SAN FRANCISCO SACRILEGE 



! The evening of March 4th had been 
cool and clear, but as the long night 
drew to a close a curtain of moisture rose 
from the Pacific and drifted in through 
the Golden Gate to shroud San Francis- 
co's North Beach with a ghostly blanket 
of fog. 

For the most part the city slept. There 
were of course e.xceptions. On the 
Kearny Street side of Telegraph Hill 
stocking footed young bohemians darted 
from apartment to apartment in the Cas- 
bah, sipping forbidden liquor and indulg- 
ing in strange, whispered revelry. Half 
way up Pacific Avenue a swarthy man 
known as Izzy Gomez moved his mon- 
strous bulk along the battered bar of his 
secret establishment and beamed evilly at 
his assembled guests. 

On Eddy Street a pint sized reporter 
whom people called "The Killer" stayed 
for one more drink while Shanty Malone 
locked up the back bar and prepared to 
call it a day. A block away a tired young 
woman walked wearily toward her tiny 
hotel room, her night's work done. 
Across the street a beat policeman trying 
doors paused for a moment to watch her 
progress and, after a moment's hesitation, 
shrugged his shoulders and moved on. 

And over on Columbus Avenue, where 
the tortuous slopes of Telegraph Hill 
flow into a gentle incline a solitary man 
carrying a heavy bundle moved through 
the mist toward the massive church that 
towered over Columbus Square. A man 
without a name as far as San Francisco 
was concerned. An anonymous stranger 
moving with grim purpose toward his 
appointment with destiny . . . and death. 

Within the church eight men, none of 
whom knew what he looked like, awaited 
his arrival. They sat in ambush with 
ready guns as they had for many nights 
before, because while they could not 



By Walter R. Hecox 

describe the man they knew what his 
package contained. And they did not ap- 
prove. The eight silent men who guarded 
the altar at SS. Peter and Paul's were 
firmly convinced that nitroglycerine has 
no place in a church. The stranger drew 
nearer, turning up Filbert Street and 
moving rapidly toward the entrance of 
the giant edifice. 




Louis De Mattei 

In Columbus Square a shapeless lump 
on a park bench stirred, stretched, and 
became a man who stared curiously at the 
stranger. His right hand waved erratical- 
ly and for no apparent reason. 

Another man, seated in an apartment 
house next to the church caught the ges- 



ture and turned his attention to a care- 
fully placed mirror. The reflection let 
him see the stranger, and a second man, 
walking down the middle of Filbert 
Street. He too moved toward the church 
and conversed briefly with the man who 
held the package. When he had crossed 
the street and taken a watchful position 
there, the stranger laid down his package, 
placing it carefully where it would do 
the most damage. He lit a match vvhich 
sputtered weakly in the fog and went 
out. The second match he cupped in h s 
liands carefully until it burned brightly. 
He leaned over. A fuse sputtered. The 
stranger turned to run. Corporal Larry 
Alclnerny shoved his revolver from his 
place of concealment and shouted 
"Halt!" And while the fuse burned 
brightly between the pair, the stranger 
drew a gun of his own. 

The dramatic nightmare which had 
terrorized San Francisco's North Beach 
for more than a year was about to end. 

The first bomb had exploded early on 
the morning of January 26th the preced- 
ing year, powdering the moist air of the 
North Beach with a fine spray of plaster 
and concrete. It was not a big bomb. Not 
in comparison with those to come, but 
the explosion was violent enough to shat- 
ter windows for blocks around and bring 
the bulk of San Francisco's Italian popu- 
lation into an angry awakening. 

The calm which had descended over 
the Latin quarter during the pre-dawn 
hours erupted suddenly into a tumul- 
tuous crescendo of angry voices, scream- 
ing sirens, and scurrying policemen. All 
eyes turned toward the towering church 
on Columbus Square where the column 
of dust and smoke drifted up toward the 
mist masked sky and dispersed itself in 
sooty streamers across the startled city.

Another Officer Murdered 



i 



February, 1954 



Quietly, but with a dogged determina- 
tion not often matched in any icind of 
work, peace officers throughout the state 
are helping to track down a trigger hap- 
py burglar who shot and killed Police- 
man Francis AL (Jack) Rea of North 
Sacramento. 

Rea, known affectionately throughout 
the North Sacramento area as "Jack the 
Cop," was shot in the head during a 
running gun battle with the bandit on 
the night of January 2nd, and died in a 
hospital 16 hours later. 



ing on the case was reflected by North 
Sacramento Police Chief ^Villiam F. 
^Vilson, when he told the North Sacra- 
mento City Council : 

"He was murdered by an unknown 
assailant while doing his duty. As yet 
there has been no arrest, but there defi- 
nitely will be one. 

"We're checking every lead we get. 
All of them, regardless of how insigni- 
ficant they may seem, will be in\esti- 
gated." 

This is what happened : 



away as they neared the building. He 
ducked between two houses and Rea 
leaped out of the squad car with a shot- 
gun and gave chase. Gassaway drove 
around the corner, hoping to head the 
man off. 

The prowler fired several shots at the 
assistant chief's car, but failed to hit it. 

He wheeled, and headed back toward 
Rea. There were more shots. Marvelli 
and Jones ran toward the sound of the 
gunfire. They found Rea lying uncon- 
scious in the street. The savage gunman 




1 he lead in the investigation is being 
taken by Jack's fellow officers on the 
North Sacramento Police Department. 
Helping are the state bureau of Criminal 
Identification and Investigation, the 
Sacramento Police Department and 
Sheriff's Office, the Brawley Police De- 
partment, the Santa Ana Police Depart- 
ment, and others. 

The intentness of every officer work- 



Jack Rea 

Joseph Compton, the manager of the 
Acme Brewery Warehouse at 320 Cedar 
Street, North Sacramento, spotted a 
burglar in the building and called the 
police. Rea and Assistant Chief Percy 
Gassaway sped toward the scene. 

Officers Joseph Marvelli and Dean 
Jones hustled to the warehouse in an- 
other car from another direction. 

Ihe burglar spotted Rea and Gass- 



apparenth' iind run straight into him, 
shot him through the head and kept 
going. 

Rea was rushed to the Sacramento 
County Hospital where a team of doc- 
tors worked all night in the \ain effort 
to sa\e his life. 

Meanwhile, the North Sacramento 
officers, with the aid of the Sacramento

THE OAKLAND MATCHES 

Siuiday, December 6th was the last 
shoot for 1953 at the Oakland Club back 
of the Zoological Grounds with over 225 
shooters on the lines and completely up- 
setting the guess of the range officials 
who had allowed for about 185 of tin- 
shooters to bounce the long green for the 
days shooting. The day was a hone\' an.l 
the shooters were out for blood with 
Karl Schaugaard, of the SFPD taking 
the high score over Bob Chow's second 
place. At this time the ^^'estern Revolver 
Association has not announced the 1953 
champion but will do so at their annual 
banquet to be held sometime this month 
approximately the 23rd. There the class 
winners will be presented with their 
awards as will the team winners. The 
pistoleers as they all like the awards 
"Appreciation Awards" sure bring out 
for their shooting trophies. This year 
the awards were little loving cups with 
Spike Spiken receiving a nice gold one 
for his eight straight year without miss- 
ing a match — and that's a record. Ed De- 



Mello, Wesley Lim and Evar Roseburg 
received their awards for seven straight 
years without a miss. After the matches 
there was the usual lucky target shoot 
and some of the gang had a heck of a 
time getting three shots on the paper — 
anyhow, it was a lot of fun. 

Glad to see the scribeshooter. Jack 
Markham, out of the hospital where he 
went for a bit of hernioplasty (how's 
that for a word?) His shooting showed 
he should have had other things patched 
up at the same time. 

Then there was the sad, sad tale of 
Bill Fung appearing on the scene with 
the nicest Scottish cap any chinaboy could 
wear — on Bill it looked charming. Then 
Jack Chanev, he of Irish ancestry, spor- 
ted Bill and it was a tuff go to keep Jack 
from using Bill as a target. The attac'^ed 
photo shows Jacks perple :ed look while 
Bill MacFung looks on quite placid like. 
Alt!~o I noticed 3.IacFung ducked out as 
foon as possible. 

Ph.il Lander, of Oaklan.!, Uk-i; ;o tr '

day, out pops an old timer 'n the n";- 
.=;onage of Al Friend who had also rp :r 




The Old Timer 

his vacation hunting in the wilds of Ida- 
ho. That finished the shooting for Phil 
and when I left late in the afternoon 
there were the two old liars sitting on a 
bench going thru the motions of how 
they killed bears, buffalos, wild-cat<, 
lions — oops — no, not lions. Anyhow it 
was some bull session — and I do mean 
HULL!!!

ASSOCIATED PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS OFFICERS 



John Atkinson, President 



Thomas A. Bayley, Secretary 



October, 1953. 

The Northern California Chapter of 
APCO Inc., was called to order by 
President Atkinson at 1 1 :00 A.M. at the 
Shattuck Hotel in Berkeley- 

The minutes of the last meeting were 
read and approved. 

Host Frank Roach outlined the pro- 
gram of the day. 

Robert Mason of Santa Clara County 
told of a meeting held in regards to a 
State wide radio network for the Fire 
Service which includes 4, 150 MC and 2, 
450 MC channels at an estimated cost of 
$120,000.00. 

The group was pleased to hear Capt. 
McMurphy of Alameda County describe 
the progress in the planning for tying the 
three Inter Systems in the State together. 
The plan proposes that one key station 
in each of the three Inter Systems be ar- 
ranged so that it could dial into the State 
wide system. 

We were informed, that effective Nov. 
1st, the restricted operators permit will 
be issued for an indefinite period. 

The Chairman of the Frequency and 
Engineering Committee McMurphy re- 
quested clearance for a base and mobile 
frequency of 45.14 MC for Madera 
County, Orange Cove requested 155.01 
MC and 155.07 MC for their Inter Sys- 
tem, and Merced County requested 
155.07 MC for Inter System use. Art 
McDole of Monterey County made a 
motion that these frequencies be cleared. 
Ivan Hudson of Piedmont seconded and 
the motion carried. 

We adjourned for lunch at 12:00 
noon. Refreshments were served through 
the courtesy of several of the commercial 
members. The meeting reconvened at 1 
p.m. 

An application for membership ( com- 
mercial) from Donald L. Kestell of 
Neely Enterprises and one for associate 
memlsership from Thomas R. Ferry of 
PG&E were unanimously accepted by 
the membership. 

Santa Clara County was chosen as the 
next meeting place where we will learn 
all about transistors. There being no fur- 
ther business the meeting was adjourned 
at 2 p.m. 

We were all taken by bus to the Uni- 
versity of California Radiation Labs and 
conducted on an extensive tour of the 
Cycletron, the Linear Acceleratoc and 
the 6,000,000,000 volt "Bevatron." 

After seeing what happens to some of 
our taxes we were returned to Berkeley 
by bus and the membership expressed its 



thanks to Frank Roach for a most in- 
teresting meeting. 



November 1953. 

The November meeting of the North- 
ern California Chapter of APCO con- 
veined at Vale Restaurant at Alviso at 

1 1 :00 a.m. The minutes of the last meet- 
ing were read and approved. A portion 
of the minutes of the southern group was 
also read and a discussion followed on 
the advisability of allowing CHP sub- 
stations on the inter system nets. 

Chowchilla requested clearance of 
155.07mc for inter system net, and a 
base and mobile frequency within 24 
OKCs of 155.07mc. 154.89mc was rec- 
ommended provided that there was no 
objection, from Merced County. An al- 
ternate frequency of 155.31mc would be 
available iti that case. 

Yuba County requested 155.13MC. 

Carmel requested 158.85 MC. 

Pacific Grove requested 158.85 MC. 

Concord requested 155.31 MC. 

After a motion by Martin Landers of 
Napa that the above frequencies be 
granted and a second by LeBoeuf of 
Marysville the frequencies were ap- 
proved. 

Humboldt County requested clearance 
of a Base and mobile frequency of 39.86 
MC which was cleared after a motion 
by Maybee of Sonoma County and a 
second by Hudson of Piedmont. 

Art ]VIcDole of Monterey County 
gave the first reading of some minor 
changes to Constitution. 

The meeting adjourned for lunch at 

12 noon. 

Mr. Robert Barrington of the PT&T 
gave a very interesting talk and demon- 
stration about transistors, which gave us 
a rough idea of what we might expect to 
have to work with in the future. 

The business meeting reconvened at 
2 p.m. and a discussion followed in re- 
gards to payment of dues in advance.

MARYSVILLE 1850-1954 



The City of Marysville received its 
name 103 years ago when the citizens of 
the new community at the conHueiice of 
the Feather and Yuba rivers rejected pro- 
posed titles of Yubafield and Circumdoro 
(surroinided with gold). 

Instead the 500 to 1,000 inhabitants 
voted unanimously for the present name, 
in honor of Mrs. Mary Murphy Covil- 
laud, wife of Charles Covillaud, one of 
the foiuijers of Yuba county. A survivor 
of the Donner Party which experienced 
puch frightful hardships in crossing the 
Sierra Nevada in the winter of 1846-47, 
Mrs. Covillaud was described by a writ- 
er in the Marysville Appeal in 1871 who 
declared that "never on the soil of Cali- 
fornia has a woman trod of a purer na- 
ture, more amiable disposition, a more 
generous heart." 

Disaster struck early at the new city 
foundeil on what had previously been 
known as Nye's Ranch. On the night of 
August 30, 1851, a blaze originated in a 
Chinese washhouse on High St. and 
quickly spread to a conflagration which 
destroyed 80 buildings at an estimated 
loss of $500,000. A succession of fires 
followed in the city's early years, but the 
community continued to grow as it shook 
off the efifects of its fiery baptism. 

From such humble beginnings the city 
of Marysville has grown to the present 
day and now boasts a population of more 
than 8,300. Head of the chartered city 
government is Mayor Gavin Mandery 
and his four fellow-councilmen. 

Mandery was elected for his first four- 
year term in 1952. He is associated with 
the Daoust Chevrolet Co. 

Councilman Roy G. Cunningham, 
partner in Bud and Roy service stations, 
was reelected in 1952 to serve a second 
four-year term. Also serving his second 
term as Councilman John J. Murphy, 
\\ ho was elected in 1946 and again in 
1950. Murphy, a former constable, has 
announced at recent council meetings he 
will not seek reelection next year when 
his present term expires. 

Councilman Jack W. Iden, partner 
in Iden's Pharmacy, was elected in 1952 
and served as mayor last year. Council- 
man Marion Bew, proprietor of the 
Lakeview Motel, was elected to serve a 
four-year term in 1950. 

City Councilmen receive $5 for every 
council meeting attended with a limit of 
$150 per member for any one fiscal year. 

Veteran city official is Phil J. Divver, 



Jr., who began his association with

forcing the city zoning regulations. Palm 
is assisted by Mrs. Mary Jane AIcRee 
who has been employed as a clerk-typist 
since August, 1952. 

Police Chief Jack O. Blevins heads 
Marysvjlle's 21-man police department.

and after service with the U. S. Navy in 
World War II was promoted to sergeant

SUTTER COUNTY CENTRALIZES 



With a $500,000 office building of 
modern design ready for occupancy, Sut- 
ter county is planning to centralize its 
government agencies in Yuba City. 

The new structure, on Second St. be- 
tween B and C Sts., faces the old court- 
house and the Hall of Records. 1 he

ANTICIPATION IN DRIVING 

When driving, anticipate the actions 
of the other fellow and you won't so fre- 
quently find yourself in these tight spots 
that call for catlike reactions to avoid 
disaster. Anticipation is half the fun of a. 
feast. It is also, points out the National 
Automobile Club, half the battle of safe 



KNOWING NOISES HELPS 

I he noises that a car makes are ex- 
cellent clues to the maladies by which it 
may be affected, points out the National 
Automobile Club. As many of today's 
automobile instruction books indicate, 
there are impressive differences between 
knocks, squeaks, squeals, rattles, whistles, 
thumps, and so on.

Until commercial bakeries were estab-

DON'T OVERLOOK FRONT 
WHEELS 

One of the places the car owner usual- 
ly forgets to inspect for possible need for 
lubrication is the front wheel bearings, 
according to the National Automobile 
Club. It is true that when well packed 
this point rarely needs further attention 
for a considerable period, but this very 
fact causes many motorists to overlook it 
entirely for months longer than is good 
for its efficient operation.

PISTOL POINTING 

(Continued from page 5) 
Hank Bowes arrives for his first shoot 
with the Sacramento gang and right 
away whaddaya think he sez? "Why 
don't they move them 50 yard targets 
about 20 yards closer ?"01d stuff, Hank. 
Every shooter for the past 37 years has 
made that statement after his first try 
at 50 yards and I hereby predict that for 
the next 37 years new shooters will still 
be saying it. 

The WRA assures me that this year 
they will most definitely send out their 
yearly score and average book. I he gang 
likes 'em and felt a bit put out in 1953 
when the club found it was unable to 
send them to the shooters — but this vear 
—YES!!! The WRA would like the 
Clubs around the bay area to join the 
association (for unity is strength) and 
receive the monthy results so just send in 
the two bucks for the year's dues and the 
^VRA will do the rest. And besides you 
also get a copy of my column each month. 
That's worth the 2 bucks alone. 

Don't forget that the San Jose Pistol 
Club still holds their monthly shoots as 
does the Stockton ganji. The ne.xt Oak- 
land shoot will be in March while San 
Francisco will open in February. Keep 
those dates open. 

Those WRA members who haven't 
the price of the new lapel button just out 
of the jewelers can find Spiken and he 
will trade you sumpin' for one. Spike 
loves to swap anything, horses, guns, 
bobby pins, fertilizer or anything yuh got 
to swap. Spike is living at the range, in 
charge, and can be found there daily a 
ready and a waitin' for barter, trade or 
just plain swap. 

Our idea of putting the family to 
work is exemplified by Ed de Mello who 
had his young daughter standing behind 
him during the .45 National match re- 
trieving the shells as fast as Ed could 
pop 'em out. Of course, after the match 
there was the usual cry and howl about 
loosing brass to some so-and-so who pick- 
ed up more'n he shot but didn't cause 
any comment or excitement for no .45 
match would be complete without its 
stolen brass scream. Wonder, if Ed paid 
th" \oangster for her work? 

Elaine Hunt of the Monterey Hand- 
gun Club, in her second competitive 
shoot, confided that it's a lot harder to 
hit the black in a match than it is when 
one is only practicing. Elaine, young 
lady, \'ou have just made the statement 
that oh, so-o-o-o many tyro's make in 
their early shooting days. 

John Faleti has the right idea as he is 
bringing out his 15 year old son John, 
Jr., to do, a spot of shootin'. From the

Start a beginners school and set himself 
looks of the kid's scores Sunday he should 
up as the teacher so a lot of us can get a 
few pointers. No wonder the old man 
has decided to quit shooting for a spell. 

Oh, these new shooters and their 
troubles! There was our friend "Dee" 
Henry who had a slight case of mis-fire 
ill the Camp Perry match with the in- 
evitable results that he was completely 
discombobulated for the rest of the day 
and couldn't understand wot hoppen to 
all his hard practicing. 

I just couldn't figure out who that 
dope with the gun strapped onto his back 
was. Besides that he had a great big, old 
nickle plated .45 strapped on his leg and 
enuf off size bullets to start a second 
class revolution, if the different sized 
shells would fit his firing pieces. He 
wandered around all day long asking 
questions and taking in the sights but to 
this day I'll be darned I don't know 
what it's all about. 

There was a side bet between the 
Hiway Patrol Gang on one of the 
matches with Boomhower, Kolb and 
Harry Plummer giving the business to 
Milt Klipfel and trying to get his goat. 
The boys wasted their time as it was no 
dice. Milt didn't fall for their stuff, and 
went on to win the match and collect 
his just debts. 

There will be a two day shoot in July 
over the 4th as the ^VRA would like to 
keep up the custom they so long ago es- 
tablished but let it slip for the past couple 
of years. This is a tuff one to decide as 
the 4th is celebrated on Monday giving 
the shooters a three day holiday and just 
how many would be there is problematic 
— anyhow, it's in the making. More 
about it later. 

John Rygh (yep, thas the right spell- 
ing RYGH — but don't know hows the 
pronunciation) from Berkeley, is still 
trying to get a double out of that 10 in 
the Camp Perry match. No one at the 
scoring table could find the tenth shot on 
the target, look as they might, but John 
said it was there and if John sez it was 
there then by God is was there ! Never- 
theless, John got credit for only 9 shots ! 

Most of the gunsmiths were sore as 
the de\il because it wasn't raining Sun- 
day. Being winter and liable to rain the 
gunsmiths gleefully pray for rain, rain, 
rain so the guns will get wet, jam and 
sputter and go out. Then the smiths 
gather up the guns, take 'em to their re- 
spective shops and fix 'em up again in 
great shape. The smiths, as I said before, 
weren't too happy with the sunshine. 

I find a note jotted down among my 
notes about the El Morocco Motel in

MOTORING TAKE-ALONGS 

There are four important things every 
motorist should always carry in his auto- 
mobile, says the California State Auto- 
mobile Association. They are a first-aid 
kit, fire extinguisher, flashlight and a 
package of flares. Maybe you will never 
have to use them, but in an emergency 
any or all of them may save your life 
or the lives of others. 



INSPECT BRAKE DRUMS 

Automobile wheels should be removed 
for inspection of the brake drums at 
least once each season, and oftener if the 
car is used extensively, advises the Cali- 
fornia State Automobile Association. 
Neglected brakes may operate, but dam- 
aged brake drums result when lining 
wears thin and rivets are allowed to cut 
grooves in the drums. 

WIPER CHECK-UP 

It is advisable to make sure of safe, 
clear vision through your automobile 
windshield during the coming wet 
weather driving by having a check-up of 
the windshield wiper blades and the 
wiper operating mechanism, the Califor- 
nia State Automobile Association sug- 
gests. Necessary repairs and replacements, 
now will prevent inconvenience later.

KEEP GLASS CLEAN 

A clean windshield not only improves 
visibility but is handy in other ways, 
points out the National Automobile 
Club. For instance, when it rains there 
will be no abrasive clinging to it to 
scratch the glass when the windshield 
wiper is brought into use. 

When on a long trip always keep the 
rear window clean. Fast driving creates 
a vacuum that pulls the dirt onto the 
back of the car. A dirty window prevents 
use of the rear view mirror. 

Side windows also should be kept clean 
for best possible visibility.

RAILROAD POLICE 
SANTA FE RAILROAD 

Once in a while contact is made with 
a railroad Special Agent or Police Offi- 
cer, but to the average person, little is 
known about them, the scope of their 
authority, duties performed, and where 
they operate. 

Each railroad has its own police de- 
partment, and each railroad has a differ- 
ent title for members of their department 
and the duties assigned them. 

The AT&SF Railroad, better known 
as the Santa Fe, has officers from San 
Francisco to Chicago, Galveston, Texas, 
San Diego, assignment in proportion to 
needs of the service. Duties vary, from 
plain station duty, train yards, escort of 
prisoners or ailing pasengers, investiga- 
tion of missing persons from trains en- 
route, or investigation along the right 
of way of thefts, damage to property, ac- 
cidents, and theft from freight ship- 
ments. Each officer must be aware of the 
state, county and city laws and ordi- 
nances within the district assigned him. 

Each officer when employed in Cali- 
fornia has a 90 day probation period, and 
within that time a check of his qualifica- 
tions, finger prints, personal history is 
made, and, if approved, he is appointed as 
a police officer by the state under Sec. 
228, Sta. of 1901, and in most cases he 
holds a Special Police or Deputy Sheriff 
appointment within the city or county 
where he works, and cooperates with the 
department from which he received the 
appointment. Within the Bay Area there 
are members of the Railroad Police at 
San Francisco (5) Oakland (2) Rich- 
mond, (3) a Division Special Agent at 
San Francisco in charge of other officers 
are employed at Stockton, Fresno, and 
on up the line, with Investigators work- 
ing up and down the line, who have no 
regular asigned hours or assigned beat 
duties. 

Head of the Railroad Police in this 
Area, which includes Los Angeles, is Mr. 
John L. Hastings, Supt. or Special Serv- 
ice at Los Angeles. Each Supt. of Special 
Service has one or more Inspectors who 
work out of the superintendent's office 
where needed, or to take over investiga- 
tions started by officers at different sta- 
tions. In time of need, such as a wreck, 
disaster, or other trouble, all officers 
within the area are called to the scene. 
Officers from San Francisco are sent to 
Los Angeles, if an emergency exists 
there, or any other section on the coast 
lines, when needed. 

Railroad Police of all railroads co- 
operate, lists of known pick pockets, bag- 
gage thieves, bunco operators, etc. are 
passed through the protective section of

THE COP 

By Walt AIason 

No bard embalms the cop in song. 
Few people praise or toast him ; 

Whate'er he does is always wrong. 
So we unite to roast him. 

He is the butt of hoary jests — 
Can't name the time he wasn't ; 

We damn him if he makes arrests. 
And damn him if he doesn't. 

We cuss him daily for his sins. 
With criticisms haunt him ; 

For every copper should be twins — 
He's never where we want him. 

We blame him if some schoolboy hits 

Our precious little AVillie ; 
We blame him if the cat has fits, 

Or if the cow goes silly. 

AVe roast him from crown to feet. 

The custom is contagious ; 
And still the copper walks his beat. 

Calm, patient, and courageous. 

He guards the traffic in great style, 
From blockades and congestions; 

And answers with a kindly smile 
Five million silly questions. 

He hunts the bad man and the yegg. 
He walks all night with dangers ; 

And gets a bullet in the leg, 
Pursuing deadly strangers.

ACCIDENT RATE UP 

1 raffic accidents in San Francisco de- 
creased 2.2 per cent in 1953 as compared 
with 1952. There was, however, one 
more death in 1953 than in the previous 
year, with pedestrians again accounting 
for the majority of the fatalities, accord- 
ing to Iver C. Larson, executive vice 
president of the San Francisco Chapter, 
National Safety Council. 

There were 17,004 reported accidents 
in 1953, compared to 17,399 the year be- 
fore, or a drop of 395. The greatest de- 
cline was in accidents involving a colli- 
sion of two or more motor vehicles, a 
drop of 281. Progress was also made to- 
ward reducing accidents involving motor 
vehicles and pedestrians. This type of 
accident showed a drop of 82. 

Almost every one of the twelve major 
categories of accidents showed appreci- 
able declines — with the e.xception of mo- 
tor vehicles striking bicycles and motor 
vehicles overturned in roadways. There 
were 19 more auto-bicycle accidents and 
72 more vehicles overturned than in 
1952. Police attribute the latter mishaps 
mostly to e.xcessive speeding. 

San Francisco had 67 traflfic fatalities 
in 1953, one more than the previous year. 
Pedestrian deaths totaled 43 — the same 
as 1952. 

Persons killed in motor vehicles col- 
liding with other motor vehicles dropped 
from 18 in 1952 to ten in 1953. while 
there were six deaths in 1953 resulting 
from automobiles overturning in the 
roadway or running off the roadway, as 
compared with none in 1952. Motor ve- 
hicles striking fixed objects resulted in 
seven deaths, an increase of three over 
1952; and motor vehicles striking other 
objects, such as construction areas, ac- 
counted for one death. 

"In view of the fact that almost all 
types of accidents decreased in 1953, we 
have been greatly concerned with the in- 
crease of accidents involving bicycles and 
automobiles, and automobiles overturn- 
ing due to fast and reckless driving,'" 
Larson said. 

"The National Safety Council, the 
San Francisco Junior Chamber of Com- 
merce, California State Automobile As- 
sociation and other agencies are current- 
ly cooperating the a "Lite-A-Bike cam- 
paign to cut bicycle accidents. Safety 
pamphlets and strips of Scotchlite re- 
flector tape are being distributed free 
through the San Francisco License Bii- 
real to all bicycle owners. 

"Police are effectively reducing the 
speeding hazard with increased patrols of 
Golden Gate Park and other areas in the 
city where accidents resulting in over- 
turned cars have been most frequent." 
Larson stated.

THEY CALLED HIM 
"LUCKY" 

From the talk one hears about the so 
called "perfect crime" it is obvious that 
most people do not realize there are a 
great many unsolved murders moulder- 
ing in the files of the larger police depart- 
ments throughout the country. 

By the same token it is obvious that 
the man on the street is not aware that 
there are a great many homicides which 
do not rate a one paragraph story in the 
pages of the bustling metropolitan press. 
\Vhen, at the year's end, he reads a 
roundup story which tells him there were 
forty-one murders in San Francisco dur- 
ing the past year he assumes, subcon- 
sciously, that he read or heard about all 
forty-one killings.

He will never know how wrong he is. 
Less than half of the murders which take 
place in this nation's larger cities ever 
rate a line in the newspapers, and the 
majority of these receive little attention. 
It is an axiom with all city editors that 
a murder, in order to be worthy of at- 
tention, must have that intangible some- 
thing known as "class. 

Because of this many of the most fas- 
cinating tales in the files of every homi- 
cide detail are, like Sir Thomas Grey's 
flowers, "born to blush unseen." 

The murder of Phyllis Aguon had lit- 
tle to offer in the nature of class in spite 
of its bizarre nature. The death of the 
shapely brunette was just good enough 
to rate page one on the early street sales 
e<]itions of the afternoon papers and un- 
important enough to be forgotten the 
next day. But there are two men who 
will never forget the murder of Phyllis

Aguon. Lieutenant Martin Lee and In- 
spector Alvin Corrasa of the San Fran- 
cisco Police Department Inspectors' 
Bureau frequently recall the case which 
ran them ragged for almost a year and 
finally ended on the trail of a Marine 
with the fantastically appropriate nick- 
name of "Lucky." 

No one who rolled out to the Divisa- 
dero Street apartment house that night 
is likely to forget the body they found 
lying at the foot of a dimly lighted stair- 
way. Phyllis Aguon was moderately at- 
tractive from the shoulders up, but her 
statuesque body was beautiful by any 
standards and lying there on her back, 
wearing only a silken slip which was 
tightly knotted around her neck, she left 
a lasting impression. 

It was almost three o'clock in the 
morning when the original call was re- 
layed to the Northern Station patrol car. 
A latecomer to the Divisadero Street 
apartment house had reported a drunk 
blocking a doorway and the two officers 
were sent to investigate. Not many mo- 
ments later the bewildered complainant 
was attempting to explain to the police 
just how he had managed to stumble 
over the murdered body of a nude wom- 
an and not recognize her as such, no mat- 
ter how dark it was. He was a good 
starting point for the investigation by 
Lee and Corrasa when they arrived on 
the scene, but as a suspect he lasted only 
until a doctor was able to estimate the 
time the woman had been dead. The fact 
that she had been dead almost two hours 
before discovery provided him a perfect 
alibi . . . and made every one else in the 
apartment house a suspect. 

The whole case worked that way. In- 
credible as it seems, every resident in 
that Diversadero Street apartment house 
was able to account for his actions at the 
time Phyllis Aguon was murdered and 
all of them had an alibi. Lee and Corrasa 
had their work cut out. 

Days passed while the detectives in- 
vestigated every facet in the life of the 
murdered woman. Every acquaintance 
was questioned. All her relatives were 
contacted. Physical evidence . . . the 
pathologist's report, fingerprints and 
photographs . . . were examined and re- 
examined. Slowly the picture came into 
focus. Every clue, each lead, [Jointed to 
a red headed Marine, whom a lot of peo- 
ple new as Lucky as the logical killer. 

Relatives of Phyllis Aguon identified 
Lucky as the man who had visited her 
home town, a suburb of San Francisco, 
with her on the day before the fatal in- 
terval on the doorstep. Favern owners 
in San Francisco remembered Phvllis had

been seen with Lucky on that last, fatal 
evening. Friends remembered meeting 
Phyllis and her handsome, red haired 
Marine. There was the group of people 
who had seen Phyllis and her boy friend 
argue as the small hours approached who 
had actually seen him strike the shapely 
brunette and heard him threaten to 
throttle her. 

\Vhile the investigation developed, one 
major flaw appeared in the detectives' 
case. A lot of people knew Lucky, and a 
lot more were sure they would recognize 
him if they saw him again. But no one 
knew his proper name. He was known as 
Lucky and, as close as Lee and Corrasa 
could discover, nothing else. 

The two detectives discovered that in 
a body of men the size of the Marine 
Corps there are a lot of red headed per- 
sons with the nickname "Lucky." They 
sorted them out and sifted them down. 
Photograph after photograph was shown 
to the witnesses who had seen the Marine 
with Phyllis. Weeks passed into months. 
Eventually patience paid off. 

Members of the murdered woman's 
family recognized a picture. Other wit- 
nesses verified their judgement. Armed 
with a name Lee and Corrasa were able 
to dig deeper into the case and discover 
definitely that Phyllis had frequently 
dated the man whose picture had been 
identified. Satisfied at last that their case 
was complete the detectives told their 
story to the Marine Corps. The Corps 
promised to cooperate. Lee and Corrasa 
sighed with relief. Within a few days the 
case would be in the hands of the courts. 
Then they received the call from a Ma- 
rine colonel. 

"I wouldn't arrest Lucky if I were 
you," he advised. 

"Why not?" Lee demanded. "We 
have a perfect case against him." 

"Not now," the colonel replied. "We 
checked on Lucky. He had a little 
trouble a short time before the murder. 
He was restricted to his station on the 
day of the killing." 

"But couldn't he have gone AWOL 
and sneaked back safely?" 

"He could have," the colonel answered 
dryly. "But what sergeant of the guard 
would admit he got away with it? And 
what court would convict him ?" 

Lee sighed, thanked the officer, and 
hung up. He moved to his desk, closed 
the folder bearing the data on the Aguon 
case, and stamped it with large purple 
letters. "Case Inactive." Then he turned 
to Corrasa. 

"Now I know where that Marine got 
his nickname," he declared. "Just how 
lucky can a man get ?"

BUMBLE BEE "FINGERS" 
FEDERAL FUGITIVE 

Luther Saunders was convicted in a 
Federal Court of a liquor law violation, 
but he jumped bail. When Deputy 
United States Marshal J. Harrison 
Roche paused to act as a Good Samari- 
tan he recognized Saunders who thus 
landed at McNeil Island Prison. The 
poetry covering the strange coincidence 
was writen by a friend of the Marshal. 
— Editor. 
How doth the little busy bee 

Assist the roving copper? 
By boldly stinging culprits 

In places hardly proper. 

'Twas a fine day last September 
When U. S. Marshal Roche 

Was driving through Los Angeles 
In his speedy benzine coach. 

He passed another motorist 
Who was fixing up a puncture 

But a busy little bumble bee 
Arrive at just this juncture. 

The sweating, cursing motorist 
At his work was bending over; 

The pattern on his pantaloons 
To the bee resembled clover. 

Upon these pants the bee sat down; 

His sitting was not tender; 
The tire fixer gave a scream 

And bit clear through his fender. 

The passing U. S. Marshal 

In horror jammed his brakes on ; 

"This surely is a mad man," 

Said he, "Hear how he takes on." 

Prepared to cope with anything. 

E'en to a crazy beggar. 
Right boldly forth he strode and met — 

A fugitive bootlegger! 

"Aha!" the marshal cried in glee, 
"You naughtie bootie, come with me! 

"And for a raiding partner — Gee! 
"Give me the little bumble bee!"

— SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 

Problems of safet\' and safety educa- 
tion around the modern automobile don't 
start when it gets to rolling down the 
road, points out the National Automo- 
bile Club. They start much earlier, when 
the first bolt is being cast, the first fen- 
der shaped up. Safety and safety educa- 
tion, in fact, is one of the major opera- 
tions in the modern automotive factory. 
In the big plants around Detroit, 
crews of industrial hygiene specialists 
keep roaming about constantly on the 
lookout for metal fumes, dust, gases or 
other hazards to health. Safety specialists 
comb the plants from end to end search- 
ing closely for every dangerous situation, 
every dangerous mechanical process, and 
when they discover these they lose no 
time in eliminating them with safety de- 
vices, safety guards. 

But the detecting of danger areas and 
the covering of them with safety devices 
and guards is only part of the job. Per- 
haps the larger part of the job is getting 
the personnel to make use of devices and 
guards, for people are often lazy and 
careless and it has been found that hu- 
man carelessness is involved in more than 
eighty per cent of accidents. Safety ex- 
perts are continually doing what they 
can to educate personnel in the proper 
use of safe methods and safety devices. 

In spite of all the safety work men can 
do, however, in the way of accident pre- 
vention, accidents still happen and then 
the medical men have to take over. And 
in most big automotive factories they take 
over in a grand style. One company for 
example, has thirty-five first-aid stations 
and twenty-eight hospitals that are staff- 
ed by three hundred and twenty-nine 
doctors, nurses. X-ray technicians, first- 
aid men, and others. 

Another company finds that during the 
calendar year its personnel make use of 
five hundred thousand cold tablets, fif- 
teen hundred bottles of citro-carbonate 
for upset stomachs, fifteen hundred tubes 
of salve for sore muscles, one million 
seven hundred thousand aspirin tablets, 
and thirty tons of protective skin cream. 
That may seem like a lot of medicine, but 
it's just what it takes to keep the wheels 
rolling around an automotive factory.

PREPARE FOR SNOW TRIP 

Planning a trip to the snow? 

In case you are, the California High- 
way Patrol has some helpful suggestions 
intended to add enjoyment and safety to 
the trip. 

"First, " emphasizes Commissioner B. 
R. Caldwell of the Patrol, "be sure you 
include a set of skid chains in the car and 
pack them where they can be easily reach- 
ed when you arrive in snow country." 

"When you reach a sign stating 'chains 
advised' you have reached a logical spot 
to stop your car and put on the chains. 
It is very probable that you will find an- 
other sign not too far up the road which 
will announce 'chains required.' This 
point will be the end of the road unless 
the car is equipped with chains," Cald- 
well said. 

Motorists are warned that even with 
chains an automobile is difficult to con- 
trol on ice or snow if operated at speeds 
that would be reasonable on dry pave- 
ments. 

"Another definite hazard in the snow 
areas is slick ice," continued the Com- 
missioner. "This is caused by alternate 
thawing and freezing and is usually 
found in shaded areas. Watch for these 
spots and slow down before hitting them. 
Whatever you do, don't apply the brakes 
while traveling over such areas, and, if 
your car does start to skid, turn the 
front wheels in the direction of the skid." 

"Enjoy the snow areas of our state but 
remember, driving conditions are much 
different than experienced in your nor- 
mal drixing," he concluded. 

OVERHEATING 

Sediment in the cooling system, or any 
foreign matter, is particularly to be 
avoided, points out the National Auto- 
mobile Club. If anything of this sort 
lodges in the thermostat valve, the water 
may not circulate to the radiator when 
the engine reaches the proper tempera- 
ture, thus causing th esystem to overheat. 

STANDING TRAFFIC 

Dri\e at a safe speed when coming up 
behind standing traffic, advises the Na- 
tional Automobile Club. In such traffic 
situations it is all too easy to misjudge 
distances, and misjudged distances can 
mean serious mishap. 

WASH WORTH EFFORT 

At this season the task of keeping the 
car clean is more difficult, points out the 
National Automobile Club, The extra 
effort, however, is worth the time or the 
cost. If the motorist is indifferent, reno- 
\ation of the finish may become neces- 
sary.

TRANSPORTATION CENTER 

The establishment of a national 
Transportation Center at Northwestern 
University has been announced by Presi- 
dent J. Roscoe Miller. 

The new Center will carry on a pro- 
gram of research, undergraduate train- 
ing, and graduate study aimed at the so- 
lution of major problems in the highway, 
rail, air, pipeline and water divisions of 
the nation's transportation industry. 

The Center is a joint undertaking of 
the University's School of Commerce, 
Technological Institute, and Traffic In- 
stitute. Several other divisions of the 
University will also participate. 

An advisory committee of business and 
professional men interested in transpor- 
tation will be formed to aid the Univer- 
sity in the formulation and direction of 
the Center's activities. 

"Transportation is such a vital factor 
in modern living," said President Miller, 
"that it seems desirable to expend the 
work of Northwestern University in this 
held. Because of its rapid development, 
transportation has become increasingly 
complex and has created many unsolved 
problems — economic, technical, and so- 
cial. 

"Northwestern University is admir- 
ably situated for transportation research 
and education. We have already done a 
great deal of work in this field, and we 
believe that, with adequate support, we 
can make a substantially greater and 
more effective contribution through our 
new Transportation Center." 

The following have been appointed to 
the University Committee charged with 
the initial direction and planning of the 
Transportation Center: Stanley Berge, 
professor of transportation, and Leon A. 
Bosch, director of the Graduate Divi- 
sibn. School of Commerce; Burgess H. 
Jennings, chairman of mechanical engi- 
neering, and Carl W. Muhlenbruch, 
professor of civil engineering. Techno- 
logical Institute ; George W. Barton, 
traffic engineer, and Franklin M. Kreml, 
director. Traffic Institute. Mr. Kreml is 
serving as chairman of the committee.

OFFICER MURDERED 

(Continued from page 4^} 

police, the sheriff's office and highway 
patrolmen, started the most intensive 
manhunt the area had seen since a cow- 
ardly gunman shot and killed North 
Sacramento Police Chief E. G. Fish, 
August 11, 1935. (The killer Alfred 
Paine of Oakland, is serving a life term 
in Folsom Prison.) 

Chief AVilson ordered a house to 
house search of the vicinity. With splen- 
did cooperation from residents, he and his 
men searched, room by room, through 
more than 100 houses while the occu- 
pants sat huddled in the living rooms. 

The murder weapon, a .22 caliber tar- 
get pistol, was found near the murder 
scene, and quickly was identified as one 
of 24 stolen in a Santa Ana sporting 
goods store burglary. The State CII was 
called in to check this angle and the San- 
ta Ana police pledged their help. 

An all points bulletin was sent out 
with the killer's description : 20 to 22 
years of age, 5 feet 10 inches tall, be- 
tween 150 and 160 pounds, dark hair and 
of Mexican descent. He was wearing 
dark trousers or jeans, a brown jacket 
with a three inch wide vertical stripe 
down both sides of the front. 

The police station switchboard was 
swamped almost immediately with calls 
from residents who thought they had 
seen the murderer. The best tip came 
from N. J. Jenson, who lives near the 
warehouse. 

A doughty 78 year old, Jensen came 
upon the slayer behind his house minutes 
after the shooting. He seized the man, 
and tried to drag him to the front of the 
house, meanwhile shouting for an officer. 
The man slugged him, however, and 
escaped. 

Unfortunately the house to house 
search, the running down of numerous 
leads and the other intensive work did 
not turn up the murderer. He still is at 
large. 

But a lot of grim faced policemen, 
their hearts in their work, are patiently 
tracking him down. As Chief AVilson, 
said they will. 

And what kind of guy was Jack Rea ? 

The record shows he was a family 
man, 48, who left behind a grieving wife 
and four children. His favorite police 
job was guarding a school crossing so the 
school children would not get hurt. 

And none ever did get hurt during the 
years he guarded the crossing. He had 
been a policeman since 1945.

During the Summer of 1952 a fire 
levelled all the structures in the park 
where North Sacramento youngsters 
played bail. Rea organized work gangs 
of neighborhood kids and in double quick 
time had the ball diamond in operation 
again. 

He was a founder, director and team 
manager of the Pee Wee Baseball 
League, a police department project for 
youngsters. 

But aside from the record, what did 
his neighbors and fellow workers think 
of him. Here are a few quotes : 

Mrs. Earl Myers of North Sacra- 
mento: "Three months ago my little girl 
(Barbara, 2) wandered off with her col- 
lie dog. Jack noticed the dog circling the 
girl and figured she was lost. He was off 
duty at the time, but he managed to get 
her home to us. He was just marvelous, 
that's all." 

Chief Wilson: "He was a good man in 
every way. And I'm not just saying that 
because he's dead. He carried badge No. 
1 and from now on that will be Jack 
Rea's Badge. It won't ever be assigned 
again." 

Mrs. Lucille Chapman of North Sac- 
ramento: "He was the kind of cop who 
always tried to bring out the good in 
people. He wasn't always waiting to 
jump down your throat. He tried to 
show you how to do things the right 
way. " 

Mrs. Harold Keener, a neighbor: "He 
was such a good man with children. He 
was always helping the boys with their 
baseball teams and everything. All the 
kids used to call to him: 'Hi, Jack'. And 
he was never in too much of a hurry to 
stop and talk to them." 

Mrs. Harold Penner of North Sacra- 
mento: "My boy, Keith, used to go fish- 
ing with Jack and his boys a lot. He was 
always doing things for the kids." 

And Jack's grief stricken widow, could 
only say: "We will miss him so. We will 
miss him so terribly." 

Only once before the night he was shot 
fatp.lly did R"a draw his service revolver. 
It v.'a-, in 1951. He and Chief Wilson 
arrer.tcd two men wanted for passing bad 
checks. While Rea was handcuffing one 
of the prisoners, the man hit him in the 
face, breaking his glasses. Rea, his face 
and eyes covered with blood, drew his 
gun. The prisoner gave up. 

And that's where the best of all the 
quotes comes in. It's from Jack the Cop 
himself.

His brother-in-law, Clarence Carlson 
of Redding, said ; 

"One time Jack told me about ha\ing 
a kid in the sights of his revolver. He said 
he just couldn't pull the trigger, even 
though the kid might have shot him — he 
was armed. 

"He told me the only thing he could 
think of was his own sons." 

I hat's the kind of a man and a police- 
man Rea was. And that's just one of the 
reasons the killer is going to be caught 
and Jack the Cop will be revenged. 

MOTOR BRAKES BEST 

The engine is a good brake at all times, 
but there is one instance where it prob- 
ably is the best, according to the National 
Automobile Club. That occurs when one 
has blown out a tire. Putting on the 
brakes to stop a car, especially if a front 
tire has blown, makes the steering job 
many times more difficult. If the way 
ahead is clear, the better plan is to let the 
engine bring the car to a stop with the 
brakes used as sparingly as possible. 



BAD BRAKES 

Bad brakes and bad driving attitudes 
can both work to cause serious traffic 
accidents, advises the National Automo- 
bile Club. If you would keep yourself 
safe, keep your brakes tight and your 
driving attitudes right. 



TROUBLE FORECAST 

Any tendency of the speedometer to 
vibrate should be met with an inspection 
by an e.xpert on these delicate instru- 
ments, advises the National Automobile 
Club. The vibration may be due to loose 
unions or looseners in the flexible shaft or 
too shary a bend in the latter. A lack of 
lubrication or incorrect meshing of the 
gears are two other prolific causes of 
speedometer troubles. 



A MATTER OF VALVES 

That bucking effect that occurs when 
picking up speed from, say, twelve or 
fifteen miles an hour in high gear, ver\ 
rareh has an\thing to do with the condi- 
tion of the clutch or drive mechanism, 
points out the National Automobile Club. 
Nearly always it is a sign that the en- 
gine needs to be tuned up, from \ales to 
ignition.

TOO LATE FOR LUNCH 

It was Tuesday, June 2, 1953. Coro- 
nation day, in case anyone remembers. 
In faraway London the thunder of guns 
and pealing of bells proclaimed to mil- 
lions of massed Englishmen that Eliza- 
beth II had formally ascended to the 
British throne. A day of rejoicing in Eng- 
land . . . and a day when millions of 
American housewives huddled around 
television sets and saw for the first time 
the age old ceremony. 

Marybelle McGuire might have been 
among them had she been present. The 
coronation was a page from history 
which the kindly, intelligent housewife 
might not have been inclined to miss if 
possible. But fate had other plans for the 
attractive thirty-nine year old woman 
that day. 

Lowell McGuire was aware of the big 
event which was taking place half-way 
around the world, but it was insignificant 
in the mind of a nine-year old boy. He 
whistled discordantly as he followed an 
erratic course along the sun soaked hill- 
side toward the rambling home on Vista 
Drive in San Carlos, California, where 
lunch should have been waiting. The 
warm spring weather which came to the 
San Francisco peninsula so reluctantly 
in 1953 had arrived with a flourish. 
There are a lot of things a fellow can do 
when the sun is shining and young Mc- 
Guire was thinking about all of them as 
he made his way from the Britton Acres 
School to his home and midday meal. He 
had no way of knowing that lunch would 
be a little late that day. 

Death, not lunch, was waiting at the 
dining room table. 

Lowell McGuire skipped through the 
open gate, darted across the well trim- 
med lawn, and opened the front door. 

"I'm here. Mom. What's for lunch?" 

No answer. 

"Hey, Mom. Where are you?" 

Still no answer. 

Lowell frowned and moved through 
the living room toward the rear of the 
house. "What's going on, Mom? I've 
got to eat and go back to school." 

The youngster entered the dining 
room, still calling. The McGuire house 
was a large one. His mother could be 
ani,rvvhere. Crossing the threshold he 
caught sight of the flash of color beneath 
the dining room table. A bright red 
blouse, black skirt, and stark, white flesh. 

"Hey, Mom, what are you doing down 
there ?" 

Mrs. McGuire did not reply. Not a 
muscle moved. 

"Mom!"

Silence, after the echoes had subsided. 
"MOM!" 

Then he saw the darker red. The deep 
cardinal fluid which formed a sticky pool 
beneath his mother's prostrate body. The 
boy's voice dropped to a bewildered 
half whimper. "Are you hurt, Mom?" 

Mrs. McGuire could not tell him that 
she was beyond pain. The boy pleaded. 
"Please, Mom, say something. Tell me 
what happened. " 

1 he continuing lack of response con- 
vinced him. Thoroughly frightened and 
pale with shock he stumbled across the 
room to the telephone and dialed the 
operator. 

"My name is Lowell McGuire and I 
live at 557 'Vista Drive," he reported. 
"Something's wrong with my mother." 

"What is the nature of the trouble?" 
the operator inquired. 

"I don't know," the boy answered. 
"Something's wrong. She's bleeding and 
awfully quiet. She won't talk to me. I 
don't know what's the matter with her." 

The operator routed the call to the 
San Mateo County Sheriff's oflSce who 
notified the San Carlos Police Depart- 
ment after hearing the boy's story. 

Young McGuire had sought the assist- 
ance of neighbors by the time Sergeant 
James Edling of the San Carlos Police 
Department arrived. A small knot of 
them had gathered outside the McGuire 
house. 

"Mother's inside," the boy reported. 
"I don't know what is the matter with 
her." He gestured toward the house. 
Sergeant Edling entered alone, and found 
his way to the dining room. One look at 
the woman on the floor told him she was 
beyond assistance. 

Marybelle McGuire lay on her back 
on the edge of the rug, staring sightlessly 
at the ceiling. A dark splotch on her 
blouse told of an injury to the abdomen 
and the partially dried puddle of blood 
on the floor and rug indicated she had 
bled heavily before dying. Edling looked 
around the room. 

The chair on which Mrs. McGuire 
had evidently been sitting was wedged 
between the table and the wall. Another 
chair, directly across the table from the 
woman, was lightly askew. Edling in- 
spected the floor around the second chair. 
Two tiny brass shell cases gleamed 
brightly on the living room rug. The ser- 
geant found the telephone and dialed 
Chief of Police George Seely. 

"You had better come out to 557 Vista 
Drive," he told his superior. "Ben Mc- 
Guire's wife is dead. It looks like she 
has been murdered."

Chief Seely arrived at the McGuire 
home in a matter of minutes. Edling 
greeted him at the door. 

"Where is she?" the chief inquired. 

"In the dining room. Apparently she 
bled pretty heavily from a wound in the 
abdomen before she died. From her ap- 
pearance 1 would say most of the blood 
is drained from her. The kid had the best 
description for it. He said she was white 
as a bone." 

"What makes you think it's murder?" 

"Directly across the dining room table 
from her there are a couple of shell cases. 
Twenty-two caliber," Edling replied. 
"And a dining room chair is slightly 
ajar, as though someone had been sitting 
directly opposite her just before she fell. " 

Chief Seely looked the dining room 
over carefully. He studied the shell cases, 
then turned his attention to the rest of 
the room. A tiny mark on the wall di- 
rectly behind Mrs. McGuire's overturn- 
ed chair held his interest. He moved 
around the table and examined it, then 
turned to Edling. 

"Someone sitting in that chair shot 
her all right," he said. "He missed with 
one of those two shots. Ihe bullet is in 
the wall there. There's one thing about 
this that worries me though. This room 
is too orderly. The only thing that is out 
of place is that one chair where the vic- 
tim was sitting. The other one is just 
pushed back as though someone got up 
from the table and walked away. Now 
how do you account for that?" 

Edling shrugged. "There's only one 
explanation as far as I can see. " 

The chief nodded. "Whoever it was 
knew Mrs. McGuire well. She didn't 
expect any rough stuff." He paused. I've 
called the District Attorney's office. 
Adolph Fernandez is coming over to 
help with the investigation. Don't move 
anything until he gets here." The chief 
sighed. "Now I've got an unpleasant 
task in front of me." 

Bennett McGuire, a well built, ath- 
letic man in the early thirties, was in the 
gymnasium when a student approached 
him with the message. "Someone wants 
to talk to you on the telephone, Coach," 
he reported. "It must be important." 

All the way to the telephone McGuire 
tried to tell himself it was foolish. A lot 
of people got called to the telephone 
every day. ^Vhy worry? But the basket- 
ball coach was worried. By the time he 
reached the telephone he was bathed in 
perspiration which was not the result of 
exertion. A hard knot gathered in his 
stomach. It churned with nausea. His 
hands trembled as he picked up the in- 
strument.

"This is McGuire speaking," he said 
in as calm a voice as possible. 

"Ben, this is Chief Seely," the official 
reported. "Can you come out to your 
house right away?" 

"Sure, Chief. But what's the matter? 
\Vhat's happened ?" 

"I think I had better tell you when 
you get here, Ben." 

"I'll be right there," McGuire prom- 
ised. He hung up the phone, staring 
blankly at the other side of the room. 
"She's dead," he told himself. Marybelle 
is dead," he repeated. And all the way 
from San Mateo High School to San 
Carlos he tried to talk himself out of the 
idea. But it was no use. His wife was 
dead. He was sure of it. 

