bernard J. McDonald, William
Nasser, Chief Robert Tracy, Oakland, Chief and Mrs.
Alexander K. McAllister of Sacramento, Chief and Mrs.
C. B. Horrall, Los Angeles, Former Vallejo Chief William
Stanfford now of Los Angeles and Chief and Mrs. E.

CHP Officers Help Stranded Motorist
A wom.m friend of the Police .^nd Pe.ace Officers
Journal is these days singing high praise for the Cali-
fornia Highway Patrol ;ind particularly two of its mem
bers. Officers George Tobin and Russell Hanis. who art'
assigned to Marin County.
It appears that this San Francisco woman was rcturninL'
from a trip up the Redwood Highway late one night re
cently. She had to stop her car because of engine trouble
and was greatly worried about being alone with a useless
.lutomobilc. However, these two Highway Patrolmen ap-
peared, heard her story and proceeded to make emergency
rop;u'rs th;it enabled her to resume her trip liome.
She says they were extremely courteous ;iiid knew how
to go about their work of making the needed repairs

Detectives Plan World Fight On Crime
By Donald Stokes, Author of inteniatiojial best-se/ler 'Men Behind Victory', translated into 13 languages.
Writer of many radio phys for the American networks.
Detectives and police chiefs from America, Britain and
other leading countries of the world will meet at The
Hague this summer to sot up an International Criminal
Investigation Office. It will be a spearhead in the world
fight against crime, which is on the increase in nearly
every country.
The headquarters of the new organization has already
been set up at The Hague in a building formerly occupied
Sir Harold Scott, K.C.B.. K.B.D.
Commissioner of Metropolitan Police, New Scotland Yard
by the Nazi S.S. Teletype and wire photographic lines
will link the principal police forces of the world, giving
immediate access to finger prints, photographs and records.
Ronald Howe, chief of Scotland Yard's famous Crim-
inal Investigation Department, who will be the British
representative, is expected to describe to the conference
how Scotland Yard is regionalizing its scientific war on
crime.
Fingerprints and "records" are still the backbone of
detective work, but in an increasing number of cases it
is forensic science that provides the damning evidence. In
Britain, there are a number of Forensic Science Labora-
tories set up by the Home Ofiice. These laboratories are
situated at strategic points in the country and each is
capable of undertaking all the normal scientific work re-
quired. But each laboratory has come to specialize in one
particular line, acquiring or making for itself specialized
and in some cases unique instruments for scientific inves-
tigation of "exhibits."
The Laboratory' at Hendon, closed during the war but
now reopened, is closely associated with Scotland Yard.
It serves the London area principally but can call the
specialists at the Forensic Science Laboratories at Not-
tingham. Cardiff, Birmingham. Wakefield, Bristol and
Preston.
The Preston Laboratory specializes in arson and ex-
plosives. A building may be completely gutted by fire.
but microscopic examination of the charred remains, anal-
ysis of the ash, and other tests may enable not only the
cause of the fire to be ascertained, but also the exact point
at which it was started. The cleverest arson specialists,
devising the most cunning ways of starting a fire so that
they would be miles away at the time, have gone to prison
as the result of scientists examining pinches of ash or
estimating the temperature produced at different points in
the ruins,
Nottingham Forensic Science Laboratory specializes in
biology which covers a wide field. A single grass seed
caught in a pair of trousers has sent men to prison.
Hairs are often valuable clues and today can be identi-
fied with extraordinary certainty. It is possible to give
some description of the probable age and appearance of a
person from a hair and to identify the head from which
it comes.
If there is murder, it is probable that the pathological
work will be done at the Nottingham Laboratory. The
whole formidable batter)' of specialized apparatus used by
modern medicine is now available t o examine clues.
Examination of the lungs of a' person found in a burned-
out house may show that he was strangled or dead from
other causes before the fire started. Examination of the
bloodstains claimed to have been acquired while shaving
may show that the blood came from another person.
Cardiff's specialty is handwriting and forged docu-
ments. It is not easy these days to "get away with"
forgery. Infra-red and ultra-violet rays show up the most
carefully erased or altered writing or printing. The micro-
scope reveals the torn fibers where erasure has been at-
tempted. Paper experts can tell almost to a year when
a particular piece was made and probably where it was
made. Enlargement thousands of times of a single sus-
pected word and projecrion onto a screen will make alter-
ation seem very apparent where with the naked eye all
seems well.
Another specialized form of scientific detection of great
importance is the identification of bullets. Cartridge cases
and bullets are both "finger-printed" in use and can be
proved to have been fired from a particular gun.
There is a very close tie-up between Scotland Yard and
the Federal Bureau of Inve^tifation.
Crime in Britain is fought very much on the same lines
as in America. Most of the work is done by the local
police forces and Scotland Yard (FBI. in the case of
America) is only called in at the request of the local police
chief.
The foundation of any police force is the efficiency of
the policemen on patrol. The big cities of Britain have a
proud record in the corps of men who protect them. The
London police in particular are admired, not only by
tourists, but by the police forces of the world. The new
crime laboratory will keep Scotland Yard in its honored
place.

Oakland^s Aerial Patrol
Six Speedy Planes Piloted By Officers, War Veterans,
Sets Pace For Nations
By B. S. (Sandy) Sanders, retired veteran OaJ^land police reporter, editor, writer.
This is the story of fighting men.
It is the story of generous, civic-minded men, too.
It's the story that once again has placed Oakland's Police
Department under Chief Robert P. Tracy in the foreranks
of the nation's peace and law enforcement officers' groups.
It began when the war clouds spread over the world
all had undergone the usual stiff course of intensive train
ing in aerial warfare.
But they were a bit different from others of their guild
. . . these fighting flyers and the non-flyers of United
States Army. They turned up in Oakland with six BT 1 .V-
the speedy planes much in use by the army.

and the United States found itself again involved in a
World War.
It deals with members of the Oakland Police Depart-
ment who were recently mustered out of service, men who
donned the suits of khaki in Uncle Sam's army wherc
today they wear the police uniform.

scars of war, or the imprints of prison camps.

edged by Mayor Herbert L. Beach, the City Council,
Chief Tracy.
Here is how it all came about:
Sergeant Eddie Ray of the traffic division where the
returned veterans for the most part showed up ijot the
idea last Marcli that if Uncle Sam could spend thousands
of dollars to teach these men to combat war criminals why
couldn't the men and planes be put to work combattinij
peacetime criminals and do a lot of other things when
necessary.
He talked to the men. They t(x>k to the idea like ducks
to water. The air, for most of them, had been their home
for many months. They had found thrills, too, in the skies.
Thus the aerial patrol was tentatively born as the men
said: "Sure Sergeant, we'll fly 'em for the Police De-
partment."
The ground crew men are all veterans of World War II
as well as the fighting pilots.
Let's look at the war records of six of the pilots.
Bill and Fred Marshal! are brothers, sons of the late
Oakland Police Inspector William Marshall. Bill Jr. flew
the hump in China in transport service.
Fred W. Marshall. 1st lieutenant, is 23 years old. He
entered the Army Air Corps January 15, 1943, took pre-
flight training at Cal-Aero, Ontario, California, going to
Gardiner Field at Taft and later for advanced training as
Douglas, Arizona where he graduated. At Del Rio, Texas,
he was assigned for B-26 marauder medium bomber tran-
sition. He was sent overseas with the 9th Air Force 397
Bomb Group stationed in France. On his 10th bombing
mission over Germany he was w^ounded and shot down
over Prum, Germany. He was held prisoner six months
HERE ARE THE WINGS OF OAKLAND'S AERIAL PATROL
Six BT 1 3"s lined up at Oakland airport the day Mayor Herbert L. Beach accepted the gift of the police officers who bought and
paid for these speedy "eyes of the police" and volunteered their use at any and all times to the police department. The planes arc
products of Vultee Consolidated.
Sergeant Ray then took his plans to Chief Tracy. The
Department's head was quick to recognize the value of
"aerial eyes." So Oakland steps out as the first city in the
United States to have a complete Aerial Patrol, accepted
and approved by the Chief of Police, thanks to the fore-
sight of Chief Bob Tracy.
The plane is the fastest motored vehicle at the service
of the Police Department, superseding the former speedy
motorcycle and the slower automobile.
Oakland's Aerial Patrol comprises besides Squadron
Commander Sergeant Eddie Ray, Sergeant Edmund
Thompson, Assistant Squadron Leader; pilots Gene Eng-
strom, "Victor Lagerson, Bill Marshall, Fred Marshall.

at Stlag-Lag-Luft No. 1. Barth, Germany and was released
by the Russians May 5, 1945. Fred received the Air Medal,
the Purple Heart and came home with 1250 hours flying
time. He is married and is the father of a daughter.
Thomas Turner, 26, 1st Lieutenant, while on fighting
missions over Germany had the engine shot out three times
on as many missions, returning from one mission with 72
holes in his plane, received over Hamburg. Turner flew
31 combat missions in all while in the 491 Bombardment
Group in the 8th Air Force. Twice he flew over Berlin.
He was in the battle of the Bulge, carried supplies to
paratroopers in Holland and to the beachhead on the
Rhine. He wears the Air Medal with four clusters and
also four battle stars. He has 1400 hours plus flying time.
He enlisted December 8. 1942.

^^Us Gasomaniacs^^
By Opie L. Warner
September, 1946
Are we becoming a nation of parti'maniacs?
Is it possible we have dual personalities like the char-
acter in Louis Stevenson's famous novel?
Is it gasoline? Is it the automobile? Is the blame for
this condition on our own individual shoulders?
I have done some pretty deep thinking as to the cause
of this new phase in the character of our people; and,
deduce as I may, the riddle remains utterably unanswer-
able, as far as I am concerned.
I have quizzed many of my friends on this matter, but
a kindly shrug of the shoulders is the general answer to
my most pointed question relative to the gaso - maniac
question. Some of my friends blame all the "age we
live" in, but that is worse than the shoulder shrug answer.
Allow me to illustrate my questions by examples:
In our native quiet home town there is a little Miss
Muffitt. Old and young loved her. She was always pretty,
and kind, and gentle. She always could be found in the
little town library or playing with the kids in the park
near her home, or practicing on the piano. She was just
a fine, little lady.
What about this piece of adorable femininity?
Well, a rich uncle bought her a pretty roadster. She
was suddenly missing from the park and the library.
Lovers of sonatas and intriguing waltzes no longer
lingered in the vicinity of her residence.
But no constable or traffic officer for a radius of .lO
or 40 miles was without either personal or a "hear-say
knowledge" of the reckless miss.
"Sassy and impudent", were the qualifying adjectives
used by traffic men and justices of the peace in speaking
of her.
I am slow to believe things I hear about people. In this
way I get the correct story eventually. The little criticisms
I had been hearing of Miss Muffitt were unheeded by me,
but I had not yet even seen her "behind a wheel."
One day I did see her there — and with a bang!
Before the suction of her demon roadster had yet lost
its hold on my summer raiment this little flower had
flashed me a wolfish snarl, at the same fractional instant
hissing: "Numbskull, nincompoop, nitwit!" I was stunned.
Just imagine all this from the erstwhile timid Miss Muffitt.
Almost parallel cases with some of our town's noblest
and best and mildest citizens came in convincing array.
We feel depressed when some of our most prized idols
prove just common clay; and at each rude shock, I ruefully
remember the blissful past.
I got to hate the good old summertime. All life now
seemed to be just a startling blast of a horn, and instan-
taneous growling of passing wheels, and a cloud of dust.
The verdant hedges bordering on the highways and byways
were no longer verdant. It seemed as if all the mill
tailings in the world had been carefully dusted on the
multi-colored green foliage, giving the whole the appear-
ance of drought and thirst, and sickly-looking white dust.
Occasionally this mad, dust-cloud procession would h
momentarily brought to a standstill, due to the wrecking
of one of the crazy chariots. Once in a while the distorted '
inhuman face of a driver would hiss a snappy hymn i ■
hate, or at least two or three words of some torrid hymn,
at me — the despised nedestrian.
As I said above, these hateful words and glances wer.
a daily occurrence. The worst of it all was the fact thai
the angry actors in these action scenes included our best I
and most gracious citizens. No high-priced Hollywood
star could come within a hundred miles of expressing
instantaneous anger and hate, as our gentle Miss Muflit:
could, should a pedestrian dare to attempt to cross her
lightning path through the quiet streets of our town.
This little miss gave me my first gaso-maniac insult. Bui
alas! I was to endure a daily dozen similar ones from tli
general run of trades and professions. Yes, and I will adJ
that many, many times I astonished myself with the latent
speed I exhibited in dodging our local motorcycle officere i
as they proceeded to report on or off duty at police head-
quarters. I will go further, and say I come to attentici
every time a fire wagon flashes to or from a call.
There's no exception. It has got everybody.
The leader of a safety first club has paid a few small i
fines for not lingering properly in neighboring township-
while behind the wheel. Of course, he does not boast
of this at our safety-first and go-slow meetings.
What are we coming to?
Remember the days when old and young jostled, joyou
and happy, at the Union depot, the Ocean Shore depot,
or the Monticello wharf, early on Sunday morning, to get
aboard for a day's outing? Didn't Scheutzcn Park look
cool and green? What immense sylvan paradises Fairfax
and Shellmount parks looked to parents, children and
young men and maidens a few short years ago. Twenty
miles in a crowded train or boat, or four or five miles in
a good rig represented a "perfect day".
Now, what have we?
Well, the village barber, instead of telling of good
fishing down at the pier, or at the mill falls, or below th.
water works dam, recounts his luck 40 miles back ot
Brown Butte, and goes into detail telling of the troubK
he had in getting there through the last five miles by pack
mule.
Do our dude youths hang around the soda fountain-
now, wearing the latest haberdashery?
No. They are getting acquainted with justices of th^
peace in some neighboring county. Or, perhaps, they an
flirting with some young flapper at the other end of the
State, at a beach or a resort, 80 or a 100 miles as the crow
flies, from their home town.
Yes, one of the worst symptoms of this disease (if I
may call it that) is the hankering to see pleasure far from
the home roof. This hankering includes all ages and all

Seattle Has Test For New Police Chief
With the retirement of Chief H. D. Kimsley of Seattle,
the Mayor and City Council of that city were faced with
getting a successor to Chief Kimsley who has served for
the past five years.
These municipal officers decided they would try to get
a man to head its Police Department, one well qualified
by experience in administration and hard police work,
Charles W. Dullea
who would give Seattle a top place in law enforcement.
They also decided that the examination they proposed
would be open to any competent police official throughout
the United States. Thus they followed the pattern in effect
in Berkeley, Fresno and Pasadena, California.
The notice that it was an open race- for the chiefship
brought many applicants, but only 12 qualified at the
written tests. This dozen men were then scheduled to
take the important oral examination, and to conduct this
feature of the program of selecting a new Chief of Police,
the Mayor and Councilmen were determined to get the
best men available to conduct it.
They did a mighty good job of getting good men for
the three men invited to take this responsible task were
Homer Garrision, commissioner of safety for the State of
Texas; V. A. Leonard, head of the Public Science and
Administration Department, Washington State College at
Pullman, Washington, and Chief Charles W. Dullea of
San Francisco.
The examinations were held starting August 22, and
for several days the examiners held sessions from 9 a. m.
to 5 p. m., going into every phase of the educational
background, experience as law enforcement officers, ad-
ministration of Police affairs and handling of personnel
and any and all constructive queries that would help them
in determining which of the 12 men was the best fitted
to take over the Seattle Police Department.
There were five members of the Seattle force qualified
for the oral examination, two from the State of Wash-
ington and five from outside the state cities.
At the conclusion of the tests Richard R. Foster, who
has been Acting Chief of Police of Kansas City during
the war absence of Chief Anderson, was selected as the
top man; Captain of Inspectors Henry Lawrence of the
Seattle Police Department placed second and the third was
Sergeant George Eastman.
Chief Dullea stated on his return from Seattle it was a
tough matter to decide which of this trio should be placed
first but the experience Chief Foster has had as head of
the Kansas City Police Department and his record as a law
enforcement officer gave him the winning nod.
Seattle's Police Chief is appointed for five years, the
appointment being made by the Mayor and must be certi-
fied by a majority of the City Council.
Chief Dullea and Mrs. Dullea, who accompanied him
north, were entertained in Portland, Ore., by Chief L. V.
Jenkins, who is one of the outstanding Police Chiefs in
this country.
The following Associated Press dispatch tells of the
appointment of the new Chief for Seattle, who by the
way, was the third man recommended by the Examination
Committee. Mayer William F. Devlin named Sergeant
George Eastman, 33, as Seattle's next police chief.
The appointment came a week after the City Council
rejected the Mayor's appointment of Richard R. Foster,
assistant chief at Kansas City. Eastman, a war veteran,
was second to Foster in the examinaation score by a three-
man board. He heads the records bureau of the Seattle
police traffic division. The council is expected to confirm
the appointment.
G. I.'s should beware of souvenir weapons. No Ameri-
can ammunition is made for Jap arms. Many other foreign
weapons are not safe for use with the generally more pow-
erful similar American ammunition. The German semi-
automatic Gewehr 41M particularly is a potential postwar
booby trap. Unless its bolt is securely locked into position,
it will fly back and tear into a shooter's face.

BAY COUNTIES'
Peace Officers^ Association
MEETINGS EVERY MONTH
Sheriff Howard P. (Jleasox, President
Captain Bernard McDonald, Secretary-Treasurer
Nearly ten years ago the late Chief Thomas Burke of
San Mateo, looking for some different way to entertain
the members of the Bay Counties Peace Officers" Associa-
tion, hit upon the idea of throwing a barbecue when his
turn came to holding monthly gatherings. He selected
Coyote point and with some skilled assistants provided a
barbeque steak feed with all trimmings, including low
powered liquids. The innovation with the Bay County
peace officers went over big, and during a summer month
this has been a feature held annually.
When Chief Robert O'Brien was appointed to suc-
ceed Chief Burke he announced he would continue the
practice, but owing to war conditions he could not hold
Chief Robert O'Brien
It at Coyote Point and the first two meetings he was not
able to get steak. He had to depend on chickens. But
this year he had Secretary Captain Bernard McDonald
send out announcements that the meeting would be held
in Old St. Mary's park back of Hillsdale, in a beautifully
sequestered spot, and that there would be steaks cooked
over opened barbecue pits.
The response to the announcement brought out the
biggest number of people to attend a meeting of the
Association. On August 1, the date of the bi-monthly
session, some three hundred peace officers and their
friends descended upon the picnic grounds.
Here Chief O'Brien, who shared honors as host with
Chief Jack Theuer of Burlingamc and Chief Walter
Wisnon of Hillsborough, had arranged to give the guests
a big time. There were plenty of liquid refreshments. This
feature was presided over by Captain Martin McDonald
and a corps of San Mateo police officers.
After getting their thirsts quenched new arrivals went
back to see what "was cooking." Here they found the

POLICING - A PROFESSION
By Oviv. L. Warner
For many years I have felt pained at the senseless funny
paper jokes on pohcemcn, knowing as I did — being in the
newspaper business — that no single group of our citizenry
is one whit ahead of our policemen either morally, men-
tally, or physically.
I always have maintained that policing is a profession
for the reason that the police officer is a member of our
local peace army; and no one will deny that the fine Ameri-
cans who defend our nation on sea and land are members
of one of the most ancient and honorable professions.
The church, medicine, and law have, for many years,
been duly recognised professions, but, in this present
generation, the number of professions has increased by
leaps and bounds. So much so is this the case that today,
to be anything more than an itinerant laborer, a college
degree is called for.
I have just read a most interesting book by one of
the nation's leading professors. The treatise deals with the
evolution of the medical profession.
It takes the reader along a trail which reveals the
childish simplicity, the gross ignorance, the unpardonable
cunning, and the horrifying barbarity of those, who, down
through the ages, have undertaken to cure suffering hu-
manity.
Blacksmiths, barbers, self-styled healers, and metal smiths
were the original doctors and dentists. Soldiers were the
first policemen. Our modern police have, at least an
honorable ancestry.
A couple of centuries ago police came under the gen-
eral category of town criers or night watchmen. But the
advent of the machine age, with the consequent abnormal
concentration of population, changed that condition.
Crowding and crime seem to be synonymous, A local
group of protectors of life and property became an abso-
lute necessity — hence our modern police departments.
As society became more complicated criminals devised
new schemes of living without earning an honest dollar.
To thwart the criminal and convict him of his devious
breaches of the law needed more than strong, healthy,
patrolmen, hence today we find that, in addition to being
otherwise qualified, a candidate for the position of patrol-
man must have "at least" a high school education.
Wc also find th.it attendance at police summer 'schools,
and constant and serious study, are necessary to secure
promotion in police departments, even in small com-
munities.
Next November over one hundred members of our
San Francisco Police Department will take written exami-
nations for promotion to the rank of lieutenant and
captain, respectively.
To these men this examination will he one of the most
important efforts of their life.
Personally I know more than eighty per cent of the
candidates. I wish them all success. The jump to be
hurdled next November is a mighty one.
I have contended that policing is a profession. Lest any
of my readers should have the temerity to dispute this
fact, I am setting forth herewith the names of the indi-
vidual books and treatises which the Civil Service Com-
mission of the City and County of San Francisco has
just officially released for the information of our candi-
dates for the November promotion examinations.
To those who — without any reason for so doing — think
and say that police are just people who have more or less
ease and leisure and a steady job without any put out,
I would say:
Read the list of books and treatises mentioned in the
little library stipulated by the Civil Service Commissioners,
set forth herewith, and then humbly say: "The man
who is master of all that police lore is easily in the class
of Oliver Goldsmith's village schoolmaster." In re the
November promotion examination for Captains and Lieu-
tenants the Civil Service Commission states as follows:
The following list of bibliographical authoritive refer-
ences will be used in determining the propriety of key
answers to questions dealing with the pertinent subjects
in the forthcoming examinations for lieutenants and cap-
tains of police:

Bay Counties IdentiFication Officers
In April, 1945, Lieutenant Walter Hawkinson of the
Oakland Police Department, Inspector R. T. Sherry of
the Berkeley Police Department and Criminologist Francis
X. Latulipe of the San Francisco Police Department got
together and decided that an organization of police identi'
fication officers work in this area should be formed.
They had seen this important branch of enforcement
of the law grow by leaps and bounds. For years the work
of this feature of police effort was confined to taking
pictures, making measurement and taking and filing
finger prints, later developing into improving the records
of these activities and exchanging them with the Federal
Bureau of Investigation and the State Bureau. Then the
heads of law enforcement agencies saw that this work
should not be placed in charge of men who sought an
easier billet and who brought but little interest and knowl'
edge into the business. Within the past ten years or more
better qualified men have been assigned to the identifica-
tion departments of police and Sheriffs offices. These
men have been imbued with the idea that theirs was an
important work, which it is, and as the years passed by
they expanded the scope of their work — studying hand-
writing, blood types of all kind, mastered the intricacies
of safes, took up the analyzing of soils, hairs, cloths and
many other objects that have proven valuable clues to a
crime and has resulted in the solution of many a case.
So as bigger and older branches of law enforcement
have organized and the three able and experienced police
officials proceeded to organize the Bay Counties Identifica-
tion Officers Association.
It was a different organization than most state Peace
Officers organizations in that they have only one elected
officer, and that is the secretary. The only secretary the
Association has had since its inception is Inspector Sherry.
The presiding officer is the host at the monthly meetings,
who takes over as master of ceremonies, provides enter-
tainment and sees that the boys who foregather at nightly
sessions are properly fed.
The July meeting of the Association, held at the Stone
Cellar, Atherton, at which Sergeant Dale Atwood of
Palo Alto and Captain LeRoy Hubbard of Atherton
shared the honors as hosts, and Sergeant Atwood acting
president for the night.
Following a sumptuous banquet featured by New
York cut steaks the some 50 guests repaired to a large
dining hall where an interesting program was put on.
District Attorney Leonard Avilla, of Santa Clara, was
the principal speaker. He said California has a rapidly
expanding population and we will have 2,000,000 more
people within the next few years. He said it was a fine
thing that the peace officers of this state have organiza-
tions such as the Identification Association to meet the
obvious increase in crime of this increased population.
He explained that the Identification officers have been
taken from the horse and buggy days in the matter of
equipment, and are furnished with the best that money
can buy, that they have developed blood testing to a high
state of efficiency, and many of them have become com-
petent dictaphone installers and through the efforts of such
organizations as the one he was addressing. He said they
were coordinating the use of every proven scientific device.
He stated Santa Clara county was going in for taking
moving pictures of drunken drivers, pointing out that this
sort of evidence has proven very satisfactory in Fresno.
Officers John E. Davis and Patrick Fuller of the Oak-
land Police Department, put on a picture lecture in which
they displayed stills taken at various crime jobs in Oak-
knd. They showed safe jobs and how the men opened
them, and showed how to detect and preserve important,
though in many instances apparently insignificant evi-
dence. The pictures were good and the talks that went
with them were something easily understood.
Captain of Inspectors William E. Baccus of the Oak-
land Police Department addressed the assemblage, and
told how through working with the Civil Service Com-
mission his city like many other Northern California cities
were getting men with the ability to master the detail of
the work of law enforcement and that police work is
rapidly attaining a professional standing. He said a man
who shows the ambition now has the chance of advance-
ment in rank and this means an increase in his income.
Chief Edward O'Farrell of Atherton was called on for
a few remarks and he heartily welcomed the guests of the
night. Captain Hubbard also said he was glad the boys
had come down to his town. Chief Williams of Albany
invited the members to hold their August meeting in his
town. The writer was called on to say a few words as
was Criminologist Latulipe.
Among those present beside the above named were :
James Donovan and E. T. Wilson of Emeryville;
Leonard Nisbett and George Meyers of Richmond;
Edward Motta of San Leandro; Sydney Brown, C.
Chambon, Tom Keating and Harold Wright, Oakland
Police Department; R. Mandeville, Antioch; Edward
Maillard, San Carlos; Paul Jensen, San Mateo; Deputy
Sheriffs Floyd Heffron, Fred Harnden and Tom Stevens,
Alameda; Robert Turley, Albany; C. V. Brennan, San
Qucntin.

Salinas Chief Weight
By Max Gorxxin, V^'ell Known Sahncis ^Newspaperman
Page n
FBI trained Chief of Police George C. Weight has
modeled his Salinas department along the lines recom-
mended by that ace national crime prevention and sup-
pression organization and the record shows he has achieved
results since he became top man in the department in 1943.
Police work in Salinas is complicated by a heavy tran-
sient population (the city is on the main line between San
Chief George C. Weight
of Salinas
Francisco and Los Angeles) , by the thousands of nationals
who work in the lettuce fields and by the wealth of the city
which attracts criminals who seek rich pickings.
Transient population is handled efficiently by the 24 man
department whose members believe implicitly in the "crime
prevention or suppression" program which the Chief
preaches. "We let the transients know we are on the job,"
the Chief declares. "We figure we'd rather pick up a man
as a vagrant than look for him later on for a burglary' or
more severe crime."
The nationals have presented no serious problem as far
as extremely violent crimes are concerned. "They are
normally a very peace-loving people,"' the Chief says.
Sometimes they get a little too much to drink. "That's the
reason the department makes a point of rounding up
drunks quickly and painstakingly.
Salinas, the "salad bowl of America" is a wealthy city.
Criminals who might be tempted to operate here find the
going tough. Illustrating this point, and the emphasis
Chief Weight places on careful checking out of suspicious
actions, was the arrest of three badly wanted safe burglars.
The three men were picked up by Salinas police early one
Sunday morning because two officers checked into a car
with blinking lights. One of the men was apprehended as
he left the scene of an attempted entry into a grocery store
and the other two were picked up in the getaway car. a few
minutes later. After thorough check here the men were
tied in with a burglary in an adjoining county and turned
over to those officials for prosecution.
In another instance Salinas police arrested two men

a sister of one of the men. When the brother contacted
her both the wanted men were arrested.
Chief Weight came to his present position through the
ranks. He joined the department in 19.il as a traffic offi-
cer and served in that capacity until 19.^7 when he became
a Sergeant. He worked on the desk most of the time until
1942 when, after attending the 20th session of the FBI
school he was appointed Captain by Chief of Police M. A.
LaPierre. Attending the school with Chief Weight were
Vic Tibbs, now Monterey county undersheriiF, and Roy
Fraties, now Chief of Police at Carmel.

Chief Moore and Boys* Club of Monterey
In Monterey — a city where the we<ither, sardines and
city officials are subject to change without notice — PoHce
Chief Fred H. Moore assumes the proportions of a virtual
Rock of Gibraltar.
For the Chief has headed the police force for 1 5 years.
Chiff Fred H. Moore
of Monterey
and his record is a model of accomplishment and coopera-
tion for the entire community. There is only one chance
of his leaving office — and that is if he is elected Monterey
County Sheriff in the November general election.
In the primary contest, Chief Moore emerged from a
field of nine candidates to enter the November run-off
second only to Jack McCoy of Salinas, deputy sheriff
who recently was appointed Sheriff to succeed the late
Sheriff Alex H. Bordges of Salinas.
Sheriff McCoy's term expires Jonuary 1, and cither he
or Chief Moore will then take office depending upon the
outcome of the general election in November.
Observers freely predict Chief Moore will receive solid
support from the Monterey Peninsula, where he is as well
known as the Carmel Mission,* Fisherman's Wharf, the
old Custom House and the Monterey Cypress. For he has
become an institution — one that has won the admiration
and friendship of all who know him.
During the past 15 years Monterey's $20,000,000 in-
dustry— sardines — has fluctuated according to the avail-
ability of the elusive fish, and the weather has been no
less certain.
In city politics, appointed as well as elected officials
come and go with the greatest of ease. Only this summer
the City Manager. City Attorney and most recently the
Fire Chief have been replaced, and the High School
Superintendent was ousted and then put back in office by
popular demand.
But Chief Moore's department has functioned so
smoothly through these municipal turmoils that it has
become almost the only office in the city to remain intact
and without criticism. Indeed, the opposite has been the
case, with frequent praise accorded the Chief and his staff
for the commendable manner in which crime has been
handled and in many cases averted.
The main accomplishment of the Monterey police force
in preventing lawlessness was the creation of the Mon-
terey Boys" Club, an organization of teen-age lads which
has reulted in a definite decrease in juvenile delinquency
in the Monterey area in comparison to other localities of
the 14,000 population class.
In fact, the Monterey Boys' Club has gained such wide-
spread notice that recently FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover
requested Chief Moore to send him a detailed report of
the organization to be used as a model for other communi-
ties.
Chief Moore, born 59 years ago in Hollister and edu-
cated in San Jose schools, lives with his wife in Monterey
and has no children of his own. TTiat is why, perhaps, he

S. F. Police Academy Graduating Exercises
On June 21, the 31 recruit class of the San Francisco
Police Academy was given its commencement send off.
The exercises were held in the auditorium of the High
School of Commerce and was attended by some 400 in-
terested men and women. Among those present were the
corps of prominent people who gave their time as lecturers
and instructors during the course which was completed
in June.
This class graduated from the Police Academy was one
of the largest turned out to date, and is the first class
under the plans intorduced by Chief Charles Dullea to
make it the best school in the country for training new
members for police work.
Under the direction of Director of Personnel James
English the course attracted some fine type of men and
women who appeared before the 37 young men who have
taken law enforcement as their life's work.
At the graduating exercises Governor Earl Warren ad-
dressed the class, and he gave some excellent facts about
enforcing the laws, facts he has gleaned through a long
time of service as assistant city attorney of Oakland and
assistant district attorney and district attorney of Ala-
meda county and as attorney general.
Jerd Sullivan, president of the Police Commission also
addressed the members of the graduating class, and ex-
pressed his pleasure at the type of young men who had
entered the police department.
Commissioner J. Wesley Howell impressed the class
with his statement that its members could not go wrong
if they followed the advice and instructions of their supe-
rior officers.
District Attorney Pat Brown, one of the lecturers,
deliver an interesting and instructive address.
Chief Dullea congratulated the class and the array of
instructors, telling the latter they had done a mighty fine
job and had rendered a public service that would not
be forgotten. The Chief who climbed to the top in police
work the hard way, having no schools of instruction on
the work he was to do, told the graduating class members
that they were ready to go out on their beats fortified with
knowledge of their duties, gained at the Police Academy,
that would take years to duplicate if they had not had
the advantage of this training.
Following are the .^7 men who successfully passed the
course and were graduated to full time police officers:

Law Enforcement and Police Administrationi
Address by ROBERT W. Kenny, Attorney General of California, at Bay Counties Peace Officers Association August
at Barbecue Meeting.
The end of every war brings with it outbrea\s which
under normal conditions have been held in check by the
force of Public opinion, regular policing activities, in-
ability to arouse companions to lawlessness, or simply
lethargy. When the regular forces of law and order break
down, there have, in our history, sprung up Ku Klux
Klans, Vigilantes, night riders, and other groups who first
took matters into their own hands because of the need for
protection, but later refused to give up their assumed
Attorney General Robert W. Kenny
powers. Today — after four years of war, the strains which
have been fairly well-controlled are closer to the surface.
Law enforcement, as it relates to police administration,
therefore again becomes a matter that cannot be left to
fhance, and which must be bolstered by whatever means
are at hand or can be found to prevent disorder, confusion,
or unrestrained activity. Vigilance — not Vigilantes — is
essential.
; The heavy turnover in law enforcement executives is
most frequently attributable to the necessity of relying
on the services of untrained men, inability to stand alone
against minority pressure groups who demand a policy of
enforcement or non-enforcement at variance with the
public welfare, or emergencies which must be met without
adequate reserves. The formulation of policies, the training
of personnel, and planning in preparation for emergencies
are essential parts of good police administration. In no
other profession, business, or occupation are they more
vital to successful performance.
One of the first )ohs of a Police Chief is to \eep his job.
Certainly it avails the public nothing that he is an intelli-
gent, trained, and courageous administrator unless he
retains his office.
The bald fact is that under present conditions a Police
Chief or a Sheriff must devote far too much of his tim
thought, and energy not in the direct protection of lit
and property, but in the protection of his position. Thi>
who survive as public officials in a democracy give tl
people not necessarily what is good for them, not wh,
we think they should have, but what they want.
The public may becompared to a scale of one hundrc
graduations. Those from one to five are the radicals wl
want some law enforced to the letter; those from ninet'
five to one hundred are the vicious who want no enforc
ment that will interfere with their proceeds from crimin
activity or will restrain their cruel expressions toward son
minority group, the other 90 per cent often do not car
what happens as long as they are not disturbed.
Obviously, it is the 90 per cent of the people who ar
important. They should be served and protected, not onl
against the criminal and disorder hazarding life and pro[
erty, but also as to freedom from unnecessary interfereni
in their lives.
Any one of this overwhelming majority of sound, lav
abiding citizens may "cuss" the police, but only because
has become a habit, the "thing to do." He is much lik
the American soldier who grouses and grumbles to such ,i
extent that his officers become concerned only when lii
stops complaining or expresses satisfaction.
This larger portion of the citizenry, which we ha\
arbitrarily called "90 per cent," does have reasonable con
fidence in the police. Its members leave their doors un
locked at night, permit their children to go to and frc:
schools unattended, and do not generally consider it nt\
essary to carry a revolver when going to and from tli
bank with money. Essentially, they trust their peace ofl
cers and support the Chief or the Sheriff until sonir'
goes wrong. The incident that arouses wrath or irru
of the majority may be caused by poorly-trained pohVc
men, unsatisfactory policies, or an emergency. These weak
nesses require positive attention.
The officer who makes an illegal arrest, the one whc
shoots a fleeing misdemeanant, or the one who beats up
prisoner, usually acts improperly because of inadcquai
training. Loose or unsatisfactory policies — the restricti
enforcement of laws against commercialized gambling ■
prostitution, such strict enforcement of gambling laws th
one fears to play bridge for a prize in his home, allowam
of cruel treatment of and intolerant interference wii
some minority racial or religious group — require clarific.i
tion and firmness.
Emergencies affecting the tenure of a Chief may be i
disastrous proportions or they may involve one isolate
crime, such as the \idi\apping of a child. These emcrgcr
cics becomes a serious matter to the Chief only when he '
not prepared to meet them.
Many years of honest and faithful service are often for
September, 1946
POLICE AND PEACE OFFICERS' lOL'RNAL
Page 19
gotten when an incident occurs which induces fear and
is emotionally disturbing to the citizens. Question is
promptly raised as to why the Chief or the Sheriff had
not taken proper steps to train his men.
And the answer is that he does train his men, usually
to the limit of time, money, and instructors available. The
trouble is that he never has enough time or money to do
the perfect job of protecting life and property and main-
taining order. In a small department it is ne.xt to impossible
to remove a man from a burglar)' investigation or from a
school traffic patrol to use him as an instructor; few law
enforcement executives have available the instructors or
facilities for training. Police training must be constant
throughout the life of the olficer. Most police training at
present is by "hit or miss" and "trial and error."
Question also arises as to why, if the Chief or the
Sheriff makes his own policies, he does not make them
conform to public opinion.
And here the answer is that the majority of citizens,
the sound 90 per cent, are practically inarticulate and to
not make their wishes known. City councils and mayors
who have the power to displace Chiefs are also subjected
to seljish, cruel, or intolerant pressure groups. The Chief
is dependent for appropriations and for survival upon the
good will of his Council, his Mayor, and possibly his
Police commission. Seldom will an aroused citizenry come
to his defense when he defies his superiors and takes a
courageous stand on matters directly concerned with the
general welfare when he is attacked by some powerful
group. Although his objectives may be the "greatest good
for the greatest number" or "a maximum of protection and
a minimum of interference," he must compromise and
compromise to approach them. There is no straight line to
hew to.
Finally comes the demand that the Chief or Sheriff pre-
pare for emergencies and maintain a reserve of officers to
meet any contingency. There are never enough men to do
a perfect job on the routine work. While in the detective
story an investigator can spend weeks m solving a case,
in real life there are constant interruptions caused by new
cases. Relative importance, urgency, and manpower avail-
able must be judged and decision made as to which case
deserves priority. With a ten-man detective bureau, nine of
them cannot be assigned to work on a kidnapping without
a disregard for many other crimes which are reported. In
case of an earthquake, flood, or civil disturbance, a Police
Department in the average small city is almost helpless
without rolimteer aid, whether it be citizen volunteers or
officers from other departments. In most of the states, there
is no legally authorized means of handling an emergency
between the extremes of "let the city forces do it" and
"invoke martial law."
In any major disaster which appeals to the imagination
and sympathy of the public, there ix help forthcoming.
But in minor emergencies — a series of house burglaries, a
sex pervert attacking women or children, or a series of
holdups — a Chief of Police finds himself without enough
men to investigate, patrol, detect, and apprehend. If he
gets help at all it will be from the Sheriff or from some
neighboring dty, but any interchange of personnel will be
on a basis of voluntary co-operation and at the expense of
the lending agency.
Selection and distribution of personnel, direction of
activity, maintenance of records, and regulation of con-
duct are reasonably easy to accomplish. However, many
excellent police executives find themselves helpless to cope
with other and even more important phases of police ad-
ministration— maintaining sound policies, training their
men, and meeting emergencies with available reserves. Res-
ignations, retirements, dismissals, and reductions of Police
Chiefs have almost ceased to have news value. As a result
of these circumstances, it is worthy of comment when a
Chief manages to maintain his position even for a decade.
To an informed layman, the handicaps under which
the police work are appalling. He cannot realize that there
exists no direct line of authority from the governor down
to the patrolman on the beat. He cannot believe that co-
operation between two city Police Departments is an en-
tirely voluntary matter based on public spirit and friend-
ship alone. He cannot conceive of their lacking any regu-
lar agency designed to integrate the functions of all law
enforcement agencies. And, if he looks further, he is
astonished to find to what extent co-operation has been
developed between police departments on a basis of noth-
ing but voluntary endeavor of the officers involved.
Among themselves peace officers have over a long period
of years planned, worked, and organized with a view to
retaining a high degree of autonomy for political sub-
divisions while filling in the gaps that exist between depart-
ments in our structure of government. Literally, there are
hundreds of organizations supported financially by the
officers and dedicated to providing better protection to life
and property. Since the turn of the century, the Interna-
tional Association of Chiefs of Police has wielded power-
ful influence for the betterment of law enforcement. In
this state, improved law enforcement has been supported
by the California State Peace Officers Association, the
California Association of Highway Patrolmen, the Sher-
iff's Association, and many county organizations, to name
only a few.
These associations have stimulated closer co-operation,
they have aided in police training, they have helped toward
establishing uniform and workable policies, and they have
planned for emergencies. They are volunteer, an out-
growth of the officers' desire to do a good job, and have
been invaluable not only to the peace officers but to the
public as well.
Despite all that peace officers have done voluntarily,
conditions are for from satisfactory. The remedy of "state
police" is certain to be suggested, but many of the people
of California, as well as other states, prefer the relatively
bad existing conditions to a centralization of authority
and would rather endure the complications and inefficien-
cies in our yet to be perfected democratic government to
anything that smacks of dictatorship. The precepts of a
democracy arc baser primarily not on order and security
but on protection of the rights of the individual. Still, all

GENERAL ORDER No. 86
Complaints have been received hy Chief Charles W.
DuUea to the effect that memhcrs of this department in-
terfere with newspaper photographers in taking photo-
graphs for their respective employers. The interference
complained of sometimes occurs in private premises and
at other times on public streets and sidewalks and in
public playgrounds.
Chief Dullea has issued the following orders and with-
out mentioning names, times or places, the following illus-
tration is furnished to indicate the type of police
interference comphiined of:
The case involved the death of a young man which
t(X}k place on public property. Two photographers
pursuant to orders from their editors proceeded to the
scene. When they arrived there they found the
mother of the deceased in a room in the premises.
Naturally, she was distracted, but the newspaper
photographers, in the execution of their assignments,
desired to take a photograph of the mother. She indi-
cated a desire not to be photographed, and the super-
intendent of the public place also expressed a desire
to have no "PUBLICITY." A police officer was on
the scene and relying on the statement of the mother
as hereinbefore indicated and the wishes of the super-
intendent that he desired no publicity compelled the
photographers to leave the premises. One of the
photographers, however, had taken a photograph prior
to his ejection, but the second photographer was pre-
vented by the oflScer from taking a photograph and
said prevention resulted in a complaint being made to
this office.
In discussing the justice of the complaint made by the
photographer, certain fundamentals in the field of police
and press activity must be considered. The right of a
newspaper employee to take a photograph in a public
place is a legitimate activity and undoubtedly is one of
the incidents guaranteed by the constitutional provision
providing for a free press. As we know, newspaper
photographs are essential factors in reporting matters of
public interest and it is difficult to imagine that a press
would he free when a police officer could deprive the
photographer from taking photographs in the interest of
his newspaper. If it could be said that a police officer has
such a right, then it would be a grave and serious inter-
ference with the constitutionally guaranteed freedom of
the press.
It may be that, under some conditions, the private
person whose photograph is about to be taken has a
right to privacy and that, therefore, said private person
may have some civil redress against the person responsible
for the taking of the photograph. Assuming that such
civil redress may be available, the question then arises as
to what part the police officer may legally play in the
enforcement of the alleged civil right. It is a principle
well understood in our department that police officers arc
not expected to enforce civil rights. Redress for these
civil rights, if violated, can be obtained through civil
courts, and, consequently, if a civil right is violated in the
taking of a photograph, then the remedy must bie enforced
through some officer or tribunal other than a police officer
or the police department. In the case illustrated, we do
know that no penal statute was violated, and, conse-
quently, the police officer should not have interfered and
prevented the photographer from carrying out the dut^'
assigned to him.
Other instances have been complained of wherein
police officers prevented newspaper photographers from
taking photographs. There is no necessity, however, of
stating the facts involved in the other cases as the prin-
ciples illustrated in the example hereinbefore specified
show the procedure to be followed by the police officer in
all cases where a comparable situation exists.
It should also be remembered by police officers that
newspaper reporters and newspaper photographers have
definite assignments; that their work in the reporting field
demands their assignments must be executed without delay
and their editors expect them to return at the earliest
possible moment in order that facts of public interest may
by published through newspaper columns. As already
stated, photographic reporting is many times more essen-
tial than written reporting.
What has been said hereinbefore must not be extended
beyond its proper limits. There may be cases where police

Pickpocket Caught in the Act
Page 21
The dream of every member of a Pickpocket Detail of
any Police Department is to catch a pickpocket in the
act of dipping into a pocket of a citizen.
Such dreams rarely occur, but last month Inspectors
Louis Linss and Joseph Donegan of the San Francisco
Police Department Pickpocket and Bunco Detail, had the
great joy of seeing such a dream come true, and in its
fruition they had the hearty cooperation of Inspector
Michael Chrystal who for years has been a member of
the detail.

on the side walk and witnessed this occurrence. He met
his two fellow Inspectors and their prisoners at the door.
He immediately pegged Linss' man as that whose picture
had been received by the Detail from Los Angeles.
The three men in custody were taken to the Hall of
Justice after being searched. The man whose pocket was
being picked disappeared in the crowd without knowing
what was going on.
However, on searching Fernando Leyva, the man Linss

Inspectors Linss and Donegan were riding from the
Hall of Justice on a Kearny Street Municipal bus. The
bus stopped at Geary street. As passengers began piling
out of the bus others climbed on. Linss spotted a "dip"
going into the pocket of a man getting off the bus. He
grabbed the "dip's" hand and Donegan close by saw the
act and immediately looked around for confederates who
always hover near such incidents to grab any loot taken
from a victim. He saw two mighty suspicious characters
and immediately placed them under arrest. With the

name Clyde Longworth, who proved to be the San Fran-
cisco superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph
Company and whose home was in Burlingame. He was
communicated with and identified check book, having lost
it and not knowing his pocket had been picked.
Yeyva was charged with grand theft, and was held to
answer. His confederates, with whom he had been associ-
ated in Los Angeles, had to be turned loose because
there was no evidence to hold them here.

Col. Edward F.Penaat in Army Again
It's Colonel Edward F. Pcnaat of the United States
Army again. For Assistant Inspector Penaat, who since
he was mustered out of the service after five years service
as Provost Marshal in San Francisco and the far Pacific
war fronts, had been assigned to the Homicide Detail,
under Inspector Alfred Corrasa, of the San Francisco

and full Colonel. He served here until 1944 when he was
sent to the South Pacific, where he served with distinction
on Guadalcanal, the Philippines and Japan.
His determination to re-enlist in the U. S. Army was
brought about by his being selected as a candidate to the
Command and General Staff School in Ft. Leavenworth,
Kansas. Here he will take a ten months course, and as only
men with a record of attainment and ability are selected
for this choice assignment he will get a training that will
lead to even a higher place in the Army.
Colonel Penaat wears many medals, but he is most
proud of his Distinguished Service Medal.
He is married and his wife leaves with him for his new
post and he hopes to return to San Francisco when he is
through with his ten months of intensive training and
schooling.

Police Department on August 9, handed in his resignation
and re-enlisted in the Army.
When he quit the military forces January 7, he had
the rank of a full colonel, the highest rank any of the
more than 200 members of the local Department achieved
during World War II. He figured he would go back to
his police job, which he started in December 1938, after
his graduation from the University of California and
Hastings Law College. As a police officer he was a great
success, and filled many important assignments. Then
came the rumblings of another world war. He joined up
on January 6, 1941, and was given the rank of Captain,
a post he held as a member of the Reserves. He was
assigned Provost Marshal, Port of Embarkation, in San
Francisco and so well were his duties performed that he
advanced through the ranks of Major, Lieutenant Colonel ^

Automobile Thefts in San Francisco
The end of the war during the year 1945, with the
hfting of gasoline rationing, freeing thousands of auto-
mobiles on the road, and with the purchase of new or
even good second hand autos a hard task, the small class
of drivers who have not cars and get one by "sneezing"
Inspector William Gilmore
Has served 35 years with S.F.P.D.
a "heap" whose owner had left it in a manner assuring
access to the larcenous, have been out in force.
Throughout the state and the nation the report of stolen
autos has shown a great increase. San Francisco is no ex-
ception, for it has had its share of illegally taken cars.
During the year ending June 30 there were reported
stolen in San Francisco 4777 cars. But with a short staff,
and faced with losing experienced and efficient members
of his Auto Theft Detail, Inspector William Gillmore,
who has headed that unit of the San Francisco Police De-
partment for 1 5 years, and been a member of the Detail
since April 11, 1920, when he was assigned as clerk to
serve under the late Inspector Arthur McQuade, has
maintained the splendid record built up throughout the
years for recovering snatched cars. Less than 35 cars re-
mained last month unrecovered. The boys on the Detail
got back 306 autos stolen outside the city and brought
here. They had 606 cars stolen in San Francisco recovered
in outside localities.
Since the start of the last year Inspector Gillmore has
lost four key men who had years of service on the Auto
Detail and were specialists in spotting the numbers of a
car that speeded by, and could instantly peg it as a stolen
"heap." This quartet, three who have gone out on pension.
are Inspector Rasmus Rasmussen, who now heads the
policing of the Union Square Garage which is kept full
to its 6000 car capacity, and offers attraction of those of
envious larcenous inclinations;
Inspector Paul Badaracco, whose years of service has
been featured by recovery of many stolen cars and the
capture of many car thieves, who now is in business in
the North Beach sector;
Inspector Phillip Lindecker, of which there never was
a more courageous or fearless law enforcement officer,
nor a more able one, who is getting along well in the
building business.
Inspector Cornelicus Desmond, who has many out-
standing years of service on the Detail, has been assigned
to the Federal Detail.
At the time the report on the year 1945, the following
cars were stolen in San Francisco and the recoveries stated
as they occurred each month. Since January 1, 1946, sev-
eral of these unrecovered cars have been located:

CHECK MAIL ORDER INSURANCE
A flood ot literature is being sent to San Franeiscans hy
out-of-state mail-order insurance companies who cannot
or will not comply with California's insurance laws, the
Better Business Bureau revealed recently.
■'Many persons here are paying premiums to some of
these concerns, unaware that the benefits to which they
are entitled are exceedingly limited," Muriel Tsvetkoff,
Manager of the Bureau warned. She urged policyholders
to get out their policies and study them carefully, now,
instead of waiting until an emergency arises.
Typical of the complaints registered with the Better
Business Bureau is that of a man who filed a claim for
$2500 when his brother was accidentally killed here re-
cently. Instead of $2iOO he received $iO as payment in
full. Careful reading of the policy indicated that the
$2 500 sum, prominently featured in the concern's litera-
ture, was payable only if death occurred while the insured
was riding as a fare-paying passenger on a railroad, street
car or steamship. More common accidental deaths fell
within the $50 category. This insured had paid premiums
on the policy for a number of years in the belief that
his beneficiary would receive $2500, regardless of the
cause of death.
The Bureau advised prospective policyholders to:
1. Ascertain whether or not the company is licensed
in California.
2. Read a sample policy BEFORE paying a premium.
If it is not understood, consult a reputable insurance
broker or the Better Business Bureau.
3. Request a free copy of the Bureau's booklet,
"FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT INSUR-
ANCE."
GENERAL ORDER No. 86
f Continued from Page 20 j
investigation would demand the exclusion of all persons.
In fact, rule 408 of the Police Manual, makes it man-
datory that in cases of homicide all persons except members
of the department and deputies of the Coroner's Office
shall be prevented from entering the scene until a member
of the Bureau of Inspectors arrives and takes charge. This
rule demands the exclusion of newspaper men, including
newspaper photographers, from the scene until a member
of the Bureau of Inspectors arrives and takes charge.
It may also be well that, in other police investigations
where photographic evidence of the scene must be pre-
served, a police officer would be justified in excluding a
newspaper photographer until the necessary photographs
have been taken by the police. In this respect, the proce-
dure is excellently stated in rule 473 of the Police Manual.
This rule, if followed, will prove highly satisfactory and
specific stress should be laid on the last sentence in said
rule, which states that "all information proper under the
rules shall be given to newspaper representatives promptly,
clearly, and courteously."
You will sec that the provisions of this order are ef-
fectively observed and carried out in the future by the
members of your respective commands.

Pistol Tournament of 1946 Big Success
The Far Western Regional and Pacific States Champion
Pistol Tournament, held last month was a howling success
and was featured by some almost fantastic scores, showing
how sincerely the 247 shooters had prepared for this
master event on the San Francisco Police Department
ultra modern Pistol Range on the shores of Lake Merced.
With Mayor Roger D. Lapham, Police Commissioners
Jerd Sullivan, J. Wesley Howell and E. L. Turkington,
Chief Charles W. Dullea, and Deputy Chief Michael
Riordan on hand to start the many matches which fol-
lowed, the tournament got off to a flying start. The
weather was overcast but was excellent for the participants
of the various events.
The tournament brought out a registration of 247
shooters who averaged 130 competitors in the 4^ matches
and an average of 206 in the 22 and 38 National Matches.
There were 27 teams entered in the 22 National and 38
National Matches and 34 teams in the Camp Perry Match.
In fact there were teams from all over this section of the
country scrapping for first place. The Hawaiian team
must have thought they would miss out so they landed
here two weeks ahead of time. One thing was very ap-
parent and that was the high scores turned in — holy smoke
what scores. Just glance through the pages of this schedule
and see for yourself.
Jacob Engbrecht of the Los Angeles Police Department
came out as the state champion. With a score of 2547.
He won the highly prized CaI(-BuJ!etm trophy.
Basil Starkey, also of the Los Angeles Police Depart-
ment, came out as Western Regional Champion with a
score of 1723.
Range Master Emil J. Dutil, Sergeant Ray Harrison,
Chief Range Ofiicer, and his assistants, Edward Franke,
Harvey Shadle, Karl Schaugaard, Harold Reyonld; Statis-
tical Officers Arthur Markgraf and Edward Woods;
Scorers Otto Dietschy, Weston Williamson and August
Palmieri; and Pit Ofiicer Frank Dunphy won high praise
for the care they took to see that the contestants were
given every courtesy and attention. Each of the sub of-
ficials had trained and able assistants who contributed
their share of making the tournament the big success
it turned out to be.
J. Ross Dunnigan, in his written report of the tourna-
ment, summed up our sentiments better than we would
ever be able to do with the following observation:
Our sincerest congratulations to the winners and medal-
ists for we know that this well-run tournament has re-
flected the highest credit to San Francisco in the pistol
shooters' world and to the men of the San Francisco
Police Department who spent so many days in perfecting
Pho

the range and its operation. We feel that all who made
the journey here from their native cities and states were
well repaid for the hospitality our city affords to its
visitors and found that San Francisco is not such a bad
place after all. We eagerly look forward to the day when
we again can be the host to the finest bunch of pistoleers
you will find anywhere, so until next year — good shooting,
amigos.

conditions. The size of the purse and the social standing
of the party makes not an iota of difference.
Once one sits at the wheel of the steel monster, and
presses the pulse of the doughty juggernaught, the Jekyl-
Hyde quality takes control. The past of that person is no
guaranty of the present or the future. When seated at
a wheel, education, refinement, the best hereditary back-
ground count for nothing.
Some wag has said: "One touch of gasoline makes the
whole world spin". He did not tell the half of it. A book
could he written on what direful effects the gasoline-
automobile combination has done, and is doing.
Tolerance and all its kindred virtues are set aside the
moment a person becomes a driver.
Why do drivers of automobiles become overbearing,
disdainful, unfair, and act as if it were a crime to be a
pedestrian?
Why do they seem to have the motto that "Speed and
Power Make Right"?
I never did have any use for ill-mannered persons. I
was brought up with the idea that this world should be
run by fair play rules. Gentleness and kindness, I was
told in my earliest years, were two virtues for which we
would surely be rewarded even in this world.
Now, I am not going to do any preaching. I refrain
from doing preaching in this present instance because I
am just an ordinary private soldier in that great army of
gaso-maniacs. Generally, I have my temper well in hand,
and I am not ashamed to say I would surely fail to win
a prize in a profanity contest.
Having put myself on the same level as the class I am
addressing, I guess it is all right for me to say that I am
just as good as any of my fellow students in the matter
of believing that great fundamental rule of the autoist:
"I am always right; the other fellow is always wrong."
But when I drive a car — what then?
The people I meet, the ones I flash past — are all wrong.
They don't do a single thing right. Truck drivers, delivery
wagon drivers, lady drivers — are all crazy, negligent to the

point of criminality, and utterly dumb. I frantically try
to hiss my disapproval of each and all of them; and
pantomime my idea of all such, when it is impossible
to bawl them out viva voce.
Of course, all pedestrians are just as much ignorant,
wayward nuisances.
I brook no delay. I'm just on my way; and I want no-
body and nothing to disturb the flying tenor of that way.
But they will!
Profanity follows as a natural course.
But here is a funny phase of the case: Us gaso-maniacs
do not upbraid doctors, dentists, theatre managers, ship
captains, steam railroad conductors, when we are occa-
sionally caused to wait quite a long time until business
permits our being waited on, or the resumption of our
journey.
No, gaso-mania is noticeable only when we are at the
wheel.
Give the average man any kind of a contraption that
is run by gasoline, and can drag its driver with it, and he
is off; it matters not where. He just wants to be a sleight-
of-hand man. He wants to disappear. A lot of other
fellows in their juggernaughts want to disappear at the
same time and in the same direction. Gaso-mania makes
them all want to disappear from each other. That is what
makes the speed bug submerge every feeling worth while.
That is what makes motor intolerance a national char-
acteristic.
Why, a man being transferred in an ambulance is liable
to have two broken legs when he arrives at the hospital,
instead of the one he had when the ambulance driver so
carefully lifted him into the comfortable chariot!
It is in their blood, too. The ambulance drivers have
got the same motto as the rest of the army of gaso-
maniacs :
"Don't stop until you can see the whites of their eyes."
Very little can be said in favor of the above speed
motto. Of course, it does insinuate that you do stop when
you see the white of the victim's eyes. But that is gener-
ally just a fraction of a second too late.
The pedestrian is up against tough luck. He has no
quick pickup. He certainly has no brakes. Besides, he is
in a kind of a comatose condition in comparison with the
fevered mental activity of the charioteer who has suddenly
swooped right up to him from nowhere. Also, he has
absolutely no rights! He has violated the heaven-born
privilege of Mr. Speediac, who had to slow down a quar-

tcr of a mile an hour, rather than have his headlights and
radiator injured by letting Mr. Blankety Blank Pedestrian
have what was coming to him.
These are sad days for pedestrians. Years ago, in Sun-
day-school, I heard the expression, "The quick and the
dead". Whatever divine wrote those words was some-
what in the nature of a prophet. I feel like making a pun
on that expression now. The quick are those who can
dodge the autos; the dead those who were too slow.
In this game of "Going Places", per flying auto, the
rule seems to be that the race is to the speediest and
strongest. Thus, the rapid commercial busses, the high-
powered high-speed trucks, the high-priced limousines
and the rakish speedsters whizz by the cheap little cars
as if they barely tolerated them.
How the little fellows shrink almost off the road to the
grinning delight of the bunch with speed and power flit-
ting by. That is about the only time you can notice a
trace of a smile on a speed-mad driver's face. By the time
the little fellow has recovered from his plight, and got
his pokey tin can once more running in its allotted space
by the curb, he has not had time to see the cause of his
near-accident. He eases his mind by doing a little quiet
cussing, mentally or actually.
I know he does this, because I have driven all brands
of cars — positive, comparative and superlative. I have had
my little tin can nearly vacuum cleaned by the passing big
fellows; and I know what I said.
I might as well tell you what I longed for more than
anything in the world on those occasions. It was an all-
steel car with a steel verandah running around all four
sides of it. The said verandah would be in the nature of a
90-pound steel railroad track, sharpened on the outside
to a razor sharpness, so that I could rush full force against
Rolls-Royces, trucks, and deluxe busses. I would just cut
the tires clean from under those road barons, and then
laugh at the bewildered drivers. Yes, I would laugh the
cackling laugh of a gaso-maniac. Now, that I am in the
big class, I do not long so much for an all-steel wrecking
car.

F. B. I. Academy Graduates Welcome
Two New Members
The California chapter of National Association of Fed-

Thursday evening, August 8. The meeting was featured
by a banquet at 5 33 Kirkland street and the welcoming

POLICE COMMUNICATION OFFICERS
ASSOCIATION
J. D. HOSSACK, President
R. E. Moore, Secretar>i-Treasurer
The Northern Cahfornia Pohce Communication Offi-
cers Association held their regular monthly meeting in
San Mateo County on July 11, at the H and H ranch
with Walt Harrington as host. The minutes were read
and approved.
Subsequent to the meeting the chairman of the Code
Committee reported that the 900 series code had been
increased to add 965 — Call physician, and 966 — Call
coroner, in response to a request by Mansfield Lewis at the
San Francisco meeting.
During the past month the frequency committee met on
point to point service and George Burton reported on the
progress made at this meeting. All members of the com-
mittee agreed as to the necessity of ponit to point service
and emphasized the big help that such service would bring
to cities not having medium frequency equipment and re-
moves the isolation of many cities by bringing them into
the point to point network as participating stations. The
committee has devised a form letter which will be sub-
mitted by the law enforcement agency when making appli-
cation to the FCC for station license. The letter sets forth
the purpose of the network, the plan to be followed and
the responsibility of control of traffic on the net since
operation will be handled through a repeater on Mt. Diablo
in most cases. George Burton of the Martinez Sheriffs
Office will monitor the channel to insure correct opera-
tion by all stations. It is planned to use selective calling
with the NCPCOA making the assignments. The receivers
in use are to be designed to disable the transmitter when
the circuit is in use to avoid unnecessary interference. The
big problem anticipated is that of judicious use of the
circuit to permit all traffic to be handled without the sem-
blance of hogging the circuit to the exclusion of others.
In connection with this point to point circuit, Brower
McMurphy has sent an inquiry to the FCC regarding
frequencies requested.
A request from the California Highway Patrol, Sacra-
mento and a similar request from the California Highway
Patrol, Bay Bridge for the use of 1690 kcs was submitted
to the frequency committee for recommendation. Acting
on the approval of this committee, the membership granted
clearance for these two requests.
A letter was read from the California Highway Patrol
Sacramento requesting approval of certain frequencies in
the 72-76mc band for repeater use and stipulated that
steps would be taken to aleviate any interference which
might be caused by the use of these frequencies if ap-
proved. These conditions were approved by the frequency
committee and clearance granted by vote of the member-
ship present. A request was received from the City of
San Jose for a mobile frequency in the 110 mc band and
a repeater frequency in the 70 mc band. Upon recommen-
dation of the frequency committee, clearance was granted
for the use of 15 5.130 mc and 73.14 mc respectively.
George Burton presented a form to be used for appli-
cation for frequency clearance by new cities. The form
was submitted in the rough and after discussion, George
will make the smooth forms for distribution to interested
activities. George Burton also reported on the plans for the
party to be held on the annual ladies night and said that
door prizes of nylons and other things would be there
for all. The local jobbers and radio organizations were
donating many nice gifts for the occasion.
Mott Brunton of LINK and Burt Fielding of MOTOR-
OLA made cash donations and the members contributed
towards a gift to be presented to Brower McMurphy in
honor of his many and fine services to the organization
since its inception.
The application for membership of Captain William
Gilmore of the San Francisco Fire Department was read
and approved by the executive committee. Captain Gil-
more was elected to membership by unanimous vote of the
members.
Luncheon was held at 1 :00 P. M, and after enjoying
an excellent meal, the members and guests were introduced.
Ed Maeshner is still running tests on 150 mc in the
Berkeley area. Chief Wheeler of San Carlos was pre-
sented by Walt Harrington and expressed his pleasure of
having the meeting in his area.
Jack Maxwell and Burt Fielding gave further informa-
tion on wheel traffic problems encountered by them in the
field, Mott Brunton also described a new type of genera'

In the absence of Chief Don Wood, the usual humorous
technical discussion was carried on by Mansfield Lewis
with much acclaim. Lewis also covered some of the points
of interest covered by the last visit of the FCC Inspector
to his station. After choosing Santa Cruz for the next
meeting place, the meeting was adjourned.

SALINAS POLICE DEPARTMENT
(Continued from Page li)
rapid growth of communities lying just outside and con-
necting with Sahnas, the department has grown from 12 in
1931 to its present strength of 27. This figure includes a
police woman and two stenographer clerks.
Chief Weight plans to add three more men, bringing
the total to 30. Two of the new men will be used to en'
force parking meters and one to cover the increased busi-
ness district which is now expanding well out from the
center of the city.
The department maintains three two-way radio cars
and four motorcycles, one three wheel and three solo,
equipped with one-way radio. The department also has a
patrol wagon. The department is served by the sheriff's
radio station, KQCO.
The department does not have much of a juvenile
problem. An 1 1 o'clock curfew is strictly enforced. "The
young people didn't like the curfew much at first," Chief
Weight says, but after I appeared at the high school
assemblies and explained the reason behind it the depart-
ment received wholehearted cooperation.
"We try to be fair with the kids and the department
does not go out of its way to pick on them. We never
talk down to them and when any of the department ad-
dresses a high school group he speaks frankly, sparing no
punches in discussion of venereal diseases."
All these factors contribute to the extremely low crime
rate for the city. There are no unsolved murders on the

record, in fact it has been several years since a murder
occurred inside the city hmits. The percentage of robbery
has declined as has the burglary rate.
The Chief notes an increase in the activity of criminals
in line with the forecast of a post war crime wave. The
department here is picking up an increasing number of
criminals who are wanted in other cities.
The department maintains a complete and accurate file
with each card carrying information for both state and
Federal agencies. Chief Weight has done much to keep
files modern and efficient.
Chief Weight, a quiet pipe-smoking officer, has the
type of background that makes a good administrator. Be-
fore he entered police work at Pacific Grove in 1928 he
had experience in surveying and engineering. He is a
fingerprint expert and has a wide knowledge of photog-
raphy. He takes most of the pictures required by the
department but has seen to it that his men get training in
this important phase of police work.
Traffic safety ranks high on the department's agenda.
One police car is equipped for broadcasting and during
traffic rush hours the car is on the job with a traffic officer
warning pedestrians and motorists alike over the speaker
system. Considering that Salinas is rated a city of 30,000
insofar as traffic is concerned the street fatality record is
low. Only two deaths were recorded in 1945 and only one
has been reported this year. In each of the cases the victim
was a pedestrian. During 1941, '42, '43, and '44, the city
had a record free of any fatalities.
The department is looking ahead. A new city jail,
quarters for the police department and a courtroom and
office for the police judge are in the cards. The city coun-
cil has seen the need for housing the expanding depart-
ment and such a step is not far in the future.
Chief Weight has surrounded himself with an efficient
staff. Captain Ray Mclntyre is an experienced officer who
rejoined the department after a tour of duty with the
armed forces. Three lieutenants, J. C. Yetter, Eldon
Fowles, and M. E. Roberts are all capable, experienced
officers. The department has two desk sergeants. Dean
Seefeldt and Herb Lasserot, and Chief Weight plans to
name a third. Jack Wright is traffic sergeant in charge of
the motorcycle group.
Traffic officers are Ray Waters, Wm, McLaughlin,
William Barr and Claude Yetter. Patrolmen are Earl

has taken the lead in launching the Boys' Cluh, where
members iind a second home and plenty of activities to
keep them occupied especially during the summer months
when school is closed.
A big, genial and handsome man, Chief Moore is the
confidant and friend of these boys, who return his friend'
ship by helping to keep crime at a minimum in the Mon-
terey area. In this way, the police problem becomes not so
much a matter of catching law breakers but raising future
citizens in a law-abiding manner. At least this is the
long-range program, and it already is bearing fruit.
It was in 1944, when the war accentuated the youth
problem throughout the nation, that Chief Moore and
several prominent local civic leaders formed the Boys'
Club. It was Monterey's answer to the problem of teen-
agers too young to join the Armed Forces but old enough
to feel they were "forgotten" and of no importance to the
war etfort or to their own community. They were roam-
ing the streets, collecting in gangs and heading for trouble.
Once the Club was formed, work went forward — mainly
by the boys themselves. An old adobe, centrally located,
was leased for them by the city, and many items of furni-
ture were donated by civic organizations. Pool tables,
books, a piano, jukebox, radio, games and a "coke" bar
were provided. The Club had its grand opening June
2, 1944.
Only requirements were an age limit of from 13 to 18
years, parental permission, and an application blank
signed by five of the adult directors. There was no mem-
bership fee and no racial or social qualifications. The boys
elect their own officers to keep activities moving.
Average attendance has been 1500 boys a month, and
the members not only put on their own radio program
on the local station, compete with baseball, bowling and
other teams, but also take part in community projects.
Notable example of this came during the recent Centen-
nial celebration in Monterey, when the Boys' Club pitched
in and helped clean up the town by clearing sidewalks,
vacant lots and trash heaps.
With this successful club organised, the entire com-
munity backing it, the boys themselves enthusiastically

POLICE AND PEACE OFFICERS" JOURNAL
September, 1946
joining in its program, juvenile crime almost obliterated,
and such outfits as the FBI taking it up, it is small wonder
that Chief Moore is eager to talk about the Monterey
Boys' Club rather than about himself.
But it should be recorded that he joined the force July
1, 1929 and was appointed Chief of Police three years
later. He is a member of the International Association of
Chiefs of Police and State Peace Officers' Association, but
he prefers his title of President of the Monterey Boys'
Club.
And it should be remembered that during the war years
Chief Mcxire's efforts were particularly valuable in taking
care of the many problems of law enforcement that attend
the transformation of a rather sleepy little town into a
beehive of military activity. For Monterey found itself
suddenly the center of crowds of servicemen from nearby
Fort Ord and Del Monte Naval Training School. Thou'
sands of military families overcrowded the housing and
recreational facilities of the community, and the job of
keeping order was multiplied.
His police force was at the same time curtailed in man-
power, although at present he has two commissioned offi-
cers and 14 other members.
His staff — the police officers who have helped him
achieve the enviable record held by Monterey — are the
following men, listed in order of the seniority with their
training indicated:
Police Officer Joseph Duckworth — FBI local and re-
gional conferences, Monterey police training school, voca-
tional fingerprinting.
Captain of Police Albert Elasho, chief investigator —
FBI conferences, Monterey police school, vocational finger-
printing, FBI seminar on safecracking protection.
Lieutenant of Police Frank Marinello, in charge of
night patrol — FBI conferences, Monterey police school.
Police Officer Clyde Klaumann — FBI conferences, voca-
tional fingerprinting, shore patrol in the Navy, at present
attending FBI national police academy at Washington,
D. C.

tary police training, vocational fingerprinting.

— FBI conferences, military police training, vocational
fingerprinting.

OAKLAND POLICE FLYING SQUADRON
(Continued from Page 1 )
Robert Phillips, 1st Lieutenant, is 25 years old, having
enlisted January 29,1942. Lieutenant Phillips flew a glider
into Holland on September 17, 1944 and then across the
Rhine on March 25,1945. His overseas duties also found
him flying combat cargo for General Patton.
Victor Lagerson, Captain, Army Air Corps, 28 years
old, enlisted in August, 1941 and left for overseas for
combat duty in September, 1943. He flew 66 combat mis-
sions for the 386 Bomb Group of the 9th Air Force over
Western Europe, Holland, France, Belgium, Germany.
Returning to the United States in 1944, he was assigned
to ferry division of the Air Transport Command at Mem-
phis, Tennessee and flew lighters and bombers to Panama,
Brazil, North Africa, England, France, Italy, Egypt, India,
and Burma. Three times he had to make emergency land-
ings, one in France, two in England, forced down by flak
and flyers. He has 2000 flying hours to his credit.
Harry Jones, 29, 1st. Lieutenant, entered the infantry
division in January 1941, transferred to the air corps, ap-
pointed Statf Sergeant and later advanced to a 1st. Lieu-
tenancy. He, too, went overseas, assigned to the China-
Burma area and flew 70 round trips over the Hump. He
was awarded the Air Medal with oak leaf cluster, received
the presidential citation and battle ribbons as well as the
Distinguished Flying Cross with oak leaf cluster. He boasts
two battle stars as well. His flying time is 1800 hours plus.
Martin Nissen enlisted in October 1941 at Monterey,
California and as an aeroplane mechanic soon became a
technical sergeant. He was sent overseas, serving with the
8th Air Force. He was shot down in action over Czecho-
slovakia in February, 1944, was wounded by flak, spend-
ing 18 months in a hospital. Then he was taken prisoner
on February 4,1944 and sent to Staliag Luft No. 6 prison
camp. He became an exchange prisoner in September 1945,

returning to the United States to be discharged February
23, 1945. He too is a wearer of the Purple Heart and
carries other medals as reward for his contribution to
the winning of the war.
Owners of the five planes at the disposal of the Oakland
Police Department are Sergeant Eddie Ray, Sergeant
Eddie Thompson, Kenneth Robertson, Gene Engstrom,
Howard Fellows, Paul Korach.
The planes are equipped with 2 -way radio sets con-
verted from the original military 2-way sending and re-
ceiving sets. The conversion puts the "eyes of the Police
Department" in constant contact with station KALT.
In addition they are completely equipped with landing
lights, red lights, all the original instruments on the panel,
gyro compasses.
Chief of Police Tracy pointing out some of the ways
which the Aerial Patrol can serve the Department reveals:
That recently a flight was made to Missoula, Montana,
for police investigation purposes. The flight was made in
five hours and 40 minutes from the takeoff at Oakland
Airport to Missoula.
That they are being used for aerial photographic work
as part of a long-range program to solve traffic jams.
That they will prove invaluable in spotting autos used
in major crimes, permitting instant blockade by ground
officers who are in touch via the 2-way radio with the
police pilots.
That they can be used for delivery of serums to distant
points where other means of transport are too slow or
where the serum must be dropped in almost inaccessible
places.
Further in searching for lost persons in the hill districts.
Spotting fires and directing firefighters to the spot.
In running down kidnappers.
Aid in enforcing the CAA rules over Oakland such as
low fiying and "buzzing" over homes and co-operate
with the CAA in other respects.
"In fact," says Chief Tracy," this fleet of speedy planes
can be of incalcuable value during any kind of emergency
for any type of police surveillance where time is of the
essence. We are proud of our Aerial Police Patrol Squad-
ron and grateful for the war veterans who made this
equipment available to the department."
No wonder the Oakland Police Department has again
become the talk of the nation.

possible protection and order consistent with personal lib

must be given to the popular attitude that the more direct
control the citizens have over their peace officers, the less
tyranny is likely.
Stop-gap methods and voluntary c(x>peration gradually
have brought about a general awareness of a need for a
framework to serve as an adjunct to related interests and
responsibilities and to fill a gap in the organizational pat-

might be involved. The results of many useful experiments

were available. In 1954, by constitutional amendment, one
of the first positive steps was taken toward coordination of
the activities of those engaged in enforcement of the law.
". . . the Attorney General shall be the chief law officer
of the state and it shall be his duty to see that the laws
of the State of California are uniformly and adequately
enforced in every county of the state. We shall have direct
supervision over every district attorney and sheriff and
over such other law enforcement officers as may be desig-
nated by law ..."
In California, a program is under way which is de-
signed to maintain local autonomy while giving appropri-
ate attention to training needs, the establishment of
uniform policies, and assistance in preparation for emerg-
encies.
In the spring of 1943, under authority of the War
Powers Act, a Law Enforcement Advisory Committee was
appointed by the Governor. Its membership was selected
from recommendations submitted by the California State
Peace Officers' Association, the Sheriffs' Association, the
District Attorneys'Association, and the Justices' and Con-
stables' Association of the State of California. Originally
there were three district attorneys, three sheriffs, three
from the Justices'and Constables' Association, and three
Chiefs of Police, making a total of twelve committee mem-
bers. Subsequently, one more Sheriff and more Chief of
Police were appointed, bringing the membership to four-
teen.
At the organizational meeting, it was recognized that
one of the weak spots in our law enforcement structure
is the lack of uniformity in securing or dispatching aid in
cases of emergency. Consequently, a subcommittee was
appointed to prepare a mutual aid plan. The plan provides
that it may be adopted by any county or by any city by
resolution of its legislative body. In the event of the dec-
laration of a state of extreme emergency by the Governor,
it automatically becomes effective.
The plan is an agreement among cities and counties and
the State of California to render aid in case of disaster,
or in any emergency when the forces at the disposal of
the duly constituted authority (Chief of Police or Sheriff)
are insufficient or inadequate. No Chief of Police or Sher-
iff is required to deplete his force below the point of safety.

and he determines that point, in rendering mutual aid.
A state law enforcement coordinator, responsible for
the administration of the plan, has been appointed and
serves in the State Department of Justice.
Of the fifty-eight counties in the state, 47 have formally
adopted the mutual aid plan. 188 cities have taken similar
action. A few county coordinators have been elected but
only in the 9 Bay Counties has a zone coordinator been
selected.
Tentative approaches have from time to time been made
by the state and private institutions toward training peace
officers. Pre-employment framing in practical police work
in progress at San Jose State College was interrupted by
the war but will he re-instituted under Willard Schmidt
during the coming year and it is anticipated that this
police school will be re-established on a much larger scale
than before the war.
Prior to the war, two-week Institutes were held at San
Jose State College, and at the University of California at
Berkeley, and at Los Angeles. These short courses were
highly successful and were developed for the training of
peace officers already employed.
The State Department of Education trained many peace
officers as instructors and, through their use, zone schools
were maintained for a time throughout the state. This
program will be reestablished now that John Peper of the
Berkeley department has been appointed Supervisor of
Peace Officer Training.
Splendid schools of instruction have, of course, been
conducted throughout the state by agents of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, and many peace officers have
been trained in the National Police Academy.
Training solves or eliminates many of the problems of
administration. To be effective, however, it must be ac-
cepted as a normal and constant attribute of police work.
Selection, distribution, discipline, maintenance of records,
and even the formulation of policies are simplified because
of broader familiarity and understanding, and become
much easier processes.
It is not inconsistent, even when fully weighing prej-
udice against centralized administration, to consider the
responsibilities of the state in its over-all capacity as
against those of localities in regard to the public welfare

from a law enforcement standpoint. The years of experi-
mentation have shown the good and bad sides of both, and
further have shown the interlocking problems which make
necessary or simplify local administration when pro-
grammed on an over-all basis. Thus, it seems that training,
maintaining policies conforming to the public welfare, and
providing for emergencies which affect more than one
locality are too broad and too important to require that
each community plan, approve, and administer its own
system. Local efforts must be implemented by state aid.
It is too much to expect that some Police Chief or Sheriff
or District Attorney will always be able to stand alone
against organized opposition, that they will have facilities
for handling all these problems without assistance. By and
large, police officers have done a splendid job over a period
of many years. When we consider the adverse factors over
which they have no control, their accomplishments in pro-
tecting their people are admirable. The solution seems to
lie in assigning to the state that which cannot be done
well locally, and to the city or county that which falls
within its province and which it is able and equipped to
do.

BAY COUNTIES PEACE OFFICERS
(Co7itiriiie(i from Page 10)
took their seats at the tables, set up with relishes, bread
and plenty of BUTTER, members of the three Police
Departments interested as hosts, passed out the steaks,
chill beans and potato salad. Though the turnout was a
big one it did not catch Chief O'Brien and Captain
O'Connors unaware, for there was plenty of steaks and
beans for a second helping for those that wanted a sec-
ond helping.
A sound truck furnished musical numbers during the
luncheon.
After all had been duly seated President Jack Gleason,
Sheriff of Alameda County, called the meeting to order.
He called upon Chief O'Brien to introduce officials of
his city, and Chief O'Brien stated he was very happy to
be the one to entertain at this meeting and said that
the success of the event was equally shared between
himself and Chief Wisnom and Chief Theurer. He in-
troduced a number of prominent people from San Mateo
headed by Mayor Richard McAllister, Superior Judge
Scott, Phil Pope, president of San Mateo's Rotary Club,
who joined with Chief O'Brien to hold their weekly
meeting. Over 5 0 members of the club were on hand.
Chief Wisnom, Hillsborough, followed and presented
City Manager Earl Wilsey.
Chief Theuer presented Councilman Peter Dahl, Cap-
tain John J. Hartnett and several others.
Sheriff Gleason called on Secretary McDonald to report
on the progress that has been made with the Motor Ve-
hicle Department regarding the registering of engine
numbers on automobiles. Captain McDonald said the
numbers will be registered as desired by Association.
President Gleason said that Chief James Drew of the
State Peace Officers Association has announced that the
annual meeting of that organization will be held on Oc-
tober 21, 22, 23 and 24 in San Diego and that the Inter-
national Asscxiation of Chiefs of Police will be held in
Mexico City, September 23, 24, and 25.
The president said that Chief Dierking, who was unable
to leave Vallejo for the meeting, had advanced the idea
of members of the State Association from this end of the
state arrange for special train cars to take them south.
This idea met with considerable favor and such a plan
may be worked out.
Among those called on to take a bow by President
Gleason was Dr. Stanley of San Quentin, former San
Francisco undersheriff Jack Spaulding, District Attorney
Fred Howser of Los Angeles, Former Chief William
Quinn, recently granted terminal leave from his duties as
chief security officer for the U. S. Navy on Treasure
Island.
He then presented Attorney General Robert Kenny, the
speaker of the day. The speech will be found on another
page of this edition of the JoURN.^L.
Vice President Mclvin Flohr of Santa Rosa invited
the members of the association to hold their next meeting
in his city and the invitation was unanimously accepted.

PRAISE LETTER TO CHIEF DULLEA
"I want to thank you personally, and for the Jewish
Welfare Fund, for your very kind cooperation in making
available the large detail of police officers Tuesday Eve-
ning, March 26th. They did a splendid and efficient job
of handling the capacity crowds at both Temple Emanu'
El and Congregation Sherith Israel. Your men played an
important part in making Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt's
presence in San Francisco, under our Welfare Fund aus-
pices, the success that it was. We are deeply appreciative
of the courtesies which you and your department extended.
Walter A. H.aas, President,
Jewish Welfare Fund of San Francisco."

First Public Traffic Check Report
Two out of every six vehicles examined by the poHce of
16 United States and Canada during the first three weeks
f the Police Traffic Safety Check Program failed to meet
linimum safety standards.
The report was issued by the Traffic Division of the In-
:rnational Association of Chiefs of Police which is direct-
ig the program in 48 states, the District of Columbia, nine
Canadian provinces and in Honolulu. Police departments
1 nearly every municipality, as well as sheriff and state
olice departments, are checking brakes, tires, lights, wind-
lield wipers, horns and other mechanical items as a means
f curbing certain types of traffic accidents. The nation's
olice are aided in their program by approximately 2iO
ipporting agencies.
■".•\ total of 924,509 vehicles were checked between
l,i\ 15 and June 9,"" according to Robert E. Raleigh,
isociate director of the Traffic Division of the lACP and
ircctor of the Safety Check Program. "Of these, 302,892.
r ."0.8 per cent, were being operated with obvious and
.uii;crous mechanical defects. The figures are based on
artial returns from 40 states, the District of Columbia
nd nine Canadian Provinces."
In the United States 869,776 vehicles were checked. Of
nese, 28 J, 62 3, or 32.6 per cent, were found in defective
ondition. Canadian police checked 54,733 vehicles of
.hich 19.269, or 3>.2 per cent, were defective.

"The other night a police officer. No. 68^, did such a
kind act for me that I have the desire to tell you about it.
He took the trouble to wake me and tell me that the
lights were left on in the car, and then asked for the key
and attended to turning them off, thus saving the battery.
I think these acts of human kindness and thoughtful ness
should be commended on the force and I'm sure make for a
better behaved public than where violence is used.

Wire Ahead
/or
Modern Living
Your home will be ready to "take delivery"
and connect the many mechanical servants
you plan to buy if that home has "Certified
Adequate Wiring." When you see the
"Adequate Wiring" symbol on a home being
built or remodeled, it means plenty of circuits
of large enough wire, plenty of outlets and
switches for a lifetime of modern electrical
service.
Too often, house wiring is designed for
lighting alone so that lights blink when the
refrigerator motor comes on or the washing
machine or iron is being used. That means
voltage has dropped and the lights and ap-
pliances on that circuit must work harder
and longer.
Prepare your home for the future, wire
ahead. Insist on Certified Adequate Wiring

CHARTER AMENDMENT No. 4
Which proposes to give a 15 per cent increase to members of the Police and Fire Deport-
ments of Son Francisco, and to establish a 44-hour work week for Policemen and a 61 -hour
week for Firemen.
With these two important branches your municipal government losing men by retirement
and finding it difficult to attract young men qualified to fill these vacancies because of the
short pay and long hours, the passage of No. 4 will be a great help in getting intelligent
and ambitious men to join either the Fire Department or the Police Department. It will
also serve to make present members able to meet the rising cost of all necessary
essentials.
More and more leading civic, labor, business, industrial and fraternal organizations are
giving their support to Amendment No. 4.
Mayor Roger D. Lopham, the Fire and Police Commissions have heartily endorsed this
Amendment.

POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS PAY
RAISE AMENDMENT
On the November 5 ballot will be a San Francisco
charter amendment designated as No. 4. This amendment
should get as big a vote as one put on a year ago on a
point amendment by the Fire and Police Departments.
It provides an increase of pay for the Fire and Police
Department of H per cent and fixes the hours at 61 hours
Lieutenant James Quigley
Cu-Chairman of Campaign Committee for Pay AmencJmcnt
a week for the former and for the police a 44-hour week.
Fire and PoHce are the essential emergency services upon
which the safety and welfare of a community rests. We
can put-off going to the dentist, we can if necessary
forego shortages of food and clothing, we have even
endured breakdowns in our utilities but when we are in
need of Fire or Police protection we cannot wait, else all
may be irretrievably lost.
The importance of these services have created a public
demand that they be adequately staffed by a strong active
personnel whose integrity is beyond question. History has
proven that mental alertness is a primary consideration.
The Fire and Police Departments can only attract the
desired personnel if placed on an equal footing with other
agencies. We cannot logically e.xpect young men to seek
employment in dangerous occupations, or to work incon-
venient night hours unless their financial rewards are at
least comparable to other employments.
What are the facts?
Recently a California Taxpayers League made a survey
of the increased costs of Fire and Police service over the
period 1936-1944 inclusive. The national average was
found to indicate an overall increase of approximately
75%. Over the same period, the increased cost of Fire
and Police Protection in San Francisco has increased
only 8.75%.
Our need for Fire and Police services are greater today
than they have ever been before. The increased and ag-
gravated police problems are self-evident. The rise in fire
hazards due to neglect, congestion, lack of trained men
to perform inspections are a matter of record.
In comparison with other Fire and Police Departments
in California alone, your Fire and Police rank first in
efficiency but a poor fifth in the matter of wages and hours.