Inspector Adolph Fernandez, investi- 
gator for the San Mateo County Dis- 
trict Attorney's office, found a scene of 
controlled confusion at the McGuire 
home when he arrived there in response 
to Chief Seely's call. Policemen whom 
Seely had stationed about the property 
kept inquisitive children from darting 
past the boundaries and peering in the 
windows. At the driveway a little girl 
stood talking to one of the officers. 

"But I'm Marilyn McGuire," she 
said. "I live here. My mother expects 
me for lunch." 

The officer turned bewildered eyes on 
Fernandez and shook his head. Fernan- 
dez nodded and knelt beside the child. 

"Your mother is too busy for lunch 
right now, Marilyn," he explained. "She 
wants you to go visiting for a while. Do 
you see anyone here you would like to 
visit?" 

A young woman stepped forward. 
"She can visit with me. Would you like 
that, Marilyn?" 

The little girl nodded doubtfully and 
was led away by the neighbor. Fernandez 
turned to the officer. "Is the mother 
dead?" 

Fhe policeman nodded. "Looks like 
she was shot. They're waiting for you." 
Fernandez was greeted by Chief Seely 
at the door. 1 he policeman showed him 
the scene, including the two shell cases 
and the bullet mark in the wall. Fernan- 
dez focused his attention on a second 
wall mark, then went back to where the 
shall cases were lying. A third cartridge 
case was almost hidden by the chair leg. 
He glanced at the woman's still form 
curiously. 

"No sign of a struggle, "^'et this fel- 
low shot three times. The woman looks 
perfectly calm. The only thing that is 
out of place is her apron and that ap- 
parently fell to one side when she keeled 
over. Strange."

"\ ou can say that again," Seely told 
him. 

"Any sign of forceful entry?" 

"We checked the doors and windows. 
If they were forced the guy was either 
good or lucky. There's not a jimmy mark 
on them." 

Fernandez frowned. "And she's per- 
fectly calm. As though she didn't believe 
the person would really shoot until she 
was dying. What do you make of it?" 

"Just that. She didn't believe the kill- 
er would shoot. She knew the person." 

"That's about it," the inspector agreed. 
"How about the rest of the house? Have 
you checked it?" 

Vhe chief nodded. "Everything is ship- 
shape. All except one room. And it does 
not make any sense. I'll show it to you." 

He led Fernandez to the second story 
and into a small room at the rear of the 
house. It was obviously a little girl's 
bedroom and it had been thoroughly ran- 
sacked. Drawers, most of them empty, 
hung wide open, the closet door was 
ajar, and even the mattress appeared to 
have been lifted from its original position 
on the bed. 

"\Vhy?" Fernandez asked. "AVhy 
would the killer loot this room and only 
this room?" 

"Apparently he knew what he wanted 
would be here and only here," Seely de- 
clared. "It bears out the theory that he 
must have known the family." 

A tour through the rest of the house 
revealed that nothing else had been dis- 
turbed. Fernandez looked over the rooms 
occupied by the McGuire children and 
their parents. 

"Two little girls and the boy," he 
commented. "I wonder where the other 
girl is?" 

"She's not the McGuire's child," Seely 
told him. She's a ward of theirs. A dis- 
tant relative, I understand. She's in a 
hospital now receiving some sort of psy- 
chiatric treatment. Apparently she led a 
pretty unhappy childhood until she came 
here." 

"Maybe McGuire can help solve this 
riddle," Fernandez said. "He must have 
some idea who the killer is." 

While Fernandez photographed the 
death scene and the ransacked room, 
Seely interviewed Lowell McGuire who 
had regained his composure to a remark- 
able degree. Aside from revealing that 
the front door had been unlocked and 
slightly ajar when he entered the house 
the boy could add little to the officer's 
store of information. A short time later 
Bennett McGuire, pale faced and trem- 
bling, arrived.

"Where is my wife?" he inquired 
without preliminaries. 

As gently as possible, Seely told him 
about the shooting. The former athlete 
sank to a chair in the living room. He 
stifled a sob and fought for control of 
his voice. 

"That's it, then," he said at last. "He 
finally got his revenge." 

Fernandez had entered the room and 
overheard the remark. 

"^Vho?" he demanded. "Who got his 
revenge?" 

"Arthur Herbert, her stepfather." 
McGuire sighed. "I told her he was dan- 
gerous." 

"Why would he want to kill your 
wife?" Fernandez demanded. 

"It's a long story," AIcGuire explain- 
ed. "It started more than a year ago 
when there was an explosion in Her- 
bert's Los Angeles apartment." 

The basketball coach explained that 
IVIrs. McGuire's mother had been one of 
five women who had married the man. 
She had married him in 1928 and eventu- 
ally he deserted her. Somehow he had 
remained in contact with his stepdaughter, 
Marybelle. 

A gas explosion in Herbert's apartment 
on January 21, 1952 injured him badly 
and he had sent his seven year old 
daughter, Jerrylann to Las Vegas to live 
with his half sister. 

Jerrylann had stayed there until it be- 
came apparent that the arrangement was 
not working out. There were three other 
small children in the house and the half 
sister's husband was invalided. At that 
point the McGuires, who had met each 
other while teaching at a school for han- 
dicapped and underprivileged children, 
offered to take the little girl. 

To satisfy California juvenile laws, 
Jerrylann was made a ward of the San 
Mateo County Juvenile Court on May 
7, 1952 and placed in the McGuire 
home. She appeared to be as happy there 
as she had ever been, but appeared in- 
capable of adjusting to a normal life. 

She was a pretty, blond child with an 
appealing personality. In spite of this she 
suffered from extreme despondency and 
self criticism which appeared to interfere 
with normal adjustment. She told the 
authorities she had been mixed up since 
the day she was born. 

On February 23, 1953 the child was 
sent to the Hillcrest Juvenile Hall for ob- 
servation. Although she expressed a desire 
to return to the McGuire home, she 
agreed to go to the Napa State Hospital 
Children's Clinic for further observation 
and assistance.

Meanwhile Herbert had become in- 
creasingly bitter toward the McGuires 
and had frequently demanded that the 
child be returned to him. 

"In view of the child's problems, past 
and present, we have refused his request," 
the juvenile court stated flatly. 

Herbert's resentment toward the Mc- 
Guires increased. Frequently during the 
early months of 1953 he accused them of 
injuring his daughter. Mrs. McGuire's 
protests that the treatment was for the 
child's own good and that she would re- 
turn to the McGuire home when her 
problems were solved only served to fur- 
ther enrage the man. Several times, be- 
fore that fatal June morning, he had 
threatened violence. 

"I wanted to call the authorities," 
McGuire explained. "Marybelle would 
not hear of it. She was the type of person 
who trusted and forgave everybody. This 
is her payment for that," he concluded 
bitterly. 

Seelv told him of the ransacked room 
upstairs. "Was that the little girl's 
room?" he inquired. 
McGuire nodded. 

"That makes Herbert our top sus- 
pect," Fernandez declared. "We had bet- 
ter get out a pickup order right away. " 
An all points bulletin was placed on 
both the teletype and police radio request- 
ing that Herbert be held for questioning. 
Five states were warned to be on the 
lookout for the suspected killer. 

Meanwhile autopsy surgeon Dr. Ar- 
thur Lack reported that Mrs. McGuire 
died of severe internal bleeding within 
a few minutes after the shooting. The 
bullet which caused death ripped through 
her abdomen and pierced her liver. A 
second bullet had grazed her neck and 
ricocheted around the room, and the 
third bullet missed entirely. All three 
bullets were turned over to ballistics 
experts for testing. 

June third and fourth passed with offi- 
cers in five states searching futilely for 
Herbert. No further developments were 
turned up in San Carlos. On June fifth 
the break came. 

Sergeant George Sewards of the Los 
Angeles County Sheriff's office was wear- 
ily winding up his shift when the be- 
spectacled, little man walked into the 
Firestone substation and asked to see 
I)eput\' Sheriff Ernest Foster. 

"He's not here," Sewards reported. 
"He'll be in at nine o'clock. Do you 
want to wait?" 

The visitor wavered, then shook his 
head. "No. I just thought I'd say hello." 
"Who shall I tell him called?"

"Ne\er mind. It doesn't matter." The 
visitor turned and walked out. He was 
hardh' through the door when Sewards 
did a quick double take. He dashed out. 
The visitor was just a few feet away, 
about to step into his parked car. 

"Wait a minute," Sewards ordered. 

"\\'hat for?" the man asked. 

"''l ou're wanted for murder, that's 
what for." Sewards told him. "Come on 
into the station." 

Arthur Herbert docilely followed the 
sergeant into the station. During a sub- 
sequent search Sewards produced a for- 
eign make twenty-two caliber automatic 
from Herbert's coat pocket. 

The bullets and shell cases recovered 
from the murder scene were forwarded 
to Los Angeles by plane and Sheriff's 
ballistics expert George Lucy identified 
them as having come from Herbert's 
gun. 

Under questioning by Los Angeles 
Deputy Sheriff Floyd Rosenberg Her- 
bert refused to discuss the shooting, stat- 
ing only that he had been in the bay area 
on the preceding Sunday or Monday, 
rented a room and got drunk. He said 
he might have been in San Mateo, but 
couldn't be sure. 

Fhe suspect told a \ague story of 
driving to Napa to visit his daughter 
and said, "When I saw m\' girl I blowed 
my top." 

Rosenberg also discovered that Her- 
bert had been arraigned the preceding 
1 hursday on a bigamy charge. Herbert 
claimed to ha\e forgotten a Carson Cit\', 
Ne\ada, marriage following the apart- 
ment explosion. 

A. L. Lamport, chief investigator for 
the San Mateo County District Attor- 
ney's office flew to Los Angeles with 
Chief Seely to question the suspect. After 
talking to him and examining the evi- 
dence Lamport declared that he was con- 
\inced of Herbert's guilt. 

"His story is full of holes," Lamport 
reported. "He has no alibi and the gun 
is the clinching evidence. He can't get 
around those matching bullets." 

Herbert was charged with the murder 
of Mrs. Marybelle McGuire and found 
guilt) by a San Mateo County jury. He 
is serving a life sentence now.

SPEAKING OF POLICEMEN 

To speak intelligently of a police offi- 
cer, as such, we must first consider what 
is expected of him. 

Well, like a ball player, he must be a 
man of correct and hasty thought and 
action, for his errors are charged against 
him — and may even prove fatal. 

He must be a man of tact and diplo- 
macy, one who can assert authority with 
poise, dignity, and a sense of justice. 

Like an actor on the stage, he must 
be able to step into any situation, and, 
by his personality, assume entire com- 
mand. 

By his every act he must be able to 
bring about in the general public a feel- 
ing of respect for his department ; and 
personally be looked up to as a guardian 
of the peace, and a protector of the lives, 
homes, and property of decent people. 

On battle fronts courage is a must ; 
but retreat is sometimes commendable. 
The creed of the police officer is differ- 
ent ; for him there is no retreat — he must 
get his man. 

I have just finished reading a most in- 
teresting article on the police officer as a 
man, a unit, an individual. 

The writer took each letter of the al- 
phabet, in order for the twenty-six para- 
graphs of his summary on the required 
qualifications of a worthwhile police offi- 
cer. 

With the letter A he set down "alert," 
with a short explanation. Then followed 
B, for "bravery," C, for "caution," D, 
for "decision", and so on, down to Z, for 
"zeal." 

I read the piece a couple of times, and 
felt, as I have on many occasions, that 
none of us humans are pioneers with an 
idea. Yes, that man took the words right 
out of my mouth — words that I could 
have heartedly uttered so many times 
since fate has had me work side by side 
with police officers. 

Day in and day out, for many years, 
I have had a ringside seat on police offi- 
cers at work, in every phase of their 
never ending routine. I have watched 
their efforts, and learned the underlying 
reasons of their successes as well as their 
truly heartbreaking failures. 

I have come to definitely realize that 
the man wearing a police star is just a 
lone individual, sailing a more or less 
treacherous course, from the moment he 
takes the oath of office. 

The police rookie must definitely be 
the man for the job. To state the case 
bluntly, I admit I thoroughly agree with 
my colleagues, whom I have heard say 
so in so many different words: A police 
department should be hard to join and 
mighty easy to leave.

The police officer is a man whose occu- 
pation is most difficult to define. 

He is thought of as one of a group; 
but he isn't — not as a mechanic or a 
longshoreman, a letter carrier, a sailor 
or a soldier are correctly considered. 
These groups have definite, supervised 
duties to perform, but the police officer 
stands at the bat to take the pitches as 
they come. 

On duty — and oH duty — he is defi- 
nitely on his own. Yes, he is a one-man 
army, with no reserves and no place to 
retreat to. 

The uniform does not make the police 
officer even though he secures it through 
civil service rating or otherwise. If he is 
a misfit police officer he is a most expen- 
sive civic nuisance. 

A police officer is always on parade — 
casual scrutiny by juveniles and voters 
a never ending object of much more than 
alike. Even his home life is much more 
a matter of check and double check, and 
gossip and more gossip, than that of the 
butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker, 
or even the mayor. 

People know all about his social con- 
nections and can name his relatives, his 
doctor and his grocer. They also know 
his hobbies and how much he owes on his 
house and his car. 

So, being, as it were, a marked man, 
he must indeed be a sterling citizen to be 
able to play the part of The Village 
Blacksmith, and — "look the whole world 
in the face and fear not any man." 

How can such a man be secured for 
a police department ? 

The problem is not at all simple. It 
demands time and care on the part of 
the selectors. They must first look 
thoroughly into each applicant's record. 
Of course, they must realize that a police 
officer need not be a superman. But they 
must not for a moment lose track of the 
fact that it takes a lot of worthwhile 
consideration to have the proper man fill 
a police uniform. 

Physical and mental standards of a 
high grade are very desirable of course, 
but the problem for the small group of 
selectors is to find the man, the personal- 
ity for the job. 

Police service is rendered by individual 
policement on a person-to-person basis, 
thus the quality of service is determined 
by the individual men who provide it. A 
police officer lacking in personal quali- 
fications is certain to give poor service 
and bring criticism and possible discredit 
on the entire department. 

High standards of physical and aca- 
demic and technical ratings, as deter- 
mined by civil service examiners, rate

about equal and first in the selection of 
rookie policemen. 

The rookie gets a uniform. But, has 
this man inside the uniform the heart to 
go with it ? That is the great problem 
the civil service tests leave unsolved. 

There is always a way to solve human 
problems when we apply common sense. 

For our bird dogs, our race horses, and 
our live stock we carefully consider pedi- 
gree as well as present appearance. The 
burning eloquence of our daughter, or 
the best presentment of an automobile 
salesman, will not quickly sway us in the 
acceptance of a prospective son-in-law or 
a marvelous looking used car. In such in- 
stances we do make haste slowly. 

The would-be rookie wants a uniform. 
Naturally, he has already found he has 
the physical qualifications ; and has also 
done some special preparation to insure 
his acceptance. 

The prime duty of the police head 
is now to get personally acquainted with 
his prospective employee — to meet him 
face-to-face, for a brief interview. This 
interview he will conclude by handing 
the applicant a long list of questions to 
be carefully answered at home and then 
mailed to the police head. 

An application blank such as is used 
by the larger public utility corporations 
will serve as a model for this question- 
naire. Of course, many additional ques- 
tions could be added, such as: 

1. Schools attended — dates to be given, 
also names of teachers and reasons for 
leaving school ; 

2. Jobs held — dates to be given, also 
names of employers, and reasons for 
quitting or being dismissed ; 

3. U. S. Service — why, also account 
for court martial or reduction in rank ; 

4. Arrests — number of, and charges ; 

5. Divorced — why, and if paying ali- 
mony, or if taking care of parents or 
others ; 

6. Financial standing — paying on 
home, automobile or furniture, or out- 
standing debts ; 

7. Why applying for position as a 
police officer? 

Some people are adept at filling out 
such sets of questions. But, sometimes 
they prove to have very poor memories, 
and sometimes they are very careless in- 
deed as to the correctness of their answers. 

I'he returned questionnaire will give 
an excellent chance for some close check- 
ing. Through a careful perusal of it by 
you and each of the three or four citizens 
comprising your appraisement hoard ad- 
vance skeleton knowledge of the efforts 
of the candidate since he left school will 
be available.

Across the table from you and your 
selected friends you may suddenly find a 
candidate who has mailed you a complete 
questionnaire that is loaded with misin- 
formation. 

You may also run across a shallow 
bluffer, who, no matter how whimsical 
or ponderous a question you may put to 
him, will become more and more wordy, 
but will definitely refrain from just re- 
plying: "I don't know," or "I can't an- 
swer that question." 

By this face-to-face, orderly meeting 
of the candidate, your appraisement 
board can judge each man from the 
standpoint of critical employers-to-be, as 
to: 

1. His physical appearance, which 
though of no consequence in many lines 
of endeavor, is important in the case of 
a police officer. 

2. His speaking behavior, which really 
is of prime importance in police work be- 
cause of the fact that it entails such con- 
stant verbal contacts with all classes, 
both in and out of court ; 

3 His personal history, both in and 
out of school, and in U. S. Service, or 
business jobs, also his arrests, his marital 
and financial status, his lodge connec- 
tions and his hobbies ; 

4. His aims and reasons for becoming 
a police officer. This will permit of many 
questions from the board concerning 
good jobs he may have had or business 
opportunities he may have passed up, 
when his academic or technical attain- 
ments are considered ; 

1 he man who lied in his written an- 
swers will need to bluster and bluff. The 
man whose active history shows he drift- 
ed from one job to another will have to 
be quite persuasive to prove his stability; 
and the candidate who has had school, 
marital, occupational, financial, U. S. or 
police troubles will certainly have to be 
a good attorney in his own defense to 
clear himself before the board. Yes, this 
face-to-face meeting is bad indeed for 
eager beavers and that large percentage 
of peppy, self confident drifters of whom 
it may be truly said: They labor not, 
neither do they spin. 

It is gratifying to think that finding 
good material for a police department is 
not at all impossible after the civil serv- 
ice people have done their screening. The 
police head and his supervisory aides can, 
with no great difficulty, do at least a 
ninety per cent perfect job of final screen- 
ing. Out of a group, soberly interviewed, 
will be selected and hired one or more 
normal and natural citizens who have 
steadily sailed on an even keel — men 
who, from their youth up, have shown 
that grand stability that comes from head 
and heart.

S. F. SACRILEGE 

(Continued from page 3 ) 

From his quarters in the adjoining 
building Father Orestes Trinchieri ran 
at the head of his little group of Salesian 
Fathers toward the church which was 
his charge. They were the first to reach 
the large hole which had been blown in 
the pavement at the rear of the church. 
The building itself appeared to be un- 
damaged. The priests were making an in- 
spection tour of the premises when the 
police arrived. Father Trinchieri greeted 
their questions with a bewildered shrug. 

"How can I tell what happened?" he 
asked. "What kind of man would try to 
destroy the house of God ?" 

News of the bombing was the top 
story for the San Francisco newspapers 
the following morning and it sta\ed on 
page one of the city newspapers for days 
to come. 1 he attempted bombing of any 
church would have been enough to arouse 
the ire of the city by the Golden Gate, 
but none so much as the attempt to de- 
stroy the building which watches over 
Columbus Square. 

St. Peter and Paul's Church is more 
than just another place of worship to San 
Francisco. It is a matter of civic pride. 
1 he huge church, with its towering twin 
spires that pierce the northern edges of 
the city's skyline, was almost new at the 
time and considered the most beautiful 
building of its kind west of Chicago. 
Every San Franciscan, regardless of re- 
ligion or creed, was proud of the struc- 
ture. The demand for the capture of the 
bomber was instantaneous. But the inves- 
tigation directed by Captain of Detective 
Duncan Matheson and Detective Ser- 
geant Louis DeAIattei of the San Fran- 
cisco Police Department ran up a series 
of blind alleys. Lead after lead was ex- 
plored and found wanting. Investigation 
of alleged members of the infamous Black 
Hand and Mafia societies led nowhere. 
Phony tips wasted days of checking. 
Then during the small hours of May 
•^th, the bomber struck again. 

At 3 :26 a.m. a bomb, infinitely more 
powerful than the first one, was set off 
in the marble vestibule at the entrance 
of the church, shattering several large 
stained glass windows within the build- 
ing, damaging the huge, twelve foot por- 
tals leading to the chvirch proper,' and 
breaking windows throughout the North 
Beach. 

For the ensuing hours terror ruled in 
San Francisco's Italian colony. Himdreds 
of the area's residents clad in nightshirts, 
pajamas and bath robes tumbled out to 
the streets and refused to reenter their 
homes for fear of another explosion.

Harried policemen from all over the 
city ru.shed to the scene. DeMattei ar- 
rived and found little more evidence than 
the first e.xplosion had produced. The 
bomb, apparently consisting of dynamite 
sticks, had been bound together with 
wire and placed in a corner where the 
front steps and doors joined. A heavy 
woven steel and rubber mat had been 
thrown over it. 

A few strands of wire and the disin- 
tegrated remains of dynamite sticks were 
all in the way of clues DeMattei had to 
work with. A door to door canvass of the 
area produced a lot of theories but no re- 
sults. Father Trinchieri and his Salesian 
Fathers worked tirelessly in an attempt 
to assist the iinestigation, but without 
visible results. Days merged into weeks 
and weeks into months while the investi- 
gation bogged down. 

October came. The bombings of St. 
Peter and Paul's Church were all but 
forgotten by everyone except the police 
working on the case and Father 1 rin- 
chieri and his Salesian Fathers. Hallo- 
ween approached. Grinning, snag toothed 
pumpkins leared from their window 
ledges. School children planned pranks 
to be played on the evening preceding 
All Saints Day. But the most monstrous 
prank of all was scheduled to be played 
two days before the night when witches 
ride. 

Sunday, October 29, 5:15 a.m. Ihe 
eternal fog lay heavy over the North 
Beach, dripping moistly on gleaming 
streets. A solitary figure moved through 
the sleeping city toward the church by 
Columbus Square. He deposited his pack- 
age carefully in the marble vestibule, 
touched a match to it, waited for a mo- 
ment to be sure the fuse burned brightly, 
then darted of? at top speed into the 
gloom. There was need to run. The 
bomb which exploded that morning was 
not soon forgotten by San Francisco. 

The blast which followed the bomber's 
departure from the church was heard 
throughout the city. Its effects in the 
North Beach were devastating. Three at- 
tendants asleep within the church were 
tossed rudely from their beds. Six priests 
quartered in the adjoining rectory joined 
them on the floor. The marble \estibule 
crumbled and the huge doors were ripped 
from their hinges and crashed to the 
floor. 

Chaos reigned on the North Beach. In 
addition to the priests scores of persons 
living near the church were thrown from 
their beds. Hundreds of windows were 
shattered. The cry of "Earthquake" was 
heard as the nightshirted residents pour- 
ed out into the open.

The damage to the church was tre- 
mendous. Stained glass windows burst 
from their sashes and crashed to the pave- 
ment. Father Trinchieri and his priests 
moved through a dust storm of powdered 
plaster toward the center of the explo- 
sion. Police from all over the city hurried 
to the North Beach to restore order. And 
when Louis DeMattei arrived on the 
scene not a shred of evidence remained. 
Th explosion had destroyed all traces of 
the bomb. 

Fortunately no one was seriously in- 
jured by the blast. Captain Matheson 
was convinced that a fourth bombing 
would be almost sure to be fatal to some- 
one, however. Each bomb had been more 
powerful than the last. He believed a 
fourth attempt to destroy the church 
might send the entire building crumbling 
to the pavement. He called Detective 
DeMattei into his office and asked for 
a report on the investigation. 

DeMattei explained that every possi- 
ble angle had been explored. He de- 
clared that the Mafia and Cammorra 
societies, then at the peak of their power, 
had been investigated to the best of his 
abilities and found innocent. 

"The Mafia works for a profit," he 
explained. "There is no profit in destroy- 
ing a church." 

"How do you suggest we prevent this 
from happening again?" Matheson in- 
quired. 

"We set a trap," DeMattei replied 
promptly. "It's the only answer." 

With the help of Father Trinchieri 
and Corporal Larry Mclnerny, a little 
Irish policeman who knew the beach al- 
most as well as DeMattei, who had been 
raised there, the detective laid his snare. 

Father Trinchieri took DeMattei 
through the church, pointing out the 
damaged areas and suggesting possible 
hiding places for policemen. The detec- 
tive was amazed by the priest's fortitude. 
For years he knew the Salesian Father 
had combatted the actitvies of the Mafia 
and Cammorra fearlessly and tirelessly. 
Now, faced with a new enemy, he work- 
ed long hours with the policeman while 
at the same time pacifying and soothing 
his terror stricken flock of parishioners. 

DeMattei's task was no simple one. 
The park in Columbus Square made the 
problem of laying an effective ambush 
doubly tough. Without buildings to hide 
his men in across the street he was forced 
to improvise a method of watching the 
street from adjoining buildings without 
having the watcher seen. 

To do this he placed a mirror on a 
door leading to a front balcony in a man-

ner that anyone approaching from the 
east could be observed. It took many 
hours to place the window in such a way 
that the reflection from the street lights 
would not show and make it visible to 
the street. 

The building on the east side of the 
church was an apartment house with 
front windows which projected several 
feet over the sidewalk. DeMattei was 
given permission by the persons renting 
the apartment to use the rooms contain- 
ing the windows for observation to the 
west. 

Next the detective called in a city 
electrician who installed an elaborate 
system of wiring which covered every 
vantage point in the building with sig- 
nals. Bell signals were installed in the 
apartment house and the whole setup 
was connected to the rectory by an inter- 
communication system. 

The toughest problem facijig De- 
Mattei was how to arrange the entry. 
The vestibule, twenty feet square, led 
directly from the broad steps in front of 
the church to the massive doors. The 
doors, being solid, were useless because 
there was no visibility for guards. 

Two stained glass windows which 
stood about twelve feet up on each side 
of the portal provided the solution. De- 
Mattei ordered them removed and re- 
placed with carefully colored isinglass. 
The windows were directly over the con- 
fessionals within the church. Heavy 
planks were placed across the tops of the 
booths and two watchers, armed with 
shotguns, were placed at each window 
for man\' nights to come. 

Because the lookouts at the fake win- 
dows had their visibility limited by the 
vestibule it was necessary to arrange a 
system which would make it posible to 
notify the officers of the approach of any 
suspicious characters. A muflled telephone 
was placed by each window. 

Another man, equipped with telephone 
and buzzer signals, was stationed at a 
rear portal where he could watch an alle\ 
at the back of the building. As an added 
precaution DeMattei rented an apart- 
ment which faced on the alley. 

Absolute secrecy was maintained while 
the trap was prepared. The officers often 
interrupted their work for hours while a 
religious ceremony was held in the 
church. Meanwhile, a squad of picked 
detectives combed the area in search of 
the bomber. Suspect after suspect was 
hauled to the Hall of Justice, grilled and 
released. A uniformed officer was sta- 
tioned in front of the church at all times 
for the purpose of frightening off the 
bomber in case he attempted to act before

the net was thoroughly woven. Then the 
day came when the newspapers announc- 
ed that the police guard had been with- 
drawn from St. Peter and Paul's Church. 
Chief of Police Daniel O'Brien announc- 
ed that the department had decided no 
further bombings would take place. 

In spite of all precautions a fourth 
attempt was made to bomb the church 
before the trap was complete. At 5 :30 
on the morning of January 9th an auto- 
mobile came down the street and paused 
long enough for a man to descend, throw 
a bomb against the wall, dart back into 
the car, and speed away. Officer Edward 
Moran, who was guarding the church at 
the time, emptied his gun at the fleeing 
car but was unable to hit it or secure the 
license number. Shortly after that the 
trap was ready. 

Night after night the picked squad 
traveled to the church. Every device was 
used to avoid tipping the bomber off to 
the ambush. The detectives arrived carry- 
ing laundry and food baskets. Some were 
dressed as women and others as workmen. 
I he most elaborate stakeout in the his- 
tory of San Francisco was in operation. 

Two months passed and nothing hap- 
pened. DeMattei and Matheson won- 
dered if the bomber had actually given 
up. Then, on the morning of March 5th, 
the two strangers met in front of the 
church and one laid his lethal package 
on the doorstep. He lit the fuse and turn- 
ed to run when Mclnerny challenged 
him. The final dramatic chapter was 
about to be enacted. 

Detective DeMattei, sitting at his 
vantage point by the apartment window, 
had been uneasy that night. For two 
hours he had watched a drunk stagger 
around Columbus Square. The detective 
wondered whether he was actually drunk 
or just casing the church. Finally he left 
abruptly, but DeMattei could not get him 
off his mind. His hunch was right. The 
officer recognized the drunk immediately 
when he returned with his package. 

The bomber's drawn gun and the 
burning fuse did not give Corporal Mc- 
lnerny any choice. He fired immediately 
and the bomber turned, staggering toward 
the street. The throaty roar of a sawed- 
off shotgun in the hands of Patrolman 
D. A. Kauffman ended the argument. 
I he bomber died instantly, but the fuse 
burned on. Only a few seconds separated 
Mclnerny and his companions from be- 
ing blown to eternity. They watched, 
helpless and horrified, while the sputter- 
ing snake grew shorter. 

One of the massive doors swung open. 
Patrolman J. C. Gremminger dashed

into the vestibule, knife drawn. For a 
moment he hesitated, getting his bear- 
ings. Then he spotted the now short fuse 
and moved toward it. The sizzling ser- 
pent was inches long when he severed it. 
The danger was over, but not the shoot- 
ing. 

At the sound of the first shot DeMat- 
tei, shotgun in hand, had sprinted into 
the street. He arrived in time to see the 
second man running toward the park 
shrubbery. The detective ordered him to 
halt. The man ran faster. 

"Stop!" DeMattei shouted a second 
time. "This is the police." 

The man ran on. De Mattei fired when 
he saw the fugitive reach into his breast 
pocket. The buckshot caught him in the 
hip and he fell, shouting, "God save me. 
I have the Bible!" He was telling the 
truth. DeMattei found the Bible in his 
breast pocket. 

The bombings ended that morning of 
March 5, 1927, but the mystery has lived 
with San Francisco ever since. Although 
descriptions of the dead man were sent 
all over the United States and the affair 
received nationwide publicity, the bomb- 
er was never identified. The second man 
flatly refused to talk. He declared that 
he was innocent and knew nothing of the 
bomber or bombings. Several months 
after the shooting he died in the San 
Francisco hospital as the result of an op- 
eration on his injured hip. If he knew 
the bomber's name he took it with him 
in death. 

The last bomb had been big enough to 
destroy the church entirely. It consisted 
of twenty-six sticks of dynamite, each one 
wrapped in moulder's clay to add force 
to the explosion. The fuse was attached 
to a fulminate of mercury cap on the 
center stick. Experts declared it would 
have leveled the church and killed many 
people in the immediate neighborhood. 

A thousand dollar reward offered by 
Father Trinchieri for the capture of the 
bomber was refused by the officers and 
returned to the Salesian Fathers to be 
used for charity. And today, more than 
a quarter of a century after the persist- 
ent attempt to destroy the building, St. 
Peter and Paul's Church stands across 
from Columbus Square, still the domi- 
nant structure on the North Beach sky- 
line.

PIONEERS OF SCIENCE 

(Conclusion) 
By B. C. Bridges 

The oldest recorded identification bu- 
reau in Switzerland is located at Geneva, 
although others were set up subsequently 
at Aarau, Basel, Lucerne, Zurich and 
Berne, which latter place was finally se- 
lected as the National Registry. Anthro- 
pometry was used as early as 1891, but, 
in 1902, fingerprinting was introduced at 
Geneva, where the only impressions at 
first taken were those of the right thumb, 
index, middle and ring fingers, and the 
thumb and index digits of the left hand. 
The procedure was patterned after the 
Paris methods. Nevertheless, this was 
later superseded by the recording of all 
ten fingers, which were then classified 
and filed according to pattern designs. 

Anthropometry was instituted in Spain 
by royal decree on September 10, 1896, 
and measuring equipment was placed in 
seven of the principal prisons under su- 
pervision of Dr. H. Simancas. A few- 
years' trial of this system disclosed it to 
be untrustworthy; accumulative error 
rendered the files practically useless, and 
three of the original bureaus ceased to 
function. Official recognition of these 
inefficient conditions resulted in orders 
for reorganization, which were issued 
February 28, 1901, and F. Oloriz Aqui- 
lera, professor of anatomy at Madrid, 
was appointed as supervisor. Registration 
by fingerprints was sponsored by this 
authority, who compiled yet another 
classifying and filing technique which he 
named the "Oloriz System," but this he 
later discarded in favor of the more in- 
clusive employment of the Vucetich 
method. 

Along with his other contributions to 
fingerprint innovations, Oloriz Aquilera 
taught his subordinates to classify the 
digital patterns by direct examination of 
the subject's hands, rather than by read- 
ing the same prints on a registration card. 
This was a recognition of the methods 
employed by the primeval savage, who 
knew his "public enemies" through their 
earth-recorded skin designs. It is indeed 
comforting to recognize that this in- 
volved inconsistency, arbitrarily termed 
"civilization," occasionally nourishes a 
mentality with enough perception to ap- 
preciate such sterling utilities. 

In 1910, the capable Aquilera pre- 
pared for his officers a manual on crimi- 
nal identification in which were furnish- 
ed detailed descriptions of many known 
offenders, together with the code formu- 
las for their fingerprints. Thus, twen- 
tieth-centur\' Madrid police officers were 
equipped with information enabling them

For some years, the civil police depart- 
ment of Constantinople maintained an 
identification bureau copied after the 
French ; but here too the tide of popular 
opinion swept anthropometry into the 
discard, and a fingerprint bureau, pat- 
tern after the German technique, became 
a central office for the entire Ottoman 
Empire. As explained, the German classi- 
fication and filing procedure utilized the 
Galton-Henry advocation, modified by 
Windt and Kodicek.

At this time, fingerprint registration, 
with few exceptions, was decentralized 
in European territory. However, Buda- 
pest, the first continental city to utilize 
the unmodified Galton-Henry system, 
achieved an interchange program of 
registration that was both novel and ef- 
fective. On October 15, 1908, an order 
of the Minister of Justice created the 
"Royal Central Registry Office of Hun- 
gary," which came into actual existence 
a few months later. Thereafter, active 
exchange of data was practised between 
representative cities, and criminal court 
procedure required that fingerprints be 
furnished with records of the defendants 
sent to the criminal registry. In connec- 
tion with the central office, there was 
also maintained a complete technical 
laboratory to deal with such evidential 
impressions as might be found at a crime 
locale ; this valuable service was available 
to the whole country. 

Modern fingerprint methods were em- 
ployed in Egypt during the year 1902. 
and descendants of the mighty pharaohs 
again used a facility which had well 
served their ancient progenitors. It is in- 
teresting to observe that the latter-day

practice included civil registration of in- 
dustrial as well as municipal employees. 
A similar enactment of non-criminal 
fingerprint law was made in the 1 rans- 
vaal on January 1, 1908, where widely- 
inclusive civilian fingerprinting was made 
legally imperative. 

As already indicated in connection 
with the famous South American crimi- 
nologist, Juan Vucetich, fingerprinting 
was well established in the Argentine at 
an early date, this being one of the first 
countries to employ it. Succeeding de- 
velopment and expansion included the ex- 
tensive registration of civic retainers and 
others engaged in public service, as well 
as of domestics. Descriptive information 
for passports also included fingerprints. 
Through Vucetich's example in the Ar- 
gentine, other South American states fol- 
lowed with the installation of similar 
programs, and, on October 20, 1905, an 
agreement was formed among Argen- 
tine, Chili, Uruguay and Brazil, whereby 
all of these were included in the scope 
of fingerprint registration, and provision 
was made for an exchange of photographs 
and records of outstanding offenders, and 
unidentified casualties. 

Personal identification, of a sort, came 
into being in Me.xico, with a bureau of 
anthropometry was set up at the Belem 
Prison on September 1, 1895, by Dr. Ig- 
nacio Ocampo, the movement having 
been furthered some years previously by 
Fernandez Ortigosa. But, like all other 
trials of body-measurement systems, this 
also finally was discarded, and it is a 
significant circumstance that within re- 
cent years, national registration has made 
mandatory the fingerprinting of every 
man, woman and child within the bound- 
aries of Mexican territory. 

In French Indo-China, fingerprinting 
was selected to replace anthropometry, 
which had been adopted in 1879 and 
employed at Saigon. Another original 
technique in fingerprint classification was 
compiled here by M. Pottecher, although 
the advocation enjoyed no great popu- 
larity elsewhere. In the Straits Settle- 
ments and the Malay States of Penang 
and Singapore, fingerprinting attained 
high success; record-exchange data were 
received from the United IVIalay States, 
from Malacca, and from Jahore. In the 
adjacent Philippines, fingerprints came 
into commercial recognition and usage, 
even in banking. 

In Australia, as might be expected, the 
Galton-Henry application attained popu- 
larity coincidental with its rise in other 
British possessions; Sydney was selected 
as the Continental Bureau, and an active 
exchange of records continued with 
Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne 
and other important centers.

RESEARCH GRANT 

The Traffic Institute of Northwestern 
University has received a $10,000 grant 
from the Allstate Insurance Company to 
conduct research and development work 
in the street and highway traffic field, 
according to Franklin M. Kreml, Insti- 
tute director. 

This is the second year the funds ha\e 
been granted. Last year $5,000 was allo- 
cated to the Traffic Institute by Allstate. 

In connection with the granting of the 
funds, Calvin Fentress, Jr., president of 
Allstate said : 

"This year our company has substan- 
tially enlarged the grant made to the 
Traffic Institute because of our high re- 
gard for the IVaffic Institute's program. 

"We are pleased to make this contri- 
bution to the splendid work that is being 
done to help public officials meet their 
responsibilities in traffic supervision and 
accident prevention." 

The Allstate funds, Mr. Kreml said, 
will be used to further that phase of the 
Institute's program directed by James 
Stannard Baker, director of research and 
development. 

Institute activities cover a broad pro- 
gram of traffic training, field and exten- 
sion service, publications, research and 
development. 

Principal financial supporters of the 
Institute, which was established in 193b, 
are the Automotive Safety Foundation, 
the Kemper Foundation for Fraffic Safe- 
ty, the Association of Casualty and Sure- 
ty Companies, the National Asociation of 
Automotive Mutual Insurance Com- 
panies, and the Liberty Mutual Insur- 
ance Company. Contract work is done 
for the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads, 
the American Association of Motor Ve- 
hicle Administrators, the \J . S. Army, 
and the U. S. Air Force. 



WATER HEATERS 

Don't get into hot water over your 
automobile's heater. Proper installation 
of an automobile hot water heater is 
essential if maximum efficiency is to be 
obtained, the California State Automo- 
bile Association advises. This type of 
heater should be installed so that the 
water in the heater will be at least two 
inches below the water level of the car 
radiator, and lower if possible. 



WORSHIP OF KATCHINAS 

Fhe Pueblo of Zuni, located in west- 
ern New Mexico, is reported by the Na- 
tional Automobile Club to have a form 
of worship centered on many gods that 
are called Katchinas.

INSPECTORS' BUREAU 

Beyond the city limits of San Jose lie 
the duties and problems of the Santa 
Clara County Sheriff's Department. Be- 
hind the routine duties of the deputy 
sheriff's lies the nucleus of the entire 
department — the Bureau of Inspectors. 
This bureau handles everything from 
homicide to e.xposition of bunco games, 
through the us eof specialist teams. 

The specialist team is composed of two 
men highly trained in one particular field 
of investigation. These teams are put 
into action the moment an act is reported. 
The initial investigation is generally han- 
dled by the uniform patrol and then the 
specialist teams are dispatched by the 
captain of the Bureau of Inspectors. 

Santa Clara County Sheriff's Bureau 
of Inspectors has four outstanding Spe- 
cialist teams. Due to the greater fre- 
quency of burglary and petty thefts two 
teams, well trained in this field, are 
necessary. Homicide, armed robbery and 
assault with a deadly weapon are han- 
dled by another team and forgeries, 
grand-theft, sex and bunco rackets are 
handled by still a different team. 

The inspectors bureau now has a per- 
sonnel of twenty-eight, this is quite an in- 
crease over the four investigators used a 
few years back. Expansion in the depart- 
ment has been constant with the in- 
creased housing and families coming into 
the area. The department's teletype let- 
ters are now received on a twenty-four 
hour basis. (This is a state wide service. ) 
Also, there has been an addition of a 
Juvenile Department to increase the bu- 
reau's efficiency in handling any type of 
case. AVorking directly under the Cap- 
tain of the Inspector's Bureau are two in- 
spectors and a police woman, all well 
trained in handling juvenile problems. 

One man who has watched the con- 
tinual growth of the Bureau is the cap- 
tain of the inspectors, James Cunning- 
ham. Captain Cunningham was born in 
the Evergreen District of San Jose No- 
vember 7, 1902. His school education 
was not fancy — he was unable to attend 
college because of a necessity to work. 
He entered the San Jose Police Depart- 
ment in 1924 and absorbed sound educa- 
tion in police procedure and techniques 
during his ten years in the city depart- 
ment. He then spent two years in busi- 
ness and again returned to police work. 
However, this time he entered the 
sheriff's department where he has re- 
mained for over fifteen years. 

Upon entering the Sheriff's Depart- 
ment James was introduced to the opera- 
tion of the teletype machine and for six 
vears he held this duty. He continued to

study and absorb during this period and 
was later promoted to a senior deputy in 
investigation, then to inspector and final- 
ly to his present position as Captain of 
the entire Inspector's Bureau. 

Captain Cunningham is a friendly 
well spoken man and well educated in 
his specializ.ed field of investigation. In 
his twenty-five years of police work I 
felt that Captain Cunningham must have 
had some very unusual experiences. 

When talking with the Captain I ask- 
ed if he could relate any outstanding per- 
sonal e.xperience but I found him to be 
a modest man relating only experiences 
of the men in his department. 

Later when talking to, one of the in- 
spectors, I was told of the time that Cap- 
tain Cunningham arrested a bank robber 
less than fourteen minutes following the 
actual robbery. The bank was the Bev- 
erly Burbank Branch of the First Na- 
tional which had been held up by John 
Franz. As the inspector explained, Cun- 
ningham had a description of the bank 
robber and his car. As he was driving 
North he recognized the robbery suspect 
speeding in the opposite direction. He 
immediately made a "U" turn, caught 
the car and apprehended Franz. 

Such an arrest would require an ever 
alert eye and constant presence of mind. 
I am confident that this particular inci- 
dent, great or small, in a large measure 
shows the caliber of men we have direct- 
ing our local police departments. Men 
like Sheriff Hornbuckle, Chief Black- 
more and Captain Cunningham make 
our cities and counties ever increasingly 
safe. 



LICENSE SUSPENSION 

California residents involved in serious 
violations of motor vehicle laws in an- 
other state may have their driver's license 
suspended or revoked in this state under 
the provision of a new law, the Califor- 
nia State Automobile Association warns. 

At the discretion of the Department 
of Motor Vehicles, the driver's license 
of a resident of California may be sus- 
pended or revoked if that person is guilty 
of certain offenses in another state which, 
had they been convicted of the same of- 
fenses in this state, would have resulted 
in the loss of the license here. 

The CSAA further points out that an- 
other new law requires suspension of the 
driving privileges of any resident of Cali- 
fornia upon receipt of a report by the 
Motor Vehicle Department that his or 
her driving privileges has been suspended 
in another state for failure to meet the 
financial security provisions of that state, 
if such failure would compel suspension 
here.

FIRST LIE DETECTOR 

The world's first lie detector can be 
seen at \Vashington State college. 

It is an odd combination of bolts and 
belts that the inventor, John Larson, first 
used in solving a series of thefts in a girls' 
dormitory back in the year 1921. Detec- 
tives had been stimiped by the robberies 
in this dormitory on the University of 
California campus. Larson, a pre-med 
student, with police permission, adminis- 
tered the test to the girls living in the 
dormitory, and, within an hour, with the 
machine's aid, had found the thief. 

Thus, from Larson's polygraph, was 
born the world's first lie detector. Lar- 
son, a friend of Dr. V. A. Leonard's, 
loaned the contraption to the present 
chairman of the department of police 
science and administration. 

At the time Dr. Leonard first knew of 
the machine he was on the Berkeley Cali- 
fornia, police force, which he joined in 
the early twenties. During those years he 
saw lie detecting machines in acting in a 
number of the two thousand criminal 
cases in which it served. 

"This machine helped to give the 
Berkeley police force its reputation as one 
of the finest in the nation" says Dr. 
Leonard, adding: "The polygraph, 
known popularly as the lie detector, soon 
became a necessary part of police equip- 
ment." 

Improvements and stepped up produc- 
tion of lie detectors put the original ma- 
chine out of use in 1930, and it was 
placed in storage. There it remained un- 
til 1944 when Dr. Leonard had it sent 
to ^VSC, thinking of its double-\aIue as 
a collector's item and to aid in student 
study. 

Now, the machine is enclosed in a 6 
foot by 2lA foot glass case and looks 
greatly unlike the modern lie detector. It 
is equipped with two recording needles, 
which are in turn joined by a sensitive 
transmission device so that their writings 
are scratched on a six-inch strip of paper, 
coated with lamp-black. Hooked up to 
the cardiac and pulmonary systems these 
needles record any change in rate of pulse 
and respiration. 

Dr. Leonard says: "Invention and 
ultimate success of the lie detector has 
not only proven many guilty of crimes, 
but in addition it has freed innocent men 
who might have been convicted. It has 
cut the cost of police protection and saved 
hours of investigation. It is but one of 
many instruments the modern law en- 
forcement agency uses." 

Dr. Leonard invites all who arc in- 
terested to see this machine in its quar- 
ters in his office in Morrill hall.

JUDGE AND JURY 

Editor's Note: We will have to con- 
fess. Not too long ago we were employed 
for the purpose of writing a lot of Cali- 
fornia history. A week or so ago we were 
glancing through our notes and decided 
that the problems of law enforcement 
officers in those days would rival those in 
the field today. For instance there was 
the case of California's first lynching. 
This happened in Sacramento early in 
1850. It did actually happen. \Ve cannot 
vouch for the conversation. We just did 
our best to reconstruct it. But the inci- 
dent is true. What would you do with 
this judge and jury ? 

Spring came and expanded streams, 
made fat by the thaw of Sierra snows, 
swallowed rich bars and sent the miners, 
idle and irritable, into the streets of 
Sacramento where the sweaty palm of 
tension prodded their restless souls. 

The saloon they called The Shades 
was a mud -caked tent where argonauts 
stood on the hard packed earth and rest- 
ed^ their elbows on an unfinished plank 
which served well enough as a bar. 

From his post behind the plank, Mark 
Stewart watched his customers warily 
The bar was lined from end to end with 
the rugged blend of raw humanity 
which had drifted west with the talk 
of gold and founded the city by Sutter's 
Fort. Quiet men now. No shouting or 
laughing or talk of home. They ordered 
their drinks in low pitched grunts and 
downed them with the thirsty gulps of 
those who had seen and done too much 
too fast. Strange, somber men whose eyes 
never lifted from the whiskey ringlets 
their glasses made on the board, each one 
pretending the neighbor whose shoulder 
he rubbed was in another plane or an- 
other world. 

One bottle was dry and another near 
empty. The men drank steadily, still 
avoiding each other's gaze with eyes 
which reflected an odd mixture of shame 
and definance. Stewart waited nerviously 
for someone to talk. One word would 
break the tension. 

The right word. But it could not 
come from him. They could not know 
he had been there. Thei,' would resent 
the fact that he had rushed pell mell 
from the fringe of the crowd back to his 
makeshift tavern in time to take advan- 
tage of the rush of business he knew 
was sure to come. 

Still, the silence was getting the best 
of him. A weird silence with a discordant 
rumble in the background, drifting 
toward the river from the east. A rum- 
ble which had been a roar a few minutes 
ago when the crowd had been a mob

these men had led. He could picture them 
lingering now, standing curiously by the 
trunk of the tall oak tree on K Street 
where the body hung, still twitching. 

Stewart could not stand it. He had to 
talk. 

"Nice day," he observed. 

Joe Stephens, the tall young man in 
the center of the bar drained his tumbler 
m one quick gulp and wiped the glisten- 
nig drops from his beard and moustache. 

"Nice day for a hanging," he replied. 

Flecks of grey speckled the beard of 
the man ne.xt to him. He tilted the bot- 
tle and drained its contents into the two 
glasses. Then he lifted his own and 
stared soberly at his companion. 

"You should know, Joe," he declared. 
It was your rope. ' 

The young man's color deepened. 
" 1 hat's not funny, Bartlett. This is a 
bad day for a man to be funny on." 

"I didn't mean it funny. I'm glad you 
had the rope." 

"You sure look like you're glad." 

"Take it easy, boys," Stewart admon- 
ished. "You've had enough excitement 
for one day." 

Stephens drained his glass and stared 

at the bar pensively. "I wish I still had 

the rope." 

"I don't, Joe." A dark, clean shaven 

man wearing a tall beaver hat and bright 

satin vest addressed him. "The devil had 

it coming, didn't he?" 

"I guess he had it coming," Stephens 

answered. "I don't know. I didn't see itl 

All I knou- is that the blacksmith was 

my friend." 

"I saw it all," the dark man assured 

him. "He had it coming all right. 1 was 
standing at the bar in the Mansion 

House when the blacksmith poked his 
head through the door. He never had a 
chance." 

"That's right, Joe," Bartlett chimed 
m. "The poor fellow didn't even get to 
the bar. Got it right through the back 
of the neck." 

The dark man shook his head. "Not 
the back, Bartlet. He didn't get that far. 
The thing had been building up for 
quite a while. Not with the blacksmith, 
but with the gambler. You see, he was 
new in town and 1 guess he figured on 
making a quick killing." 

The dark man paused and riffled a 
stack of gold coins through his fingers 
significantly. "I don't suppose he knew 
there were some pretty good poker play- 
ers here back in the da\s when John 
Sutter was the big cheese out at the Fort 
and we thought all the gold in the coun- 
try was running around on the backs of 
beaver and otter."

"I Still don't get it, Sam," Bartlett

He came out here to a place where a 
man pays five dollars for a bed in a penny 
Hophouse and a dollar for a drink of 
whiskey and he couldn't make it. His 
pile was too small to begin with. And 
his table didn't make a dime all the time 
he was in the Alansion House. When the 
blacksmith poked his head through the 
door he was broke. Dead, flat broke. He 
was so mad he felt like shooting someone, 
so he just shot the first man that talked 
to him." 

"Well, that's murder, isn't it?" some- 
one inquired. 

"Sure, its murder," the dark man told 
him. "It's just like I said. The devil had 
it coming to him. In fact, maybe hanging 
was too good for him." 

"Where did the blacksmith get it?" 
Stephens inquired. 

"In the chest. As close as I could tell 
right through the heart," Sam declared. 

"I heard there was a girl mixed up in 
it," someone said. 

"That little dancing girl over at the 
Stinking Tent. One of the fair but 
frail." 

Once again Sam shook his head. "No. 
it vv'asn't the girl. The gambler wasn't 
in town long enough to get to know a 
girl." 

"Then the blacksmith must have said 
something." 

Sam grinned wryly. "He said some- 
thing all right." 

Stephens poured himself a brimming 
glassful, downed it, then turned to the 
dark man. "^Vhat did he say?" 

"He asked him what time it was." 

"That was all ?" 

"That was all." 

There was a long pause while Stephens 
filled his glass again and held it to the 
light. He drained it with a series of 
shorter sips. AVhen he spoke his voice 
was noticeably thicker. 

"We should have hung the sherifif 
too," he muttered. "He tried to save the 
gambler." 

"Now take it easy, Joe," Bartlett ad- 
monished. "The sheriff is all right. He 
was just trying to do his job." 

"His job isn't to protect murderers, is 
it?" Stephens demanded. 

"No," Sam interjected. "But he is 
supposed to protect one until he gets a 
fair trial. Then he can have the pleasure 
of hanging him all by himself."

"He had a trial, didn't he?" Stephens 
inquired. "You were the judge and we 
were the jury. " 

"Not quite fair, I suppose," the dark 
man admitted. "After all, we weren't 
what you would exactly call an officially 
designated body. But is was fair enough, 
I guess. The crowd elected us. And 
everybody in Sacramento was there." 

"It was fair enough," Bartlett agreed. 
"What I don't understand is Judge 
Warren's attitude. He sure pulled a 
quick about face. One minute he got the 
whole thing organized. Then that little 
ball headed coot from Doc Gainsley's 
office came running over to him and he 
turned right around and tried to talk us 
out of it." 

Stephens grinned drunkenly. "A lot 
of good it did him. By then everybody 
was yelling so loud nobody heard what 
he had to say." 

There was another pause, but one of 
a different nature from the one which 
had existed earlier. Mark Stewart 
breathed a sigh of relief. The tension had 
eased. Everything would be all right. 
And business was good. The men at the 
bar had settled down to some steady 
drinking. Hardly anyone noticed when 
the broad shouldered man in the frock 
coat and soft black hat walked through 
the entrance. The tavern owner greeted 
him. 

"Good afternoon, Doc," he said pleas- 
antly. "^Ve don't see you very often." 

Doc Gainsley gazed at him steadily. 
"Not often," he agreed. 

"What will it be?" 

"The only thing you've got. Whisky." 

Stephens stared at the newcomer 
through half closed eyes. "What's the 
matter. Doc? Something eating you?" 

Gainsley shook his head. "Nothing im- 
portant." 

"It's all right. Doc," Bartlett inform- 
ed the doctor. "We all know they called 
you when the blacksmith got it. No one 
blames you." 

"That's fine," the doctor said. "That's 
just fine." 

"Take it easy. Doc," the dark man ad- 
vised. "You couldn't do anything. The 
blacksmith was dead before he hit the 
floor." 

Doc Gainsley eyed him coldly. "Not 
quite," he declared. 

Stephens braced himself against the 
plank and turned toward the doctor. 
"What do you mean 'not quite'. Doc? 
Either a man dies or he doesn't. The 
blacksmith is dead, isn't he?" 

"He's dead all right." 

"Then what are you worrying about ?" 