One of the most pressing problems facing the Police

The serious proportions can best be understood by con-

The Fire Departments has had similar experiences.
Robert F. Callahan of the Fire Department and Lieu-
tenant James L. Quigley of the Pohce Department are
co-chairmen of the compaign committee for Amendment
No. 4. Both are experienced campaigners, Fireman Calla-
han showing his ability at the last election while Lieutenant
Quigley showed a know-how to get votes when he resigned
from the Police Department and was elected for two
terms in the state legislature and later as handling cam-
paigns for the Police Department that won by substantial
majorities.
Mayor Roger D. Lapham, Police Commissioners Jerd
Sullivan, J. Wesley Howell and E. L. Turkington with
the Board of Supervisors have given their O. K. to the
measure.
MOVING POLICE HORSES
San Francisco's mounted police are now mobile. The
truck has done it. Prancing chargers are all right in their
place, but the dashing mounted officer can't dash very far
when it is several miles from the Police Department stables
to the job.
So the simple and natural solution was devised. Instead
of having officers spend the first and last hours of the day
riding to and from their pests, a truck that would carry
six or seven horses was built. The result is that the horses
are transported clear across town in a few minutes and
delivered to the post, where the officer is ready to assume
charge of his mount.
The department had three barns where the horses were
kept, but even then it was a long distance to the various
points where mounted police were used, such as Hunter's
Point, Ingleside, the beach. The only really convenient
arrangement was for the traffic squad, who used a barn
at Fourth and Clara Streets, only a comparatively short
distance from the main business district.
Under the new system, the Potrero police barn was
closed and all the horses except for the downtown traffic
squad concentrated at the Golden Gate Park stables. Here
50 horses are accommodated. In the morning the horses
are led out to the truck — they don't have to be led into it
any more, they trot in by themselves, proud of their intel-
ligence. At night the truck makes a swing or two around
the city and the horses are all back in a very short time.
If a large number of horses were needed at one spot,
as in the case of a riot or big fire, they could be transported
speedily to the scene. The truck also is very handy for tak-
ing horses to shows or rodeos outside of San Francisco.
It is operated under the direction of Inspector George
Merchant, veteran horseman, who has charge of all the
department horses.
The truck is a Model 614 Diamond-T, Cab-over style,
with a 320 cubic inch engine. On a chassis a 20-foot spec-
ially-built van body is mounted, with doors at the rear
and side and hinged runways for the horses to reach the
interior. There are six stalls for the horses, three at the
front and three at the rear. If it is necessary to carry seven
horses, the aisle across the center is utilized.
Stalls in the truck are removable, and the vehicle can
be used as a large "Black Maria" whenever needed. Plans
Inspector George Merchant
In SFPD Horse-Carrying Truck
for the vehicle were worked out by Diamond-T Trucks
of San Francisco and the San Francisco Wheel and Body
Works, by whom the body was built.

lACP Annual Convention
The fifty-third annual convention of the International
Association of Chiefs of Police was held this year in
Mexico City, Mexico, and lasted for a four-day period
from September 23 to 27, inclusive.
Brigadier General Ramon Jimenez Dalgado, Chief of
Police of Mexico, went all out to give the 1000 police
heads from all important countries of North, South and
Central America a fine time.
Charles W. Dullea
The program presented contained papers, addresses and
speeches by a host of outstanding enforcement officials
and the convention gave a lot of attention to the ever
present traffic problems and of juvenile delinquency.
Chief Charles W. Dullea, who was elected first vice
president and next year will be automatically elevated
to the top position had a prominent part in the four-day
program of the convention.
He headed two panel discussions, one providing for
enforcement of President Truman's Highway Safety Con-
ference, and the other "Police Planning for the Future."
Respecting the first Chief Dullea summarized as follows :
The broad objectives of the President's Highway Safety
Conference held in Washington were to set up traffic
control programs in each state and city which will assure
safe and efficient use of streets and highways. The panel
sought to discuss several of the important recommendations
of the conference, all of which are drawn from control
programs now in successful operation throughout the U. S.,
in an effort to bring to light criticisms of the recom-
mendations or problems encountered in their administra-
tion. Subjects touched upon included the ad\'isability of
specialized traffic control squads, elements of a sound
pedestrian control program, public relations, effectiveness
of Junior Patrols and training. Activities of various states
in holding meetings to put the Action Program into
operation were outlined, and all Chiefs were asked to
inquire as to what is being done in their particular state.
All Chiefs needing them were urged to obtain copies of
the recommendations of the President's Conference from
the lACP Traffic Division, 1704 Judson Ave., Evanston,
111. Questions and comments were invited and received
from the conference floor. Discussion was lively and
interest in the problem as presented was intense, indicating
the increasing seriousness of all aspects of the traffic con-
trol problems.
The question of establishing a special traffic law en-
forcement bureau within a police department was dis-
cussed at length. Panel members agreed that specialization
was necessary before a sound control job could be assured,
but emphasized the necessity of training all other mem-
bers of the department in traffic control procedures, and
demanding that they function as traffic police officers in
addition to their other tasks. The specialists, or men in
the Accident Prevention Bureau, must be carefully selected
and highly trained in traffic control and accident preven-
tion procedures. This assures best possible police-driver
contact and thereby better public relations. Because the
public's main contact with the police department is
through traffic personnel, need for specialization is readily
apparent.
In his Police Planning subject he said in part :
"We are cognizant of the fact that the police of the
nation have received increases in salar>', and that their
working conditions have been generally improved, but
these advances have not kept pace with private industry
and it is absolutely necessary to make the career of law
enforcement so attractive financially to the desirable young
men of our various communities that they will choose
that field instead of engaging in private or other govern-
mental enterprises. This can be accomplished by increas-
ing salaries and liberalizing existing pension provisions.
Some departments are already working a 40-hour week
and the trend in that direction seems to indicate that
it is only a matter of time before a shorter work week
will be obtained for all classes of labor including the
police services.
"The problem that is already manifesting itself in some
communities is the attempt to re-establish commercialized
vice. The Federal Security Agency and the LTnited States
Department of Public Health sold the nation a program
that excluded the moral side of the problem and appealed
solely to the medical aspects. Now we in law enforce-
ment will again be alone in combatting this evil. We have
already heard Mr. Bascom Johnson . . . and he admitted
that without recognition of the moral code of decency
on the part of the nation that no program for the sup-
pression of commercialized vice can succeed. I am sure
that we in law enforcement will continue our stand in
this matter regardless of the defections of other temporary
agencies."

Oakland's Police Department Knows its Firearms,
Knows How to Shoot Straight and Undergoes
Stiff Training Course Under Its Own Experts
By B. S. (Sandy) Sanders, Veteran Retired Police Reporter, Editor and Writer.
There was a time when a police officer knew only 3
types of firearms, the pistol, the shotgun and the rifle.
With a pistol and his nightstick and a star he stood for
law and order. ... A hero to the kids in his neighborhood.
His knowledge of firearms was confined to his personal

experience as a nimrod who hunted deer in season and
who once a year tried to get in his duck hunt.
Today the picture has changed.
In the modern, up-to-the-minute Police Department a
thorough knowledge of various types of firearms from
the pistol to the sub machine-gun and the gas gun is
compulsory.
Furthermore in all departments throughout the land
expert training is afforded enforcement officers.
Regular target practice is held.
Strict rules and recommended courses of instruction
have been carefully worked out by the police departments
themselves and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The modern police officer must not only know his fire-
arms but must know how to shoot accurately.
Oakland's police department stands out in the national
picture in the care with which, under Chief of Police
Bob Tracy, it is teaching the 520 members of the depart-
ment the proper use and care of firearms.
A rifle and pistol range has been established in the
Alameda County Zoological Gardens.
Here at regular intervals, pistol and rifle shoots are held,
competitive shtx>ts where the marksman gets his official
rating.
Here, too, they must qualify in scoring with machine
guns, that formidable weapon made famous in war and
by the "killers" of banditry in this and other nations.
Pistol shooting, because the pistol and the revolver, are
the pricipal weapons of the police officer, is given special
attention.
Matches are held in accordance with regulations laid
down by the National Rifle Association.
Top rating in pistol shooting is that of master, the
second, expert, the third, sharpshooter and the fourth,
marksman. Each man must shoot a standard score.
The course includes the firing of 65 rounds from re-
volvers, as follows;
10 shots, quick-draw, double action shooting.
10 shots, with weak hand (left or right, as the case
may be).
10 shots, slow fire.
10 shots, timed fire (five shots in 20 seconds).
10 shots, rapid fire (five shots in 10 seconds).
1 5 shots at bobbing target.

Before them are other types of arms used by the Oakland Police
Department, including a pistol, a shotgun pistol and a sawcd-oB
shotgun.
Revolver shooting also includes the famous FBI stani
for quick-draw firing from the hips.
Then there is the sub-machine gun shooting in whicl
the men must qualify.
A perfect score must be made in single-action shooting
with this weapon.
Sa wed-off shot guns -12-gaugc riot guns as well as
shot-gun pistols are also used in qualifying the men of
the Oakland police department.

San Jose Police Department Gets Salary Raise
During his more than two years as head of the Police
Department, Chief WiUiam C. Brown has been responsible
for many changes in this prosperous and beautiful Santa
Clara Valley city, and has given it the utmost in law
enforcement.
He has increased his force more than 50 per cent, the
Chief William C. Brown
membership of his personnel now numbering 96 against
65 when he took over three years ago coming next May.
So well has he handled his men enforcing the laws
of the land that last June he was able to have the people
vote, by three to one, for an increase of police pay. The
minimum for patrolman is now $235 per month, it for-
merly was $215. Detectives and sergeants were boosted to
$275 and Captains $300. The Chief was given a raise
to $400 per month.
At this same election the police officers were able to
have an important change in their pension setup. Hereto-
fore the charter read a man reaching 65 with 20 years
service might be retired on a pension. The voters changed
that to SHALL be pensioned at 5 5 if he has 20 years on
the force.
These newest changes will go into effect December 1.
Last April Chief Brown was stricken with illness and
he was not able to report back for duty until August —
he is now hale and hearty. During his absence Sergeant
J. M. Carter, who since May 1937 has been secretary
to the Chief of Police was given charge of the Police
Department. He handled his emergency so well that
Chief Brown had no trouble convincing the city council
and the City's new manager, O. W. Campbell, the De-
partment should have an assistant Chief of Police. He
had no more trouble in having this made into a law and
the okehing of Sergeant Carter as San Jose's first assistant
Chief of Police. He comes in for a pay raise to $330
per month by a vote of the people.
Chief Brown has been able to get 16 new 1946 auto-
mobiles for his department which now uses 18 machines
— eight for the Accident Investigation Squad, four for
the Detective Bureau and the rest for patrol work ; all are
equipped with 2 -way radio. He has been able to have
the City try out frequency modulation in his radio station,
and preliminary tests have been made under the Direction
of Henri Kirby, the Department's able and popular radio
technician.
He has had the Traffic Bureau moved into quarters at
211 and 215 North Market Street where a force of 3 1
look after this ever-increasing problem. Ten motorcycles,
in addition to eight automobiles, work under the direc-
tion of Captain of Traffic Edward Stough.
He has provided trained and fearless men to the De-
tective Bureau, which is headed by Captain of Detectives
R. J. Blackmore.
Here he has batted out a record during his incumbency
as Chief of Police that is unmatched in any other depart-
ment. Captain Blackmore and his men, faced with the
mounting crime wave throughout the United States, being
unable to stop it, have shown that they are ready and
able to cope with it.
During the first 9 months of this year the record for
upper bracket crimes is as follows:
Burglaries committed 285, cleared by arrests 163, nearly
60 per cent of them solved.
Robberies 33 committed and 18 cleared up by arrests,
close to 55 per cent effectiveness against this kind of
criminal operator.
Assault with a deadly weapon 17 cases reported, 14
cleared.
Rapes 14 committed; 13 arrests.
Grand theft, exclusive of auto stealing, 33 cases re-
ported and 2 3 cleaned up.

Honolulu's Police Chief in Department 14 Yrs.
Written for the Police y Peace Officers' Journal By Gerry Burtnett, Honolulu Advertiser
"Local boy makes good," could be the bromidic lead for
this story. For it is about an island boy who came up the
hard way, through the cane fields to land at the top of
his final choice of a life work, guarding the lives and
property of his fellow men.
When kamaainas learned that "Bill" Honpai was to
get the post of police chief, they felt an honor had been
Chief Hoopai
Honolulu's Tiew chief in his office the day he was promoted to the
top rank in the department.
done one their own. But the malihini said, "Who is this
Hoopai, where did he come from, never heard of him?"
William Hoopai had been cloaked in the relative ob-
scurity of assistant chief of police for 14 years.
St. Louis Graduate
A graduate of St. Louis college in 1910. the future
chief listened to counsel of a faculty member who told
him not to be too "choosey" but to take the first job
that came his way and make good at it.
He returned to his home island, Kauai, and went out
into the fields of the Makaweli plantation. But not for
long.
His training along commercial education lines was being
wasted on the handle of a cane knife, he felt, and he made
his way back to Honolulu where he found a job with the
depot quartermaster at the old lolani barracks. Then he
rose to the eminence of a messenger with the brigade
headquarters of the USA which was just being organized.
By 191? he was offered a job as copyist in the supreme
court, photographing old supreme court records.
"The ink, or the pens, or the enthusiasm of the clerks
in the old courts had caused the records to disintegrate,"
Mr. Hoopai says. "The ink had literally eaten through
the paper and the records were becoming just a bunch
of curlicued holes. We preserved them by registering the
flourishes of the penmen upon films that would endure."
Runs for Sheriff
After six years" work in the circuit cotirt.s Judge Cornell
S. Franklin took office and put Bill Hoopai under his wing.
From 1919 to 1928 he served in the judge's court, then
politics got in his ear. He ran for sheriff on the Republican
ticket and polled second to Pat Gleason in a group of
14 candidates. Mr. Gleason offered him the post of deputy
sheriff and he took it. That was June of 1929.
Let's turn back the clock again to learn about another
facet of the cutting in the hard school of life that has
made this character what it is today.
Mr. Hoopai labored in the courts under such judges
as A. G. M. Robertson, Franklin, Edward K. Massie,
Charles Davis, Albert Cristy, Ray O'Brien, William God-
bold, Antonio Perry, John R. Desha and J. J. Banks.
From their dispositions, and from the cases that appeared
before them, he learned invaluable facts of law and what
motivates men to behave as they do.
Enlists in Guard
But let's go back to 1913 again, when he started as a
copyist. He also enlisted in Company A of the 1st
Hawaiian infantry regiment under Capt. Henry O'Culli-
van. He served through every rank, even second lieutenant,
then jumped to captain, major and lieutenant colonel, the
executive officer of the regiment.
He was a member of the polo team which included the
budding Judge Cornell S. Franklin, Cyril Hoogs, Ned
Crabbe, father of the famous champion swimmers, the
Crabbe brothers, and George Bennett, former manager
of the Waimanalo Sugar Co.
That is why Bill Hoopai still is dubbed "Colonel" by
his intimates. The military training, plus the inside
knowledge of the courts and their operations were to
pay off later.
When the police department was reorganized on Feb-
ruary 1, 1932, C. F. Weeber appointed Hoopai assistant
chief of police.
So there is the history of the business education of your
new chief.
Now we want to know what makes him tick as a human
■ ■ He Likes Chickens
He likes chickens. We took him up to the UniversityJ
of Hawaii experimental farm to have him meet Dr. Johr
H. Quisenberry, who has done more amazing things witH
the feathered bipeds than anyone in the USA. Chicfi
Hcxipai had revealed, in an aside some time before, than
he was an avid raiser of the egg producers.
The doctor went into a brooder and pulled forth some
lusty chicks a few weeks old and dwelt on tcchnicalitie
about artificial semination, feeding of haolc koa, stufFJ
stuff and stuff. By the time we could tear the chief
away, lunch had disappeared and our city editor charged
us up as an industrial casualty.
The chief likes chickens and is going to raise a lot
more of them at his home in Nuuanu. "I've got the urge

The Lay Concept of Criminology
Page 9
By Jau Don Ball, M. D.
The general public usually thinks of the policeman
when crooks, crimes and criminology are discussed. Little
does the average citizen realize what he demands of the
policeman; how little opportunity he affords him (educa-
tionally and economically) to equip himself.
Policemen are constantly facing problems in human
behavior. The ever increasing multiplicity of laws makes
it possible that any time any citizen may form contact
with the policeman. When such contact takes place a
reaction is sure to follow resulting in some form of be-
havior the nature of which is dependent upon the emo-
tions involved.
Sometimes, as is well known by those in police circles,
an apparently normal citizen will turn loose a tirade of
abuse upon the policeman who "stops" him when he is
infracting a traffic regulation. Indeed, in such situations,
must the police officer have perfect control over his actions.
Society expects it. Society wants its traffic regulated, but
oftentimes for the other fellow.
The thing we call society must be protected and not
abused, no matter how much society abuses the uniformed
protector. Society expects him to be courteous to it under
all conditions; it demands that he meet all emergencies
with special ability. The policeman, therefore, must safe-
guard the life and property of society by facing oftentimes
the most dangerous realities of life.
When others are excited and confused he must be calm
and clear headed. He is expected to apprehend the mur-
derer, the burglar, the holdup, the highwayman, the sneak
thief, the thug, the dip, the hophead, the gambler, the
wayward hanker, settle street fights, smooth out neigh-
borhood quarrels, remove the insane from their homes
away from the excited, fearful and tearful relatives, dis-
perse destructive mobs, keep a "cool" head in times of
disaster; render scientific first aid in accidents, be a walking
encyclopedia of general information, march in parades
and walk his beat.
With all these diverse duties and many others besides,
the policeman is expected to keep a level head and at all
times keep himself well in hand. Of all the persons in a
community he is the one who comes into contact with all
forms of abnormal human behavior. He is on the psychiat-
rical firing line and his "behavior" at all times is but a
reflex of the attitude of his superiors and an index as to
his training.
Society expects much from the policeman.
What does the policeman receive from society? Is it
not time the citizens of this country awaken to the seri-
ous fact that the policeman is a human being, endowed
like every other human being with a mind and body?
What use he puts these to depends largely upon the
stimulus and support he receives from society at large and
his superiors and coworkers in his particular department.
The policeman knows that many of the complaints he is
exposed to are the result of momentary desires on the
part of the complainant to call down upon the head of
his would-be victim the wrath and disapprobation of the
herd. How often does the policeman have to listen to
troubles and how often does the "injured" citizen expect
immediate action according to his (the citizen's) concept
of justice, which oftentimes is a distorted point of view
due to an angry mood at the time.
If the policeman calmly questions the advisability of
drastic action and advises the irate citizen to quiet down
or even asks some pertinent questions to ascertain the
correct facts of the case, he is often "bawled out" and
a bellicose attitude is frequently assumed by the com-
plainant; and resentment is at once manifested not only
against this particular policeman, but frequently passes
over to policemen in general. Citizens forget for the
moment the rights of others and the insistence of society
that the facts of the case be obtained and aired before
this disturber of the peace is crushed by the punishment
prescribed by the law.
Truly the time worn phrase; "Tell your troubles to the
policeman," so often spoken in jest, has, to the policeman
a serious side and a definite significance.
Quite often, too, the policeman "gets" the queerness,
the mental twist, the abnormality of his "stops." He puts
them down as "nuts," "queer guys," as "off their base"
or "crazy," according to the way in which their behavior
has impressed him. The written reports of policemen in
the files of any police department will testify to this.
The policeman should have a knowledge of the funda-
mentals underlying all human behavior and be afforded
an opportunity to study abnormal behavior.
Therefore does is not seem just and proper that the
policeman be given an opportunity to become acquainted
with the types of personalities he meets in his daily rounds
— acquainted not only in the manner of "running him in"
but what it is that makes it necessary to "run him in"?
Also should not society have a clearer and more scientific
knowledge concerning crooks, crime and criminology?
The problems of human behavior are attracting such
Vi'idespread attention that the lay mind is beginning to
ask questions — especially WHY all the crime; why all the
social, political and industrial unrest.
Police officers, adult and juvenile probation officers,
prosecuting attorneys, judges of criminal and juvenile
courts, social workers, school teachers, parent-teacher
groups, municipal health officers, various men's and wo-
men's clubs, organizations (professional, political, muni-
cipal, social, philanthropical and otherwise) , industrial and
labor leaders (singly and in groups), without exception,
are interested in human behavior problems. All wsh to
learn something about the abnormal manifestations which
abound in this day and age. All ask WHY?

THE ESCAPE OF 052
By Major C. M. Tuteur, U. S. Army
October. J 946
(Alcatra; Island has been properly called "The Rock."
Nature fashioned this island to be a fort, a place of refuge
— or a prison. Treacherous currents swirl by it on all sides.
(At present it is the nation's number one penitentiary
for prisoners who engaged in notorious crimes of violence.
For years it had been a U. S. Army prison post.
(On being discontinued as a U. S. Army prison post
it was thoroughly prepared to safely hold convicted gang-
sters, racketeers, bank robbers and such who had in their
law violations, brazenly flaunted all municipal, state, and
federal laws.
(Some years ago two prisoners escaped from Alcatraz,
but, in as much as they had not been heard from since
it is presumed they were swept out by the swift current
which flows through the Golden Gate. — Editor.)
HELP! HELP! HELP! Such a cry was heard from
the waters of San Francisco Bay, in the dead of night,
by a member of the garrison at Alcatraz Island. This
person immediately notified the guard house that someone
was drowning in the Bay. Under orders from the Ser-
geant of the Guard, the old launch Alcatraz was manned
by the night crew, and with searchlights probing the
black waters, sailed to the rescue of the unfortunate who
was apparently in dire need of help.
The launch had gone no more than a couple of hun-
dred yards from the shore of the island, when a bobbing
head was found, and a weak voice was still calling for
help. With considerable difficulty the launch crew pulled
a man aboard. He was about exhausted from his struggles
to keep afloat, and from cold. The crew covered him
with blankets and placed him in the cabin of the launch.
As soon as he was able to speak, he gave the crew a
name, and stated that he was from Oakland. He said that
he had been fishing in a rowboat off the island, and that
a passing ferry had swamped and sunk his boat. He
asked that he be taken to Oakland as the hour was late,
and that he had a business engagement there early in the
morning. The crew informed him that they could not
make a trip of that length unless they secured authority
from the Commandant of the Disciplinary Barracks. They
advised that it would be better for him to land on the
island, where he could dry his clothing by the stove in
the guard house, and partake of hot coffee which was
left on the stove all night for the use of the guard.
He insisted that the journey to Oakland be made, and
promised the crew a considerable sum of money if they
landed him in that city before daylight. The soldiers
promptly vetoed this proposition, and told him that in so
far as they were concerned orders were orders, and on the
"Rock" he would have to go, the officials there would
probably sec to it that he was duly sent to his destination.
Though the crew patiently listened to all the arguments
advanced by the citizen from Oakland, they put about,
landed at the dock, and escorted him to the guard housej
A sympathetic Sergeant of the Guard heard his taleJ
helped him to some hot coffee, and told him to makej
himself at home, while he communicated with the Office
of the Day. The discussion of this rescue by the crev
and members of the guard, awoke Corporal McGowaij
whose relief was off post, and who was sleeping on a bunB
in the guard house. He listened for a short while and
then said "that man is no citizen of Oakland, he is 052. '|
This the rescued one indignantly denied, but the cor
poral insisted that he knew him well, because he had
been a member of the cement gang during the time the
corporal was doing duty as overseer.
The Sergeant of the Guard then called the prison
building and asked whether 052 had been checked in at
the nine o'clock check, to which he received an affirmative
reply. The sergeant then asked if the prisoner was then
in his cell, and after a wait of a few minutes the answer
was that he was there, and was sleeping. Corporal Mc-
Gowan still maintained that the man at the guard house
was an inmate of Alcatraz, so the Officer of the Day
was called. He heard the circumstances of the case, went
into the cell blocks with the head overseer, opened the
door of the cell occupied by 15052, pulled an army
blanket off what appeared to be a sleeping man, and dis-
covered a head made of plaster of paris surmounted by
brown hair, a pillow or two extending from the head
downward, and a pair of army shoes placed so as to
resemble feet. He, thereupon, telephoned the guardhouse
and had the alleged "business man from Oakland" brought
to the Executive Officer's office where he was promptly
identified as 15052, a former air corps soldier, who was
serving a term for the theft of a considerable amount of
airplane cloth in the. Hawaiian Islands. He was locked
up in another cell, and the next morning has case was
investigated by the Executive Officer. After a bit of
questioning, he good naturedly told of the manner in
which he made his near-getaway, and his plan was some-
what like this:
He had demonstrated to the officer in charge of work
details, and the overseers that he was an excellent cement
worker. He conceived the idea of an escape while at
work repairing the cement cornice of the prison building;]
He had noticed that the galvanized iron ventilators which
pierced the roof over the cell blocks had no bars in them.j
and that the top of the cell block was not more than eight
or ten feet below the room of the building. He, therefore,j
accumulated bits of rope, a few sticks of wood, a coupla
of pieces of iron, and made himself a rope ladder with
h(K)ks on one end. His work acquainted him with the
storage place for plaster and hair. Some of this he ap-
propriated, and during rainy weather when he was not
locked in his cell, he fashioned the plaster head. The

Mill Valley^s Chief James McGowan
Mill Valley with its 7000 population has settled down
to its normal stage after its census had been increased by
several hundred war workers who sought a place to reside,
while they were engaged in furnishing the necessary am'
munition and transportation to the war fronts. Most of
these transients have departed with the closing down of
the Marinship yards, a fair percentage impressed with

Left to right: Officers J. Canet, Al Canet, Kal Henry, Charles Mc-
Courtney, Harry Tonlinson, Chief McGowan and Ben Hartwell.
the beauty and climate of Mill Valley, however, have
settled down for their future homes.
Through the war years Chief James McGowan and his
Police Department of six men has afforded this seques-
tered community with splendid law enforcement. The
people who make up the population of Mill Valley are
naturally law abiding and they insist any new comers
follow their pattern for law observance.
So well has Chief McGowan and his force of officers
performed the duties they are charged with, and have
continued, since the cessation of hostilities, that the people
of the city have granted an increase of one man to the
PoHce Department and increased the salaries of police
officers to $245 per month. This latter raise became ef-
fective September 15. The Chief's salary was increased
to $3600 per year.
Chief McGowan knows every man, woman and
child in his jurisdiction and it is quite a treat to witness
him going down the street and being wholeheartedly
greeted by every person who passes along, whether it be the
banker, or a laborer, a man or a woman, they all hail the
Chief with a friendliness that explains why he has been
head of Mill Valley's Police Department for so many
years.
He got his start as a policeman when he was made Chief
of Sausalito in 1928, serving for four years in that capac-
ity. He came from Calavaras County while a hoy and
located in San Francisco, and there he got the urge to
become a law enforcement officer and passed the examina-
tion for the San Francisco Police Department, but decided
Marin County was a mighty nice place to locate and he
has never regretted the move.
Its only minor offenses that keeps him and his men
engaged in their work of law enforcement, and particu-
larly are they interested in looking after the school chil-
dren, the public parks and other meeting places, keeping
rid of the loiterers.
Chief McGowan married Mabel Weston in San Fran-
cisco in 1924 and the couple has three children, two boys
and a girl.

between his office and the nine incorporated cities, to-
gether with Marin City, the war born housing project
that came into being with the advent of the shipyards at
Sausalito, and with Hamilton Field the Army Air base
that during the war had tens of thousands of men and
women passing through that base and which today houses
upward of 6,000 people.
With two-way radio, with deputies familiar with every
section of the county, with experience gained through
his tenure as sheriff and as a state fish and game patrol
officer of many years he has built up a splendid coordinated
system of enforcing the law.
Sheriff Sellmer extends his cooperation philosophy to
officers of other jurisdictions, and during the war years
he had an active part in rounding up for outside officers
wanted men who sought escape by working under assumed
names in the shipyards. He always got a man so wanted.
For years there have been no major crimes in Marin
County. No murders, bank robberies, no embezzlements
or safe cracking worth mentioning. Petty burglaries, the
run of the mill bad check, a small number of strong arm
holdups, a few statutory charges and a drunken driving
and a hit run now and then arc what keeps the 21 mem-
bers of his force of deputies busy.
He has seven cars on patrol equipped with two-way
radio and maintains another in Marin City of which he
has jurisdiction.
He also serves the nine incorporated cities from his
radio station.
He had five members of his force inducted into the
armed forces, but they are all back. His three sons, Walter,
Jr., Henry and William were also in World War II but
returned safe and sound with splendid service records.
Sheriff Sellmer was the first Sheriff in California to
take up flying and has his own plane and a flyer's license.

San Rafde^s ChieF of Police
Chief of Police Frank Kelley of San Rafael is completing
his fourth year as head of Marin County's largest city.
He was elected to his present post in April, 1943. Since
assuming the leadership of the Police Department he
has seen great changes in San Rafael as has all other
cities and towns of California, and he and his force of
^■*««*s,^
Chief Frank Kelly
12 men, one more than when he took over, have done a
marvelous work in preserving the peace of his picturesque
community.
He has seen San Rafael grow to 14,000 people in its
5.44 square miles, some 6,000 more than the 1940 census
gave the town. In addition to the permanent and tran-
sient residents there has been drawn during the war years
and the post war period added thousands who find San
Rafael a great place for trading, recreation and just
visiting.
Seven men were taken from his department hy the
armed forces of our country, and all are back with the
exception of Lincoln Borla who will be on the job again
in a short time.
Chief Kelly's top man and chief assistant now is Lieu-
tenant Charles Chiesa, who fills the spot of the late
Assistant Chief Manuel Soares, who died early this year,
after a splendid record of law enforcement in San Rafael.
You don't iind much crime in San Rafael. There are
the usual drunks, a few disturbing the peace and a few
small burglaries, but no murders, robberies or other top
crimes. The police is kept busy handling the vast stream
of motor vehicle traffic that passes through the city to
and from northern coast points and to Sacramento valley
area via the Sears Point causeway. Coupled with this
the thing that keeps Chief Kelly and his men extra busy
are the bad check passers. During this year 150 phony
checks have been passed, and be it said to the credit of
the Police Department arrests have been made clearing
up every one of them. So bad checks and traffic offenses,
which calls for much investigation and getting the in-
jured to hospitals are the main things that has kept the
boys in uniform active.
How well they have served the people of San Rafael
is indicated by the fact that their salaries have been raised
to a minimum of $250 per month by Mayor William
Nock and Councilmen Jacob Alberts, William Herup,
Phil Brown and Edward Culver. Formerly the salary
was $225.
Referring to traffic again it might well be stated that
this year San Rafael has gone in for parking meters.
There has been installed on the main street and a block
on each side, 515 of these mechanical gadgets that makes
parking more easy for the motorist and makes the work
more easy for the police in the matter of passing out
overtime parking tags. So successful has this first installa-
tion proven that the business men of other down town
streets who have been without the meters have asked for
the same and a hundred more are to be installed as soon
as they can be obtained.
Chief Kelly, a graduate from the FBI National Police
Academy, firmly believes that men enforcing the laws
should be well grounded in fundamentals of his calling.
He has for months conducted weekly meetings of his
force where they are schooled in all phases of police
work and as a result his men are able to take up all sorts
of investigations fortified with the knowledge of just what
to do. to make intelligent reports and present their cases
into all courts.
With two automobiles and a three-wheeled motorcycle
equipped with two-way radio the Department gives a full
coverage of all sections of the city.
You'll not find a more courteous, efficient and able
Police Department than San Rafael under Chief Kelly.
I
We take this means to thank Sheriff Selmer,
Chief Kelly, Chief "Wood, Chief Peri, Chief
Nicholson, Chief McGowan, Chief Doyle,
and other Chiefs and their loyal staflFs for the
high type of protection they have and are
providing the industries and citizens of
Marin County.

Chief Radio Technician J. M. Lewis
Marin County with nearly 85,000 population and an
additional 6,000 men and women at Hamilton Field is
one of the finest two-way radio covered areas that you
will find in this countr>'.
Through the efforts and the ability of J. Mansfield
Techniciax J. M. Lewis
Lewis, chief radio technician to Sheriff Walter Sellmer's
department, has this been brought about.
J. Mansfield Lewis, a pioneer in the use of two-way
radio in police work, installed the second set to be used
in this state and the first in the north coastal area. In
1934 while a member of the San Anselmo Police De-
partment under Chief Donald Wood, a pioneer in the
belief that radio was the answer to the hopes of all law
enforcement agencies, especially the smaller police depart'
ments, he broke out with this means of communication.
Through hard work assisted by Brown McMurphy, R. E.
Moore, George Burton, J. D. Hossack, Manuel Trinta
and other bay area police radio experimenters, the idea
has been so well sold that but few areas are without the
use of two-way radio.
So well did he do his work in the San Anselmo Police
Department that when a few years ago Sheriff Sellmer
went in for radio the supervisors okehed his selection as
chief county technician.
Today Chief Lewis covers the entire county, maintain'
ing communications to 47 cars distributed among 9 cities,
the sheriff's office and county fire departments. He has
as assistants Earl Christiansen as dispatcher and assistant
technician Fred Stone.
In addition his office is tied in with San Quentin which
in the event of any call from that State Institution can
broadcast calls for help and give information on any
escapes.
Many small cities have been saved untold sums of money
and been likewise saved from being loaded up with un-
necessary equipment, by Technician Lewis for he has
the answers to all the questions as to what a department
needs and it matters not to him who manufactures this
equipment, he is only interested in getting that which
will do the job.
Two-way radio has become one of the most important
aid to law enforcement during its more than 12 years ex-
perience, and Mansfield Lewis has contributed more than
his share to this success.

Yes, the war is over but Sausalito which was the cen-
tral point of tens of thousands of men and women en-
gaged in shipbuilding adjacent to that city is still a thriving
.'.immunity of over 6500 people, and there is plenty doing.
The Police Department, under Chief James F. Doyle,
Chief James F. Doyle
has had no let up since the cessation of hostiUties more
than a year ago, in fact so much work has followed the
po6t-war era that Chief Doyle and his eight roan force,
exduave of four maintained at the Marin dormitories,
have been hitting on high 24 hours of the day.
Indicative of how active the Department has been these
past nine months we note in the monthly reports that
the total of $14,000 was collected in fines for misde-
meanor oflFenses of all sorts.
Marin City with some 6000 population converge on
Sausahto for shopping and relaxation and the latter some-
times poses more work for the boys on patrol.
Felonies committed in the city are few and far between
but Chief Doyle and his men nab, weekly, some man
wanted by outside cities or counties.
An instance in point is the apprehensicm of a man
wanted for burglarizing the grocery store of a San Mateo
cky councilman. Chief William O'Brien of San Mateo
phoned Chief Doyle saying he had reason to believe the
s«iq:«ct was over in Sausalito, would he help out. Chief
Doyle took personal charge of this request and in less
than a half hour had the suspect in custody. He was A.
Jones and was ready for a getaway, having signed up
for a job on a far Pacific project; was housed in the
shipyard dormitory, had put his belongings on a ship
Aat was to sail the next day when Chief Doyle and
posse walked in on him. It did not take Inspector Tom
Coonors of San Mateo very long to call for the prisoner
The following week Chief Doyle picked up a bad
check passer for the Berkeley Police Department who
was making a Pacific Ocean getaway.
Mayor Clyde Hildreth, Police Commissioner S. L.
Sefton, attorney at law; Councilmen Robert Ross, loco-
motive engineer Northwestern Pacific Railway; and John
Ehlan, attorney and George Keeney, Drake-Utah Con-
struction Co. have arranged to have parking meters in-
stalled in Sausalito, and as a further help to the PoHce
Department has purchased upward of $1,000 worth of
tommy and gas guns, gas, and gas masks.
Chief Doyle has been police head for five years and
has completed ten years as a member of the force.

San Anselmo Has 3 -Way Radio
San Anselmo has no industrial centers, no shipyards or 24-hour period, there passed through the crossing at Sir
other activities that marks a teeming bustling city, but
it is a little city of some 8,200 people situated in as fine
a setting as you would find in any place on this earth.
It also has a Chief of Police in Donald Wood, who, during

Chief Donald Wood
his nearly 18 years as top man in the Police Department,
takes his job seriously and has with fine success fulfilled
his idea of giving the people under his care the maximum
in police protection.
With his force of eight men he has for years been
doing just that.
Chief Wixids is not one of those police executives who
believes you can't break precedents. Back in 1934 he got
the idea that this two-way radio for law enforcement
being worked out by the late Chief Fred Hecre of Pied-
mont with the aid of Technician Brower McMurphy would
be a good thing to try out. He got his councilmen to
back the idea and installed a station, the first on the other
side of the bay and the second in this state. He has seen
his belief fully confirmed because no police department,
no matter how small can function without this modern
invention.
How he has taken another first or second step in im-
proving his radio setup. He has installed in his patrol
cars the new three-way radio. This gives the following —
communications between men in the respective cars; be-
tween car and station, and between car and their office.
Like all sections of the country traffic accidents are
causing a lot of trouble in San Anselmo. There have been
two deaths this year and a mighty lot of injuries to say
nothing of damaged cars.
As an idea of how heavy automotive traffic is in this
little cily figures taken at ,i recent test .show that for a
Francis Drake Boulevard and Red Mill Road 20,400 cars,
an average of S10 cars per hour with a top number of
1800 per hour.
There have been no felonies committed in San Anselmo
this year.
Chief Woods' force includes:
Lieutenant S. N. Serio, A. Demaestri, A. G. Herrington,
A. Tognoli, P. Jones, D. McCarthy, G. Anselmi and

Two More Gas Chamber Prospects
Two-way radio, close cooperation that has been built
up through the years among Bay area enforcement of-
ficials and the alertness of a 14-year-oId High School boy
resulted in the fast solution and the arrest of the per-
petrators of a brutal murder in San Francisco last month.
Tv\'o men armed with pistols entered the J. B. Mc-
f^
Inspector Patrick (Paddy) Wafer
Donald auto sales lot at 1617 Market street. They ap-
proached Joseph Klein in charge at the time and after
some words about a car Klein was shot through the head,
being killed instantly.
The two men got into a car that had brought them
to the place and started on their getaway. But a self-
trained high school student, Ronald Smith, 1670 Mission
street, who has a flair for "grabbing" automobile numbers
and remembering them had heard the shots. He saw two
men dash for their car and he proceeded to scan the
license numbers. He had no paper or pencil, but he had
a retentive memory.
And it was a good thing he was so blessed for there
was no one else who could have given even a fleeting
description of the two robber-killers when the police ar-
rived. Young Smith relayed his valuable information to
the Inspectors and immediately things began to happen.
An emergency broadcast was shot over the radio to all
districts around the bay.
Road blocks were put up a few minutes after the
tragedy and it wasn't long until the sought after pair
was in custody.
The men started down the Peninsula and got as far as
San Bruno where they were halted by brave and efficient
Sergeant James Bedford, at the time acting Chief of
Police. He saw only one man in the car and took that
man to the station and locked him up. Then he returned
to check the car and as he passed behind the vehicle a shot
came out from the second man who had been hiding on
the rear floor. Sergeant Bedford was shot in the head and
though seriously wounded he is now well on his way to
a complete recovery.
The hunt for this second man was stepped up. Officers
from all parts of San Mateo county Police Departments
and the Sheriff's office together with a flock of Inspectors
from the San Francisco Police Department converged on
the roads down the peninsula. But it was left to In-
spector Patrick Wafer, whose reputation for fearlessness
and quick acting has been established many a time since
he has been a member of the Department, to grab off
this second killer. He got him in a well known road house
at San Bruno, and though the man identified as John
C. Defer put up a battle Wafer overpowered him as he
has done to many a tough guy before.
Defer with the man Sergeant Bedford had arrested,
and who gave the name of Edward Ellis were brought
back to San Francisco where they were identified by
young Smith and a bookkeeper of McDonald, and were
lodged in the city prison, charged with murder, with an
added hold of attempted murder of Sergeant Bedford.
Less than 48 hours after the crime was committed
both men confessed to the crimes.
Chief William Maher of San Bruno can be as proud
of the part Sergeant Bedford played in getting these two
killers, as Chief Dullea was of the part Inspector Paddy
Wafer played in getting the second murderer. It is the
second San Bruno Policeman shot by bandits this year.
Ronald Smith the young Commercial High School stu-
dent was highly praised by all law abiding citizens and
his act of getting the number of the car used by the killers
and his ability to remember those numbers resulted in his
being presented by the San Francisco Police Officers
Association with a check for $100. The presentation was
made in the high school by Deputy Chief Michael Riordan
who was lavish in his praise of the fine work of the young
boy and the students who listened to Deputy Chief
Riordan and the principal of the High School gave a
big cheer.
To encourage other school boys to be as alert as young
Smith the Police Association by resolution has established
a precedent which will be followed annually when a $100
check will be awarded to the school boy of San Francisco
who contributed the most assistance in law- enforcement.
Association President, Officer James J. McGovern, in
commenting on the adoption of the resolution said that
it was a fine thing to find young boys willing to be so
helpful to the men who enforce the laws of the country.

Sacramento's Crime Situation
Chief Alexander K. McAllister of Sacramento in his
report to City Manager Bartley W. Cavanaugh gives a
very sad picture of what the postwar months are doing
to his city in the way of law violations, and it might well
be said that all metropolitan municipalities are experienc-
ing a similar upsurge in criminal activities.
We present a resume of this report made hy Chief
Cnihi- Alexander McAllister
McAllister which is based on his well prepared recapituk'
tion of criminal offenses including traffic:
Herewith Police Department reports for the month of
August, 1946. These reports clearly indicate the tremen-
dous increase in all phases of police work being done
hy the department.
Offenses — Part I Classes
1 . The total .i76 Part I Class Offenses recorded for
the month of August is 2893, 3.5% less than the total for
July 1946, which was 2355. Decreases are noted in the
number of robberies, aggravated assaults and auto thefts.
The August 1946 total, however, reflects an increase of
12.6% when compared with August, 1945.
2. The total Part I Class Offenses during 1946 to date
is 22.8% greater than for same period 1945 but the
number of such offenses cleared by arrest has likewise
increased 32.9%.
3. Of the total 2893 Part I Class Offenses reported
during 1946 to date, 21.8% have been cleared by arrest.
During the same period 1945, 20.1% of the Part I Class
Offenses were cleared by arrest.
Arrests — Part I and II Classes:
1. Arrests for Part I Class Offenses, numbering 8027,
during August 1946 increased 13.2% when compared
with July 1946 and 51.5% when compared with August
1945, which totalled 5283.
2. Arrests and citations for Part II Class Offenses dur-
ing August 1946 increased 27.8% over July 1946 and
51.9% over August 1945. In this connection the 711
arrests for vagrancy is the highest total ever recorded for
a single month. The problem presented in the handling
and housing of persons arrested for drunkenness is re-
flected in the total of 1490 handled for this offense during
August 1946.
3. The 45,517 arrests and citations for the combined
Part I and II Class Offenses during 1946 to date is an
increase of 52.4% over the 29,874 total for same period
1945.
Traffic Citations and Arrests:
1. The total 1567 citations and arrests for Moving
Traffic Violations during August 1946 represents an all-
time high and is an increase of 71.4% over July 1946 and
728.9% over the 189 total recorded during August 1945.
2. Citations and arrests for Moving Traffic Violations
during 1946 to date have increased 189.7% over the
same period 1945. Increases in citations and arrests for
speeding, arterial stops and traffic signals should be noted.
3. Citations for Non-Moving Traffic Violations dur-
ing August 1946 increased 11.5% over July 1946 and
48.5% over August 1945.
4. Total citations and arrests of 26,085 for combined
Moving and Non-Moving Violations during 1946 to date
represent an increase of 61.5% when compared with same
period 1945. In the latter period the number was 12,570.
5. The traffic enforcement index of 20.0 achieved dur-
ing August 1946 is the highest ever recorded by this
Department and is exceptional inasmuch as 10.0 is con-
sidered an ideal index. The object of this rigid enforce-
ment policy is to reduce the number of all motor vehicle
traffic accidents and in particular to eliminate violations
likely to result in fatal or injury accidents.
Respectfully,
A. K. McAllister,
Chief of Police.

Chief Nicholson of Larkspur
Page 19
Chief of Police William V. Nicholson of Larkspur will
finish out 25 years service in the municipal government
of that city, all of which has been as head of the Police
Department excepting a few months when he started as
engineer of the Fire Department.
Larkspur's Chief was born in Blue Springs, Nebraska
December, the perpetrator of which was apprehended and
given a job making gunny sacks at nearby San Quentin.
There are 3900 people residing in Larkspur today.
When Chief Nicholson arrived there in 1922 the popu-
lation was 1400.
Chief Nicholson has done mighty well in a matrimonial
way. In 1924 he married Angela Fitzgerald the daughter
of a San Francisco water front official and the wife has
had as much to do with his success as a Police Chief as
his own natural ability has wrought. Mrs. Nicholson
should be secretary of the Chamber of Commerce for she
has all information about the city and its activities, its
growth and attractions.
Chief Nicholson and his two men who make up his
force today furnish enough cases, mostly traffic law viola-
tions, for Police Judge John Flor to keep busy.

In 1911 he was suifering from rheumatism and asthma so
bad the doctors told him he did not have very long to live
and he had better get some where in the west. He had a
friend in Larkspur who lined up a job in the Fire Depart-
ment, and he came out here expecting to pass on in a few
months. But the climate and the change of scenery worked
miracles for him, and today after nearly a quarter of a
century he looks a lot healthier than he did when he ar-
rived on January 11, 1922, when his weight was 130
pounds, bedside weight.
He arrived as stated on January 11, the 12th was his
birthday and on January 13 he took up his duties as the
city's fire fighter. A few months later Town Marshal Fred
Hurst died and Fireman Nicholson was appointed to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the death.
For 18 years he was the only paid law enforcement
officer in Larkspur. True there were some volunteer spe-
cial policemen but Chief Nicholson maintained a 24-hour
shift for the iirst 18 years of seeing that there were no
law violations.
Later his position of Marshal was changed to Chief of
Police.
During the 24 years and more that he has been in charge
there hasn't been a murder or a robbery in Larkspur, and
the biggest crime wave was a series of store burglaries last

Peter Maloney is Dead
Page 21
Peter Maloney is gone but the memory of the part he personally directed the gathering of artificial limbs and
played in maintaining the fine traditions of his native eyes and wheel chairs for the afflicted.
San Francisco will linger for a long time to come. Every Christmas he led thf South of Market Boys,
Few men in any walk of life live a life that was so full laden with toys and candies, to the orphan asylums. For
of doing something for the other fellow, particularly if years he helped further The Chronicle's summer camps
for under-privileged children. During the war he led war
bond and blood donor drives. He headed a finance com-
mittee which saved the Sunset District's Boy Scout Hall.
The Happy S.amaritan
But he was a happy Samaritan. He never wore a long
face. He was a familiar figure at nearly every public
pageant, grand ball or sports event — particularly those
held for charitable purposes.
Sergeant Maloney resigned from the Police Depart-
ment in 1943.
Mr. Maloney leaves a widow, Catherine, and five chil-
dren. Helene, 28; Ralph, 27; Roy, 25; Patricia, 23, and

that other fellow was one whose luck was running against
him.
A member of the San Francisco Police Department for
26 years he played his part in establishing the splendid
reputation this body has for law enforcement, of providing
much in the way of promoting sports, exhibitions and
other activities that made better men and better police
officers.
He rose to the rank of sergeant and when he resigned
some three years ago he left a record of accomplishments
that none have ever excelled. As a patrolman he did his
job well, he was brought to headquarters and in every
assignment he fulfilled the requirements of the assign-
ment. All during former Mayor Angelo J. Rossi's term
as Mayor he headed the force of officers assigned to the
Mayor's office and here he did great work. No man or
woman who had business with the city's Chief Executive
was given the brush off, whether he wore the latest in
tailored clothing or was poorly clad.
Pete Maloney could not say "no" to anyone in need
and he dipped often into his own pocket to give aid to
a down and outer.
He was the founder of the South of Market Street
Boys' Association. Inc.: Sunrise Breakfast Club, Inc.;
Mothers' day and Fathers' day breakfasts, and San Fran-
cisco Shut-In Association.
The Mothers" day breakfast has become an institution
in San Francisco, always un'th old folks from the Laguna
Honda Home as guests.
The Shut-In Association supplied thousands of radios
to hospital patients and other shut-ins. Mr. Maloney

POLICE AND PEACE OFFICERS' JOURNAL
DAILY DON'TS
October, 1946
By Opie L. Warner
Don't be angry at your critics; they evidently see what
you have not the humihty to see.
Don't look miserable; even your co-workers expect you,
as a police officer, to be ever hale and hearty looking.
Don't ever under-estimate your health and strength
value; the taxpayers expect physical perfection in their
police officers.
Don't be partisan in your community; a neutral attitude
better becomes a peace officer.
Don't ever parade your affiliations; to do so is not the
proper thing, even for an ordinary citizen.
Don't forget that you make friends by politeness; that
pertness, to say the least, does not please people.
Don't forget to have a good word to say whenever you
possibly can; there are always enough to knock the one who
has fallen.
Don't try to earn the reputation of being shrewd; people
who have the reputation of being plain dealers seem to get
along best.
Don't be too busy to keep up to date on department
orders; each new one issued is just as important as the
ones you have been obeying all these years.
Don't fail to enlarge your circle of friends; pleasure is
a necessity in our lives of work and worry.
Don't tell a secret; once told it becomes a worry as well
as a secret.
Don't evince too much interest in your co-workers' af-
fairs; to do so is a sure sign you are neglecting your own.
Don't belong to the definite class; "I think" is, nine times
out of ten, a much better statement than "I am sure."
Don't under-rate your seniors; experience generally
counts a great deal in any line of business.
Don't rely too much on your memory; note books and
pencils are not at all expensive.
Don't ever apologize for being a police officer; remem-
ber what the poet says:
"Honor and shame from no condition rise.
Act well your part; there all the honor lies."
Don't bemoan the business chances you have missed;
your audience may be thinking of the ones they missed —
and probably saying mentally that you were not drafted
into the Police Department.

POLICE AND PEACE OFFICERS" JOURNAL

S. F. P. D. Captains Commendations
The following are copies of reports submitted to Chief
Charles W. DuUea by Company Commanders shown.
The officers concerned have been personally commended
for their attention to duty excellent police work and for
their alertness, as outlined in these reportsS
"Acting on information received from Officer Julius
Von Nostitz, Officers Leo Maguire and Michael Powers,
of this station went to a 48th Avenue address and ques-
tioned a man in regard to a lumber theft which occurred
the previous evening from a construction job located at
48th Avenue and Pacheco. After many denials the de-
fendant confessed and showed the officers the stolen
lumber which had been piled in his basement. The police
officers then instructed the defendant not to remove the
lumber and they drove to the Taraval Station to contact
the owner of said property. Returning a short time
later with the owner of the stolen lumber, Arne Arnesen,
4430 Cabrillo Street, they observed the defendant with
friends attempting to saw and erase marks on the lumber
and thereby make identification impossible on said prop-
erty. The defendant was taken to the Taraval Police
Station and Kx)ked for violating Section 356 of the
Penal Code. Although the Construction Company on
the following day failed to prosecute the defendant the
contractor was reimbursed with $65 to cover the cost
of the stolen lumber.
"I am very pleased to be able to extend my congratula-
tions and commendations to these officers for the efficient
police duty executed in this case.
CAPTAIN John C. Wade,
Star Ho. 19— Co. I,
Commanding Taraval Dist."
Efficient police service rendered by Officers George
W. Steuben and James Sunderland:
"I wish to call your attention to the efficient police
service of the above named officers in the arrest on Friday,
July 19th, 1946, at 8;45 p. m., of Albert Ratto, 126
Vermont Street, Charles Ratto of 952 York Street and
Robert Sams of 120 Vermont Street, all with previous
police police records, in the rear of 151 Bayshore Blvd.
"Due to many recent burglaries reported from the
vicinity of Bayshore Blvd., from Army St. to Alemany
Blvd., these officers were especially vigilant in this area
■ind while patrolling Barneveld St., which is an unpaved
street and is seldom used, especially at night, the officers
observed Charles Ratto walking slowly south on this
street in a suspicious manner, accompanied by Albert
R.itto. The officers questioned them and they stated
that their car was parked at Oakdale Ave. and Bayshore
Blvd. and that it had a dead battery. They claimed that
they walked north on Bayshore Blvd. to a Standard
Gas Station to get a new battery for their car. The
.station did not have the right kind of battery so they
were taking a shortcut back to their car.
"The officers, becoming suspicious of their actions and
statements then searched the suspects and took them
back to where their car was parked and found Robert
Sams sitting in the car. Upon searching the car the officers
found a complete safe burglary tool kit concealed behind
the rear seat of the car. All three suspects denied any
knowledge as to how the burglary tools "happened" to
be in the car, although Albert Ratto admitted owner-
ship of the auto.
"Charles Ratto admitted to the officers that he was at
the time on parole from Folsom Prison and upon closer
investigation the officers found that all three suspects had
police records, and that one of the men, Albert Ratto,
had been shot in a previous burglary attempt in this city.
"The suspects were booked at this station in violation
of Section 466, Penal Code, the case being heard by
Judge Milton Shapiro in Municipal Court. The suspects
pleaded not guilty and demanded a jury trial, which
action is now pending.
"Due to the observation and attention to duty by these
officers they no doubt prevented further burglaries and
safe jobs in this district and I recommend that Officers
Steuben and Sunderland be commended by the Chief
of Police in orders, or as is fit.
Leo J. Tackeny,
Captain of Police Co. C."

"I respectfully call your attention to the excellent police
work performed by Officers Robert Brown, George Young
and Jerome Fitzgerald of the Central Station for the
arrest of Michael Ryan, an ex-convict, now on parole,
for seven (7) charges of robbery, as follows:
"At 10:45 p. m., Tuesday. August 6, 1946, Mrs. Alice
R. Nicolaisen reported to the above officers that she had
just been held up by a man who was then running north
on Taylor St. These officers gave chase immediately and

sought this man as he was running into the Old Crow
Tavern, 37 Turk St. He was brought back to the scene
or the robbery, where Mrs. A. Nicolaisen positively identi'
tied this man, Michael Ryan, as the man that had just
held her up and took $153 in currency and silver from
the cash register. Michael Ryan admitted taking the
money. Michael Ryan was confronted by Miss Carrie
Montgomery and she positively identified him as the man
who had entered the Morrow Nut Shop, 954 Market St.,
on August 9th, 1946, with his hand in his pocket, simulat-
ing a gun, and when Miss C. Montgomery and Miss Anita
Toth recognised him as the man who held them up on
two previous occasions with a gun, they both screamed
and Ryan ran out into Market St., and disappeared into
the crowd. The money taken in the robbery at 16 Taylor
($153) was recovered on Ryan. He admitted committing
seven holdups in this city. I respectfully recommend that
these officers be commended for their alertness and atten-
tion to duty in connection with the promptness in making
this arrest and recovering the money stolen, also in ap-
prehending a holdup man who was badly wanted by this
department.
"I respectfully call your attention to the e.xcellent police
work performed by Officers Robert Brown, William C.
Sullivan and John I. Toomey, in the arrest of Domingo
Valin and Robert Hobbs for violating Section 5 of the
Gun Yaw, Suspicious of 245 Penal Code, Vagrancy

pistol, respectively, both fully loaded.
"At 11:45 p. m., August 7, these officers arrested the
above men at No. 243 Mason Street, on the above charges.
Prior to the arrest, the defendants were observed entering
the Club Irisher, both acting in a suspicious manner.
Hobbs walked to the rear of the premises and Valin
remained in the front, after both looked around and
then walked out. They then walked north on Mason
Street, and entered the 39'ers Bar. They stood away
from the bar and were engaged in conversing with each
other. As Officers Sullivan and Toomey advanced and
identified themselves as Police Officers, Hobbs ran toward
the rear of the premises and Officer Toomey followed
him into the lavatory. Hobbs attempted to draw an object
from the front of his shirt and Officer Toomey subdued
him and took from his inner shirt, one Smith i^ Wesson
38 cal. revolver, which was loaded with five shells. At
the time Hobbs walked toward the rear, Valin immediately
walked toward the front exit and Officer W. C. Sullivan
followed him. Valin bent over, with his head toward the
floor and drew his hands over the outside of his pants
in an upward motion, and then reached toward his waist
band, when Oificer Sullivan noticed a butt of a gun
protruding from Valin's waist.

"I respectfully call your attention to the prompt and

and Carl A. Christiansen, Taraval Police District, as
follows :
"At 8:41 p. m., Thursday, August 22nd, 1946, these
officers responded to 1714 32nd Avenue, where Mrs. Zel
Kahn informed them that her son, Scott A. Kahn, age
one month, was lying on the bed, dead. Officer Hartman
immediately investigated the condition of the infant and
found it lying on its back, apparently dead. He picked
it up and placed it on its stomach and applied artificial
respiration for twenty minutes, until the infant was resus'
citated. Officer Christiansen, in the meantime had notified
the Park Emergency Hospital and their ambulance re-
sponded, taking the resuscitated infant to their hospital for
further treatment. I respectfully request that you com-
mend these two officers for the prompt action they took
in this case, which, no doubt saved the life of the infant.

DEPARTMENT SHOOT ENDS
By E. J. DuTiL
October, 1946
The climax of Sports History's greatest shooting season
begins to unfold at 1 :00 P. M., Wednesday, November 27,
at the Lake Merced lead dispensary plant with the ex-
plosive MISSION'S still 1 to 1000 favorites to atomize all
contending teams. This match bids fair to be one of the
bitterest fought contests of the season, as team and indi-
vidual competitors ready themselves for the Grand Finale
in which they hope and pray to shoot their way into the
winning column. The interest and enthusiasm displayed,
and the exceptionally high scores shot in previous matches
is a fair indication as to what can be expected. It is inter-
esting to note that the MISSION warriors have piled up
a Grand Aggregate Score of 6179, placing them 80 points
above their nearest competitor; and it may also be of
interest to point out that this same outfit fired a sizzling
score of 154^ in their last match to establish a new high
record in team scores.
The outstanding individual revolver performer for the
year can safely be named by the total score of 1591 fired
in the past four matches. This distinction as well as the
Department Championship goes to Karl Schaugaard. Jack
Ahem who was leading Karl by 1 point, eliminated himself
as a contender for the championship by being unable
to participate in the last match.
Karl holds his lead by a comfortable margin of 23
points. Not so comfortable is the position of the next
three shooters for second place. In fact its occupants
find it to be a hot seat. Only 3 points separate these con-
tenders. Ray Harrison leads with a scant 2 points with
1 568, with Griff Thompson holding a 1 point advantage
with a 1566 over the next red hot contender in the person
of "Hard-Rock" Harrigan, who has 1565. It will only
be with the last shot fired that this place can be called
with certainty. Gather 'round, boys, you have not seen
a real case of jitters yet, not until you have seen the ones
these fellows are going to have.
Never in the history of the Police Department has there
been anything comparable to the sensational shooting by
members of the San Francisco Police Department at the
Lake Merced Police Range during the past year. On the
range no one really cares whether the match is fired on
Wednesday or whether it begins at 10:00, 1:00 or 3:00.
Truth to tell, few really care who the man is who tops
his classification, unless he is a team mate.

COMMENDATORY LETTERS TO CHIEF DULLEA
The following communications have been received by
Chief Charles W. Dullea:
On behalf of the Shrine Victory Convention Com-
mittee, I wish to express to you, and through you to the
men of your department, our very sincere appreciation
for the splendid and outstanding manner in which the
police problems were handled. The courteous treatment
to our visitors was commented upon to me by many of
our outstanding representatives. The orderliness of the
crowd during the parades and in congregated areas was
a tribute to your department. Thanking you at all times
for your cooperation with us in every request made and
for the splendid service rendered, we are,
Shrine Victory Committee, Inc.
How.\RD M. McKiNLEY, Dir. Gen.
* * *
On behalf of the Officers and Members of the San
Francisco Fire Department, I wish to thank you and the
members of your organization for your participation in
the funeral rites held on August 2, 1946, for our four
comrades who sacrificed their lives to the service in con-
nection with the disastrous Herbert Hotel fire in this
city on July 30, 1946. Your generous cooperation helped
materially to increase the impressiveness of our cere-
monies and we are deeply grateful to you.
Signed: M.iiRTiN J. Kearns,
Acting Chief Engineer,
San Francisco Fire Department.
* * *
A few weeks ago through very clever police work on
the part of Inspectors Joe Engler and Ray O'Brien of
the Pawnshop Squad, we not only discovered one of our
employees had been robbing us but through the excellent
work of these two inspectors, also recovered practically
all of the merchandise that was stolen. I want you to
know that we greatly appreciate the efforts of these men
and the very fine police work that was done in this con-
nection. With best wishes, I am,
J. H. KiLLOUGH, Dist. Mgr.,
L. E. Waterman Co.
* * *
May I take this opportunity of thanking you for the
courtesy shown and the hospitality extended to our Pistol
Team while attending the far Western and Regional
Championship matches held in your city last month. All
of our shooters who were fortunate enough to attend
your matches were high in their praise of the sports-
manlike attitude of your team as well as the efficient
manner in which the firing line was conducted. If you
should elect to send a representative pistol team of your
department to any future matches held in Los Angeles,
we shall attempt to return your many favors in like
measure. /-> r> u
C. B. HORRALL,
Chief of Police. L. A.. Calif.
On behalf of the Labor Day Committee for the San
Francisco CIO Council, I wish to thank you for your
cooperation on Labor Day in having the Police Depart-
ment clear the streets for the parade. We appreciate the
services rendered by Captain John Engler of your staff
and the men of your department, and only regret that
we have been delayed in writing to thank you.
Paul Schnuur, Chairmdn
CIO Labor Day Committee.
* * *
With a feeling of deep gratitude, I take pleasure in
commending Captain George M. Healy, and the oflScers
of his detail for the splendid work in connection with
the Firemen's Benefit Performance at the Fox Theater on
September 18, 1946. Your fine cooperation in this
worthy affair and the efficient manner in which your
men performed their duties, elicited many deserved com-
pliments and it also will serve to further enhance the
good will and friendship between our departments.

LT. COMDR. PAUL DEVINE
OUT OF NAVY
Lieutenant Commander Paul H. Devine has resumed
charge of his Devine National Detective Agency, at 1286
California street after nearly five years of Shore Patrol
work in the U. S. Navy.
Paul Devine, who has 25 years of experience in investi-
gating work on this coast, is a native San Franciscan, and
Lt. Comdr. Paul Devine
as a side activity he has been active in Navy affairs since
1917, when he joined the U. S. Navy reserve.
His mastering of things marine caused him to be called
into active duty in November, 1941, and he was in-
structed to organize a shore patrol for the entire 12th
Naval District.
He personally selected the site and designed the Patrol
Headquarters at 646 Clay street and under his direction
there operated a force of patrolmen who covered ever)'
area of this city.
At the end of 1944 he left San Francisco and reported
to the Commander of the South Atlantic Force as senior
Patrol Officer of the Fourth Fleet. After making a cruise
on a seaplane tender he arrived at Washington, D. C,
where he served with the Potomac River Command, fol-
lowed by a transfer to Florida as District Patrol Officer
of the Seventh Naval District, and this summer he re-
turned to San Francisco where he has been placed on
the inactive list of the U. S. Naval Reserve.
Lieutenant Commander Devine worked harmoniously
with the peace officers of the area and made many friends
among them in all ranks and his detective agency is one
of the better ones of this city.

Minutes of Meeting on August 8, 1946.
The Northern California PoHce Communication Officers
Association held their regular monthly meeting in Santa
Cruz at the City Hall Council Chambers on August 8,
1946. Our host was Walter Keller. The minutes of the
previous meeting were read and approved. George Burton
reported on the success of the annual Ladies Night held
in Martinez on July 20th and that almost everyone went
home with a prize of some sort. Due to vacation time the
turnout was not as large as planned but with the excellent
cooperation of the manufacturers representatives and
wholesalers, everyone enjoyed a fine evening with plenty
of thick steaks, lots of dancing and pictures of the entire
group. On a motion by Jim Lewis and seconded by
Henri Kirby the payment of bills for the party were
authorized.
A letter from the California Police Radio Association
was read giving the disposition of the funds remaining
after the joint meeting held in Los Angeles on April 26th
and 27th and as chairman of the committee, Lieut. W. H.
Durham was instructed by the CPRA to send the
NCPCOA a check for the proper amount. The thanks
of the members to the CPRA were expressed and on
motion from George Burton and seconded by John
Maybee, the money, amounting to $164 was deposited in
the bank and earmarked for use at the next joint meet-
ing to be held in 1947.
Letters were read from the California Highway Patrol,
the Sheriff of Glenn County and the Sheriff of Alameda
County requesting frequency clearances. These were re-
ferred to the frequency committee for study and recom-
mendation. The report from the APCO Secretary was
read and the pertinent points stressed. Of particular in-
terest was the attitude of the FCC on the use of 150
mc channels for new installations. A teletype message
from our absent member. Brewer McMurphy, was read
by George Burton and advised that FCC has allotted 36
specific police channels in the 72 - 76 mc band with 40 kc
separation starting at 73.18 ms to 84.58 mc.
The meeting was recessed for luncheon and at that
time the visiting guests were introduced. E. W. Geyer of
the Santa Cruz police department represented the Chief
of Police who was unable to attend. Our other guests
were G. J. Para of the San Francisco Fire Department,
and Walt Herrington, Jr., who has just returned to civilian
life after serving with the Navy. Mott Brunton spoke
further on the status of AN/TRC equipment and advised
that he would do all possible to assist in obtaining surplus
equipment as it became available. Jack Maxwell stated
that Motorola was going to make deliveries of equipment
soon and while his partner had given the Motorola dona-
tion for the party, he stated that he covered the amount
afterwards — this ended our teasing Maxwell. Jack Berlich
of Salinas reported on the operation of his new repeater
and is now getting full county coverage over difficult ter-
rain. An interesting discussion was held by the members
on the possibility of using parasitic antenna's on mountain
tops for bending signals and experiments on this are in-
tended in the near future by Merrill LeBoeuf and John
Maybee.
Upon recommendation from the frequency committee,
the members granted by vote, frequency clearances as
follows: Sheriffs Office, Glenn County, clearance for 3
mobile units, 30 watts power on 39,380 kcs, California
Highway Patrol clearance for the erection of a new 500
watt land station at Alturas, Modoc County on 1690 kcs,

in the 70-100 mc band was temporarily tabled to permit
further study before recommendation. Walt Harrington
bid for the next meeting to be held again at the H fe? H

also told us that the beer and cokes at the last meeting at
the H 6? H Ranch were donated by Sheriff McGrath of

"Officer James Cox, Jr., recovered a lost purse and
noting my name in the same, called me with the result
that the purse, which contained Navy passes and I. D.
Cards, as well as currency, was returned to the owner
promptly, eliminating embarrassment. I believe that Officer
Cox is to be commended in the expedient return of the
purse, and especially due to the fact that it also con-
tained currency. As we are all prone to criticize an officer
of the law, I am of the opinion that when cases like this
arise that proved the honesty of Officer Cox, commenda-
tion should be given. I have never met Officer Cox, and
am prompted to write this letter only as an appreciation
of his act, which reflects favorably on your efforts to
operate the department on a high standard.

"Please accept my deepest appreciation and thanks for
your services in connection with the Army Day Celebra-

and the Army.

Police Praised for Shrine Convention Service
San Francisco has through the years built up a great
reputation as a convention city, and one of the units of
the city's government that has done much to achieve this
reputation is the PoHce Department. Not only have the
members of the force gone all out to give every kind of
service to the visiting hordes, but they have kept the
town free from predatory crooks who follow great gath-
erings. But the thing that stands out in the minds of
those who have seen big conventions, featuring parades,
is the manner the Police Department handles this ever
popular feature of any such event held in this city. The
hoys who protect life, limb and liberty get all parades
through without any delays.
The way San Francisco policemen perform under the
impetus of crowd drawing conventions has been taken as
a matter of course and but few go out of their way to
give the men the credit due them. The first big con-
vention to be held since the war end was the Shriners
conclave that brought tens of thousands of visitors to
this city. Never did the police do so well in keeping down
crime ; being courteous to the many guests of the city and
handling two mammoth parades. Their splendid service
brought from the Board of Supervisors official recognition.
Supervisor Chester McPhee introduced the following
resolution and it was unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, These delegates and their friends held
delegates to the national convention of the Ancient Arabic
Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine ; and
WHEREAS, These delegates and their friends held
many affairs which were outstanding in the field of color
and entertainment; and
WHEREAS, Two parades were held during the con-
vention period which caused the assemblage of more than
one-half million spectators along the lines of march; and
WHEREAS, San Francisco in order, to preserve its fine
reputation of being a city of fun and good fellowship
was compelled to call upon the Police Department in order
that every facility would be afforded our visitors and
guests in making their stay pleasant; and
WHEREAS, The Police Department did carry out its
assignment with courtesy, efficiency, and dispatch, and
did effectively police the lines of parade and all other
points of activity during said convention; and
WHEREAS, Our police officers did forego their normal
watches off and their ordinary working hours so that the
fullest co-operation possible would be given to the con-
vention delegates and their friends; and
WHEREAS, Not only did the regular members of
said Police Department do a splendid job during the said
convention, but that fine organization known as the San
Francisco Police Reserve did join with the regular police
officers in performing an outstanding service for San
Francisco; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Board of Supervisors hereby
requests his Honor the Mayor, Roger D. Lapham, to
commend the Police Commission, the Chief of Police,
and the members of the Police Department, including the
members of the San Francisco Police Reserve, for the
splendid contribution made by them in preserving and
enhancing the reputation of San Francisco as being the
world's greatest convention city.
Adopted — Board of Supervisors, San Francisco, Au-
gust 5, 1946.
Ayes: Supervisors Brown, Christopher, Colman, Gal-
lagher, Lewis, Mancuso, McMurray, Meyer, Sullivan.

State Peace Officers Meet in San Diego
The annual convention of the State Peace Officers'
Association of California will be held this year in San
Diego. The meeting will convene on October 21 for a
three-day program. The sessions uill be held in the U. S.
Grant Hotel. This is the lirst Southern California meet
Shebjff George Overholt
the Association has held since 1938 when it met in
San Diego.
Secretar>''Treasurer James Drew has worked with Chief
Clifford C. Peterson of San Diego, host of the convention,
in getting up a iine program, covering every phase of
Law Enforcement, and some able speakers have been
obtained for the convention.
Governor Earl Warren ■w.'ill head the list of notables
who Villi address the gathering. Attorney General Robert
Kenny, P. D. Halverson, State Director of Public Health,
District Attorney Edmund Brown, of San Francisco, Dis-
trict Attorney Fred Howser of Los Angeles, T. L.
Chidester of the Alcoholic Department of the Internal
Revenue, Judge W. B. McKesson of Los Angeles, a direc-
tor of the Youths Authority, T. F. Todds of the Los
Angeles branch of the National Auto Theft Bureau, and
FBI Chief Special Agent Fred Kimble of San Francisco
representing Director John Edgar Hoover and Chief
Charles Dullea are among those who v.-ill take pare in
this meeting.
Owing to illness veteran James T. Drew the secretary-
treasurer will be unable to attend this year's meet, the
first he has missed since the founding of the Association
over 2^ years ago. this will cause a lot of regret from
the half thousand peace officers who will attend, for no
man ever was more popular with those charged \\'ith en-
forcing our laws than Oakland's former Chief.
William E. Schoppe, who for years has rendered in-
valuable aid to peace officers of the western states as head
of the National Auto Theft Bureau, will act as secretary-
treasurer.
Chief Howard Zink of Palo Alto will head a panel
discussion on "Improving Police Standards," and Deputy
Sheriff John Greeening, of Alameda, will handle a panel
taking up the all-important subject of two-way radio.
Sheriff George Overholt, of Fresno, will preside and
he will have a full delegation of leading peace officers
from Northern California.

OFFICER SAVES INFANT'S LIFE
Artificial respiration quickly applied by a San Fran-
cisco policeman saved the life of a ten weeks old baby
here last month.
Scott, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Zel Kahn of 1714
Thirty-second Avenue, was near death from a coughing
spell when neighbors summoned police from the Taraval
station.
Radio Patrolman Eugene Hartman, after applying arti-
ficial respiration, succeeded in reviving the baby within
fifteen minutes.
After being given further treatment at Park Emergency
Hospital, the child was removed to the University of
California Hospital, where it was said that the first
aid administered by Patrolman Hartman had saved the
baby's life.

The Better Business Bureau recently warned housewives
to be on the lookout for the winsome Irish lassie peddling
fake Irish lace and the brawny Irish lad who offers to
repair roofs. According to the Bureau, they are members
of the well-known Williamson gang of fake peddlers who
have victimized housewives all over the country for
many years.
The Bureau has reason to beheve that members of the
gang came to San Francisco a few days ago from Port-
land, where the usual run of complaints resulted from
their brief sojourn in that community.

(Continued from Page 7)
There was one murder and one attempted murder and
they were cleared 100 per cent.
Auto thefts continue to increase and Chief Brown is
having his trouble about traffic law violations but he is
way down on the national average for fatalities.
Besides Captains Strough and Blackmore there are three
other Captains who take charge of the respective three
patrol shifts per day. They are Captains Thomas Short,
M. A. Hornbeck and Bart Collins and they contribute
their share to keeping San Jose a safe city to live in.
Captain Blackmore will round out 1 7 years as a member
of the Police Department. He was appointed a sergeant
in March 1938 and was promoted to a captaincy in
November, 1943, and was the first commissioned officer
to head the Detective Bureau, and in this spot he has done
a swell job, as has all the other commissioned and non-
commissioned officers of the Department.
Chief Brown during his 28 months tenure as San
Jose's Police Chief merits the support of the residents so
the city and its city council which has been demonstrated
so forcibly during the past year.

Post -War Inter-Police Cooperation
Address at Last Meeting of International Association..of Police
By Brig. Gen. Ramon Jimenez Delg.ado, Chief of Police of Mexico City.
It is indeed a privilege and a great honor for me to
bring you the greetings of the President of the Mexican
Republic, General Manuel Avila Camacho, who sincerely
hopes that this Convention will meet with complete success
for the well being of the American Nations.
We happen to live through the hardest and most tragic
days in the history of Humanity. For the second time in
this century, the World has been involved in a tremendous
conflagration, only because three Nations wished to destroy
the most precious gift to humanity : Liberty.
Millions of men gave their lives in order that the
United Nations might be victorious and in order that the
common ideals for future generations might be preserved.
May I be allowed to render sincere homage to the memory
of the soldiers of this great country who fell on the battle
field and particularly to the memory of the late President
Franklin D. Roosevelt who passed away leaving a glow
of light in a page of glory.
We start living now through the hard and complicated
period of the Post- War, wishing to consolidate a lasting
peace and it is up to us to study the difficult and im-
portant problems of delinquency during this period, in
order to preserve safety within society and so the Law,
which is the Instrument of rule and government and the
index of civism and progress of Nations, may prevail.
War has been useful for the progress of science and has
served as a reactive to measure the quality and consist-
ency of the human beings, but, undoubtedly, in thousands
of persons it has produced a real breakdown of moral
values, and these are the ones who will constitute the
dangerous criminality of the Post- War Period.
Due to the brevity of this speech, I am not analyzing in
detail the sociological and psychological causes which will
increase delinquency, but it is logical to assure that
amongst others there will be an increase in four types of
crime: Sexual, those against health, against the life and
integrity of human beings, and against the property.
Violations and rape; narcotics traffic; hold-ups and
homicide; burglary; larceny; fraud, theft; these will be
the main crimes which the police must prevent, investigate
and repress. In order to accomplish this, it is absolutely
necessary for the police to overpower the technique, the
means, and the sagacity of criminals and also build a
real and indestructible cooperation among all Police Or-
ganizations.
— II —
After stating a general lay-out of the delinquency
problems we must study the manner in which the authori-
ties must face its solution from two points of view: that
of the police and the judicial. We will not analyze the
measures to be taken regarding social assistance, economics,
and other problems which, though pertaining to the solu-
tion of the social problems do not have an exact connec-
tion with this study.
Police cooperation must be founded upon three essen-
tial points, if we wish to obtain positive results in the
fight against delinquency.
1. Full respect and fulfillment of our Constitutions and
International Treaties.
2. Mutual aid between Police Institutions so that
through all the means within their power, no criminal may
escape without being punished by the authorities of the
country where he has committed a crime.
3. Whole improvement of Police Organizations.
Our Constitution, as a political instrument, only deter-

mines the type of Government of the Nation, the indi-
vidual guarantees and the juridical orientations, but it is
up to the common laws to define precisely how far the
constitutional precepts must reach, and with respect to the
precepts contained in the Criminal Laws the Mexican
Police takes the liberty of recommending that all Police
Organisations represented here, if deemed advisable, point
out those amendments which they consider necessary in
order to be the better enabled to fight against future
delinquency.
Consequently, within the bounds of complete respect to
our Laws and Treaties, and in order to tighten the ex-
istent bonds of inter-police cooperation, I beg to be al-
lowed to propose the following:
(a) All Police Organizations represented here, shall
have a constant exchange of their knowledge and ex-
perience.
(b) In the case of international criminals, notice shall
he given to all Police Institutions, keeping them advised
of the results obtained in the investigation of those cases.
(c) An increase in the exchange of criminal records
and fingerprints.
(d) All Secret Police agents, upon due identification,
may cross freely our boundaries and receive all possible
assistance regarding the capture and delivery of criminals.
(e) In compliance with the terms of Extraditions
Treaties, the Mexico City Police Department offers its
friendly assistance to expedite the proceedings regarding
such cases, in order to secure the delivery of such criminals
as requested by foreign Police or Courts of Justice.
It is only logical to suppose that the Post- War delin-
quency will be more dangerous in view of its possible
preparation, both material and intellectual, and in order
to combat it effectively, we must fight for an integral im-
provement of all Police.
It is necessary that the Police Forces throughout our
Continent be transformed, into real scientific organizations,
in order to cooperate through their technical knowledge
and laboratory facilities with the routine police. This is
fundamental because criminals in the Post- War Period
will use, as means to commit crime, scientific elements
meant for the march of Progress and Civilization. Not
only the present means of communication, but every
product of the World's progress will be used in the ad-
vancement of crime, and to the techriique used by crim-
inals we must oppose the Police technique, if we wish to
fight them effectively.

OAKLAND'S SHOOTING RANGE
(Continued from Page 6)
Besides the outdoor range course the department main-
tains an in-training course in the basement of the Oak-
land city hall. This latter course embraces all phases of
police procedure and is entirely a classroom affair, a
brush-up course that keeps the officers on their toes.
Patrolman Harry Craio
In charge of loading the guns he instructs the men in the proper
way to handle the sawed-off shotgun.
During the training and match periods 40 men daily
are handled.
Lieutenant of Inspectors Cliff Hatch, himself an expert
shot and in his knowledge of all kinds of firearms used
by the police department, is in charge of the firearms
training of the force.
Then there is Inspector Hubert W. Murray, range
officer, and the department's machine-gun expert.

ALCATRAZ ESCAPE-PROOF
(Continued from Page 10 J
details of how he introduced the plaster head into the
cell block, and concealed it while there, have been for-
gotten but needless to state he accomplished this feat.
There was a concrete tunnel under construction, ex'
tending from the Island power plant to the jail building,
which was being built to cover steam and water pipes.
This tunnel is about four and one-half or five feet high
and possibly that wide. In the tunnel he had secreted
civilian clothing which he had stolen from the prison
tailor shop, and other places on the Island. He had also
placed a cement bucket filled with water, and a cake of
soap in this miniature subway. The day before he decided
to escape he dropped the rope ladder through the venti'
lator shaft, fastening one end of it to the top with its
iron hooks. He concealed the ladder in the ventilator, and
had it so arranged that a piece of string held it in place,
one end of which extended to the top of the cell block.
Before supper the next evening he arranged the dummy
on the cot in his cell, and after he had finished his meal
he eluded the vigilance of the overseers on the floor,
climbed the stairs to an unoccupied portion of the third
tier, then climbed on top of the tier, where he concealed
himself by lying flat near one of the large blowers which
supplied fresh air to the cell house, and in such position
that he could get hold of the string dangling from the
rope ladder. That evening there was a moving picture
show held in the assembly room for first class prisoners.
This show began at eight o'clock, and during the time
those who were to view the picture were being marched
to their places in the assembly room — the footsteps of
the marching prisoners, and the commands of the overseers
caused an unusual amount of noise; while this activity'
was in progress he pulled the rope ladder down, and
ascended to the roof of the building, then brought the
ladder up through the ventilator so that its presence
would not be detected. He remained on the roof until
after taps at eleven o'clock, then made his way to the
ground by means of a six-inch water pipe which extended
from the dock to reservoirs on top of the prison building.
This part of the proceedings required plenty of nerve
tor two reasons, the first because the distance from the

roof to the pavement below is about sixty feet, and a slip
would mean death or the hospital. The second, because a
sentry with a riot gun passed this point every few minutes,
and a man in dark clothing silhouetted against the light
color of the cement would have presented a most favor-
able target for even a poor shot with a shotgun, and not
many of the guard company could be classed as such.
However, luck was with him, and he managed to make
his way through the partly completed tunnel to the power
house exit. Here he reached that level upon which the
laundry, shop buildings, guard company barracks, etc., are
located. When he emerged from the tunnel, he walked
toward the power plant. The soldier on duty there saw
him, and asked him what he was doing at that part of
the island after taps, as no one but members of the guard
were allowed in that vicinity. He stated that he had just
arrived on Alcatraz as a replacement for the guard com-
pany, also that he had not as yet heard of the order
making that part of the island "out of bounds" at night.
He thanked the man at the power plant for the in-
formation, and moved off in the direction of the guard
company barracks. While he was holding this conversa-
tion, the eleven o'clock launch landed and several of the
garrison who had been to San Francisco in civilian clothing
disembarked and proceeded to their quarters in the build-
ing. He took advantage of this movement, walked past
the barracks, and descended a more or less tree covered
slope to the rocky beach where he remained hidden.
Several days before this attempt, he had been doing
some cement work adjacent to the beach, and in fabricat-

ing the concrete, a wood and steel trough about four feet
wide by six feet long and shaped like a duck hunter s
punt was used. This gave him the idea of his means of
transportation from the island, though he had previously
planned to swim, and chance being picked up by a ferry
boat. Here again his luck held out, as the trough was in
a position close to the water's edge. With little effort he
launched it. For his means of propulsion he "borrowed"
a long handled shovel from an unlocked toolhouse and
set sail.
He stated that all went well until he neared a ferry.
Its wash swept the makeshift oar from his hands. Then
the waves from the wake of the boat caused his convey-
ance to take water and sink. The crew of the ferry had
not heard his call for help, and it proceeded on its way.
He continued to call until he was finally picked up by
the launch Alcatraz.
He admitted that luck was with him during the entire
escapade, and while the island authorities admired his
courage and resourcefulness, Army Regulations required
them to sentence him to confinement for another year for
leaving the disciplinary barracks without authority.
He, with others, later became involved in a more serious
breach of discipline, and was sent to McNeil's Island.
Bars were placed in the ventilators which served as
means of egress from the cell blocks. As the investigation
of the escape disclosed one or two weaknesses in the dispo'
sition of posts of the guard, this was rectified, and during
the remainder of the time that the writer was stationed
on Alcatraz no other inmate attempted to emulate the
performance of "the Citizen from Oakland."
It is to be hoped that the foregoing will not create the
impression that the disciplinary barracks was carelessly or
inefficiently administered, such was not the case. Over
a period of four years, there were but two complete
escapes from the island. One, in which three prisoners
got away on the night of a boxing bout, and the other in
which one man left on a boat which was docked at Al'
catraz on business. This was accomplished with the con-
nivance of Filipino members of the boat's crew. Of the
three who escaped during the fight two were recaptured
later.
The inmate who departed by boat was shot and killed
by a special police officer in a city in Michigan.
In view of such a record, it was only by a remarkable
chain of favorable circumstances that the escape of 052
was made possible, as others who tried invariably failed.

BAY COUNTIES IDENTIFICATION
OFFICERS' ASSOCIATION
The August meeting of the Bay Counties Identification
Officers' Association was held in Albany with Chief S. C.
Williams of that city and Inspector R. J. Sherry of the
Berkeley Police Department as hosts. Following the
precedent of the Association of making the member who
is throwing the party for the monthly meetings the presid-
ing officer Inspector Sherry handled this feature of the
session which was held in Helen's Tavern. Here Chief
Williams did a fine job in providing a swell dinner for
the half hundred members present.
The principal speaker of this session was Inspector Al
Riedel, of the Berkeley Police Department, and an au-
thority on the lie detector, which was first perfected in
Berkeley, and is used extensively in many police depart-
ments and law enforcement agencies throughout the
nation.
Inspector Riedel bluntly stated that the lie detector was
good only for interrogations and then only in the hands
of an expert in questioning a suspect and was not ad-
missible in a court of law. The Detector, he stressed, is
not infallible, yet it has contributed in untold cases of
getting confessions from men and women suspected of
committing crimes.
He recited an instance of an Oakland Department Store
that was having a series of thefts which is felt was by an
employee. They appealed to the Berkeley Police Depart'
ment for help and Inspector Riedel was assigned to make
a test of some 200 employees. By eliminating many of
these he finally found that there was not one but three
who were guilty of pilfering from the store, all three
broke down and confessed their thievery.
Another interesting case was that of a murder in Kings
county. Two men were in custody as suspects. One
though the least to have committed the crime couldn't
stand the test and finally told Riedel to call in the Sheriff
to whom he made a full confession.
The speaker had a machine with him and gave a demon-
stration of how it works.
It might be stated here that Chief Charles W. DuUea
has allotted sufficient money to Criminologist Francis X.
Latulipe to purchase a lie detector for the San Francisco
Police Department. Berkeley, which has the only one in
this section of the state and is so filled with requests for
the use of these machines that the Department cannot
render prompt service to neighboring Departments.
The members were invited to hold the September meet-
ing in Stockton where Deputy SheriiF Michael Canlis
promised a worthwhile meeting.