The doctor grimaced, downed his 
drink, then stepped away from the crowd 
at the bar. He cleared his throat and the

self styled judge and jury turned to look 
at him. 

"It may please you gentlemen to know- 
that the blacksmith died in my office," he 
said. He paused a moment, waiting to be 
sure that his next remark would sink in. 
"He died about five minutes ago. The 
cause of death, as close as I can tell, was 
a cardiac obstruction. Heart failure to 
you. The bullet barely nicked him." 

Doc Gainsley pulled aside the tent 
flap and stepped out into the clean spring 
sunlight. Back in the tavern Mark 
Stewart watched his customers warily. 
They were quiet again. Too quiet. 1 hey 
ordered their drinks in low pitched 
grunts and downed them with the thirsty 
gulps of those who have seen and done 
too much too fast. 



ONE IN NINE 

During 1953 one of every nine motor 
vehicle drivers in the state was cited by 
a member of the California Highway 
Patrol for failure to observe traffic regu- 
lations. 

"A ghastly by-product of this disre- 
gard for traffic laws was 3376 persons 
dead and upward of 110,000 injured," 
said Patrol Commissioner B. R. Cald- 
well today following a review of provi- 
sional reports on the 1*^53 traffic toll. 

There were 3562 fatalities during 
1952. 

"Seven per cent of all drivers, or al- 
most one-half million, were observed 
committing dangerous acts while their 
vehicles were in motion. \ hese are the 
violations that most often result in death 
or injury," Caldwell emphasized. 

The state's 6,017,000 licensed drivers 
received 524,383 citations and 165,560 
warnings from members of the Patrol 
last year for traffic law infractions. Of 
the citations issued, 460,717 were for 
hazardous accident causing violations. 
These figures represent increases over the 
439,324 total citations and 368,701 mov- 
ing violation arrests made during 1952. 
^Varnings dropped from 241,797 to 
165,560. 

"The primary concern of the Highway 
Patrol is the protection of all users of 
the highways. At the same time, the pri- 
mar\' objective of every motorist should 
be to drive within the laws," Caldwell 
declared.

ONE CAR ENOUGH 

"It doesn't take a second car to make 
a fatal crash." 

Authority for this statement conies 
from pro\isional statistics released by 
the California Highway Patrol which in- 
dicate that more than one-fourth of all 
fatal accidents during 1953 were non- 
collision accidents. Of 2896 fatal acci- 
dents, 766 or 26.4 per cent, involved only 
one car. 

"Most common types of non-collision 
accidents are those that occur when a car 
goes out of control and overturns on a 
roadway or runs off the roadway." com- 
mented B. R. Caldwell, Patrol Commis- 
sioner. 

"Many factors figure in these non- 
collision accidents but errors of driving 
judgment are responsible in the \ast ma- 
jority of cases. 

"Common errors," he said, "include 
traveling too fast for conditions, espe- 
cially on strange roads; permitting dis- 
tractions or obstructions to interfere 
when driving; continuing to drive when 
overtired or sleepy; overdriving head- 
lights; and operating cars that are in un- 
safe mechanical condition. 

"The driver himself can control these 
conditions in the vast majority of cases," 
he cautioned. 

Other types of non-collision acqidenrs 
which contributed to last year's non-col- 
lision toll included occupants falling 
from moving vehicles, mechanical fail- 
ures and fires, and accidents caused by 
wheels or other parts coming off the 
vehicle.

OWNER ACCOUNTABLE 

The registered owner of an unoccupied 
motor vehicle which breaks away or slips 
its brakes and goes careening destruc- 
tively down a hill has to answer to a 
new law incorporated in the California 
V^ehicle Code. 

The owner of a driverless runaway- 
motor vehicle, whether it is parked by 
him or someone else with his knowledge 
and consent, is considered to be the dri\er 
and must comply with the requirements 
of the financial security law and, if neces- 
sary, post security, reports the California 
State Automobile Association. Thus a 
rectification has been effected in the law 
which, through a former inequity, re- 
quired only the owner of the vehicle 
struck by a runaway machine to file a 
report and, if there were injuries or dam- 
ages, to post security.

Give Young Hoodlum Gangs 

the "Harass and Haunt" 

Treatment 

A recent news item from Philadelphia 
recounts a startling method adopted by 
the police of that city for the handling of 
young hoodlum gangs. It reads as fol- 
lows: "Philadelphia police, deluged with 
complaints of rowdyism by youthful 
mobs in recent weeks, drove ahead with a 
crackdown on teenage gangs today after 
rounding up more than 1,000 youngsters 
over the week-end. Captain Howard R. 
Leary of the Juvenile Aid Bureau and 
Police Commissioner Thomas J. Gibbons 
said : 'The police will harass and haunt 
these gangs until they make up their 
minds to settle down, be good citizens 
and stop bothering others.' 

CHANGE OIL 
THOROUGHLY 

If you are one of those motorists who 
buy crankcase oil in bulk, and quite a 
number do, according to the National 
Automobile Club, don't allow haste spo'l 
the effect of changing the engine lubri- 
cant. It is easy to do, accomplished most 
frequently by not allowing the old oil 
thoroughly to drain off. The last drop, it 
should be borne in mind, always is the 
dirtiest. 



Don't drive after drinking, advises the 
National Automobile Club. 



ANTI-FREEZE 

If vou're going to add a permanent- 
type anti-freeze to your car's cooling sys- 
tem it mav nofbe very permanent luiless 
you first check all water connections for 
leaks, replace defective hoses and tighten 
hose clamps. It's also a good idea, sug- 
gests the California State Automobile 
Association, to check the thermostat and 
flush the entire cooling system with clean 
water before adding the anti-freeze.

NEW TRAFFIC BOOK 

I he Traffic Accident Investigator's 
Manual, a 285-page, 15 chapter text- 
book, has just been published by the 
Traffic Institute, Northwestern Univer- 
sity. 

The new publication covers the basic 
problems confronted by the traffic acci- 
dent investigator at the operational level. 
It contains more than 100 photographs, 
charts, tables, and diagrams. 

Chapter titles are: 

Traffic Accidents and Their Causes, 
Traffic Accident Investigation — What It 
Is and Why It Is Important, Legal Re- 
sponsibilities in Connection with Traffic 
Accidents, Planning the Accident Inves- 
tigation, Questioning Drivers and Wit- 
nesses, Road and AVeather Conditions, 
Clues Useful in Accident Investigation, 
Skidmarks, Measurements and Diagrams 
in Accident Investigation, Skidmarks 
Measurements and Records, Photogra- 
nh\ in Accident Investigation, The Acci- 
dent Report Form, Speed Estimates, Hit- 
and-Run Investigation, and Civil Lia- 
bility Aspects of Police Accident Inves- 
tigation. 

"It has not been possible to cover all 
operational phases of traffic accident in- 
vestigation in this volume," L. J. Mc- 
Ennis, Jr., Institute director of publica- 
tions, said. "Had publication been delay- 
ed until all topics were developed, the 
materials presented might not have been 
available under one cover for several 
\ears. It is anticipated, however, that 
these materials will e\entually become 
part of a larger complete volume to be 
published by the Traffic Institute." 

The new book is paper bound. The 
price is $3.50. It mav be ordered from 
the Traffic Institute, Northwestern L^ni- 
\'ersity, 1704 Judson Ave., Evanston, 111.

Months later, following surgery, she 
was finally informed that she would 
never walk again. 

"I hope people will realize, when the>' 
start to take unnecessary chances, that an 
accident doesn't always end when the 
glass is swept of? the street. A fraction 
of a second can change an entire life- 
time," she commented. 

SAFETY 

The first twenty-five miles away from 
home are the most hazardous when 
you're driving an automobile, says the 
California State Automobile Association. 
Statistics show that sixty-one per cent 
of the drivers involved in the 33,000 
fatal accidents during 1952 lived within 
twenty-five miles of where the accident 
occurred, in short, safety should begin 
at home.

STOPPING POWER 

The chances of >our brakes failing 
when you step on the brake pedal are not 
very great but that doesn't mean you 
should neglect them. The complete brak- 
ing system of an automobile should be 
checked over carefully at regular inter- 
vals, advises the California State Auto- 
mobile Association. Having this done 
once a year or every 15,000 miles is a 
wise rule to follow. 



COMMUNITY PRIDE 

Clean highways and streets reflect 
communitN' pride and alertness, states the 
California State Automobile Association. 
Motorists should help keep streets and 
highways unlittered by not tossing trash 
out of car windows. 



LIVESTOCK 

If you meet or overtake any animal or 
livestock, \ou must reduce the speed of 
your vehicle or stop as may be necessary 
or may be requested by any person in 
charge of the animal or livestock, the 
California State Automobile Association 
says. 

DRIVING IN FOG 

Use your lower headlight beams when 
driving in a fog, and reduce your speed, 
says the California State Automobile As- 
sociation in reminding motorists of the 
law. Driving with your high beams in a 
fog is like shining your lights on a mirror 
— the light is reflected back into your 
own eyes. 

WHITE AT NIGHT 

A large metropolitan police depart- 
ment made a check of the clothing worn 
by pedestrians killed in traffic at night. 
About four-fifths of the victims were 
wearing dark clothes and one-fifth light- 
colored garments. This study points up 
the rule stressed b\- the California State 
Automobile Association that pedestrians 
are less likely to encounter traffic mis- 
haps at night if they wear or carry some- 
thing white after dark so that drivers 
can see them more easily.

HELP YOUNGSTERS 

Sometimes persons who dri\e children 
to and from classes double-park at the 
school, thus requiring the youngsters to 
step between parked \ehicles. Children 
are constantly taught at school not to 
step between vehicles parked at a curb, 
a rule that is vital to their safety, so don't 
encourage the youngsters to violate it, 
urges the California State Automobile 
Association.

TRAFFIC SIGNS 

Signs, signals and markings are visible 
symbols of traffic laws and safety rules. 
It is always to the driver's advantage to 
heed and obey them, advises the Califor- 
nia State Automobile Association. Here 
in California nine out of every ten fatal 
and injury accidents involve at least one 
traffic law violation. Break a traffic law 
and you'll probably have an accident. 

BAD WEATHER 

Accidents increase at night and in bad 
weather. Most of these mishaps can be 
avoided if drivers adjust driving habits 
to the hazardous conditions facing them, 
says the California State Automobile As- 
sociation. It's also important to keep a 
car's safety equipment — tires, brakes, 
lights, horn, windshield wipers, steering 
gear — in good working order. 



CLEAN MOTOR 

Keep your car's motor clean, advises 
the California State Automobile Asso- 
ciation. An accumulation of oil and 
grease on the engine and ignition system 
not only creates a fire hazard but it may 
cause hard starting. 



SNOW COUNTRY TRIP 

If you plan a week-end trip to the snow 
country check your car battery to see that 
it is fully charged, advises the California 
State Automobile Association. A battery 
that is not fully charged may function in 
temperate weather, but often it will not 
start your car in below-freezing tempera- 
tures. 



BELATED CURES 

Those who disregard health rules con- 
tract serious ailments and suddenly be- 
come desperately aware of the need for a 
cure. Drivers who disregard safety rules 
sooner or later become involved in serious 
accidents and then suddenly become des- 
perately aware of the necessity of traffic 
safety rules and practices. The California 
State Automobile Association urges 
drivers to remember that an ounce of 
accident prevention is worth a pound of 
safety cure. 



A DEADLY FORCE 

Centrifugal force isn't a living thing, 
but it can quickly become a deadly thing 
when a driver takes a curve too fast. 
Watch your speed when rounding 
curves, warns the California State Auto- 
mobile Association. A car out of control 
at a bend may mean your life's at an end. 



CLEAN WINDSHIELDS 

Clean windshields cut light glare, re- 
ports the National Automobile Club.

i^ 




When Grandpa tucked you between his knees, 
you knew you were going to listen again to 
his wonderful watch— to hear its magic 
tick . . . tick . . . tick . . . 
And as you listened, those measured whispers of 
time shut aivay the world, leaving you close to 
Grandpa, secure in his love. 

From fathers and mothers to sons and daughters passes 
the lifeblood of happiness-security. The privilege of 
providing it for those we love can be found only in a 
land like ours. 

And another wonderful thing is this: By realizing this 
privilege of freedom for ourselves, we achieve the security 
of our country. For, think-the strength of America is 
simply the strength of one secure home touching that 
of another. 



Saving for security is easy! Read every word — 
now! If you've tried to save and failed, chances are it 
was because you didn't have a plan. Well, here's a sav- 
ings system that really works — the Payroll Savings 
Plan for investing in Savings Bonds. 

This is all you do. Go to your company's pay office, 
choose the amount you want to save — a couple of dol- 
lars a payday, or as much as you wish. That money 
will be set aside for you before you even draw your 
pay. And automatically invested in Series E U. S. 
Savings Bonds which are turned over to you. 

If you can save only $3.75 a week on the Plan, in 9 
years and 8 months you will have $2,1,'?7.30. If you 
can save as much as $18.75 a week, 9 years and 8 
months will bring you $10,700! 

For your sake, and your family's, too, how about 
signing up today? 



The V. S. Government does not pay for this advrrtwement. II is dunalrd by this vuhliration in cooperation with the 
Advertising Council and the Magazine Publishors oS America.

Why gasoline 

is a real bargain 

today 

Two fSCtS lie behind the low price you pay for gasoline: 
oil companies work constantly through research to im- 
prove products and keep prices low, and they compete 
intensely for your patronage. That's why Standard opened 
the West's first petroleum research laboratory 32 years 
ago — and invests about $6 million annually in research. 







One result you see here. Thanks to competition, 

gasoline prices (aside from taxes) have risen only 
20% since 1925 . . . less than half as much as practi- 
cally anything else you buy. But there have been 
other benefits for you, too. Research, motivated by 
competition, has resulted in a steadily improving gas- 
oline. Two gallons of modern gasohne do the work 
that required 3 in 1925, and this has paved the way 
for lighter, more efficient car engines that give you 



more power, performance and economy. Competition 
and research have led to better gas station service, as 
weU, and to the world-wide search that has discovered 
the largest known oil reserves in America's history. 
Last year, Standard Oil Company of California 
invested $225 miUion in exploration, new oil wells, 
improved facilities to keep pace with competition. 
The result is better gasoline at prices which make 
it one of the real bargains in your family budget.

ARE you GUILTY?" 



Reviewed hy B. C. Bridges 
This question, "Are you guilty? ", rep- 
resents the startling title of the most re- 
cent book by William Dienstein, Profes- 
sor of Criminology in the Fresno State 
College at Fresno, California. It is pub- 
lished by Charles C. Thomas, 301-327 
East Lawrence Avenue, Springfield, Illi- 
nois. The work also offers the added dis- 
tinction of an illuminating foreword by 
August Vollmer, AVorld-recognized lead- 
er in the law-enforcement field, and just- 
ly famed as "the father of modern police 
science. " His stamp of approval on any 
text in this domain is ample proof of its 
merit. 

With ARE YOU GUILTY? Profes- 
sor Dienstein has presented a fearless e.x- 
pose certain to shock the most blase read- 
er into vivid awareness of reality. In view 
of his wide experience and background, 
this writer is well suited to cover his sub- 
ject, competently. In his preface, he as- 
serts: "The purpose of this book is to 
present to the public an overall picture 
of the program of the administration of 
criminal justice in the United States of 
America. Neither is it a legalistic inter- 
pretation. Rather, it is an attempt at ob- 
jectivity such as an observer who seeks

writer is not a reformer, nor a crusader, 
nor a muckraker. The text is presented 
to allow the reader to take a look at those 
factors which have made the administra- 
tion of justice the subject of contempt, 
abuse, disrespect, and even hatred. — The 
machinery of criminal justice is an intri-

various parts of the machinery as the of-

In addition to the fact that Professor 
Dienstein's book personifies stark real- 
ism, it is exceptionally well written. All 
readers familiar with the lucid style iden- 
tifying all of his earlier writings, must 
agree that this present work is his best to 
date.

Certain other contributors have as- 
sumed to offer unbiased surveys on the 
shortcomings of American jurisprudence, 
but, in many cases, the\ have either dwelt 
upon a few aspects only, or else skirted 
the problem, diffidenth'. Furthermore, all 
too frequently, popular apathy has tended 
to ignore or mim'mize discrepancies in our 
justice program, thus encouraging dan- 
gerous complacency in the public mind. 
In fact, only occasional writers have dis- 
played the self-reliance needful to take 
issue here and wage a campaign for bet- 
terment. 



Professor Dienstein, howe\er, is hap- 
pily free from such inhibitions, and to all 
who read his book, it will be plain that 
he offers a new concept calculated to in- 
spire both corrective thought and action. 
His material is well documented by case 
histories and much factual data assembled 
from many sources; it leaves no valid 
ground for challenge. Also, he has given 
his theme ample coverage, as attested by 
his chapter titles, which include the fol- 
lowing : "What is Justice ? ; The People 
and the Press ; Laws, Legislators, Lob- 
bies and Politicians; The Police; Jails 
and Hails ; Lawyers, Defense Attorneys, 
and Prosecutors; Judges; Juries; Proba- 
tion ; Prison ; Parole." From this resume, 
it is obvious that Professor Dienstein has 
considered his subject from many angles. 

As to the book's more intimate con- 
tents, there is herein an enlightening sur- 
vey of the entire law-enforcement pro- 
gram in all of its ramifications. The 
actual events portrayed include instances 
citing obviously guilty persons who elud- 
ed punishment ; and also examples of per- 
fectly innocent victims subjected to in- 
human persecution ; it describes crass af- 
flictions of misfeasance and malfeasance 
imposed upon the unsuspecting, together 
with numerous other legal travesties. In 
short, he outlines the diverse machina- 
tions of graft, \ice, crime, ignorance and 
indifference, as affecting the highly-placed 
law official down to the lowliest civic 
servant, to say nothing of the general pub- 
lic. Added to this. Professor Dienstein 
explains not only why these conditions 
exist, but also offers practical measures 
for their eradication. 

It is a conservative statement to sa\ 
that Professor Dienstein's technique com- 
bines force with clarity. His following re-

RESORT POLICE CHIEF 



April 1954 



How would you like to be the chief of 
police in a city whose population fluctu- 
ates between 20 and 150 thousand regu- 
larly? 

That is the problem that faces Chief 
of Police Al Huntsman and his Santa 
Cruz police force. 

Santa Cruz, a city with a normal popu- 
lation of 22,000, is a strict resort com- 
munity. From May to September, and 
even during the winter months if the 
weather is nice, crowds of fun seekers 
jam Highway 17 in an effort to reach 
the sandy beaches of northern Califor- 
nia's favorite resort area. 

The entire county is resort minded, 
and the crowds not only jam-pack the 
famed beach and broadwalk, Ijut they 
pour into the nearby recreation areas such 
as famed Big Basin state park and the 
quiet, charming San Lorenzo Valley. But 
Santa Cruz is the center of the annual 
migration. 

Unlike some resort spots, Santa Cruz 
has a diversified group of vacationists. 
They come from all walks of life — from 
farm workers of Central California to 
the upper crust of San Francisco society. 
On a beautiful day you are likely to find 
a group of high school students lading on 
the beach listening to their portable radio, 
while nearby will sit a pensioned couple 
enjoying the warm sun and the weekly 
band concerts. 

It is during the vacation period that 
the resources of Chief Huntsman and his 
police force are strained to the breaking 
point. 




Donald F. Lynn 



But it isn't crime that provides Santa 
Cruz policemen with their main problem 
— it is the flow of traffic. Thousands of 
autos pour from the three highways lead- 
ing into the community each weekend, 
and they create a traffic problem that 
would bring a frown to the officer on 
duty at 'Fhird and Market streets at 
5 p.m. 

The problem isn't helped by highways 
that have not been kept up to the times, 
or city streets that are too narrow. But 
the 39-man Santa Cruz police depart- 
ment has learned to take the influx in 
stride, and they handle it with compara- 
tive ease. There are still tieups, but the 
police force keeps them to a minimum. 

In Huntsman, the city of Santa Cruz 
was lucky to find one of the top police 
administrators in the state. Last July, 
Huntsman rounded out 20 years of serv- 
ice in the local force. It was in 1933 that 
Huntsman became chief of the 12 officers 
who comprised the squad in that day. 
Today, he heads an organization of 39, 
including four women on the clerical 
staff. 

\Vhen he assumed leadership of the 
police department, there was one patrol 
wagon and a touring car, no radio, and 
next to no record system. Today, the 
police of Santa Cruz have at their dis- 
posal a fleet of modern patrol cars, equip- 
ped with the latest radio and electronic 
devices, and a record section that com- 
pares favorably with any in the state. 

Huntsman believes in a "clean town", 
and one of his first acts in taking over 
the police department was to crack down 
on the flourishing gambling houses and 
to rout what there was of prostitution. 
He let it be known that neither would 
henceforce be tolerated in the surf city — 
and he has kept the lid down since. 

He would be the first to admit that 
during the summer months some un- 
savory "characters" make their appear- 
ance. But the alert work of the depart- 
ment makes sure their activities are kept 
to a minimum. 

Chief Huntsman considers the biggest 
single step forward in the 20 years of 
development of the modern police de- 
partment was the purchase and installa- 
tion of modern radio communications for 
the dispatch and intercommunication of 
police vehicles. 

He explains that while Santa Cruz is 
a comparatively small city, population 
wise, it covers a great many square miles, 
and without modern police equipment it 
would be impossible to provide citizens 




Chief of Police Al Huntsman 

with the proper protection. "With our 
communication system," Huntsman says, 
"we are able to rush reinforcements to 
trouble spots as they develop, whether 
they be a traflSc tieup, or an armed rob- 
bery. 

A second reason for the rapid growth 
of the police department, according to 
Huntsman, was the free hand given him 
in building up a complete and ampl\ 
staffed record bureau. 

"Both cost money," he says, "but both 
have paid big dividends in a better and 
more efficient system of law enforce- 
ment." 

The police department was also 
strengthened when the city manager form 
of government was installed in Santa 
Cruz following AVorld War II, and with 
it came the civil service system. Both 
have proved effective in making the police 
department more effective. 

Himtsman has attempted to keep up in 
all fields of police work. His officers are 
continually imdergoing training in the 
latest methods of law enforcement, and 
they are regular members in the courses 
sponsored by the FBI. 

Always interested in youth, the Sant:i 
Cruz police force has kept juxem'le de- 
linquency at a minimum. Headlines tell- 
ing of wild teenage parties, kid narcotic 
addicts and other youthful crime activities 
are rare in Santa Cruz.

TEENAGE SOLUTION 



Youthful Don Latta, Capitola's 28- 
year-old chief of police, believes he has 
found the solution to stopping juvenile 
vandalism in resort areas. 

When Latta took over the department 
21/2 years ago, Capitola was plagued by 
visiting teen-agers who visited the small 
Santa Cruz county resort city during the 
vacation periods. The youths, many who 
came from nearby Stanford university 
and San Jose State college, committed no 
major crimes, but some of their pranks 
proved very disturbing to the residents of 
the community. 



drive 30 or 40 miles to get junior out 
of a jam. 

Under Latta's direction, the depart- 
ment has also helped put an end to juven- 
ile delinquency at home. He formed a 
rifle club and a hot rod group. Both have 
proved successful, and are well attended 
by youths from throughout the northern 
part of the county. 

Actually, the Capitola police depart- 
ment takes in more than just the city of 
Capitola. It is a district, and includes 
portion of nearby Soquel and Live Oak. 

Capitola has two full-time men on its 



tized and help out when an emergency 
arises outside their immediate area. 

Since taking over the department, Lat- 
ta has modernized his office to keep it up 
with the times. He has put in a modern 
record system, bought camera and finger- 
print equipment. Latta now believes his 
department is as modern as any small 
force in the state. 

^Vhile Latta's methods of cutting 
down youthful pranks may not have sat 
very well with some parents, his regis- 
tration program has brought forth some 
fine compliments. 




Latta, who stands six-foot, five inches, 
soon found that lectures and fines did not 
have much effect. So he devised a system 
whereby a violator had to call his parents 
immediately, da\' or night, and tell them 
to come and get him. 

Parents who were wont to laugh at the 
pranks of their youngsters during the 
daytime, soon wiped the smiles off their 
faces when dragged out of bed in the 
early hours of the morning and forced to

staff, Latta and one assistant, Martin 
Bergthold. But during the summer 
months when the population swells to 
three or four times its normal size of 
2.000, an additional six or seven men are 
hired. 

The department works closely with 
Sheriff J. R. Devitt and his office. The 
sheriff's department handles all the radio 
work for the small department, and in 
exchange, Latta and his staff are depu- 



.r*!''^^^-. 



More than once the Capitola PD spent 
many hours looking for a youngster who 
was needed at home because of an emer- 
gency. So Latta contacted the student 
bodies of nearby colleges and high schools 
and told the students that if they would 
register with his department he would 
deliver messages to and from parents. 

The system proved a big succe.ss, and 
last year a total of 340 students took part

DEVITT TO RETIRE 



April, 1954 



Santa Cruz county will lose a faithful 
and honest servant, and the law enforce- 
ment profession one of its keenest and 
most fearless members when Sheriff J. R. 
(Bob) Devitt turns in his badge this 
coming January. 

Devitt has served the people of this 
small Monterey bay area county for 39 
years, and if he chose to run again he 
could probabh- serve double that number. 
But at 61 years of age, the still energetic 
sheriff believes it is time for him to step 
aside. 



Vast changes ha\e taken place in the 
sheriff's office since Devitt took control. 
I he department had only fi\e employees, 
including the sheriff when De\'itt went 
into office in 1934. It now employs a total 
of 33, including matrons and a secretarial 
staff. Where there were three old-fash- 
ioned touring cars there are now seven 
high-compression autos that can whip the 
deputies from one end of the country to 
the other in a matter of minutes. 

A complete radio svstem has been in- 



most important improvements made since 
taking office. 

"Our radio system has enabled us to 
completely cover the county," he says, 
"and, of course, makes it doubly tough on 
criminals." 

Another addition since Devitt took 
over is a night and day patrol system 
throughout the 435 miles of the county. 
A sheriff's patrol car is within a few 
minutes notice no matter where you live | 
in this small, but mountainous commun- 
itv. 




A native of Felton, Devitt first went to 
work as a member of the county's engi- 
neering department in 1915. He remain- 
ed there until 1928 when he joined Sher- 
iff Nick Sinnott as undersheriff. A posi- 
tion he held for three years. 

In 1934, Devitt ran for sheriff for the 
first time and emerged victorious. Since 
then he has served five consecutive terms 
in the tough office before deciding to call 
it quits. 



SUMMERTIME AT SANTA CRUZ 



stalled, and the sheriff's office not only 
carries its own messages, but handles 
work for the count\' coroner, countv engi- 
neering department, Capitola's police de- 
partment and five independent merchant 
patrols. It is a far cry from the one-way 
system that was working when Devitt 
too over. 

Devitt has also installed a complete 
record system in the office. He considers 
the radio and record s\steni as the two 



Santa Cruz county is lucky from a 
crime standpoint, according to Devitt, in 
that it is oft" the main line of big highways 
and railroads. And as a result has a low 
number of major crimes. 

"Our biggest problem," Devitt claims, 
"is one that is somewhat unusual." He is 
speaking of cabin pilfering. Santa Cruz, 
of course, is a resort center, and thou- 
sands of persons from outside the county

AIRBORNE PRISONERS 



Page 7 



In Januarii' 1948 chiefly through the 
efforts of Sergeant Eldon Heck, (now 
Lieutenant) of the Santa Clara County 
Sheriffs Office, a tremendous step for- 
ward was taken increasing the efficiency 
of the department in charge of prisoner 
transportation. Heck, who had been with 
the Sheriff's Department but one year 
was quick to recognize the need for effi- 
cient, safe, inexpensive prisoner trans- 
porting. 

He realized almost immediately the 
antiquity in the present system of prison- 
er transport. Heck served as a flyer with 
the Army Air Corps in the 156th wing 
battalion, 8th fighter command and was 
a commercial pilot even before entering 
the service. It can therefore be easily 
understood with his flying experience that 
he recognized the man hours and expense 
involved as needless waste. Each time 
Eldon Heck was sent to pick up prisoners 
in Los Angeles or San Diego he was re- 
quired to be away from home three days 
and drive an estimated 1100 to 1200 
miles. The county allowed $11 per man 
per twenty four hours and an additional 
twelve ($12) per day wages for each of 
the two deputies making the trip. The 
mileage expense cost 7c per mile figuring 
depreciation and operation. The com- 
bined expenses at a minimum would total 
$199.00 and this expense of course was 
carried by the County of Santa Clara. 

Keeping these figures in mind Heck 
proceeded to gather information on air 
travel and time involved. He collected 
the data and presented his ideas to Sheriff" 
Hornbuckle who was quick to recognize 
the advantages of air travel. 

The collected data recorded the trip 
at a leisurely two hours, 20 minutes from 
San Jose to San Diego and involved $20 
in wages. The total time round trip was 
less than five hours and a rate of around 
$110 for the plane and fuel was charged. 
This gave a total expense of $130 or a 
savings of $69 on one trip. 

It was arranged to rent a plane on 
contract and pay only the flying time. 
The department was given the key to the 
plane and given explicit rights to a D17 
Stagger Wing Beach Craft with a 450 
H.P. Pratt ^Vhitney Engine. This plane 
has a five passenger cabin and a cruising 
speed of 190 miles per hour. 

Extra equipment was installed for 
more safety and efficiency. A full flying 
panel is one factor plus a high and low 
frequency radio and also a special plane 
to patrol car communication. Everything 
was all set except who could and would 
fly the plane. Naturally this presented no 



problem since Elton Heck had long an- 
ticipated piloting the craft. 

It took little time for the county to 
recognize the values of this new system. 
It so completely dwarfed the man hours 
and comity expenses that over $9,000 was 
saved the first year. 

How safe is it flying and are the pris- 
oners had to handle in a plane? Many of 
these questions entered the minds of in- 
terested observers and were soon answer- 
ed by Lieutenant Heck. 



Should conditions be poor the trip is can- 
celled until favorable conditions for fly- 
ing prevail. 

When making a pick-up in another 
county the prisoners are driven to the air- 
port at a pre-arranged time thus eliminat- 
ing any lay-over. 

An interesting highlight of Lt. Heck's 
flights occurred several years ago at the 
Salinas Airport. Heck and his deputy 
made a pickup of a large wide e\'ed negro 
boy. The}' were flying a new plane, a 




Sheriff Hornbuckle 



Safety? The chances for accidents are 
far below that of driving a car. ^Vhen 
flying rugged terrain and high mountains 
they are flown around if at all possible. 
Heck always tries to keep in a location 
where he can make a forced landing 
should some emergency arise. Thus he 
greatly limits additional hazards. 

Are prisoners hard to handle? When 
one considers that perhaps one in one- 
hundred has ever flown and that one in 
one-thousand has ever flown in a small 
aircraft, the flying experience among 
prisoners is of course a very slim margin. 
Therefore it is usually a new experience 
and quite often a frightening one. Being 
suspended in the air is a great psycholo- 
gical factor and the prisoners are well 
behaved, cooperating in every way. 

Another important factor of safety is 
the weather checking before take-off. 



Cessina 170. This particular type plane 
was used for training student pilots and 
was equipped with a "stall horn." This 
"stall horn" automatically blows when 
the plane gets into a stalling position, to 
warn the pilot. As the story goes, the men 
took oft' into the North and just cleared 
the ground when the engine stopped 
without warning. Heck quickly made a 
180° turn and headed back to the field. 
At the moment of the turn the "stall 
horn" blasted out and startled the prison- 
er. The plane pancaked in without dam- 
age and Heck and his deputy asked the 
prisoner how he felt — "Boss," he an- 
swered, "when I saw you sweating and 
heard that noise, I thought it was Gabriel 
blowin' his horn." 

The use of the Sheriff's Department 
plane is not solely for transporting pris-

John Atkinson, President 



Thomas A. Bayley, Secretary 



The February 1 1th meeting of the As- 
sociated Pubh'c Communications Officers, 
Inc., was called to order at 1 1 :15 a.m. by 
the President, Art McDole, with 37 
members and guests in attendance. The 
meeting was held at Vahls, in Alviso and 
the host was Robert Mason of the Santa 
Clara County. 

The minutes of the January meeting 
were read and approved. The Treas- 
urer's report showed a balance of $487.00 
on hand as of February 10, 1954, with all 
bills paid. 

President McDole appointed the fol- 
lowing committees for this year : 

Membership: Mason, Chairman, 
Freeman and Mayr. 

Procedure and Operation: Lewis, 
Chairman, Bogardus, Keller and Atkin- 
son. 

Teletype: Huston, Chairman, George 
Burton and Harrington. 

Commercial Relations: Olson, Chair- 
man, Robertson and Parmenter. 

Frequency & Engineering. McMur- 
phy. Chairman, Bayley and Atkinson. 

The President stated that starting 
with the March meeting the Secre- 
tary would call the roll of the members. 
Membership applications of Russ Pat- 
tison as a Commercial Member and Eu- 
gene Huston as an Active Member were 
approved on a motion by McMurphy, 
seconded by Bayley. 

1 he President then called for the re- 
port of the Frequency and Engineering 
Committee. Chairman McMurphy rec- 
ommended approval of the frequency of 
155.31 mc, base and mobile, for the city 
of Walnut Creek. This was approved on 
a motion by Keller, seconded by Free- 
man. 

McMurphy also reported on FCC 
Dockett 10869 which proposes licensing 
fees by the FCC. Bob Mason brought to 
the attention of the membership that it 
appears San Francisco and San Mateo 
County are not maintaining continuous 
monitoring watches on the point-to-point 
system as there is difficulty in contacting 
them. 

President McDole reported on the 
methods and the attempt by the Tele- 
phone Company to have the favorable 
comments filed by Monterey County on 
Dockett 10777 withdrawn. He reported 
that the Board of Supervisors, after an 
open discussion refused to take any action 
in withdrawing the comments. 

The meeting was adjourned for lunch 
at 12:00 Noon. 

During lunch our host introduced his 



guests. Commissioner Roger Nash and 
Chief Henry Lingua of the Central Fire 
Protection District of Santa Clara Coun- 
ty. The President then called for intro- 
duction of members and their guests. 

The meeting was called back to order 
at 1:10 p.m. by President McDole. He 
then introduced Vic Zacharia of Zack's 
Radio, who spoke briefly on industrial 
close circuit TV. He then introduced a 
crew from RCA who put on a very en- 
lightening demonstration of RCA's new 
close circuit TVI. 

Chief Simpson of Monterey then spoke 
on some of the problems the Administra- 
tor finds in communications and gave 
some suggestions on how communications 
personnel can assist the Administrator. 

Mason reported on the results on the 
450 mc survey which was run between 
Mt. Diablo, Copernicus Peak and near 
Blue Ridge Mountain. He stated that 
communications was 100% between 
these points. 

The Secretary read an invitation from 
CPRA to hold the next joint meeting in 
Visalia on May 14th and 15th. On a 
motion by LeBouef, seconded by Keller, 
the membership voted to accept CPRA's 
invitation. 

General discussion on standard operat- 
ing procedure followed. It was brought 
out that point-to-point procedure is pend- 
ing installation of selective calling on the 
point-to-point. McMurphy pointed out 
that the cooperation of the State Division 
of Communications has not been very 
good and their help is needed on the proj- 
ect. It was also pointed out that the fre- 
quency of 154.71 mc is available to event- 
ually replace the 73.26 mc frequency on 
Mt. Diablo. The change from one fre- 
quency to the other rests with the State 
of California and from all indications 
they were unaware of the problem. 

On a motion by Mason, seconded by 
Bayley, the Secretary was directed to 
notify the State Division of Communica- 
tions that the frequency of 154.71 mc is 
available to replace 73.26 mc on the 
point-to-point on Mt. Diablo. The Secre- 
tary was further directed to request the 
State make immediate arrangements to 
duplicate the 73.26 transmitter with a 
154.71 mc transmitter to operate simul- 
taneously with 73.26 until the frequency 
is no longer available. The funds for 
such transmitter having been included in 
the present budget on the Civil Defense 
law enforcement service. A copy of this 
letter to be directed to the Director of 
Finance. 



On a motion by McMurphy, seconded 
by Mason, an invitation was extended to 
Preston Allen, Chief of the State Divi- 
sion of Communications to become an ac- 
tive member of this Organization. 

The Secretary requested a clarification 
on the use of double and single postcards 
and permission to have addressograph 
plates made for the mailing list. On a 
motion by Lewis, seconded by Bayley, 
the Association approved the addresso- 
graph plates and authorized the Secretary 
to exercise his own discretion pn the use 
of single or double postcards. 

Jim Lewis of Marin County offered to 
host the March 11th meeting at Hamil- 
ton Air Force Base. 

As there was no further business the 
meeting was adjourned at 3:00 p.m.

PISTOL POINTING 



LTsually the month of January in any 
year is tuflf going for the pistoleers as 
there are no major matches around for 
them to go to and strut their stufT. Its 
equally tuff on the writers as then they 
have to use their imaginations and what- 
ever material they can manage to scrape 
together. I am fortunate this year as I 
have a wealth of dope for the readers and 
in fact, I have so much I will be unable 
to use it all as my space in the "Journal" 
is limited. 

First on the calendar is the Oakland 
club and their yearly booklet on the 1953 
matches. Their booklet has not been re- 
leased as yet as it is still in the process of 
being printed but the club secretary, Tom 
Monahan, kindly gave me the highlights 
of the book which will be sent out to the 
members in ^larch so if yours is not on 
hand by then better get hold of someone 
and ask how come? 

Nineteen-hundred and fifty-three was 
the Chinese year of the Snake and was 
purported to be bad luck for all sons of the 
celestial empire and many of the orientals 
tread most lightly last year less their al- 
ready foredained bad luck be worst. One 
worthy son of Cathay, Bob Chow, by 
name, evidently didn't take his Confu-

pistol championship of the Oakland Club. 
Bob, as you probably know is one of 
San Francisco's leading gimsmiths and 
has his own shop out on Mission street 
but he has a bad habit (and this is right 
from the shooters, too) of winning a heck 
of a lot of matches and giving the other 
shooters a pretty ruff time of it. The 
second place high aggregate winner was 
Sgt. Karl Schaugaard of the San Fran- 
cisco Police Department while Milt 
Klipfel, of the California Highway Pa- 
trol placed third. This championship is 
obtained by taking the highest 15 scores 
shot during 1953 and are for the three

tol shooting last year and copped the two

caliber guns, the .22, .38 and .45 and the 
scores were not too far apart for the three 
champions. 

The only records set in Oakland in 
1953 were set by the three top winners 
with Schaugaard shooting in the .22 cali- 
ber 20 shot timed-fire match shot a 200+ 
50— a real new record. In the .45 
matches Chow set a new high in the 
Camp Perry with a 295 while Klipfel 
jerked his way to a 289 in the National 
Match course. The 289 over the Nation- 
al match course is really shooting with 
that .45 canon.

In Modesto, a city of about 35,000 
population situated in the heart of one 
of California's richest agricultural dis- 
tricts. Chief James C. Neel, a progres- 
sive, modern minded law enforcement 
officer, directs the destiny of the police 
department.

Bureau of Investigation. 

In addition to his own force, Neel in- 
\ited officers from other Stanislaus Coun- 
ty Police Departments and Sheriff Dan 
Kelsay's office to attend. 

He declared that the constant devel- 
opment of new techniques by criminals 
requires continuing exchange of the lat- 
est ideas on law enforcement from agen- 



and has continued through the various 
phases of police work. 

Working in close harmony with Neel 
is Sheriff Kelsay, a man whose office pro- 
duced one of the outstanding examples 
of detective work in connection with a 
homicide case in recent years.

"Through a careful selection of per- 
sonnel and a well rounded, continuous 
training program, police agencies can 
raise their standard of service to the pub-

is part of a long range program to im-

THE DERAAS MURDER 



The rich black earth was freshly 
plowed and moist so that a thick layer 
clung to the feet of the farm hands as 
they cut across the field toward their 
morning chores. A heavy dew had wash- 
ed the grass so that it was bright and 
gleaming in the warm spring sunlight. 
Nearby the Tuolumne River flowed 
peacefully toward its junction with the 
San Joaquin, filled to its broad brim by 
the melting snows of the High Sierras. 
A distant farmhouse was half hidden by 
its border of trees.

The farm hands changed direction so 
as to pass closer to the mired vehicle. 
Its rear wheels were deep in the soft 
earth and a low mound of dirt had been 
thrown behind them, apparently while 
the driver spun them in a hopeless at- 
tempt to escape the muddy grup. Teekle 
and AVelch were very close before they 
noticed the body. It was half covered

"It's Eilif Deraas." Snapped back into 
reality by the sound of his own voice, 
Welch started forward, but the restrain- 
ing hand of his companion arrested the 
movement. 

"It's too late to help him," Teekle 
remarked. "We'd better call the sheriff." 

"The sheriff?"

peated dully. "Look at his head. What

RESORT POLICE CHIEF 

(Continued from page 4-) 

A two-man juvenile bureau headed by 
Sgt. Ernie Marenghi and Officer Tor 
Spindler keep a constant check on the 
doings of the youth of the community. 

Huntsman has also interested himself 
in youth work. A lover of sports, he is 
president of the well-known Santa Cruz 
Seahawk Athletic club. The club, under 
his direction, has built a large athletic 
stadium and recreation area within the 
city, and also sponsors baseball and foot- 
ball teams. The stadium, which is the 
pride and joy of Huntsman's life, has be- 
come a mecca for the sports-minded youth 
of Santa Cruz. 

What is the most important thing to 
keep in mind as a police chief ? 

"Treat everybody on an equal basis, 
and treat people the wa\' \'ou like to be 
treated yourself," Huntsman claims. "In 
that manner, you will make a difficult 
and delicate job easier for yourself and 
for others. Public relations is an impor- 
tant part of law enforcement." 

Although eligible to retire now. Chief 
Huntsman has no definite plans as yet, 
and he is planning to "stay on for a 
while." "After all," he comments, "after 
20 years of service I'm not even at the top 
step by pay classification. There's still 
time . . ." 

Huntsman gives a lot of credit to the 
people of Santa Cruz for giving him a 
free hand in running his department ac- 
cording to his ideas and ideals. "The peo- 
ple, and the various city councils and 
mayors have always been reasonable and 
kind," he says. "\Ve've tried to give them 
the best department we know how to 
make. We'll continue to do so if that is 
what the people want."

in the program during the Easter vaca-

DUPLICATE KEYS 

To avoid the embarrassing delay caused 
by being accidentally locked out of your 
automobile, the California State Auto- 
mobile Association suggests that extra 
duplicate keys should be obtained from a 
locksmith. Tape one to some portion of 
the chassis and place the other one in 
your billfold. When an emergency arises, 
either will be available for use.

DEVITT TO RETIRE 

(Continued from page 6) 
own small cabins and summer resorts. 
These residences, which range from log 
cabins to swanky mansions, are vacant a 
great part of the year. 

"We are plagued constantly," Devitt 
says, "by the owners of these homes re- 
porting to us when they arrive in the 
summer that their premises have been en- 
tered, and valuables stolen. The normal 
housebreaking is discovered within a mat- 
ter of hours or a few days, but in Santa 
Cruz it may be months. 

"And if you think it isn't tough to 
solve a house robbery in which the trail 
has been cold for as long as six months, 
well, try it sometime," the youngish look- 
ing Devitt says. 

One thing that makes Devitt very 
happy is that the juvenile problem is 
light. "Sure we have the kids who break 
and enter cabins, but dope and the major 
crimes by juveniles that you hear and 
read about in other sections of the state 
are virtually non-existent in Santa Cruz 
county. 

Despite being one of the chief political 
figures in the county for the past 20 years, 
Devitt does not believe the sheriff's office 
should be an elective one. "It is my be- 
lief," he claims, "that the sheriff should 
be an appointive official just as most chief 
of police are now selected. 

He points out that every four years a 
sheriff must forget his official duties for 
several months to campaign. "It makes 
an officer more vulnerable if he must de- 
pend on politics to retain his job," De- 
vitt says. 

Devitt not only believes that his office 
should be appointive, but it is his belief 
that in coming years law enforcement of- 
ficials will need far more formal educa- 
tion than is now required. 

"I can see the day," he states, "when 
every deputy sherii? and police officer will 
need a college degree. \Vhy some forces 
already demand police training before 
they hire a man, and 1 think it is a great 
thing." 

But before the public can demand col- 
lege trained personnel, Devitt says the\- 
must be accustomed to higher salaries. 
"You can't expect a man who has spent 
a lar,';e sum of money for his education to 
take a position that hardly provides a de- 
cent standard of living," he says. 

Devitt points out his own office as a 
good example. "We have a 50 per cent 
turnover in personnel every year, and it 
isn't because of the job or working con- 
ditions. The county of Santa Cruz, and 
most other counties are also guilty, just 
don't pay enough to keep good men," he 
says.

The veteran law enforcement official 
believes it is false economy to pay low 
salaries. "Because of it," he says, "we are 
forced to spend a great deal of time and 
money on training the constant stream of 
new personnel." 

Santa Cruz county has not produced a 
great number of headline crime cases 
during the past 20 years, but one murder 
has become famous, and Sheriff Devitt 
played a large part in it. 

We're speaking of the McMonigle 
murder case, one of the few murder con- 
victions obtained when no trace of the 
body was ever found. 

McMonigle was convicted of killing a 
15-year-old Campbell high school girl in 
1945 somewhere in Santa Cruz county, 
and throwing her body down "Devil's 
Slide " in San Mateo county. 

Sheriff's Devitt and his staff trailed 
more than 1000 miles on various confes- 
sions made by the San Jose man on where 
he buried the body. 

Now that his days of work are num- 
bered, Devitt is making plans on how to 
spend his retirement. He expects to do 
quite a bit of traveling, though he still 
hasn't made any definite plans. "I do 
plan, though," he said, "to make sure to 
visit those spots where the fish are 
biting." 



FULL HEADLIGHTS 

Don't drive with only your parking 
lights at daybreak or dusk, advises the 
National Automobile Club. A poorly 
lighted car can be as great a danger as a 
car with no lights at ail. If lights seem 
necessary, full headlights should be used. 



COLOR VALUE 

Light colored and highly transparent 
motor oils are obtained by certain refin- 
ing processes, according to the National 
Automobile Club. The color of an oil is 
of little value to the consumer for judg- 
ing its value as an engine lubricant but 
should assist in the detection of dirt or 
other foreign material. There is no 
known relation between color and serv- 
ice performance. 



KEY NUMBERS 

The back of the automobile registra- 
tion card makes a fine place on which to 
write down the numbers of the vehicle's 
various keys, points out the National 
Automobile Club. The card usually is 
handv.

cal — ways to insure a higher degree of 
safety in your home is to build one of the 
Safety Council recommended housekeep- 
ing closets. 

"In this good looking cabinet that you 
can build yourself you can store most of 
the principal hazards to your children. 
Remember, more than 1700 little ones die 
each year because some adult left a gun, 
some paint thinner, ammonia, lye, or an- 
other deadly poison in a spot easily reach- 
ed by a child," says Arnold E. Archibald, 
president of the San Francisco Chapter of 
the National Safety Council. 

The housekeeping closet is designed to 
hold all of the more dangerous household 
items in addition to serving as an ade- 
quate storeplace for brooms, brushes, car- 
pet sweepers, and a host of other items 
that contribute to many home falls, Mr. 
Archibald reports. 

"Lock up your home hazards in this 
neatly designed closet and remove temp- 
tation from your children. Permanent 
disfigurement or death is too great a 
price for them to pay for curiosity that 
you can eliminate by spending a few dol- 
lars and a few hours time," reminds Mr. 
Archibald. 

Write today to the San Francisco 
Chapter, National Safety Council, 28 
Geary Street, San Francisco 8, Califor- 
nia, and ask for the free plans and de- 
scription of the "safety" designed house- 
keeping closet.

past year. Through intelligent conclu- 
sions and smart interrogation, they were 
able to prove that Clarence had con- 
spired with his father, Henry, to murder 
his mother. Henry is now awaiting exe- 
cution and Clarence is in the custody of 
the juvenile authority. 

Farther down the county Chief John 
J. Viarengo of Turlock is doing an out- 
standing job of maintaining law and or- 
der. The 1953 report of the Stanislaus 
County Grand Jury, which was not too 
complimentary to some prisons, declared : 

"The Turlock jail is outstanding as to 
excellence of arrangement, maintenance 
and administration, particularly in rela- 
tion to the manner in which the criminal 
and identification records are kept. 

The department and the auxiliary 
earned the praise by overhauling the old 
jail in 1951 and 1952. Members, work- 
ing on their own time, partitioned the 
office with sand blasted ph'wood. They 
divided the cavernous old station into an 
office for the chief, an interrogation room 
and reception room. 

Keeping of proper criminal and iden- 
tification records is relatively new also, 
being introduced by the former chief, 
Harry L. Oliver, and Chief John Vi- 
arengo. 

By introduction of complex filing rec- 
ords, an officer now can put his finger 
on the record of any man booked at the 
jail. 

The department also makes use of 
Federal Bureau of Investigation infor- 
mation on criminals and criminal activi- 
ties, taking full advantage of the services 
offered by FBI in all phases of crime de- 
tection. 



DEFECTIVE MUFFLER 

A clogged muffier or a bent muffler 
tail pipe on your car can create sufficient 
back pressure to cause poor engine per- 
formance, states the California State 
Automobile Association. 



ADJUST HEADLIGHTS 

Keep your headlights properly adjust- 
ed so that the lower beams are not aimed 
upward into the approaching driver's 
eyes, advises the California State Auto- 
mobile Association. If in doubt about the 
adjustment of the headlights on your 
automobile, have them checked at an offi- 
cial Light Testing station. 

GOOD VISIBILITY 

Keep your windshield glass and head- 
light lenses clean and windshield wipers 
in top working condition, says the Cali- 
fornia State Automobile Association.

J ust a Feiv Notes Here and There 
One of my first notes concerns Gloria 
Norton and to my mind there isn't a 
better all-around woman pistol shot in 
the whole dog-gone U.S.A. In looking 
over the list of women champions I was 
particularly interested in the records that 
Gloria holds or has tied. Out of 19 rec- 
ords, she now holds 1 1 and is tied in two 
others which leaves just six records that 
she does not have. It should be noted that 
some of the records she does not hold are 
matches she has not ben able to shoot in 
— take for instance the .45 slow, rapid 
and timed matches, which matches are 
not fired at any of the registered ranges 
around her part of the country but I do 
feel certain that if she were to participate 
in any of these matches a few more rec- 
ords would be in her name. Here enters 
one of the things the shooters would love 
to see but mayhap never will. In the 
southern part of the state a new woman 
pistol champ has risen but her forte is the 
.45 cannon and her scores are really re- 
markable. She holds plenty of .45 records 
and that she does shoot this big handgim 
well is clearly shown by looking over the 
record book. A match between this .45 
champ. Peg Culbertson and Gloria 
would really be something. But here is 
the rub. It seems as tho Gloria had to 
give up real pistol competition for two 
very good reasons, the first is that she is 
a housewife with a family to care for ; 
secondly, the expenses of entering and 
practicing for the matches, as you well 
know, all takes a lot of the long green. It 
just doesn't seem right that right here in 
our own back yard we have the finest 
woman shot in the country and we are 
unable to see her perform in real compe- 
tition due to expenses — and many others 
of us find ourselves in the same boat. 
Why couldn't Gloria's home town of 
^Voodland Chamber of Commerce send 
her to the Regionals — just think of the 
wonderful notices Woodland could get 
from such a gesture. It kinda leaves me 
stumped as just what to do in such a case 
and I was wondering if any of the shoot- 
ers had some ideas on the subject.

Speaking of the .45 cannon brings 
another notation on the calendar. I have 
been asked, mostly by new shooters, why, 
for instance, does a sharpshooter or ex- 
pert drop down one class lower when the 
.45 match is on ? The explanation is very 
simple especially if you shoot the .45 gun. 
The .45 is a ruff, tuff, rip-snortin' gun to 
handle and in order to give the shooters a 
break they are allowed to drop back one 
class until such time as they can climb 
back to their higher classification and be- 
lieve me, brother, that takes a long, long 
time — sometime. 

I see by the amount of material already 
given out I am about out of space so will 
close with just this one more question 
asked at the last San Francisco match. 
What is the meaning of the open class 
and who gets into it, especially as they 
have the master class ? Some explanation 
is in order. The open class is just what it 
says — open to all classes for the top prize 
of the match. Just supposing that a 
marksman get real hot and shoots the 
highest score of the match he may elect 
to take the top medal in the open class or 
the first place medal in the marksman 
class, just as he chooses. This same goes 
for any other class to the shooter having 
the highest scores. The open class is used 
in San Francisco but there is no open 
class around these parts other than S. F.

deliberately and by watching carefully 
for the signals of others.

INSTRUCTOR'S SCHOOL 

High school teachers of driver educa- 
tion will study the newest developments 
in all aspects of highway transportation 
during a two-week course, June 21 to 
July 2, conducted at the 'Frafific Institute 
of Northwestern University in Evanston, 
Illinois. 

1 he seminar for driver education 
teachers will be under the direction of 
F. R. Noffsinger, who is in charge of 
course development at the Traffic In- 
stitute. He was formerly dean of the 
School of Commerce of St. Louis Uni- 
versity and pioneered in training teachers 
in driver education when he was educa- 
tion consultant for the American Auto- 
mobile Association. 

1 he course, said Mr. Noffsinger, will 
enrich the teacher's knowledge and add 
new meaning to the teaching of driving 
both in and out of the classroom. 

"Eighty-five per cent of traffic acci- 
dents today are related to faulty driving," 
said Mr. Noffsinger. "Thorough driver 
education will greatly reduce this per- 
centage, and cut down the accident rate. 
This is largely the job of the driver edu- 
cation teachers." 

Topics to be presented in the seminar 
for driver education teachers will be: 

Recent Findings in the Nature and 
Characteristics of the Dri\er. 

New Problems and Solutions in 1 raf- 
fic Engineering. 

The Advance of Driver Licensing. 

Programs of Driver Improvement. 