ASSISTANT CHIEF CARTER
OF SAN JOSE
Sergeant J. M. Carter has been given the new rank of
Assistant Chief of PoHce, created this summer by the
city council of San Jose.
No finer selection could have been made as his legion
friends in San Jose and surrounding country will attest.
Assistant Chief Carter with 20 years service behind
Assistant Chief ]. M. Carter
him as a police officer is an enthusiastic and an intelligent
enforcer of the law. He mastered all the fundamentals
of his calling from the start of his police career, and for
a number of years was in the identification bureau. In
May, 1937, he won a promotion to the rank of sergeant
and was appointed secretary to former Chief J. N. Black.
In this position he handled the myriad of details that pass
through the Chief's office. He was always courteous and
had the police business of San Jose at the tip of his fingers.
When Chief Brown was taken ill last spring he put
Sergeant Carter in charge of the Department and for
four months he handled the job like a veteran Chief of
Police. So well did he do his work that Chief Brown
started proceeding toward having a new post created in
his department, that of Assistant Chief of Police, and
the city council agreed with his arguments and passed
the necessary legislation to make the new post possible.
Chief Brown then presented the name of his secretary
and thus Sergeant Carter was jumped to the newly created
rank of Assistant Chief of Police.
San Jose first Assistant Chief of Police is married,
having wed Miss Edna Thompson on March 1, 1924, and
they have three children, two daughters and a son.

Golden Gate Advertising Course
Mr. Townsend, in announcing the new fall courses on
behalf of the San Francisco Advertising Club, presents a
word of counsel to prospective advertising students: "Ad'
vertising is every kind of business — more than that, it is
every phose of every kind of business. If you want to go
into advertising, first select a business you like and then
study advertising to promote that business." Mr. Town-
send says that this is the opportunity that will be made
available to young men and women in the 1946 fall ad-
vertising courses.
The 1946 fall schedule of the School of Advertising has
been developed by the cooperation of Nagel T. Miner,
Director of Golden Gate College, and Julian Randolph,
Advertising and Research Consultant, who is serving as
Coordinator for the School of Advertising.
According to an announcement of Lou E. Townsend,
President of the San Francisco Advertising Club, which
sponsors the School of Advertising at Golden Gate Col'
lege, the 1946 fall advertising courses, commencing in
mid-September, will include Advanced Copy Writing, in
addition to originally scheduled courses in General Ad'
vertising. Advertising Media and Advertising Production.
The new course in Advanced Copy Writing will be
limited to students, who are especially qualified by reason
of experience in advertising work or through education.
According to the decision of a special committee acting
for the San Francisco Advertising Club, one advertising
firm will be asked to direct the course for a single session.
For the 1946 fall session, Foote Cone (i Belding have con'
sented to take on the project, which will be directed by
Herbert K. Reynolds, VicC'President and Resident Man-
ager of their San Francisco office. The special committee
which has developed plans for the Copy Writing course
thus far includes Lois Ingalls, Advertising Manager of The
White House; Harrison T. McClung, Assistant Pacific
Coast Manager of J. Walter Thompson Company; and
Herbert K. Reynolds, Vice-President and Resident Man-
ager of Foote Cone fe? Belding.

BENICIA, CALIF.
The Brewery, one of California's oldest
bars and land marks, which was known to
so many of the well-known celebrities of by-
gone days, suffered a disastrous fire two years
ago, recently rebuilt on an elaborate scale
at great cost, now engaged in serving its cus-
tomers the finest in Liquors, Cocktails, Wines,
Beer and the most select foods obtainable.
The Brewery was founded in 1846, still
located on the same site after 100 years, it
has been visited by some of the great cham-
pions of the world such as James J. Corbett,
Tom Sharkey and many others of great
renown.
The walls of the Brewery are decorated
with famous paintings which include one of
Chief Salano greeting the white settlers, also
pictures of William L Tustin and sons, who
built first adobe dwellings in Benicia; one
of Dr. Robert Semple, who was one of the
pioneers and founder of Benicia, also many
others of great historical interest.
So when in Benicia visit the Brewery and
enjoy the atmosphere and old time hospitality
of a great place.

The Claw-Hammer Burglars
Ch.-\s. W. Dulle.^, Chief of Police
Burglaries are numerically — and from a money loss
point of view — the outstanding crime confronting metro-
politan police departments. Automobile thefts run a close
second to burglaries; but here the comparison ends ab-
ruptly. Over 90 per cent of automobile thefts are
"closed.' The automobile, on recovery, may be "stripped,"
repainted — or even totally wrecked; but the reported theft
is "closed," as far as police records are concerned.
Chief Charles W. Dulle.\
In a city like San Francisco reported burglaries average
over two hundred per month, divided about equally be-
tween residence burglaries and the burglaries of stores,
offices, et cetera.
Considering the various kinds of burglaries brings to
mind the fact that burglars, too, form different groups —
store, office, residence, warehouse, et cetera.
In San Francisco our burglar>' detail generally classes
burglars according to their particular "modus operandi."
Thus, of recent years, we have had "The Barefoot Burg-
lar," "The Funeral Burglar," "The V Burglar," et cetera.
Yes, no matter how many hours e.x-convicts have spent
in prison comparing notes and making plans, when pa-
roled, to commit bigger and better and safer burglaries,
they all eventually follow a definite plan. And following
this definite pattern leads trained police officers directly
to their lair with the consequent conviction and return
to the penitentiary^
Take the case of "The Funeral Burglar." He was caught
because our burglary detail officers also read the funeral
notices m the daily papers. "The V Burglar," when ar-
rested, had in his possession the "jimmy" which had left
a letter V mark on so many San Francisco rifled homes.
Speaking of "The V Burglar" brings to mind the fact
of "The Claw Hammer Burglar," of exactly one year ago.
This case is mentioned because it exemplifies the very
best — both from a burglar and from a police point of view.
The burglar — but it later proved there were two of
them — ^had all the listed qualifications of a good burglar.
He had an eighteen year course in our San Francisco
County Jail, Walla Walla, San Quentin and Folsom
State Prisons. He was tall, dark and handsome, an excel-
lent dresser and had ice in his veins. This last mentioned
qualification was, strange to relate, his undoing.
Here is how it came about : While in San Quentin and
Folsom our debonair burglar formed a companionship
with a young burglar from Long Beach. They mutually
admitted their individual crudeness which had led to their
individual arrests and convictions for burglaries. They
planned to work as a first class team when paroled.
Their plans, on parole, worked perfectly. They did all
and anything a first class burglar could do. They really
had everything in their favor — youth, good looks and good
clothes, lots of courage, state prison lore on every phase
of burglar^"- and every means of disposing of burglarized
loot, also armor proof alibis in case of arrest. All his
preconceived plans failed with the exception of his alibi.
That, too, failed eventually, as we shall see. Both burg-
lars did, however, adhere strictly to the convict code of
admitting nothing when arrested. That is really the rea-
son why dozens of .San Francisco burgl.irics, definitely the
work of Benz and McClear>', show no property recovered
in pawnshops or elsewhere. Their arrest really did reveal
Page 4
POLICE AND PEACE OFFICERS" JOURNAL
T^ovemher, 1946
one factor in their modus operandi — a carton containing
an assortment of property taken in San Francisco burg'
laries was crated and addressed to a Long Beach address
— the address of McCleary.
In the matter of burglary modus operandi the follow-
ing factors are to be considered: . The type of structure
attacked — residence, store, et cetera. 2. The property —
money alone, money and jewelry, or liquor, furs, et cetera,
sought. Method of disposal — in pawnshops or through
so-called "Fences," et cetera. 4. Means of get-away — on
foot, by street car or automobile. ^. With or without ac-
complice or so-called lookout. 6. Committed during week
end, or while occupied, or at night time or afternoon or
evening. 7. Method of entrance — passkey, window, front
or rear do(,)r. S. Marks, fingerprints, et cetera, noticeable.
Really first class burglars aim at securing a definite class
of property and have considered the how and when of
securing such property with the minimum danger to them-
selves in so doing.
The irregular intervals a series of burglaries occur in San
Francisco. These burglaries may occur in stores, apartment
houses or residences.
From observation our burglary detail arrives at the con-
clusion such burglaries are the work of a professional
burglar or group, or of an individual burglar who seeks
money, drugs, et cetera. The mode of entry also gives an
index — as do burnt matches, cigarette butts, et cetera.
One year ago the police companies of our finest Ingle-
side, Taraval and Marina districts were on their toes seek-
ing the capture of a burglar who purloined expensive furs,
jewelry, et cetera, from the best homes in San Francisco.
Regularly the reports came to the Hall of Justice of such
homes being completely rifled. In one way they all fol-
lowed the same pattern. The complainants were not at
home when the burglaries were committed.
From this latter fact our detectives knew the burglar
or burglars "cased" the residences burglarized. They also
knew that this casing called for the use of an automobile.
Well, they say dead men tell no tales; and it is also said
that it is impossible to find a needle in a hay stack; but
both truisms were knocked sky high in the case of our San
Francisco swanky home burglaries.
The police departments of San Francisco and Long
Beach had vainly sought the arrest of the burglars who
had successfully looted the finest residences in both cities,
during the months of April and May, last year, but two
little slips caused their career of successful crime to end
in their third trip to Folsom Penitentiary.
Automobile tires are very scarce; and Lieutenant Peter
Fay of the United States Navy had the prudence to keep
the numbers of the tires on his automobile. His automobile
was stolen — and when found was thoroughly stripped. A
month later, on Ellis Street, in this city, the lieutenant saw
one of his tires on a parked machine and informed a traffic
officer. This led to the arrest of an ex-convict named Benz,
whose San Quentin and Folsom records were well known
at the Hall of Justice.
Being an ex-convict, Benz divulged nothing further than
that he bought the tire. He refused to give the name or
address of the person from whom he made the purchase.
But, being an ex-convict, and fearing his automobile num-
ber had been taken in connection with a recent burglary
in Richmond, he had actually reported to the Oakland
police the loss of his automobile. He also gave the Oak-
land police his name as Raymond Murray. Now, that par-
ticular name was one of the aliases used by an ex-convict
named Lawrence McCleary.
Our burglary detail brought McCleary from Long Beach
for the reason that in Benz' room was found a carton
addressed to McCleary and the additional reason that Benz
refused to account for the contents thereof. Other than
admitting that they had known each other in San Quen'
tin and Folsom Benz and McCleary would tell nothing.
The pair of burglars sprung a most unique defense.
They claimed that the goods found in Benz' room — as well
as Lieutenant Fay's automobile tire — had been purchased
by them from one John Denver. They even had a woman
come into court to swear she witnessed the sale and that
she heard John Denver say he wanted the money badly to
send to his sick wife.
This John Denver (real name, Validmer Ephinoff) had
a long prison record; and while Benz and McCleary were
awaiting trial, had been found dead in a hotel room on
Ellis Street. They thought the use of his name would be
quite an alibi. But they overlooked the fact that our in-
spectors are clever and industrious.
Lieutenant Fay had had Benz arrested. Benz had con-
nected himself with Long Beach and his pal McCleary. In
their plea they had connected themselves with the ex-
convict and "fence," John Denver. But our inspectors had
found a metal claw hammer in Benz" automobile that fitted
the marking on doors and windows in more than a dozen
burglarized San Francisco homes.
The jury saw the claw hammer, with one prong broken
off. They also saw the photographs of the marks on the
various doors and windows which corresponded to the
faulty claw hammer. They did not believe the story told
by the burglars and the lady bartender. Thus the d(X)rs of
Folsom prison have closed on Benz and McCleary for the
third time. ■

REMARKS OF J. EDGAR HOOVER, DIRECTOR
OF FBI, AT THE ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE
AMERICAN LEGION, SAN FRANCISCO, SEPT. 30
I accept the Distinguished Service Medal of the Ameri-
can Legion on behalf of my associates in the Federal
Bureau of Investigation who have made its achievements
possible. Bulwarking the men and women of the FBI are
the high hopes and expectations of the loyal Americans
whom we serve. The American Legion is a great force
Director John Edgar Hoover
for good in this nation. It exemplifies the traditions of
our country and is living testimony to the spirit of
America. I am happy to he here today to thank you of
the American Legion for the great aid and assistance you
have rendered the FBI over the years.
The record of your achievement is now history. Today,
there is a greater need than ever before for the
American Legion and its stabilizing force. We of the
FBI need your help now even more than during the war
years if the battle for a safe and secure America is to
be won. Our enemies are massing their forces on two
main fronts. One is the criminal front. Crime is increasing
daily; juvenile delinquency is shocking; lawlessness is
rampant. Wc are nearer to the days of gang control than
we were a year after World War I. Add to the forces
that account for a serious crime every twenty seconds,
day and night, the other encroaching enemy of America
and we have a formidable foe. I refer to the growing
menace of Communism in the United States.
During the past five years, American Communists have
made their deepest inroads upon our national life. In our
vaunted tolerance for all pct)plcs the Communist has found
our "Achilles' heel." The American Legion represents a
force which holds within its power the ability to expose
the hypocrisy and ruthlessness of this foreign "ism" which
has crept into our national life — an "ism" built and sup-
ported by dishonor, deceit, tyranny and a deliberate policy
of falsehood.
It is a matter of self-preservation. The veterans who
fought for America will be among the first to suffer if
the Communists succeed in carrying out their diabolical
plots to wreck the American way of life. The "Divide
and conquer" tactics did not die with Hitler — they are
being employed with greater skill today by American
Communists with their "boring from within" strategy.
Their propaganda, skillfully designed and adroitly exe-
cuted, has been projected into practically every phase of
our national life. The fact that the Communist Party
in the United States claims some 100,000 members has
lulled many Americans into a feeling of false complacency.
I would not be concerned if we were dealing with only
100,000 Communists. The Communists themselves boast
that for every Party member there are ten others ready
to do the Party's work. These include their satelites, their -
fellow-travelers and their so-called progressive and phony
liberal allies. They have maneuvered themselves into posi-
tions where a few Communists control the destinies of
hundreds who are either willing to be led or have been
duped into obeying the dictates of others.
The average American working man is loyal, patriotic
and law-abiding. He wants security for his 'family and
himself. But in some unions the rank and file find them-
selves between a Communist pincers, manipulated by a
few leaders who have hoodwinked and browbeaten them
into a state of submission. Communist labor leaders have
sparred for time in their labor deliberations to refer matters
of policy to Communist Party headquarters for clearance.
In fact, resolutions have been delayed pending such ap-
proval and contemplated strikes have been postponed until
adequate Communist support and backing were available.
The Communist influence has projected itself into some
newspapers, books, radio and the screen. Some churches,
schools, colleges and even fraternal orders have been pene-
trated, not with the approval of the rank and file but in
spite of them. I have been pleased to observe that the
Communist attempts to penetrate the American Legion
have met with failure. Eternal vigilance will continue to
keep your ranks free of shifty, double-crossing Communist
destructionists.
We are rapidly reaching the time when loyal Americans
must be willing to stand up and be counted. The American
Communist Party, despite its claims, is not truly a political
party. The Communist Party in this country is not work-
ing for the general welfare of all our people — it is working

Brower McMurphy Pioneered 2-Way Radio
A Member of Sheriff H. P. (Jack) Gleason's Staff in Alameda County, he developed The
Two-Way Radio Police Radio System Now Standard Equip-
ment of All Law Enforcement Agencies
By B. S. (Sandy) Sanders, editor, writer, retired veteran Oa\land police reporter.
It was the late Chief of Police Fred Heere of Pied-
mont who said :
"Mac, we're stymied unless we can develop a 2-way
radio system. What about it?"
And Brower McMurphy, radio technician under Chief
Heere replied :
Radio Technician Brower McMurphy, who developed the 2-way
Pohce Radio, checks his latest model installed in all of motor
vehicles operated by Sheriff H. P. (Jack) Gleason of Alameda
County.
"Chief, we'll try."
McMurphy went to work. That was in 1933.
In a period of weeks he had found the answer. He
had constructed from odd pieces of radio mechanism an
instrument that would complement the receiving set of
every radio equipped police car.
The 2-way radio was under way.
The patrolman on the move not only could listen in
for orders from headquarters but could make reply :
"Okeh, we're on our way. Be checking back shortly."
And the criminal world faced a new nemesis.
Four years later, in February, 1937, McMurphy was
called to radio service in the then Sheriff M. B. Driver's
office. Though loath to leave his Piedmont work-shop,
McMurphy moved down to Fifth and Clay streets in
Oakland where the Alameda County sheriflF held forth.
Always tinkering, always alert to the widening possibili-
ties of the 2-way radio, McMurphy continued his machine
shop activities, his determination to bring to closer per-
fection the brain-child of his former chief.
"After all," says McMurphy, "Chief Fred Heere was
father of the idea. All I've done is to develop the idea
and make such improvements as demanded when various
"Ah! Something's haywire on this 2-way radio," Says Brower
McMurphy, radio technician for Sheriff H. P. (Jack) Gleason of
Alameda County. Don't worry, McMurphy will fix it for the Dep*
uty Sheriff who operates the car. It's all in "Mac's" daily work.
bugs' showed up in the receiving and sending sets."
McMurphy has continued under far-sighted Sheriff Jack
Gleason of Alameda County to refine the 2-way radi'
sets which he builds. He has just about perfected the
transmitter which ties in with the receiving set of the 61
motor cars operating out of the sheriff's office.
The improved models have about 40 parts set in cast

Changes in Bureau of Inspectors
Page 7
Captain of Inspectors Bernard J. McDonald last month
made some changes in the personnel of his Bureau.
Principal of these changes was the placing of Lieutenant
Timothy J. Burke in charge of the Homicide Detail, re-
placing Inspector Alvin Corrasa who has held down that
important spot since the retirement of Inspector Harry
Husted over a year ago, and who has served most ef-
fectively on the Detail for many years.
Lieutenant Burke who has over 20 years with the
Bureau of Identification and has had charge of that
Bureau for over ten years leaves the old job he has filled
so well that his training will do much to bring him the
same success that marked his work as a fingerprint expert.
Captain McDonald in making this change in the Homi-
cide Detail announced Inspector Corrasa had indicated he
would like a change and with this opportunity he re-
newed his custom that extended for many years of having
a commissioned officer in charge of the all important
Homicide Detail.
Inspector Corrasa was transferred to the Robbery De-
tail, and Inspector George Heeg was brought from the
Burglary Detail to fill this spot. He, with Inspector Frank
Ahearn and Martin Lee, will do the investigation work
under the direction of Lieutenant Burke, and Captain
McDonald assigned a clerk-stenographer to the Detail.
The man selected for this job was Officer Thomas Fogarty
who has served so well in Chief Charles W. Dullea's
outer office. He has mastered the stenotype, the ultimate
in stenography, and will be a mighty handy man in his
new job. He will also be available for other details need-
ing stenographic assistance.
To take Lieutenant Burke's place in the Bureau of
Identification Sergeant Frank J. Matlin who has served
with the Bureau of Communications and has mastered
the intricacies of that exacting work as but few men have
been able to do.
Sergeant Ray Harrison was transferred from the Shoot-
ing Range to take over the job made vacant by the re-
assignment of Sergeant Matlin.
Inspector George Page and George Dyer who have an
impressive record of dealing with "no gooders" and for
years with the General Works Detail were transferred
to the Pickpocket and Bunco Detail.
Inspector Alfred J. Torre who has been a clerk in the
Bureau of Inspectors business office and for the past few
weeks in similar work in the Homicide Detail was as-
signed to Lieutenant Maurice W. Reardon's Bad Check
Detail, a well-merited promotion.
Inspector John Ross was assigned to the Robbery Detail
under Lieutenant Daniel McKlem. He knows what it is
all about.
Assistant Inspector Emmett Cottrell was assigned to
the Burglary Detail headed by Inspector James Johnson;
Assistant Inspectors Edward Preston and Lee Ferroggiaro
to Inspector William Gillmore's Auto Detail; Assistant
Inspectors Frank Beroni, Frank Gibcau and Jules Zim-
merlin to Inspector Frank Luncey's General Works Detail
and Assistant Inspector J. J. McCarthy to Inspector
Marvin Dowell's Missing Person Detail.

Santa Rosa^ County Seat of Sonoma County
Chief Melvin Flohr
Sonoma County, of which Santa Rosa is the county
seat, possesses many outstanding attractions.
It is the center of a vast natural playground, the main
point being the Russian River. This river offers the ut-
most in recreational attractions, boating, swimming, fishing
and hunting. Other areas offer much in camping, hunting
and fishing, from salt water to fresh water angling.
It is noted for its agricultural products, principally for
the great crop of various species of apples. It has great
dairy production farms and plants, and poultry, both
chickens and turkeys are major projects.
Cattle and sheep play an interesting part in its eco-
nomic structure and small vegetables contribute greatly
to its wealth.
So prolific are the various crops that Sonoma stands as
the seventh richest county in the United States, which as
all will admit is a record worth being proud of.
Santa Rosa, one of the State's oldest cities is noted
for many things. It has a Junior College, the ultimate of
construction and the most advanced in its teachings. It
has a 40-acre campus beautifully landscaped.
Santa Rosa was where Luther Burbank lived and pro-
duced by scientific study and propagation, many new
fruits and flowers that are now found throughout the
world.
Santa Rosa has produced three native sons who carved
themselves fame and fortune— Bob Ripley, the interna-
tionally known cartcxmist, noted for his "Believe It or
Not"; Ernest Nevers all-time all-American football player
who played for Stanford under Pop Warner and the late
Ralph Rose whose shot put and weight throwing won
him national fame.
Another noted Santa Ro.san was the late Supreme Court
Justice Emmctt Scwell, who for two decades served on the
Supreme Court bench for California and became noted
for his judicial knowledge and interpreting of the law-
of the land.
One could not leave out former Sheriff Mike Flohr.
who died some years ago. because he went all out in thi
performance of his official duties. Serving first as Chief
of Police for Petaluma he was elected Sheriff of Sonoma
County and would be serving yet but for his untimeh
death.
Santa Rosa is a little city fitted out with everything t'
meet the requirements of its people and of those of thi
surrounding country. It has good newspapers, fine stores,
filled with everything made to sell to the public. It has
good hotels, fine schools and churches, and all homes from
those of wealth to the humble cottage are well kept up,
and well they may be for the climate and soil permits of
the productions of flowers in great profusion.
This brings us to the Police Department.
Santa Rosa has a Police Department of 18 men and a
Chief of Police, Melvin Flohr.
Being the center of many highways going up into the
Redwood Empire, and to various resorts it attracts many
transients, some of them, a small number, being of an
undesirable class. These with others of a predatory nature
who gravitate to a prosperous city, be it either large or
small, it is necessary to have a Police Department selected
and trained in every phase of law enforcement.
This writer can say that Santa Rosa has such a De-
partment. We know of no other which can excel it in
efficiency.
Chief Flohr, who by the way is a nephew of the late
Sheriff Mike Flohr, realizes that in former years the small
police departments were handicapped by a lack of knowl-
edge ascribed to the members of large city departments.
He has since he has been Chief done much to dissipate
this condition. He has followed a program of trainin<:
men selected for the responsible work of law enforcement
He has seen that they establish contacts with all younger
groups, such as Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Junior Traffic
School Patrols as well as those of adult groups that have
public welfare at heart. He has them study finger printini;
classification and filing reports, and now has operandi ot
various criminals.

Harry L. Patteson Sheriff, Sonoma County
Harry L. Patteson, veteran Sonoma County Sheriff, is
well known among law enforcement officers throughout
the State of California. His long record of successful
service to his county resulted in his return to office in
the recent primaries by an overwhelming vote.
For many years he served as a police officer in Santa
SHERifF Harry L. Patteson
Rosa, later entering the Sheriff's office as a deputy under
Sheriff John Boyes. He was chief of criminal investigation
under the late Sheriff Mike Flohr, taking over as Sheriff
upon Flohr 's death.
Courageous and relentless in tracking down law-
breakers, he has risked his life numerous times in the
course of duty. His vigorous effort to stamp out the
wrongdoer has kept law-breaking at a minimum, making
the county a decidedly uncomfortable "climate" for the
criminal.
Only four days after taking office in his last term he
solved the mysterious Scefeldt murder case (another per-
fect crime) with such a damning array of condemming
evidence that the culprit was convicted with little delay.
Sometimes we find an otherwise fine peace officer with
little talent as an executive. This is happily not true of
Sheriff Patteson. His pattern and accomplishment in co-
ordinating all other law enforcement agencies in the county
has earned him the reputation of a capable administrator
as well as an enforcement officer. This lifted the standard
of crime detection in Sonoma County. His staff has
eighteen deputies and six radio cars. Four of his men
are back from the armed forces, namely Bill Bamctt,
Bureau of Identification; Dale Laney, E. Van Krugel and
Geo. Vanucci.
Sheriff Patteson has only one "vice" aside from runnine'
down the malefactor. He has held to a life long belu
that a man should number among his dependable con
panions, at least one good horse. He thinks that there u
nothing so good for the inside of a man, as the outside
of a horse, and on his infrequent days off you are likdy
to find him up in the wooded hills of his beautiful county
with that good horse under him. Good luck. Sheriff — the
people of Sonoma County can confidently look forward
to another four years of competent law enforcement.

Marin County Peace Officer*s Association
By Judge John Flor of Lar\spur.
"MARVELOUS MARIN" can truly be proud of the
Marin County Peace Officers' Association. Starting in the
year 1940 with a membership of eleven officers, the associa-
tion has grown to a membership, as of this date, of one
hundred and twenty-five members. The membership is
composed of every law enforcement agency in the county.
Judge John Flohr
including the Judiciary and the Provost Marshal located at
Hamilton Field. As Secretary of this group I am extremely
happy to have the opportunity to pay a well and unquali-
fied deserved tribute to each and every member of all law
enforcement officers of Marin County.
As law enforcement officers each member has given
unlimited cooperation to one another; the police problem
of one city of the county is considered the problem of the
entire county. Every city in the county, together with the
Sheriff's office, has become a member of the MUTUAL
AID PLAN. The spirit of cooperation has unified the
county as a whole and as a result crime has been con-
trolled, and criminal offenders have sadly learned that
Marin County is an unhealthy area in which to ply
their trade.
The preamble of the Constitution of this organization
Sets forth its purpose. It reads as follows :
"The purposes for which this Association is or-
; ganized are to secure a closer official and personal
relationship among Peace Officers of the County of
Marin; to secure co-operation and co-ordination in
all police matters; to elevate the standard of police
institutions; to provide full tenure of office for those
employed in the service; to co-operate with all per-
sons chargeable with the enforcement of law so as
to secure full protection of all law abiding citizens
of the County of Marin and for the prevention and
detection of crime and the identification and treat-
ment of prisoners."
Hard work and honest effort on behalf of the Chiefs
of Police, the Sheriff and the heads of other departments
have made it possible to attain the goal set forth in the
preamble. Before the war Marin County was below par
when it came to law enforcement. Few or no scientific
methods were used. Law enforcement was a hit or miss
game. With the birth of the Marin County Peace Officers
Association a transition started to take place, and law
enforcement commenced to be a profession.
Through the hard fight led by Chief Donald Wood
of San Anselmo the Radio system was installed in Marin
County, and today every police car and station is equipped
with a most modern radio. This brought about a high
degree of efficiency in police work.
The efforts of Chiefs W. V. Nicholson of Larkspur,
James Doyle of Sausalito, Donald Wood, San Anselmo,
Frank Kelly, San Rafael, Andrew Peri, Fairfax, Frank
Nelson, Corte Madera, James McGowan, Mill Valley
and Sheriff Walter Selmer, were successful in unifying
every law body in the Mutual Aid plan.
A constant and stubborn fight is now being carried on
to provide full tenure of office for those employed as
peace officers. Also a campaign is on foot to establish and
create a Retirement Plan. As yet, the fight has been un'
successful, however, the Association is going to continue
the fight until a Retirement Plan has been adopted by
each City in the County. It is realized that unless the
goal is reached in this respect, it will be impossible t^
elevate the standard of police institutions. At the las'
meeting of the Association a resolution was passed setting
forth a standardization of wages for starting peace of-
ficers at the sum of Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars a
month. We all know that an inadequate wage bears fruit
of incompetency. Also passed resolutions endorsing a hos-
pital district in Marin County. H^i
Post war problems in Marin County are no diffcren"
than in other counties of this State. The law enforcement
agencies of the County are now well prepared to cope
with any problem that arises. Whereas in other counties
crime is on the increase, the crime in Marin County is
below that of past years. This condition is due to the
alertness and the united front which the Association pre-
sents. The traffic problems are handled with sternness and
efficiency by the capable Captain Emory Dawson of the
California Highway Patrol.
"Law enforcement is a profession," so states Chief Franlc
Kelly of San Rafael, and much of the Chief's time is el^H
pended to enlighten the peace officers and the people o^^
this fact. The Chief was graduated from the F. B. I.
National Academy where as a student he made an enviable
record and he has passed onto the peace officers much of
his knowledge in the field of scientific crime detection.

Cdlistoga^s New Chief
Calistoga, that beautiful little city on the Napa County
side of Mt. Helena, and a vacation spot for thousands of
Californians who annually come there to enjoy the fine
scenery, the hot springs which furnish health for many
who seek these waters and the geyser which functions as
regularly as Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park.
Chief Kenneth M. Hivcly and Officer Jay Hathaway, of Calistoga
Police Department.
There is a lot of farming, cattle raising and poultry
producing in and about Calistoga.
The town is made up of a class of people who have
lived there for years, and who welcome all newcomers,
whether they are just in for a visit or desire to settle down
in this picturesque spot of Northern California.
Its people are law abiding, but as is the case of all
municipalities, large or small, it is necessary to maintain
a Police Department to enforce the laws, which in the
case of Calistoga calls for those of a misdemeanor nature,
for you don't see any accounts in the papers of any big
name crimes being "pulled" in this peaceful little city.
Calistoga has a police department of five men, and all
of them are veterans of the World 'War that stopped
last year. Kenneth M. Hively is the Chief of Police and
he has two veterans who were in the Marines and two
who did hitches in the navy. Chief Hively spent two
years in the Army a member of the Military Police. He is a
native of Los Angeles but came to Napa County in 193?.
In December he was mustered out of the Army and
returned to St. Helena on December 14th. On December
17th he re-entered the Police Department which he joined
in 1937 serving on the night watches.
Officer Hively thought he was settled in St. Helena as
a police officer, but on February 1, this year. Chief Eddie
Light resigned from the Calistoga Police Department to
join the Sheriff's list of deputies, with headquarters in his
home town. The powers that be sought a good man to
fill the spot Chief Light had filled so ably. Officer Hively
was selected for the honors and took over on February 1.
On his force are Officer Otis Bohn, in charge of the
office. Jay Hathaway, and Al Lindholm with Deputy
Sheriff Light serving as a special police officer.
The Department's patrol car has a two-way hook-up
with Napa County Sheriff's radio station.
A new police station has been rebuilt and the Depart-
ment moved in on November 1 .
Chief Hively is married and he and his wife, Beverly,
have two children, Matricia Lee, age eight years, and
Kenny Sue, two years.

SEBASTOPOL POUCE DEPARTMENT
Front row, left to right. Officer Don Goss, Chief E. T. Foster and Captain F. J. (Bill) Lawrence.
Back row: Officers Edward Major and Ernest (Buck)
There are big cities and little cities; there are big police
departments and little police departments. When a big
department does a reputable job, it often, if not always,
receives the acclaim properly due it. More often an ex-
cellent little department remains unheralded and unsung
outside its own community.
It is our pleasant duty to report these smaller depart-
ments when that excellence is so apparent that it sticks
out all over. It is refreshing to find a community where
every officer is looked up to by its best citizens, and where
the school kids respect their uniformed friends but still
call them by their first names. And so we have no hesita-
tion in handing an orchid to Chief E. T. Foster and his
fine five-man force at Sepastopol.
Chief Foster had his headaches during the war years
as many another Chief had. At Pearl Harbor time ever>'
last man responded to his highest duty, even to his veteran
Capt. F. J. Lawrence, The Chief doesn't look back with
many pleasant memories over those past four years of
added duties with untrained men, but now that all "his
boys" are back at their first love and doing a first class
job for the people of the "Apple Capital" of California,
that old familiar smile has returned too.
All of his men returned from the armed forces with
creditable records. Captain Lawrence's experience was
recognized at once and he was appointed Staff Sergeant in
the Army Air Corps Intelligence Service and has many
an interesting tale to tell of his duty in the Pacific.
Officer E. T. Rose's talents were also put to gotxl use
Ros
and he served as a gunnery instructor with the rank of
Staff Sergeant through the war.
Officer Don Goss (C. B. M.) landed on every beach'
head from Guadalcanal to the Philippines, and Officer
Edwin Major was a Staff Sergeant in the Cavalry.
The Chief himself is an old timer, having put in
twenty years in his department, and a little too much
on the "gray side" for active duty in war combat. How-
ever, he put a couple of hitches in the Navy in the last
one and came out a bit salty as most good sailormen do.
The Department's radio cars are tuned in to KSRN,
Sheriflf Patteson's station at Santa Rosa. They boast the
best attendance record at the Police Academy course held
during the past summer at Santa Rosa Junior College.
The writer knows every one on the force and from the
standpoint of good personal conduct, loyalty to their
Chief and devotion to a strict but kindly diagnosis of an
officer's duty, you will find no little department an\
where that is more competent.

Chief Michelis of Livermore
Page 17
While Highway 99 skirts the city of Livermore it
would be worthwhile for motorists to detour and take
a little side trip to that important city of Alameda County.
Those who would follow this advice would find a busy
little municipality the center of as wide a range of pro-
(jHiEf J. R. Michelis
duction of nearly everything that the people of this
country use in the way of food, drink and other necessities
of life.
The surrounding rolling hills and valleys are noted for
its cattle raising, its farm products, its vineyards and
wineries and the city of Livermore is the locale for one
of the oldest annual rodeos of this end of the state.
It is an old town and many of the sons and daughters
of the pioneers who first settled in this attractive and
productive spot make up the little city's some 4000 popu-
lation. Livermore has grown some since the 1940 census
gave it 2,885 people in its incorporated limits. Like all
centrally located cities in the various sections of this state
the census gives no notice of the added thousands who
come here to make purchases in the up to date stores
and marts as well as to find recreation and enjoyment.
Many changes have been wrought in Livermore by the
war. Some of the biggest concentration centers for the
army and navy were located nearby, and the town has
kept pace with the demands made on its merchants and
its people. Mayor H. W. Anderson, who has headed
the city's government since April 12, 1938, has given
it a fine administration and he has had much to do with
the progress of his city.
Since the start of the war Livermore 's Police Depart-
ment has been in charge of Chief J. R. Michelis, who
took over on January 1, 1942. Through the war period
and up to the present time he and his eight man staff
have preserved the peace of this thriving little inland
city in a way that has brought much favorable comment
from enighboring communities.
Chief Michelis joined the Police Department in 1931
and rode a motorcycle for a number of years. He was a
sergeant at the time he was appointed by the city council
to his present post.
The personnel of his Department is made up of the
following with the years they have been on the force :
Former Chief George Dotem, 20 years; Dan Michelis,
one year; Sergeant F. B. Kelly, 13 years; J. A. Rickeis,
four years; Jose Silva, six months; James Kendrick, two
months; Matron Norma Biele, four years; and Matron
June Liebort, six months. Relief Officer William Peters,
seven years.
Livermore 's Police Commissioner is F. B. Roberts.
The patrol cars are all fitted out with two-way radio
hooked up with the Alameda Sheriff's Radio Station.

State Peace Officers* Convention
The 26th annual convention of the Peace Officers" Asso- From this section of the state numerous peace officers

and 23, was one of the largest attended by law enforce- afternoon. Chief Charles DuUea, District Attorney
ment officials and those interested in law enforcement, Edmund G. Brown and Captain of Inspectors Bernard J.
that has marked any meeting since the Association was McDonald of San Francisco, Chief Robert Tracy, District
formed back in 1920. Too, the program presented was Attorney Ralph E, Hoyt, Sheriff Howard P. Gleason,
President C. B. Horrall
the most interesting, instructive and comprehensive of
any previous sessions.
Chief of Police Clifford E, Peterson left nothing undone
that would contribute to the success of this important
yearly meeting of those charged with enforcing the laws
of this country.
Delegates who applied for accommodations, found their
requests had received the mose careful consideration, and
were sent to their various rooms and suites as soon as
they registered at the U. S. Grant Hotel the headquarters
for the convention.
Chief Peterson beside providing a splendid program for
the twice daily meetings also provided entertainment for
the guests, many of whom were accompanied by their
families. San Diego has many interesting places to visit
and all who went to the pioneer southern city of California
got a chance to visit these places. Entertainment was
furnished for the annual banquet, for other features of
the three-day program, and when the delegates departed
they were all united in declaring it was a mighty fine
meeting and that Chief Peterson was due for large
chunks of praise for the splendid job he did in preparing
for the gathering.
From the bay area nearly every Chief of Police was
present and most all Sheriffs.
Chief Deputy Sheriff John Greening, C. B. McMurphy,
radio technician for Alameda's Sheriff's office of Oakland,
and Chief John D. Holstrom, Berkeley; Howard Zink of
Palo Alto, all had prominent part in the daily sessions.
Sheriff George J. Overholt, president, was unable to
attend because of the serious illness of his wife, so Chief
C. B. Horrall, first vice president took over the duties of
the presiding officer and the manner in which he handled
the convention's business indicates he will be a mighty
fine president for the coming year. ^

Also unable to attend, the first meeting he has missed
since he was elected secretary-treasurer, was former Chief
James T. Drew of Oakland, a charter member who was
prevented from making the trip because of illness. Chief
Drew submitted his resignation which when presented
to the members for action was unanimously rejected and
when the election of officers came up he was also unani'
mously selected for another year and Chief Division Dep-

uty Greening of Sheriff Gleason's Staff was elected as
assistant secretary-treasurer. A happy solution and Ala-
meda's Sheriff is to be highly commended for allowing
such an able peace officer as Jack Greening help out in
the affairs of the Association.
William Schoppe, Pacific Coast head of the National
Auto Theft Bureau, which has through the years been
brought to such a high stage of apprehending auto thieves
and who is highly regarded by all law enforcement of-
ficers of the Pacific Coast, took over the duties of Cheif
Drew, and he would have been drafted as an assistant
but the pressure of his business would not permit him

addresses.
Governor Earl Warren, a charter member of the Asso-
ciation, District Attorney Brown. Attorney General Robt.

geles, presented addresses that were well received.
However, Garnett Potts, in charge of the Los Angeles
office of the National Auto Theft Bureau and Chief E.
Raymond Cato, of the State Highway Patrol, also had
a prominent part in the programs.
Chief Zink headed a panel discussion of "Mini-
mum Standards and Qualifications for Law Enforcement
Work," and from the contribution of the members of the
panel it shows that peace officers are going to get some-
where in raising the standards of enforcement.
Chief Greening gave an address for the Communica-
tions Coordinating Committee and he held a panel dis-
cussion of this important commissions work in the use
of radio in law enforcement. He had some mighty smart
men thoroughly acquainted with what two-way radio
means to all law enforcement agencies, on his panel.
On September 21, at noon, the delegates were guests
to a luncheon at which the Federal Bureau of Investigation
Chiefs from San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego

FIREMEN AND POLICE WIN
TWO CHARTER CHANGES
For the fourth time in the past three years the Fire
Department and PoHce Department personnel have been
overwhelmingly favored by the voters of San Francisco.
Their wages have been raised to a standard where they
will be more able to enjoy life and they have been given
pension advantages that are much better than they have
ever had before.
On November 5, at the state election, the Firemen
and Police had two proposition on the ballot, calling for
changes in the charter. One combined a 15 per cent
raise in salaries and shorter working hours — the police
asked for a 44 -hour week, the firemen a 61 -hour week;
the second provided pensions paid to the families of
members of either department killed in line of duty be
increased from 50 per cent of the killed member's salary
to 100 per cent.
Both amendments went over by a decisive vote.
By increasing the salaries of the members of the two
departments whose duty is the hazardous work of pro-
tecting life and property, these men and women will be
paid wages in keeping with other metropolitan cities.
It is significant that amendments presented to the elec-
torate during the administration of Mayor Roger D.
Lapham — and sponsored by him — on behalf of the Fire-
men and Policemen have had the uniform support of all
labor unions, civic clubs, fraternal orders, leaders of in-
dustry, the merchants and in fact all who have the interest
of San Francisco at heart.
San Francisco's Fire Department and Police Depart'
ment are fully entitled to these constructive favors of
the voters of the city, for no city excels them in efficiency
in their respective agencies. Their raises and shorter hours
are well merited, but it so happens that the public is often
remiss in extending such substantial recognition for meri-
torious service and a work well done.
"W^ith the support of Mayor Lapham and the members
of the Fire Commission and Police Commissioners Jerd
Sullivan, J. Wesley Howell and E. L. Turkington, the
two departments joined in conducting a campaign that
was well planned, reasonably well financed and with a
corps of speakers from each branch of the city's services
interested in the salary raise and the shortening of work
hours, fortified with facts and figures to back up their
arguments on the two propositions to be voted on.
Under the direction of Robert Callahan for the fire
fighters and Lieutenant James Quigley for the Police
many member of each department took important parts
in the campaign. No group was too small but what a
speaker was sent to tell the story behind the proposed
charter amendments.
Fireman Callahan and Lieutenant Quisley deserve high
praise for their work as co-chairmen of the campaign
committee, and the Fire and Police Departments are very
grateful for the support of so many organizations and for
the thousands of voters who voted in their favor.
These improvements in the conditions of the members
of these two important units of our city government will
prove a great attraction for young men and women to
enter the service of either. The people of San Francisco
can rest assured that they will get the maximum of ser'
vice from both, as they have for many years in the past.
XMAS PARTY FOR S. F. P. D.
CHILDREN
The San Francisco Police Officers' Association is plan'
ning a Christmas party for Saturday afternoon, December
21, from 1 to 4 o'clock. The party is for the enjoyment
of the children of the members of this Association, and
it will be a notable one, with lots of presents, a good
program and, of course, ample refreshments, the kind
the kiddies like.
The party will be held in Larkin Hall, Civic Auditorium,
and Officer Cecil F. Hickman is in charge of arrange-
ments for this outstanding event, and President James
McGovern and Secretary Gerald J. Flynn have sent out
invitations to all members requesting that they return to
the secretary their respective children, listing whether
boys or girls.