Latest Trends in Motor Vehicle De- 
sign and Construction.

fic Safety.

Additional sessions will be devoted to 
the discussion of the material presented 
in terms of its use in teaching driver edu- 
cation in the high schools. 

Leading traffic authorities who will 
present the various topics include: J. 
Stannard Baker, director of research, 
Traffic Institute; George W. Barton, 
traffic engineering consultant; George C. 
Bowers, director of field service, Traffic 
Division, International Association of 
Chiefs of Police, and Traffic Institute 
staff including: Gerald O'Connell, di- 
rector of training; Glenn V. Carmichael, 
assistant director of Training, and 
Robert L. Donigan, Counsel. 



DEATH ON WRONG SIDE 

Traffic fatalities resulting from driv- 
ing on the wrong side of the road have 
almost tripled during the past five years. 

Truth of this statement is borne out 
by a review of California Highway Pa- 
trol accident reports for the past few 
years. In 1949 driving on the wrong side 
of the road accounted for 4.2 per cent 
of total violations in fatal accidents. Last 
year this percentage jumped to 11. The 
increase has been steady during the past 
five years. 

Patrol Commisioner B. R. Caldwell 
pointed out that these drivers were not 
in the act of passing cars nor swerving to 
avoid other accidents, again emphasizing 
the human frailties in individual cases. 

"Drowsiness, drunkenness, fatigue, and 
inattention are among the reasons for 
this increase in serious accidents of this 
type," he explained. 

"Any motorists who feels ill, sleepy, 
or unable to concentrate on driving, 
should pull immediately to the side of the 
road and park off the highway. A nap, a 
cup of coffee, or some exercise will head 
off the trouble before it starts. 

"It seems almost unbelievable that 
eleven per cent of the violations noted in 
fatal collisions last year were for driving 
on the wrong side of the road. Among 
the first instructions a beginning driver 
receives is to stay on the right side of the 
road," Caldwell declared. 



KNOW YOUR NOISES 

In the lexicon of the automobile me- 
chanic, according to the National Auto- 
mobile Club, a squeak is recognized as 
an urgent demand for oil, a rattle the 
product of looseness, and a hum a very 
fast rattle with the individual beats so 
closely spaced as to produce a sound that 
is not unmusical even though it is excep- 
tionally irritating.

McCLURE LEAVES BEAT 

A month or so after San Francisco 
Examiner reporter Stuart McClure re- 
turned from World War II Infantry 
service in Europe his city editor called 
him up to his desk. 

"Mac," he said, "I want you to go 
down to the Hall of Justice and cover 
the night police beat for a couple of weeks 
until we get some one to fill in perma- 
nently." 

Last month, more than seven years 
later, McClure, 38, turned in his special 
police reporter's star to Chief Michael 
Gaffey and left the Examiner's employ 
to enter the political arena as a candidate 
at the June 8th primary election for the 
First District Board of Equalization seat 
now held by George R. Reilly. 

During the years intervening, Mc- 
Clure served with three police chiefs in 
addition to Gaffey — Dullea, Riordan and 
Mitchell — and became known to the en- 
tire San Francisco force and to many 
other law enforcement officers in the Bay 
Area as a fair-minded, thoroughly com- 
petent reporter. 




Stuart McClure 

In turning in his badge and credentials 
as a special police officer, a status held by 
all San Francisco newsmen who regularly 
cover the police beat, McClure, in a for- 
mal statement to the Chief, said in part : 

"It has been a great pleasure as well as 
a great honor to serve with you. The San 
Francisco Police Department is deserving 
of the outstanding reputation which it 
has throughout the nation for its high 
level of efficiency in all phases of police

work. I have learned a great deal while 
working with you and will always carry 
with me the highest respect for you and 
your Department. 

"Please extend to your officers and men 
on my behalf my genuine apprecia- 
tion for their cooperation and assistance 
throughout the years of my work with 
them. I wish you and them the best of 
everything for the future." 

McClure first entered the newspaper 
field 15 years ago this month in the classi- 
fied advertising department of the Ex- 
aminer, subsequently moving as a report- 
er to the old San Jose Mercury Herald 
where he also covered police, and then 
returning as a reporter to the Examiner 
about a year before entering \Vorld ^Var 
II military service. 

Recent highlight of this outstanding 
newspaperman's career was the receipt in 
January of the Pall Mall Award for 
"distinguished service in the field of jour- 
nalism" and the radio dramatization of 
his work with San Francisco homicide 
Inspectors Al Nelder and John O'Haire 
in the apprehension of Robert Ranson, 
19-year old juvenile gang leader who shot 
five youths in Civic Center following a 
ball at the Civic Auditorium two years 
ago. 

He was also involved closely with the 
press coverage of the recent $500,000 
Moskovitz kidnaping, having been on 
duty at the Hall of Justice both at the 
time the story first broke and in the early 
morning hours several silent days later 
when the young real estate broker was re- 
covered unharmed. 

Throughout his years of newspapering, 
McClure has maintained a lively interest 
in the affairs of his community and State, 
playing an active role in more than a 
score of activities designed to improve 
existing conditions. 

Initially active in the veterans' move- 
ment as a Post commander and State 
officer of the Veterans of Foreign Wars 
and a member of the American Legion 
and the "Veterans Political Council, he 
turned to partisan politics and became 
successively a member, and in some cases 
an officer, of the Young Republicans, 
the Republican Assembly, the San Fran- 
cisco Republican County Central Com- 
mittee and the Republican State Central 
Committee. 

At the same time he has been active in 
the local unit of the CIO American 
Newspaper Guild and in such organiza- 
tions as the World Affairs Council of 
Northern California, the San Francisco 
Council for Civic Unity and the San 
Francisco Planning and Housing Asso- 
ciation. Chairman of the board of Trus- 
tees of the Lucinda Weeks Foundation

for Handicapped Children, he is also a 
former director of the San Francisco 
Press and Union League Club and vice 
chairman of the Federal Rent Advisory 
Board for the San Francisco Area. 

McClure is also known in the seven- 
county First District, which encompasses 
San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, 
Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Benito and 
San Luis Obispo Counties, as a staff offi- 
cer of Northern California's 49th Na- 
tional Guard Division and as a former 
officer of the alumni association of the 
University of California, from which he 
was graduated in 1937. 

A member of the Native Sons of the 
Golden West, he is the grandson of the 
late A. A. Moore, pioneer Northern 
California atorney and early day district 
attorney of Alameda County, where his 
father, Donald McClure, also served as 
a deputy district attorney with Chief 
Justice Earl \Varren following World 
War I. His Great-grandfather, Richard 
A. McClure of Mission San Jose, served 
in the California Legislature during the 
1870's. The newsman-turned politico is 
married, the father of 3 boys and a girl 
and resides at 2700 Scott St., San Fran- 



COLD ENGINE 

Contamination of the oil in the crank- 
case occurs much more rapidly in an auto- 
mobile engine that is not driven far 
enough to thoroughly warm it up, the 
California State Automobile Association 
states. The automatic choke with which 
most engines are equipped causes raw fuel 
to reach the crankcase when the engine is 
cold. Furthermore, condensed moisture 
and gasoline on cold cylinder walls drains 
into the crankcase where it is eventually 
converted to sludge by combining with 
other materials. 



CAR LOOTERS 

Valuables should always be removed 
from an automobile left standing for any 
length of time, particularly at night, 
urges the California State Automobile 
Association. Car looting is increasing and 
thieves who take cameras, clothing, suit- 
cases and other expensive items from 
automobiles, are difficult to apprehend 
and the stolen goods rarely recovered. 
Don't leave easily lifted articles in the 
car, even if it is locked. 



STOP FENDERIZING 

Dents and nicks on fenders indicate 
careless driving. Drivers can stop "fen- 
derizing" one another b>' driving with 
more courtesy and carefulness, advises 
California State Automobile Association.

CONFERENCE SLATED 

\Villiani M. \Vhelan, Special Agent 
in Charge of the San Francisco Office of 
the Federal Bureau of Investigation, an- 
nounced recently that an FBI Law En- 
forcement Conference on Interstate 
Transportation of Stolen Property will 
be held in April in San Francisco. 

Whelan said more than 100 confer- 
ences of this type have been scheduled 
this year by the FBI on a regional basis 
throughout the United States and are de- 
signed to cover confidence game swindles, 
fraudulent checks, major thefts and other 
varied violations which fall within the 
classification of interstate transportation 
of stolen property. I he conferences will 
be aimed at bringing about additional co- 
orination among law enforcement agen- 
cies and improved efficiency in dealing 
with these crimes. They will be operated 
on a forum basis providing for a mutual 
exchange of information and knowledge 
by all participants. 

Whelan illustrated the importance of 
the meetings by pointing out that the 
FBI's investigative activity under the In- 
terstate Transportation of Stolen Prop- 
erty Statute has increased greatly during 
the past several years. For example, he 
said there were 407 convictions resulting 
from FBI cases in this category during 
the 1953 fiscal year, an increase of 15 per 
cent o\er the preceding year. He stated 
he feels the conferences will be of much 
value to law enforcement agencies, not 
only in this area, but throughout the 
country. 

Although the conferences will cover 
numerous types of crimes, AVhelan said 
the three main phases of discussion will 
concern fraudulent checks, confidence 
game swindles, and major thefts. 

In the panel on fraudulent checks, the 
discussion will include information con- 
cerning the methods of operation most 
often used by bad check artists, the juris- 
diction of the FBI, the cooperative role 
of the FBI's Laboratory and Identifica- 
tion Division, and the availability of the 
FBI's National Fraudulent Check File 
to local authorities in a criminal case even 
though a Federal violation may not be 
involved. 

The discussion on confidence game 
swindles will relate closely to the major 
theft panel, since interstate transporta- 
tion of more than $5,000 often is in- 
voKed in the dubious dealings of the 
"con man." 

The panel on major thefts, Mr. Whe- 
lan said, will provide for an explanation 
of the facilities of the FBI which are 
available for the use of local authorities 
in investigating such cases. In addition, it 
will be pointed out that the FBI will en- 
ter into acti\e investigation any time

there i.s an indication that stolen property 
or stolen currency having a value of 
$5,000 or more has been moved in inter- 
state commerce. Specialized thefts, such 
as jewels and furs, as well as the activity 
of "fences" of stolen property, also will 
be covered on the agenda. 

Whelan said this conference will be at- 
tended by local, state and county law en- 
forcement officers, FBI personnel, repre- 
sentatives from banks, hotel associations 
and business groups, and officials from 
other interested organizations. 

According to Special Agent in Charge 
Whelan, the FBI has held similar con- 
ferences throughout the country for the 
past two years. In 1952, there were 131 
auto theft conferences which were at- 
tended by 8,707 individuals representing 
3,121 agencies. There were 133 confer- 
ences in 1953 on thefts from interstate 
shipment. They were attended by 8,702 
persons representing 4,159 agencies. 



CARS IN CALIFORNIA 

A grand total of 225,811 motor ve- 
hicles entered California during the 
month of January, 1954, according to the 
National Automobile Club. Of this total, 
which is just 577 vehicles less than that 
for January, 1953, 200,041 were passen- 
ger cars, 22,085 were commercial trucks,

If a driver is involved in a traffic acci- 
dent in which there is death or injury on 
any highway outside an incorporated city, 
an immediate call to the nearest office of 
the California Highway Patrol will 
bring expert assistance. Such emergency 
calls can be made collect. 

"This reminder is issued because in- 
formation arriving at Headquarters in- 
dicates that many recent accidents occur- 
ring in unincorporated areas have not 
been promptly reported," stated B. R. 
Caldwell, Patrol Commissioner. 

"In order to help motorists, offices of 
the Highwa\' Patrol will accept charges 
on incoming calls reporting accidents," 
he aded. 

The law states that any driver in- 
volved in an accident in which there is 
death or personal injury must report the 
accident in writing to the Highway Pa- 
trol within 24 hours provided the acci- 
dent occurs outside the limits of any city. 

In the event that the driver of any 
vehicle is unable to report the accident 
and there is another occupant in the ve- 
hicle, that occupant shall report the acci- 
dent or cause the report to be made. 

These required reports are in addition 
to Financial Responsibility reports or 
others that are required to be submitted.

HAYES HEADS DRIVE 

Arthur Hull Hayes, vice president of 
the Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc., 
will direct the planned expanded 1954 
accident prevention fund raising cam- 
paign of the San Francisco Chapter of 
the National Safety Council, Arnold E. 
Archibald, president of the Chapter, an- 
nounced recently. 

Hayes was appointed general chairman 
for the drive following a special meeting 
of the Council Board of Directors where 
it was decided to place the problem of 
financial aid for the Chapter squarely 
before the public in a city-wide campaign. 

Archibald reports that the present fi- 
nancial support for the Green Cross 
work here in San Francisco is received 
mainly through business and industrial 
memberships. 

I he Safety Council plans to expand its 
activities in 1954, but the present mem- 
berships are not sufficient within them- 
selves to meet the increased demands for 
accident prevention. Because the public 
benefits most from National Safety 
Council activities the Board decided that 
a general appeal must be made to meet 
the increased safety problems facing San 
Francisco. 

Upon accepting the appointment as 
general chairman Hayes stated : 

' If we are to fight the growing menace 
of accidents in our city, with its after- 
math of tragedy and expense, we must 
place in the hands of our Safety Council, 
the financial weapons with which to do 
the job. The San Francisco Chapter is 
not subsidized by any governmental or- 
ganization, nor does it receive aid from 
welfare organizations. Yet the National 
Safety Council is the only organization 
of its kind that has received a federal 
charter recognizing the work it does in 
saving lives. 

"Industry and business, which have 
long recognized the need for the council, 
should not be asked to bear all the fi- 
nancal burden for such a comprehensive 
program which in reality is beneficial to 
rvrrNone." 

"\Vhen jou consider that the Safety 
Council has been largely responsible for 
consistently reducing the accident death 
r.-ite in San Francisco since the local 
c'lanter was founded in 1945, it becomes 
obvious that this vitally needed life-sav- 
'ng activity deserves the support of every- 
one. For safety is everybody's job," 
Haves said. 

The community-wide campaign will 
embrace the various civic bodies, clubs, 
fraternal groups and organizations, racial 
and minority groups, professions, etc.

JUNE 1ST DEADLINE 

June 1 is the deadline for applying for 
grant-in-aid awards for the 1954-55 
Traffic Police Administration Training 
Program conducted by the Traffic In- 
stitute of Northwestern University, 
Franklin M. Kreml, director, has an- 
nounced. 

Applications are now being accepted 
for this nine-month training program at 
the Traffic Institute, 1704 Judson Ave., 
Evanston, 111. The program begins Sep- 
tember 23, 1954, and continues through 
June 13, 1955. 

Funds for sixteen $1,650 fellowships 
and sixteen $500 tuition scholarships 
have been provided by the Kemper Foun- 
dation for Traffic Safety, Chicago, 111., 
to enable police departments to send 
qualified officers for training in the execu- 
tion of effective traffic supervision and 
accident prevention programs. 

"To increase the possibility of having 
a man selected from their departments, 
police chiefs who are interested are en- 
couragd to permit all policemen of the 
rank of sergeant and above to submit 
applications to them," said Air. Kreml. 
"If they need help in establishing a basis 
for evaluating these applicants. Traffic 
Institute staff members will be glad to 
assist them," 

Eight fellowships and eight scholar- 
ships are provided for municipal police 
officers. \ he same number are awarded 
to state and county officers. A limited 
number of qualified students will be ad- 
mitted on a tuition-paying basis. 

The training program, designed es- 
pecially for stafif and command traffic 
personnel comprises four major areas of 
study and activity: 1 ) Problems in High- 
way Transportation, and the agencies 
concerned with these problems ; )2 Func- 
tions of Traffic Police, covering accident 
investigation, traffic law enforcement, 
and traffic direction; 3) Management of 
Police Traffic Services; and 4) general 
education courses which are arranged to 
increase the competence of the student 
and to provide answers to problems in 
traffic police management which are 
found in the fields of psychology, eco- 
nomics, sociology, and political science. 

The program consists of classroom 
work, supplemented by field laboratory, 
and study projects, and guidance and 
specialized conferences. 

Factors which are considered in the 
selection of police department representa- 
tives and granting of awards are: 1 ) the 
applicant's ability and potential useful- 
ness to his department; 2) the extent of 
the accident and congestion problem in 
his city or state; 3) the need of the de- 
partment for trained personnel, and 4)

his department's plans for the profitable 
use of his training to further improve its 
traffic supervision program. 

To be eligible to compete for admis- 
sion and for award consideration, the 
applicants must : 1 ) be not more than 45 
years of age; 2) be a police officer in 
active service in a municipal, township, 
county, state, or provincial department ; 
3) have at least three years of police e.\- 
perience; 4) have the approval of his 
chief ; 5) be assured of a leave of absence 
— or equivalent temporary status — from 
his department, during which his salary 
will be paid ; 6) have the assurance of his 
superior that he will be returned to ac- 
tive service upon completing the pro- 
gram ; 7) agree to return to his depart- 
ment for at least three years, and 8) be 
in good health and physically fit. 

The Kemper Foundation for Traffic 
Safety has been one of the principal sup- 
porters of the Traffic Institute since it 
was established in 193b. More than 700 
men have attended the twenty-eight pre- 
vious courses in traffic police administra- 
tion. Nearly 4,000 judges and prose- 
cutors, driver training instructors, motor 
vehicle fleet supervisors, chief driver li- 
cense e.xaminers, and military personnel 
have attended short courses, conferences, 
and seminars at the Traffic Institute. 



SIGNS ALONG HIGHWAY 

Signs along our highways are posted 
to warn you of dangers ahead, advises the 
National Automobile Club. Read them, 
heed them, and keep yourself safe. 

KEEP TO THE RIGHT 

Whether you're on a three, four or six 
lane highway, the California State Auto- 
mobile Association urges you to drive in 
the right-hand lane unless you are pass- 
ing another vehicle. It's safer and if 
others are driving faster than you, the 
law requires you to keep to the right 
even if you're driving at limit speed. 



TRY OTHER FILAMENT 

The odds are that both filaments of a 
headlight bulb have not burned out at 
the same time, points out the National 
Automobile Club. Rather than drive 
with only one light, switch to the beam 
that provides that both lights will oper- 
ate. 



BEFORE ADOBE BRICKS 

The present method in the use of 
adobe bricks for building purposes in 
New Mexico, according to the National 
Automobile Club, was preceded by the 
ancient process of puddling the "mud" 
into the walls in stratified layers.

APRIL FIRST 

Practical joke players abound in every 
community. Their friends and acquaint- 
ances are generally on the alert for them, 
and occasionally turn the joke on their 
prankful friend. But, it is quite different 
in the case of the crude amateurs who 
operate only on April 1st of each year. 

Some of this latter class do really go 
far beyond the funny stage and cause 
trouble and expense in addition to loss of 
valuable time spent visiting designated 
persons or places. 

The Police Department is unwittingly 
a factor in many shallow April 1st jokes. 

The joker gives his victim the Police 
Department telephone number and in- 
structions to call: Mr. Kopp, Flatty, et 
cetera. 

Many of the victims telephoning the 
Police Department for: Mr. Sargent, 
Kopp, Kaboose, Gunn, Cuffs, Coffin, or 
Lamorgue, sense the joke instantly, laugh 
heartily, and tell the police officer an- 
swering the telephone they will remem- 
ber not to be caught again next year. But, 
about the other victims ? 

To some people a joke is a deadly 
wrong, and quite a large percentage of 
April 1st joke victims on police station 
phones could definitely have a Code 
charge placed against them for the siz- 
zling things they yell when they happen 
to ring in and ask for one of the gentle- 
men mentioned above. 



HELP THE BOY 

"Help a boy to help himself", we say — 

Ah, a wonderful thought and a wonder- 
ful way. 

To make the alloy that shall take the 
pure gold. 

Of his heart, of his dreams, of his ener- 
gies bold. 

And mix with the brass of his courage 
and nerve 

And the steel of his muscles and make 
them all serve. 

Give those fingers a chance to pick out 

what will win him, 
Give those muscles a chance to develop 

within him. 
Give the heart the right beat, and 'twill 

need no repression. 
Give the brain the right thought and 

'twill find full expression. 
Give this and the soil of the street will 

not stain 
The body, the hands, the heart or the 

brain. 

Do this and the boy by this definite plan 
Is transmuted in God's human mint to 
a Man.

SHORT COURSES 

Two basic functions of traffic police — 
accident investigation and traffic law en- 
forcement — will be covered this spring in 
two short courses conducted at the Traf- 
fic Institute of Northwestern University 
in Evanston, 111. 

The first of these courses, "Accident 
Investigation — Administration and 
Techniques," will be offered April 26 to 
May 14. "Traffic Law Enforcement — 
Administration and Techniques" will be 
conducted May 10 to 28. 

Men wishing to broaden their study of 
the traffic problem may attend both 
courses. The five days in which the two 
courses overlap are devoted to the same 
general subject, so that those who are 
finishing the course in Accident Investi- 
gation will be able to enroll in the second 
course without missing any material. 

The Accident Investigation course is 
open to commanding officers of traffic di- 
visions, and officers or potential officers 
in charge of accident investigation. 

"Before a good job of preventing acci- 
dents can be done," said Franklin M. 
Kreml, director of the Traffic Institute, 
"a city or state must first have the facts 
about how many traffic accidents are oc- 
curring in the community. He must know 
where, when and why they happen." 

"These facts can be obtained through 
good accident investigation by trained 
police officers. This course is offered to 
teach police officers to train their men in 
accident investigation and to organize, 
direct and supervise accident investiga- 
tion." 

Some topics covered in the course are : 
nature of traffic accidents and their 
causes, purposes of accident investigation, 
investigating late-reported accidents, fa- 
tal and hit-and-run investigation. 

Determining speed from skidmarks, in- 
terrogation of suspects and witnesses, pre- 
paration of cases and court work, and 
uses of the accident report form also are 
included. 

Students will be taught to reconstruct 
an accident to determine the cause, to 
train the investigator, and to organize 
and equip an accident investigation unit. 
"Equally valuable for traffic inipro\e- 
meiit is the traffic law enforcement 
course," said Kremy. "This course will 
give the student information which will 
help his police department to make the 
best possible use of the manpower avail- 
able." 

Included in the enforcement courses 
are: reasons for traffic law enforcement, 
essentials of traffic law, and tactics, tech- 
niques, policies, measurement and organi- 
zation of enforcement.

ROAD PROBLEM 

Something like the man in the story 
who jumped on his horse and rode off in 
all directions, the American motorist can 
get behind the wheel of his car and drive 
oft in almost any direction. Roads lead 
everywhere and these roads are in every 
stage of repair and disrepair. Keeping 
this vast network up to date, points out 
the National Automobile Club, keeping 
this vast network capable of handling 
the ever increasing volume of traffic, is 
really quite a problem. 

Thoroughly aware that this problem 
existed, the engineers and experts of fed- 
eral and state government got their heads 
together as early as 1934, and started a 
nation-wide highway survey that has 
since become a permanent activity. This 
survey has revealed many important facts 
about where and when the traffic is roll- 
ing and just how intensely. 

^Vith the facts before them and road 
planning no longer a matter of vague 
speculation and personal whim, the engi- 
neers wasted little time in getting their 
plans down on paper. These plans call 
for expressways that will run under or 
over cross streets in the large city areas, 
will loop around the downtown districts 
to avoid congestion, and will carry as 
much as five times the traffic that ordi- 
nary streets will carry. They also call 
for the streamlining and modernizing of 
thousands of miles of rural roads that 
have been gradually becoming obsolete. 

But it isn't merely a matter of having 
plans down on paper. Construction has 
been under way for many years now, 
more than seventy-one thousand miles of 
high type surface roads were built in the 
eleven years from 1941 to 1951 inclusive, 
and the huge roadbuilding industry that 
has been built up under the private con- 
tract system with competitive bidding is 
bringing the job giant scrapers and pow- 
er shovels that can fill up valleys and 
level hills in almost a matter of days. 
With the latest equipment, a modern 
paving crew can turn out a mile of new 
surfacing in one working week. 

All over the country new roads and 
new road surfaces are coming into exist- 
ence. Blasting out rocks and shoving 
around great mountains of top soil, con- 
struction crews are bringing to the Amer- 
ican scene a system of roads that will gi\e 
ever greater efficiency to our travel, ever 
greater safety to our driving, and will 
link the remotest hamlets with the great- 
est cities.

LICENSING COURSE 

A three-week course, "Examiner Rec- 
ords and l^heir Uses," will be offered by 
the American Association of Motor Ve- 
hicle Administrators April 26 to May 14 
in Evanston, 111., for men responsible for 
driver licensing in their states, L. S. 
Harris, e.xecutive director of the AAM 
VA, has announced. 

"Today's increased horsepower, traffic 
volume, and more highway problems de- 
mand a better grade of drivers," said Mr. 
Harris. "It is necessary to screen drivers 
so that only those who are qualified will 
be facing these problems." 

Tuition scholarships for the course 
are given by the Farmers Insurance 
Group Safety Foundation of Los An- 
geles. The course is conducted by the 
Traffic Institute of Northwestern Uni- 
versity, 1704 Judson Ave., Evanston, 111. 

"Comprehensive records which show 
the need for changes and which disclose 
the necessary research data for improved 
procedures are needed to improve stand- 
ards in examining drivers," according to 
Mr. Harris. 

"Examiner Records and l^heir Uses" 
is the final unit of the chief driver li- 
cense examiner program which has been 
conducted by the Traffic Institute over 
a four-year period. Participants in it who 
have attended the three previous units 
will complete 400 hours of specialized 
college-level instruction in the adminis- 
tration of driver license examining. The 
first unit, held in March, 1951, was "Ad- 
ministration of Driver License Examina- 
tions." Unit III, "Selection and Train- 
ing of Driver License Examiners," was 
conducted in May, 1953. The series will 
begin again in 1955. 

Subjects to be covered in the unit 
given this spring include: analysis of 
operations for record purposes, reports 
of examinations, record and report, sum- 
maries, and annual and other special re- 
ports. 

How problems are revealed and sug- 
gestions made for courses of action based 
on records, preparation of data for analy- 
sis, rates, percentages, charts, graphs, and 
tables are also covered. 

The course is under the direction of 
Glenn V. Carmichael, assistant director 
of the training division of the Traffic In- 
stitute and one of the country's foremost 
authorities on driver license examiner 
training. He will be assisted by Paul C. 
Keller of the Institute staff who was 
formerly driver licensing specialist for 
the Utah State Department of Public 
Safety.

DEATH HOURS 

Watch out during the "death hours" 
— from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. 

This four hour period is listed by the 
San Francisco Chapter of the National 
Safety Council as the most hazardous for 
pedestrians and motorists — day in and 
day out — through the year. 

Of the 67 traffic deaths listed here last 
year, 24 occurred during this four hour 
span, Arnold E. Archibald, Chapter 
president, reported. Seventeen of the vic- 
tims were pedestrians, he said. 

1 his compares with sixteen deaths 
(eight of them pedestrians) through the 
10-hour period between 7:00 a.m. and 
5 :00 p.m. when foot and motor vehicle 
traffic is far heavier, Archibald pointed 
out. 

"Higher speeds, reduced visibility, and 
reckless night-time habits combine to in- 
crease the hazards and the death rate," 
the safety leader said. 

Archibald urged motorists and pedes- 
trians to use "extreme care" when driv- 
ing or walking during the "death hour" 
period. "The record here is similar to 
that for other cities and in most rural 
areas." he said. "There seems to be a 
universal let down in carefulness during 
the time when most care is needed. Mo- 
torists gain a sense of false security from 
the reduced flow of traffic and instead of 
dropping their speed below the posted 
limits they are inclined to get a 'heav\- 
foot'." 

The Safety Council official added: 
"Pedestrians forget that they cannot be 
seen so well at night and step in front 
of fast moving cars. This combination of 
speed, carelessness, and limited \isibility 
leads to the unusually high death toll be- 
tween 10 p.m. and 2 a.m." 



BEST BEHAVIOR 

California drivers last year were on 
their best driving behavior since 1950 ac- 
cording to official statistics released to- 
day by the California Highway Patrol. 

There were 3,371 traffic fatalities dur- 
ing 1953 compared to 3,562 in 1952. Of 
these, 2,342 were suffered in unincor- 
porated areas of the state while 1 ,029 
occurred within corporate cities. 

Total injuries were also below the 
1952 figures with 106,427 persons in- 
jured in traffic during 1953 as compared 
to 110,874 in 1952, a reduction of 4,447. 

The mileage death rate, based on the 
number of fatalities per each hundred- 
million miles of travel, dropped from 7.4 
in 1952 to 6.6 in 1953, an all time low 
for California, according to available 
records.

BOULEVARD & BYWAY 

I he American automobile seems to be 
getting better and better and each time 
you buy a new model you will invariably 
find some change in design that makes 
for greater safety or greater convenience. 
All this improvement, points out the Na- 
tional Automobile Club, just doesn't hap- 
pen by accident but is the result of care- 
ful research by the teams of development 
engineers to be found in every automotive 
factory. 

These teams are assigned to different 
parts of the car. One will work with the 
engine, another with the transmission, 
another with the axle, another with the 
chassis, and so on. And even each team 
will be subdivided and the subdivisions 
assigned to specific parts, the chassis 
group, for instance, finding themselves 
subdivided and assigned to frame and 
suspension design, wheel and tire prob- 
lems, springs, brakes, or steering qual- 
ities. 

Once a group has been assigned to a 
specific part, it is asked to find out all 
that it possibly can about that part from 
every possible source. To do so they go 
to suppliers, to laboratory or field testing, 
to rival makes of cars, or to any other 
source they can think of. 

With this background knowledge in 
mind they are then asked to develop ideas 
for the improvement of their special part. 
When the ideas come up they are careful- 
ly discussed and screened and the go- 
ahead is given for experimentation and 
testing. Although about four out of fi\e 
of these ideas are usually doomed to fail- 
ure, the senior engineers are very liberal 
in giving their go-ahead because they 
know that by some slight new twist, some 
slight new adjustment in design, a young 
engine is apt to come forth with a new 
development that will prove to be of 
great benefit to all concerned. 

Ideas are tested in a dozen different 
ways and often over a period of many 
years before they are finally abandoned 
or come to their full fruition. And when 
that one-out-of-five comes through, the 
American motorist has another new im- 
provement to look forward to, another 
added something in the way of his safety 
or his driving comfort. 



CARE OF BRAKES 

Because brakes lose efficiency in a gratl- 
ual manner, it is important that they be 
checked regularly, the California State 
Automobile Association cautions. If the 
pedal can be depressed to a point within 
two inches of the floor board, it is time 
to visit a repair shop for readjustment.

EXPENSIVE PROPOSITION 

Here's the way the money goes. 

The average California family's share 
of traffic accident costs amounted to ten 
dollars per month during 1953. On a per 
capita basis, accidents cost each resident 
of the state $30,000 per year. 

Total economic loss last year is placed 
at $320,245,000.00, according to an an- 
nouncement released by the California 
Highway Patrol. This total is reached by 
multiplying $95,000, representing the 
a\erage cost of one traffic fatality, by the 
total of 3371 fatalities suffered in traffic 
collisions in the state last year. 

This formula allows for injury and 
property damage accidents as well, and 
includes wage losses, medical expenses 
and professional services, and auto re- 
pairs, costs that must be shared among all 
the people. 

"\Vhile the loss of human life can 
never be reduced to terms of dollars and 
cents, and while there is no possible way 
of compensating for these tragedies, li\es 
can be saved, painful and permanent in- 
juries can be prevented, and millions of 
dollars in property damage can be pre- 
vented by defensive driving," declared B. 
R. Caldwell, Commissioner of the High- 
wav Patrol. 

"The economic loss in traffic accidents 
for 1954 has alreadv reached a figure in 
excess of 50,000,000.00," he pointed out. 
Caldwell suggests that every motorist 
approach traffic problems assuming that 
every other motorist is going to make a 
mistake. 



BUNKO MEN ON HIGHWAYS 

^'ou have a nice car. It bespeaks your 
prosperity and you feel you are really 
somebody as you glide in comfort over 
the smooth highways. But, since the 
world began there is always that disturb- 
ing fly in the ointment — you notice a bat- 
tered flivver keeping just a tantalizing 
distance ahead of you on the road. The 
driver of that flivver is doing an excellent 
job of, as they say in football, "running 
interference." He is your shadow, but 
always up front. 

For your present — and perhaps your 
future — peace of mind there are two 
things you can do ; Pull off to the side for 
a few minutes, or drive verv carefully 
until you get past the pest. Yes — dri\e 
carefully for the pilot of the flivver may 
be a racketeer of a common brand of 
recent years. 

His game is to get a larger car to crash 
into him, then to adroitly act his part as a 
poor man in a bad predicament due to 
your fault, and to accept a cash settle- 
ment.

BET YOUR LIFE 

Any driver who gambles against the 
traffic laws may pay with his life if he 
loses. 

"A review of accident reports indicates 
that in about 85 per cent of all traffic acci- 
dents, one or more traffic laws were vio- 
lated by motorists or pedestrians, or 
both," declared California Highway Pa- 
trol Commissioner B. R. Caldwell. 

"Too many drivers approach their 
duty of observing traffic laws asking 
themselves, 'Can I get away with this?' 
Then, if they think they can, they'll 
break the law almost every time. 

"Very often they don't get away with 
it. They receive citations as half-a-million 
did on highways in unincorporated areas 
of California last year, or they are in- 
volved in accidents. ^Vorst of all, they 
often injure or kill innocent people," he 
added. 

Caldwell also had a word for careless 
pedestrians. He said that while there are 
few traffic laws governing pedestrian con- 
duct, there are safety rules, and pedes- 
trians who don't observe them are their 
own worst enemies. 

"It is absolutely senseless," the Com- 
missioner pointed out, "for a pedestrian 
to pit his weight against the weight of an 
automobile. The odds are all against 
him." 

Pedestrians were especially cautioned 
not to cross streets in mid-block nor 
against red lights. 



REMOVING SPOTS 

Here a few of the more common up- 
holstery spots and suggestions for getting 
rid of them, passed only by the National 
Automobile Club. 

For grease and oil spots rub with clean 
cloth wet with carbon tetrachloride. For 
lipstick, apply a small amount of tetra- 
chloride directly to the stain and imme- 
diately press a blotter on the spot. Repeat 
until stain is removed. Rub ice cream 
spots with soap suds and clean with a 
cloth wet with cold water. After drying, 
cleaning fluid may be used to eliminate 
any last traces. 

Candy spots should be rubbed with a 
cloth wet with hot water. If necessary, 
follow by sponging the spot, after drying, 
with carbon tetrachloride. To remove 
chewing gum spots, wet with carbon 
tetrachloride and work gum off with a 
dull knife while moist. ^Vet fruit spots 
with hot water, scraping any pulp from 
the fabric. In an extreme case pour very 
hot water directly on the spot before 
scraping.

WATCH THOSE SIGNS 

SACRAMENTO— "Do you believe 
in signs?" asks the California Highway 
Patrol of ever}' driver using California's 
streets and highways. 

"We ask that question because each 
year at least 6,000 drivers are involved 
in fatal and injury traffic accidents be- 
cause they disregarded traffic signs and 
signals," B. R. Caldwell, Highway Pa- 
trol Commissioner said recently. "Prob- 
ably 100 times that many drivers habit- 
ually ignore traffic signs and signals. 
They may escape trouble for a while but 
the odds are against them. Sooner or 
later they will ignore a sign and then 
tragedy strikes. 

"Traffic signs are in reality signs of 
life and are erected with just one pur- 
pose in view, to w^arn motorists of haz- 
ards and dangerous situations just 
ahead," Caldwell continued. "Drivers 
who believe in these signs will obey them 
because they realize the possibility of an 
accident if they don't. 

"Obedience to traffic signs means ad- 
justing the speed of your car to the in- 
dicated conditions," the Commissioner 
added. "It also means making a full stop 
at ever\' stop sign, never crossing a 
double line except when the dotted line 
is on your side, being extra alert at rail- 
road crossings and when driving through 
construction zones, giving proper sig- 
nals when turning, changing lanes or 
stopping and heeding the speed limit 
signs indicating a speed lower than 55 
miles per hour. Obeying the signs of life 
will make your journey safer, quicker 
and more enjoyable."

COURTESY HELPS 

"Highway courtesy can materially re- 
duce the disgraceful traffic accident, 
death and property damage tolls, " de- 
clared California Highway Patrol Com- 
missioner B. R. Caldwell in commenting 
on the nation-wide program to bring 
more courtesy to bear in highway travel. 

"The adopted slogan, 'Make Courtesy 
Your Code of the Road,' is particularly 
good advice when common violations that 
cause accidents are analyzed. Discourtesy 
is a prominent factor in right-of-way dis- 
putes, improper and unsafe passing, il- 
legal turns, failure to obey lights and 
traffic signs, and especially aggravating 
lane-straddling," Caldwell said. "One of 
the more discourteous acts noted on our 
streets and highways," continued the 
Commissioner, "is the practice of driving 
slower than the normal flow of traffic." 

"These discourteous acts provoke other 
drivers, agitate the quick-tempered to 
retaliate, and actually increase traffic 
hazards. At the same time a courteous 
deed promotes goodwill and often in- 
spires another driver to return the favor. 
It is indeed unfortunate that many 
highway users have not learned to dis- 
play the same courtesy in traffic that is 
customarily shown guests in the home. 
If this were the case, highways would 
be much safer for everyone," he con- 
cluded. 



RATTLE RELIEF 

Those of us who have automobiles that 
"just weren't built yesterday" are in- 
clined to accept all those miscellaneous 
squeaks and rattles and clunks with a stiff 
upper lip, deciding in our hearts that this 
is all an inevitable part of our ancient 
cars. This decision, according to the Na- 
tional Automobile Club, is not quite 
justified because there are really all sorts 
of things that one can do to get rid of 
those rattles and clunks. 

Take the clunking that comes from a 
looseness between frame and body. \ou 
can get rid of that by tightening up a 
few key body bolts that tie the frame to 
the body. Some more banging and clunk- 
ing can be cleared away by tightening up 
on battery containers and battery hold- 
down bolts and by tightening up a few 
attaching and assembly bolts on that 
front and rear bumper. For that bang- 
ing that comes from springs and shackles 
that are just too loose, a few quick turns 
on the right bolts will end all that. 



TROLLEY TRACKS 

Avoid wet trolley tracks when driving, 
advises the National Automobile Club.

PYRAMID LAKE DRIVE 

Pyramid Lake is a desert sea, all that 
remains of prehistoric Lake Lahontaii, 
which once covered most of Nevada. T he 
Truckee River empties into Pyramid, 
and there is no outlet. 

The Pyramid after which Pyramid 
Lake is named is a huge stone forma- 
tion both older and larger than the 
Pyramids of Egypt. It was first dis- 
covered by General Fremont's expedi- 
tion in 1843, and is 400 feet high. 

Anaho Island, near the Pyramid is the 
world's largest pelican rookery. Yew 
sights are as impressive as a formation 
of these graceful birds flying along the 
shores of the lake. 

The cui-ciri, a prehistoric fish un- 
known elsewhere, thrives in Pyramid 
Lake. At one time this lake was noted 
for its record breaking trout, with speci- 
mens weighing more than 40 pounds. 

To get to Pyramid Lake from Reno, 
drive east on 4th St. (Highway 40) to 
Alameda Avenue, (Hwy. Zi) . Turn left 
at the traffic light there. Four blocks 
from 4th street, you will pass the Reno 
Rodeo grounds. Past the rodeo grounds, 
follow the paved road. You will drive 
for approximately three miles past beau- 
tiful Cottonwood trees and green irri- 
gated fields. A sudden change to sandy 
areas and sagebrush marks your depar- 
ture from Reno's irrigated zone. The 
road continues on through desert hills 
scarred occasionally by the prospector's 
pick. Old "diggins " show as white pock- 
marks in the brown hills, and pros- 
pectors trails can be seen leading away 
from the road on either side. Nine miles 
from Reno, on the right, you will see 
the Herold's Club Trap and Skeet 
Club, scene of major matches. 

Pyramid Lake comes into view as the 
highway emerges from the hills. The 
"Pyramid" is at the far side, looking 
tiny in the distance. Approximately one 
mile to the left is the Pyramid Lake 
Guest Ranch, and a trading post which 
sells Indian craft work and beverages. 

Pyramid Lake has an all-pervading 
atmosphere of peace and solitude. Only 
one or two houses are on its shores, and 
it's easy to feel like an explorer as you 
step out of your car. Sunset at Pyramid 
Dake is one of the most beautiful sights 
in the \Vest. 

Returning, turn your car and back- 
track. Passing the road by which you 
came, follow the lake shore to Nixon, 
Paiute Indian settlement. At Nixon, 
turn right on highway 34 to Wadsworth, 
once a main maintenance station for the 
Southern Pacific Railway. Turn right

CARSON CITY 

Carson City, Nevada, 30 miles from 
Reno, is the nation's smallest state capi- 
tal, with a population of appro.ximately 
5,000. Towering mountains of the Sierra 
Nevada, usually snow-capped, lie just 
outside the city limits to the west. Desert 
hills are on the east. North and south of 
Carson City are beautifully fertile fields 
supporting agriculture and cattle. 

Nevada's state buildings line tree- 
shaded Carson street. The capital's huge 
dome may be seen from any part of the 
city. 

At the end of the last century, the Car- 
son City mint made silver coins from ores 
mined at the nearby Comstock Lode in 
Virginia City. The mint building, across 
from the V. & T. Depot is a museum and 
silver coins stamped with the mint's 
"C-C" mark are highly prized by coin 
collectors. 

The museum has become a treasure 
house for the old West. Indian craft- 
work, historic newspaper files, ancient 
guns, and other relics are displayed in its 
halls. Mining has played such a large 
part in the history of Nevada that a full- 
size replica of a silver mine has been re- 
constructed in the museum's basement. 
Every detail of the mine was supervised 
by experienced mining men. Most mines 
refuse to admit visitors because of haz- 
ards to themselves and workmen. The 
Carson City Museum's mine is one of 
the few places where actual mining con- 
ditions may be examined in safety. 

Even the state prison has historic 
significance. In cutting a passageway, 
prehistoric footprints were discovered, 
and carefully preserved. 

Carson City's homes are fine examples 
of the 18th Century's best. Most of 
them are furnished, at least in part, in 
the ornate manner of Civil War days. 
One, the Rinckel mansion, is set up so 
that visitors to Carson City can go 
through and see the fine examples of 
craftsmanship that made living comfort- 
able and luxurious for early Nevadans. 

Indians whose ancestors roamed Neva- 
da centuries ago are educated at the 
Stewart Indian school, just a few miles 
south of Carson City. The school build- 
ings are built of natural Nevada rock in 
a multitude of colors. Indians from 
Stewart complete with students of other 
schools in sporting events, and usually 
come out high on the list.

"Virginia and Truckee" is a name 
well known to railroad fans. Once this 
railroad was one of the very richest, 
hauling ore from the Comstock to Reno 
for shipment to San Francisco. It was 
closed down in 1950, but one of the old 
engines stands near the V. & T. shops on 
Carson Street, and the tools once used 
for maintaiiung the custom-built locomo- 
tives are still in the shops. 

Carson City would be charming if it 
were just another town, so beautiful is 
its location. As capital of the State and 
storehouse of \Vestern lore it is a must 
for the visitor to Nevada. 



SPECTACULAR TOWN 

Mount Rose — Tahoe- — Carson City 
tour is one of the most spectacular in 
the West. The ]\It. Rose road in itself is 
a memorable experience, climbing from 
the lush Truckee meadows almost to the 
8,933-foot summit of Mt. Rose, and then 
descending through dense evergreens to 
the shores of Lake Tahoe, largest lake 
at its altitude or higher on the North 
American continent. 

Carson City, Nevada's capital, and 
the smallest in the United States, is rich 
in historic interest. Here are the yards 
of the famous Virginia and Truckee rail- 
wey, which once was the richest road in 
the nation and has now ceased opera- 
tions. The Carson City museum has a 
multitude of items that played their part 
in the development of Nevada and the 
West, and a full-size replica of the sil- 
ver mines which made Nevada famous. 

Starting at the center of Reno, drive 
south on highway 395 (South Virginia 
Street). You will pass through the won- 
derfully fertile Truckee meadows and at 
the same time be able to see desert hills 
to the East on your left. All the fields are 
irrigated by water from the Truckee 
River, and you will see irrigated ditches 
as you drive. 

Nine miles from Reno, turn right on 
the Mount Rose road (Nevada high- 
way 27.) You will drive through typical 
Nevada sagebrush and greasewood until 
you reach, in about 4 miles, the begin- 
ning of the evergreens. Just after enter- 
ing the wooded area, >ou will come to 
Galena Creek, and the Galena Creek 
picnic area. Outdoor cooking facilities 
and pure water make this a fine place to 
stop. 

Farther up the road, 20 miles from 
Reno, you will pass the Mt. Rose Bowl, 
site of the famous Silver Dollar Ski 
Derby. Topnotch skiers in the United 
States and abroad have tried these slopes, 
and liked them. 

The road is steeper above the bowl, 
and it's wise to keep a close watch on

ARE YOU GUILTY? 

(Continued from page 3) 
marks on "justice" and "law" represent 
a typical example ; also they are a lit- 
erary masterpiece. 

"Man has always sought justice, but 
has never agreed as to what it is. — Man's 
continuous seeking for justice has resulted 
in our elaborate framework of law and 
organization for the administration of 
law. — The purpose of law is to make it 
possible for people to live together peace- 
ably. To live together peaceably, people 
must mutually respect each other's lives, 
property, and opinions. The law should 
aim to harmonize and adjust these areas 
of conflict and of overlapping desires and 
claims which arise when people live in 
close proximity. This should be done with 
as little requirement or sacrifice on the 
part of each as will bring about the re- 
quired harmony in interaction. — Society 
has arranged policemen, judges, jails, 
probation officers, parole officers, juries, 
attorneys, and has set up the law which 
must be obeyed. This program of justice 
has been torn asunder by bitter criticism. 
No part of it has escaped, and as long as 
man is what he is, no program of justice 
can be constructed which woidd be satis- 
factory to all. Society can, however, agree 
upon a concept of justice, primarih' by 
conditioning through family life, educa- 
tion, and precept. But if the machinery 
is set up by society, the individual in the 
society is what makes the machinery 
work. Justice then becomes ivhat man 
makes it." 

In giving a definitive opinion of Pro- 
fessor Dienstein's book, ARE YOU 
GUILTY? I can, without reservation, 
recommend it as an indispensable contri- 
bution. It most certainly shoLild be made 
available in every library, and be required 
reading both for primary and advanced 
students as well. I heartily advocate its 
use and study by teachers in the class 
room, by peace officers (executives and 
subordinates alike) and, more important- 
ly, by the public at large, since it is to the 
"man in the street" that we turn, in the 
final analysis, for aid and support in a 
crisis such as the present ; and we do face 
such a crisis, as the reading of Professor 
Dienstein's book and a little careful re- 
flection will discover. And in this connec- 
tion, a final truism will be worth remem- 
bering; namely, justice can only be what 
the citizen wants it to be ; the machiner\ 
of justice must afford equal protection for 
all, be accessible to all, and swift in opera- 
tion. Only thus can Democracy hope to 
survive.

your engine temperature, shifting into a 
lower gear when it begins to rise. 

Deer abound in the territory adjacent 
to the road. \o\.\ may also see porcupines, 
chukar partridge, and ground squirrels 
if you watch closely. 

Downgrade, after passing the summit, 
is a scenic thrill. Lake Tahoe, emerald 
green, blue, and dusty gray, lies be- 
neath you like a painting, unbelievably 
beautiful. 

Turn left at the lake shore (route 28) 
and drive along the lake's edge for 14 
miles to Glenbrook. Turn left on high- 
way 50, and head for Carson City on the 
Clear Creek grade, ^\''agon trains once 
followed this road on their way from 
Sacramento to Virginia City. 

Turn left at the foot of the grade 
(10 miles from Glenbrook) on highway 
395 and drive 3 miles to Carson City. 
You will see the old Carson City Mint, 
now the Nevada State Museum, the 
state Capitol, and the other state build- 
ings right on 395. 

Continue on through Washoe Valley. 
About 18 miles from Carson City you 
will see steam rising from the ground 
at Steamboat Springs. Continue on to 
Reno. 

Ten miles north of Carson City is 
Bowers Mansion, a reminder of the first 
Comstock millionaires, Lemuel (Sandy) 
Bowers and his wife. Now owned by 
Washoe Coimty, it is a recreation center 
with swimming pools and picnic grounds. 
The mansion, hidden behind formal 
planting of Lombardi poplars and Scotch 
broom is a museum. 



SPEEDS BELOW FIFTY 

Speeds below fifty miles per hour are 
said by National Automobile Club to be 
most economical. 



NOT ONLY COST 

Driving in such a manner that severe 
use of the brakes is necessary is costly 
in more ways than mere lining wear, 
warns the National Automobile Club. 
Think of the energy generated by the 
engine to get up to such a speed that be- 
comes pure waste when the car has to be 
stopped suddenly. The motorists who 
drives more slowly and is able to coast 
to an approximately stop is the one who 
gets the most gasoline mileage in the 
course of a vear. 



TRAFFIC OFFICER 

Cooperate with the traffic officer, ad- 
vises the National Automobile Club. He 
is not out there to kill your fun. He is out 
there to keep you from killing yourself.

THE DERAAS MURDER 

(Continued from page 12) 
Vivian Avenue which reaches a dead end 
at the Tuolumne River on the edge of 
the Fairbanks district, a suburb of Mo- 
desto, California. They found Teekle 
and Welch waiting for them beside the 
car. 

The officials recognized the dead man 
as readily as the farm hands had. Eilif 
Deraas was an athlete known through- 
out California for his prowess on skis. 
Born in Norway, he had developed his 
mastery of the sport there and come to 
AVisconsin during his boyhood. There he 
had continued to ski until he became 
champion of the state, a title he held for 
several years before coming to Califor- 
nia. Deraas went on to new honors in 
the Western state, winning the ski cham- 
pionship of Tuolumne County in the 
High Sierras, and becoming known as 
one of the outstanding performers on the 
Pacific Coast. 

Silently Hammett and Sovern studied 
the body. The lean athletic figure of the 
ski champion was stretched out close to 
the rear wheel, so close in fact that the 
outflung left hand showed burn marks 
from contact with the spinning wheel. 
He was wearing work clothes and a 
small woolen ski cap on the back of his 
head. Sovern removed the ski cap and 
studied the head. He turned to Ham- 
mett. 

"It was murder all right. He was shot 
in the rear of the skull by a small caliber 
revolver. He couldn't have done it him- 
self." 

"He'd have had a hard time spinning 
those rear wheels and throwing diit over 
himself or disposing of the gun after he 
was dead, too," Hammett remarked. "I 
wonder what the motive was?" 

Further investigation revealed that the 
skier's blood soaked pockets contained 
only a package of cigarettes and a pocket 
comb. 

"It looks like robbery," Hammett ob- 
served. "Whatever it was, this case is 
going to be too big for one man to han- 
dle. I'm going to call SherifT Hogin. 
Better not touch anything until we get 
some pictures." 

The deputy called Sheriff Grat M. 
Hogin at his home in Modesto and out- 
lined the facts of the case briefly. Hogin 
immediately dispatched Chief Criminal 
Deputy Stanton Briggs and Deputy 
Sheriff John B. Moorhead. He then 
called District Attorney Lester Cleary 
who assigned a deputy, William Zefif, to 
the case. 

Briggs and the two deputies hurried 
to the scene where they found Sovern, 
Hammett, and the two farm hands im- 
patiently awaiting their arrival. The

corpse was lying in exactly the same posi- 
tion as it had been when Teekle and 
^Velch discovered it. 

"I tried not to disturb anything any 
more than necessary," Hammett told 
them. "I knew you would want pictures. 
There should be fingerprints on that car 
and maybe footprints in this soft dirt." 

""\'ou haven't noticed any footprints 
yet?" Briggs inquired. 

Hammett shook his head. "No. But I 
haven't looked too close. I didn't want 
to add mine to them and confuse the 
issue." 




John Moorhead 

The chief deputy nodded his approval 
and approached the car gingerly, study- 
ing the ground carefully. He circled the 
entire vehicle and stopped where he had 
started. 

"Strange," he observed. "There are 
footprints around the car, but they're 
just fragments. We couldn't get a decent 
cast out of any of them. And I don't see 
any leading away. You don't suppose 
the murderer flew." 

Hammett grinned. "Something like 
that. He indicated a grassy strip about 
five feet from the auto that lead to the 
river bank and followed it indefinitely. 
"If the killer walked along that he 
wouldn't leave any decent prints. He 
could walk along until he reached hard 
ground or the road and we might never 
find his prints. He could have jumped 
from the car to the grass. It's a short 
enough distance." 

Briggs nodded. "That's probably what 
he did. He must have had a good reason 
to be so careful about his feet." 

The chief deputy set up his camera 
and photographed the scene from every 
angle before investigating further. ^Vhen 
he was through he wrapped his handker- 
chief around the car door handle and

opened it carefully. The upholstery was 
saturated with blood, but aside from the 
blood stains there was no indication of a 
struggle. Briggs noticed that there was 
no registration slip on the steering wheel 
post. 

"I wonder if this car beyonged to De- 
raas or someone else," he remarked. "It 
could be somebody else's, or stolen." 

"That ought to be easy enough to 
check on," Sovern said. "But what drew 
\our attention to it?" 

"Two things. First, the body is lying 
by the right side of the car, as though 
he got out on that side. The second is 
even more obvious." Briggs indicated the 
blood soaked upholstery. "You'll notice 
all the blood in the car is in the center. 
A little to the right, if anything. Deraas 
wasn't in the driver's seat when he was 
shot." 

"That means the crime took place in 
this car," Zeff mused. "He could have 
been killed somewhere else and taken 
here." 

"That's right," Briggs agreed. He 
turned to the Coroner. "Have you any 
estimate as to how long he has been 
dead ?" 

"About seven hours." Sovern replied. 
"It could vary an hour one way or an- 
other. I couldn't make it much closer." 