Dr. David G. Schmidt of San Quentin
Dr. David G. Schmidt pioneered forensic Psychiatry in
Prisons in the Western United States when he started the
Psychiatric Department in San Quentin in 1932.
He has given Neuro-Psychiatric examinations and treat-
ment to over thirty thousand men who have violated the
laws of society and he has probably examined and treated
and treatment of the psychotics, psychoneurotics, alcoholics
and others at San Quentin.
This Psychiatrist has been a member of the Association
since 1932 and with his experience and background has
always stood ready and helpful all along the line.

more sex psychopaths, criminally insane, and all types of
psychopaths and offenders than any Psychiatrist in the
whole country.
He has tried to develop a Department that not only
made a diagnosis but actually treated the individual in
more than lip service with reference to the cause of his
crime and developing a healthy mind and making a more
worthwhile citizen out of the law violator. The purpose
of the Psychiatric Department has been to be not only
the inmates' Physician of the mind and body, but to be
of service to the Administrative and law enforcement of-
ficers, including the Judges, and also to society at large.
Dr. Schmidt is looking forward to the development of
the Psychiatric Medical Center in the State of California
Department of Corrections, where there will be sufficient
staff and facilities to study and treat problems of the
causes of crime and of the treatment of criminals as they
daily face the law enforcement officer, the Court, prison
and society.
Dr. Schmidt has also been helpful to the Courts and
Probation Officers, etc. in all parts of the State, in that
he has examined many sex psychopaths and men pleading,
"Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity."
Since 1939 he has been Director of the Psychopathic
Unit in San Quentin where he has had the responsibility
of observation, care and treatment of all inmates gen-
erally and nervous and mental problems and problems of
sexual psychopathy. He has been emphasizing research

DAILY DON'TS FOR POLICE OFFICERS
Don't think for a moment that the Police Commissioners
put the chapter on "Courtesy" in the Department's hoc^k
of Rules and Regulations merely as a fill in.
Don't fail to familiarize yourself with the department
rules on "Courtesy"; it may mean official embarrassment
to breach one of them.
Don't think the rules about standing at attention are
inserted to make you feel inferior; millions of the world's
finest have faithfully stood at attention.
Don't relax instantly on ceasing to stand at attention;
that would betray a lack of military training.
Don't look bored when obeying the department courtesy
rules; they have been set down to make you look like an
officer of the law.
Don't forget a goixl appearance and hearing sell a
police officer to his taxpayers; they doubt the efficiency
of officers who appear tired.
Don't jostle your way on to street cars; it is more
dignified to board cars as the courtesy rules point out.
Don't belong to the class that is justly called "noisy";
remember what the poet says about the "vacant mind."
Don't sneer at the unfortunate; people who see you
do so will not remember you as a good police officer.
Don't hurry when escorting weak or infirm citizens
across the street; rather, let such people shift for them-
selves than be thus uncouth and un-officer like.
Don't think you are supposed to be hard boiled; the very
best police officers are gentlemen.
Don't fail to give the children kindly and considerate
treatment; they are the citizens of tomorrow.
Don't act boisterously, even when not in uniform; re-
member, you represent the majesty of the law and are
supposed to act accordingly.
Don't show impatience when listening to a complaint;
what seems trivial to you may appear of grave importance
to the complaining taxpayer.
Don't use vulgar or profane language either on or off
duty; on duty it is contrary to police rules, and, under
any circumstances, it places you in the hoodlum class.

Don't be rude to the unfortunate; some day ill luck
may visit you.
Don't be sullen to your brother officer, even if you
think you have a reason to so act; some day you may
sorely need his assistance.
Don't try to play the role of comedian or wise cracker
while on duty; you are a police officer — not a clown.
Don't treat the apparently wealthy more respectfully
than the apparent vagrant; remember clothes do not make
the man.
Don't arbitrarily enter a person's home; the sanctuary
of the home is a most highly prized right.
Don't be impatient at being asked apparently silly
questions; visitors sometimes judge a city by its police
officers.
Don't argue about civic problems; the city pays a staff
of lawyers to interpret all such questions.
Don't act as if better than your fellow officers; pride
goeth before a fall.
Don't criticize your brother officer; remember, the
public has that concession frozen.
Don't yell at people; little dogs bark more and louder
than Great Danes.

Chinatown to Have Juvenile Ball League
Lieutenant Harry Reilly, retired member of the San
Francisco Police Department, who for so many years
was head of the Big Brother movement of the department,
has had his dreams come true as far as a baseball league
in Chinatown.
A little over a year ago he organi-ed a Chinese baseball
team which was christened the Chinese Dragons, and
which was sponsored and financed by Joe Shoong, head of
the chain of Dollar Stores.
This team competed in the City Recreation tournament
and at each game showed improvement and when they
finished their schedule it was a fine ball team.
When the success of this first Chinese team, Lieuten-
ant Reilly sought to enlarge baseball interest among the
Chinese population by forming a league in Chinatown.
So last month he was the special guest of the Chinese
Optimist Club, at which former head of the Chinatown
Squad John J. Manion and the present head. Sergeant John
Dyer, were present. He told them of the success of the
Chinese Dragons, not only as it improved with each game,
but for the good will it engendered throughout the city
and the high type of sportsmanship marking each player
of the Dragons. He asked the Optimist Club to take
over the sponsorship of his proposed league which will
tie in with his plans for the organisation of boys clubs
in every district of San Francisco.
After the matter had been submitted to a committee
for study it was decided that the Optimist Club would
sponsor such a club in Chinatown, and from now on
there will be more than one ball team and many other
sports activities will come out of this action.
The Sunset Optimist Club has under consideration of
a special committee on forming a club in the Sunset
district.
Other districts have clubs which have taken up this
important work among juveniles and more will follow.
We know of no one who is more capable of heading
such a movement which has as its goal of providing good
clean sports, under proper supervision for our young
ones, than Lieutenant Harry Reilly. For nearly a half
century, as a member of the San Francisco Police De-
partment, he has been interested in this vital work and
has built up a splendid reputation for his approach of
dealing with juveniles. His experience as a police ofiicer
during those early days of his career when he learned a
lot about why boys go bad and has some definite and con-
structive ideas of how to keep boys from going bad. This
organization of district clubs throughout the city is one
of them and the more backing he gets from public spirited
civic organizations and service clubs it will pay off in a
big way.

Benicia California and its Police Department
Pictured on this page is Benicia 's Chief of PoHce, Wil-
liam Davena, who entered Benicia's law enforcement de-
partment the year of 1932 as a patrolman, served in this
capacity so efficiently for the next eleven months he was
appointed Assistant Chief, and held this rating until 1942,
Chief William Davena. Benicia
at which time he was made Chief and is still serving the
community in which he lives most efficiently.
Chief Davena is a native son of California and doesn't
look his age of forty years. He has a wife, Genevieve, and
two lovely children, a boy "> and a daughter, of whom he
is very fond.
Chief Davena huilt Benicia's Police Department up to
its present high standards starting with a four-man force;

Benicia is one of California's historical towns, and
still boasts it has the most enteresting and unique estab-

founded in 1846 on the same site which it still stands
although it has been modernised due to a disastrous fire
two years ago, but on the walls still hang some very
beautiful paintings, such as a picture of Charles Bennett,
a messenger from Marshall's Mill at Colma with gold

built first adobe dwelling in Benicia and many others of
great historical value.

Bay Identification Association Meet
At a meeting of the board of directors of the Cahfornia
Divisions of the International Association of Identification
held in Long Beach September 28, the date and place
of the next state convention was set. Long Beach will be
the place for the meeting which is scheduled for May
28, 29, 30 and 31.
Ralph Bradford, sergeant-at-arms was elected chair-
man for the coming convention, and he has been assured
of fine accommodations, a good meeting place and an in-
teresting array of speakers.
Attending the Long Beach meeting were the officers
of the Association, Thomas R. McGafF, president; M. N.
Canlis, vice-president; Carl J. Wallace, secretary-treasurer;
M. F. Nurenberg, editor; Ralph Bradford, sergeant-
at-arms.
Directors, William Russell, W. E. Hawkinson of Oak-
land, Lynn Beackett, Chester Troan and Past President
Lloyd Christianson of Long Beach.
Canlis, who is one of the most enthusiastic members of
the Bay Counties organization, besides being one of the
top men in the business of identification — his department
in the Sheriff's office of his native county being one of
the best in the state — did a grand job of providing a
meeting place, where an excellent dinner was served, and
as presiding officer of this occasion, presented Dr. Toller
of the Stockton State Hospital, who is an authority on
the use and effects of the so-called "truth" serum.
Because the aims of the Identification Association of
this area, as well as of the State body, are to go into
everything that science has to offer in the way of getting
the truth of any case, the address of Dr. Toller was given
the closest attention, and when he had completed his
speech he knew he had registered with his audience
which gave him enthusiastic applause.
Following is the membership of the Bay Counties Asso-
ciation, of which Inspector R. L. Sherry, of Berkeley, is

the Stockton meeting.

S.F. P. D. Captains Commendations
The following reports have been submitted to Chief
Charles W. Dullea dealing with excellent police Work
performed by members of our department and Company
Commanders of the officers listed herein have been per-
sonally commended for their attention to duty, keen ob-
servation while on patrol, for their alertness and fine
police service rendered, as outlined herein:
"At 7:50 p. m., September 24, Officer A. Pozner,
driving Radio Car D-1, received a radio message stating
that there were prowlers at 960 Guerrero Street. He
responded and picked up Officers Nicolas Crivello and
H. Tompkins at 16th and Valencia Streets, and pro-
ceded to the above location. They surrounded the
building and apprehended one Roland Whitman, 14
years, who attempted to escape. Upon questioning this
young man the officers learned of an accomplice, one
"Frank." He was taken into custody, and gave the name
of Frank Huddleston, Huddleston is now on probation
due to a previous burglary conviction. Due to their
alertness to duty, and the speed in responding to this
radio call, and the subsequent arrest of the accomplice,
these officers, without doubt, prevented a series of burg-
laries and other crimes and have rendered our community

10:12 p. m., the suspects attempted to snatch the purse
of another woman at Polk and Jackson Streets, and some
passerby procured the license number of the automobile.
A few minutes later the officers recognized the automobile
of the suspects, and after a chase of several blocks and
the firing of four shots from the shotgun, the officers ar-
rested the suspects, Julian Yanez and Angelino Sainz.
It was later ascertained that the purse snatchers were
using a stolen car, taken from Pacific and Stockton Streets.
The defendant Sainz is an ex-convict. The foregoing
excellent police duty performed is hereby called to your

"Where The Russian River and The Redwood Highway Meet"
Up in northern Sonoma County, seventy-five miles
north of San Francisco, and nestled among beautiful vine
clad hills, jou will find one of the most delightful little
cities in this State — Healdsburg.
Folks here seem to enjoy being alive to a far greater
degree than in some places I know. And why not? They
have a climate that would turn a Los Angeleno green
with envy, a rich fruit belt surrounding them, the best
swimming, boating and hunting at their very door, and
they are proud of it.
They are proud, too, of their modern little Police De-
partment, headed by Gino (Tiny) Stefani. He has been
chief for only two years but it has been long enough to
have thoroughly demonstrated to its citizens, and the
wront,-doer as well, that he and his men are there for
a purpose.

settled down to a permanent and compact organization.
Next time you readers plan a trip up this way try and
take in the really fine Band Concerts staged in the beauti-

was fortunate to have heard them twenty-five years ago,
and they still attract many thousands of visitors during

Pistol Shooting Has Come Into Its Own
By E. J. DuTiL
The ambition of every police officer is to become an
expert shot. And why not? For revolver shooting is one
of the most fascinating and interesting of sports, and the
ability to hit the mark with reasonable certainty is a
satisfactory and enviable accomplishment.
The officer who has the reputation of being a "sure
shot" is looked upon with respect, envy and no little awe.
Range Master Emile J. Dutil
of the San Francisco Police Shooting Range.
You think of him as a person of self-possession — certain
of his ability — a mighty desirable companion in an emer-
gency. And rightly so, for revolver shooting steadies the
nerves, creates self-confidence, develops a sense of calm
assurance which enables him, ofttimes, to forestall and
avoid danger. It teaches straight thinking, quick acting
and the fearlessness born of confidence.
Aside from the pleasure and gratification found in re-
volver practice and competition, the ability to shoot well
is a patriotic accomplishment, contributing to the welfare
of the community, the state and the nation; conducive as
it is to a ready and self-reliant officer.
While situations and conditions in which the actual
firing of the revolver may become necessary for the pro-
tection of the officer, citizens or property are, perhaps,
comparatively rare in the life of the average policeman,
yet a practical knowledge and the ability to use the Arm
may be at any time of inestimable value. Certainly it is
true that more accidents are caused by ignorance of fire-
arms than their use in sports or for protection in the
hands of those trained in proper usage.
Some years ago the average police officer knew little or
nothing about shooting, and had no incentive whatsoever
to learn. Although the revolver has long been an essential
part of his equipment and carried at all times while on or
off duty, and there are a constantly increasing number of
stories of the skill with which these Arms were used, it
was not until the last few years that shooting really de-
veloped in our police department to anything approaching
its potentialities.
In those pre-training days the only shooting carried on
was by those of the department who took a personal in-
terest in the need for such training and carried on at their
ov»'n expense and time. These men created an enviable
reputation for themselves. Some of them were known
nationally for their proficiency.
Today the situation has been completely reversed. It is
therefore but befitting to state that our Chief Charles W.
Dullea and our Police Commissioners are deserving of our
sincere thanks for their invaluable aid and assistance to
the department, by providing adequate range facilities and
a thoroughly up-to-date training and practice program
for every man on the force. Their wholehearted support
for the training course and departmental competition has
been most valuable in maintaining the interesf-Sf the men
and the consequent development of an unusually high
degree of marksmanship proficiency for the department as
a whole.
There naturally will be plenty of action between the
contending teams for the three top place in the Class "A"
and "B" divisions, and you can bet your bottom dollar
that all other teams will give their best to retain or better
their present positions.
The beautiful Call-Bidletin Trophy, generously donated
by that newspaper and won in 194i by Headquarters Com-
pany, will in all probability change hands this year. This
trophy and four gold medals will be awarded to the
1946 Department champs. Four gold medals will be
awarded to the second place team and four silver medals
will go to the third place team.
The winning team in the Class "B" division will be
awarded the San Francisco Police Department Trophy,
now held by Northern No. 3 team together with four
silver medals. Four bronze medals to second place and
four bronze medals to third place teams.
The final match to be fired November 27th. 1946.
The San Francisco I'olice and Peace Officers" Jmn-nal
has put up four $2'i government bonds v>hich Armorer
Dutil will award one each to the winner of each of the
four classes in the shoot of November 27.

Chief F. L. Nelson, Corte Madera
Chief of Police Frank L. Nelson has done a commend-
ahle job in streamlining and moderni:;ing the Corte Ma-
dera Department. Along with Assistant Chief Geo. S.
Menke and Captain Sylvester D. Nolan, the community
has good sensible protection.
Chief Nelson took over his duties on July 1, 1943, and
Chief and Mrs. Frank L. Nelson of Corte Madera
immediately set to work to establish good, friendly, busi-
nesslike relationship with other departments in Marin
County. The department is operated on a "fair and
square deal basis." Chief Nelson, in dealing with the
citizens of his community, has always emphasized and
publicized the fact that, "people should look upon Police
Departments as organizations that are always ready and

willing to help the public to maintain a high degree of

Police work, in the eyes of Chief Nelson, is definitely
a profession and should be respected and treated as such.
The department is equipped with a County-wide 2-way
radio and has recently joined the State of California
Mutual Aid Plan, which is an invaluable asset to all
who belong.
Corte Madera, a city of population of 1600, can well
be proud of its department and officers.

COMMENDATORY LETTERS TO CHIEF DULLEA
The following communications have been received by
Chief Charles W. Dullea :
"On behalf of the membership of Newspaper Drivers'
Local 92 1 , we wish to bring to your attention the splendid
cooperation and help given to one of our members by
Officer George Brown, Co. D, Mission District. Several
news carriers in the neighborhood of 11th and Capp
Streets, were molested and assaulted by boys of the dis-
trict. Officer Brown did all in his power and remedied a
situation that was getting well out of hand. He deserves
this commendation and we are taking this opportunity of
bringing his good work to your attention.
Al. G. Vergez, Sec'y.,
Newspaper and Periodical Drivers, Loc. 921."

"I am writing you to tell you how very graciously and
effectively your organization complied with our last
minute request for police assistance last Sunday (August
25, 1946), when crowds over-took our main floor at our
recent display of San Francisco and California History
Souvenirs and Paintings. Sergeant John J. Horgan, Cen-
tral Station, appeared and had one or two men on the
scene when our sidewalks became overcrowded and
jammed our Main Floor. I am very grateful to you and
your officers and want you to know of our appreciation.
Wheelock H. Bingham, Pres.
O'Connor Moffat 6? Co."
* * *
"My partner, Warren Cockran and I, Ben Eslich,
owners of Thrifty Cleaning &? Laundry Co., 766 Post
Street, wish to thank you and the Police Department for
the prompt manner in which one of our Branches, at 2429
California Street, was saved from a large loss recently.
Police Officer, No. 881~(Mario J. Marino, Co. E.)
heard a crack (they jimmied the door and broke the lock)
— from a few blocks away, while on patrol and went to
the scene within a few minutes and prevented the burg-
lary. Nothing was taken, thanks to his prompt action.

"May we ask that you convey to Officer E. Hopper
the Municipal Railway Management's appreciation for
his quick assistance (being a former motorman in the
Municipal Railway), he relieved a traffic congestion on
Friday. September 13, 1946, at about ?:.33 p. m., by
operating Car No. 172, Line D, due to an injury of

Hopper and your department for its past cooperation, I
remain.

"I want to take this opportunity to compliment you
and your department on the splendid work that was done
by your men during the American Legion Convention
here in San Francisco. We feel sure that without the
successful planning and coverage which was given the

difficulties during this convention. Thanking you again,

against our people. It is not interested in providing for
the common defense. It has for its purpose the shackling
of America and its conversion to the godless, Communist
way of life. If it were a political party its adherents could
be appealed to by reason. Instead, it is a system of in-
trigue, actuated by fanaticism. It knows no rules of de.-
cency. Its unprincipled converts would sell America short
if it would help their cause of furthering an alien way
of life conceived in darkness and motivated by greed for
power whose ultimate aim is the destruction of our cher-
ished freedom. Let us no longer be misled by their sly
propaganda and false preachments on civil liberty. They
want civil license to do as they please and, if they get
control, liberty for Americans will be but a haunted
memory. For those who seek to provoke prejudice and
stir up the public mind to angry resentment against our
form of government are a menace to the very powers of
law and order which guarantees and safeguard popular
rights.
We, of this generation, have faced two great menaces
in America — Fascism and Communism. Both are material-
istic; both are totalitarian; both are anti-religious; both
are degrading and inhuman. In fact, they differ little
except in name. Communism has bred Fascism and Fascism
spawns Communism. Both are antithesis of American
belief in liberty and freedom. If the peoples of other
countries want Communism, let them have it, but it has
no place in America.
The Hitler, Tojo and Mussolini brands of Fascism were
met and defeated on the battle field. All those who stand

for the American way of life must arise and defeat Red
Fascism in America by focusing upon it the spotlight of
public opinion and by building up barriers of common
decency through which it cannot penetrate.
Such a crusade cannot be spearheaded by any force
more potent than the American Legion, composed as it
is of America's heroes who have proved their mettle in
battle. The men and women who defeated the Nazi brand
of Fascism with bullets can defeat the Red brand of
Fascism by raising their voices in behalf of Democracy
and by exposure and denunciation of every force which
weakens America.
The American Legion, ordained to bring together the
veterans of World War I to perpetuate the associations
made on foreign soil, is being expanded by the influx of
veterans of World War II, who likewise fought that
America might live. To allow America to become infected
with the malignant growth of Communism or to be in-
fested by crime is a breach of our trust to those who gave
their lives for American principles.
Let us gird ourselves with the determination that those
basic freedoms and spiritual ideals for which so many have
sacrificed so much shall not be destroyed from within.
Let us be steadfast for America, work and live for
America, and eternally be on guard to defend our Con-
--Stitution and our way of life against the virulent poison
of Communistic ideology.

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
POLICE COMMUNICATION OFFICERS
ASSOCIATION
J. D. HOSSACK, President
A. R. Taggart, SecretaryTreasurer
The Northern California Police Communication Of-
ficers' Association held their regular meeting in San Mateo
County at the H 6? H Ranch on September 12, 1946.
Our host was Walter Harrington who has established
such a reputation as host for our organization that all
members are reluctant to vote for a meeting in any other
county.
President Don Hossack opened the meeting with the
sad announcement that our good friend and most capable
secretary, Ralph Moore, would be unable to attend any
meetings for the next few months because of pressing
business activities, and asked that a new secretary be
elected at this meeting. This announcement was received
with regret, as Ralph has done an outstanding job for
the organization during the past year. The best of luck,
Ralph, and may you be back with us soon.
The minutes of the previous meeting were read and
approved.
On recommendation of the Frequency Committee, the
members present granted, by vote, frequency clearances as
follows: City of Medford, Oregon, clearance for two
mobile units, 30 watts power on 35.1 mcs. San Fran-
cisco Fire Department, Main Station, 250 watts FM, on
153.83 mcs. and 28 mobile units to be operated on 154.37
mcs. California Highway Patrol, two repeater frequencies,
(1) 73.22 mcs. for Blue Canyon, and (2) 74.5 mcs. for
Bloomer Mountain, with the agreement that if any ob-
jectionable interference was created, C. H. P. would
make a change. The Sacramento Police requested clear-
ance for one repeater frequency in the 74 mc. band, and
a mobile frequency in the 150 mc. band. This request
was tabled until a formal letter was received, and the
Frequency Committee can give the request further study.
Jack Barlich of Salinas was granted clearance for two
repeaters. (1) 74.02 mcs. for Williams Peak, and 74.38
mcs. for Mt. Toro. Alameda County Sheriff's Office re-
quested a change of frequency for their repeater in San
Mateo County to eliminate interference, from 34.70
mcs. to 76.26 mcs. This was granted. Redding Police
Department, Main Station and mobile units granted clear-
ance on 156.69 mcs.
George Burton of Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office
went to considerable trouble to furnish our organization
with mimeograph copies to be distributed to all Police
Agencies in Northern California. These copies set forth
the purposes of the N. C. P. C. O. A. and acquaint all
Police Agencies with the activities of this organization.
Two new members were voted into the N. C. P. C. O. A.
G. J. Pera of the San Francisco Fire Department, and
Everett Pence, San Mateo Police Department.
The meeting was recessed so all could enjoy the mar-
velous luncheon that the H fe? H Ranch prepared for us.
Introduction of members followed luncheon with Merrill
LeBoeuf introducing as his guest, Charlie Deatrich.
A. R. Taggart was elected secretary for the balance of
Ralph Moore's term ending December, 1946.
The technical discussion was opened with considerable
interest in the use of parasitic antennas. Jack Harlich
related his experiences with this type of antenna with a
certain measure of success. Jim Lewis acted as proxy for
Chief Don Wood of San Anselmo who never fails in
contributing to our technical discussion.
Chief of Police Ed. Wheeler of San Carlos showed con-
siderable knowledge of the intricacies of radio during his
discussion.
After a very short discussion regarding a place to hold
the next meeting, it was agreed to hold same at the H ^ H
Ranch in San Carlos on October 10, 1946.

He has had his men take advantage of all educational
courses having to do with law enforcement and to carry
out this idea he had his part in bringing about a two
week police academy course for all Sonoma County peace
officers last August, sponsored by the F. B. I., Highway
Patrol and local peace officials. Because he two years
ago completed a 14 weeks course at the F. B. I. National
Police Academy in Washington, D. C, graduating with
distinction, he got some ideas that he felt could be passed
on to his fellow officers if a concerted effort was made
and they all gathered seasonally to learn what was new
in enforcing the laws and review some of the things that
have been done in the past. He was the moving spirit in
this August meeting and much good has resulted from
this gathering.
Chief Flohr and his men have not been asleep on the
ever mounting traffic problem. A complete survey has
been made of the city and the laws are rigidly enforced.
Too, this survey has produced a number of public parking
lots that lessens the work of the police force.
Junior School Traffic control is something of which the
Police Department is very proud. At all schools during
recesses and before opening and closing for the school
day a uniformed officer is on hand to guide the junior
patrol boys and girls, and no injuries or deaths have
resulted from automobiles since this school safety program
has been in effect.

sonnel of the Santa Rosa Police Department well able to
take up any kind of law breaking and work on it intelli'
gently and with results. They have been trained so well,
have studied so consistently, have devoted their talents
with an appreciation of the fact that theirs is a public
service job upon which the safety of the people of their
city depends, that they are highly regarded by every citi-
zen of Santa Rosa.
Chief Flohr is equally highly esteemed not only by the
city council but by the people of his native city, the people
of Sonoma County and peace oiEcers throughout the state.
He is vice president of the Bay Counties Peace OiKcers'
Association and will be its president next year.
Getting his education in Santa Rosa schools Chief Flohr
graduated from Santa Clara University. Returning to his
native county he finally joined the Sheriif's staff in 1934.
Later he was selected as Chief of Police of Healdsburg
and held that position until June, 1940, when he was
picked to head the Santa Rosa Police Department.
Since he took over his present responsible job he has
done all in his power to better the conditions of the men
who serve under him and impart to them that theirs is
a work that one of these days will be classed as a profession.
Because of this interest in their behalf, and of his custom
of seeing that every oiEcer is given credit for a duty
well done he has the loyalty of every man on the force,
and that is the reason that but comparatively little crime
occurs in Santa Rosa and it explains that when some
crime does happen those responsible for the unlawful acts

are soon jerked out of circulation.
With a population of over 20,000 people Chief Flohr
is not unaware of what the future has in store for peace
officers of this nation during this postwar era. But we
will say that Santa Rosa's Chief and its department will
be well able to take care of any upsurge of crime.
The Santa Rosa Police Department has four 2-way radio
equipped patrol cars and two motorcycles similarly
equipped, served from F. M. Radio station KQDG.
The following four members of the Police Department
have returned from service in our armed forces: Captain
Jack Spaulding, Officers Norman Dilworth, Walter Leilea

4. The crime of forgery has shown an increase during
the past five years.

photographs at a homicide scene, is a proper flash bulb.
8. The so-called "Progressive Traffic Control System"
is virtually impracticable.
9. In vehicular homicides the relation^ip between the
skid marks and the speed of the automobile at the time
of the skid is of prime importance for the reason that
the relationship is definite.
10. The reason there is no noticeable upward trend in
the number of children killed by automobiles is because
of the traffic instruction given in schools, safety cam-
paigns, et cetera.
11. Uniform, nationwide, traffic laws would reduce
highway accidents.
12. In searching a suspect, immediately upon arrest,
the first thing to do is remove property that is required
as evidence.
13. In so-called "entrapment" cases both the officer
who created the situation and the party arrested have
breached the law.
14. "Contraband Control" is maintained for the secur-
ing of public revenue and the protection of public health
and morals.
15. One of the principal uses of a "traffic flow map" is
to show whether additional traffic patrolmen may be re-
quired, or additional traffic lights.
16. The principal reason for the increase in the num-

ber of traffic tags issued it: The stipulated fines are too
small — whence are no deterrent.
17. At scenes of strikes and other labor troubles

motorcycle patrolmen are more useful than foot patrolmen.
18. City highway fatalities, statistics show, are due to
three chief causes: Jay- walking, crossing against signals,
and collisions.
19. It is characteristic of narcotic sellers that they
conduct their sales on the streets.
20. A "spot map," showing location and distribution
of aliens, is of very definite assistance to both police de-

tion is fortunate in having J. M. Lewis and his capable
assistant, Fred Stone, in charge. No one has done more
than Mr. Lewis to perfect and to co-ordinate the Radio
with law enforcement.
For criminal identification the Association looks to the
Sheriff's Office and the Sausalito Police Department. Mr.
Baker is the spark plug at the Sheriff's Office and Chief
of Police James Doyle has his department in the hands of
his right hand man, Frank French. These two depart-
ments combined have about the best identification bureau
of any county in the state.
The Association divides its functions to standing com-
mittees, as follows:
Executive Committee, Chief Frank Kelly, Chairman.
Law and Legislation, A. E. Bagshaw, Chairman.
Mutual Aid, Captam Howard Clark, Chairman.
Retirement, Chief Donald Wood, Chairman.
Prison Break, Sheriff Walter Sellmer, Chairman.
Communication and Identification, L. Baker, Chairman.
Rehabilitation. Chief Frank Kelly. Chairman.
Juvenile Delinquency, Edmund Blum, Chairman.
Fire Arms. H. O. Peters. Chairman.
Sgt. at Arms, Sylvester D. Nolan, Chairman.
The Association meets monthly and the place of meet-
ing is rotated. The meetings are in character a business
and dinner meeting, thus creating good fellowship, as well
as discussing law enforcement problems. Each month a
noted or well versed speaker brings the organization a
message.
The officers for the year 1946 are as follows:
Thomas Wentworth, President ; Frank Kelly, First 'Vice-
President; Capt. Emory Dawson, Second 'Vice President;
John R. Flor, Secretary and Treasurer.

aluminum casings which eliminate vibrations and stabilizes
the transmission system.
In Piedmont, Al.imeda County, was installed the first
2 -way radio system in the state and possibly the first in
the nation. McMurphy builds all the transmitters while
receiving sets are purchased from various radio equip-
ment manufacturers.
McMurphy has synchronized the receiving and the
transmitting sots. There are still '"bugs" in the system
but the radio technician is working them out one by one.
"The reception of the 2-way system is our greatest
problem," s;iys McMurphy. "As every radio engineer
knows sound waves travel in a straight line. Lower levels
must be met by broadcasting developing on an equal or
.1 higher level.
"But if a broadcast is made from a higher level the
sound will travel down in perfect form to contact the
receiving mechanism on the lower levels.
"But for 100 per cent use of the transmitter system
higher elevation than patrol cars in the radius of the
transmitter is necessary.
"Radio waves travel a straight line. When a 2-way
radio car wants to transmit a message to his office terrain,
high and low levels, become an important factor. The
operator of the car may be able to receive messages from
headquarters but his replies are often handicapped by
intervening elevations. That is why the transmitting sta-
tion is always placed on higher terrain."
To facilitate the transmitting police radio, an auto-
matic transmitting station has been established on Mt.
Diablo, the meridian mountain, rising almost a mile
high out of flat Contra Costa County. Because this sta-
tion is far higher than those of Oakland, and immediate
territory their transmissions drop down to lower levels
and can be quickly relayed to the patrol cars.
Mt. Diablo covers the North, East and West sections.
Intervening Contra Costa hills prevent it from sweeping
far westward, And it is at this point that McMurphy and
the Alameda County Sheriff's staff become important to
the metropolitan bay area.
The transmitting and receiving station, located on part
of the Alameda hospital district, is on an elevation of
approximately 400 fett above sea level. But high steel
towers bring the station close to the Mt. Diablo automatic
transmission system. Messages come in clear cut. In turn
these are relayed to the radio patrol cars in the entire
area west of Diablo.
Sheriff Gleason's office through McMurphy is centering
its efforts on further development of the 2-way radio
police system.
There is a most definite effort to coordinate local, state-
wide and national police broadcasts so that all such
broadcasts are received and coded by every radio equipped
car in the nation.
This means that the federal radio commission is work-
ing out radio frequencies that will make possible a co-
ordinated national "h(K)k-up."

Such a "hook-up" will save minutes, hours, days and
weeks on checking "arrests on suspicion." Arrests on
suspicion, as every law enforcement agency knows, means
that the suspect can only be held 24 hours by police au-
thorities unless a certified warrant for his arrest is sub-
mitted to the arresting agency within that period.
"Many a wanted criminal has been turned loose be-
cause of the present delay in transmitting proper hold
warrants," says McMurphy. "With a coordinated radio
nation-wide system this would be eliminated as courts
have ruled that the recorded spoken word is as legal as
the written word. The radio spans this gap of time. For
example: we have in custody a suspect who is wanted in
New York. We could telephone New York and they
would say 'yes we want him, papers are on their way.'
But this is not sufficient to cover the period a suspect
may be held. Airmail is not as fast as that. But if New
York broadcast from its radio the wording of the warrant
for hold and arrest, every 2 -way radio police car and
every 2 -way radio police station would have the recorded
warrant, which would be legal. That is what the police
departments of the nation are waiting for. It will prevent
release of wanted criminals. It will be a big step forward
in thwarting crime and in rounding up wanted criminals."
A valuable asset to Shcriif Gleason's oifice is a com-
plete portable radio system — a radio sending and receiv-
ing station on wheels — mounted on an auto truck chassis
and in a trailer a complete power unit with extensive
lighting facilities.
The "radio station on wheels" was purchased from
the war assets administration at a total cost of $4^00. It
is not only a complete radio system but it carries spare
parts for every unit of the elaborate mechanism of radio
as well as spare parts for the automotive equipment and
the power and lighting unit.
As far as known Alameda county is the first in the
nation to possess such an auxiliary radio system, most
valuable in times of disaster and extreme emergencies such
as big fires, terriffic traffic jams.
The portable 2 -way radio system can operate direct
from the scene of the disaster. It has immediate contact
with all radio equipped cars on the same level of terrain.
One man can sit inside and handle the entire system,
including flood lighting is necessary'.
And Brower McMurphy, radio technician of Sheriff
Jack Gleason's statf, is in charge of both the permanent and
the portable 2 -way radio systems in Alameda County.

It Is Yours to Make the Choice... Gentleman or Show-off?
By Opie L. Warner
To one of the members of the firm who ran the then
Greatest Show on Earth is generally attributed the expres-
sion "There is one born every minute."
Personally, I think the great Barnum was altogether
too modest in his estimation of so-called suckers. Any-
one who has reached his majority will readily admit that
a half a million annual prospects for this so popular
group is miles away from the actual figure.
It is safe to say any sane person will admit, to his self
at least, that he has been a veritable sucker on various
occasions. If he does not secretly admit this fact, he is
indeed an egotist to the extent of insanity.
The victims of crafty and designing people form a
large percentage of the population of the village, the town
and the city. The unwary always pay and this paying is
done by them all over this broad land.
Partly through the sharp business practices so prevalent
in this day and age and partly through the spirit of
larceny that seems to be in all of us alike, whether we are
learned or illiterate, uncouth or refined, all of us are more
or less in the sucker group.
Considering the question carefully, however, I feel that
admitting that to err is human, and that there is a defense-
less side to each one's character or mental setup, I see not
. the slightest reason for feeling ashamed to be classed as
one of the half million a year which Mr. P. T. Barnum
stated were born to be fleeced — to be just a prey for their
more conniving brothers.
But I do feel a sane, healthy adult should chafe at the
idea of being classed as a member of that half-of-one
per cent group of untouchables who walk only in the
paths of righteousness — according to their own appraise-
ment— of course.
Self-elected members of this class — and they all are

A person who elects himself to the sucker sour class
should hie himself to the forest or the desert and live
alone in self-glorification, far away from all opportunity
of being shocked at the silliness of the ordinary human
being.
The great P. T. Barnum employed high priced spielers
to lure the thousands who thronged the circus grounds
into the side shows housing the Siamese Twins, the Petri-
fied Man, the Cardiff Giant, the Bearded Lady, the
Patagonian Midget, etc., etc.
But such high priced spielers remained on the payroll
only up to the moment that they showed a flash of anger
or a sneer at the simplest country yokel who hovered
in front of the tent containing one or another of Barnum's
colossal curiosities. He wanted no sucker sour salesman.
Previous first class salesmanship was instantly forgotten
— the sucker sour spieler did not belong in his organization.
In every line of endeavor we run across people who
evidently are humble enough to realize that to err is
human; that the perfect man is yet to be born.
From this class of people we are sure of courteous
treatment. They are ready to laugh with us, or to sym'
pathize with us as the occasion requires. In the natural
course of business we do not seek to avoid or evade such
people. At all events, they do not lose their popularity
nor their friendships through their own fault.
But how about the party who acts superior, puts on
airs, or occasionally is so grouchy as to be more or less
insulting? Well, as far as possible, we do not have any-
thing to do with this superior party; and we certainly

would not waste praise nor friendship on him.
In private concerns a premium is placed upon efficiency
and so-called personality — of the agreeable and likeable
kind — is highly appreciated and made a part of the record
of the particular individual, as kept in a personnel de-
partment.
Now, if salesmen, investigators, and the various groups
of employees on the tens of thousands of payrolls are being
adjudged mainly by their affability and gift of pleasing
the public in a business manner, we can easily imagine
how absolutely necessary the kindly disposition type of
man is to a police department.
The police officer, it is true, performs a hundred dif-
ferent varieties of duties, dealing directly with assistance
to the public, individually and collectively. But then
again, in the matter of law enforcement, he is the public
representative of the state and his municipality. Thus, he
is not always a strictly welcome visitor.
As a police officer, his task is much more difficult that
that of an ordinary public representative, hence he must
possess all the more patience and more fortitude.

Jipvember, J 946
Of all people, he can not, under any circumstances,
tend to be sucker sour. Tliis vice — properly so called —
must not appear, in the slightest degree, in his voice or
manner. He, being the paid servant of all the people, must
remember that any tendency on his part, as a police officer,
to act bored, will be instantly observed.
Even in his manner of conveying children, or blind, or
disabled people across the street, he may not display even
a slight coldness. One officer performing those little nice-
ties in a perfunctory manner will offset, in the minds of
onlookers, all the genuine goodwill engendered by such
little acts performed by 499 of his brother officers during
that same day.
Truly the lot of a police officer is arduous indeed.
But he should remember that he, as an individual officer,
is not on his own, but actually representing a thousand
odd fellow officers; that as he acts so all these brave fellow
workers will be judged; that there is no room today in
any well regulated business for the man or the woman,
or even the executive who has gone sucker sour.

THE CANDID FRIEND SAYS:
By QpiE L. Warner
There is a tide in the affairs of men. According to the
great Williani Shakespeare, if the particular man or men
fail to take advantage of that "tide" they really and truly
become a member of that great throng of humans who
huddle behind the so-called 8-ball.
In our San Francisco Police Department of the present
date we have 164 sergeants and 45 lieutenants. Roughly
at least 200 of this group have prepared for the test that
will determine whether they will float on in the "tide"
that the great poet so aptly describes.
Well, the old law of averages has, down through the
ages, seemed to always prevail, and we will thus find
that, along about Christmas or New Year's we will of-
ficially know our future "commissioned officers" in the
San Francisco Police Department. They will be our
future commissioned officers because they have not "lost"
the tide Bill Shakespeare speaks of but because of their
slogan being "excelsior" and their week in and week
out aim being to get ahead by every effort in their power.

in the outcoming lists for captains and lieutenants will
be outstanding police officers who do not believe in Santa
Claus — men who believe that you have to fight hard for
what is worth while.
In our modern police department promotions the com-
petitor with an alibi or two for his low standing on the
list is heard with deference rather than conviction.
The top jobs in any line of business today are not held
by in laws of the big bosses or by a group who happen to
be on the inside track for one reason or another. We
live in a cruelly practical age. Competition is at razor
edge. Only class A men hold the key positions. The
man who repines at his mediocre standing in an organiza-
tion is virtually advertising his own lack of competency.
The sergeants and the lieutenants of the police depart-
ment who move up a grade as a result of this promotional
test will be men who go heart and soul after promotion in
their chosen life work — men of vision, energy and de-
termination, men who richly deserve our most sincere re-
spect and admiration.
The San Francisco police department is a growing or-
ganization with lots of room at the top for those who have
the heart and the stamina to get there. The department
turn over is considerable hence the industrious man does
not have the slightest excuse to consider he has no future
other than, as a patrolman, to bide the time until he has
service enough to have a day watch.
In our next issue we will probably have landed on the
eligible lists for the position of lieutenant and captain re-
spectively. From these lists will undoubtedly be missing
the names of some outstanding men. Competition is like
a game of poker — someone has to win. If the cards dealt
you are not in your favor there is nothing you can do
about it. The stakes are high in this coming game. It takes
courage to even sit in. Our deepest sympathy goes to the
game contestant who draw a losing hand.