"In other words he was murdered 
about one-thirty a. m. today," said 
Briggs. It was eight-thirty a. m. on the 
morning of March 16, 1936, when he 
spoke. 

"Or twelve-thirty, or two-thirty," the 
Coroner answered. "I can't set the time 
to the minute. I'd just hinder you if I 
tried to." 

"That's close enough," Briggs ob- 
served. "Let's see if we can find anything 
else here. And somebody see if there is 
anything around that will tell us who 
owns this car." 

A close examination of the auto show- 
ed that a hurried attempt had been made 
to remove all fingerprints from the win- 
dows and other sections. The thin film 
of gray dust that covered the car had 
been wiped away in several places. In 
his hurry, however, the killer had neg- 
lected three clear prints on the right- 
arid door window. 

"I hope they are the murderer's," 
Briggs remarked. "At least we have the 
victim's. We got them after a tavern 
brawl last month, when he was arrested." 

An oil change card, tied inside the 
hood, indicated positively that the auto- 
mobile belonged to Deraas. Meanwhile, 
Hammett, assisting in the examination 
of the car, made a startling discovery.

"The turtleback has been wiped off," 
the deputy shouted. "What do 3'ou sup- 
pose made him do that?" There must 
have been something to hide." 

The deputy searched further, and 
found what he was looking for, half con- 
cealed by the handle of the cover. There, 
clearly outlined against the dust, was a 
heel print complete in every detail. Even 
the trade name, "Goodrich Wingfoot" 
stood out distinctly. 

Three more more prints were found, 
all on the turtleback, but none as clear 
as the one beneath the door handle. The 
investigators noted that the heelprint 
was unusually small, indicating that it 
had been left by a woman or a very 
small man. Briggs set up his camera and 
photographed the evidence. 

"I don't see why it was on the turtle- 
back," he remarked. "It may be that the 
killer used it as a springboard from 
which he jumped to that patch of grass. 
Anyway, if it was a woman, the solution 
of this case should be simplified. Robber\ 
as a motive would be practically elimi- 
nated." 

"Perhaps there were two of them and 
one stood on the rear of the car and tried 
to rock it free while the other sat at the 
wheel," Hammett suggested. "The gaso- 
line indicator shows the tank is empty." 

A moment later Hoff, who had been 
inspecting the ground surrounding the 
scene, turned up evidence that substanti- 
ated Hammett's theory. He found two 
sets of footprints apparently belonging to 
a man and woman leading across the 
plowed field from the grassy river bank. 

Leaving Hammett to watch the car, 
Briggs and the rest of the party set out 
immediately to follow the mysterious 
footprints, hoping they would lead to 
some more likely clue. Their hopes were 
shattered, however, when they found the 
trail lead to a farmhouse where the 
owner and his wife admitted the trail 
had been left by them when they re- 
turned from working on the river bank 
the preceding day. 

The officers returned to the scene and 
resumed their investigation. A blood- 
stained copy of the Stockton Record was 
found in the bushes by the riverbank and 
taken as evidence. The paper had been 
sold on Friday, March 13, and was a 
copy of the home edition. Briggs pointed 
out that while it was probably of little 
significance, the home edition was not de- 
livered in Stanislaus Count\', indicating 
that the paper would ha\e had to be pur- 
chesed north of the Stanislaus River in 
San Joaquin County. 

Moorhead called attention to a deep 
break in the riverbank close to where the 
paper was found.

"Maybe the murderer is in there," he 
observed. "If he is we'll never find him." 
"He could have come here and fallen 
in when he attempted to wash the blood 
from himself," Briggs admitted. "With 
these rivers all at the peak of their spring 
Hood, he could be washed clear into the 
San Francisco Bay before the body is 
found. That wouldn't help a bit. It's 
also possible that he came here and dis- 
posed of the murder weapon. I was 
counting on the bullet in Deraas skull as 
a valuable clue." 

Satisfied that they had investigated the 
scene of the murder as completely as pos- 
sible, the officers returned to Modesto. 
A check with Deraas' fingerprints there 
revealed that all of the seven prints 
found on the car belonged to the owner. 
Meanwhile Sovern removed the fatal 
bullet from the dead man's skull and 
reported that it was a thirty-two caliber 
and in good enough condition for a bal- 
listics expert to match it with the gun 
from which it had been fired. 

Moorhead and Hammett set out to 
check on the dead man's personal history 
for some clue that might lead to the 
cause of the murder. In spite of the fact 
that his pockets contained only the cigar- 
ettes and comb, indicating robbery, the 
investigators felt that the impression 
might have been left deliberately to cover 
up some less obvious motive. 

Close questioning of the dead man's 
friends and acquaintances revealed only 
that Deraas had been extraordinarily un- 
communicative regarding his personal 
life. They found only that the skier was 
employed in off season by a Ripon vine- 
yard and that prior to that he had work- 
ed for the Roma AVinery there. Ripon, a 
small town half way between the larger 
cities of Modesto and Manteca, could 
not produce a single individual who 
knew of any feminine acquaintances of 
the ski champion. Apparently he had no 
love affairs. AVhat then, they wondered, 
was the significance of the small heel- 
print? Was it possible that, as the heel- 
print indicated, there had been a woman 
in the car at the time Deraas was mur- 
dered ? Or had an exceptionally small 
man committed the crime and with rob- 
bery as his motive? In the light of their 
findings at Ripon the detectives leaned 
toward the latter theory. 

One bit of evidence was uncovered in 
Ripon which gave added strength to the 
robbery, motive. The deputies found two 
\ouths, Fred Gritton and Elvin Lemas, 
who were apparently the last two people 
to see Deraas alive, with the exception of 
the killer. 

The two youths, both admirers of De- 
raas' ability as a ski jumper, told Ham- 
mett and Moorhead they had seen the

murdered man in the Midway Service 
Station in Manteca at about nine o'clock 
the night of March 15. Earlier in the 
e\ening, they said the dead man had been 
drinking in a Ripon beer tavern and had 
stated when he left there he was going 
home. 

A short time later the two boys saw 
him stop at the Midway Service Station, 
where a young man approached. his car, 
spoke to him briefly, and got in. They 
told the officers that the rider appeared 
to be a hitchhiker and described him as 
being light complexioned, short, and at- 
tired in a light shirt, dark hat, and dark 
necktie. They added that he appeared to 
be wearing a small mustache, although 
they could not be sure in the bad light. 
They estimated his weight at about 145 
pounds. 

"One more thing," Moorhead asked 
them. "Did you notice whether or not 
Deraas had any money when he left you 
at the tavern?" 

"As near as I could tell he had about 
twenty dollars," said Gritton. Lemas 
agreed that the ski champion had at least 
that amount. 

Convinced that the man seen entering 
the ski champion's car was the most 
likely suspect, Moorhead and Hammett 
pressed their investigation in Ripon, hop- 
ing to discover someone who could give 
them a satisfactory clue as to the identity 
of the hitchhiker. 

Wallace Sheppard, the owner of a hog 
ranch on the outskirts of town, provided 
the only other bit of information. He re- 
ported that he had been approached the 
night before the murder by a young man 
who wanted work, and had hired him 
for the evening to look after the hogs 
while he attended a moving picture. 
Sheppard added that he believed the man 
was familiar with Modesto because he 
had asked if the rancher was going to the 
Strand Theatre. 

"I went to the Strand, all right," 
Sheppard told the officers. "But he didn't 
watch the hogs. ^Vhen I returned from 
the movies he was gone, and so were fif- 
teen dollars and a valuable camera." 

"Can you describe him?" 

"Only that he was young, seemed 
small, and had brown hair and a brown 
hat. I couldn't swear to the color of the 
hair or the hat. It was pretty dark when 
I talked to him," the rancher said. 

"Would you recognize him if you saw 
him again ?" 

"I believe I would," Sheppard replied. 

In the hope that the man described by 
Sheppard was in the rogue's gallery at 
the sheriff's office, the rancher was taken 
there and shown scores of photographs 
that answered his description in a general 
way. Sheppard studied them all carefully

but reported he did not see the man. 

"That's too bad," Briggs remarked. 
"Our only suspect is now an anonymous 
hitchhiker. One of thousands on the Cal- 
ifornia highways. Our only clues are a 
blood stained newspaper, a photograph 
of a size three heel print, and a thirty- 
two caliber slug." 

Returning to the scene of the murder, 
Moorhead and Hammett questioned the 
residents of surrounding farmhouses, but 
could find no one who had heard the 
fatal shot. One farmer, John Loinbar- 
dini, who lived closest to the scene of the 
slaving, reported that he had seen a car 
drive along Vivian Avenue toward the 
river at about eleven o'clock the night of 
the murder and that he had not see it 
return. 

"That must have been Deraas," Ham- 
mett observel. "But if he picked up the 
hitchhiker at nine o'clock in Ripon and 
took a half hour to get here, that leaves 
an hour and a half unaccounted for. It 
is entirely possible that the hitchhiker 
had left him then and someone else was 
with him." 

"Maybe the hitchhiker killed him 
somewhere else and came here to dispose 
of the body. That would take up some of 
the time," Moorhead pointed out. "Per- 
haps nobody heard a shot here because it 
was fired some other place. " 

Locating one murdering hitchhiker 
amongj:he thousands who roam the high- 
ways and placing him in the death car at 
the time of the murder appeared a hope- 
less task, but Hogin, Briggs, and their 
deputies were working at it stubbornly 
when evidence was unearthed that threw 
an entirely new light on the case. 

A few days after the murder the ski 
champion's sister, Mrs. J. P. Jorgensen 
of Ripon, approached Coroner Sovern. 
She stated flatly that she did not believe 
her brother was killed by a hitchhiker. 

"He was killed in a row over a woman. 
I'm sure of it," she said. 

"It would be easier to find the mur- 
derer if he had been," Sovern admitted. 
'But up to the present no one has been 
able to find any woman in his life who 
was more than a casual acquaintance." 

"I found one," Mrs. Jorgensen told 
him. She drew a small package of letters 
from her purse. "I opened these because 
I thought they might contain some clue 
that would lead to Eilif's killer. I hated 
to do it, but now I'm glad I did. When 
vou read them I think you'll have your 
killer. 

Sovern opened one of the letters and 
glanced through it. The words "he'll be 
mad, but I don't care" caught his eye. He 
read several more, then picked up the 
telephone and called the sheriff.

"I think we can forget about the rob- 
bery motive in the Deraas case," he said. 
"The victim's sister is here with some 
letters that throw an entirely new light 
on the case." 

"I'll be right over," the sheriff re- 
sponded. A few moments later Hogin 
and Briggs arrived in Sovern's office and 
examined the letters. They were written 
in a fine hand and revealed a love affair 
that the ski champion had succeeded in 
keeping completely secret by his silence. 
The letters were signed by a Hilda John- 
son, and the return address was Mo- 
desto. They indicated that she had been 
engaged to a young San Francisco ma- 
chinist to whom she "referred as Frank, 
for some time, but that she was going to 
break off the engagement because of her 
love for the ski champion. 

"This ought to clear things up," Ho- 
gin remarked. "I guess our hitchhiker 
was not implicated after all. We'd better 
go talk to that girl." 

The girl, a good looking blond young 
lady of Swedish descent, was nervous 
when the officers arrived but told her 
story willingly. 

"I've really been expecting you," she 
said. "But I'm sure Frank didn't do it. 
He was awfully angry, but he wouldn't 
kill anybody." 

Miss Johnson went on to tell the offi- 
cers that she had been engaged to the San 
Francisco man for three years before 
meeting the ski champion. After meeting 
Deraas she had known that her engage- 
ment to Frank would have to be called 
off and was considering such action when 
he heard from other sources that she was 
going out with someone else. 

Angrily he came to Modesto on 
March 13 and expressed his displeasure 
at her behavior. While he was visiting 
her Deraas had arrived to discuss a ski- 
ing expedition they had planned for the 
weekend in Yosemite Valley. The girl 
had talked to him outside her house and 
through the curtains her fiance had seen 
her embrace and kiss the ski champion. 
Seething with indignation he deno\uiced 
her and told her he was through. 

"I don't want anything to do with 
that kind of a girl,' he said, and left in 
such a hurry he neglected to take his hat. 

When the girl finished her story she 
reiterated that she did not believe her 
fiance had been responsible for the mur- 
der. She added that he had called her the 
day after the murder and told her he 
read about it in the San Francisco paper. 
They had decided not to say anything 
about the argument. When the officers 
insisted she gave them his name and ad- 
dress.

"\'ou'd better let us decide whether or 
not he is the killer," Hogin told her. 
"People do strange things when they are 
in love and particularly when they have 
been jilted. If Frank is not guilty he'll 
be given every opportunity to prove it. If 
he is guilty he must pay the penalty." 

A teletype bearing the name, address, 
and description of the fiance was for- 
warded immediately to San Francisco, 
stating that he was wanted for question- 
ing in the Deraas case. A few hours later 
Briggs and Deputy District Attorney 
Zeff appeared at the Hall of Justice in 
San Francisco and were told that a San 
Francisco Inspector was posted in the 
suspect's room and waiting for him to ar- 
rive. The investigators hurried to the 
room and joined the Inspector in his vigil. 

Less than a half hour later the young 
man entered, smiling, and told them he 
had been to a movie and stopped to visit 
a friend on the way home. 

"I hope you haven't been waiting too 
long," he remarked. "I suppose you've 
come to question me about the Deraas 
murder." 

The officers started. He had taken 
them by surprise. 

"^Vhat makes you think so?" Briggs 
demanded. 

"It stands to reason that you would. 
Deraas was dating by girl and I broke 
up with her just before the murder. 
AVhen I read about it I was sure you 
would question me, although I hoped of 
course you wouldn t. 

The young man's frank manner and 
honest attitude impressed the detectives. 
Perhaps his former sweetheart's assump- 
tion that he could not have committed 
murder was correct. Zei? began ques- 
tioning. 

"Can you account for your movements 
on the night of the murder?" 

The machinist nodded. He explained 
that he had arrived in San Francisco 
about five o'clock in the afternoon and 
played California draw poker in a public 
card room for an hour or so, then gone 
to his room. In the evening he went to a 
friend's house and played poker until 
three-thirty a. m. 

"Of course we'll have to hold you 
until we can check that story." If it is 
true you have nothing to worry about," 
Zeff told him. 

The machinist nodded amiably. "It 
shouldn't take long." 

A careful check proved that it was im- 
possible for the San Francisco man to 
have committed the murder. His story 
was correct in every detail and he was 
released promptly. Briggs and Zeff re- 
turned to Modesto empty handed.

"We're right back where we started," 
they told Sheriff Hogin. "I guess the 
hitchhiker is the man we want after all." 

"Let's try Sheppard again," Hogin 
suggested. "There has been a wave of 
juvenile delinquency lately. It might be 
a good idea to let him see the files at 
lone. The killer may have been a Pres- 
ton graduate." 

The officers returned to the hog ranch- 
er's home and told him of their plan. 
The chance of spotting the killer was a 
slim one, but it was a known fact that 
many crimes in the San Joaquin Valley 
were directly attributable to desperate 
young bandits just released from the re- 
form school at lone. 

Sheppard consented willingly and ac- 
companied Briggs and Hammett to the 
reform school. After studying a variety 
of photographs he picked not one, but 
two pictures. 

"I'm sure it was one of these two 
boys," he told the sheriff. He indicated 
the photographs of Emmett C. Baldwin 
and Oliver Peters, both twenty-one years 
old and recently released from the re- 
form the reformatory. 

Acting on information received from 
officials at Preston, Hammett accompan- 
ied Sheppard to Los Angeles where they 
found Baldwin living with relatives in 
the nearby city of Glendale. Sheppard 
looked at the young man and made up 
his mind quickly and with conviction. 

"I'm sorry," he told Hammett. "That 
isn't the man." 

While the two men returned from 
Los Angeles, Hogin received word that 
Peters had been located in San Rafael 
as the result of a statewide radio broad- 
cast and teletype mesages. The rancher 
was hustled to the northern city. Once 
again a quick look was all he needed. 

"I guess I was mistaken. That's not 
the man who worked for me." 

For the time being, Sheppard's value 
as a witness had been e.xhausted and he 
was allowed to return to his ranch. For 
Hammett, who returned to Modesto 
with him, a new duty waited. 

During his absence a teletype had ar- 
rived from Sheriff George Lyle of Santa 
Clara County, informing Hogin that he 
had a likely suspect for the Deraas mur- 
der. During a hunt for a service station 
prowler Lyle's deputies had arrested a 
San Quentin ex-convict, George Kerner, 
and his girl friend, Nellie Carter, and 
were holding them for inxestigation. 

Information revealed by Lyle's depu- 
ties indicated that Kerner had been em- 
ployer recently in the Roma ^Vinery at 
Ripon as a truck driver and that he had 
known the murdered ski champion while 
working there.

Further investigation lead to the dis- 
covery of a thirty-two caliber automatic 
together with several rounds of ammuni- 
tion in the ex-con's room. The suspect 
was very small and had extraordinarily 
small feet. 

Hammett and Lhidersheriff Harvey 
Wright hurried to the Santa Clara 
County Jail at San Jose to interrogate 
the suspect. Hammett produced a photo- 
graph which he handed to Sheriff Lyle. 

"Before we question him, let's com- 
pare his shoe with this heel print," the 
deputy suggested. "I'd like to know just 
where we stand, before we question 
him." 

One of the prisoner's shoes was 
brought to the Sheriff's ofSce and com- 
pared to the photograph. The officers 
smiled. The shoe bore the "Goodrich 
W^ingfoot" trade mark on the heel and 
was approximately the same size as that 
in the photograph. 

"Of course we'll have to make more 
accurate tests," Wright observed. "The 
marks are a little different, but the shoe 
has been worn some. There is a good 
chance this is our man. There aren't 
many men with feet that small." 

The officers called Kerner into the 
room and told him why they were ques- 
tioning him. He paled but denied the 
charge emphatically. The damaging heel 
print was pointed out, but Kerner stub- 
bornly refused to confess to the crime. 

"I don't know whether you did it or 
not, George," said Lyle. "But we have 
\our gun and we can make ballistics tests. 
They'll show if you killed Deraas or 
not." 

"The sooner you make them, the bet- 
ter I'll like it," the prisoner replied. "I 
haven't been near Modesto recently. All 
I knew of Deraas while I was there was 
that he was some kind of a ski jump 
champion. Why should I kill him?" 

"I don't know why anyone should 
have," Wright informed him. "But I in- 
tend to find out. Where were you when 
the murder was committed?' 

"Hunting in the mountains behind 
Madera," Kerner responded. 

"If you can prove it you'll be all right. 
All we want is the truth." 

^Vhile the Modesto deputies question- 
ed the suspect, Sheriff Lyle detailed two 
men to check on the prisoner's testimony. 
Under hours of questioning the suspect 
refused to break down, continuing to 
maintain that he was on a hunting trip 
over the fatal weekend. Finally he was 
returned to his cell to await the report 
of Lyle's deputies and the ballistics ex- 
pert. 

The deputies and ballistics report re- 
turned at almost the same time. The re- 
sults obtained from both were conclu-

sive. A thorough investigation proved 
that Kerner had been hunting at the time 
of the fatal shooting. The fatal bullets 
had failed to match his gun. After inter- 
viewing what seemed to be four "hot" 
suspects, Sheriff Hogin and his men were 
right where they started from the heel 
print, bullet, bloody newspaper and the 
mysterious hitchhiker. 

While the days rolled in to a month, 
the murder of the ski star disappeared 
from the front pages of the newspapers. 
A shorter paragraph each day noted that 
nothing new had developed in the case. 

A sports columnist turned his atten- 
tion to the champion himself, telling 
how he had been called the finest per- 
former ever to appear in Central Cali- 
fornia, remembering how he had twice 
jumped and landed erect on one ski, and 
recalling how he had frequently hurtled 
through the air with a young woman 
riding his skis behind him. The writer 
finished by remarking that it seemed a 
shame that so fine an athlete should die 
at the hand of an anonymous killer who 
had apparently been successful in evad- 
ing justice. 

The column was a challenge to Briggs. 
Although the investigator was faced con- 
stantly with a variety of other work, he 
clung stubbornly to his task, convinced 
that with his two vital bits of evidence, 
the heel print and the bullet taken from 
the slain skier's head, he could some day 
solve the crime. With grim determina- 
tion he sifted Modesto for evidence, hop- 
ing only to turn up a faint trail. 

Over a month after the killing his ef- 
forts were rewarded. A youthful Mo- 
desto ranch hand took him to one side. 

"It sounds silly," the boy said, "but 
there was an ex-con in town a while back 
who disappeared the day after the mur- 
der. I thought it might be worth your 
looking into." 

"Anybody who disappeared on March 
16 is worth investigating," the detective 
told him. "What's the man's name?" 

"I don't know his name," the youth 
admitted. "Mrs. Nelson does, though. 
She brought him here." 

Briggs frowned. Mrs. Nelson was one 
of the best known women in town, a 
leader in church and welfare work. She 
was known for her philanthropic philoso- 
phy and had helped a great many unfor- 
tunate people get a fresh start in life. As 
the investigator approached Mrs. Nel- 
son's home on High Street, he wondered 
whether her generous attitude toward 
the stray lambs of society had backfired. 

The church leader laughed when 
Briggs told her of his suspicions. "\Vil- 
liam did leave town about that time," 
she told him. "But he couldn't hurt any- 
one. I'm sure he had completely reform-

ed. Anyway, he only had one arm and he 
was such a little fellow. He wouldn't 
have been any match for a man like Mr. 
Deraas." 

The deputy was interested. "A little 
fellow, you say. Tell me about him.' 

Mrs. Nelson told the detective how 
another ex-convict had told her of the 
man while he was still in prison and 
pointed out that he was particularly 
worthy of her help. 

The convict's name was William Mc- 
Manus, he was twenty-eight years old 
and serving a five year sentence for rob- 
bery in Los Angeles. Mrs. Nelson had 
corresponded with him and learned that 
he had lost an arm after it had been 
crushed by a freight train nine years be- 
fore in Nevada. He told her that the 
thing that would make him happiest at 
the time would be a cornet he could play 
.in the prison band. The welfare worker 
responded by sending him a cornet and 
telling him she would try to arrange vo- 
cational training for him in Modesto. 

Impressed by the convict's attitude in 
prison, plus the fact that he had lead a 
particularly hard life and was physically 
disabled, she arranged for his parole. 

William McManus was paroled from 
San Quentin on Thanksgiving Day 1935 
and enrolled in the Modesto Business 
College soon after. The disabled ex-con- 
vict was affable and had many friends. 
He became a regular church goer and 
many people in Modesto were willing to 
back Mrs. Nelson's belief that he was 
incapable of murder. They were convinc- 
ed that the Los Angeles robbery was a 
youthful error and that he had com- 
pletely reformed. 

A significant fact though was that not 
one of these people had seen McManus 
since Sunday, March 15. 

A check with San Quentin Authori- 
ties revealed that he had left the prison 
wearing size 5-5 shoes, a prison listing 
corresponding with the normal men's 
size three. The shoes were equipped with 
Goodrich Wingfoot heels. 

"That explains why his heel print 
matched Kerner's," Briggs observed. 
"They were released from prison about 
the same time and both pairs of shoes 
came from the prison shop." 

The ex-convict's room were searched 
and it was discovered that he had left 
most of his belonging's there. Missing, 
among other things, was the cornet. 
Briggs detailed Hammet to investigate

Modesto music stores, thinking the miss- 
ing instrument might provide some clue 
to the reason for the e.\-convict's dis- 
appearance. 

The detective located the cornet at the 
store which which Mrs. Nelson had pur- 
chased it. McManus, in selling it, had 
e.\plained to the dealer that he needed 
money, fifteen dollars, for a pair of 
glasses. 

When Briggs carried this information 
to Mrs. Nelson she reported that she had 
arranged for the e.\-convict to get free 
glasses from a philanthropic society. 

Meanwhile Hammett, going through 
McManus' possessions, found a pair of 
rubbers bearing the latent heel print 
which corresponded almost identically 
with the ones found on the turtleback of 
the death car. 

Convinced that McManus was a like- 
ly suspect Hogin wrote to Clarence S. 
Merrill of the State Department of 
Criminal Identification and requested 
that a hold for suspicion of murder card 
be sent to all points with the ex-convict's 
record card. 

As a clinching bit of evidence, Deputy 
John Moorhead made the rounds of Mo- 
desto pawn shops, convinced that the one 
armed man's secret desire for spare funds 
had been for the purchase of a weapon, 
perhaps the weapon that had ended De- 
aas' life. 

His suspicions were proven well found- 
ed when he discovered that on March 3, 
the same day on which he had sold his 
cornet, McManus had purchased a thir- 
ty-two caliber automatic. The ex-convict 
had signed his name as Robert Williams, 
but the pawn shop proprietor remem- 
bered him as a very small one armed man 
and the handwriting on the registration 
slip tallied exactly with that of Mc- 
Manus. 

Moorhead recorded the serial nimnber 
of the automatic, 103899. "If he used 
that gun on Deraas, we'll need it for a 
conviction," he remarked as he forward- 
ed the information to Briggs. 

"The gun and the heelprint are the 
only things we've got that can tie him up 
with the crime," Briggs agreed. "We'll 
need both of them if we capture him." 

"\Ve'll get him all right," Hogin told 
them. "It's just a matter of waiting now. 
A bad apple always turns up." 

The waiting game did not last as long 
as the Sheriff and his deputies had ex- 
pected. On the last day of April, Briggs 
picked up a teletype message from Clar- 
ence Merrill with vital news. 

AVilliam McManus was in custody. 
More than that, he had picked the Ore- 
gon State Penitentiary as the safest place

he could find in which to hide out from 
a murder charge. He was serving a ten 
year sentence there for an armed robbery 
in Vale, Oregon. 

The one armed bandit had been cap- 
tured just twelve days after the death of 
Eilif Deraas in Modesto. He had con- 
fessed to the robbery and entered a plea 
of guilty immediately, seeking sanctuary 
behind the walls of the Oregon prison. 

Hogin put through a telephone call to 
Sheriff C. W. Glenn at Vale, Oregon. 

"How was McManus armed during 
his robbery attempt there?' he asked. 

"With a thirty-two caliber automatic," 
the sheriii responded. 

"Have you still got it?" 

"We have,' Glenn told him. "What 
do you want to know?" 

Briggs read oiif the number on the gun 
McManus had purchased in Modesto. 
"Check it with the gun you have," he in- 
structed Glenn. "If it is the same, please 
let us know immediately?" 

Ihe numbers checked. 

On May 3, almost two months after 
the fatal shooting, Sheriff Hogin and 
District Attorney Leslie Cleary faced 
McManus in the visting room of the 
Oregon penitentiary. They had already 
matched the lethal bullet with Mc- 
Manus' gun. 

"You may as well confess," Hogin 
told him. "We've got everything we 
need. Heelprint, gun, and a matching 
bullet. You can't win." 

"How about extradition?" 

"It's only a formality," Cleary told 
him. 

"O.K., I'll confess," McManus told 
them. "But I shot in self-defense." 

The little ex-convict told them that he 
had picked up a ride with the slain ski 
champion on the night of the killing and 
that Deraas had asked him to drive. Be- 
cause he observed that the athlete had 
been drinking, McManus claimed he had 
consented to take the wheel. 

He went on to say that Deraas had 
fallen alseep and awakened to accuse him 
of stealing the car. 

"He attacked me,' said McManus, "so 
I had to shoot him." 

"Try again," said Cleary. 'I don't be- 
lieve you." 

Once again McManus told his story, 
this time admitting that he shot the ski 
champion in cold blood with the inten- 
tion of stealing the car. He told how he 
had wiped away the fingerprints and 
footprints, knowing that either would 
give him away. 

"I forgot about the turtleback," he 
told Hogin. "If I hadn't you never 
would have caught me." 

"As long as you kept the gun, we had 
a chance," the sheriff replied.

McManus entered a plea of guilty to 
first degree murder in the Stanislaus 
County Superior Court. Because of his 
confession and physical disability, Dis- 
trict Attorney Cleary did not demand 
the death penalty. 

On May 6. Superior Court Judge L. 
J. Maddux sentenced William Mc- 
Manus to life imprisonment in Folsom 
Penitentiary for the murder of Eilif 
Deraas. 



SLAPPING PISTONS 

To determine which piston or pistons 
are doing the slapping, points out the Na- 
tional Automobile Club, short out each 
cylinder by disconnecting the spark 
cable. The guilty one will show up in the 
decreased noise it makes. The engine of 
course, should be thoroughly warm for 
the test. 



DRIVING VISIBILITY 

One out of five fatal trafSc accidents 
occurs because of poor driving visibility, 
points out the National Automobile 
Club. Rainy weather blurs your wind- 
shield and clouds the highway, so drive 
with special care and always try to keep 
vour windshield clean. 



OVERINFLATED TIRES 

Overinflated tires cause hard riding, 
according to the National Automobile 
Club. 



WHY CHANGE OIL? 

Why should crankcase oil be changed ? 
Because, points out the National Auto- 
mobile Club, it breaks down after con- 
tinued use under tremendous heat and 
because it becomes dirt and grit laden. 
The best way to emphasize these points 
is for the motorist to take a look at the 
dirty oil next time he has his crankcase 
drained. This makes a graphic and im- 
portant lesson. 

RATTLES 

Remember that the fender guard at- 
tached to the bumpers of most cars are 
subject to pressures and vibration that 
may loosen them and cause them to 
rattle, points out the National Automo- 
bile Club. It is one of the many types of 
noise that has a way of being picked up 
and transmitted to another part of the 
car, making it difficult to locate. 



YELLOW LIGHT 

Running that yellow light is a danger- 
ous practice, points out the National 
.Automobile Club.

\ ou can take care of those anno.\ ing 
squeaks that come from the hood metal 
rubbing against the slick and hardened 
weblike material that runs around the 
cowling, l^he trick to this is simply add- 
ing a fair amount of graphite to the web- 
like material to make things slip about 
more smoothly and soundlessly. Other 
squeaks owing to loose brackets here and 
there throughout the car can be elimi- 
nated by tightening up those brackets. 

Squeaking or rattling doors or win- 
dows are not much of a problem either. 
\ ou can take the rattle out of the door by 
merely re-setting the adjustable bufier 
that presses the door against the lock. 
And you can take the rattle out of that 
window by merely renewing the rubber 
channels in which the glass slides or by 
adding those inexpensive anti-rattle gad- 
gets carried in most car supply stores. 

Try some of those tricks. Even though 
your car is ancient, you will find that 
you, too, can ride along in silent serenity. 



TRAFFrC REGULATIONS 

^Vise motorists know that traffic rules 
and regulations and the laws of safety 
on which they are based operate to the 
motorists' advantage and that it is to 
their ad\antage to see that these rules 
operate. 1 hey therefore, according to the 
National Automobile Club, practice a 
great deal of self enforcement of these 
rules and regulations. ^Vhat is your atti- 
tude towards the traffic laws and regula- 
tions? Do you practice a wise self en- 
forcement ? 



REMEMBER SHOCKS 

Shock absorbers, even of the most ad- 
vanced design, will generate considerable 
heat in operation, points out the National 
Automobile Club. The heat, in turn will 
evaporate the fluid with which they are 
filled. It is one of those natural laws that 
science has not been able to o\ercome so 
the wise motorists will remember that 
and have the fluid level checked periodi- 
callv, at least every ten thousand miles. 



CARBON MONOXIDE 

Tests have shown that an automobile 
following another closely in heavy traffic 
can pick up enough carbon monoxide 
from the exhaust of the first vehicle to 
ha\e its distinct physical effect upon the 
following driver, reports the National 
Automobile Club. It is something to 
keep in mind if you find yourself sudden- 
ly inclined to drowsiness when driving in 
imdulv hea\v traffic.

TRUCK OWNERS KNOW 

Truck tires naturally come at higher 
prices than those for passenger cars, 
points out the National Automobile 
Chib. Wheel wobble due to bearing wear 
or wear in other parts makes tires wear 
out more rapidly. Because the penalty 
attached costs considerable money, truck 
operators guard against it. In their policy 
there is an excellent lesson for the owner 
of the passenger cars. 



NEW CAR PURCHASE 

Even before one goes forth in search 
of a new car, one should make up one's 
mind regarding the body style that most 
nearly fits one's needs, advises the Na- 
tional Automobile Club. With so many 
types available today, this is more diffi- 
cult, but the careful buyer will have 
made a thorough study of his needs and 
determined which type meets them ade- 
■ quately before he starts his shopping trip. 
A mistake in this case is too expensive. 
A little thought will prevent errors.

MOVING FROM CURB 

When you move out from the curb, 
move out with caution, advises the Na- 
tional Automobile Club. Wait for an 
opening in the stream of traffic, and sig- 
nal your intention clearly. This is the 
course of common courtesy, and of com- 
mon sense. 



TAKE CORNERS SLOWLY 

Go around those corners slowly, ad- 
vises the National Automobile Club. 
Squeegeeing around corners at high 
speeds will scrape miles off your tires. 



RAILROAD CROSSINGS 

It takes enormous braking power and 
a considerable distance to bring a long 
passenger train or a fast freight to a stop. 
That is why, according to the National 
Automobile Club, the wise motorist al- 
ways treats railroad crossings with a 
great deal of respect. He comes to a full 
stop and takes a good look up and down 
the tracks before venturing over. He's 
careful at the crossings, and he doesn't 
get himself killed. 

HAND SIGNALS 

Hand signals are a modern motoring 
must, reports the National Automobile 
Club.

for lost parties and crashed airplanes and 
at times for helping to combat forest fires. 
From his plane Lieutenant Heck can 
skillfully guide the ground parties by 
walkie-talkie to plane communication. 

When you consider the great contri- 
butions this flying service can make to a 
department, it is hard to realize that six 
\ears ago such a service did not knowing- 
Iv exist in the countrv. 



WORTH REMEMBERING 

The fact that the oil level shows full 
on the gauge does not mean always that 
the crankcase is full of oil, points out the 
National Automobile Club. It may be 
that part of the supply is made up of 
gasoline seeped down from the cylinders 
where it never was burned. Crankcase_ 
ventilation takes care of this to a great 
extent, but in the case of a car with 
badly fitting piston rings, the burden may 
be too heavy. 

DON'T RUN 

If you wear rubber overshoes, don't 
run near traflflc during rainy weather, ad- 
vises the National Automobile Club. 
Rubber overshoes, like smooth tires, will 
slip easily on wet pavements, and a slip 
jiear traffic can be fatal. 

EMERGENCY AID 

Pushing another car, which has dis- 
placed towing it in many an emergency, 
is not harmful to the mechanism of the 
\ehicle doing the pushing if it is dri\en 
carefully, points out the National Auto- 
mobile Club. Clutch and tires, the com- 
mon sufferers, are not damaged if they 
are given a chance to take on the extra 
load gradually. It involves starting gent- 
Iv and picking up speed slowly and even- 
ly. 



LOCK MUST LOCK 

That cotter pin that locks the nut on 
the wheel must really lock it. points out 
the National Automobile Club. If the pin 
is broken when remoxed, it is not safe to 
try to use it, or what is left of it, again. 
A new pin costs but a few cents and is 
worth its weight in gold from a safety 
standpoint. 

KEEP SUPPLY NORMAL 

If pro\ision is made for carrying spare 
headlight fuses, the supply should be re- 
plenished as rapidly as the spares are 
used, advises the National Automobile 
Club. The supply, otherwise, may be- 
come exhausted just at the wrong time.

CHIEF CATO RETIRES 

Chief E. Raymond Cato, command- 
ing officer, Division of Field Operations 
and a member of the California High- 
way Patrol for the past 23 years, an- 
nounced his retirement from active duty 
on March 31. His action brings to a 
close an active enforcement career which 
spans more than 43 years. 

Legislation abolishing the position of 
Chief of the California Highway Patrol 
is now before the Governor for his sig- 
nature and the job will be filled in the 
future by an Assistant Commissioner. 
B. R. Caldwell, Patrol Commissioner 
has named Fred J. Bly, Supervising 
Traffic Inspector and veteran of 29 years 
of patrol work, as the acting Command- 
ing OflScer of Field Operations. 

Cato came to the Highway Patrol at 
the invitation of the late Governor James 
Rolph, Jr., leaving the Los Angeles Po- 
lice Department where he was Captain 
of Detectives, to take command on Janu- 
ary 6, 1931. Though he reported on a 
loan arrangement, he has served as Chief 
continuously since that time. 

On March 10, he celebrated his 65th 
birthday and at the same time reached 
compulsory retirement age for a member 
of the Highway Patrol. 

Cato first entered enforcement work 
as a patrolman with the Los Angeles 
Police Department on September 26, 
1910. He advanced through the ranks 
and was number three on the list for 
Chief of Police when he came to Sacra- 
mento to succeed Eugene Biscailuz, then 
Superintendent of the Highway Patrol, 
now Sheriff of Los Angeles County. 

When he arrived in Sacramento, Cato 
found a statewide force of fewer than 
350 officers. At the present time total 
patrol strength is 1526 uniformed mem- 
bers and 571 civilian employees. Recent 
legislative action has approved an in- 
crease of 220 members of the patrol 
which will bring total strength, members 
and employees, to 2317. 

Reflecting on his 23 years of patrol 
service. Chief Cato recalls four news- 
making events that stand out as major 
accomplishments by the patrol in trouble- 
free handling of traffic. These occasions 
were the disastrous Montrose flood of 
1943, the Long Beach earthquake of 
1933, the first mooring of the Airship 
Macon at what is now Moi?ett Field, 
and the opening of the San Francisco- 
Oakland Bay Bridge in 1936. 

During Cato's tenure as Chief, the 
California Highway Patrol aided in the 
establishment of state patrols in Arizona, 
Idaho, Montana and Wyoming.

Having seen the California Highway 
Patrol gain recognition as the foremost 
state traffic enforcement organization in 
the United States, Cato now intends to 
"loaf and have some fun." 

A retirement dinner is being planned 
to be held in Governor's Hall, Sacra- 
mento on April 28. On May 13, the 
Chief and iVlrs. Louise Cato are embark- 
ing on a trip to the Hawaiian Islands. 

"We want to loaf and have some fun, 
so we're buying one-way tickets," the 
Chief declared. 



CHECK THOSE TABS 

Upon receipt of information that cur- 
rent registration renewals for the year 
1954 are practically complete, Commis- 
sioner B. R. Caldwell of the California 
Highway Patrol has announced that the 
patrol will immediately step up enforce- 
ment of those sections of the Vehicle 
Code relating to proper registration of 
motor vehicles. 

Motorists are reminded that the one 
red tab for 1954 is to be securely at- 
tached to the rear license plate. Under 
no circumstances is the front plate to be 
removed, though all drivers are requested 
to dispose of the 1953 license tab. 

Attention of all vehicle operators is 
also directed to the provision of the code 
which requires the registration certifi- 
cate to be displaj'ed in a manner that 
makes the name and address of the regis- 
tered owner plainly visible and legible 
from outside the vehicle. 



OUT OF NOWHERE 

The common remark after every traffic 
mishap is, "I didn't see the other car," 
or, if a pedestrian is involved, "He (or 
she) just appeared out of nowhere." It's 
easy to be taken unawares when you day- 
dream while driving, so always be doubly 
alert at the wheel, advises the California 
State Automobile Association. Vehicles 
and people don't just pop into existence 
in front of \ou unless your mind has 
been drifting out of time and space. 



KEEP WINDOW OPEN 

Even in cold weather, it pays to keep 
a window of your automobile open, says 
the California State Automobile Asso- 
ciation, which points out that good venti- 
lation at all times is the only assurance 
against dangerous carbon monoxide from 
exhaust fumes accumulating in your car. 
These fumes need not necessarily come 
from your own automobile ; they may be 
sucked into your ventilation system from 
other cars ahead of vou.

"then the dragon came./ 




Nobody tells a story like Daddy. The 
everyday woiid fades aivay as his words 
lead you into a new and shining land. 

And ivhat if the Dragon is a bit scary? 
You need only climb into Daddy's arms 
to be safe and secure again before it's 
time to sleep. 

To make those we love safe and secure 
is the vei'y core of homemaking. It is a 
privilege known only in a country such 
as ours, where men and women are 
free to work for it. 

And taking care of our own is also the 
way we best take care of our country. 
For the strength of America is simply 
the strength of one secure home 
touching that of another. 



Saving for security is easy! Read every word — now! 

If you've tried to save and failed, 
chances are it was because you didn't 
have a jilaii. Well, here's a savings sys- 
tem that really works — the Payroll 
Savings Plan for investing in U.S. 
Savings Bonds. This is all you do. Go 
to your company's pay office, choose 
the amount you want to save — a couple 
of dollars a payday, or as much as you 
wish. That money will be set aside for 
you before you even draw your pay. 



And automatically invested in Series 
"E" U.S. Savings Bonds which are 
turned over to you. 

If you can save only $3.75 a week on 
the Plan, in 9 years and 8 months you 
will have $2,137.30. 

United States Series "E" Savings 
Bonds earn interest at an average of 3 Vi 
per year, compounded semiannually, 
when held to maturity! And they can 



go on earning interest for as long as 19 
years and 8 months if you wish, giving 
you a return of 80'; on your original 
investment! 

Eight million working men and 
women are building their security with 
the Payroll Savings Plan. For your 
sake, and your family's, too, how about 
signing up today? If you are self- 
employed, ask your banker about the 
Bond-A-Month Plan.

San Francisco Public L^tilities Commis- 
sion. Dr. O. D. Adams, assistant super-

PEDESTRIAN RIGHT-OF-WAY 

Violation of the pedestrian right-of- 
way in crosswalks or at signalized inter- 
sections here, caused the deaths of seven 
pedestrians and injured nearly 300 others 
Lip to May 1, the San Francisco Chapter 
of the National Safet\- Council reported 
today. 

Iver C. Larson, executive vice presi- 
dent of the Chapter, charged that "lack 
of knowledge on the part of motorists 
about the pedestrian right-of-way law 
seems to be a leading factor in the high 
accident rate due to this violation." 

Larson warned drivers to observe the 
following State traffic laws to avoid a 
serious right-of-way accident involving a 
pedestrian : 

1. The driver of a vehicle must yield 
the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing 
the street or highway within any marked 
or unmarked crosswalk at an intersection, 
except where the traffic movement is 
being regulated by an officer or by traffic 
control signals. And at all times the mot- 
orist must exercise proper caution for 
safety of the pedestrian. 

2. In turning a corner at an intersec- 
tion controlled by traffic signals the driver 
must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians 
crossing with the green light. 

An\ dri\er who fails to observe the 
abo\e regulations and fatally injures a 
pedestrian may face a manslaughter 
charge in addition to a costly law suit, 
Larson pointed out.

AIR SQUADRON 



Not only does Sheriff Don Cox have 
at his disposal his full contingent of paid 
deputies and his colorful and well-known 
mounted posse, but he also has one of the 
west's most active air squadrons. 

Boasting a membership of 48 fliers, 30 
of whom own their own airplanes, the 
squadron was created about 14 years ago. 



The Sacramento squadron is one of the 
most active members of the Western 
States Association of Sheriffs Air Squad- 
rons, which includes between 30 and 40 
fling groups in California and other units 
in Nevada, Arizona and Oregon. 

The purposes of the organization are 
to have readv a volunteer flving force 



is in accordance with an agreement be- 
tween the members and the command. 

All of the airplanes in the Sacramento 
squadron are equipped with two way ra- 
dios. Some even have ship to ship com- 
munication facilities. The smallest planes 
are two passenger models. The larger 
carry five and six passengers. 




SACRAMENTO SHERIFF'S OFFICE AIR SQUADRON 



The late Tex Rankin, one of the nation's 
foremost stunt fliers, was the inspirational 
spark which led to the creation of the 
Sacramento County Sheriffs Aero Squad- 
ron. He was a member of the Los An- 
geles County Sheriffs Aero Squadron. 

Since its creation the Sacramento unit 
has been instrumental in the organization 
of sister squadrons in San Francisco, 
Monterey and Butte Counties. It also as- 
sisted the Fresno squadron in organizing 
the California Association of Sheriffs 
Squadrons. 



which can be used in national or local 
disasters ; to search for downed or lost 
aircraft or for persons who are lost or in 
distress in desert or mountain areas ; to 
assist in policing the air under the state 
air navigation act ; to cooperate with the 
federal authorities in the enforcement of 
safety regulations and to foster and pro- 
mote civilian aeronautics. 

In an emergency, the aircraft belong- 
ing to the members can be taken over for 
use by the Air Defense Command. This 



An annual function of the group is a 
goodwill flight in which the Sacramento 
Chamber of Commerce Aviation Com- 
mittee participates. This flight includes 
stops in various cities, both within the 
limits of California and in neighboring 
states. 

The activities of the squadron were 
disrupted only once. That was during 
World War II when nearly all of the 
unit's members were enlisted in wartime 
flying activities.

COX ADDS JUVENILE DIVISION 



A significant step forward in the battle 
against juvenile deliquency in Sacramen- 
to County was taken by Sheriff Don Cox 
when he named Lieutenant Robert 
Thomas and Deputy Herbert M. Ander- 
son as full time juvenile officers. 

This action, taken last October, marks 
the first time the Sacramento County 
Sheriff's Office has officers whose sole re- 
sponsibilities lay in the field of juvenile 
crime. 

Thomas, who has been with the sher- 
iff's office six years, formerly was with 
the identification department. Anderson, 
a patrolman prior to assuming his new 
duties, has been with the office about 
three and a half years. 

Both handled some juvenile cases be- 
fore taking over their new assignment 
but their experience naturally was lim- 
ited. This seeming lack of experience, 
however, is belied by the record they 
have amassed in the short six months 
since the formation of the juvenile de- 
partment. 

Thomas and Anderson have been re- 
sponsible for more than 100 arrests in 
the course of clearing over 300 cases re- 
ported to the sheriff's office. This in- 
cludes not only juvenile crimes but 
crimes committed against juveniles by 
adults. 

The department, new as it is, has prov- 
en itself as valuable to the sheriff's office 
as two way radios. 

One reason Thomas and Anderson 
have keen insight into the workings of 
juvenile minds may lie in the fact both 
are fathers, though their children are a 
bit young to be considered juveniles; 
Thomas' son is 14 months old and An- 
derson has two children, a son, 25^2, and 
a daughter, 1. 



The board of supervisors authorized 
the formation of the juvenile division af- 
ter Don Cox convinced them such a unit 
was sorely needed to cope with delin- 
quency in the county. 

Cox pointed out the county's growth in 
population was not limited to adults. 
Juveniles were assuming an ever increas- 
ing importance in crime and specialized 
men were needed to keep check on young- 
sters who otherwise might escape detec- 
tion for years until they committed a 
major crime. 



G. A. KAMINSKY DIES 

George A. Kaminsky, Sr., a well- 
known Sacramento police officer and 
brother of former Chief Fritz Kaminsky, 
died recently. 

He was 61 and had been ill for about 
two years. He was appointed to the Sac- 
ramento force January 18, 1923, and re- 
tired March 26, 1947. 

Most of his police service was on the 
narcotics detail in the detective bureau 
and and a patrolman in the tough West 
End of town. As a young man Kaminsky 
played semi professional baseball in the 
old Sacramento Valley League and after 
joining the department he was an in- 
fielder on the police team for 20 years. 

His son, George A., Jr., is a member 
of the police department. 

AVOIDS WEAR 

Some motorists may scoff at the neces- 
sity for frequent oil changes, points out 
the National Automobile Club, but it is 
a case of he who laughs first pays finally. 
The only preventive of worn cylinder 
walls is a lubricant with good body. 



EMERGENCY POLICE 

Approximately 150 men are registered 
for emergency police service in Sacra- 
mento. 

They are members of the auxiliary 
police unit of the Sacramento Civil De- 
fense and Disaster Corps. Nearly 50 men 
have received certificates for completion 
of a training program and the balance are 
in different stages of training. 

Police Captain Walter F. Sked is in 
charge of the trainees. He is assisted by 
the regular instructors at the police aca- 
demy and by outside authorities on radio- 
logical defense, highway patrol service, 
criminal identification and allied subjects 

SCISSORS TREATMENT 

Butch haircuts recently became vogue 
in the juvenile hall in Sacramento. 

Four youths wearing long, socalled 
ducktail hairdos underwent the scissors 
treatment at the order of Police Chief 
James V. Hicks. 

The chief labeled the pachuco hair 
style a trade mark of the hoodlum ele- 
ment and ordered that delinquents having 
their hair cut in that fashion would be 
subject to a free clipping. 

He pointed out his order had a two- 
fold purpose. First it was a health and 
safety measure. Secondly, Hicks said he 
hoped it would do away with the prac- 
tice of groups in adopting hairdos as a 
badge or mark. 

"We find that more and more of the 
youths we pick up as delinquents wear 
their hair in this style," he noted. 

The first youth who received a quick 
trim was arrested in connection with an 
attack on another boy. The three other 
boys were taken into custody for their 
part in the abduction of a 13-year-old 
girl.

CIVILIAN DEPUTIES 



Sheriff Don Cox's policy of keeping 
his office prepared to meet any emergency 
is typified in the Sheriff's Reserve, an or- 
ganization set up to train civilians in law 
enforcement work. 

Fifty-three certificates recently were 
presented to men who had successfully 
completed a 72-hour course of training 
under the direction of Lieutenant Robert 
Thomas of the sheriff's office. 

This training, which covered such 
fields as rules of evidence, the penal code, 
laws of arrest, patrol duties and collection 
of identification for preservation as evi- 
dence, was designed to give those taking 
the course a complete background in all 
phases of law enforcement so they would 
be ready in the event of an emergency. 

Businessmen, lawyers, laborers, school 
teachers, salesmen and doctors were in- 
cluded among those who received certif- 
icates at the end of the course. 

The program was the second to be 
given by the sheriff's office; the first was 
in 1951". 



RAUSCHERT NOW DDA 

Robert R. Rauschert, a longtime mem- 
ber of the Sacramento Police Depart- 
ment, has taken up a new job and a new- 
career as a lawyer. 

A member of the department for 14 
years, Rauschert recently took a leave of 
absence and joined the criminal division 
of District Attorney J. Francis O'Shea's 
office as a deputy. 

During most of his police career Raus- 
chert was a detecti\e. He handled the 
major crime and other details and two 
years ago was assigned as liaison man 
between the police department and the 
district attorney's office replacing Otis 
Feil who was promoted to a sergeantcy. 

In his spare time Rauschert studied 
law at McGeorge College of Law in Sac- 
ramento and was admitted to practice last 
July. 

The City Civil Service Board, inci- 
dentally, paid a high compliment to Raus- 
chert in granting him a year's leave. 
Granting a man a leave to take another 



job is almost unheard of. But Rauschert 
had the strong backing of Chief of Police 
James V. Hicks, who pointed out to the 
board Rauschert would be gaining in- 
valuable experience which would help 
him considerably if he decides to return 
to police work. 



MONSON HEADS DEPUTIES 

Monrad Monson, a veteran member of 
Sheriff Don Cox's staff, is the new presi- 
dent of the Sacramento County Deputy 
Sheriffs Association. 

He was elected recently to succeed Ed- 
ward Bristo. 

Other officers are: David Mason, vice 
president ; Harold Guerin, secretary- 
treasurer; Ray Lagomarsino, sergeant at 
arms. The members of the board of di- 
rectors are: William DeLaMater, Lago- 
marsino, Leighton L. Littlejohn, Tom 
Howard Ray Peppers, Eugene Lant and 
Herbert Anderson.

PISTOL POINTING 



THE SAN FRANCISCO 
MATCHES 

The opening matches for 1954 at the 
S. F. Police range on Sunday started off 
with a hoop-de-doodle record crowd of 
195 shooters which gave the range per- 
sonnel a real workout and made the 
shooters quite late in getting home to

do too well but he had a lot of fun. And 
while speaking of Phil I must say that 
last year he established a new world's 
NRA record for the 30-06 big bore rifle 
at 600 yards and the record still stands. 
As for me I could never get in that 
match as it's about all I can do to see 
the target at 50 yards, let alone 600 of 
'em! ! 



And wonders will never cease. The 
Oakland Police Department finally 
broke down and actually detailed their 
team to the matches and the boys were 
so shocked over the gesture they fell 
apart and finished seventh in the team 
matches. 

The bulletin board was literally cov- 
ered with "for sale" signs and one even 




mother and the family. The day was 
just made for shooting and the gang 
was really on the ball all day long. And 
where did that gang of new shooters come 
from??? Holy smoke, there were around 
40 of 'em and from all the states west 
from Washington to Montana. One of 
the boys was Phil Judd from Butte, 
Montana who dropped in after being 
away for about three years. Y'sec, Phil 
is in the sporting goods sales business 
and has been trying to synchronize his 
western trips with some of the matches 
out this way and this was the first time 
he made connections. Phil sez he didn't 



BOB CHOW— CHAMPION 

It's really fiuiny to watch how a 
group of shooters grow, then fade and 
grow again and finally round out into a 
real club of shooters. To take a horrible 
example let's look at the bunch from 
Sacramento headed by Les Narvaze. For 
years they have had a doctor on their 
staff and a dentist so last week they 
blossomed out with an attorney to get 
them out of scrapes, no doubt, and 
were smiling all over the joint that they 
had a swell club. A shooting club should 
do just that — shoot! Now if they are 
real smart they will get an instructor to 
teach 'em.

why is one of those questions that go tui- 
answered. 

The Hurlingame Police force is doing 
their darndest to get themselves a pistol 
range so last month Sgt. Sheehan and Al 
Lena promoted a dance to raise funds 
for their venture. The affair was held at 
Bob's on the highway with over 300 in 
attendance and about a thousand dollars 
worth of tickets sold — and that there is 
quite some frog-skin.s. By the way, Al

TRAFFIC DEATHS DROP 



Traffic Captain Patrick J. Bennett 
points with pride to reductions in the 
death, injury and accidents rates in Sac- 
ramento during 1953. 

There were 15 deaths, a decrease of 21 
per cent over the previous year ; 1 ,48 1 
injuries, a decrease of 5.5 per cent, and 
4,776 accidents, a reduction of 10 per 
cent. 



four years has been good, especially in the 
fields of traffic enforcement and accident 
records. 