Public Must Realize Crime Situation
By Alec K. McAllister, Sacramento Chief of Police
Crime Marches On.
That simple but revealing phrase tells in capsule form
the story of police work during the last year. Fram prac-
tically every city in the country have come reports of
increases in nearly every branch of crime. Robberies,
burglaries, thefts, murders, rapes and all other types of
vicious crimes are on the increase.
And it seems to me there is one answer to the police
Chief Alec K. McAllister
problems presented by the upsurge in crime that we officers
often pay little attention to : An aroused citizenry :
It is time, and high time, that the people themselves
come to realize crime is not something that concerns only
the police. It is time that business men and laborers, pre
fessional men and housewives awakened to the realization
that the spectre of crime in staring at each one of them
individually.
The people have got to realize their duty does not
end when they pay their tax dollars to support the law
enforcement officers they depend upon for protection.
And it is up to those of us who are in the law enforcement
business to see that the public knows just what the situa-
tion is.
Most police departments during the months immediately
following the end of the war undoubtedly found them-
selves in the same position in which we in Sacramento
found ourselves.
We were badly undermanned. Our equipment was
worn and insufficient. Higher paying jobs were attracting
the best men, and our policemen were obviously underpaid.
Working conditions, particularly hours and pay, had not
kept pace with the advances made by other groups of
working men. And on top of all this, our city was
swollen with a wartime population that was here to stay,
adding to and even multiplying the problems which con-
fronted us.
Under such conditions there was nothing to be done
without public support. We needed to have the people
know that policemen's working conditions must be im-
proved, that the department had to have new equipment
and more men even if it meant increasing taxes.
And I am proud to say that we have received almost
unhoped for pubHc support The people here realize that
unless enough money is spent to hire capable men, equipped
with the finest equipment, they are likely to be in trouble.
As a result of this backing by the public and the city
fathers we are building a bigger and better Police De-
partment in Sacramento than the city has ever before
known. Since the end of the war we have increased the
Department's personnel by approximately 10 per cent.
We will need more men in the future and we expect to
have little trouble in getting the necessan' approval for
hiring them.
Our officers in all brackets have received pay increases.
Because of an insufficiency of city funds we did not get
as much as we had hoped to, but this situation can be
remedied in the future.
We have been furnished with better equipment despite
the material shortages, and more is on the way.
And we in the Sacramento Police Department are
proud of the way in which we have met the additional
problems piled on us since VJ Day. Crime has increased

in Sacramento as it has everywhere else, but we are happy
to say that through hard work we also have built up our
clearances to an all-time high. We have increased the
strength of the various departmental units, particularly
the Detective Division and believe we are making real
progress in the fight to stem the tide of crime.
Law enforcement officials well know the hazards exist-
ing within their respective cities, just as we know them in
Sacramento. The big question mark, however, is: Does
the public know?
Let me say again that I believe one of the first duties
of policemen everywhere is to see that the citizens, and
the legislative and administrative officials of their com-
munities know the hazards we are facing. Then and then
only can aggressive, competent and efficient law enforce-
ment begin.
Now, in the postwar period of reconstruction, we are
faced with problems similar to those which presented
themselves after the first world war. But now they exist
on a much larger scale. If history is not to repeat itself
during this period we must avoid the mistakes we made
List time by tiking prompt and effective action to battle
the criminal elements with every weapon we have and
in every way we know.
Law enfrrccmcnt agencies, too, arc faced now with
11CW problems. One of the most dangerous — and we in
Sacramento arc taking steps to counteract it — is the fact
that so many pistols and other weapons of every descrip-
tion were broi'.ght into th's country by returning ser-
vicemen.
Many of these weapons arc finding their way through
the pawn shops and other mediums, into the hands of
the criminal element. Not only is an unarmed man much
less dangerous than one who has a pistol, but the man
with the gun has a lot more nerve and is likely to do
thing? he otherwise would not dare to do.
Another problem is the fact that there is so much Icxjse
money around. During normal times a stickup man could
expect only a small haul for a pretty big risk in robbing
the man who runs the corner grocery store. But now there
is more money in the burglary and robbery business and
more temptation lies in the path of the criminal.
In other words, in addition to the normal elements of
crime in the world, we now have stacked up against
civilization more incentives to crime as an aftermath of
the war.
Consequently, it is up to us as law enforcement officers,
to our city officials, and to the public, to get into the
fight against crime and to rrive everything we have.
Crime may be marching on, but the Nazis were stopped
and the march of crime can be brought to a standstill,
t'x>. And it will be.
In the Sacramento Police Department that officer is
Sergeant Zelber C. Pressey.
Pressey has served as secretary to three Chiefs of Police
in Sacramento, and despite the fact that he handles the
most ticklish matters that come up regarding personnel,
he hasn't an enemy in town.
Pressey is one of those quietly efficient fellows who
never raise their voices, never get excited, but know evefiij:
minute just what is going on and exactly what to do
about it.
He came to the police department as a civilian property!!
clerk on May 'i, 1924. The following year he took the
police examination and was appointed to the force. His
job as property clerk, handling the many thousands of
dollars worth of goods which pass through a Police
Department, was handled so well he was promoted in 1931.
Chief William Hallanan was looking around for a new
secretary and decided he had a fine prospect in his prop-
erty clerk. When Hallanan retired Chief Austin J,
Roche kept Pressey on as his secretary, and Chief Alec K.
McAllister did the same.
Chief McAllister paid his secretary a fine compliment —
which is echoed by just about everybody who knows the
tough job he does — recently when he said:
"If it weren't for Pressey I don't know how I'd run
thi.s office. I call on him dozens of times a day for in-
formation, records and other things and every time he
knows the answer or where he can find it."
Pressey is married, has no children, is past president of
the local partlor of the Native Sons and a former officer
in the Masonic Order.
Before joining the police force he gained valuable ex-
perience with the Southern Pacific Company and the
Wells Fargo Express Company.
Z. C PRESSEY— CHIEF'S EFFICIENT
SECRETARY
Vou can always find, in a smooth working organization,
one fellow who operates quietly in the background fitting
a lot of the pieces together.
SEATTLE POLICE PAIR STUDY
S. F. P. D. RECORDS
Last month San Francisco had two distinguished police
officials from Seattle as visitors. They were Assistant
Chief P. B. Batson and Superintendent of Police Records
L. D. Johnson.
After calling on Chief Charles W. Dullea and stating
the purpose of their visit, that is to study workings of the
communications, bureau, and statistical records and other
recording methods used by the San Francisco Polices
Department, with the view of applying the systems usc<
here in the revamping of the Seattle Police Department'!
recording, the Chief turned them over to Director of
Communication George Hippely. For four days they
studied the systems used under the direction of Georg(
Hippely, and were very lavish in their praise of th(
thoroughness with which they arc handled.
The fifth day they went to Santa Rosa with Director
Hippely :'nd attended the meeting of the Bay Countiei
Peace Officers' Association, and they were very deeply
impressed by the meeting of all branches of law enforce^
ment, and stated that the trip to Santa Rosa was worth
alone their coming here.

Sacramento's Police Training
Page 5
Postwar criminals who plan to operate in Sacramento
will be up against the best trained police force this city
ever has had.
The departments training program, stymied during the
war years tor lack of help and other reasons is really
getting under way.
Assistant Chief Frit: Kaminsky, who is in charge, is
planning the most intensive training schedule ever seen
here, to start early next year.
Deputy Chief Frit: Kaminsky
For all newcomers to the force the courses will be a
must, and many of the old timers also have shown an in-
terest and will be attending classes.
"We plan to start at the beginning and go through
every phase of police work." Kaminsky said. "We will
have classes on making arrests and raids, gathering evi-
dence, testif^ang in court, and all other phases of police
work.
"We want to place special emphasis on the manner in
which an officer should proceed once his case gets to
court and he takes the witness stand. Policemen often
endanger their chances of getting a conviction, even
though a defendant is guilty, because they do not present
their evidence properly.
"Another thing we plan to do a lot of work on is
practice with pistols and other weapons. The number
of armed robberies being staged in all parts of the country
shows plainly the need for every policeman to be able
to handle himself in difficult situations."
Kaminsky and other supervisory officers were impressed
recently with the exhibitions of double action pistol shoot-
ing put on by FBI agents here. They point out that for
years many pistol experts have considered the fast action
method inaccurate and not too practical.
"But a good many of our officers, including myself.
became convinced after practice with the new method the
FBI is teaching, that it is nighly practical," Kaminsky said.
"We are going to do a lot more practice with it in the
future."
Next year's classes also will deal with the handling of
sawed off shotguns and Thompson machine guns.
Not only will the local police experts be called on
for help in putting on the program, but the FBI, the
State Bureau of Investigation and Identification, and
others have agreed to help.
Municipal Judge James M. McDonnell, who handles
the police court cases and City Prosecutor Mervin Reith
are planning to give a helping hand, along v.ith repre-
sentatives of the district attorney's office.
Among the courses will be classes in counterfeiting,
narcotics, hurglar>' and robbery investigations and other
subjects.
Sergeant Kenneth Johnson will aid Kaminsky in carrj'-
ing out the program.
The courses now being planned are nothing new here,
however. Since the end of the war several training sessions
have been conducted and as recently as last month a three-
d?.y pistol shoot w'as held.
FBI Agents Eugene Jones and Eugene Minoux, aided
by Kaminsky and Johnson, staged the meet, w'hich was
considered highly successful.
In addition to these steps, the department is concen-
tr.iting on the training of would-be policemen on the

Captain George Lofquist
The Department is justly proud of the records hung
up by its serviceman members, who ranged in rank from
buck privates to full colonels and saw service with every
branch of the armed forces in every theater of the war.
And full advantage is being taken of the experience

they attained, as evidenced by the fact that many are
now in supervisory positions and others are slated for
promotions as soon as vacancies occur.

^Taddy Hustler*^ Held for Murder
Bv Opie L. Warner
On Thursday, November 21, of this year, Clarence
Jesse James, aHas "Fat Man," was held to answer for
the murder of Alfred Barr whom he stabbed to death on
the morning of November 1, 1946.
At vanous times since 1942, James has been arrested
for petty theft, vagrancy — and once for a violation of
Ordinance 1869 ("paddy hustling"). But he has never
been punished.
He was born m Louisiana in 1928, and commencing in
1942, when he was only fourteen years old, he was first
Lieutenant Timothy Burke
arrested here. He has been arrested seven times since.
He graduated into the murder class through his second
arrest for "paddy hustling."
On November 1, 1946, at 1:00 a. m., Alfred Barr,
manager of the Barr Motel, 1170 McAllister street, was
awakened by a noise outside his apartment door. On
opening the door to investigate he was attacked, and, in
the struggle, was stabbed thirteen times, in the presence
of Mrs. Barr who vainly tried to save her husband from
the killer.
The only information the police obtained from Mrs. Barr
was that the killer limped, was wearing a grey hat and
an overcoat which she could not describe. She also told
the police that she had struck the murderer on the head
with an ash tray and probably wounded him.
Lieutenant Timothy Burke and the members of his
Homicide detail felt the case indicated an example of
"paddy hustling." They showed Mrs. Barr photographs
in the Identification Bureau of "paddy hustlers," also of
burglars and bunco men, but she failed to make an identi-
fication although It later proved that she had been shown
the photograph of the "paddy hustler" who had so brutally
killed her husband. She explained her lack of knowledge
as to what the killer looked like by stating that, in that
brief life-and-death struggle, her only thought was to aid
her World War I veteran iiusband.
The police had to find a burglar, or a vagrant or a
"paddy hustler" — but what had they to go on?
According to Mrs. Barr's story, the killer limped, wore
a grey hat, also wore an overcoat — and possibly might
have a cut on his head and face as a result of her having
struck him with an ash tray.
To find the killer in a city of the size of San Francisco
with the meagre information at hand was indeed a
problem.
Lieutenant Tim Burke and his aides of the homicide
detail. Inspectors Martin Lee and George Heeg, dijd some
quick theorizing and immediately set to work carrying
their line of reasoning into eifect.
One angle of this line of reasoning was that if the
murderer happened to be a "paddy hustler" his place of
residence would not be many blocks from the scene of
the murder. In that highly congested district it meant
a lot of work to run across a man with a limp. And, if
such a party were found he would have to be tied on to
the murder otherwise than being afflicted with a limp.
True, Mrs. Barr was sure she struck him quite violently
on the head and face, and, no doubt, he was marked con-
siderably. But this thought was at least a straw to clutch.
Another, possibility was that the murderer would
be an habitue of one or more of the various pool rooms
and taverns in the Hayes Valley and Fillmore districts.

Sacramento's Detective Bureau
December,
194m
Sacramento's Detective Bureau has continued during
the last year a winning battle against the upsurge of crime.
Under the leadership of Chief of Detectives W. A.
Thomas, the department's plainclothes men have set an
enviable record. In fact at this writing the percentage of
major crimes being solved is just about at an all-time high.
Chief of Detectives W. A. Thomas
thanks in large measure to the aggressive and alert work
being done by the detectives.
Thomas, and Police Chief Alec K. McAllister, recog-
nizing the need for change in facing the challenge of an
ever more active criminal element, have reshuffled the
duties of the men in the detective bureau three times this
year to pinpoint enforcement at the particular crime trend
of the moment.
Thomas, who is well known for the able work he did
in helping solve the famous Duchess Spinelli murder case
and the Bramble arson case, is ably assisted by Captain
M. W. Lincecum and Sergeants Martin Charles and
Kenneth C. Johnson.
Thomas, assisted by Johnson, handles the department
during the daytime and Lincecum, assisted by Charles,
is in charge at night.
The latest reshuffling of duties in the bureau places
Charles at the head of an eight-man squad which is
charged with combatting and preventing robberies and
burglaries.
Thomas and Chief McAllister got together recently to
devise ways and means of handling the increasing number
of robberies and burglaries, which has affected Sacra-
mento as well as the rest of the country. They decided
they needed one man at the head of a squad of efficient
and hard working detectives to handle the problem.
They picked Sergeant Charles because of his impressive
record in the department. Most of his years on the force
have been spent in the detective bureau and his record is
enviable. He is known as one of the hardest working
policemen on the force, who thinks nothing of working
18 or 20 hours at a stretch without even stopping for a
rest if he is following a lead that looks promising.
Before he was made a sergeant in 1945, Charles haof
died most of the jobs in the detective bureau. He made
f^
I
Sergeant Martin Charles
a particular name for himself as head of the arson and
auto theft squads. But even if a certain job was not in
line with the work he happened to be doing at the
moment, Charles never hestiated to drop his assignment
when asked, and to take on a really tough case.
His record of arrests and convictions is something to
be proud of, and his friends believe he will do even better
with his present assignment, which is one of the most
difficult in police work in Sacramento today.
Sergeant K. C. Johnson
Aiding Charles on the new squad are these officers!
Otto Dahl, Jack Greenlaw, James Lyons, Robert
Rauschert, A. L. White, Glenn Ticknor and Ray DehnerJ
Ticknor and Dehner are promising newcomers to plai

proved their ability through the years.
Sacramento's Detective Bureau is justly proud of th
work done by its members during recent years. Not onll
has the unit been highly successful in solving the im^

Capt. Lincecum Sacramento^s Able Detective
Ask any policeman in Sacramento what he thinks of
Buck Lincecum and you'll get the same answer: He's a
great guy.
He has a pretty fancy handle when you mull it over
for a while — Monte W. Lincecum — but he has hundreds
of friends who don't know the first part of it. He's Buck
so he now is back at his old stand as night Captain of
Detectives.
Buck has for years been one of the most active members
of the Footprinters and is past president of the local
chapter. He also is a member of the wrecking crew of
the Shrine. He is married and has two children.
Captain M. W. Lincecum
to a good many hundreds of people in northern California
and points in all directions.
Buck is a regular army sergeant who made good in the
police business. He served a hitch and saw the world
wth Uncle Sam's Army before settling in Sacramento
and joining the police force in 1925. He is a native of
Texas and if you listen closely you still can hear a trace
of a drawl when he speaks.
It was not long after he joined the department that
the brass hats realized they had a real policeman in
Lincecum. After serving as a beat man and a jailor he
was assigned to the detective division.
His record on the major crime detail still is something
that the young fellows in the detective bureau aim at,
but few, if any, have equalled the record he set during
those years.
When Alec K. McAllister became chief nearly nine
years ago one of his first acts was to see to it that Buck
was given a captaincy.
Twice this year Buck has been shifted so the department
could have full advantage of his experience and ability.
Early this year it was decided the uniformed platoons
needed strengthening and he was placed in charge of
one of them.
Then this fall the higher ups decided he was missed in
his old job and the Detective Bureau needed strengthening

Captain Jesse Jackson, Head of Personnel and
Training Division, Directs Schooling in Police
Work o( More Than 500 Oakland Patrolmen
By B. S. (Sandy) Sanders
Retired Oakland Police Reporter, Editor and Writer
To the 500 men of Oakland's Police Department, Cap-
tain Jesse Jackson, head of the personnel and training
division, is known as "the principal," or "his nihs," the
choice of title being an entirely individual matter.
At any rate Captain Jackson is directional chief of
Oakland's police school, providing a stiff course of training
Captain Jesse Jackson
in every branch of police work, embracing the municipal,
county, state and federal laws dealing with crime and
lawbreakers.
Time was when a patrolman was just a cop. Time was
when he simply broke up gang fights, rounded up the
"bad boys" of the neighborhood, grinned and chatted with
friendly homeowners, pulled the "hook" to bring the
patrol wagon for a belligerent drunk and occasionally
swapped shots with a fleeing burglar or holdup man.
Those days are gone. The Old Frontier of "gun play"
Jias vanished. Crime has taken on new and more subtle
clothes. Laws have changed. The modern police officer
must be both a police officer and a lawyer.
It's no longer a question of "Who started this fight?"
It's a question : "Does the law back the law enforce-
ment agent?"
Roiled down : Is the police officer on firm, legal ground?
Will his decision, his action, stand the test in a court
of law?
Recognizing that police officers must always be abreast
of the times, that his duties demand a knowledge far
beyond that of a husky fellow carrying a night stick
and a gun. Chief of Police Robert P. Tracy of Oakland
has developed "the Police Training School."
And presiding over this school is Captain Jesse Jackson
In addition to the mechanics of arrest, the tricks of
judo, arrests involving autos, disarming and self-protection
brought to a fine point by FBI men under J. Edgar Hoover,
today's police officer must know the general subject of
criminal procedure, which includes criminal court proce-
dure and presentation of cases.
Captain Jackson has taken on the job of teaching the
500 members of the Oakland police department — a brush
up course — in fundamentals of law enforcement such as
when and why to make arrests in addition to accuracy
of proper investigation and identification — that local, state
and national laws may not go awry in a court hearing.
"Principal" Jackson in his years as beat copper, ser-
geant, inspector, lieutenant has gone through the necessary
training to qualify him as "teacher" to Oakland's police
force.
The Oakland police school really trains the peace officer,
with a mild voice. Captain Jackson as principal, possessing
a wide knowledge and understanding of human behavior,
student of municipal, state, national criminal laws, wise
in the devious methods that the modern lawbreaker use
to side-step the long arm of the law.
"We're fortunate in having Captain Jackson in this
position," says Chief Tracy. "We depend on him to
round out the training of Oakland police officers, be they
recruits or older members, all of whom have come into
the Department under rigid civil service examinations."
Captain Jackstin calls upon veteran and experienced
members of the Department, from time to time, to present
special phases of police work. Recently Inspector George
Keller took up the complexities of identification and pre
sentation of evidence. Class discussion followed, centering
about dying declarations, confessions and the taking of
notes for refreshing of past recollections. It was empha
sized that the officer must not only know what to do but
what not to do.
Sergeant Bob L. Sandstrum is recognized as director
of the school and Inspector A. J. Morgenthal in charge
of communications — a very vital part of police work.
Classroom lectures are given in the basement of thi
Oakland City Hall. They embrace, in all, 175 hours of
class study.
Ten hours of this time is devoted to criminal investiga-
tion, 3 hours to identification and presentation of evidence,
and one hour to arson investigation.

North Sacramento
Page U
North Sacramento, with a mile square city hmits, houses
over 4500 permanent residents, but is the central gathering
point of 40,000 more people who are engaged in agricul-
ture, industry' and various other forms of endeavor by
which they make their living.
Situated a couple of miles from the northern limits of
the city of Sacramento, it has as its main highway an
extra wide boulevard, which is part of Highways 40, and
99, and for that part through North Sacramento it is
known as Del Paso Boulevard. Well built county roads
converge on this main artery', bringing in the added
thousands who find this little city a swell place for recrea-
tion, and one whose stores offer all the necessities of life.
Del Paso Boulevard is one of the heaviest travelled
highways in this country. Official trafiic checks show that
as many as 49,000 automobile passed over its smooth
surface in 24 hours. These gasoline buggies are headed
for or are returning from the high Sierra, Reno and other
Nevada points, and the East over Route 40. Others are
going to or returning from the Upper Sacramento towns
and cities, and the Shasta country and Oregon and Wash-
ington over Route 99.
With all this heavy traffic the accidents are compara-
tively few.
Del Paso is a well lighted highway and more lights
will be provided within the next few months. It is true
that accidents do occur and until a short time ago, until
North Sacramento's able Chief of Police Ray J. Sutton,
unable to get funds for the purchase of a police ambu-
lance, took matters in his own hands, and enlisting the
assistance of the International Lions Club in Sacramento,
went among the public spirited citizens of the town and
raised sufficient funds to purchase a 2 -litter up-to-date
ambulance.
Chief Sutton, who was 40 years of age on November
30, hails from Colorado, and migrated West in 1922,
settling in North Sacramento. He engaged in the trucking
business until 1932 when he joined the Police Depart-
ment of his adopted city. The late E. Fish, was Chief
of Police and was killed by two murderous highwaymen
who arc now laying out life sentences in San Quentin.
Officer Sutton worked up to Assistant Chief of Police
under Chief of Police Carse Beam, and when the latter
resigned to move to Iselton, Assistant Sutton was selected
by the City Council to take over the responsible job of
Chief on February 11, 1940.
He has served over six years as head of the Police De-
partment, and no Chief of Police has given more of his
energy, time, study and courage than he has given to giving
the people of his jurisdiction the highest in law enforce-
ment and crime protection.
He sits mighty' well with the governing body of North
Sacramento for he has had no difficulty of keeping his job
though there have been numerous city elections since he
took over.
There are scarcely any burglaries or robberies noted
during this entire year in North Sacramento, but to the
Sacramento Police Department, through which he has his
patrol cars hooked up with two-way radio, the SheriflF
office and other neighboring law enforcement agencies.
Chief Sutton and his force of five men have rendered
timely and efi^ective service in assisting in the apprehension
of wanted criminals who were fleeing from the scene of
their crimes, and figured to get through North Sacra-
mento without being stopped. Foolish men these, for
many of them have been stopped by the alertness of the
town's capable police force.
The personnel of the North Sacramento Police Depart-
ment consists of Assistant Chief WiUiam Watson, Officers
Percy Gassway, Clare Grunwell, Lawrence Craven and
Carl Hooper.
C. F. Bender is the Police Commissioner and he is a
hundred per cent for his Police Department.
Chief Sutton was married in 1939 and the couple have
two children, a boy and a girl.
Yes, sir, we've been up to North Sacramento and there
met a former San Franciscan with whom we have been
mighty well acquainted with, one Ray Stewart, motor
court operator, with the Palms Motel one of his most
important, and Ray Stewart tells us that North Sacra-
mento is a mighty fine place to live in and it has law
abiding citizens and he claims Chief Sutton and his boys
have kept and are keeping out of his new found haven
all evil doers with criminal tendencies.

The Necessity of Cooperation
By Ray T. Wallace, Chief of Police, Fresno, California
December, 1946
Continued cooperation between all memhers of the
various law enforcement agencies in California to the
end that our people may enjoy the blessings of a Democ-
racy is a definite "must" in the minds of those of us whose
lives are devoted to this honorable profession.
We have emerged from World War II with depleted
staffs, an untrained personnel but with a record of which
we may well be proud. By any standards of criteria, we
may feel justly proud of it. However, for the maintenance
of that record we must remember that we are like the
four wheels of an automobile. We must continue in the
same line to obtain the deserved goal of a just and lasting
Chief Ray T. Wallace
peace. This holds for the ninety odd members of the
Fresno Police Department, the forty-four deputies of my
good friends Sheriff George J. Overholt of Fresno County,
the twenty members of the personnel of the California
Highway Patrol assigned to this area and the numerous
members of the Fresno County branch of the Justices'
and Constables' Association of California.
This cooperation is a thing which we continually stress
among our own members as it concerns any officer inter-
ested in the profession of law enforcement. These, of
course, also include the special agents whose cooperation is
reflected by the cases made and the convictions resulting
from a mutual understanding of the many problems in
law enforcement.
Before cases are cited in which active cooperation of
all branches of law enforcement resulted in apprehension,
a speedy trial and conviction, may I recite some of the
org ini;ational setup of the Fresno Police Department.
The department operates under the commission form of
government of which thrice elected Mayor Z. S. Leymel
is head of the Police, Fire, Park and Health Departments,
as well as the City Pound.
Whatever forward steps we have taken have been to-
ward bettering the understanding of law enforcement,
These ideas have been shared freely with other department
in promoting a better understanding.
What is now considered almost common procedure!
throughout the United States with reference to the takin]
of motion pictures of drunk drivers had its origin in thc'
Fresno Police Department back in 1938 and 1939. Photo.
graphs taken with a 16 mm, camera of a drunk driver at
the police station immediately following his arrest on a
charge of drunk driving resulted in a plea of "guilty, your
honor" in 99 of the first 1 00 cases.
No matter what law enforcement agency makes the
arrest, my office in cooperation with District Attorney
James M. Thucsen will record the reactions in motion
pictures of drunk drivers.
Many California cities have adopted the idea of marking
cars parked on the street with the use of a single police-
man riding a three-wheeled motorcycle. A single chalk
mark is left on the left rear tire and in this way one man
is able to cover more than twice the area as was possible
on foot patrol. Plans are under way now for the trial
installation of meters on certain Fresno business streets.
Following my confirmation as police chief in February
of 1939, we now have a special Service Bureau within the
department but in a separate section of the building. The
aim of the bureau has consistently been "to keep juvenile
stragglers away from the stigma of a jail or court record."
The Special Service Bureau handles boys and girls with the
active cooperation of both parents and friends where it
is felt that a temporary misstep might be relatively easily
amended. This bureau has the active support in Fresno
of the Parent-Teacher Associations and church and frater-
nal groups.
Probably thc largest single factor in bringing closer con
tact between members of the department, better and more
timely law enforcement was thc introduction to the de
partmcnts hack in 1937 and 1938 of two-way radio equip
.ment, under the supervision of Radio Engineer Robert M.
Schulcr, who joined the force in 1932. Additional units
have been added until now the police department has 32
units operating; thc sheriff's office has 26 two-way units;
the State Division of Forestry and the California High.'
way Patrol have a dozen two-way units.
To cover Fresno County's T.9';0 square miles in a man-
ner such thit a two-way unit may either send or receive
fr:iTi any selected location, two repeater stations have been
installed, one at Black Mountain in Eastern Fresno County.
;ind the other station near Coalinga. The county units
operate on frequency modulation in conjunction with
December, J 946
POLICE AND PEACE OFFICERS' JOURNAL
Page 13
Fresno Police Station KGZA on a frequency of 35.22
megacycles by authority of the Federal Communications
Commission. The City of Fresno radio equipment operates
on amplitude modulation and the police frequency for
mobile units is 37.22 megacycles.
As a further example of the cooperation between de-
partments in Fresno city and county, we have installed
two-way equipment in the mobile units of the Military
Police organization, which is housed in the basement of
the Fresno Police Station itself.
The active cooperation between departments must con-
tinue if we are to serve the ever increasing population of
Fresno city proper, numbering about 70,000 persons, of
the metropolitan area of 11 0,000 persons and the entire
county itself numbering approximately 225,000. May I
again repeat, on behalf of Sheriff Overholt and all others
interested in active law enforcement, the word "must"
is essential if we are to continue to have normal democratic
activities functioning properly.
The comparatively recent murder cases of Paul Skaug
at Reno, Nevada, and the King- Ward-Anderson in Fresno
are but two examples of the splendid cooperation between
the constables, the policeman on the beat, the California
Highway patrolmen and deputies of the sheriff, in appre-
hending vicious criminals for the protection of society.

Telephone Numbers Lead to Arrest of Couple
When Constable Harry Johansen of Tahoe City, called
on Inspector James Johnson head of the Burglary Detail
of the San Francisco Police Department, to tell about a
series of burglaries that had been committed on homes
of people living in a wide area of this country, and who
use these homes for vacation trips, he said he didn't have
much to work on, but did have a set of three telephone
numbers of San Francisco, left on one of the Tahoe City
burglarized houses.
Inspector James Johnson
That was all that Inspector Johnson needed. He assigned
Inspectors John Brady and Ray hunt on the case. These
two experienced investigators took a gander at the tele-
phone numbers. They noted that one number was a local
Post Street auto rental agency. This, they said, was the
most important one to visit first, and it was the most im-
portant.
Here they found that on October 21 the agency rented
a car to George Greathouse and his wife. The car rental
slip showed it travelled 497 miles before being returned,
which allowed plenty of mileage for a trip to Tahoe City
and return. Next they got the address of Mr. and Mrs.
Greathouse, It was a hotel on Minna street operated
by the couple.
And were they surprised with what they found. Over
$10,000 worth of househ-jld equipment ranking from a
frigidaire, vacuum cleaners to clothing, bed spreads, fur
coats and many other articles. Many of these tallied with
Constable Johansen's list of property taken from homes
in his town.
The word was sent out and for days men and women
who have summer homes around Tahoe, flocked to the
Burglary Detail to look over the loot. Many found things
they had left when they finished their last summer's vaca-
tion. But there was a lot that could not be identified by
local residents and so Inspector Johnson and his men.
aided by Constable Johansen, crated the remainder and
shipped it to Auburn where it will be held. It may not
be until next summer that it will be claimed for some
of the owners live a long wav from Tahoe City.
Inspector Ray Hunt
Mr. and Mrs. Greathouse were booked en route to
Tahoe City.
Inspector John Brady
Constable Johansen stated while here that some $30,00
worth of household goods and clothings have been takej
in and around Tahoe City since last summer.

Chief Farina Given Gold Star
December, 1946
People of Emeryville, Berkeley, Oakland and other
Eastbay communities think a lot of Emeryville's new Chief
of Police, Frank Farina.
They showed it in a very impressive manner last month,
when nearly 500 men, from all walks of life, gathered at
Angelo's Tavern at San Pablo Avenue and Forty-third
Street and threw a dinner that was out of this world; fur-
nished some top class entertainment and was climaxed
when Mayor A. J. Lacoste took the floor and in a well
delivered speech extolled the virtues of Emeryville's present
effectively on all of the faw major crimes that have dis-
turbed the peace of Emeryville during the past 12 years
and more.
He said Chief Farina was an efficient, honest and fear-
less police officer. When h; finished his address the Mayor
called the Chief before him and presented him a gold
star. Few Chiefs of Police have ever been presented with
such a valuable star. It is a six pointed heavy solid gold
star, each point decorated with a diamond of nearly half
a karat, and in the center a miniature star, studded with
EMERYVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT
Front row, left to right, — Officer James Donovan, William Ragallie, Clarence Rodoni, Chief Frank Farina, Frank Cebollero, Ernest
Steeves, Arthur Sargent. Back row — Officers John Doyle, Edward Wilson, Walter Cooper. S. Ashbrook, Henry Miguel and James
Wayne.
Police Chief. He traced the career of Frank Farina from
the time he first joined the Police Department back in
1934, through the war years and to last June when he
was appointed Chief of Police following the retirement of
Chief Arthur G. Bock, who served for a few months
after veteran Louis Mann laid aside the duties of Police
Chief after years of honorable service. He recounted how
Frank Farina applied all his time, energy and intelligence
to the work he had taken up and made his life's objective.
He told how he served as assistant Chief of Police under
Chief Mann and Chief Bock, and how he had worked
diamonds, the center one nearly a carat. One the face
of the star was
"Chief of Police, of Emeryville."
On the reverse side
"Presented by his friends."
Chief Farina was so choked up by the Mayor's speech
and the presentation of the gold insigne of his office that
he could scarcely respond, but he let the big group of
men present know that he appreciated the occasion as the
most important in his life.

BAY COUNTIES'
Peace Officers' Association
MEETINGS EVERY MONTH
Sheriff Howard P. Gleason, President
Captain Bernard McDonald^ Secretary-Treasurer
Meeting of the Bay Counties Peace Officers' Association
was held at Guidotti's Restaurant, Sixth and Adams street,
Santa Rosa, California , on Thursday, November 21.
Sheriff H. P. Gleason of Alameda County, the Presi-
dent, called the meeting to order. He then called upon
Chief of Police Melvin Flohr of Santa Rosa, California,
the host. Chief Flohr then introduced the members of
his official family who were present as well as distin-
guished guests from Santa Rosa and Sonoma County.
State Senator Herbert W. Slater, who never misses a
Bay Counties Peace Officers' meeting when they are held
in that vicinity, was introduced and gave a short talk.
Sheriff Gleason then introduced the distinguished visi-
tors and guests who were present, and among these were
Sheriff Jesse Elliott of Orange County, California, and
two visitors from the Seattle, Washington, Police Depart-
ment, Assistant Chief P. D. Batson and Superintendent
of Police Records L. D. Johnson.
As this was the end of the year, a nominating com-
mittee was appointed by Sheriff Gleason and was asked
to report back at the next meeting with the names of the
officers to be nominated for the ensuing term.
There was no unfinished or new business brought up
at this meeting.
The following applications were received, voted upon
and accepted as members of the Association :
Terrence J. Carey, Special Agent, Treasury Dept., San
Francisco; Robert M. Miller, Chief Guard, Benicia, Calif.;
Earl Sisson, Credit Counselor, San Francisco; Harold
Gillett, Investigation Bureau, State of California; George
Forth, Chief of Police, Hayward.
Chief Robert Tracy then invited the Association to
hold their next meeting in Oakland and his invitation
was unanimously accepted by the Association. Notifica-
tion will'be sent to the membership of the time and place
of this next meeting.
The speaker of the day, Superior Judge Hilliard Corn-
stock of Sonoma County, and president of the National
Rifle Association was then introduced and he spoke on
the registration of firearms and' the safe usage of same.
The Judge stated that he liked to be thrown in contact
with those whose business he knew something about and
he felt that law enforcement officers represented a most
self-sacrificing group in the service they render to them.
He stated that he felt he had something in common with
law enforcement officers, because judges, like Police Of-
ficers and Sheriffs are constantly exposed to tKe dangers
of cranks threatening them.
On the registration of firearms, he stated that the Na-
tional Rifle Association's aim was to' improve legislation
and make wise regulations concerning firearms. He stated
that the Association was disappointed to learn that their
program has been so misunderstood. He told of how
Attorney General Robert Kenny was misquoted about
the registration of firearms. The National Rifle Associa-
tion is against the disarming of law abiding citizens as
it is practically impossible to disarm the crook. If legisla-
tion is passed making it hard for the law abiding citizens
to have firearms, they would be the only ones to suffer,
as the crook would care nothing about the law and would
get his weapons illegally and you would leave the honest
citizen without any protection for his own home.
He spoke on the uncontrolled and uninstructed use of
firearms by minors, citing the case of a boy of 13 who
was allowed to have pistols, without receiving a single
instruction as to how to use them.
He was glad to see that Peace Officers are taking a
forward step in instructing officers in the use of the
weapons they carry. He told of the very fine range that
they have in Santa Rosa, which, although it did not com-
pare with the fine San Francisco Pistol Range, was one
of the best in that territory.
Judge Comstock then thanked the members for allow-
ing him to speak before them and he was in turn thanked
by Sheriff Gleason for his fine talk.
The meeting then adjourned to meet again in Oakland
at a date to be set.

Traffic Violators Get The Works in Sacramento
People who like to whizz through town ignoring all
the driving laws are paying a lot more attention to Sacra-
ment's traffic officers than they used to.
There are plenty of reasons, the chief one being Patrick
J. Bennett, who took charge of the Police Department's
Traffic Bureau last June.
Captain Patrick Bennett
Bennett started a drive against speeders, reckless drivers
and drunken drivers that is paying hig dividends in lives
saved and accidents prevented. While the death rate in
other parts of the state — and other states for that matter —
has gone soaring, Sacramento is holding her own. There
arc two fewer deaths from traffic crashes than there were
Tor the same period last year.
This is despite a substantial increase in car registrations
.'.nd an estimated 50 per cent increase in traffic.
Here are some of the things that have happened to
change the traffic picture in Sacramento since Bennett
t x)k over the bureau:
The enforcement index stands at 14.4 per cent — an in-
crease of 400 per cent over last year's figure of 3.6.
Eight new officers and another Sergeant have been added
to the bureau's staff.
A campaign of years' standing to get more money for
the motorcycle officers who risk their necks in the line
f^f duty every working day of the year has reached a
.■■•"cccssful conclusion. The city now grants them 5 per
cent more pav than the regular scales call for.
A school has been started at which old timers at han-
dling traffic problems are helping the newcomers to learn
their way around. Quite a few of the old hands are brush-
iniT up by taking the courses, too.
Fourteen new motorcycles have been delivered, and
the boys who have to run down the speeders are feeling
a lot safer.
Orders have been placed for new cars and radio equip-
ment for the Bureau.
And last, but by no means least, the motoring public —
at least that part of it that doesn't know the meaning of
the traffic laws — is beginning to realize the jig is up.
Bennett emphasizes one point about the current traffic
drive — it is permanent.
"Our campaign against traffic law violators is not justf
one of those drives that slacks off after a month or so,"
he said. "It is here to stay. We have arrested four times
as many drivers for moving violations as we did last year.
And the number of arrests is going to keep climbing until
people realize they can't get away with reckless and
drunken driving and speeding.
"The traffic situation in Sacramento, as in most other
towns which have grown fast in recent years, is far from
good. And this congestion just makes it that much worse
when some screwball decides he can go barreling through
town making a race track out of the streets.
"Another thing, the time is ripe for traffic law en-
forcement. The people are behind us. They have come
to realize that safe driving isn't something that doesn't
concern them that policemen like to talk about."
Bennett and his men are aiming at one particular goal
and it looks as though they will accomplish it. Road
travel in Sacramento is now heavier than it ever was
before, and the previous peak year was 194L They want
to keep the accident and death rate lower than it was
in 1941.
It looks from here as though their mark will be reached
handily, but they aren't making any predictions. The
story will be told when the year has ended. They are
concentrating on enforcement and hoping. The job they
are doing is indicated by the fact that for the first nine
months this year 30,681 persons were cited or arrested
for traffic violations — nearly double the total for the
same period during 1945.
Bennett is not too optimistic for the immediate future
but hopes that in years to come Sacramento will be an
ideal city from a traffic policeman's eye view. These arc ,
some of the things he is working to achieve in the future :
Some system of off the street parking for the down' I
town section. (An underground garage proposal is being]
studied.)
Enough money to eliminate traffic bottlenecks in the j
city and on the roads leading into town.
The establishment of truck routes sufficient to carry a |
heavy load which is increasing all the time.
Widening of several of the more heavily travelled ]
streets.
A permanent campaign through every available means J
to teach and keep elderly and infirm persons from risking
their lives unnecessarily while crossing streets. Many i
traffic deaths in Sacramento in recent years could not
have been avoided by motorists because pedestrians up in ]
years simply walked into the paths of their cars.

ORDINANCE 1869 DOWNS
THE PANDERERS
Ordinance 1869 of the Municipal Ordinances of the
City and County of San Francisco was passed on Noveiri'
ber 25, 1942. This ordinance was a vitally necessary law
at that time due to the mounting spread of venereal disease
in San Francisco, said increase being particularly noticeable
in the personnel of our armed forces.
Our local and statutory laws did not provide a punish'
ment for a new class of law-breakers long known in
southern cities as "Paddy Hustlers." The population of
San Francisco and the bay cities had increased immensely
due to the war construction industries which sprang up
here as a result of World War II. The crime of so-called
"Paddy Hustling" became a mighty problem for the Army
and Navy Executives as well as the San Francisco Police
Department.
A definite law was a crying need to punish this new
army of human leeches and Ordinance 1869 is so com-
prehensive that it is an honor to our local law-makers.
The "Procurer", or Panderer", or "Paddy Hustler", under
Ordinance 1869 definitely faces a jail sentence and a
$500 fine; and the ordinance minutely sets forth all the
many wiles of these "panderers", that bring them under
its provisions, whether they drive taxis, work on the side-
walk, tend bar, or are employed in restaurants or hotels.
A bellboy found guilty under the ordinance and spe-
cifically accused of an offer to "procure prostitutes" ap-
pealed the decision of guilty brought in against him after
a consideration of fifteen minutes by a jury of twelve
women. He lost his appeal.
In as much as these violators actually lure their victims
into hotels, apartment houses, etc., before taking money
from the victim, a charge of burglary may be properly
made. They may also be successfully charged with petty
theft or vagrancy.
At the present time, the so-called "Paddy Hustlers"
carefully watch their step, being well aware of a sure
guilty verdict in case of arrest. It is safe to say that the
passage of Ordinance 1869 is the primary cause in the
drop of venereal cases in San Francisco during the
war years.
The hustlers sometimes are thoroughly punished by their
victims when the victim suddenly realizes he is being
played for a sucker; that the hustler has got his moneys
and has no vivacious lady to present. But, just as fre-
quently, the complaining client is on the receiving end.
Although vagrancy, burglary, or theft may be charged
against the "Paddy Hustler", the members of the Bureau
of Inspectors prefer to place a charge of violating the
provisions of Ordinance 1869.
The "Paddy Hustler" is anathema to judges and juries
who both feel that six months in the County Jail and a
$500 fine is light punishment for such parasites.
"STAY OUT OF TOWN" COURT
RULINGS ILLEGAL
On October 29, 1946, the Third District Court of
Appeals, in a precedent-setting decision, ruled today that
"floaters", or suspended sentences in which the convicted
person is ordered out of a city or county for a certain
period of time, are illegal.
The decision, written by Justice Rolfe L. Thompson,
and concurred in by Presiding Justice Annette A. Adams
and Justice Paul J. Peek, ordered the release on a writ of
habeas corpus of Troy E. Scarborough of Stockton, held
in the San Joaquin County Jail.
Scarborough had served three months of a sentence for
driving while drunk, then was ordered by the Municipal
Court to stay out of Stockton for two years.
After four months of liberty he was rearrested on a
charge of violating the conditions of the parole by re-
maining in Stockton.
The Appellate Court held that in so arresting Scar-
borough Stockton authorities had illegally revoked his
parole.
"The suspension of sentence was equivalent to an order
granting probation," the decision held.
"The condition contained in the judgment that it would
be suspended in part if the defendant left Stockton and
San Joaquin County and remained away-fpr two years is,
in effect, an unlawful increase of punishment by banish-
ment not provided by .statute, therefore void."
For years Municipal Judges have been giving "floaters"
to vagrants and others charged with minor offenses.

Portland, Oregon Police Chief Visits S. F.
Chief of Police L. V. Jenkins of Portland, Oregon, was
a guest of Chief Charles W. Dullea in San Francisco
during' the last week of November. Chief Jenkins, who
was reappointed head of Portland's Police Department
last July 1, following the fatal illness of Chief Henry
Niles, who passed away last month.
Chief L. V. Jenkins
Chief Jenkins was called back to the job he held from
1919 to 1933, resigning at that time to take over the
job of Police Commissioner, which he held for 18 months
when the job was abolished. Returning to the Police
Department he served in the Detective Bureau until he
was elevated again to the chief ship. This is a fine manner
to finish out a career of law enforcement, which Chief
Jenkins started when he joined the Portland Police De-
partment October 5, 1908. He served so well that he
won promotions as follows:
Sergeant, 1912, Lieutenant, December, 1916, Captain,
May, 1917, and Assistant Chief, June, 1919.
Portland's Chief is recognized throughout the nation as
an outstanding peace officer, and he has had high honors
conferred on him by numerous organizations of peace
officers, notable among them being the presidency of the
International Association of Chiefs of Police and presiding
officer of the Pacific Coast International Association of
Law Enforcement Officials.
Chief Niles death brought to a close the life of a man
who for 36 years served the people of Portland so well,
and who was highly regarded for his extraordinary ability,
not only by the people of Portland but of the Pacific
Coast and law enforcement officers throughout the nation.
He had served 12 years in the high office he filled so
creditably, and was an active member of the Pacific Inter-
national Association as well as serving on many important
committees of the lACP.
So high was he in the esteem of the people of Portland
that his funeral was one of the finest and the largest
attended ever held in the Rose City. It being necessary
to hold the services in the state armory, so great was the
outpouring of citizens to pay their last respects.
Portland residents feel they are fortunate to be able to
call back a former Chief of Police to take the place made
vacant by Chief Niles death. Chief Niles and Chief
Jenkins were very close friends.