"National Safety Council recognition 
has proven this fact. Sacramento's Safety 
record for the year 1953 is more out- 
standing than in previous years. This is 
the first time in nine years that through 
increased safety eefforts the property

There were so many of them that they 
endangered light aircraft during takeofis 
and landings. 

It was about 8 o'clock on a cloudy

his men lined up at one end of the air- 
field and started their march to the other 
side. Shotguns blasted and one by one 




SCRAMBLE PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS WERE INTRODUCED TO CALIFORNIANS IN SACRAMENTO 



He noted there are approximately 90,- 
000 automobiles registered within the city 
limits. This is approximately one car to 
every 1.6 persons, a higher registration 
rate per capita than in any other city in 
the country. 

Commented Bennett: 

"These figures, I believe, will indicate 
that Sacramento is doing a splendid job. 
The city's traffic safety record in the past 



damage, injury and fatal accidents ha\c 
been decreased." 

In true dragnet fashion, the Sacra- 
mento police, led by Chief James V. 
Hicks, opened war on the municipal air- 
port's jackrabbit population awhile back 
and did away with more than 200 of the 
long eared animals. 

The purpose of Operation Jackrabbit 
was to clear the airport runways of most, 



jackrabbits toppled head over heels in the 
tall grass at the sides of the runways. 

There was an air of merriment among 
the officers, clad in old hunting clothes, 
but they were deadly serious in the bull- 
eye department. Very few rabbits which 
got in range of the sharpshooters got 
awa\'.

EXPANDING CITY 



June, 1954 



The thriving City of Sunnyvale is a 
city of homes, gardens and factories. It 
is also a city of active civic leaders and 
community boosters, whose efforts are in 
no small measure responsible for Sunny- 
vale's remarkable growth. 

It is a city of enthusiastic, energetic 
personalities, the full listing of which is 
impossible in the space of one article.

"I might as well keep going as long 
as I can," is her philosophy. 

Another of the more prominent per- 
sons in Sunnyvale is Henry W. Lloyd, 
plant manager at Bowser, Inc., manu- 
facturer of gasoline pumps. 



Sunnyvale will soon have a new medi- 
cal center through efforts of Dr. How- 
ard G. Diesner, who has practiced medi- 
cine in Sunnyvale about 20 years. He re- 
ceived his doctor of medicine degree 
from the University of Illinois and went 
to Southern Pacific Hospital in San 
Francisco for his internship.

Those personalities, selected at ran- 
dom by a wandering reporter, leaders as 
Mrs. Edwina Benner, who makes her 
home at 321 Frances St. She holds the 
distinction of being the first woman 
Mayor in the State of California. She 
held that office in Sunnyvale twice in 
1^24 and again in 1938. She came 
here in 1907 and became office manager 
for Libbv McNeill & Libbv canncr\ iji

Lloyd, a native of Los Angeles, came 
to Sunnyvale about seven years ago. He 
lives at 530 Yosemite Ave., Moimtain

In additioti to his job as plant mana- 
ger, he is West Coast controller for his 
firm. Lloyd is a member of the executive 
board of the Santa Clara Comity Coun-

He is also past president and a mem- 
ber of the board of directors of the

Blackmore Serves Quarter Century 



As of today the San Jose Police De- 
partment is made up of 133 men and 
women under the general supervision of 
Chief J. Raymond Blackmore who re- 
cently wound up his 25th year as a mem- 
ber of the force. 

From Blackmore 's general command, 
the authority necessary for efficient op- 




Chief Blackmore 

eration descends in a manner patterned 
closely after the military. 

Assistant Chief Joel Carter, serving 
his 28th year with the department, acts 
as chief in the absence of Blackmore. At 
other times, he is charged with responsi- 
bility of keeping books pertaining to pris- 
oners' personal property and bail, sched- 
uling court appearances of arrested per- 
sons, and seeing that they get to court 
according to these schedules. He also 
maintains work schedules for men who 
patrol the city's beats. 

In these duties and a host of others. 
Carter is assisted by Donald DeMers, 
the department's inspector of operations, 
who is specifically charged with overall 
training in the organization, maintaining 
police manual, and general disciplinary 
matters. 

The detective bureau, which follows 
up investigation of criminal matters, is 
directed by Chief of Detectives Barton 
L. Collins. Also under his direction is 
the juvenile department which takes 
cases involving minors. Only a small 
number of cases processed each month 
by this unit are of a criminal nature and 
the greater part of these are settled with- 
out court action. 



Capt. Melvin Hornbeck heads traffic 
law enforcement and accident investiga- 
tion. Hornbeck's efforts can be best de- 
scribed as an unending effort to keep 
death off San Jose's streets. 

In the Bureau of Identification, Ken- 
neth Jordan superintends operations. He 
has an assistant, Peter DeLuca, and five 
identification officers, all women. Ihis 
department is responsible for photo- 
graphing and fingerprinting all persons 
arrested. Fingerprints must be classified 
and filed for future reference and made 
available for other police agencies 
throughout the nation. 

Capt. Arthur Philpot is the city's traf- 
fic analyst. His department collects facts 
concerning traffic movement and studies 
how to keep it moving swiftly and safely 
through the streets. 

Ne.\t there is Sgt. Edward Pracna, 
who supervises the activities of 200 vol- 
unteers who make up the au\iliar> 
police. 

Capt. Thomas Short, a veteran of 34 
years in the department, is in charge of 
the desk and street sergeants and 91 uni- 
formed patrolmen. His hours of duty are 
in the late afternoon and night when pa- 
trol activity is of the greatest importance. 

In San Jose 25 men take shifts to 
roam the streets in automobiles and on 
two- and three-wheeled motorcycles. 
Sometimes these gents make you very un- 
happy indeed but they strictly enforce 
traffic laws to an important end — that of 
keeping you alive. 

San Jose's traffic police are under the 
direction of Capt. Melvin Hornbeck 
who has three sergeants, Joseph S. Az- 
zarello, Ernest Anderson and Seymour 
Wakeman. 

Azzarello is in charge of the patrol 
work while Anderson's and AVakeman's 
duties are confined largely to follow-up 
investigations. The latter two try to de- 
termine whether illegal acts have been 
contributing factors in accidents, or they 
compile evidence for prosecution if it 
must be obtained. 

Six patrolmen work in radio cars. 
They investigate accidents and make re- 
ports immediately after the crashes oc- 
cur. 

It's unlikely wives can keep their hus- 
bands from finding out how they got 
that banged-up fender because there will 
be a couple of those lads at the scene 
of the accident before the dust settles. 
Invariably, they will just ask for the 
facts, ma'am, just the facts — including 
age. 



The men who may ask those questions 
ill a quiet way are Fred Hoffman, Louis 
Haller, John IVIattern, Floyd Kuehnis, 
Charles Cardona and Nal North. 

Those who may bring sadness to your 
heart by putting expensive numbers on a 
slip of paper to take to the judge after 
you have been slipping along about 50

Joseph B. Vittoe, Thomas O'Connell,

Cardoza, Thomas Kinney, Keith Mel- 
ton, Ray Gray or Merlin Wheatley. 

Some of these lads spend a good bit 
of their time riding around the village 
on three-wheeled motorcycles slapping 
\ellow tags on cars which have been 
parked longer than the meter says they 
should or longer than you thought they 
HAD been. 

But, all in all, ticket or no ticket, the 
traffic boys are just trying to keep you 
alive and \vt\\ and they are doing a good 
job. 



OVERINFLATE 

Is it better to overinflate or underin-

Club, are emphatic on the point: over- 
inflation is much to be preferred.

June, 1954 



MOUNTAIN VIEW — Selecting 
persons typifying the community and 
civic leadership of Mountain View is 
like dropping 100 or 200 names in a hat 
and then drawing a few of them. 

Mountain View is an old community 
but it has grown so fast a majority of 
its citizens are now relative newcomers. 
Its two school superintendents, Kenneth 
N. Slater for the elementary schools and 



Elementary and High Schools and from 
San Jose Normal School, as San Jose 
State College was then called. 

He has always been active in commu- 
nity affairs, serving on fund raising com- 
mittees such as Community Chest and 
taking part in Chamber of Commerce 
work. His responsibility as head of the 
city's elementary school system has ex- 
panded tremendously since World War 



Escuela Ave., and Escuela is the Spanish 
word for school. 

Over a year ago another school was 
built and this time his self-effacing ef- 
forts to prevent his name from being 
attached to the school were overruled by 
sentiment of trustees, teachers and citi- 
zens. Kenneth N. Slater School is now a 
reality. 

Mrs. Lawrence Armanini is relatively

however, and he was born in Mountain

was graduated from Mountain View

II, of course, and he has furnished the 
leadership which has won public support 
for bond issues to finance necessary 
school expansion. 

Some years ago he succeeded in 
thwarting a move to have one of the dis- 
trict's new schools named for him. It is 
still called Escuela School because it is on 



a Mountain View old timer, having lived 
in the city 23 years, but her activity in 
civic affairs, in raising a family of four 
daughters and in helping her husband 
operate the Armanini Drug Store belie 
any inference that may be attached to 
the term "old timer."

FOOTHILL CITIES 



Los Gatos, nestled in the foothills of 
tilt- ^^'est Valley, is home to many people 
whu have had interesting careers, mili- 
tai\ experiences and business promi- 
nence. Here are but a few of the people 
w ho are well-acquainted with the town 
because they come in daily contact with 
its inhabitants. 

E\eryone knows Ed Soderberg, the 

>eLretary-manager of the Los Gatos 

Chamber of Commerce. Soderberg — 

mustached, friendly and "one of the 

I better-dressed men in Los Gatos" — is in 

i his second year at the iVIain St. chamber 

I office. He's got his wife on the job, too. 

! Mrs. Soderberg was hired as C of C 

receptionist in April. 

Mr. Secretary-Manager is a former 
newspaper reporter, editor and publisher. 
He came to Los Gatos in 1950 and his 
first role here was manager of the local 
theater. 

The Soderbergs live at 54 Mullen 
Ave. They have two married daughters 
and don't deny they're grandparents. 

Prentiss Brown doesn't work for the 
Chamber of Commerce but he says, after 
23 years in Los Gatos he wouldn't work 
anyplace else. Brown, in the field of edu- 
cation for 30 years, came to Los Gatos 
Union High School as principal and dis- 
trict superintendent and he's got the 
same job today. 

"This is a pleasant place to work — 
the young people come from fine homes 
and we receive splendid co-operation 
from parents," he says. 

Before coming to Los Gatos, Brown 
was superintendent in Baker, Ore. 

After receiving his bachelor of arts de- 
gree from University of Oregon, Brown 
came to Stanford University for gradu- 
ate work. That was during the depres- 
sion and he says when the Los Gatos 
high school job opened up he grabbed it 
— and he's not sorry. 

The superintendent has been instru- 
mental in the planning of high school ex- 
pansion. He and his wife live at 16730 
Magneson Loop. They have two daugh- 
ters, one a teacher in Stockton High 
School. 

Mrs. Martin Fremont of 443 No. 
Santa Cruz Ave. thinks a woman gets 
a feeling of accomplishment from par- 
ticipating in cure activities — a feeling 
that can never be attained washing dishes. 
The wife of a Los Gatos veterinarian 
and mother of two young children, Mrs. 
Fremont has found time to advise a 
Brownie troop, serve on the Los Gatos 
Advisory Committee for a new town 



park, and serve as secretary of the Los 
Gatos Council. 

In addition she has been active on the 
\'outh Centers' Finance Committee. A 
former resident of San Francisco, she has 
lived here six years and believes a small 
town can have many active groups be- 
cause it's easier to reach people and to 
enlist their co-operation. 

Keeping the Town of Los Gatos in 
good civic shape is the job of Karl Bald- 
win. Baldwin was appointed town man- 
ager by councilmen last May. 

The young public administrator came 
here from San Mateo where he was as- 
sistant city manager. 

During ^Vorld War II he served as 
a Navy lieutenant (jg) in the South 
Paciiic Area. He and his wife Eileen live 
at 148 New York Ave. 




Chief L. M. Phillips of Los Gatos 

Western-garbed Jeff England, 91, was 
an Indian scout for Bill Cody. He has 
lived a rustic life in the Santa Cruz 
mountains for five or six years. 

He was a member of the Dawson 
party who went to Alaska during the 
gold rush and founded the town of the 
same name. 

When England comes to town, he 
usually indulges in a bit of oyster stew 
at a local restaurant. 

Mrs. Carl Stephenson has one of the 
more unique first names. She was named 
Coquille after a river in Southern Ore- 
gon. 

"Coke" as her friends call her is the 
court clerk of the Los Gatos-Saratoga- 
Campbell judicial district, a job she's 
held for two and a half years. 



She and her husband and three chil- 
dren have lived in Los Gatos eight 
years. They reside at 18640 Maude Ave. 
Active in masonic organizations, Mrs. 
Stephenson is associate matron of Los 
Gatos Chapter of Eastern Star. 

Whether he's driving a police car or 
riding a police motorcycle. Officer Bill 
Griswold is a "friendly cop." 

Griswold joined the Los Gatos force 
in 1948. He attended police school in 
Santa Rita and was an M.P. in the 
Army during World War II. He and 
his wife, Joan, and one daughter live at 
16870 Fillmer Ave. 



SARATOGA 



Saratoga, a residential community 
bounded by orchards and subdivisions, is 
home to an estimated 2700 persons. Al- 
though unincorporated, the area has an 
expanded elementary school district, a 
newly reorganized chamber of commerce, 
and active community groups. 

A well-known Saratoga resident is 
Postmaster Lewellyn B. Peck. Peck ar- 
rived here in 1921 to publish the weekly 
Saratoga Star. A newspaperman of long 
standing, he had been on the staffs of 
several California dailies including the 
Fresno Republican and the San Fran- 
cisco Call. 

His wife is Mrs. Lida O'Bannon 
Peck, retired adult education teacher in 
San Jose, Los Gatos and San Mateo 
County Adult Centers. They have two 
sons and three grandchildren. 

Peck belongs to Saratoga Lions, Sara- 
toga Men's Club and the Federated 
church. He and Mrs. Peck live on Or- 
chard Road. 

A man who travels the West Valley 
every day and who makes his home in 
Saratoga is Judge Paul ^V. Crawford, 
head of the Los Gatos-Saratoga-Camp- 
bell Judicial District. 

Crawford started his law career as an 
attorney in Los Animas, Colo. After 
coming to Saratoga seven years ago, with 
his wife, Althea, Crawford was ap- 
pointed judge in Saratoga. Then in Jan- 
uary, 1953, when the judicial district 
was created by a constitutional amend- 
ment, he was elected to the post. 

Mr. and Mrs. Crawford live at 2800 
Wordell Road. 

Charles Hunter has been in the bank- 
ing profession for 14 years. In Saratoga, 
he manages the Bank of America, and 
has been manager of branch banks in 
Diiiuba and Los Gatos. Hunter came 
here in November, 1951.

WATCH SPEED LIMITS 

California motorists planning to drive 
over freeways and turnpikes in the East- 
ern United States are cautioned by the 
National Automobile Club to observe all 
posted speed limits. 

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commis- 
sion and other state bodies have recently 
made drastic reductions in these speed 
limits in various areas in a concerted 
effort to cut down on the large number of 
serious and fatal traffic accidents. 

Typical of the ways in which the au- 
thorities are cracking down on speeders 
is the practice on the new Turner Turn- 
pike between Oklahoma City and Tulsa 
of stamping the time on a driver's ticket 
when he enters and then checking it when 
he leaves. If, according to the time 
elapsed, he has driven this stretch faster 
than he should have, he is given a ticket 
for speeding. 

MAKE IT ROUTINE 

Car care, like brushing the teeth, 
reaches its zenith when it is made a 
routine proposition, points out the Na- 
tional Automobile Club. The efficient 
motorist is the one who has a regular 
schedule to which he rigidly adheres. In 
the matter of keeping the tires constant- 
ly at the right pressure, this system is an 
excellent one. Why not set aside a cer- 
tain day every week for this process ? 



YOU MAKE IT SAFE 

Your car is only as mechanically safe 
as you make it, points out the National 
Automobile Club. 

Approach all curves with caution, ad- 
vises the National Automobile Club. 



LET IT COOL 

Ten to fifteen minutes usually is re- 
garded as a sufficient interval to allow 
the engine to cool before adding water if 
the radiator content has become unduly 
low causing the motor to become over- 
heated, reports the National Automobile 
Club.

PISTOL POINTING 

(Continued from page S) 

Lena is in charge of the kids' program at 
the range and has his official NRA in- 
structor's arm band and a swell group 
of kids in the class. 

By now you probably know the re- 
gional matches have been definitely called 
off in Bakersfield with the probability of 
them going south — mayhap to San Diego. 

And who do you think is back at the 
range ? None other than Sgt. Cliff Smith 
who announced his retirement a few 
months ago only to come begging for his 
job when he found it wasn't so much fun 
being a civilian. Sgt. Gus Palmiri was 
taking over for a while (and well liked, 
too) but the constant popping of the 
guns got his ears so the doctor told Gus 
to get where it was quieter. This made 

Cliff sore as the devil — oh, yeh? 

Captain Jacobs, of the California 
Highway Patrol, informs me he is very 
anxious to hold a couple of pistol matches 
on his own up in Woodland this spring 
and maybe a couple more in the fall. 
Cap will sponsor the matches himself to 
see if the shooters would be interested 
in such a match. Woodland is about 100 
miles from S. F. and if one cared to stay 
over Saturday nite there is ample motel 
and hotel accommodations around the 
vicinity. More about the match as it 
progresses. 

One of my secret ambitions is to go to 
a pistol match and hear everyone say 
they are having a swell day and shooting 
swell scores. But I should live that long. 
Utopia and mavbe Technocracy or Eure- 
ka !! ! 

And the guy who bought target 13 
failed to show up all day long. Maybe 
the guy was superstitious and bought an- 
other set of squadding tickets on another 
target. 

And the boys were disturbed about the 
lateness of the matches.

THE OAKLAND MATCHES 

Speaking of a big opening day at the 
SF matches, just take a look at the open- 
ing day, March 7th, at Oakland with 
over 240 shooters laying down that long 
green for a chance at the medals they 
were passing out. There were five re- 
lays in each match and set a new club 
record, passing that established in 1940 
when they almost had five relays in each 
match, and as you already know the gang 
got home a lot later than the good wife 
intended they should. Some of the boys 
skipped the last match so as not to incur 
the wrath of the squaw — anyhow it was 
one swell day and to coin a new phrase, 
"a good time was had by all." 

Ray Ottoboni, one of the San Mateo 
sheriff's office, is also contemplating hold- 
ing a few shoots for the gang at the old 
pistol range in Colma. Ray is now hav- 
ing the range re-graded and plans on 
adding 8 more firing ponits bringing the 
total up to 24 in all. Within the next 
two months we should be hearing from 
Ray as to when the gala opening will be 
announced. 

After a two year lay-off ex-Lt. Cliff 
Hatch arrives on the lot all full of that 
vinegar and stuff expecting to slay the 
boys with his fancy pistolecring. Alas 
and alack, the long lay-off was too long 
for our hero and he flopped by the way-

side — and in a puddle of mud, too! ! Cliff 
still claims he is the perpetual maricsman 
and hopes never to get out of that class. 
Move over, Cliff, I'll be right with you. 

Ed Rosenberg was in a bad way all 
during the matches because he knew he 
had one bum, poorly loaded shell in the 
box but wasn't too sure as to which one 
it was. Every time he'd pull the trigger 
he didn't know whether it was going off 
or just — poof However, it didn't poof 
all day and by 1 1 o'clock Ed was so 
jumpy and full of the bounce he wasn't 
worth the powder to blow him up. 

One thing you have to say about Al 
Heath is that at least he is starting his 
wife's shooting lessons with a .22 gun in- 
stead of the usual .45 cannon a man 
thinks he should give his wife to begin 
her shooting career. After the wife gets 
her arm nearly jerked off from the .45 
monster she is more than ready to go 
back to knitting and baking — but does 
hubby start off with the .45 ? Oh, gosh, 
no — that's too tuff to start on. 

"Spike" Spiken tells me that this Sun- 
day that he has been nearer the 280 mark 
in the Camp Perry match than in over 4 
years. Spike just made 280 and for the 
rest of the day felt as though he really 
knew how to shoot. 

Tony Daily, of the Oakland Police 
Department, and Charley Johnson of 
Santa Cruz were shooting side by each 
in the .22 national match and each fin- 
ished with the identical score 89-92-91. 
Tony never got over the affair and for 
the rest of the day he made it a special 
point to tell everybody on the lot all 
about it. 

Y'know there is something I never 
could figure out and would like the an- 
swer — or some sort of an answer because 
1 don't think there is a real answer to it. 
Why does a guy have to tuck one of his 
pants legs into those low cowboy boots 
they wear? 

Lou Panecaldo, from Gridley, learns 
f^st, fast, fast. At his first shoot Sunday 
he had 9 shots on his target (which ain't 
bad for a tyro) but swears by the nine 
rrods that the shot he had in the 9 ring 
was a double. Some wise guy has been 
'■oaching Lou but Lou hasn't taken his 
lessons to heart as not a darn guy at the 
scorina; table could find that double. Nice 
tvv. Lnu, keep it up and some day mavbc 
1 on'll hit the jack-pot. 

In the first match of the day there 
were 64 shooters in the expert class but 
only three medals were given out which 
caused some to ask why don't they give 
out extra medals in that class when 
there were more than 24 entries. The 
answer is very simple. The only class in 
which extra medals are given out is in 
the marksman class. O.K. ? O.K.

Usually a stray dog runs up the hill in 
back of the backstops and delays the 
matches until the pooch is chased off. 
Sunday there were three kids running 
up the hill and later followed by some 
goof in an auto. Some one hollered out 
"to fire a shot across their bows" but 
that's just what they don't want to hap- 
pen as the shot might come closer than 
the bow. 

Ken Kolb, of the Highway Patrol, has 
a peculiar and fantastic way of getting 
in the news. Sunday he bellies up to the 
squadding window and buys tickets for 
all the matches — but no, he didn't buy 
'em because he discovered his wallet was 
gone — driver's license and cash. Left the 
darned thing home. And Ken just got 
thru giving a poor guy up near Vallejo 
a ticket for not having his driver's license 
with him! 

Pete Peters, of San Rafael, Jack 
Ahern, of the SFPD, and Ray Ottoboni 
of the San Mateo Sheriff's office are 
about the oldest shooters, in point of 
shooting years around the bay area. The 
three young fellows started at the old 
Kentfield range in 1927 and have been 
going ever since. That's kinda hard to 
believe as I don't think Jack was old 
enuf to lift a pistol in 1927. 

Merv Given, the range exec, sure be- 
lieves in getting things in shape for the 
day's shooting. Merv gets up at 4:30 on 
match days and within an hour is chug- 
ging up the hill toward the range so he 
can set the 50 yard targets out, clean 
the benches, cut the grass — and wake up 
Spike, the caretaker. Merv will go 
places — it may not be far but the boy is 
going.

PERSEVERANCE PAYS 

Proof that perseverance in police work 
pays off was e.xemplified in a case which 
had its beginning back in March when 
Sacramento Detective Carl Blasofsel 
came into possession of a bit of informa- 
tion which threw a light of suspicion on 
three men. 

The information was meager and not 
considered absolutely reliable. It labeled 
the trio as good burglary suspects. And it 
indicated the men were ready to pull a 
job. 

Blasofsel, whose dogged determination 
to see every case through to a successful 
conclusion is unmatched, began tailing 
the trio. He, with the aid of fellow de- 
tectives, North Sacramento police officers 
and sheriff's deputies, kept the three un- 
der surveillance day and night. Time 
passed but nothing happened. 

Once Blasofsel had reason to believe 
the men were planning a holdup. The in- 
formation appeared reasonably reliable 
so stakeouts were maintained on a couple 
of stores which were labeled likely tar- 
gets. Still no crime was committed. 

As time went on periodic checks were 
made on the trio and law enforcement 
officers were alerted of their suspected 
activities. 

Early one morning in April Assistant 
Chief of Police Percy Cassaway, Ser- 
geant Walter Land and Patrolman Pete 
Rineberg of North Sacramento saw the 
three cruising in the vicinity of a grocery 
market. The officers parked nearby where 
they could watch the rear door. 

When they saw the three force open 
the door they radioed for reinforcements. 
Five sheriff's cars and another North 
Sacramento police car responded and a 
cordon was formed around the market. 
When the burglars ignored orders to 
walk out some of the officers entered. 

Gassawa\' spotted one of the burglars 
hiding in a storeroom and told him to 
step out. \Vhen he did not respond Gass- 
away fired one shot over his head and 
again ordered him out. This time he re- 
sponded. Other officers routed the two 
others. Two of the burglars were armed. 
Subsequent investigations disclosed the 
three were responsible for another mar- 
ket burglary in which $500 worth of 
merchandise was taken. One of the men 
admitted he and his companions had 
planned to stage a holdup of the market 
in which they were caught but backed 
out. He also admitted a robbery of a 
Sacramento bar had been planned. 

Chief of Detectives George Lofquist, 
commenting on the work Blasofsel did, 
noted there is no substitute for persever- 
ance in the investigation of a case. No 
lead, regardless of how small it might be, 
can be overlooked, he said.

Special events on the institute calendar 
include two dinner meetings, a night 
baseball game between the Cleveland In- 
dians and the New York Yankees; and 
the final banquet Saturday noon, when 
certificates will be awarded to persons 
completing the course. 

Institute sessions will take place at the 
year-old, $800,000 coroner's office and 
laboratory in Cleveland, and at the near- 
by home of the WRU School of Law. 
Housing will be available at Claud

search study concerns homicide in Cleve- 
land, and first volume in the Center's 
legal medicine series will be "The Physi- 
cian in the Courtroom," to be published 
by the Western Reserve University Press 
this Spring. 

Detailed information and application 
forms for the Institute on Science in 
Law Enforcement are available from: 
Oliver C. Schroeder, Jr., Director, Law- 
Medicine Center, ^Vestern Reserve Uni- 
versity, Cleveland 6, Ohio. 



BEING TOO GOOD 

Some drivers, accorch'ng to the Na- 
tional Automobile Club, are so good that 
they become overconfident and indulge 
ui careless driving practices. Such motor- 
ists, points out the National Automobile 
Club, should remember that on our 
streets and highways, a little carelessness 
can kill.

EXPANDING CITY 

(Continued from page 10) 

a member of the board of trustees of the 
Fremont Union High School District 
for 17 years, the past 10 as its president. 

Burr M. Matthews came to Sunny- 
\ale 22 years ago and operates an appli- 
ance store and a real estate business. He 
lives at 85 Oak Ave., Mountain View. 

Matthews is a native of Pietermaritz- 
burg, South Africa, and was brought to 
the United States by his American father 
when he was 7 years old. He lived in 
Colorado and St. Louis before coming to 
California. 

Before coming to Sunnyvale, Matth- 
ews lived in Oakland for 12 years en- 
gaging in the contracting and building 
business. He is past president of the 
Chamber of Commerce and of the Sun- 
n>'vale Lions Club. 

The Rev. Charles S. Gienger, pastor 
of St. Martin's Church, has been largely 
responsible for the beautiful new St. 
Martin's Parochial School on Old San 
Francisco Road. 

He confided that he was sent here to 
accomplish just that in 1949. Father 
Gienger is a native of San Francisco 
who started his education for the priest- 
hood in 1918 at St. Patrick's Seminary 
in Menio Park. 

He was forced to interrupt this school 
for a five year period during which he 
left the seminary and worked for a large 
San Francisco store to assist his family. 

Later he was able to continue his edu- 
cation for his calling and was ordained a 
priest in 1933. 

H. Kenney Hunter is known, by name 
at least, to every Sunnyvale citizen. He 
is city manager. 

Hunter is a native of Nashville, 
Tenn., but came to Sacramento in 1922. 
He attended the University of Califor- 
nia in Berkeley, majoring in economics 
and taking graduate work in public ad- 
ministration. 

After employment with a management 
consultant firm in San Francisco for 
about three years, he joined the Califor- 
nia State Personnel Board. 

He became Sunnyvale's first city man- 
ager in December, 1949, when the new 
City Charter became effective. 

He is married, lives at 423 South- 
wood Drive and has two children. Hunt- 
er belongs to the Commonwealth Club 
of San Francisco, the Lions Club in 
Sunn)vale and to various associations of 
city managers and public administrators. 

Another well-known business man in 
Sunnyvale is Robert H. Hamilton, 
whose R. H. Hamilton Co. on N. Sun- 
nyvale Ave. manufactures store fixtures 
and does mill and cabinet work.

MOUNTAIN VIEW 

(Continued from page 12) 

Mrs. Armanini a native of San Fran- 
cisco, born May Jennings, and her par- 
ents have been South San Francisco 
druggists for the past 45 years. The Ar- 
maninis' daughters are Patricia, 20; 
Elaine, 18; Gail, 14, and Carol, 9. 

Her record of civic service in Moun- 
tain View includes seven years on the 
City Recreation Commission, chairman- 
ship of the annual city pet parade several 
years, PTA work, Woman's Club activi- 
ties and leadership in the Girl Scouts. 

In 1952 she was chairman of the city's 
highly successful united community fund 
drive for residential areas. She is a grad- 
uate of the University of California and 
a registered pharmacist. She admits that 
community activities, keeping up a home 
and raising four children, and helping 
regularly in the store do not allow her 
much time for cultivation of hobbies. 

A comparative newcomer to Moun- 
tain View is Francis ^Vallace, brisk 
young manager of the Mountain View 
Chamber of Commerce. Fran, as he is 
known to everybody in town, came to 
this job two years ago from a back- 
ground of salesmanship, five years with 
the American Red Cross and a year and 
a half with the National Safety Council. 
He was graduated from Macalaster Col- 
lege, St. Paul, Minn., in 1941. His Red 
Cross service began in 1939 when he was 
still an undergraduate. 

He had a look at California in 1941, 
liked what he saw, and persuaded the 
Red Cross to transfer him to San Fran- 
cisco in 1943. He and his wife, Ruth, 
ha\e two sons and a daughter. His hobby 
is Boy Scouts. 

He is presently district camp and did 
his post-graduate work in Emory Uni- 
versity, Atlanta, Ga. He is a member of 
Mountain View Kiwanis Clvib. For re- 
laxation he likes swimming, skating and 
taking his family to the beach. 

James K. Thomas is hardly a Moun- 
tain View old timer, arriving in the city 
from Grand Coulee Dam in AVashington 
State in July, 1939; but if he is a new- 
comer he must be classed as an old-time 
newcomer, since the big influx of popu- 
lation has been since then. 

Thomas has been city manager of 
Mountain View since October, 1952. 
He was first employed by the city in 
June, 1946, as superintendent of public 
works, and became citv administrator in 
1949. 

He and his wife, Elsie, have a daugh- 
ter, now Mrs. David E. Farlev, Camp- 
bell. 

"If you are going to say anything 
about me at all," he declared, "You must 
also mention that I have a grandson."

BONDS FOR JAIL 

Ihe culmination of years of work and 
effort on the part of Sheriff Don Cox 
may be in sight if Sacramento Count> 
voters approve a $3,000,000 bond issue 
which has been placed on the ballot for 
the June 8th elections. 

The bond issue, the first scheduled b\' 
the county government in 40 years, pro- 
vides $1,250,000 for the construction of 
a new county pail and $250,000 to re- 
model the present jail. 

This work, and higher pay for his 
deputies, are projects which Cox has ad- 
vocated unceasingly for many years. 

The sheriff pointed out the inadequacy 
of the present jail facilities time and again 
but failed to get the board of super- 
visors to act on his recommendations un- 
til this spring. 

A site for the proposed new jail has 
not been definitely selected yet but indi- 
cations are that it will be built adjacent 
to the present jail. 

Members of the board of supervisors 
had hoped to build it at the site of the 
Airport Road camp south of Sacramento 
but were informed bonding experts be- 
lieve it should be built next to the present 
facilities to make what they termed "a 
package deal" out of it. 

In addition, the county does not have 
completely clear title to the acreage 
where the road camp is located. 

Final plans for the nev^' jail have not 
been completed but Cox said it probably 
would be built in the form of an L and 
possibly would be 10 stories high. A 
garage and parking space could be pro- 
vided beneath the building. 

Cox said he would like to see the pres- 
ent facilities remodeled for use as a re- 
ceiving jail where prisoners could be held 
for short periods before being transferred 
to the new jail or to a road camp. 

Cox knows whereof he speaks when he 
points out the inadequacy of the present 
county jail setup. During his service he 
has seen the activity of the jail increase 
by at least six times, from 1,091 prison- 
ers to more than 6,000 who pass through 
the jail annually. 

He was appointed sheriff by the board 
of supervisors in 1932 to fill out the term 
of the late Ellis Jones when Jones re- 
signed. Cox started with the sheriff's 
office as a deputy in 1921 and advanced 
through the ranks to become under- 
sheriff, the post he held at the time of his 
appointment. 

Shortly after he went to work for the 
sheriff's office he took up the study of law 
as an aid to his law enforcement activi- 
ties. He was admitted to practice at the 
California State Bar in 1926 and has 
been a member of the bar association since 
then.

Cox's thorough background in law en- 
forcement and his e\erpresent desire to 
serve the residents of Sacramento County 
has made his office one of the finest in the 
state. 

His record shows Sacramento County 
is relatively free of major crime, ^^'hen it 
does crop up his able stafif works with 
speed and efficiency to eliminate it. Proof 
of this lies in the fact organized crime 
never has been able to gain even a toehold 
in the county since Cox took over as 
sheriff.

Cox does more than protect the people 
of Sacramento County from criminals. 
He looks after something which means 
much more to many people than their fear 
of criminals — their pocketbooks. 

Despite an increase in population and a 
corresponding expansion of law enforce- 
ment activities during the last 15 years 
Cox has been able to show a decrease in 
the cost of running the office in propor- 
tion to the number of prisoners handled. 

The June 8th elections, by the way, 
hold more interest for Cox than just the 
bond issue. He is on the ballot for reelec- 
tion to his sixth term as sheriff. Nothing 
to worry about, though. He has no op- 
position.

ORCHARD CITY 

The church, the school and the gov- 
ernment are integral parts of any com- 
munity. Campbell, the Orchard City, is 
proud of the persons who provide effi- 
cient leadership in these three spheres. 
Here are some of them. 

Mrs. Gussie Baker holds the honor of 
being the only woman superintendent in 
the county. As superintendent of More- 
land School District, she also watches 
over the oldest known school district in 
California. Moreland district was estab- 
lished in 1851. 

Mrs. Baker is also principal of More- 
land School (historical landmark 489), 
a job she has held since 1941. She has 
been superintendent since 1952. 

Entering the field of education 28 
years ago, Mrs. Baker got her first teach- 
ing e.xperience in the elementary schools 
of Modoc, Calif. She lives at 297 Carlyn 
Ave. 

Campbell's police chief, Bob Locke, 
has lived here since 1940. He was named 
to the force after the city incorporated in 
March, 1952. He then rose to the rank 
of senior officer and in November was 
named chief. 

He supervises an efficient four-man 
force and 15 auxiliary policemen. Locke 
served with the Army of Occupation in 
Korea with the counter-intelligence corps 
as an M.P. 

He and his wife. Merle, and four 
children live at 466 E. Casey Ave. 

Jack of all repairs — especially street 
repairs — is Le Roy H. Black, who heads 
the city's maintenance department. Black, 
a former Marine Corps sergant, moved 
here in September. 

A native of Santa Monica, he came to 
San Jose in 1948 with his wife. Norma, 
and young son, Richard. They live at 
126 E. Campbell Ave. 

Another essential figure in any com- 
munity is the postmaster. This job has 
been held for 20 years by Ira H. Grim, 
of 46 S. Third St. 

Grim has lived in Campbell since 
1919. He has been very active in civic 
affairs. He served two terms as president 
of the Chamber of Commerce, was chair- 
man of the 1954 Old Settlers Day Pa- 
rade, and is a member of the Kiwanis 
Club. 

Born and raised in West Virginia, 
Grim and his wife have five children. 

Leader of the community's second old- 
est church, the Campbell Congregational 
Church founded in 1889, is the Rev. 
Corwin H. Olds. Olds and his family 
have lived here five and a half years. 

He came here from Berkeley where he 
was an official in the Pacific School of 
Religion.

MISSION CITY 

Getting to know folks in the Mission 
City is easy when one strolls leisurely 
down Franklin St. where, sooner or 
later, all Santa Clara convenes to do 
business and to pass the time of day. 

Hub of the small city that is growing 
fast is the City Hall of course, where 
all doors are open and the city's oflBcial- 
dom is friendly and easy to approach. 

Take City Manager Joseph F. Base, 
for instance, who came here from Ellens- 
burg, Wash., to become Mission Town's 
Hrst city manager. In two years he has 
put the city on a sound operating basis 
with his background of 10 years experi- 
ence in civil, sanitary, and construction 
engineering. As busy as he is, a visitor 
can usually corner him for a few minutes 
of interesting and informative conversa- 
tion. 

En route to see the city manager, a 
City Hall visitor can always spot City 
Clerk A. S. (Steve) Belick, pecking at 
an adding machine, phoning, or talking 
over a problem with a taxpayer at the 
counter. Belick is a graduate of Univer- 
sity of Santa Clara and a veteran of 
WQrld War II in which he worked up 
the hard way from private to major in 
the field artillery. 

Downstairs is the office of City Attor- 
ney Robley E. Morgan, veteran lawyer 
and amateur photographer of considera- 
ble note. Morgan succeeded his partner, 
Judge Charles A. Thompson, in 1950 
when the latter retired. Thompson still 
retains his activity in the law office and 
is usually around discussing matters with 
his deputy of some 34 years standing. 

A man who knows every square inch 
of expanding Santa Clara is City Engi- 
neer Edgar C. Schott who maintains a 
busy little office downstairs in the rear 
of the City Hall building. The city's 
phenomenal rise from sleepy agriculture 
to bustling industry is a tribute to 
Schott's foresight. The suntanned engi- 
neer is a fishing and hunting enthusiast 
and plays the piano with a deft touch. 
Before becoming city engineer in 1940, 
Schott taught at University of Santa 
Clara. 

Around the corner of the building 
from Schott's office is the Police Depart- 
ment where Chief William J. Garrity 
directs operations. Garrity appointed to 
the post last year, is a graduate of the 
FBI police training course and was once 
chief of the Santa Barbara police force. 
When the charter was changed to make 
the post elective, the voters retained Gar- 
rity in office to continue his work of re- 
organizing the department.

Three years ago, Fire Chief Leonard 
George won the nomination for the job 
from all five volunteer fire companies 
in the city. George and other paid mem- 
bers of the regular fire department can 
be found in the brand new main fire 
station a few blocks from City Hall, un- 
less the city's raucous fire horn happens 
to be sounding at the moment. 

A city collector who carries on his offi- 
cial collection duties on an even grander 
scale at home is Willard N. Norris. Nor- 
ris has a unique hobby in that he gathers 
distinctive insignia, medals, and decora- 
tions of the U. S. military service. He's 
been doing it for some 22 years and has 
o\er 3000 badges and other decorations 
at his home. He served in the coast ar- 
tillery in the first world war. 

One of Santa Clara's proudest posses- 
sions is its efficient municipal electric de- 
partment and the man who heads it is 
Sherman D. Jackson. The electrical su- 
perintendent is continually on the move, 
supervising installation of new power 
units, checking lines and keeping the sys- 
tem up to snuft' at all times. 



SECOND CHANCE 

SANTA CLARA — The Juvenile 
Advisory Council was organized a few 
months ago to keep youngsters out of 
further trouble after they once become 
entangled with the law. It is headed by 
an attorney who lives in Santa Clara and 
practices law in San Jose. Austen War- 
burton, civic leader in the Mission City, 
holds down important post in the Santa 
Clara County organization to prevent 
juvenile delinquency. William Garrity, 
Santa Clara police chief, took the lead 
in forming the Juvenile Advisory Coun- 
cil. He wanted to give youngsters a sec- 
ond chance by putting behind them their 
first offenses. 

Boys and girls singled out for a second 
chance are those whom law enforcement 
officers feel will benefit by guidance 
rather than detention home confinement. 

The Juvenile Advisory Council meets 
the last Saturday in each month and 
ferrets out the cause of the child's be- 
havior. It studies testimony presented 
and makes a decision which does not 
have legal machinery behind it — but has 
an influence in the conuiiunity and on 
the child's future welfare. 

The council is comprised of two mem- 
bers of the clergy, the Rev. Paul Nelson 
of the Community Church of Santa 
Clara, and the Rev. Walter Schmidt, 
S.J., director of the Santa Clara Count\ 
Youth Center, and Miss Katherine Gra- 
ham and Joseph Laurenco, civic leaders. 
Police Chief Garrity and Mrs. Edna 
Mirrione, Santa Cliara police matron, 
also attend the juvenile council meetings.

HUNTING ACCIDENTS 

\\'^hat can be done to pre\ent hunting 
accidents and other mishaps involving 
sporting firearms? 

The most realistic approach to a solu- 
tion of this perennial problem is the so- 
called "New Hampshire Plan" — based 
on the premise that high school students 
given thorough training in safe gun han- 
dling will be spared shooting accidents. 

By mustering the officials in education, 
conservation, law enforcement and two 
authorities from ^Vestern-Winchester, 
the White Mountain State during the 
past year has established a program de- 
signed to teach every boy and girl in its 
public school system how to use a shot- 
gun or rifle without endangering them- 
selves and others. 

Several thousand youngsters in high 
schools throughout the state this spring 
are attending indoor and outdoor classes 
as an e.xtra-curricular activity. State 
authorities estimate than 30,00 boys and 
girls will be trained to handle guns safely 
within a few years. 

Although the New Hampshire Fire- 
arms Safety Education Program has been 
underway only since last September, it 
has proven so successful that those in 
charge plan to establish additional classes 
in junior high schools and in primary 
grades possibly by this September. Inter- 
est on the adult level is so great that 
three high schools in the state have started 
safety classes for experienced hunters, 
and sportsmen's organizations in other 
areas already have instituted moves to in- 
stall similar study sessions for all those 
interested in hunting or target shooting, 
regardless of how many years they have 
been handling firearms. 

New Hampshire took its first step in 
the pioneering effort "to make ever> 
shooter a safe shooter" in March of last 
year. Bowdoin Plumer, editor of the 
"Bristol Enterprise" and a member of 
the state legislature, conferred with offi- 
cials of the Department of Education, 
the Fish and Game Department and the 
State Police about possible steps which 
might be taken to establish a training pro- 
gram through the schools. 

When these officials agreed to take 
over the job of actuating such a program, 
legislation was prepared and immediately 
passed enabling any school district in the 
state "to include instruction in the safe 
and proper handling of firearms." 

The New Hampshire Firearms Safety 
Education Program then was prepared 
by Jack George, physical education di- 
rector of the Department of Education ; 
John Dodge, conservation educator for 
the Fish and Game Department ; James 
Dee, Western-^Vinchester's field repre- 
sentative in New Hampshire, and Vin-

cent Tiefenbrunn, shooting promotions 
director of Western-Winchester. Dee 
and Tiefenbrunn were called in as con- 
sultants because of their years of service 
in establishing junior shooting programs 
and because both are qualified National 
Rifle Association instructors. "Tief" also 
is a director of the association. 

As outlined in a booklet prepared by 
this quarter at the state capitol, the pro- 
gram called for the qualifying of at least 
one teacher in each high school as an 
NRA instructor in gun handling. Each 
of these trained teachers in turn would 
conduct classes which would give four 
hours of theory and practice of safety for 
every boy and girl. 

All procedures were to be based on 
those which have been established by 
the National Rifle Association. In addi- 
tion to instruction in the handling of all 
types of sporting firearms, the youngsters 
would be taught how to determine 
whether a gun or rifle was in proper con- 
dition for shooting. 

Copies of the program booklet were 
distributed throughout New Hampshire 
to officials of schools in each district, 
physical education instructors, YMCA 
personnel and to conservation officers and 
members of the state police. 

Reaction was immediate. A majority 
of the school superintendents and prin- 
cipals contacted the office of Jack George 
to request assistance in setting up safety 
classes. 

Although half a dozen schools from 
the start were able to begin sessions be- 
cause a qualified N.R.A. instructor was 
on the faculty, the majority sought infor- 
mation on how a teacher assigned to the 
program could receive the necessary 
training. 

With Jim Dee as technical advisor, 
the first few weeks of September were 
spent by Jack George and John Dodge 
in setting up classes in six public high 
schools ready to take part in the pro- 
gram. In addition to these schools, they 
answered a request from two of the 
state's largest parochial high schools to 
give them help. 

Their net step was to qualify all con- 
servation officers and a group of state 
police volunteers as instructors and con- 
sultants. Principal activity of these uni- 
formed men would be to act as teachers 
to high school faculty members assigned 
by their principals to the new project. 

On January 21 of this year, a three- 
day course in firearms and their safe han- 
dling was opened at the University of 
New Hampshire for all 35 conservation 
officers of New Hampshire's Fish and 
Game Department and 12 state troopers.

It proved so successful that a similar 
course was held beginning March 22 
with Jim Dee as its head at the Univer- 
sity for school officials and 50 teachers 
from all parts of the state. This made it 
possible for more than half of the 92 
public high schools to begin classes for 
their students immediately following the 
training course. 

Instruction to the youngsters covers 
both small and large caliber rifles and 
all types of shotguns. Indoor sessions 
cover nomenclature of firearms parts, 
mechanism and operation of guns, am- 
munition, determination of unsafe fire- 
arms and the traditional ten command- 
ments of safe gun handling. 

Instruction in the handling of firearms 
safely is given both in the school gymna- 
sium and in nearby wooded areas. Boys 
and girls are shown how to cross over, 
through or under various types of fences 
and instructed in the proper method of 
hunting for ma.ximum safety while walk- 
ing abreast or in line. Written and dem- 
onstration tests must be passed by the 
youngsters before they are graduated 
from the safety classes. 

One of the most ardent supporters of 
the "New Hampshire Plan" is youthful 
Governor Hugh Gregg, a former Army 
officer and father of a 10-year-old boy. 
The chief executive was qualified as an 
instructor after he took part in the train- 
ing course for conservation oificers and 
state police early this year. 

Governor Gregg is opposed to restric- 
tive legislation as a step toward prevent- 
ing hunting accidents. He believes that 
accidents are caused by ignorance and 
carelessness and that education can elim- 
inate these causes. 

"The youngster or grownup who 
knows — really knows — guns and how to 
handle them safely at all times, loaded 
or unloaded," said the governor, "isn't 
going to hurt himself or someone else." 

In the short time that New Hamp- 
shire has made the safety program a part 
of its educational training, interest in it 
has developed throughout the country. 
Legislators, teachers, sportsmen's organ- 
izations, conservation authorities and 
parents by the thousands have flooded 
Jack George and John Dodge with 
queries on how they can set up a similar 
program in their states. 

Already Maine proposes to follow in 
the footsteps of its neighboring state very 
soon. Vermont and Massachusetts con- 
servationists and educators have sent rep- 
resentatives to Concord to study the 
New Hampshire Plan. Other states plan 
to send officials for conferences with 
George and Dodge.

One of the top e.xperts in the field of 
gun safety is General Meritt Edson, 
famous Marine hero and head of the 
National Rifle Association. He has made 
several trips to study the plan and con- 
siders it one of the finest ever developed 
as a move against restrictive laws. 

"Daniel Webster used to claim that 
the nation always could look to New 
Hampshire for progressive thinking" 
said the general recently. "As a result of 
my observation of the Firearms Safety 
Education Program, I'm inclined to 
think he wasn't exaggerating."

SAFER CARS 

We all know that the automobile has 
undergone some considerable changes in 
both appearance and power since it first 
appeared on the American scene but not 
too many of us are aware, points out the 
National Automobile Club, of the quite 
considerable changes that it has under- 
gone to make it a safer means of trans- 
portation. 

AVhen the transition from the carriage 
with a horse to the carriage without a 
horse was first being made, the coach- 
makers went to work with a will to turn 
out some very fancy bodies made entirely 
of wood or, a little later, of wood with 
sheet metal nailed over it. All this looked 
very fine, but if you happened to hit a 
tree or even an extra large bump in the 
road, you were apt to end up sitting in 
the middle of a jumbled heap of sheet 
metal and quite badly bruised and cut 
to boot. Today's all steel bodies will take 
a much greater beating with much great- 
er grace. 

Some important steps, too, have been 
taken to cut down on driver fatigue, that 
contributor to catastrophic accidents. In- 
sulation has all hut done away with the 
noise of the motor. The grouping, sim- 
plifying, or eliminating of controls has 
made driving an easier chore. Consider 
how the hand controlled spark has gone, 
and the hand controlled throttle has be- 
come foot controlled, how the gear shift 
has moved from the floor, to the steering 
wheel, and then to nowhere at all. The 
grouping and lighting of instruments on 
the dashboard has made it much easier 
for the driver to read them and get his 
eyes back on the road ahead. 

Safety refinements inside the body 
have come along apace: seats wider for 
more elbow room, doors hinged at the 
front to prevent the wind from taking 
them if they should begin to open, han- 
dles curved in or replaced by buttons to 
prevent snagging of clothing, locks made 
more inaccessible to children to prevent 
them from falling out, and no-draft ven- 
tilation to keep the driver free from 
drowsiness.

UNIFORM CRIME REPORTS 

Fhe 1953 annual Uniform Crime Re- 
ports bulletin reveals the continuing in- 
crease of crime in the United States. The 
previous record number of crimes set in 

1952 increased six per cent last year. 
The estimated number of major crimes 
totaled 2,159,080. 

Rural crimes increased by a considera- 
bly larger percentage, 9.6, than did city 
crimes, up 4.5 per cent. Urban crimes in 

1953 were 39 per cent above the pre- 
World AVar II average of 1937-39. 

Fhe 1953 annual Uniform Crime Re- 
ports bulletin, based upon data submitted 
to the FBI by law enforcement agencies 
throughout the United States, reflects 
the following trends: 

Fhere were an estimated 2,159,080 
major crimes in the United States dur- 
ing 1953, an increase of six per cent over 
the 1Q52 figure of 2,036,510. 

Robberies led the individual increases 
with an 8.5 per cent rise over 1952, and 
burglaries followed closely with an in- 
crease of 8.2 per cent. 

Larceny rose 5.4 per cent, aggravated 
assault 5.3 per cent, and auto theft 5.2 
per cent. Crimes of rape increased 3.8 
per cent ; negligent manslaughter was up 
0.7 per cent. Murders were 1.2 per cent 
lower than in 1952, the only decline 
noted in the 1953 statistics. 

In the urban areas of the country, 
crime was up 4.5 per cent over 1952, 
with increases ranging from 2.6 per cent 
for rape to 8.3 per cent for robbery. The 
only decrease noted was in the murder 
category, down 2.2 per cent. 

Rural crimes in 1953 jumped 9.6 per 
cent higher than the 1952 total. The in- 
creases ranged from 0.4 per cent for 
murders to 16.5 per cent for burglaries. 
Negligent manslaughters, down 5.5 per 
cent, showed the only rural decrease. 

Seasonal variations in crime during 
1953 generally followed the pattern es- 
tablished in previous years. Murder and 
aggravated assault started from their 
lowest points in the early part of 1953 
and reached their peaks in the summer 
months. Rape also was more prevalent 
(luring the summer. On the other hand, 
robberies, burglaries and auto thefts oc- 
curred less frequently in the summer 
than in the cold months. Larceny-theft 
tended to rise steadily from the begin- 
ning to the end of the year. 

Negligent manslaughter was the only 
crime against the person to reach its low- 
est peak in the summer. Chiefly com- 
prised of traffic fatalities wherein the

police investigation establishes gross neg- 
ligence, negligent manslaughter tends to 
rise sharply during the vviner when driv- 
ing conditions may be generally less fa- 
vorable. 

A tabulation of reports from 400 cities 
reflected that the value of property stolen 
in those cities last year totaled $224,- 
552,605. An average value of $1,038 
was placed upon 124,607 automobiles 
stolen in the 400 cities last year. Victims 
in these cities lost $222 in the average 
robbery, $163 in the average burglary, 
and $76 in thefts of property excluding 
automobiles. 

Data for 1953 concerning the age, sex 
and race of persons arrested is based 
upon reports which were submitted b\ 
law enforcement agencies representing 
1.174 American cities. This is the second 
successive year these figures have been 
published. One of the long-range goals of 
the Uniform Crime Reports program 
has been to obtain complete data con- 
cerning the age, sex and race of per- 
sons arrested directly from law enforce- 
ment agencies. This goal was partialh 
achieved in 1952 and 1953. 




Director J. Edgar Hoover 

Complete reports concerning persons 
arrested during 1953 were received by 
the FBI from 1,174 cities. These cities, 
representing 37,255,808 persons, or ap- 
proximately 42 per cent of the nation's 
urban population, submitted data con- 
cerning 1,791,160 arrests. 

The 1,174 cities reported that more 
than eight times as many males as fe- 
males were arrested during 1953. A 
study made of an average group of 1,000 
male arrests and 1,000 female arrests 
showed that in proportion a higher per- 
centage of the women than the men were

charged with murder, aggravated as- 
sault, larceny, and embezzlement and 
fraud. This study further showed that a 
higher percentage of the men were 
charged with burglary and auto theft. 
Of the 1,791,160 arrests recorded by 
the 1,174 reporting cities, 8.4 per cent 
were persons 17 years of age or less, and 
14.7 per cent were under 21. In the cate- 
gory of auto thefts, 53.6 per cent of all 
persons arrested were juveniles, and in 
fact 29 per cent were not even old 
enough to get a regular driver's license 
in most states. 

Nearly half of the persons arrested for 
burglary were not yet 18, and two-thirds 
of these were under 16 years of age. Per- 
sons under 21 represented 50.6 per cent 
of the arrests for crimes against property 
— robbery, burglary, larceny, auto theft, 
embezzlement and fraud, buying and re- 
ceiving stolen property, and forgery and 
counterfeiting. 



RIGHT-OF-WAY 

Many serious accidents are caused by 
drivers who may have the right of way 
but who insist on their rights in the face 
of almost certain disaster. This combina- 
tion of stubbornness and today's high- 
speed traffic has killed thousands, says 
the California State Automobile Asso- 
ciation. A driver who lets his actions re- 
sult in an accident, even when he has 
the right of way, may be held at fault 
by the court if he has the last clear 
chance to prevent it.

BIG YELLOW BUS 

"Just who is the driver of that big 
yellow bus?" 

Any mother who scrubs and starches 
and sends her bright-eyed youngster off 
to catch the school bus for the first time 
wants the answer to this question ; and 
others, too. 

"How does the driver happen to be 
there? 

"Does he know his job? 

"Does he keep his bus in good condi- 
tion ? 

"Is my child safe in his hands?" 

It's only natural, since mother cannot 
take her youngster to school herself, that 
she wants to know all about the person 
who does the job. 

The driver of the bus may be a man 
or a woman. Many women drive school 
buses in various areas of the State. He, 
or she, must be at least eighteen years of 
age and possess a valid California Opera- 
tor's or Chauffeur's license. In order to 
obtain this license the applicant must 
pass vision, written and driving tests. 

Not required, but helpful to the driver 
are a combination of many of the at- 
tributes of the diplomat, doctor, janitor, 
lawyer, mechanic, parent and policeman 
in addition to top-flight driving ability. 

If the candidate possesses at least a 
majority of these attributes and a driv- 
er's license he is eligible for considera- 
tion for his school bus driver's certificate. 

He must pass a complete physical ex- 
amination and a written test on school 
bus operation and general traffic move- 
ment. Next comes an exacting driving 
test in a school bus. This test is con- 
ducted by a specially trained ofificer of 
the California Highway Patrol. 

There is an investigation of the pros- 
pective driver's background to determine 
if he has ever committed a felony, or 
has violated vehicle code regulations per- 
taining to personal injury, drunk driv- 
ing, or reckless driving for three j'ears 
past. Convictions of these offenses or ad- 
diction to alcohol or narcotics or other 
habit-forming drugs result in immediate 
disqualification. Any act of moral turpi- 
tude or attempt to falsify an application 
likewise eliminates the candidate. 

If the driver is of high moral character 
he is then instructed to obtain a first aid 
certificate from the American Red Cross 
or the Bureau of Mines. He has sixty 
days to obtain the card. Then he must 
e.xecute a written agreement to abide by 
all provisions of law pertaining to safe 
transportation of pupils. 

It is now apparent that the driver 
wants the job. A less determined person 
might have become discouraged and quit 
long ago.

"What does he do on the job?" the 
still apprehensive mother might ask. 

Most important, always, the driver 
must drive carefully. He must always 
operate the bus in a safe manner, having 
due regard for the welfare of the pupils. 
He is responsible for the safety of chil- 
dren while they are loading and unload- 
ing, and shall escort them across the 
street when necessary for safety. 

School bus drivers are charged with 
the orderl)' conduct of pupils on the bus 
and continued disorderly conduct of any 
student shall be grounds for denying 
transportation. 

Each driver must submit weekly writ- 
ten reports to his employer concerning 
the condition of the bus. This, however, 
is no special effort as he must inspect the 
bus daily and is always aware of its con- 
dition. Daily checks include windshield 
and wipers, lights, horn, brakes and 
doors. Unless these items are all in good 
condition, the bus may not roll. 

In the event of any accident the driver 
must immediately report the occurrence 
to the California Highway Patrol and 
must also remove the bus from operation 
if damage or defect makes continued use 
of the bus unsafe for transporting pupils. 
Legal requirements state that no driv- 
er may work more than 15 hours in any 
24 hours, and not more than 10 of these 
hours may be spent in actual driving. Of 
course, he must keep his bus clean at all 
times and is responsible for cleaning the 
bus at the end of each day's use. 

There are other rules to protect the 
children. There must be adequate artifi- 
cial light. The driver may not leave the 
bus when the motor is running or when 
the brakes are released. He must stop the 
bus and open the doors before crossing 
railroad tracks; and must not shift gears 
when actually crossing the tracks. 

No animal may be taken onto a school 
bus, no smoking is permitted when chil- 
dren are on the bus, and intoxicants in 
any form are never allowed on a school 
bus. No bus may be loaded in a manner 
that will interfere with the vision of 
the operator. 

Motorists know they must stop, re- 
gardless of direction of approach, any 
time they see the flashing red lights of 
the school bus. They also must remain 
stopped until the lights cease to flash. It 
is the job of the bus dri\er to see that 
these red lights are working as and when 
the\' should be. 

Finally, the driver shall report to the 
California Highway Patrol the vehicle 
license number and, if possible, the name 
and address of any operator who is guilty 
of violating any provision of the Vehicle 
Code which in any way endangers the 
safety of the pupils being transported.

"How well is the job being done?" 
seems a logical question. 

Based on California Department of 
Education figures, 5073 school buses car- 
ried 325,925 school children a total of 
45,500,00 miles to and from school last 
year. All types of accidents involving 
school buses totaled 326. There were 70 
injuries and two pupil deaths. Not all 
of the injured were children ; some were 
drivers. The fatally injured children 
were crossing the street either to board, 
or after alighting from, the bus. 

The river of the big yellow bus, then, 
is carefully selected, thoroughly trained 
and competent, and proud to be a mem- 
ber of that exclusive group of drivers 
who have compiled one of the best traffic 
safety records that exists anywhere. 

When mother scrubs and straightens 
junior and puts him on the school bus, 
she can turn with vigor to her daily 
tasks. Her fledgling is in good hands. 

TRAFFIC TAGS 

If you get a traffic ticket, it's one-out- 
of-three it'll be for speeding. 

In a survey just completed by the Cal- 
ifornia Highway Patrol 33.7 percent of 
all traffic citations written by the Patrol 
were shown to be issued for driving too 
fast for existing conditions. 

"Need of this type of enforcement is 
emphasized by the fact that 34.8 percent 
of all accidents in unincorporated areas 
of the state were caused by excessive 
speed and reckless driving," Patrol Com- 
missioner B. R. Caldwell pointed out. 

"Because speed is by far the greatest 
cause of accidents, we are directing a 
proportionate share of enforcement at- 
tention to this dangerous driving prac- 
tice." 

"Also, in order that no motorist may 
be taken by surprise, we want everyone 
to know in advance that an important 
objective of the Patrol will be the appre- 
hension of speeders," he said. 

"During the early part of this year a 
few motorists were arrested for speeds 
in excess of one hundred miles per hour, 
though the great majority of those 
stopped were traveling from five to fif- 
teen miles per hour over the limit. 

"Since it is widely known that speed 
kills, motorists should have enough feel- 
ing of self-preservation to observe the 
legal limits. If they don't they'll face the 
alternative of firm enforcement action." 
Caldwell declared. 



HOLIDAY DRINKING 

Don't let Holiday drinking end in

ID BUREAU ADVANCES 

There have been many changes in the 
Sacramento Police Department's identifi- 
cation bureau and the one man who has 
been around to see most of them is Les 
Co.x, superintendent of the bureau since 
1037. 

Cox, who succeeded Captain Max P. 
Fisher, founder of the bureau, recalls 
ancient systems of filing and complicated 
setups for taking identification photo- 
graphs in use when he joined the bureau 
in February, 1922. 

"At least I had it better than Captain 
Fisher," Cox declares with a smale, "He 
used shoe boxes for filing cabinets, and 
an old, beat up box camera to take mug 
shots when he opened the bureau about 
1900." 

^\Tien Cox first became part of the 
bureau the staff consisted of Captain 
Fisher, his daughter, Alice Fisher, and 
Irene Richter. 

Today there are nine men and three 
women in the bureau. They include, in 
addition to Cox, John L. Crump, assist- 
ant superintendent, John D. Lane, Nor- 
man Readdy, James E. Smith, Herbert 
Hoover, Bryon W. Onser, Noel LaDue, 
Florence Vesey, LeAnn Manby and Lil- 
lian .Ava Andretta. 

In place of the old box camera are two 
of the latest type flash cameras, one of 
which takes both side and front \iews on 
the same negative and also can be used for 
full length photos. The bureau also has 
its own darkroom for processing photos. 

Another camera for making copies of 
fingerprints and signatures also is part of 
the equipment. 

To point up the growth of the depart- 
ment since he joined it. Cox estimates 
more than 400,000 indi\idual records are 
on file today as compared to 100,000 
then. 

The department averages about 1,100 
identifications annually. About 900 of 
this total are connected with criminal 
work while the remaining 200 in con- 
nection with license applications and the 
like. 

The pro\imit\- of the bureau to the 
state department of criiuinal investigation 
and identification which has headquarters 
in the Capitol eliminates the need for a 
ballistics expert or chemist. All such work 
for the department is handled by the CTI. 

The great value of the identification 
bureau is spotlighted by the fact 15 burg- 
laries, a grand theft and two petty theft 
cases were solved in 1953 by identifica- 
tions made through latent fingerprints 
found at the scene. Cox said this figure 
has been about the annual average in the 
last few years.

McDonnell raises sights 

Judge James M. McDonnell, who has 
been closely associated with the Sacra- 
mento Police Department for more than 
15 years as a prosecutor and judge, is 
trying for a new and better job. 

He is campaigning for the Superior 
Court bench in a three-way race against 
Superior Judge James H. Oakley and At- 
torney Otis D. Babcock, former Sacra- 
mento County District Attornev. 







Judge McDonnell 

Since June, 1940, McDonnell has 
served as a jurist in Sacramento. He was 
city prosecutor before his appointment as 
police judge. When the voters approved 
the municipal court in 1943 he was se- 
lected to the bench and won a six-year 
term. He was unopposed for reelection in 
1949. 

In his capacity as judge of Department 
1 of the Municipal Court he handles all 
misdemeanor cases presented by the po- 
lice department and many of the felony 
preliminary hearings. 

Many honors have come to Judge Mc- 
Donnell since he ascended the bench. In 
1948 his court tied for first place with 
Tulsa, Okla., in cities throughout the na- 
tion with populations of from 100,000 to 
200,000 in a traffic court contest. Sacra- 
mento and Tulsa were selected from 
more than 200 cities for improvements in 
traffic court procedures and for effective- 
ness in aiding the cause of highway safet\'. 

The State Judicial Council has selected 
him on several occasions to sit on the Su- 
perior Court bench in nearby counties. 

In 1952 Judge McDonnell was se- 
lected as one of 26 judges who served on 
a state judicial council committee which 
studied ways and means of impro\'ing the 
administration of justice in traffic cases.

He also has served as a member of the 
subcommittee on pretrial court procedure 
of the State Judicial Council. 

And only last month he was a member 
of a panel which discussed traffic court 
procedure at the University of Southern 
California under the sponsorship of the 
university's school of law, the American 
Bar Association and the Traffic Institute 
of Northwestern University. 

Judge McDonnell's friends in the law 
enforcement field are wishing him luck 
in his campaign, and many are working 
for him. One of his chief supporters is 
Mervin H. Reith, former Sacramento 
City Prosecutor. 

Whether he wins or loses, he still will 
be on the bench. His municipal court 
term does not run out this year. 



RIGHT READING 

It is not uncommon for the motor car 
owner to make the error of taking a hy- 
drometer reading of the battery just after 
the electrolytic solution has been replen- 
ished with water, points out the National 
Automobile Club. At such time the acid 
and water have not mixed and the gra\- 
ity reading is bound to be incorrect. The 
proper time to take note of the charge is 
after the car has been run for several 
iiours and the solution has had time to 
integrate. 



SLOW DOWN 

Slow down after the sun goes down, 
advises the National Automobile Club.

JUVENILE CONVENTION 

Juvenile law enforcement interest 
throughout the state centered on Sacra- 
mento early this year when the fifth an- 
nual California State Juvenile Officers 
Association convention was held there. 

For Captain Frank H. Gessner, head 
of the Sacramento Police Department 
Juvenile Division, this was an especially 
momentous occasion, inasmuch as he was 
one of the organizers of the state associa- 
tion. 

And, thanks in great part to the efforts 
of Captain Gessner, who with Police 
Chief James V. Hicks and Juvenile Offi- 
cer Francis E. Gregory, was a cochair- 
man, the convention has been hailed as a 
prototype at which future conventions 
may well aim. 

Held March 24th, 25th and 26th, the 
confab featured such outstanding speak- 
ers as Richard A. McGee, director of the 
state department of corrections ; Heman 
G. Stark, director of the California 
Youth Authority, and Attorney General 
Edmund G. (Pat) Brown. McGee ap- 
peared in place of Governor Goodwin J. 
Knight who was unable to attend due to 
the press of state business. 

Particularly valuable to the 117 dele- 
gates were the panel discussions which 
covered such topics as "Rights and Re- 
sponsibilities for Juveniles," "Liquor En- 
forcement at Juvenile Levels," "Female 
Juveniles as a Police Problem," and 
"Juvenile Gangs — Their Cause and Con- 
trol." 

The Northern California Juvenile 
Officers Association was host to the Cen- 
tral Valley and Southern California 
Juvenile Officers Associations. Before 
scattering to their respective cities, the 
delegates chose Santa Monica as ne.\t 
year's convention site and elected new 
officers. The new officers include Komer 
Dyal of the San Bernardino Police De- 
partment, president ; John Huddelston of 
the Concord Police Department, secre- 
tary-treasurer, and A. J. Lauder of the 
Fresno Police Department, sergeant at 
arms. The board of directors consists of 
Harold Stockridge of Los Angeles, Jack 
Ford of Merced, Peter Bolhick of San 
Mateo, Katherine Williams of Taft, 
Leon Green of San Jose, and Dick 
Frazier of Glendale. 

Gessner was instrumental in the for- 
mation of the state association which had 
its birth at a meeting in Asiloinar in 
1948. For this reason he was particularly 
pleased to see Sacramento have an oppor- 
tunity to be the host city. 

Prior to the 1948 meeting the North- 
ern and Southern and Central Valley as- 
sociations were separate organizations.

Gessner was one of six men who met to 
lay the groundwork of the state organiza- 
tion. Today the association numbers some 
600 members throughout the state. 

Practically all of Gessner's law en- 
forcement career has been spent in juve- 
nile work. 'I'he first si.\ months after his 
appointment to the police department 
were spent in the detective bureau. He 
then was placed in the juvenile bureau 
as a night man and to supervise ta.xi dance 
girls who at that time were required to 
register with the juvenile bureau. 

In 1937 Gessner was picked as the man 
to inaugurate the city s new bicycle iicens- 
ing program. He got the system rolling 
and remained with it for a year before 
being transferred to the major crime and 
pawnshop details m the detective bureaus. 
Gessner was named head of the juvenile 
division in 1947. 

A native Sacramentan, Gessner has 
been active in community altairs for many 
years. His fraternal activities include a 
past presidency of the Sunset Parlor, Na- 
tive Sons of the Golden West and mem- 
bership in the xMasons. He also is a 32nd 
degree Scottish Rites Mason and a past 
president of the Northern California 
Juvenile Officers Association. 

Sports followers remember Gessner as 
a member of two state champion basket- 
ball teams in the 1920's. In 1922 he 
travelled to Kansas City, Kans., with an 
American Legion champion team to com- 
pete in regional finals. 



SENSIBLE DRIVING 

Use all your senses when you're driv- 
ing. See what's ahead. Listen for warn- 
ing signals. Feel trouble, like faulty 
steering or bad brakes. Smell trouble 
brewing, like raw gas or dangerous 
fumes. Then develop your sixth sense — 
good judgment — and give full time and 
attention to your driving, says the Cali- 
fornia State Automobile Association. In 
this way, you'll avoid senseless accidents. 



FLAWS AND QUIRKS 

A motor vehicle enlarges the driver's 
personality, says the California State 
Automobile Association. That is the rea- 
son little flaws and quirks of a person's 
character become more manifest when 
they are magnified into the behavior of a 
few tons of steel moving in an unsafe or 
irregular manner at "x" miles per hour. 
Practice sportsmenlike driving and it 
will improve your character, your repu- 
tation and the public safety. In short, 
everybody gains.

STILL ON TRAIL 

Killers sometimes think when they get 
away with their crimes for a time the 
heat dies down and they are safe. 

But if the murderer of Francis M. 
(Jack) Rea, North Sacramento police 
officer thinks he is safe because more than 
four months have gone by since the kill- 
ing and he still hasn't been caught, he 
should think again. 

Police Chief William Wilson, Assist- 
ant Chief Percy Gassaway, and the other 
members of the department still are ex- 
amining every lead, no matter how re- 
mote, determined to track down the killer 
if it takes the rest of their lives. 

Gassaway, who was working with Rea 
the night of January 2nd when the slay- 
ing took place, was placed in personal 
charge of the investigation and still is 
working at it. Hundreds, in fact thous- 
ands, of clues have been sifted and more 
than a dozen possible suspects have been 
arrested and released. 

So far, unfortunately, the right clue 
has not been turned up. The killer was 
burglarizing a warehouse in North Sac- 
ramento when Rea and Gassaway sur- 
prised him. In a running gun battle 
which followed, a fatal bullet hit Rea. 
The sla3'er escaped, but even if he still is 
running, the North Sacramento police 
are determined to get him some day. 

The people of North Sacramento, in a 
spontaneous demonstration of their liking 
for Rea, who was familiarly known as 
Jack the Cop, raised nearly $4,000 and 
gave it to Mrs. Rea to apply to the mort- 
gage on the family home.

FRITZ NOW FOREMAN 

Fritz Kaminsky, who retired as chief 
of the Sacramento Police Department 
last November, has taken up new duties 
as foreman of the Federal Grand Jury 
for Sacramento County. 

Federal Judge Dal M. Lemmon ap- 
pointed Kaminsky to the position last 
month. 

The ex'chief, who served just short of 
29 years on the Sacramento Police De- 
partment, has been taking things easy 
since his retirement. As he explained at 
the time : 

"I'm going to take a little vacation and 
do a lot of fishing." 

Kaminsky began his career in the de- 
partment November 16, 1923, as secre- 
tary to the chief. He served under seven 
chiefs and climbed through the ranks, 
serving as a patrolman, superintendent of 
the traffic department, captain, head of 
the juvenile bureau, chief of detectives 
and assistant chief. He served as chief 
from March 16, 1951, until his retire- 
ment.

TWO MILLION TOLL 

The worst automobile accident toll in 
the nation's history — more than two mil- 
lion ^^asualties — was recorded in 1953, 
according to figures released by The 
Travelers Insurance Companies. 

Traffic deaths totaled 38,500, an in- 
crease of 900 over 1952. The injury 
count reached 2,140,000 compared to 2,- 
090,000 for the previous year. 

The totals are statistics from "The 
Passing Scene," twentieth in an annual 
series of traffic accident data booklets 
published by the The Travelers. Accident 
facts from every state in the country are 
collected and analyzed for the publica- 
tion by Travelers statisticians. 

Excessive speed was the most danger- 
our driving mistake in 1953. Speed killed 
13,870 persons and injured more than 
600,000. Drivers under 25 years of age 
were involved in almost 25 per cent of 
the year's fatal accidents although they 
constitute only about 15 per cent of the 
total of all drivers. 

Week end crashes accounted for 15,- 
800 killed and 800,000 hurt during 1953. 
Forty-one per cent of the deaths and 36 
per cent of the injuries occurred on Sat- 
urdays and Sundays last year. 

The pedestrian record reflected the 
third consecutive year of improvement. 
Booklet figures show pedestrian casualties 
reduced by 50 to 8,600. Crossing between 
intersections, "jay walking," still is the 
chief cause of pedestrian deaths and in- 
juries. 

"The Passing Scene" also reports that 
three out of four 1953 auto accidents 
happened to passenger cars driving in 
clear weather on dry roads. 

Eighty per cent of vehicles involved in 
fatal accidents were traveling straight 
ahead. 

Saturday was the most dangerous day 
of the week to drive. 

1953 was the fourth consecutive year 
of increase in the death toll. 



DRIVER ANALYSIS 

Do you think of yourself as a person, 
but of the other driver as just a motor 
vehicle — an inanimate moving force? 
Even on the occasions when the other 
"car" shows "you" a courtesy, do you 
frequently fail to let the "other driver" 
know that "your car" appreciates the 
courtesy? The California State Automo- 
bile Association advises that, for safety's 
sake, you should firmly fix in your mind 
that all other automobiles, like yours, 
represent the human beings inside them 
and are not just inanimate moving 
forces.

CAUTION SIGN 

A child near the street is a caution 
sign. 

California Highway Patrol Commis- 
sioner B. R. Caldwell said that any child 
playing near a street or highway should 
be an automatic warning signal to motor- 
ists to slow down and proceed with cau- 
tion. 

"The greatest single killer of children 
under 15 years of age in our country to- 
day is the traffic accident," Caldwell de- 
clared. 

Pointing out that children are usually 
willing to follow the example of others, 
Caldwell said that a youngster who ex- 
hibits a disregard of traffic regulations of- 
ten mirrors the training or lack of train- 
ing, that he has received in the home. 
Careless habits in walking, wild play in 
moving cars or leaning out car windows 
always reflect a lack of proper safety 
training in children. 

"It is the responsibility of every parent 
to educate children to the dangers that 
are always present in traffic," Caldwell 
said. "It is equally important that these 
same parents practice safe driving and 
walking behavior that will save the lives 
of unwary youngsters. Failure of too 
many motorists to stop for flashing red 
lights on school buses and disregard of 
speed limits all take a tragic annual toll 
in young lives." 

CHECK YOUR CAR 

Check your car, check accidents; and 
do it now for tomorrow may be too late. 

In offering this suggestion to Califor- 
nia motorists, Commissioner B. R. Cald- 
well of the California Highway Patrol 
reminded that May is the month for spe- 
cial emphasis on vehicle maintenance 
throughout the nation. 

"Previous voluntary Safety Checks 
have uncovered at least one faulty con- 
dition in order to lawfully operate on 
the streets and highways of the state," 
Caldwell pointed out. 

He advised every motor vehicle owner 
and operator to give himself the follow- 
ing test: 

"Can I see, steer and stop safely?" 

"Such a test," Caldwell explained, 
"will cause drivers to check mirrors, 
window glass, windshield wipers, lights, 
steering mechanisms, wheels, brakes and 
tires. If these items, together with the 
horn and exhaust system, are in safe con- 
dition the vehicle should be ready for 
road use. 

"It is inexcusable negligence to oper- 
ate an unsafe vehicle," he admonished.

PERMANENT REST 

Practically all of us look forward to 
the week-end as a time for rest and pleas- 
ure. We can catch up on our golf game, 
work around the house and have some 
fun with the children. It's the time for 
going to church, watching television, lis- 
tening to the ball game or visiting or 
being visited by friends. 

The week-ends are all of those things 
— e.xcept on the highways. In 1953, 15,- 
800 persons were killed and 800,000 
were injured in week-end accidents, ac- 
cording to figures compiled and recently 
released by The Travelers Insurance 
Companies. Forty-one per cent of the 
deaths and 36 per cent of the injuries 
were recorded on Saturdays and Sundays 
in 1953. 

Saturday continued to be the most 
dangerous day of the week. One reason 
is that more cars are in vise Saturday 
than on any weekday. There is another 
distinguishing feature which sets this day 
apart from the others. For too many peo- 
ple, Saturday night is a time when drink- 
ing and driving combine. No one knows 
exactly how many traffic accidents are 
caused by drinking drivers but everyone 
knows it is a major problem. Everyone 
needs to know that even one drink be- 
fore driving is too many. 

Week-ends indeed are a time of rest. 
For too many they are the beginnings of 
permanent rest. 



YOU CAN HELP 

Will you help save 38,500 lives in 
1954 and help stop needless injury to 2,- 
140,000 persons? 

If the above strikes you as an unusual 
challenge you need to read a booklet we 
just received from The Travelers Insur- 
ance Companies. Entitled, "The Passing 
Scene," it is their annual publication of 
traffic accident data in which statisticians 
have analvzed the traffic safety picture in 
1953. 

\'ou would learn that 38,500 people 
were killed and 2,140,000 were injured 
b\' motor vehicle accidents last year. Leaf- 
ing through the booklet you would find 
out why 1953 made tragic history as the 
most disastrous year for traffic accidents 
ever experienced. 

The report makes it clear that most 
of last year's accidents need not have 
happened. Most of them were caused b\' 
drivers and pedestrians who could have 
prevented the circumstances which led 
them to disaster. 

The conclusion is clear and the chal- 
lenge is unavoidable, (^nly those who do 
the driving and walking can keep the 
traffic prnbleni under control.

THE FACT SHEET 

The Problem : Speed 

The biggest traffic problem this month 
is unsafe speed. The solution to this prob- 
lem lies in convincing drivers that the 
only safe speed is a speed determined b> 
pre\ailing conditions . . . and that the 
onl\- intelligent speed is a safe speed. 

For safety's sake, a good driver doesn't 
travel at the same rate of speed when 
driving in snow, rain or darkness as he 
does when driving on a bright, sunny 
day. Similarly, when he's not feeling up 
to par or when he knows his car is not in 
top condition, he drives slower than he 
does when both he and his car are in the 
pink. He also slows down on rough or 
narrow roads. 

Letting conditions determine the speed 
at which a vehicle is driven is not only 
common sense, it's the law. In every state 
a driver is liable to arrest if he is driving 
at a speed that is not sate under prevail- 
ing conditions ( even though he may be 
tra\eling at a speed well under the posted 
limit). 

Another argument for driving at a 
speed safe for conditions is that such dri\- 
ing is economical. The driver who travels 
at a sensible rate of speed uses less gas and 
oil than the fellow who burns vip the 
road, and his tires dn not wear out as 
fast. 

Speed and the Law 

All states have enacted legislation to 
cope with the problem of speed. Although 
speed regulations \ary with locality, the 
traffic laws of all states include the basic 
rule that motorists must drive at speeds 
that are reasonable and safe under pre- 
vailing conditions. 

Disregard of such laws is a leading 
factor in traffic accidents. 

Ivventy-eight per cent of the dri\ers in 
fatal accidents in 1952 were violating a 
speed law. Seventeen per cent were ex- 
ceeding stated speed limits, and eleven per 
cent were exceeding safe speeds although 
traveling at less than the speed limit or 
were on a road where no stated limit ex- 
isted. 

Because many fatal accidents involve 
two vehicles, the number of accidents is 
fewer than the total number of drivers in- 
volved. Speed violations were a factor in 
.1,^ /)(T cent of fata! aeeidents. 
Regulattox Governixt, Mammlm 
Speed 

In traveling about the coiuitr\-, a dri\cr 
will encounter three types of speed regu- 
lations governing maximum speed. 

1. Posted Speed Limits — Signs are 
erected at frequent intervals stating the 
speed limit. The limit may be a general 
one for the area, or a special limit for a

short zone. The driver must remember 
that these limits have been determined on 
the basis of what is considered safe speed 
for normal conditions. They do not neces- 
sarily apply when weather, road or other 
conditions are not normal. Some states 
have established one speed limit for day- 
time driving and a different speed limit 
for night driving in the same area. (See 
"Uniform Speed Regulations" below.) 

2. Established Speed Limit — Not 
Posted — In some jurisdictions, little or 
no effort is made to erect frequent signs 
advising the driver of the speed limit. A 
limit exists, however, in the laws of the 
state or community and is just as much in 
effect as if posted. The driver has the re- 
sponsibility of learning and obeying the 
limit. He must remember also that the 
limit represents the maximum under fav- 
orable conditions. 

3. No Established or Posted Speed 
Limit — In some areas there are no estab- 
lished or posted speed limits. The law 
merely states that you must drive at 
speeds that are reasonable and safe under 
prevailing conditions. All states inelude 
this basie rule in their traffic laics, even 
though a stated limit is also set forth in 
the law. (See "Uniform Speed Regula- 
tions" below.) 

Uniform Vehicle Code 
A constant effort is being made to 
bring about uniformity in traffic laws. 
Manv states have revised their traffic leg- 
islation to conform with the Uniform Ve- 
hicle Code, and conformitv with this code 
is recommended bv ba\' area Chanters of 
the National Safety Council to improve 
traffic legislation. 

Act V, Article VI, Uniform Vehicle 
Code, Speed Restrictions, provides: 

"Section 56. Special restrictions — 
(a) No person shall drive a vehicle on a 
highway at a sneed greater than is reason- 
able and prudent under the conditions

be necessarv to avoid colliding with an\' 
person, vehicle, or other conveyance on or

legal requirements and the duty of all

Speed axd Safety 

Since many factors enter into the mak- 
ing of every accident, it is impossible to 
give accurate statistics on the relationship 
between speed and traffic accidents. How- 
ever, there are two facts that are signifi- 
cant in any consideration of this question. 

1. The first is that a speeding car 
travels a greater distance between the 
time the brakes are apph'ed and the time 
the car stops than a slow-moving vehicle 
travels in the same time. Obvioush, a 
driver's chances of not hittine an obiect 
that suddenlv looms in his path increases 
as his speed decreases. 

The following table shows minimum 
braking distances for the best theoretical

2. The second significant fact is that, 
according to the laws of physics, energy 
is proportional to the square of the speed. 
In other words, if you double your speed, 
you'll hit four times as hard. This can be 
an important factor in the severity of an 
accident. The following examples illus- 
trate this point: 

A car striking a fixed obstacle at 20 
miles per hour will suffer the same dam- 
age it would if it dropped from a height 
of 13 feet onto a concrete highway. 

At 40 miles per hour the damage 
would be the same as if the car were 
dropped from a 4-story building. 

At 50 miles per hour the same is if the 
car were dropped from a 7-story building. 

At 60 miles per hour the same as if the 
car were dropped from a 10-story build- 
ing. 

Speed and Economy 

In addition to the legal and safety as- 
pects of speed there is a third aspect that 
concerns all drivers. This is the relative 
expense of speed. 

Recent tests, conducted by the Na- 
tional Safety Council and other agencies, 
comparing a top cruising speed of 65 
miles per hour with one of 40 miles per 
hour, showed the higher speed to be much 
more costly. 

Gas consumption per mile increased 30 
per cent at the higher speed and the num- 
ber of brake applications and braking 
time increased 50 per cent. Tire wear was 
two and a half times as great. When 
speed was stepped up, oil consumption per 
mile increased even more than gas con- 
sumption. 

Tests over city routes comparing top 
speeds of 25 and 35 miles per hour 
showed that 20 per cent more gas was 
consumed at the 35 mile per hour speed 
than at the 25 mile per hour speed.

FARM SAFETY WEEK 

"There are signs that farm people are 
becoming more aware of the need to work 
and live safely," said Secretary of Agri- 
culture Ezra Taft Benson, in calling for 
support of the 1 1th National Farm Safety 
Week, July 25-31. "Participation in last 
year's National Safety Week convinced 
me of that. That is why I urge all farm 
residents to join in, or start, a local ver- 
sion of the national Farm To Live — Live 
To Farm campaign. Safety, like charity, 
begins at home." 

Other farm leaders join in asking for 
support of the 1 1th National Farm Safety 
Week. Statements follow : 

Senator George Aiken, chairman of the 
Senate Agricultural Committee: "Home 
Safety Day of the 11th National Farm 
Safety Week appeals to me as the time for 
thinking about the fact that one out of 
every four farm persons killed in acci- 
dents are killed in the home. I would like 
to see every farm child receive an all- 
around safety lesson during the Week. 
Don't let tragedy hit your child for lack 
of knowledge of the right way to live to 
farm." 

Representative Clifford Hope, chair- 
man of the House Committee on Agricul- 
ture: "It is interesting to me to note that 
6,000 of the 14,000 farm residents killed 
in accidents last year were killed in motor 
vehicle accidents. This points up the ne- 
cessity for observing the third of the Na- 
tional Safetv Council's Ten Command- 
ments for Safe Living: KNOW AND 
OBEY TRAFFIC LAWS. I believe 
that National Farm Safety AVeek is 
worthwhile for teaching that lesson 
alone." 

Allan B. Kline, president, American 
Farm Bureau Federation: "Obser\'ation 
of National Farm Safety Week serves to 
emphasize that farm people still suffer a 
high proportion of unnecessary losses 
from fires and accidents. Safety is an in- 
dividual responsibility. Each of us must 
make a contribution to reduction of fire 
and accident hazards in order to make 
American farms safer, more efficient and 
happier places to live." 

Herschel D. Newsom, master, Nation- 
al Grange: "Accidents kill about 38 farm 
residents each day according to the latest 
figures. Think of that many funerals each 
day during 1954! Doesn't such a toll em- 
phasize the need for ever\'one who li\es 
on a farm to take a personal interest in 
making every farm safety campaign a suc- 
cess ? Farm folk who farm to live must 
truly live to farm. 

James G. Patton, president, National 
Farmers Union : "I am sure each of the 
National Safetv Council's Ten Com- 
mandments for Safe Living on the Farm 
can save lives, but in this modern age, I'd

place special emphasis on the First Com- 
mandment: 'Keep Machines in Good Re- 
pair, and Keep All Guards and Safet\ 
Devices in Place.' If every farm man did 
this, I'm sure the toll of 14,000 dead each 
year would be greatly reduced." 

LIVE TO FARM 

In proclaiming the 11th National 
Farm Safety Week for July 25-31, 1954, 
President Eisenhower suggested the 
theme he first made popular in 1953 — 
"Farm To Live — Live to Farm" 

The United States Department of 
Agriculture and the National Safety 
Council, as co-sponsors of the Week, wel- 
come the theme from the 10th obser\ance 
because of its success in encouraging farm 
residents to practice safety in the home, at 
work, in traffic and elsewhere to a greater 
degree than any other theme. 

"Now that the National Safety Coun- 
cil is operating under a charter granted 
by the Congress of the United States, the 
Council should be able to work more ef- 
fectively than ever with all organizations 
interested in reducing accidents on the 
farms in America," said Ned H. Dear- 
born, president of the National Safety 
Council. 

"The 11th National Farm Safety 
Week will be a good test of this in- 
creased efficiency," Mr. Dearborn said. 
"Indications are that 31 states will 
have active Farm Safety Week commit- 
tees this vear, as compared with 28 in 
1953," said Maynard H. Coe, director of 
the Farm Division of the National Safety 
Council. "Moreover, 16 of the cooperat- 
ing states will have State Farm Safety 
Specialists, as compared with 12 last 
vear." 

"I urgently request all farm residents 
to make e\-ery effort to develop safe work 
habits and skills, so that they may 'Farm 
to live — and live to farm'," said the 
Presidential Proclamation. "I also re- 
quest all persons and organizations inter- 
ested in farm life and welfare to join in 
the campaign to free as many homes as 
possible from the tragedies and losses 
caused by needless accidents." 

TRAFFIC DEATHS DROP 

(Continued from page 9) 
Two hours after the hunt got under- 
way the dead rabbits were collected by 
jeep and truck. Many of them were given 
away to persons who gathered at the air- 
port when they learned the hunt was in 
progress. 

In addition to reducing the jack popu- 
lation at the airport, the shoot served an- 
other purpose. Hicks and his men got 
some quick fire practice with their not 
guns.

SAFETY BUS 

Watch tor the California High\va>' 
Patrol satet\' bus in your locah'ty. 

Latest addition to the Patrol's safety 
education program is a recently acquired 
mobile safety education unit which is now 
niaiving its way around the state. 

The unit is housed in a converted com- 
muter-type bus made available to the 
Patrol as a public service by the Pacific 
Greyhound Lines and will be operated 
by Patrol personnel. 

This bus contains nimierous testing de- 
\ices designed to measure the driving 
skills of motorists. 

"These devices are purely educational 
and for the information of the individual. 
No performance records of an\' kind are 
kept bv the Highway Patrol," empha- 
sized Patrol Commissioner B. R. Cal- 
dwell. 

Other features of the safety education 
bus include accident photos, safe driving 
tips, and traffic law information. 

While the bus has only recently been 
placed in action, it has already been 
booked solid through October. 



PEDESTRIAN HAZARD 

More than 60 per cent of the persons 
killed in San Francisco traffic during the 
past decade have been killed while walk- 
ing across a street, Iver C. Larson, execu- 
tive vice president of the San Francisco 
Chapter, National Safety Council, said 
recently. 

"So far this year 18 persons have been 
struck and fatally injured on tlie streets 
of this city. This compared with 13 who 
have died in cars as the resull of crashes, 
Larson noted. 

''Constant care is necessary when cross- 
ing any street. A momentary lapse can 
cause an accident in a hurry. If pedes- 
trians would LOOK for approaching 
cars; THINK for their own safety; and 
CROSS only at lawful places in a sens- 
ible manner, the traffic congestion and 
snarls in the downtown area and the ac- 
cidents in the residential areas would be 
effectiveh- reduced," the Safety Council 
official said. 

Larson warned pedestrian violators 
that the\- face a $2.00 fine if thev are ap- 
prehended in the downtown area. 

"People living i'l the residential ,a ■■ea> 
— where most of the fatalities occur — 
should cooperate with th'- police depart- 
ment for their own safety and to set a 
good example for children. Javwalking 
and crossing against signal lights are 
senseless violations — always the top kill- 
ers in traffic," he stated.

BLASTING CAPS 

Blasting caps sometimes are lost or 
stolen and boys and girls find them. 
While playing with these caps, explosions 
frequently occur, and as a result hundreds 
have been hurt. Some lose fingers and 
hands, some are blinded for life. Blasting 
caps are small copper or aluminum cylin- 
ders about as big around as a lead pencil 
and between llA inches and 5 inches 
long. They contain a highly sensitive ex- 
plosive and are used to explode dynamite, 
to mine coal and metals, quarry stone, 
and build bridges, roads, and skyscrapers. 

There are two kinds of caps. The 
"ordinary cap" is exploded by sparks from 
a burning fuse inserted in one end of the 
cap. The other kind of cap is an electric 
blasting cap. It has two wires coming out 
of one end. These two wires are con- 
nected by a very thin wire that is sunk in 
the explosive charge in the cap. ^Vhen 
electric current is applied, the thin wire 
becomes red hot and detonates the cap. 

The explosives in blasting caps are very 
sensiti\e, so that they will be sure to det- 
onate the dynamite charge. An experi- 
enced person knows how to handle them 
safely. In the hands of an inexperienced 
person they are extremely dangerous. 

Comparatively few persons know what 
a blasting cap looks like; children partic- 
ularly are likely to play with them. 

When a cap explodes, hundreds of 
small pieces of metal fly out in all direc- 
tions — sometimes as much as 200 feet — 
and even at that distance could cause 
blindness. 

Bovs and girls should know what a 
blasting cap looks like, and what great 
damapre it can do. If found it should be 
left alone. Other bovs and girls should be 
warned and a reoort made to a fireman, 
policeman, sheriff, or other law enforce- 
ment officer. He will dispose of it prop- 
erlv. 

Unless officers are thoroughlv experi- 
enced in the wav to handle such explo- 
sives withovit endangering themselves or 
others: 

1. Get in touch with the county agri- 
cultural asrent. 

2. Call the area headquarters of any 
maior quarrying, mining, or construction 
proiect. 

3. Contact a representati\e of the 
U. R. Bureau of Mines, or 

4. Gef ill touch with a representative 
of an explosives manufacturer.

iniurles was the heaviest in history.

A Candle, A Spoon ... A Gun 



He was a medium sized man, about 
five feet nine inches tall and a hundred 
and fifty pounds. His eyes were dark 
with closely contracted pupils, and his 
hands shook a little every time he raised 
the damp end of his cigarette to his 
mouth and all his movements were tight, 
nervous gestures. He had trouble, plenty 
of trouble, and he knew it so he talked 
freely. 

A long time ago he had learned that 
if you told the police what they wanted 
to know in a spot like this your trouble 
might not be so bad. Maybe they would 
let him alone. 

He was on the stuff and they knew he 
was on it, but he did not have any with 
him and they had not found any, so he 
was in the clear for a while at least. But 
he was hooked and hooked good, and 
when a man is like that he has to have 
his daily ration of snow. If he didn't 
talk and they hounded him, sooner or 
later the\' would find the stuiif and take 
it away from him and he could not 
imagine anything worse. A man who is 
hooked like that suffers when they take 
his heroin supply away. He suffers more 
than anyone can imagine. The drug 
wears off and a million tiny nerve end- 
ings come to life and catch fire and 
nothing will help the excruciating agony 
which follows except more heroin. 

So the dark, nervous man talked. He 
told Inspectors Max Girard and Dennis 
Bradley of the San Francisco Police De- 
partment Robbery Detail everything he 
could, which was not much but seemed 
to be enough. They were not interested 
in narcotics. Robbery was their specialty 
and while they had another job in mind 
when they contacted the dark man he 
had touched on a more important matter. 
He knew a little about a series of Safe- 



By Walter R. Hecox 

way Store holdups which had baffled and 
irritated San Francisco Bay Area police 
for some time. 

He knew the name of a man, Harold 
Miller, and his blond girl friend, who 
bore the name, if not the habits of a 
Greek goddess. There was the fact that 
the girl was driving a bright red Stude- 
baker with a black top which was so 
new that the permanent license plates 
had not arrived yet. He did not know 
Miller's address or the girl's either for 
that matter, but he did know the vicinity 
she lived in. Just the general area within 
a block or so. It was just a crumb of 
information, but enough. 

\Vhen they were satisfied that they had 
dragged all the available information 
from the dark man Girard and Bradley 
withdrew for a brief conference. They 
talked for a short time, then turned to 
the informer. 

"^Ve'd like \ou to stay close to home. 
There are other officers who know more 
about these cases than we do. We want 
them to talk to you." 

The dark man let a sigh of relief 
escape from the tense lips a;id nodded. 
"Anything you want. Anything at all." 

Within the hour Girard and Bradley 
were back in their headquarters on the 
fourth floor of the massive, brownstone 
Hall of Justice discussing their informa- 
tion with Lieutenant Martin Lee, head 
of the Robbery Detail, and two Inspec- 
tors, Jules Zimmerlin and George Heeg. 

"This Miller could be a hot suspect," 
Girard concluded. "He fits the descrip- 
tion of the holdup man prettv well and 
he owns a blue 1949 Buick and a 1938 
Ford." 

Zimmerlin nodded. "We've been look- 
ing for him. He just finished doing a 
\ear in the county jail for second degree 



robbery last summer. He's a hophead 
and he must be getting money for the 
stuff. The descriptions of him and his 
Buick fit the pattern, even if he did use 
a handkerchief over his face. But two 
weeks ago he just disappeared. We 
haven't been able to get a line on him." 

"Maybe his pal will help," Lee sug- 
gested. "Let's make a date with him." 

It was 7:30 p.m. on October 7, 1953 
when Inspectors Girard, Heeg, Zimmer- 
lin, and Bradley met the dark eyed in- 
former and accompanied him to the 
Crocker-Amazon district. 

"She lives around here somewhere," 
he told the officers. "I don't know ex- 
actly where, but we ought to see the car 
if she's home." 

The ultra streamlined, bright red 
Studebaker was easy to spot and the tem- 
porary paper license plates pasted to the 
rear window of the car revealed the 
girl's address. Bradley and Girard took 
the informer home, while Heeg and 
Zimmerlin proceeded to Ingleside Police 
Station where a quick check revealed the 
girl had been arrested recently on a nar- 
cotics charge and was free on bail while 
awaiting trial. 

"She should be easy to reason with," 
Heeg remarked. "She's in enough of a 
jam to make her want to cooperate." 

Zimmerlin nodded. "These hopheads 
are never too tough." 

Ten minutes later the two inspectors 
were talking to a willowy blond, a name- 
sake of the ancient goddess of the dawn, 
whose youthful beauty had become hard 
and cold beneath the carefully applied 
layer of pancake makeup. 

"Sure I know Harold Miller," she ad- 
mitted. "He's a nice guy."

PISTOL POINTING 



Perhaps the first thing I do this time is 
to explain just why the Aiarch matches 
were called off at San Francisco. Many 
people have asked me in the past few 
weeks so I think all should know. It's 
very simple. The back-stop on the 50 
yard line has been taking such a beating 
in the last 9 or 10 years it has kinda 
worn down in spots and the lead catcher 
has not been able to get all the bullets 
with the result that some of the lead was 
flying back to the shooters and giving the 
boys a bit of hot lead during the matches. 
All has been fixed now and as you know 
the matches were held in April as 
scheduled. 

So now to the matches in Oakland on 
May 2, '54. (Sunday) And another 
record day can be chalked up for the 
Oakland Club as it was the first day of 
trout season and in spite of the crazy 
fishermen there were 225 shooters on 
the lot for the day's outing plus the 
usual assortment of wives, kids and dogs. 



By Ross DUNNIGAN 

Cap Boomhower, of the Hiway Patrol, 
fooled the boys by getting his limit Sat- 
urday morning at his private fishin' hole 
where he got the limit in two hours. 
Honest, that's what the man said ! 

Vic Vignola of the Oakland Club is 
one of those hard working guys that all 
clubs have — but don't appreciate. Vic 
fixes broken plumbing, bum wiring, 
busted boards, backstops and all sorts of 
gadgets that go wrong in any club. Vic 
does it with a smile and actually gets a 
kick out of helping out in his own way. 
But what I started to say was that Vic 
has been shooting pretty good scores with 
a gun handed down to him by his great, 
great grandfather and has often wished 
for a more modern weapon — say, like 
one made about 1900 or so then maybe 
he would shoot better scores. The boys 
from the Oakland Club got together and 
bought him a new 1954 model .38 re- 
volver and made the presentation last 
Sunday. At first Vic thought it was some 



sort of a joke but soon the light dawned 
in his noggin and was he happy? How 
would you have felt under the same 
circumstances ? Well, Vic, you can now 
put the old blunderbus back in the 
museum. 

Another of our regulars was Frank 
Lipoid who brought along his 6 year old 
daughter. Frank and the youngster were 
having a swell time sitting on the benches 
playing paddy-cake, paddy-cake, baker's 
man. Later Frank confided that the kid 
had the right idea and he should have 
listened to her when she wanted Frank 
to stay and finish the game. 

Now some folks would find a good, 
clean moral to this tale but to me its 
just another way of a guy trying to put 
up a good alibi. Ed Roseberg claimed 
that he hadn't cleaned his gun in over a 
year so the nite before the matches he 
most carefully cleaned and pressed his 
shootin' irons. Comes the matches and

officers and highway patrolmen, were 
staged in many cities during the closing 
weeks of the school term. 

Public ceremonies honoring the acci- 
dent-prevention records of the boys and 
girls took place in San Francisco, Oak- 
land, Berkeley, Livermore, El Cerrito, 
Richmond, Stockton, San Rafael, Burlin- 
game and San Alateo. Other events such 
as picnics, trips and outings were held for 
School Patrols in many other communi- 
ties. 

School Safety Patrols number some 
600,000 in nationwide membership with 
northern and central California totalling 
30,000 School Patrol boys and girls. Po- 
lice Departments in cities and the Cali- 
fornia Highway Patrol in rural areas 
supervise the training of the School Safety 
Patrols and join with the School Depart- 
ments, Parent-Teacher organizations and 
the California State Automobile Associa- 
tion in sponsoring this outstanding youth- 
safety movement. 

The following cities reported events 
honoring the Patrols: 

San Francisco School Safety Patrols

TRACY RUNS ON RECORD 



July, 1954 



Sheriff Joseph B. Tracy is campaigning 
for re-election to the combined office of 
Sheriff-Coroner, to which he was elected 
four years ago after several years of serv- 
ice as Deputy United States Marshal of 
the Fresno District. Tracy said he will 
base his candidacy strictly on his record in 
office. He is opposed by Melvin Will- 
mirth, superintendent of the Fresno 
County Jail farm. 

Tracy's statement follows : 

"Four years ago I pledged myself to 
devote my full time to the office of 
Sheriff-Coroner, if elected, and I have 
carried out that pledge. Aside from trips 
out of the County, for the most part on 
official business, and a few short vacation 
trips, I have been on call twenty-four 
hours a day. 

"My campaign program four years ago 
was based on five main points, and I 
have carried out every one of them. 

"First, I promised to tighten the secu- 
rity of our County Jail. This has been 
accomplished by frequent inspections and 
by talcing away from the trustees the keys 
to the tanks which they formerly carried. 
Moreover, telephones have been installed 
so that prisoners may make one personal 
call at the time of arrest. 

"Second, I promised to provide better 
food for our prisoners, and more vege- 
tables at no extra cost. This has been 
accomplished. Formerly prisoners were 
fed only twice a day, and had nothing to 
eat between dinner at 3 o'clock in the 
afternoon and breakfast at 6:30 o'clock 
the next morning. Now we give them 
nourishing soup and bread at 6:30 
o'clock in the evening. Juveniles are fed 
three times daily, under supervision, in 
the kitchen dining room. 

"My third promise was that I would 
establish a Crime Prevention Bureau to 
handle juveniles. This was accomplished 
some six months after I took office. The 
first full year, 1952, saw the handling of 
1,109 cases, involving 1,771 persons. Of 
this number 1,390 were juveniles, includ- 
ing 900 boys and 490 girls. Of these 
youngsters, 590 were under 14 years of 
age, ranging up to 216 at age 16. 

"It may be a surprise to some that, of 
the 1,771 individuals handled by this bu- 
reau, 1,682 were of the white race, in- 
cluding 347 of Mexican descent ; 67 were 
Negroes and 22 were Asiatic. Some 589 
came from broken homes; 186 were re- 
peaters. Of these cases there were 187 on 
which petitions were filed or certified ; 
284 were given voluntary probation ; 249 
were transferred, and with 1,051 action 
was suspended or the individual was dis- 



missed. We are justly proud in the 
Sheriff's Office of the Crime Prevention 
Bureau, which has received much com- 
mendation. 

"The fourth point in my program was 
physical examination and F.B.I, training 
for Sheriff's deputies. All applicants for 
dcputyships now receive complete physi- 
cal examinations when they are selected 
from the lists. We have had two F.B.I. 
schools on general investigation and re- 
port writing, one on defense tactics, and 



one on the use of firearms. We have also 
had first-aid training by the Red Cross 
for all deputies, plus civil defense first- 
aid for all auxiliary officers. We sent 
two men to the explosives school in Los 
Angeles and they, in turn, conducted 
local schools, the first in California. We 
have been commended by Major General 
W. M. Robertson, State Director of 
Civil Defense, for these training pro- 
grams.

YOUNGEST POLICE CHIEF 



Since the first of Februan-, 1954 the 
it>' of Dinuba has claimed the youngest 
police chief in the State of California to 
be in charge of a police force consisting 
of more than four men. 

Thirty year old William H. Berlin. 
Jr.. who responds more readily to just 
plain "Bill", took over the Dinuba de- 
partment on that date and since then has 
concentrated on developing one of the 
most efficient law enforcement agencies 
in the state. 

Berlin, who was born in Santa Cruz, 
California, was graduated from Santa 
Cruz High School in 1941 and immedi- 
ately enlisted in the United States 
Marines. He served until November 13, 
1945. including a 30 month hitch over- 
seas in the Pacific Theater of operations. 
Ten days after his discharge he joined the 
Santa Cruz Police Department and 
sened as a radio patrolman, juvenile 
officer, member of the detective bureau 
and as Sergeant. 



He left the Santa Cruz department in 
April, 1953 to take over a position with 
a Fresno insurance company as claims 
adjuster and investigator and worked 
there until his appointment as Chief of 
the Dinuba department. 

During his service with the Santa 
Cruz department Berlin attended more 
than 18 Federal Bureau of Investigation 
training schools, was considered the out- 
standing shot on the police pistol team, 
has qualified as a fingerprint expert and 
is qualified to teach criminal law, inter- 
rogation, road blocks, burglary investiga- 
tions, homicide investigation and firearms 
technique. 

His wife, Marjorie is a former Fresno 
girl. The couple have three children. 
Loren, Terr\- and Trudy. Berlin is a 
member of the Dinuba Rotary Club. 

His first move on joining the depart- 
ment was to change the uniforms to full 
tropical worsted shirt and trousers, green 
jackets and a red stripe on the sleeve, a 



uniform which, for some strange reason, 
reminds one faintly of the USMC. All 
personnel are now sporting crew haircuts 
and must be clean shaven. (We have no 
data on reveille, mess call, retreat or 
taps. Hafta check with Chief Berlin.) 

The population of Dinuba is estimated 
at about 6500 within one and one half 
square miles with an additional 6,000 
living within a three mile radius around 
the city. 

The department includes Chief Ber- 
lin. Captain Ben Webb, an 18 year 
veteran. Sergeant Elmer "Buck" Pence, 
five years service. Officer Clarence Spier, 
two years service. Officers Frank Leal 
and Robert Pizzo and Reserve Officers 
Robert Collins and Charles Davis. 

Mobile equipment includes two patrol 
units, both equipped with modern three 
way radio. At present the radio diiparch- 
ing is taken care of by Fire contro', a 
situation Chief Berlin hopes to impro' e 
soon.

SOUSA WINS AGAIN 



July. 195^. 



Carlos A. Sousa, the reformed foot- 
ball coach who became sheriff-coroner of 
San Joaquin County four years ago, may 
not be the best peace officer in California, 
but you will have to look a long time for 
a better one and, after finding him, it 
will take an array of Philadelphia law- 
yers to convince the people of Sousa's 
home county that anyone can top the 
local boy. 

A lot of people laughed when Sousa, 
then a recreation director, ran for sheriff 
back in 1946 but nobody laughed this 
year when Sousa, after eight years of out- 
standing service in a post no one thought 
he had a chance to get, took on all 
comers and nearly lapped the field while 
he breezed into a third term of office 
during the primary elections. 

There is ample reason for Sousa's out- 
standing success. Together with Michael 
Canlis, who once played football for the 
Sheriff, he has organized one of the 
most efficient sheriff's departments in 
California. Sousa is the type of man 
whom almost everyone likes on first sight 
and who builds up a feeling of respect 



and admiration over a longer acquaint- 
ance. He is a man who plays the game 
fair and who expects his fellow man to 
and he runs his office on that premise. 

When he ran for Sheriff the first time 
he announced that he would keep his 
campaign clean and he kept his word. 

"I want to win," he declared, "But I 
want a clean fight. You will not get any 
name calling or mud slinging from me. 
There is no need to roll politics in the 
gutter." 