Petaluma and Its Police Chief
December, 1946
Petaluma, the second largest city in Sonoma county,
and an hour or so ride from San Francisco, is one of the
bay area communities that had no war materials factories
or plants erected in its confines, and it escaped being
a center for mobilization of various fighting units of the
war department. True it became a haven for many
workers engaged in such activities referred to above, and
its population has been greatly expanded because of the
influx of people who sought a place to live while engaged
Chief Robert Peters
in war work. Many of these have been so impressed by
the scenic, the recreational, the climatical and farming
attractions that they have decided to make their per'
manent homes in Petaluma.
As the world knows Petaluma is noted for its poultry
production, the egg output exceeding any other section
of this nation and this with dairying gives the little city
a prosperity that is reflected by its busy crowds, its well
supplied stores and its fine schools and churches.
Through Petaluma pours countless thousands of auto-
mobiles along highway 101, who must converge on the
main street of the town to reach resorts, fine fishing and
hunting of the Russian River, the Redwood Highway into
northern California and to the various roads to nearby
towns.
Yet with an increased population, with the residents,
the merchants, the poultry men, the dairy industry all
enjoying prosperity there is no crime worth mentioning
in Petaluma's five mile square area which houses over
10,000 people.
This can be explained bv the splendid police protection
given the residents of Petaluma. This city is one of the
few who elects their Chief of Police in this section of the
state. Aand the Chief of Police for the past 16 years is
Robert Peters.
When the late Marcus (Mike) Flohr, was elected
sheriff of Sonoma county in 1930 he had been Chief of
Police of Petaluma for years, and a mighty good one.
With his election to the higher county office there nat-
urally was a vacancy in the office of Chief of Police and,
the City Council looking around for a worthy successor
hit on Patrolman Robert Peters. For four years he hat
been a member of Chief Flohr's Police Department. He
had served well and as the Petaluma Argus, a pioneer
newspaper of Petaluma, said, he was "efficient, dependable,
unassuming, and everybody's friend." He was appointed
Chief for the remainder of Chief Flohr 's term, which
ended June 1, 1931, when a city election was held.
At this election Chief Peters contested with five othe
aspirants for the job, and he won out with over 400 vote
more than the combined votes of the five candidates. H<
has been elected ever since at each four-year election,
but with the exception that since the first one he has nevei
had an opponent. He was voted in for his fourth time
last year and will serve until 1949.
Chief Peters was born in Hayward, but when nine yean
of age his parents moved to Petaluma where he has lived
ever since. He married a San Francisco girl and the
couple have one married daughter, Mrs. Alice Bone
Lafayette.
He worked for a number of years for the George Mc
Near company in Petaluma and 20 years ago joined the
Police Department. When he became Chief of Police
the Department had six men, it now has 13, including
the Chief.
The members are:
Captain Delbert Cole, Officers Arthur Sonkfen, Inei
Matson, these latter two are office duty men, Donalc
Noriel, Melvin Del Maestro, Ernest Dunlap, Albert Bige-
low, Nathan Jones, Rudy Shinkel, Edward Bilmore, Her
bert Vail, Harold Vallir.
The Department has two patrol cars equipped with
2 -way radio and two motorcycles with one-way radio
Lawrence Showalter is the radio technician for the De-
partment.
Chief Peters says since he has been in the Department
there has not been a murder in Petaluma, no robbery of
a high nature and burglaries have all been few* and but
small losses reported. He says that the war years have
brought an increase in juvenile delinquency which he
attributes to many new comers who had not given their
children the proper attention in living a good and lawfu
life. These parents were so engrossed with making money
in their war efforts that they neglected their children,
and today these children are a tough problem for the
peace officers of the country. However, he says they have
reduced this form of lawlessness and believes it will be
under complete control, because all good people are joining
in with the Police Department to bring about a reduction

Rio Vista Crime Free
Rio Vista that important point on the lower reaches of
the Sacramento river is noted for its fine striped bass
fishing, and a fair amount of pheasant hunting, but it is
more noted for its farm products. Here nearby is raised
a lot of asparagus, and other vegetables that are shipped
to all points on this continent.
Some 2500 people live in Rio Vista which runs to the
river's edge.
If a robbery, a burglary or any other so-called major
crime took place in Rio Vista it would indeed be news.
These things don't happen in this little city.
So law abiding are the people that the town has a
police force of but two men, though there will be a third
man added the coming year.
Floyd N. Holmes is the Chief of Police, and the other
member of the Department is Manuel (Pat) Cardoza.
Chief Holmes was born and reared in Rio Vista. He
married a Rio Vista girl, and the couple have four children,
Joyce, married; Jeannette, Floyd H. and Frederick W.
He has run the Police Department for 12 years and if
one thinks a man running a small police force doesn't
keep abreast of the time one is badly mistaken in the case
of Chief Holmes.
He has taken the FBI course given in Vallejo and has
studied all means and methods of crime prevention and
apprehension of criminals.
Too, he knows what two-way radio means to any policel
department, and, with the completion of the county radio!
hook-up, he will have a two way radio in his patrol cars,!
serviced by the Sheriff's office of Solano county.

Chief Beam of Isleton
December, 1946
Isleton the prolific agricultural little city on the Sacra-
mento River has a population of over 3000 people. It
draws a large number of additional transient workers,
used in harvesting crops.
However, with various nationalities united in this im-
portant work, there isn't much crime in Isleton.
Isleton's Chief of Police is C. R. Beam, and he is no
inexperienced police official. Back in 1930 he started law
Chief C. R. Beam
enforcement work as a Federal probation officer, going in
as the first civil service appointment in this area.
When Chief Fish was killed in North Sacramento he
was appointed to head the Police Department of that
city, and served well until he resigned some six years ago.
He went to work as an investigator for District Attorney
Bahcock of Sacramento and his most important work
was screening Japanese for removal to relocation centers.
Having located in Isleton, when there was a vacancy in

the chiefship the city council thought it would be a good
idea to have a man with the experience of C. R. Beam
take over the job. So on July 1, 1942, he was duly ap-
pointed to the office of Chief or Police.
He has two men to help handle police affairs of Isleton,
and with this small force peace is preserved in a splendid
manner. The two men are Officer Charles Schillings, who
has been on the force since 1934 and Officer Walter
Froelich, recently out of Army service.
Chief Beam and his wife, Beulah, have two children.
Logan, who was in the air force for five years, and is now
back with his family in Isleton and a married daughter,
Lorae, also residing in Isleton.
Isleton is off the main highways of this section of the
state, but a lot of people pass through the modern town
and its picturesquesness is apparent to every one who
visits this rich farming community.

Walnut Creek Has New Police Chief
The war caused Walnut Creek's population to double
that of the U. S. census of 1940. This thriving little
Contra Costa city is noted for its vegetables, fruits, nuts,
dairying and livestock.
It is situated in a beautiful setting, and it enjoys the
finest of climate. Many people from Oakland, San Fran-
Chief John B. Jordan
Cisco and other bay cities have orchards and other farms
there and many of them live in this desirable spot and
commute to their work along the bay.
Walnut Creek has a new Chief of Police. He is John
B. Jordan, who, with his wife and daughter, Dorothy,
now 12 years of age, .settled in Walnut Creek ten
years ago.
Deciding he had found the place he wanted to make
his permanent residence, Jordan joined the Police De-
partment eight years ago. Most of this time he was on
night duty and had charge of the Department during
the late watches.
Determined that law enforcement was his life's work
he made every effort to master all the details of this strict

calling, that study and close attention to duty would
permit. He took a 17 weeks course at the Police School
held by the Berkeley Police Department, and he showed
such constructive interest in his work, that when Chief
L. E. Buck, after 20 years as Chief of Police of Walnut
Creek, decided to lay aside the duties of his office, Officer
Jordan was appointed to take his place.
He has done everything possible to put his small force
of officers on a modern basis, and he has two 2-way radio
equipped cars, and he has given Walnut Creek fine
police service.

Minutes of meeting on October 10, 1946.
The Northern California Police Communication Of-
ficers' Association held their regular monthly meeting in
San Mateo County at the H tf H Ranch in San Carlos
on October 10, 1946.
President Don Hossack and Vice President Ray Gada
were unable to attend this meeting, so Past President Jim
Lewis presided.
The minutes of the previous meeting were read, cor-
rected and approved. The correction was a transposition
of two repeater frequencies.
On recommendation of the Engineering and Frequency
Committee, the menbers present, granted by vote, the
following clearances Sacramento Police, 154.77mcs; Sac-
ramento Sheriff's ( Tice, two repeater frequencies, (1)
Ited in the vicinity of Walnut Grove,
to be operated in the vicinity of
Police, 250 watt Main Station and
nine mobile units on 154.89mcs; Oroville Police, one
mobile unit on 39.38mcs. to tie in with their present sys-
tem; Modoc County, 39.38mcs. for six mobile units, one
of these to be operated by an Alturas Police car. These
units will communicate normally with KHNW, Alturas,
which will be operated by the California Highway Patrol.
Lassen County Sheriff's Office, to change from 50 watts
power on 39.ymcs. to 500 watts power 1722kcs. On
motion by McMurphy, seconded by John Maybee, this
change was granted.
Brower McMurphy, Alameda County Sheriff's Office,
discussed the new frequency allocation plan of the F. C. C.
regarding Class Two Experimental Stations which aflFect
our repeaters. The following frequencies were granted
on a temprorary basis by the F. C. C: 73.22 — 73.30 —
73.78— 74,06— 74.58mcs. The F. C. C. desires all future
assignments for our Repeaters be made on these fre-
quencies.
Bill Koch of State Forestry told of his problems re-
garding Frequency allocations. It seems that the fre-
quencies assigned to the State Forestry are not in con-
formance with the plans or policy of this Association.
Three members of this Association will attend the
F. C. C. meeting on October 16, 1946. Art. Sowle,
Nevada; A. J. Silva, C. H. P., and Bill Koch, State
Forestry. All three will go on to Buffalo, New York, for
the APCO Convention.
A letter from Zellen Audritsch indicates that certain
large corporations dealing ir Communications are opposed
to our present Frequency Allocation Plan, hence the
F. C. C. Hearing.
McMurphy suggested the N. C. P. C. O. A. go on
record as supporting our present Allocation Plan. A
motion by John Maybee and seconded by LeBeouf, that
the N. C. P. C. O. A. go on record to maintain the pro-
posed Block System on the 30 to 40 and the 42 to 44mc.
band, also the 72 to 76 and the 152 to 162mc. band be
maintained under the existing block system plan. This
motion was voted unanimously by the members present.
This Association having three very capable men going
East to the F. C. C. meeting, and the APCO Convention,
it was suggested they be delegated authority to act for
the N. C. P. C. O. A. On motion by John Maybee, and
seconded by Brower McMurphy, and unanimously voted
by the members present, this Association delegated author-
ity to Art. Sowle, A. J. Silva, and Wm. Koch to represent
the N. C. P. C. O. A. at both the F. C. C. meeting and
the APCO Convention. These men are to act singly or as
a group to make decisions on policies affecting this
Association and to further our present policy of oper-
ations.

the members voted deannce on 73.78mc8. for a repeater
to be installed at either of the above locatiofu.
Chas. Simpson (Monterey), requested clearance on
1674kc«. for the City of Carmel, also a frequency in the
150mc. band. This request ia in conformance with the
desires of all Police Agencies in that area to have a co'
ordinated system. The request was tabled pending receipt
of a formal application and letters from the Police Agencies
opemting on 1674kc8., stating their desire to have this
CD'ordinated system.
Don Hossack stated they hoped to have the repeater on
Mt. Hamilton converted to 74.5mcs. and the three re-
peaters rm Mt. Diablo, Mt. Pierce, and Sacred Oak con-
verted to 74.14mc« by the eighteenth of December.
Brower McMurphy spoke on the F. C. C. Public Notice
No. 99168 pertaining to the proposed 30 to 40mc. alloca-
tions based on a 20kc channel width. The new allocations
give the Police Services seventy-one channels, 37.02 to
37.44mcs. and 29.02 to 39.98mcs. The Fire Department
allocations will be from 33.4 to 33.98 mcs.
Tony Silva reported on both the APCO O^mvention
and the meeting with the Eastern States Radio League.
From all indications it will be over a year before manu-
facturers will have equipment available operating on 20kc.
channel width. The Blfx;k System also was favored. It
was suggested that Television channels No. 1 to No. 9
be given to the Police, and that the F. C. C. reconsider
the obsolescence time limit for equipment affected by
F. C. C. Notice No. 99168.
The news of the election of a member of this Associa-
tion, Art. Soule, V) the office of First Vice President of
APCO was gratefully received. Congratulations, Art.
All members were well pleased with the choice of Los
Angeles for the 1947 APCO Qwivention.

POLICE AND PEACE OFFICERS' JOURNAL
December, 1946
Our San Francisco Police Women — Outstanding in Nation
(It is well recognized that our traffic police women
.ire doing a fine job and daily winning more and more
the respect of the people of San Francisco, and it gives
great pleasure to note that, in the June issue of that ex'
cellent magazine. Best. George Bryan gives them a hearty
boost which we are glad — with the permission of the pub-
lishers of Best magazine — to quote herewith. — Editor.)
This is about ladies who literally track 'em down — lady
cops. Contrary to popular belief, the eyes of the law are
not all manly eyes; they may stare beneath arched eye-
brows. San Francisco, for instance, has the only mechan-
ized group of women policemen in the country. That
stopped us.
San Francisco not only has cops who arc not men, but
they're mechanized. Eight motorized policewomen in
San Francisco bring in $80,000 a month in traffic fines
alone.
There are eight motorized policewomen in the city, the
only all-girl mechanized orchestra of whistle blowers in
the nation. This small group of feminine law enforcement
officers scooter over the downtown area and bring in
$80,000 a month in traffic fines alone.
In San Francisco there are three-wheel motorcycles with
blue and gold trimming of the San Francisco Police
Department and the young women who ride are busy
indeed. It seems the girls are tagging nearly 3,000 cars
a day and at the same time directing traffic, operating
recalcitrant stop-and-go signals, administering first aid, re-
turning lost children, and handling the other normal dis-
turbances that prevail in every large city.
As traffic problems go, San Francisco probably has the
worst. Its main area is much like that of New York —
rather narrow streets except for a few thoroughfares and
the curbs glowing with Indian paint which means "no
parking."
But whereas New Yorkers ride the subway, San Fran-
ciscans love to drive. Many of them live twenty to forty
miles away and speed in from the hills of Oakland and
Berkeley across the bay or down the peninsula from Palo
Alto and Redwood City. The parking lots fill up by
eight o'clock in the morning and everyone else pulls up
beside a sign which says: "No stopping day or night."
There's where the eighty thousand-a-month comes in.
The curb has become a city parking lot and many busi-
nessmen just collect the tags and send a check to the Traffic
Bureau at the end of the month. The women cops, as
they are never called to their face, were hired a couple
of years ago when the regular force got down to a war-
time low.
They joined the Department without civil service
ratings, but they did pass the regular police examinations.
A-s duration jobholders they may disappear in a year or so,
but unofficially it's believed most of them will be abstirbcd
into other branches of law enforcement.
From their salaries of $225 to $250 a month the girls
provide their own uniforms, the same blue and gold as the
men, with an overseas type cap.
Lipstick and powder puff are permitted among their
equipment, which also includes traffic book, indelible
pencil, police whistle, and key to the police box. Neither
weapons nor handcuffs are part of the policewoman's
usual gear and so, according to some of the old timers on
force, the gals do chiefly by fascination.
At the outset, the girls suffered from a little heckling,
but it quickly disappeared. To ridicule or insult an officer
in uniform is something the courts are quick to deal with.
The women police have an excellent record now and are
well-liked by the men of their Department, the judges
and even those whose cars they tag.
Their training from the Police Academy includes those
mysterious jiu-jitsu grips and holds which enable a minnow
to subdue a whale and which command respect when a
badge does not. And best, or worst, of all, they're not
susceptible to flattery. That's where the eighty-thousand-
a-month comes in.

OAKLAND'S POLICE SCHOOL
(Continued from page W)
Then there are hours given to discussing the municipal
ordinances, covering crime of various character, as well
as a background of state and federal laws, covering sub-
jects which local officers come in contact most.
Traffic problems is another subject covered by the
Oakland police school, under Captain Jackson. The
problem has grown over the years and today occupies
the central attention of American police departments.
Captain Jackson is mindful of this and so he calls in as
special speakers, during class hours, the officers of the
traffic division who give the "men-on-the-beat" the latest
advice on how to control automotive traffic. The traffic
division is headed by Captain Lester Divine, a graduate
of Northwestern School of Traffic Control as well as
that of the FBI police training school under J. Edgar
Hoover.
Then, too, there are 12 hours of aptitude tests and
course administration.
Criminal law, criminal investigation, finger printing,
personal identification, laboratory and evidence, photo-
graphs, all enter into the Oakland police school course.
Briefly, this is the curriculum that Captain Jesse Jackson,
"principal" of Oakland's police school has laid down:
Field assignments, 24 hours of the course; marksman-
ship, 16 hours; traffic, 20 hours; first aid, 20 hours; patrol
procedure, 9 hours; report writing, 5 hours; criminal law,
28 hours; criminal investigations, 10 hours; criminal
procedure, 10 hours; public relations, 5 hours; related
agencies, 12 hours.
Altogether the Oakland police department under Chief
Tracy, ex-cowboy and rider of the ranges of Wyoming
and Montana, ex-carpenter by trade, keeps on even keel,
ever broadening its grasp of crime and criminals.

CHIEF WALLACE OF FRESNO
('Continued from page 1 i)
Let's take the Paul Skaug, alias Paul Masterson, mur-
derer of Mrs. Beate Marie Voss at Reno, Nevada, chron-
ologically to show just how cooperation between law en-
forcement agencies pays dividends. On September 16,
1944, Skaug, a 23-year-old linoleum layer from Oshkosh,
Wisconsin, was surprised during the commission of a day-
light burglary of the Voss residence at Reno, Nevada, and
then fatally shot and beat her. A statewide manhunt
followed and Skaug fled over the border, taking with him
about a dozen items from the Voss residence. For a week
he evaded detection in Southern California cities and then
came to Fresno on September 26, 1944, registering at a
hotel under the name of Paul Masterson of Plymouth, Wis-
consin. In the meantime, teletype messages were sent from
Nevada over the California station hookup as well as an
All Points Bulleting listing property taken and a descrip-
tion of it. At 8:57 p. m. on September 27, Skaug robbed
Karl Tashjian, proprietor of the Rex Drug Store, on Broad-
way Avenue, Fresno, and shot him when a resistance to
the holdup was made. A tan colored, woven leather
blackjack was found on the floor of the prescription room
of the store immediately following the robbery.
The following day, under the name of Paul Skaug, he
pawned eight articles locally including a pen and pencil
set, a 25 caliber automatic, a new pair of shoes, a wrist
watch, a cigarette lighter, a Westclock alarm clock and
a blackjack.
The teletype messages listed an alias of Skaug as well
as things taken from the home in the burglar^'. Checking
by Sgt. S. G. Vind disclosed the hotel registration as Paul
Masterson and the signatures in paum shops of Paul
Skaug to be the handwriting of the same person. This,
coupled with the items pawned, linked the shooring of

Meantime, bullets recovered were checked at the Fresno
County sheriff's office by Supt. J. Ed. Martin and pictures
made of the pawned property for definite identification
by relatives of the Voss Family at Reno.
Additional teletypes followed for Skaug, who was ap-
prehended by a member of the California Highway
Patrol office at Mar>'sville three days after the Fresno
shooting. Skaug was turned over to the Mar>'sville Police
Department and taken to Reno, Nevada, on October 2,
1944. He was tried in December of 1944 with Sgt. Vind
from Fresno testifying for the prosecution. The verdict:
death by gas. Skaug is awaiting execution in the state
penetentiary at Carson, Nevada, following an appeal by
his attorney.
One more murder case further exemplifies the coopera-
tion of law enforcement officials in Fresno County as well
as in the states of Utah and Arizona.
Chronologically and briefly the facts follow: On Sun-
day night, July 16, 1938, E. A. Ward, a Fresno mill-
wright, pulled up to a stop at the sign opposite the Wilson
theater in downtown Fresno. Out from the car jumped
two men, Neil F. Anderson, an ex-convict from Nevada,
and Wilbert Fay King, 26-year-old bartender. One opened
the door of the coupe and the other shot Ward three
times with a 7.65 mm. German make automatic firearm.
They shoved Ward into the center of the front and drove
on out to the residential district where they pulled him
out and rifled his pockets for $80 and shot him twice more.
They left in Ward's coupe and abandoned same in the

outlying residential district and fled on foot toward town,
being followed by Deputy Sheriff Al Collins by their
footprints.
The trail was lost near the home of Wilbert King, how-
ever, disappearance of the two from Fresno resulted in a
tip to police detectives who took up the manhunt out of
the state with the result that Neil Anderson was arrested
in Nevada on July 28, by deputies of that state.
Recovery of the gun used in the kiUing led to ballistic
comparisons and positive identification. Members of the
poHce department at Provo, Utah, arrested King under the
name of Bert Roberts, on August 10, 1938, on a charge
of vagrancy and he was identified as being the main
wanted here as Wilbert Fay King.
Both men were tried in Fresno County and convicted
and sentenced by Judge T. R. Thompson to be executed
at San Quentin. Anderson was executed in the gas
chamber on March 15, 1940. King's death sentence was
commuted to Hfe by former Governor Culbert Olson and
he was paroled two years ago and now is on parole at
Las Vegas, Nevada.
Cooperation right down the line, no matter what branch
of law enforcement is what our people are paying for and
certainly you and I must strive to keep high the faith they
have in our noble profession.

CAPTURE OF "PADDY HUSTLER"
(Continued from page 7)
Of course a quick check of all these places would take
considerable time but it was definitely necessary under
the circumstances. The check was made, however, by
Lieutenant Burke and Inspectors Lee and Heeg but the
results were nil.
Another surmise was that the killer would have the
clothes which he wore on the night of the fateful Novem-
ber first cleaned of the blood of his victim with whom he
struggled while inflicting thirteen stab wounds. An ex-
convict would not dream of being so careless, under the
circumstances, but Lieutenant Burke took the chance that
the killer might have placed his murder garments in a
clothes cleaning establishment. On this hunch, with In-
spector Martin Lee, he took in all such establishments
with 1170 McAllister street as a center.
One by one the cleaning establishments were checked.
The job was tedious and time was passing all too quickly.
But the check was one card that might turn the trick.
In one of the last places checked the lady in charge said
a coat had just been brought in for the cleaning of an
alleged wine stain.
Lieutenant Burke and Inspector Lee noticed the coat
had blood stains on the collar. They also noted the name
and address on the tag.
Without a moment's delay they were at that address.
The landlady was very nice and took them to the room
occupied by Clarence Jesse James who was out for
the day.

What's this? A pair of crutches! Did Mr. James use
crutches? Not now. Some months ago he injured his
leg. Now he docs not use thcyn but he walks with a hmp!
Things arc looking good for our tired investigators. It is
said that every cloud has a silver lining — and right now,
in that rooming house at 908 Buchanan street, everything
was suddenly beginning to look rosy for the Lieutenant
and his partner.
In order, they found: A pair of good shoes, palpably
scuffed; a blood-stained shirt; a blood-stained pair of pants
iiid a blood-stained towel.
But, best of all, they found a bail receipt covering bail
on a recent arrest for "paddy hustling"!
All these things were left in their usual places.
Clarence Jesse James was arrested when he returned.
"Jumping bail" was casually mentioned by the officers.
James was not in the least disturbed, and told the officers
they would find the bail receipt and the charge connected
therewith were OK. The officers, of course, agreed
with him.
He asked permission to dress up, and, while dressing,
a knife fell to the floor! Lieutenant Burke was most
alertly polite in promptly retrieving the knife — and then
slowly and deliberately examining it. That knife was so
fascinating to the Lieutenant he decided to keep it for
additional admiration — and examination.
People suffering from apparent injuries, when arrested,
are, according to police rules and regulations, first taken
to the emergency hospital for a check up. Now, Mr.
James had quite a limp — and, in the expressed opinion of

the officers, it needed to be looked into. They had in
mind the possible results of the ash tray used on Mr.
James' head by Mrs. Barr.
At the emergency hospital the doctor found the limp
to be a fairly old injury — hut evidenced quite an interest
in a haematoma of the left eye! "One of those things"
was his explanation. The inspectors liked that.
Once in the Hall of Justice Mr. James was quite per-
turbed over the fact that there was something wrong
with his bail on a recent charge. He was pained indeed
that a bail bond broker should have made a slip'up suffi'
cient to cause his arrest.
In the homicide offices in the Hall of Justice he was
questioned is a friendly way as a "bail jumper" — nothing
ponderous or in the least .serious being mentioned in the
casual handling of Mr. James to give him the least inkling
of the predicament in which he was on being taken from
909 Buchanan street.
The officers were nice and he remarked that they were
gentlemen compared with the officers he had run across
in the case of his previous arrests and interviews. No, to
his mind, they had not the vaguest idea that he had
stabbed a man to death only three days ago. But he
reckoned without his host.
Carefully, and with the utmost casualness. Lieutenant
Burke and his inspectors laid the interviewing ground-
work for James tie-up with the murder. Only from James
himself did they hope for evidence to charge James with

the murder. And, with all his experience as a professional
law breaker — and successful escapes from legal punish-
ment— he fell for their apparent neutral feeling in his
supposed "hail jumping" charge.
James is voluble, and, while piecemeal giving an account
of his movements for the past three days, which account
was apparently not being intently listened to by the in-
spectors, who seemed to be more interested in discussing
the value of fingerprints and lie detectors than in his
detailed storj' of his where.ibouts for the past seventy-two
hours, he felt he was very much in the clear in the matter
of being suspected of the Barr murder.
The inspectors would occasionally pause momentarily,
concerning his movements for the three days commencing
in their apparent discussion, to ask James some question
on Thursday, November 1st. They would also intimate
his answers were very important, and would, of necessity,
have to be screened by the use of the lie detector.
All this tedious detail of the pros and cons of statements
made by arrested persons who had something to hide had
a very marked effect on the prisoner. Gradually he became
more and more fidgety. He at length appeared so ill at
case that the Lieutenant decided to ask him about the
Barr murder. The officers definitely felt they were on
the verge of success, when, on asking him about the Barr
murder, he vehemently stated he had not even heard of
that murder. In a rapid sing-song manner he repeated
that statement.

Patient questioning as to whether he ever read the
papers or talked to anyone in the taverns, pool rooms and
restaurants he visited caused him to become very nervous
and ill at east. More and more was he apparently coming
to definitely realize that the officers knew more about his
actions of the previous Thursday night than they pre-
tended.
Suddenly he asked them why they had questioned him
on the murder of Barr. On being told the questioning was
merely routine he again stoutly maintained he had nothing
to do with that murder. But, seeing the investigators
seemed incredulous, he, out of a clear sky, admitted the
killing.
He identified the knife and the blood-stained clothing
as his, and as both being connected with the offense.
He also admitted he was a "paddy hustler" and that
he had entered the Barr hotel to "paddy hustle" two
white soldiers whom he had picked up on Fillmore street.
He stated he had left the soldiers on the third floor and
was on his way out when he was accosted by Mr. Barr
whom he stabbed to death to effect his escape.
After he had made a detailed statement and signed
same a formal charge of murder was placed against this
youthful negro.
The two white soldiers undoubtedly heard the commo-
tion and fled. To this date they have failed to identify
themselves as witnesses against this confessed killer who
has been a police problem here since he was fourteen.

of juvenile delinquency. And one might add that most of
the people who live in Petaluma are good people.
The Chief sa5'S that while traffic in the busy months
gets slowed down through Petaluma his men have han-
dled it so well the death rate from accidents is away
below the national average.
Petaluma knows the importance of keeping in office
good and tried officials, for besides Chief Peters the town
folks have voted into the office of Mayor, at every election
including and since 1936 the present Mayor, Jasper
Woodson.
He with the city councilmen can well be proud of the
Petaluma Police Department, which they have backed so
wel! through the years.

was declared. He landed in England as a first lieutenant
in November, 1942, and by July, 1944, he had earned
his "chickens" — he was a full colonel.
In fact, of the many thousands of men who entered the
service as first lieutenants from the national guard, Jim
was the eighteenth to become a full colonel. (His brother,
Bob, incidentally, was first.)
When Jim decided to sacrifice his brass for a police-
man's badge again, his superiors looked around for a job
to suit his talents. And they picked a tough one. Jim
was placed in charge of the taxicab detail, supervising
the activities of 70 taxi companies and 800 drivers. He
has done a splendid job, as any member of the Depart-
ment will testify, and bigger things are in store for him.
Joseph E. Rooney also presents a case in point. Joe
was a sergeant on the force and was a sergeant for more
than three years in the army. When he got back he was
one of the first members to be promoted.
He is now a captain — one of the youngest in the history
of the Department, incidentally — and is doing an im-
portant job of running one of the uniform platoons.
Walter Sked was just a traffic officer when he left
for navy service, and after bounding around the world
for a year or so, he went into traffic work again in
Australia.
There he helped apply his knowledge to the task of
making the roads safer for GI's in a land of strange

driving customs, and to protect the civilian populace as
well. The thousands upon thousands of vehicles operated
in Australia by the armed forces presented a problem
guaranteed to be a first rate headache, but Walt came
through with flying colors.
Walt also was due for an early promotion when he
swapped one blue uniform for another. He now is a
traffic sergeant, in charge of all outside men.
A brother officer of Walt's in the traffic bureau was
Ralph Haley. He, too, served in the navy. He returned
to his motorcycle when he was discharged, but not for
long. He now is head of the Department's statistical
bureau, and is doing an excellent job, too.
Sergeant Kenneth Johnson went into the navy and
got to be a Heutenant, senior grade. He saw service on
battle fronts throughout the Pacific theater right up until
VJ Day. When he returned his superiors looked around
for a good spot for him, and decided on a promotion.
He now is the day sergeant in the Detective Bureau,
leading a hard hitting crew of plainclothesmen who are
battling against the increasing crime trend.
Ray Kun2 is another ex-serviceman who came back to
a promotion. Ray was in the army, and used his e.xperi'
ence in the Detective Bureau in doing valuable under-
cover work for the government while in the service.
He came back to find a promotion to a sergeancy but
a few months away. He now is second in command of a

uniform platoon.
John Sumner had a like experience. A beat officer when
he enh'sted in the navy, John saw a good deal of service,
.ind returned to a promotion. He also is a platoon
sergeant now.
Captain George Lofquist also enlisted, then returned
to his old joh as the head of a uniformed platoon.
Oscar Kistle is another who came back to a promotion,
although not within the department. After Oscar ser\'ed
with the army in Africa and most parts of Europe he
returned to his post as head of the Department's bureau
of statistics. Then, a few months later, he realized the
ambition of a lifetime when he passed the bar examination
and was admitted to practice. He now is an assistant to
District Attorney John Quincy Brown.
Incidentally the only member of the local force who
has not returned, after donning Uncle Sam's uniform is
Traffic Officer John Palmer. He still is a captain in the
army, and his friends believe he may make the army
his career.

SACRAMENTO'S TRAFFIC BOSS
(Continued from page 18)
Bennett has been a policeman for ten years and has
spent about half that time in the traffic bureau. He also
has been a beat man, a detective, a uniform platoon captain
and head man in the juvenile bureau.
There are two other fellows the traffic policemen will
tell you about who have helped materially in keeping the
traffic situation in line in Sacramento. They are City
Manager Bartley W. Cavanaugh and Municipal Judge
James M. McDonnell.
Cavanaugh. who went into office last Summer, has
been traffic conscious for a good many years. He was
forever plugging for safer conditions on the streets during
the years he spent as the local housing administrator.
Hundreds of children live in the federal housing projects
and he learned at first hand how important it is to pre-
vent accidents.
Judge McDonnell not only can be counted on to go to
the limit for a traffic officer who is right — ^he took matters

into his own hands early in the traffic drive. At first he
increased the fines for speeding, reckless driving, ignoring
signals and drunken driving. Then he let is be known that
he was going to get rough with drunken drivers and
habitual violators. As matter stand now careless drivers
arc getting to know they are in for trouble at the first
sight of a traffic officer, and that when they get in front
of Judge McDonnell they get no more sympathy. A
drunken driver a year ago, for example, customarily was
fined $100, and that ended the matter.
During recent months Judge McDonnell hasn't fined
a drunk less than $250, and he always puts them under
a 90-day suspended sentence which is revoked on a second
conviction. Their licenses also are suspended. About half
the drunken drivers who go before him go to jail for
terms of 30 to 90 days.

Safe Cracker Roundup
December, 1946
Through the fine cooperation of the Postal Service, the
Sheriff's office of Alameda, Oakland and Hayward Police
Departments and 16 members of the San Francisco Police
Department, five men, suspected of causing a wave of safe
cracking around the Bay area, were jerked out of circula-
tion November 30.
One of the men, Warren Terwilliger. was apprehended
in Hayward, after a new dollar bill, which the postoffice
in Castro Valley lost, was traced to him. He had given
it to a service station attendant for a purchase, and be-
cause it was from a bundle of new currency the postoffice
had the serial number.
Police and Deputy Sheriffs took Terwilliger in custody
at his Hayward home, and there found an arsenal of suf-
ficient firearms to start a good sized South American
revolution. There were l'> shot guns, fifteen pistols, ten
rifles and parts for assembling many machine guns. There
were 3000 rounds of ammunition for these weapons.
Mr. Terwilliger, seeing he was in quite a jam, started
"singing" and as he spilled all he knew the officers took
down the names and addresses of four confederates which
he said would be found in a San Francisco apartment
house. That was all the boys wanted for the time being
from Mr. Terwilliger.
With Postal Inspectors Frank Spencer and Nestor Ken-
nedy, the Chief Criminal Deputy Sheriff and four deputies
from Alameda County, the officers moved over to San
Francisco where they picked up 16 men, 13 from the
Northern Police Station and three Inspectors, Dan Shelly,
Al Nelder and Eugene Atkinson.
This posse surrounded the building indicated by Ter-
williger and closed in.
They found Richard Urquhart, former student at San
Quentin and Folsom; Robert Ulrich, also a graduate from
those two state penal institutions, Dewey Thompson and
Frank Homan, who have no previous records.
All were asleep but one, who had a girl friend in his
room. He tried to hide in a closet. All were so taken
by surprise that they had nothing to do but meekly
submit to being handcuffed and whisked away to the
Sheriff's office of Alameda county.
While none of the latter four would talk, the officers
working on their plight are building up evidence which
they expect will tie them in on the $')6,000 robbery of the
Newark post office, the Western Pacific office in Pleas-
anton, a Newark drug store, Mt. Eden post office and a
Castro Valley drug store which also has a post office. Too,
it is expected, they will connect them with an abortive
burglary at Sharps Park on Thanksgiving night. Four
men, after a gun battle with the proprietor of a market
and a deputy sheriff, made a getaway without breaking
into the safe of the market which contained consider-
.iblc money.
All automobile left .it Sh.irps P.iik by the s;ifc cracking
gang is held by the police, and the fact that it has been
repainted and license plates changed will prove a very
important bit of evidence in the case being worked up
against the mob.
In the apartment of one of the men was found a new
wrinkle in prying out the combination of a safe. It i-
said it was invented by Alrich, and is a metal plate whicli
covers the combination and so fashioned that jack screw-
can be attached which when tightened will pull the work^
right out of the safe, and noisily, too.
The fact that there has not been any more safes broken
into since this quintet has landed in the clink, leads peaci
officers to believe they have the men who for several week<
got away with many such jobs.

American Continent Interpolice Cooperation
By Brig. Gen. R.\mon Jimenez Delgado
Chief of Police, Mexico City. Mexico at the Annual Convention of the I. A. C. P.
In the year 1901 this International Association of
Chiefs of Pohce was formed with the representation of
the different Pohce Forces of the United States and
Canada.
In 1944 I was invited to attend the Fifty-First Con-
ference which this Association held in the city of Cleve-
land, Ohio, on which occasion the Police Department of
Mexico City entered the Association as an active member,
and I was given the honor of presenting a report entitled
"International Police Relations", which gave origin to
my designation as a member of the Committee of Interna-
tional Relations under the Chairmanship of the Honorable
J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, Washington, D. C.
In 194^, I was again honored by being designated by
the President of the Republic of Mexico, General Manuel
Avila Camacho, to represent the Mexican Police at the
Fifty-Second Conference held in the city of Miami,
Florida, on which occasion I submitted for the considera-
tion of the Assembly, a report entitled "Interpolice Co-
operation in the Post-War Period" which received ap-
proval and obtained the designation of the City of Mexico
as the site of the next conference to be held in this
year of 1946.
It was deeply edifying to see the Police of new coun-
tries, such as Cuba and China, represented at the Fifty-
Second Conference, and the significant fact that new
representatives of the Police of Latin American countries
are now attending, demonstrates that this Association,
with the transpiring of time, is reaching greater height
and prestige, which leads us to sincerely hope that in
the near future the Police of all the countries forming the
American Continent will be represented in our Associa-
tion, and this will constitute the best means of tightening
our bonds of union in benefit of the societies whose safe-
guard is entrusted to us.
During the month of March of this year, at the invita-
tion of Mr. J. Edgar Hcxiver, I had the honor of attending
the graduation ceremonies of 97 students of the National
Police Academy of the Federal Bureau of Investigation
who terminated their courses satisfactorily in Wash-
ington, D. C.
On this occasion we had the opportunity of exchanging
opinions on the matters assigned to our Committee of
International Relations and especially on the Interpolice
cooperation that should exist on the American Continent,
and the following ideas, which I submit for the considera-
tion of this Fifty-Third Conference, are the product of
this exchange of opinion.
In spite of the geographical and sociological differences
that exist among the countries on the American Continent,
all the police forces have the same goal: to fight delin-
quency with the support of our constitutional systems to
guarantee public order and the execution of the law.
If due to the geographical, sociological, and economic
conditions in each one of our countries, we fight delin-
quency by means of different police measures, I believe
It necessary to have a unification of police systems adapt-
able to the means at hand, in order to combat with
greater efficiency the transgressors of the law; and for
this reason, I suggest that a Continental Police Technical
Institute, in which all the police forces of the American
Continent will be represented, be formed within the
Committee of International Relations of this Association.
In general terms, I submit to the consideration of this
assembly the functions that the proposed Continental
Police Technical Institute would have:

quency, the police systems of each country and make
suggestions for the unification of procedures adaptable
to each case, after the legislative reforms which might be
necessary are made.
2. To solve the technical and juridical aspects of the
questions that any police force may submit for its study.
3. To fight for the inter-exchange of police elements
from the different countries of the continent, as a means
of learning and of bettering their mutual relations.
4. To fight for an increase in the exchange of criminal
statistics, studies, and technical works on law enforcement.

Organization which should be formulated by the proper
committee.
Once the Continental Institute has executed the func-
tions to which we have made reference, it is believed that
in the near future it will find itself able to prepare a
Continental Police Treaty, which, with the previous ap-
proval of the different Police Organizations of this Asso-
ciation, may be submitted for the consideration of the
different governments of the American Continent, for
their discussion and approval, in this manner carrying out
the purposes of this Association and all the police forces.

honorable Association will have the deep satisfaction of
seeing its mission fulfilled.
Honorable Delegates:
Due t(i the importance of this International Convention,
which for the first time in the hfe of the International
Association of Chiefs of Police is being held in a Latin
American countr>', I take pleasure in advising you that
the President of the Republic of Mexico, General Manuel
Avila Camacho, and the Mayor of the City, Lie. Javier
Rojo Gomez, as well as the high officials of the Federation,
are extremely interested in the results that may be ob-
tained from this historical reunion, and I believe, with
good reason, that the agreements made here will receive
their frank approval and their decided support, because
they will be the product of serene judgment and of the
ability of the police forces belonging to our Association
represented here, which have as their responsibility the
delicate mission of safeguarding the interests of the
societies of the respective countries placed under their
care, as well as complying with the rights which are the
norm and guide for humanity.

B. S. (Sandy) Sanders^ Veteran Newspaperman,
Reenters Advertising Agency Field Under Firm
Name of Hendrickson - Sanders in Oakland
B. S. (S;indy) Sanders, veteran Bay Area newspaper-
man, whose articles appear from time to time in The
Police Journal has reentered the advertising agency field.
He has formed an association with Jack Hendrickson,
overseas veteran, who entered the army as a buck private
and came out a captain of artillery. Hendrickson is also
a former newspaper man and was recently with the James
Houlihan advertising agency.
Sandy Sanders brings to the organization more than
10 years experience in advertising agency work, having
been a member of the former Curtis-Sanders Advertising
Agency which handled even- type of advertising and
public relations promotion.
The new firm of Hendrickson-Sanders is specializing in
radio promotion. At present it is producing the sparkling
"College Avenue on Parade" over Station KSFO, street
broadcast program along the mile-long College Avenue
business area from Alcatraz Avenue to the junction of
College Avenue and Broadway, Oakland, every Thursday
between 3:30 and 4:00 p. m.
Both Hendrickson and Sanders were active in handling
the recent Oakland police and firemen's wage increase
campaign which the uniformed rank won by a large
majority at a special charter amendment election.
Sanders, during his spare time, is completing a semi-
autobiography covering 43 years in and out of news-
paper work. In it he is revealing the most interesting
characters he met in both the newspaper field and among
the writers, artists, politicians, public ofiicials, civic leaders,
poets. Joaquin Miller, Jack London, Herman Whitake,
George Stirling, Peter B. Kyne, Victor H. Metcalf,
Fremont Older and Xavier Martinez, are presented from
personal contacts, with these men of letters and national
politics.
The Hendrickson-Sanders advertising agency has estab
lished temporary ofBces at 6229 College Avenue, Oakland.

PENINSULA POLICE OFFICERS'
ASSOCIATION
The October meeting of flie Peninsula Police Officers'
Association, held at Ramor Oaks, after a turkey dinner
served with all the trimmings, was called to order for the
business meeting by Sergeant C. V. Stafford, vice presi-
dent, taking over because President Robert O'Brien was
attending the state convention of the California Peace
Officers' Association in San Diego.
Lieutenant Lawrence Furio, of Burlingame, chairman
of the annual ball committee, made his report of this
year's attraction held in September. The Association took
in $24,000, nearly $^000 more than the 194'> ball.
The matter of forming a permanent ball committee
and a public relations man was discussed. A committee,
made up of Edward Maillard of San Carlos, Emmett
Pece of Burlingame, Sergcint Douglas of Redwood City
and Sergeant Price of San Mateo was appointed to study
the matter and make a report to the association.
Lieutenant Furio was highly commended for his work
on the annual dance committee.

SAFETY CHECK OF AUTOS GIVEN
Rear lights, front lights and brakes, in that order, ac-
counted for the largest share* of reported failures. Except
in a few instances of reported shortages of automo-
tive parts, these failures are the direct result of driver
negligence.
A total of 412,728 defects were found. Totals for each
defect, and percentages (based on totals of defects listed
by type) are as follows:
Defective rear and stop lights 124,069 30.1%
Faulty front lights 80,599 19.5
Inadequate brakes 57,101 13.8
Windshield wipers not operating 38,014 9.2
Horns not operating 35,955 8.7
Unsafe Tires 23,359 5.7
All other 53,631 13.0
Other obvious and hazardous defects totaled 53,631 to
account for 13.0 per cent of the total.
"Motorists who continue to operate unsafe vehicles will
account for a large share of the traflSc deaths which occur
during the summer vacation period," Mr. Raleigh said.
"Our Safety Check program proves that motorists are
driving old vehicles which they do not, or can not, keep
in condition. Neglect of the safety equipment of these
vehicles is criminal and must be exposed at every op-
portunity."
The Police Traffic Safety Check opened only a few
days after the President's Highway Safety Conference
called in Washington May 8, 9 and 10 by President
Truman. The Safety Check had the endorsement of the
President and the official approval of the conference.