Apparently some contemporary politi- 
cians could take a lesson from Sousa, be- 
cause he has demonstrated that clean poli- 
tics and a good record in office is what 
the people in San Joaquin County like. 

Sousa had a lot of work to do when 
he took over the office eight years ago. 
The old San Joaquin Sheriff's office was 
efficient, but needed a thorough going 
over. Modernization was one need. Im- 
proved working conditions for the 
sheriff's deputies and office staff were 
also needed. Ex-coach Sousa pitched into 
his new job with vigor. 



His first move was to place his entin 
personnel under civil service and give 
them a shorter work week. Slowly th( 
wages of his men climbed and the work- 
ing day shrunk. Today a San Joaquin 
deputy works a 40 hour week. 

Sheriff Sousa's next step was to set 
that all deputies were dressed in service^ 
able, neat uniforms. Then he turned his 
attention to their ability and education. 
Today every man must take refresher 
training courses for two weeks ever'' 
year. These courses include instructioi 
in all phases of peace officer fundamentals 
and a rundown of new laws. In addition 
to the extra schooling, every man must 
take periodic examinations which estab- 
lish his standing with the force. And 
the examinations do not stop with the 
ordinary deputy. Every officer up to and 
including the rank of captain must take 
the tests. 

As a step toward forwarding with his 

modernization program. Sheriff Sousa 

sent his old pupil, Michael Canlis, back 

to school. Canlis' new alma mater wa

DELTA CITY 



Stockton, one of many Pacific Coast 
communities which is bulging at the 
seams with an expanding population, is 
unique among cities of comparative size 
in the State of California due to the fact 
that it has both agricultural and indus- 
trial activities as a reason for its phenom- 
enal growth. 

Stockton, located along the fabulously 
rich San Joaquin River Delta, distrib- 
utes by truck, rail and ocean-going 
steamers a wealth of vegetables and 
fruits. It also boasts dozens of modern 
plants ranging from small shops with 
half a dozen hands to the giant Ameri- 
can Can Company factory which is 
located there. 

Residents of the city are proud of the 
outstanding rating their city has as a 
business center and of the cultural and 
social status they have attained. They ad- 
mit nature has helped them and boast 
that their industrious and far seeing pio- 
neer citizens worked hard and success- 
fully to make their town a perfect com- 
bination of agricultural and industrial 
enterprises. 

Jack A. O'Keefe, a rabid baseball fan 
with a background in police work dating 
to 1936, took over the Stockton Police 
Department in 1950 and since then has 
maintained a department capable of do- 
ing a more than ample job of handling 
Stockton's multiple police problems. 

At present Chief O'Keefe is giving the 
city a high order of law enforcement 
which ranks second to none in Califor- 
nia. He attributes his success to the fact 
that he is in charge of a loyal and effi- 
cient group of peace officers who take 
pride in their community. 

The department is truly a stream- 
lined force following in every detail the 
latest subuniting approved in the Fed- 
eral Bureau of Investigation and Inter- 
national Police Administration. This 
method of having the right protection at 
the proper place has given Stockton a 
minimum of crimes against persons and 
property and made it a city that can 
boast of few crimes of violence and a 
small percentage of so called nuisance 
offenses. 

Recruits to the department and promo- 
tions within the force are secured 
through strict civil service examinations 
and the entire personnel are men in the 
prime of life. 

Recruits are trained in the various 
phases of police activity and the inter- 




Chief J. A. O'Keefe 

pretation of department rules and regu- 
lations. During the non summer months 
a program of in service training is car- 
ried on for all ranks in the department. 
The lectures in the non summer course 
cover patrol procedure, station procedure, 
public relations, criminal investigation, 
criminal identification, care and use of 
firearms, reports and records, communi- 
cations, criminal law and procedure and 
target practice. 







The traffic division includes a captain, 
a lieutenant, a sergeant and twenty-five 
partlomen. Route 99, a main Central 
California and North South travel 
artery, calls for continuous service on 
the part of the traffic division. The seven 
three wheel motorcycles, five radio cars 
and six motorcycles assigned to this ex- 
cellent department unit are busy at all 
times with parking violations, speeders 
and others who violate traffic laws or run 
afoul of the physical laws against the 
irresistable force meeting the immovable 
object. 

Because of the fact that Stockton al- 
ways houses a considerable percentage of 
migratory workers, the detective division 
including one captain, two lieutenants, 
ten sergeants and three patrolmen, have 
a mansized job in holding organized 
criminal elements out of the city. Their 
arrest and conviction records are out- 
standing and though Stockton is a cos- 
mopolitan city, gangsterism is unknown 
there and petty offenses are at a mini- 
mum. 

Crime prevention is believed to be of 
prime importance by Chief O'Keefe. He 
has discovered that this phase of recog- 
nized police efficiency is best effected 
through specialized attention to the youth 
of the community and, along this line 
the Stockton Juvenile Squad has been 
eminently successful, proving time and 
again that an ounce of prevention is 
worth the proverbial pound of cure. 

Fourteen years ago Chief O'Keefe 
married Miss Mary Budiselich. The 
couple have two children, Marlene, 12, 
and Johnny, seven. 

Within easy distance of the city are 
excellent fishing and hunting. Bass, both 
large mouth, small mouth and stripers 
are the top local favorites along with 
upland birds and wild duck. 

Chief O'Keefe, a man who has lead 
an active athletic life, concentrates on 
baseball. He has held the post of Vice 
President of the Stockton Ports and is 
an avid fan.

A CANDLE. A SPOON. A GUN 

(Continued from page 3) 
"^V^e don't think so," Zimnierlin told 
her. "But we'd like to meet the gentle- 
man." 

The girl hesitated. "If he's in trouble 
I don't want to turn him in. I like the 

guy." 

"You're in trouble yourself," she was 
reminded. "Plenty of trouble. You've 
got that to think about." 

"Willi get a break if I talk?" 

"We can't promise anything. But 
we'll get Miller sometime. AH we want 
to do is question him. If he's innocent, 
he'll be all right. If he's guilty he belongs 
in jail. ^Ve'll appreciate your help." 

The girl decided discretion was the 
better part of her peculiar brand of 
valor. She talked. When she finished she 
had given the detectives Miller's apart- 
ment address and admitted that he had 
asked her to provide an alibi for him in 
case he was ever picked up on a holdup 
charge. 

An hour later Bradley and Girard re- 
turned and the four inspectors proceeded 
to the corner of Andover and Park 
Streets, parked, and moved on foot down 
Park. 

"That ought to be 384 over there," 
Zimmerlin declared. "His '38 Ford is 
parked in front of it." 

"That's it all right," Heeg agreed. 
"But no Buick." 

Girard shrugged. "All we can do is 
try. Maybe the Buick is in the garage." 

"Someone had better cover the rear 
entrance," Bradley suggested. "If Miller 
is in there he may try to duck out the 
back way." 

After a brief huddle the inspectors de- 
cided that Zimmerlin and Girard would 
try the front door while Bradley and 
Heeg covered the rear. An c\amination 
of the premises revealed that the only ac- 
cess to the rear would be through the 
garage. Zimmerlin and Girard waited 
while their companions worked on the 
garage doors. The doors were locked 
from the inside and stubbornlv res'sted 
their attempts to open them. Heee pro- 
duced the standard piece of celluloid, but 
it soon became apparent that the doors 
were not fastened by an ordinary spring 
lock. 

Bradley worked on the bottom of a 
door. Bv reaching with a wire through a 
recess there he was able to release a 
spring jam and, after several attempts, 
to lift a bar which held the double doors 
closed. Thev swung open soundlessly as 
soon as the bar was removed. There was 
no car in the garage, but Bradlev's flash- 
light focused on a rubble littered passage 
which led to a rear entrance. He waved 
to the others and started inside, followed 



closely by Heeg. The passage took them 
to a narrow aisle which paralleled the 
rear of the garage and apartment house, 
terminating at the rear steps of the build- 
ing, where it opened into the major por- 
tion of the back yard. The two detectives 
proceeded soundlessly toward the steps 
with Bradley, flashlight in hand, leading 
the way. 

When Heeg and Bradley disappeared 
into the garage, Zimmerlin and Girard 
approached the front door of the apart- 
ment house. The doorbell, an instrument 
of ancient vintage which was supposed 
to work manually as the result of the 
twist of an outside knob, proved to be 
worthless, so the two men rapped on the 
glass. There was no answer. They 
waited a respectable time, then knocked 
again. Still no answer. 

Zimmerlin turned to Girard. "What 
do you think ?" he whispered. 

"Maybe he's not home, or maybe . . ." 
Girard paused and listened intently for 
a moment. "I think someone's moving 
around in there. Listen." 

He paused in time for the detectives 
to hear a door close stealthily, almost 
soundlessly. There was a slience, then 
the door creaked open. The sound of 
muffled footsteps moved toward the rear 
of the building. 

"He's taking it on the lam," Girard 
declared. "Try that door." 

The door opened easily and the two in- 
spectors darted toward the rear of the 
long hall that confronted them. A shot 
sounded from the back of the building, 
then another and another. The detectives 
broke into a full run. 

At seven o'clock that evening Harold 
Miller had been nervous. Part of it was 
the drug which was getting a good, 
strong grip on him again. But mostly it 
was the telephone call he had received 
a couple of hours earlier. The cops had 
been asking questions. As close as he 
could tell they didn't have anything but 
a hunch, but a hunch was enough. He 



was hot and he knew it. If they nailed 
anything on him they had plenty to send 
him to the big house. Even if they did 
not get him for a specific stickup there 
were the dope and his guns. They were 
enough to send him up for a long stretch. 

A man who is on snow gets nervous 
when he thinks about things like that. 
They don't give you a ration of stuff in 
San Quentin. Just thinking about it 
brings the frayed nerve endings a little 
closer to the snapping point and makes 
the hands do a little dance of their own 
over which the mind has no control. But 
there is a cure. For a man who is hooked 
there is always a cure if he can get it. 

Miller went to his bureau drawer and 
procured a candle, a spoon, an eyedrop- 
per, some cotton, a hypodermic needle, 
and a little package of white powder. 
He worked with speed that comes from 
experience. First he mixed the powder 
and cut it. Next he heated it over the 
candle in the spoon. Finally he trans- 
ferred it to the eyedropper, then the 
needle, and at last his arm. When that 
job was finished he checked his .41 revol- 
ver to see that it was properly loaded, 
pumped a shell into the chamber of his 
nine millimeter Luger, then replaced it 
in the clip, slipped ofiE the safeties on 
both guns, laid them on the bed table, 
and retired. He started to read, but the 
fast acting drug soon stopped that. Within 
minutes he had turned out the light and 
was sleeping peacefully. Several hours 
later he heard the knocking on the front 
door. 

Miller left the bed and the .41 left 
the bed table simultaneously. Cautiously 
he opened the hall door and peered 
toward the front portal. Two figures sil- 
houetted against the window which 
formed the top third of the door told 
him all he needed to know. Two men 
wearing snap brim hats and topcoats. 
Miller found this significant in two 
wavs. First, none of his friends wore

FINGERPRINTING 

From the book FIXGERPRINTS bv Douglas G. 
Browne & -Man Brock. Copyright. 1954, bv E. P. 
Dutton & Co., Inc.. Fubhshers. 

AVolseley Crescent and Koomasi A\e- 
nue, in the suburb of Hanbury, in South- 
east London, were laid out, as their names 
imply, soon after the Ashanti War of the 
I870's. Their houses, designed for well- 
to-do families with at least two servants 
living in, are detached and double-fronted, 
with front and back gardens. In the days 
before two world wars it is probable that 
these houses were never empty except 
when the families were on holiday, when 
the servants were put on board wages and 
such things as silver and jewelry went to 
the bank. Times have changed, and now 
in 1953, though there are still households 
in Wolseley Crescent and Koomasi Ave- 
nue living in comfortable style, they have 
to make do with a daily maid and a char- 
woman, and, indeed, feel thenisehes 
lucky to get either. 

The Harrisons, at Chatsworth, AVolse- 
ley Crescent, live in this way. Almost 
their only link with the past is the habit 
of sending their valuables to the bank 
when they go away in August and Sep- 
tember. They have — or they had — some 
good antique silver, and Mrs. Harrison's 
jewels were valued at £4000. Mr. and 
Mrs. Harrison are seldom both out in 
the evening, though their two daughters 
aged seventeen and nineteen, are then, on 
the contrary, seldom both at home. It did, 
however, sometimes occur to Mr. Harri- 
son that in these servantless and lawless 
days, with the papers full of burglaries 
and bashings, he really ought to do some- 
thing about the leaded panes in the front 
door and in certain windows, particularly 
the drawing-room window, which over- 
looked the large back garden. These orna- 
ments, with their colored glass, the pride 
of the builder in the 1870's, were as good 
as an invitation to the least skilful burg- 
lar. I\Ir. Harrison's sensible intentions, 
however, never got beyond putting in 
screw latches and an extra lock on the 
front door. After all, either he or his wife 
was almost always at home in the dark 
evening hours. 

But not quite alwa> s ; and one evening 
in February, to celebrate his elder daugh- 
ter's success in an extremely stiii examina- 
tion in physiotherapy, the whole famih- 
went to the theater. Returning home b\' 
Tube, they reached Chatsworth at 1 1 :M), 
to find that the long-standing invitation to 
thieves had been accepted. The house had 
been entered by way of the leaded panes 
along the top of the drawing-room win- 
dow, and most of Mrs. Harrison's jewels 
and smaller pieces of silver taken. 

While Mrs. Harrison and the girls 
were onh' beginning to find out what had 
gone, Mr. Harrison ran to the telephone

in the hall, grabbed the receiver, and 
dialed Hanbury 1113. Most Metropoli- 
tan police stations are so numbered. AIv. 
Harrison had heard a good deal about 
fingerprints, but either he thought that a 
burglar was not likely to use the tele- 
phone, or he did not stop to think at all. 



The police station being near at hand, 
a uniformed inspector, a detective-ser- 
geant in plain clothes, and a constable 
were at Chatsworth within five minutes 
Before the inspector did anything else he 
asked the family to stop handling things; 
he did not waste breath in reproving Mr. 
Harrison, whose finger- and palm-prints 
had no doubt obliterated many others on 
the telephone receiver, but, picking this 
up with greater care, by the earpiece, he 
dialed Whitehall 1212. The response was 
immediate, and the inspector then asked 
for two e.xtension numbers, those of the 
Fingerprint Department and its no less 
important branch the Photographic De- 
partment. In the Metropolitan Police 
Area, though each of the twenty-three 
divisions has its own C.I.D. officer, when 
a crime is committed fingerprint and 
photographic experts are summoned from 
Scotland Yard. 

While the inspector waited for their 
arrival, he went over the house with Mr. 
Harrison. The detective-sergeant interro- 
gated the rest of the family, discouraging 
their impulse to illustrate their stories by 
touching things. The inspector himself, 
well trained though he was, took the ex- 
tra precaution of keeping his hands be- 
hind his back most of the time. It was ap- 
parent to him that the burglar had known 
what he was after, and had worked with 
intelligence and restraint. Having simply 
pushed in a strip of leaded glass in the 
drawing-room window, which was not 
overlooked by neighboring houses, and 
satisfied himself that Chatsworth was 
empty, he had then, the inspector thought, 
begun his depredations on the first floor. 
All the bedroom doors there stood open, 
but the intruder was interested only in 
the elder Harrison's room, where Mrs. 
Harrison kept her jewel case in a locked 
drawer of her dressing table. The drawer 
and the case had been forced, and the 
case, empty, was left on the dressing table 
among silver-backed brushes and other 
e.xpensive toilet implements whose value 
was insufficient to outweigh the disad- 
vantage of their bulk. As the inspector 
saw it, the thief, having pocketed the jew- 
els, had then gone through the drawing 
and dining rooms below, collecting small 
silver. 

All this would have taken little time. 
What had the unknown done then ? Had 
he left at once, or had he, as so often 
happens, lingered for a drink or food ? It 
it at this stage, when the booty has been

gathered, that a criminal tends to relax, 
if only for a few minutes, before quitting 
the scene of action as unobtrusively as he 
came. Anyone who has had to do a job 
under a considerable nervous tension 
knows that an immediate result is thirst, 
and breakers and enterers are notoriously 
addicted to a quick one for the road. It 
may be only water or lemonade. But dur- 
ing what in fact is reaction after strain 
the most cautious veteran will sometimes 
forget routine precautions he has employ- 
ed automatically until that moment ; hav- 
ing as a matter of course worked in 
gloves, he may even take one ofif to handle 
a bottle, or to peel an apple, and so leave 
fingerprints behind. 

Mr. Harrison's small store of wine and 
spirits, kept in a sideboard cupboard in 
the dining room, did not appear to have 
been touched. Leaving it for the finger- 
print people to examine, the Hanbury in- 
spector asked Mrs. Harrison to see if she 
thought that anything in the kitchen was 
out of place. The kitchen was well lighted 
and extremely neat ; china and polished 
glasses filled a glazed cupboard above the 
dresser ; along the top of the dresser was 
ranked an array of painted tins marked 
Tea, Coffee, Sugar, and Biscuits, a large 
flat tin being for cake. Everything, said 
Mrs. Harrison, was as she had last seen 
it. So far as she could tell, food in the 
refrigerator had not been tampered with. 

In the dining room, in the meantime, 
the constable was obtaining from Mr. 
Harrison and the two girls, with the aid 
of an address book, a preliminary list of 
all recent visitors to the house, beginning 
with the daily maid and the charwoman. 
He was at work on this, and his senior 
officers were returning with Mrs. Harri- 
son from the kitchen, when a police car 
drew up outside. It was just after mid- 
night. 

Four officers had come from Scotland 
Yard — a first-class sergeant of the Fing- 
erprint Department, on duty that night, 
accompanied by a detective-constable, and 
a sergeant from the photographic branch 
with his own assistant. All were in plain 
clothes. In the presence of the Harrison 
family the local inspector received the 
newcomers with due formality, but when 
he and his detective-sergeant had taken 
them into the drawing room formal man- 
ners were dropped, for all happened to be 
known to one another. C.I.D. officers 
from the Central Office work in teams, 
and the teams are often the same. 

"Well, George," said the fingerprint 
sergeant, whose name was Ash, "here we 
are again, How's the wife?" 

Social exchanges were brief, and the 
inspector got on with his tale. Sergeant

Ash whistled through his teeth in a minor 
key. 

"You'll be getting after the maid," he 
said at the end. 

The other nodded. "And the char. 
Some one told the fellow what to look 
for, and where to look. And when. " 

"Any ideas about him?" 

"It might be so-and-so. . . ." Fhe in- 
spector reeled off the names of several 
professions, known in the Division, who 
favored entry by leaded windows. "But 
it could be anybody. Needn't be a local. 
It's money for jam. Only this is rather 
a bigger haul than usual. I've heard of 
Mrs. Harrison's jewelry." 

Sergeant Ash whistled more mourn- 
fully. "Some people ne\er learn. Well, 
George, if you want to be home for break- 
fast, we'd better begin." 

By the broken window his assistant had 
opened an attache case and was setting 
out on an occasional table two small bot- 
tles of fine powder, gray and black, and 
camel's-hair brushes of various sizes. Fak- 
ing a bottle of gray powder and a small 
brush, he went into the hall, followed by 
the photographers with their camera and 
tripod. As Ash and the inspector passed 
by, on their way to the dining room, the 
camera was being set up, while the finger- 
print man lightly brushed powder o\er 
the telephone instrument. 

In the dining room the four Harrisons 
were still recalling the names of recent 
visitors, who were numerous, for friends 
of the two girls were constanth' in and 
out. Mr. Harrison's glance at the side- 
board suggested that he felt he could do 
with a drink. The divisional inspector 
soon left Sergeant Ash with the famil\ 
and returned to the hall. The telephone 
instrument had been powdered and the 
surplus powder blown away, re\ealing on 
the recei\er a mass of superimposed 
finger- and palm-prints, over all being 
the impression of Air. Harrison's hand, 
moist with agitation. Photographs had 
then been taken, and the instrument be- 
ing now available for use, the inspector 
rang up Hanbury Police Station to de- 
mand the immediate summoning, from 
their beds if necessary, of the Harrison's 
daily maid and charwoman. The detec- 
tive-constable from the fingerprint De- 
partment had returned with the photog- 
raphers to the drawing room, where he 
began to work over the window. The 
leading of the upper panes had been 
thrust inward until it broke, and many 
of the small colored segments of glass had 
fallen to the floor. AH these, and the glass 
and glazing bars surrounding the gap, 
would be powdered and scrutinized and 
perhaps photographed. The patient work 
would be continued with the furniture of 
the room — much of the vanished silver

Greetings to the

AL ANDERSON 



Stockton, California 



had been in two glass-topped cabinet 
tables — and so onward, if it had to be 
done, throughout the house. ^Vhole doors 
might be powdered and examined inch by 
inch. Movable objects, such as the cabinet 
tables, would probably be taken to Scot- 
land Yard. Such labors, as Sergeant Ash 
told the startled Mrs. Harrison, have 
been known to go on for days. 

The sergeant, however, had his own 
ideas. He was fond of taking what he 
called short cuts, the fruits, in fact, of 
considerable experience in the ways of 
criminals. He now rejoined his friend the 
inspector and went off with him to the 
kitchen. As the pair stood looking at the 
picture of neatness it presented. Sergeant 
Ash whistling again in a mournful key, 
an idea came to his companion, who 
reached out to feel two dishcloths hang- 
ing on a line. They appeared to be dry 
and clean, but, having felt the second one, 
the inspector fingered it again. 

"I'd say that's been used since the fam- 
ily went off at si.x o'clock," he said. 

The sergeant felt it too. "Aye, damp- 
ish," he agreed. 

He ran his eye along the array of 
glasses in the glazed cupboard ; opening 
this by inserting a pocketknife under the 
handle, he peered at a row of upturned 
tumblers. Then, taking a long pencil 
from his pocket, he pushed a tumbler to- 
wards him with the knife until the rim 
projected beyond the edge of the shelf 
and he could insert the unsharpened end 
of the pencil inside the inverted glass. 
When the end touched the bottom of the 
tumbler he pulled this off the shelf and 
spun it gently before his eyes, finally ma- 
nipulating it back into its place without 
touching it with his fingers. Having re- 
peated the process with the other five 
tumblers in the row, he shook his head. 

"He probably had a drink, if he used 
that cloth. But he polished up after him. 
Trod on something, George?" 

The inspector was standing on one leg 
and bending sideways to feel the sole of 
his other boot. 

"Only a currant," he said. "But I can 
never bear squashy things underfoot. Re- 
minds me of the beetles in the old kitchen 
when I was a boy." 

"No beetles here," said the sergeant, 
but with an abstracted air. He was look- 
ing thoughtfully at the cake tin on the 
dresser. The tin was circular and flat, 
nearly a foot in diameter, and, like the 
other cylindrical tins, it was painted 
green, with "Cake" in gold letters on the 
lid. Sergeant Ash opened his pocketknife 
and, pushing the blade under the tin, 
caused this to rotate slowlv on the dresser

while he stooped to scrutinize every inch 
of the rounded side. 

"Does your wife polish her cake tin, 
George?" he inquired. "Doesn't seem na- 
tural to me." 

Stooping lower, his head on one side, 
he peered along the top of the lid, and 
then again rotated the tin to examine the 
side, the glossy surface of which reflected 
the bright kitchen light overhead. 

"See what I see, George?" 

The inspector stooped with him. 
"There's a blur there that might be a 
print." 

"How do you open a tin like this, with 
a tight-fitting lid?" 

The inspector, straightening himself, 
went through motions with his hands. 
Sergeant Ash began to whistle through 
his teeth again, but now it was a lively 
air. 

"Yes," he said. "You get your nails un- 
der the edge of the lid. If you press the 
tin against your tummy you can lever the 
lid off without touching the side of the 
tin. You could do it one-handed, but if 
the fit's really close it wouldn't be so easy 
if you were wearing a glove. How do you 
put the lid on again ?" 

The inspector went through more mo- 
tions in the air. "You'd need at least one 
thumb on top," he said. 

"So you would, George. You'd press 
your thumb on top and your fingers 
against the side. There isn't a vestige of a 
print on this lid, but that's a dab on the 
side of the tin all right. Looks to me as if 
whoever last opened the tin gave it a 
hasty wipe over, but missed that print on 
the side. If it isn't a man's, the woman 
who made it has bigger hands than most." 

Picking up his attache case from the 
chair on which he had laid it, the sergeant 
again produced his bottle of gray powder, 
the porcelain dish, and a brush. He pow- 
dered the print on the cake tin, and blew 
the surplus powder away. 

"A loop," he said. 

His friend peered earnestly at what 
now was obviously a fingerprint on the 
side of the tin. 

"Well, you \vould know," he said. 

"As you say, George. Well, we'll check 
it with the family's. If it doesn't belong 
to any of them we'll have this pretty tin 
packed up and taken to the Yard straight 
away. I like short cuts," Sergeant Ash 
added, "and if I was a betting man I'd 
risk a bob on there being a currant cake 
inside." 

The pair went back to the dining 
room, where the sergeant laid his attache 
case on the table. 

"Now, sir," he said to Mr. Harrison, 
"I must ask you all to have your finger- 
prints taken. We may have to take all 
your friends' prints too." From his at- 
tache case he took out an inkpad and roU-

er, some small fingerprint forms, a bottle 
of spirit, and a clean cloth. "These forms 
will be destroyed as soon as we've done 
with them," said the sergeant. "They're 
just for checking." 

The prospect of being fingerprinted 
took Mr. Harrison's mind off his troubles 
and delighted his daughters, but Mrs. 
Harrison, looking at her hands, asked 
rather distastefully if it was really neces- 
sary. 

"Elimination, ma'am," said Sergeant 
Ash. "You have what we call right of ac- 
cess. So have your friends, and your ser- 
vants. The inspector here will look after 
them if necessary — take their prints on 
special forms like these, and send them 
to us. The forms will be destroyed after- 
wards. It's just a formality, ma'am. When 
we've printed all of you there may be a 
print in the house that don't belong. It 
may be the print of one of our friends, 
not yours." 

Mrs. Harrison seemed dismayed. "You 
mean you will look all over the house for 
fingerprints? But that will take a long 
time." 

"Days, ma'am, perhaps," said the ser- 
geant cheerfully. "But we may be lucky," 
he added more encouragingly. "We have 
our own little ideas about where to look, 
and sometimes it pays to take a short 
cut." He started to whistle through his 
teeth, but, remembering his company, 
checked himself. "Now, sir," he said to 
Mr. Harrison. 

The latter, much interested, had his 
fingers cleaned with spirit. First the 
thumb and then the fingers of his right 
hand were pressed firmly on the special 
form and rolled evenly from side to side. 
Satisfied with the result, Sergeant Ash 
repeated the process with Mr. Harrison's 
left hand. While Mr. Harrison wiped his 
fingers, his daughters eagerly followed 
him, but when his wife's turn came she 
submitted with obvious displeasure. Leav- 
ing her to clean her fingertips. Sergeant 
Ash drew the inspector into the hall. 

"Harrison's prints are Whorls," he 
said, as soon as they were out of hearing. 
"So are his wife's. The girl's are Loops, 
but they're too small. However, we'll 
check 'em for the record." 

Once more in the kitchen, under the 
bright light. Sergeant Ash compared the 
isolated print on the cake tin with those 
made by the Misses Harrison on the spe- 
cial forms. Size apart, there were enough 
points of difference, when indicated by 
the sergeant, to convince the divisional 
inspector that no member of the family 
had left the print on the tin. 

Before two o'clock in the morning the 
cake tin was at Scotland Yard, conveved 
there in the car which had brought Ser- 
geant Ash and his colleagues to Chats- 
worth.

7 he Fingerprint Department, the 
Criminal Record Office, and the photo- 
graphic studios and laboratory are housed, 
with the rest of the C.I.D., in New Scot- 
land Yard North, commonly called the 
North Building, the third and newest of 
the three known generically throughout 
the world as Scotland Yard. No right- 
minded person, when using that term, is 
thinking of the Lost Property Office on 
the other bank of the Thames. 

I he senior officer on duty in the Scenes 
of Crime Section of the Fingerprint De- 
partment to whom the cake tin was de- 
livered read the note from Sergeant Ash 
and then examined the imprint under a 
powerful light. He saw that it was a 
fairly well-defined pattern of the Loop 
type. 

The fingerprint system employed by 
the British police and devised by Sir Ed- 
ward Henry some fifty years ago groups 
the patterns of fingerprints into four main 
types: Arches, Loops, Whorls, and Com- 
posites. 'To simplify further the keeping 
and searching of records. Whorls and 
Composites are grouped together, and are 
given numerical values according to the 
digits on which they appear. Arches, 
which are divided into two groups — the 
Plain Arch and the 1 ented Arch — pos- 
sess no numerical value. Neither do 
Loops, but these patterns play subsidiary, 
although important, parts in the Henry 
Classification Scheme. 

If the four main types of fingerprint 
patterns were distributed in equal propor- 
tion on human fingers, classification 
would be much simplified, but unfortun- 
ately the proportion on Loops far exceeds 
the number of Arches, \Vhorls, and Com- 
posites. It follows, therefore, that, the im- 
print on Mrs. Harrison's cake tin being 
of the Loop type, the search was likely 
to be more difficult than if the pattern 
had been an Arch, Whorl, or Composite. 

This, however, did not trouble the offi- 
cer unduly, for after a few delicate 
touches with a camel's hair brush to re- 
move a little surplus powder he again ex- 
amined the imprint with a lens to which 
was attached a reticule inscribed with 
concentric circles. During the examina- 
tion he was very careful not to allow the 
reticule to come into actual contract with 
the imprint. 

He jotted down on a piece of paper the 
result of his scrutiny. Next he went 
through a series of motions with his hands 
over the tin. From these movements a 
casual observer might have formed the 
opinion that he was making some magical 
passes over the tin to conjure up some oc- 
cult power to help him trace the un- 
known maker of the print on the tin. But 
he was really making tests to ascertain 
the particular digit responsible for the 
telltale imprint. If this could be done

with certainty his task would be lightened 
immeasurably. 

Presently he paused in his mystic 
passes, and it became evident that he had 
come to some conclusion. He ceased his 
tick-tack display and added a figure "4" 
to his notes. 

The imprint was that of a Loop, you 
will recall, the most common of all types. 
Loops are divided into two categories — 
Radial and Ulnar — the latter being far 
more common than the former. The slope 
of the majority of the ridges of the print, 
together with the hand from which it is 
taken, decides into which category it is 
placed. The great majority of Loops 
which appear on the right hand have the 
trend of ridges to the right, and are des- 
ignated Ulnar Loops ; those on the left 
hand which slope to the left are again 
Ulnar Loops. In each case if the direction 
of the ridges is reversed the prints are 
Radial Loops. 

Thus it will be seen that a solitary 
print of the Loop type having the trend 
of the ridges to the right could be ( 1 ) 
an Ulnar Loop made by a finger of the 
right hand or (2) a Radial Loop made 
by a finger of the left hand. If the trend 
of the ridges is to the left the same crite- 
rion is applied by inversion. 

As the ridges of the print on the cake 
tin from Chatsworth sloped to the right, 
it appeared most likely that it had been 
made by a finger of the right hand— an 
Ulnar Loop — and less likely that it was . 
a print from the left hand — a Radial 
Loop. 

Now all Loops possess, in fingerprint 
language, two fixed points — (a) the core, 
(b) the delta. The core, as the term indi- 
cates, is located somewhere about the cen- 
ter of the print, and is usually the shape 
of an inverted staple (CI). This staple 
is enclosed by a number of similar staples 
which increase in size until the delta is 
reached. In some prints the delta is situ- 
ated near the core ; in others at varying 
distances. It is the inconstancy of the posi- 
tion of the delta in different prints which 
provides valuable data for the classifica- 
tion of this common pattern. The number 
of ridges intervening between the core 
and delta may be any number from one 
to thirty or more. 

The delta being present in the cake tin 
print, the examining officer carefully 
counted the ridges between it and the 
core. There were fifteen. He next turned 
his attention to the core. This was classi- 
fied under the symbol "C." By means of 
a special lens he fixed the position of the 
delta as "F" — which meant that it was 
located between the fifth and sixth of the 
concentric circles of the reticule. 

Having finished his examination of the 
print, he opened the cake tin. Sergeant

.•\sh had, in his accompanying note, asked 
for information about its contents. The 
tin contained a wedge of currant cake 
somewhat crumbled after its journey. 
The examining ofiBcer put the fragments 
into another container, replaced the lid, 
and made his way to the room which 
contained the Single Fingerprint Collec- 
tion, taking the tin with him. Fingerprint 
men are very jealous of their fragile ex- 
hibits, and are careful to see that they 
are not mutilated or destroyed. 

The method he proceeded to employ to 
classify the print on the tin was the in- 
vention of Superintendent Battley and 
Inspector Cherrill (later Chief Superin- 
tendent ) , and has simplified considerably 
the search for such isolated impressions 
among a collection running into millions 
of individual prints. By the Henry Sys- 
tem a primary classification of 1024 is ar- 
rived at. Theoretically it would require 
an enormous cabinet of thirty-rwo rows 
of thirty-two pigeonholes to provide stor- 
age for the collection now existing in Scot- 
land ^ ard, but in practice intensive sub- 
division has made it possible to house the 
fingerprints in a larger number of cabi- 
nets of convenient size. 

Every fingerprint form in the collec- 
tion has a complementary index card 
which enables a particular form to be lo- 
cated in a matter of seconds. Each form, 
however, pertaining as it does to a con- 
victed criminal, has a complete set of ten 
prints upon it — one from each digit. Be- 
fore the advent of the Single Fingerprint 
System the task of tracing the duplicate 
of a single casual print among millions of 
sets of ten had become all but an impos- 
sibility-. 

The Single Fingerprint System is in 
ettect a series of ten collections numbered 
from 1 to 10. each number referring to 
individual digits as they appear on the 
official form. The general classification is 
based on Henry's formula, but more in- 
tensive classification is carried out by the 
use of the special lens referred to previ- 
ously, and the designation of more sub- 
groups by special reference to cores and 
deltas. The prints for inclusion in the col- 
lection are selected from duplicates of 
those filed in the Main Collection. Each 
individual print is filed in the appropriate 
sub-collection, the whole collection being 
coordinated by an index and housed in 
a single room in a number of cabinets. 

Formulae on each card refer the 
searcher to the appropriate set of prints 
in the Main Collection. 

So far as the examining officer knew, 
the fingerprint on Mrs. Harrison's cake 
tin might have no connection whatever 
with the robbery at Chatsworth. It might 
even have no connection with crime at all. 
On the other hand, it might be the print 
of a first offender or that of a more prac-

ticed hand whose owner had never been 
charged and whose prints, therefore, 
would not be on file in the Main Collec- 
tion. In such case the photograph of the 
print would end up in the Scenes of 
Crime Collection, consisting of a large 
assortment of unidentified prints, many 
being those of innocent but unknown per- 
sons associated with innumerable police 
inquiries. 

But Sergeant Ash felt that the print 
was worth immediate investigation, and if 
the examining officer, having studied the 
formulae he had worked out, went to 
the cabinet without much hope — well, it 
was all in the way of his daily or nightly 
job, as the case might be. 

He pulled open a drawer. It was lab- 
eled "No. 4," and contained prints of 
the right ring finger. Under the number 
was an oblique stroke indicating that the 
patterns in the drawer were Ulnar Loops. 
Selecting a section of the cards marked 
''C. Core" and showing the number 15 
over the letter "F" in the top righthand 
corner, he began to flick over the cards. 
A few seconds later he paused and with- 
drew a card. Using a hand lens, he 
quickly checked the print on it with the 
imprint on the tin. A satisfied smile flitted 
over his face. The meager but suflScient 
particulars on the card were laid out as 
shown opposite : 

The symbols were identical with those 
the officer had jotted down previously. 
He noted the reference to the Criminal 
File entered on the card : it would be re- 
quired shortly. The next step was to ob- 
tain a photograph of the imprint as 
quickly as possible. Taking the tin and 
the card, he hurried to the Photographic 
Department. There he pointed out the in- 
criminating mark. A photographer imme- 
diately set up the tin in front of a camera 
fitted with a prism, which enables photo- 
graphs of white powdered fingerprints to 
be taken direct on to bromide paper.

After a few adjustments of the light- 
ing system an exposure was made. Re- 
moving the exposed paper from the cam- 
era, the photographer went into the dark 
room and quickly immersed the bromide 
paper in a developer. In a few seconds a 
clearly defined image of the print on the 
tin appeared. The photograph was merely 
shoivn the fixer, and there followed a 
rapid wash. It was blotted ofif, and very 
soon the examining officer was comparing 
the print disclosed in the still damp 
photograph with the impression on the 
card he had removed from No. 4 drawer

of the Single Fingerprint Collection. 

\es! There was no doubt about it! 
Nemesis was overtaking the unwelcome 
visitor to Chatsworth. Leaving the tin 
with the photographer for permanent 
photographs to be made of the mark, the 
examining officer made his way to the 
Criminal Record Office. In a few mo- 
ments the officer on duty there had pro- 
duced a folder in which the principal item 
was the descriptive form of Albert Wil- 
liam Simkin, aged twenty-seven, five feet 
three inches in height, blue-eyed, brown- 
haired, with a mole beneath his left shoul- 
der blade and a scar on his right forearm, 
four times convicted of burglary, his last 
sentence having expired five months pre- 
viously. Other documents in the folder 
provided information about Albert Sim- 
kin's various addresses and usual haunts 
(when not in prison), his parentage and 
friends, his more harmless pleasures — 
football and "the dogs" — and, what was 
of greater interest, his m.o., or modus 
operandi, when he went a-burglaring. He 
had twice broken into a house by means 
of a leaded window ; he usually chose the 
evening hours when families went out to 
local cinema or to a theater, obtaining his 
information from a servant; he was care- 
ful and tidy on the job; and he liked a 
bite and a drink before leaving, having 
a special weakness for sweet cookies or 
cake. 

A larger machinery of routine now 
went to work. Instructions were issued 
for the discovery and detention of Albert 
Simkin, particulars of whom were circu- 
lated. The fingerprint officer whose ex- 
amination of the cake tin had led to this 
conclusion ended his brief part in the 
case by telephoning the good news to 
Sergeant Ash, still at Chatsworth. It was 
not yet three o'clock. That, in all human 
probability, the burglar had been identi- 
fied within less than four hours of the 
Harrisons' discovery that their house had 
been entered was due to the efficiency of 
the fingerprint system. 

It may be added that there was a slight 
delay in locating Albert Simkin. He was 
not to be found in his usual haunts. Pos- 
sibly he had learned that the Harrisons' 
maid, a simple creature, complained an- 
grily to the local inspector that the nice 
young man who had taken her out once 
or twice, and who had shown such a s\m- 
pathetic interest in the behavior and ha- 
bits of her employers, had failed to meet 
her at the cinema as he had promised to 
do, on the evening of the burglary. When 
eventually the nice young man was picked 
up, it was too late to recover the Harri- 
sons' lost property. But Mr. Simkin him- 
self, as a result of his weakness for cake, 
and his carelessness in wiping a tin, is 
now undergoing his fifth and so far his 
heaviest, term of imprisonment.

It is unlikely that he is historically 
minded, or that prison libraries contain 
books on fingerprints. To the end of his 
life he will probably remain unaware that 
the process which has sexeral times led to 
his undoing, and which will be a con- 
tinual menace to him unless he alters his 
habits, has a history that goes back a very 
long way. 

GOOD RECORD 

California's motorists approach the sum- 
mer holidays with the best traffic safety 
record in recent years. 

"Let's keep it that way," urged the 
California Highway Patrol today. 

At the same time the Patrol cautioned 
motorists that many persons are expected 
to die in California traffic during the 
summer according to the estimates of sta- 
tisticians. 

Highway Patrol Commissioner B. R. 
Caldwell announced that the Patrol wil'i 
continue to emphasize visible enforcement 
to discourage accident-causing \'iolations 
and offered a fi\e point program for mo- 
torists in order to help them stay alive in 
the heaviest traffic nf the year thtis f?.r: 

1 . Be sure the car is in safe mechanical 
condition before starting. 

2. Never plan a trip longer than cm 
be made with safety. 

3. Travel in the proper line ar a speed 
consistent with the .low of traffic. 

4. Do not drive when overtired or 
sleepy. 

5. Never dri\-e after drinking. 

"If holiday highway users will manage 
their driving to comply with these five 
points, we can creste a pleasant surprise 
for the statisticians and also make this 
year, 1955, a time to honor the dead and 
not a time to join them," Caldwell com- 
mented. 

"Another pedestrian practice which 
causes a large number of deaths is walk- 
ing on the wrong side of a rural high- 
way, Caldwell added. The lawful and 
safe method is to walk as close to the left 
side of the highway as possible, f.acing on- 
coming traffic. This allows the pedestrian 
to watch traffic and gives him time to 
step out of the way when necessary." 

LEAVE NOZZLE ALONE 

It is a great deal easier to wash the car 
with a hose if the nozzle is left off en- 
tirely, points out the National Automo- 
bile Club. The nozzle, regardless of the 
setting used, gives the water greater pres- 
sure than if it is allowed to flow unre- 
stricted from the end of the hose. -As little 
pressure as possible is the desirable thing. 
Resides, the task of washing is less messy 
if the nozzle is removed from the hose.

THE SOCIAL ROOTS OF CRIME 

From the book. PROTECTING OUR CHIL- 
DREN, by John R. Ellington, copyright, 1948, bv 
Prentice-Hall Inc. 

In our society t\vo conflicting aims 
struggle to control both the administra- 
tion of criminal justice and the treatment 
of disobedient or offending children, 
whether by parents, school, or the law. 
These opposed aims are. punishment to 
fit the crime versus individual treatment 
to win the offender over to acceptable be- 
havior. Back of the conflicting aims stand 
conflicting ideas about the reasons each of 
us behaves the way we do. 

As the earliest and long the sole aim, 
punishment has the inside track. It enjoys 
the sanction of our instinctive reactions, 
of the ancient law-givers, and of the me- 
diaeval theology that so largely shaped 
the Western world. It rests on the funda- 
mental human impulse to strike out 
against what harms us. Thus primitive 
tribes retaliated against those individuals 
who put the whole tribe in danger by 
such major crimes as sorcery or treason. 
They left it to the individual or his clan 
to avenge the much less serious personal 
wrongs such as murder, theft, or slander 
on the basis of life for life, eye for eye, 
stripe for stripe. 

No moral judgments or interest in mo- 
tives entered into the use of punishments 
by primitive people. A man died for kill- 
ing another by accident just as surely as 
if he had lain in wait for him with a 
knife. It remained for the theologians of 
the early Middle Ages to introduce the 
emphasis on motives with their doctrines 
of free will and of original sin. They in- 
sisted that an individual sins or breaks 
the law solely because he wilfully prefers 
evil to good. He is a free moral agent who 
always knows right from wrong and is 
always free to choose between them. If 
he chooses evil he not only harms society 
but challenges the divine order. He must 
be punished to atone for his sin and to 
serve as a warning to others to deter them 
from committing the same offense. Chris- 
tendom held to this doctrine of wilful 
evil for centuries and, while it did, jus- 
tice could have no interest in the person- 
ality of the individual or in the circum- 
I'.tances surrounding the act. In theor\', at 
I'^ast, and often enough in fact, justice 
fixed its eyes exclusively on the theft, un- 
mindful of whether the thief was a child 
or was starving. Its duty was limited to 
measuring the degree of evil and to 
weighing out the amount of punishment 
that would expiate the crime. 

The associated doctrine of original sin 
held that a tendency to evil is born in 
each of us, inherited from Adam as a 
consequence of his sin in the Garden of 
Eden. And so John Robinson, an English 
Puritan divine, could say in the earh' 
1600's: "And surely there is in all chil-

dren, though not alike, a stubbornness, 
and stoutness of mind arising from na- 
tural pride, which must, in the first place, 
be broken and beaten down . . ."^ And in 
colonial America the criminal code of the 
Province of East Jersey, adopted in 1688, 
could decree that a child convicted of as- 
saulting or cursing his parents or of per- 
sistent disobedience or stubbornness 
should be hanged. 

As society grew more humane, the law 
relaxed the barbarity of its punishments 
but without altering its basic belief in the 
complete moral responsibility of the of- 
fender or in the need for punishment and 
expiation. Thus, when in the late 18th 
and early 19th centuries imprisonment 
largely replaced executions, tortures, and 
pillories, the old belief that the law 
breaker was inspired by moral perversity 
determined the nature of the new institu- 
tions. They became penitentiaries to "en- 
courage" the criminal to repent his wilful 
sins. In time, the law conceded that the 
insane could not be held morally respons- 
ible for their acts and exempted them, as 
it had long exempted children under sev- 
en, from the sanctions of the criminal 
code. Finally, less than a century ago 
came the first major challenge to the be- 
lief in wilful evil as the cause of crime 
that underlay the whole administration 
of criminal justice. New insight into hu- 
man behavior has continually reinforced 
the attack. As a result, new aims and pro- 
cedures such as probation, the juvenile 
court, and clinical diagnosis have been in- 
jected into the administration of criminal 
justice. 

Nevertheless, the ancient reliance on 
punishment remains dominant in the 
criminal code, in the machinery for its 
enforcement, and in the minds of many 
of its administrators. A section of the 
public cries frankly for punishment as re- 
venge, and men still talk of making a 
criminal pay his debt to society "in the 
coinage of punishment." However, the 
main prop behind the punitive system is 
the doctrine of deterrence. Punish a man 
and he will be afraid to sin again. Also 
the example of his suffering will keep 
others from breaking the law and des- 
troying the social order. In other words, 
fear and fear only keeps our lawless ten- 
dencies in line. 

Is this true ? What leads men to com- 
mit crimes ? \Vhat determines the way 
any man acts? Until we make up our 
minds on these points we can scarcely 
hope to bring reason and order into the 
administration of criminal justice or to 
do anything very effective to prevent de-

linquency. Until we answer these ques- 
tions we cannot avoid frittering away our 
energies on more earnest but largely fu- 
tile efforts to control delinquency and 
crime. The responsibility for gaining a 
deeper insight into human behavior can- 
not be left to specialists. Only as parents, 
teachers, and the citizenry share in the 
understanding of behavior and recognize 
their own major part in pushing children 
into rebellion, delinquency, crime, and 
neuroses can prevention reach its maxi- 
mum effectiveness. Only as police, judges, 
probation officers, and all the other agents 
of law enforcement discover the true na- 
ture of the human material with which 
they are dealing (and take a look at their 
own motives and desires) will correction 
move up from an accident to an art. 

Some Discredited Causes 

Since the middle of the last century, 
a good deal of scientific information on 
the factors that lead human being to act, 
each of us in our own particular way, has 
piled up to disprove the notion that an 
individual who breaks the law or commits 
a socially unacceptable act does so solely 
because of a wilful preference for evil. 
The by-no-means unique case history of 
the normal girl, secure in a well-balanced 
family relationship, who at 17 fell ill of 
encephalitis and ultimately got up from 
her sick bed a confirmed liar and thief 
demonstrates what a brain lesion can do 
to alter a behavior pattern. I here was 
nothing wilful about her change to anti- 
social behavior. 

The foregoing illustration serves 
merely to bring out sharply how factors 
quite outside the individual's control can 
lead him or her to commit crimes. It sug- 
gests a simple relationship between cause 
and effect which rarely holds true. \'et 
we still hear people, who should know 
better, eagerly fixing on one single factor 
or another to explain all the misbehavior 
of our age — broken homes, working 
mothers, lack of religious instruction, 
drinking, gangster films and radio pro- 
grams, the automobile, unemployment, 
poverty, slum housing, lack of play- 
grounds and clubs. Early in the century, 
many earnest people looked with sus- 
picion on cigarettes and dime novels. 

Science, itself, has had its many pe- 
riods of oversimplification. Eighty years 
ago, Cesare Lombroso, the man who per- 
formed the great service of directing at- 
tention from the crime to the criminal 
and thereby led the attack on the moral 
wilfulness theory, strove to prove that 
the criminal is a physical and mental 
throwback to primitive man, a kind of 
contemporary Neanderthaler. In recent 
years the Harvard anthropologist. Earn- 
est A. Hooton, has lent his efforts and 
pen to support this theory. It would be

interesting to have Professor Hooton 
measure the heads of the several million 
former members of Nazi S.S. and Brown 
Shirts to determine whether they differ 
perceptibly from the rest of the German 
population, or from the rest of us. 

For a time the more articulate investi- 
gators insisted that only feeble-minded 
people could become criminals and that 
the condition was inherited and ran in 
families, of which the Jukes and the Kal- 
likaks became the popular symbols. When 
studies of criminals in prisons proved that 
the majority possessed normal intelligence, 
and when other studies proved that per- 
haps not one half of true feeble-minded- 
ness is inherited, the theory crumbled. 
One fact of value remains from the in- 
vestigations, however. Feeble-minded peo- 
ple are easily led or influenced so that 
they respond readily to exposure to crimi- 
nal or vicious behavior. Consequently we 
can say that feeble-mindedness is one im- 
portant factor in some cases of delin- 
quency and crime. 

More recently, pioneering work with 
the glands of internal secretion — the thy- 
roid, pituitary, adrenal, thymus, and other 
glands — led some endocrinologists to 
claim that all criminal acts trace to ab- 
normal conditions of these glands. If a 
man stages a fake bankruptcy or commits 
a rape or murder — said this theory — it is 
because his glands fail to work properly. 
Perhaps, as we shall see later, glandular 
dysfunction, like heart disease or deafness 
or feeble-mindedness, may be one factor 
in the commission of crimes by some indi- 
viduals, but it is no more than that. 

To advance any single cause or ex- 
planation for all delinquency and crime is 
to repeat the error of our ancestors who 
clung to the moral-wilfulness theory. The 
explanation of a particular act of law 
breaking may be single and simple. Thus, 
sheer accident explains the death of a 
youth who is knocked down in a fair fight 
and chances to strike his head on a curb 
and die. The act of the young driver who 
for a reason not necessarily his fault hits 
a pedestrian and in panic drives away 
can also be attributed to chance. AVe have 
seen in the instance of the victim of ence- 
phalitis that the explanation of the crimi- 
nal behavior of a particular individual 
may also be single and, for practical pur- 
poses, simple. The injury to the brain 
cells may result from mishandling at 
birth or from a subsequent accident as 
well as from disease. Also there may be 
a defect in the brain organization in the 
same way that a child may be born with 
six fingers. 

The percentage of such unfortunate 
victims of brain pathology is small both 
in prisons and in the general population. 
The percentage of accidental offenders in 
prisons is far too large. Howe\ er, the ex-

planation of the behavior of the majority 
of convicts and of the great majority of 
criminals at large is not simple but lies 
deep-seated in the environment, human 
and material, and in the individual's re- 
action to it. In the complicated interac- 
tions that result in most delinquency and 
crime, it is misleading to speak of a single 
cause, such as broken homes or poverty 
or feeble-mindedness. These are at most 
contributing factors that affect behavior 
only in association with other factors. 
The hopeful fact lies in the achievement 
of science in identifying social conditions 
as the dominant factor in most delin- 
quency and crime. 

Changing Definitions of Crime 

To test the foregoing statement let us 
look not at the causes of unacceptable be- 
havior but at the acts themselves. What 
is crime? The obvious answer would 
seem to be, whatever the law says it is. 
If so, what of the blue laws in Delaware 
which make selling a newspaper or tak- 
ing an automobile ride on Sunday pun- 
ishable offenses? What of the law in one 
southern state that still provides the death 
penalty for a third successive failure to 
attend church on Sunday? What of pro- 
hibition ? 

Perhaps we should narrow the defini- 
tion of crime to specific acts like murder, 
rape, arson, and theft. Was it, then, a 
crime during the occupation for Polish, 
French, or Norwegian boys to stick 
knives in the backs of Germans, or to 
set fire to Nazi warehouses or to steal 
food and guns? Certainly in the not-so- 
distant days of the American frontier, 
neither the law nor public opinion con- 
sidered those pioneers to be criminal who 
acted in the belief that "the only good 
Indian is a dead Indian." The Japanese 
Samurai are reported to have held on, 
down to relatively modern times, to the 
feudal right of exercising their swords on 
the necks of peasants. William L. Shirer 
has reported a 1940 Berlin conversation 
with two young Nazis back from the oc- 
cupation of Poland in which they told 
him as a matter of course of using Polish 
citizens as they might tin cans for pistol 
practice. The most shocking element in 
the story was their complete unawareness 
of anything morally reprehensible in their 
actions. 

The point of these dissimilar illustra- 
tions is to bring out the fact that in none 
of the societies concerned were the acts 
considered crimes. Their members com- 
mitted these acts of violence not because 
their glands failed to function properly, 
or because individually they were biologi- 
cal throwbacks to primitive man, or be- 
cause they came from poverty stricken 
slums. Each was merely following the 
pattern of behavior set by his society.

These considerations lead us to several 
useful conclusions. First, to a practical 
definition as distinguished from a defini- 
tion based on morals : Crime is whatever 
the dominant elements of a particular so- 
ciety believe to be dangerous to the se- 
curity and solidarity of the society at any 
particular time. The crime conceptions 
of one society differ from those of an- 
other, and within a given society the con- 
ception changes. A society can be tragi- 
cally wrong in its definition of crime, as 
the executions for witchcraft in colonial 
New England demonstrate. And a change 
in conception can be wrong, as our experi- 
ment with prohibition bears witness. 

The Influence of a Lawless Society 

These changing definitions of crime 
seem to reduce to absurdity the idea that 
individuals are born "bad." It would ap- 
pear that none of us is born either "bad" 
or "good." Rather, each of us enters the 
world, as the Germans have recently 
demonstrated, capable alike of evil and 
of good. On which side our behavior falls 
is determined largely, though not wholly, 
by the ideas and behavior of the com- 
munity into which we are born. The law- 
lessness of American citizens largely re- 
flects the lawlessness of American society 
on which we touched in Chapter 1. Our 
efforts to reform bad individuals will 
prove vastly more successful when we re- 
form the badness of our social values and 
behavior — our worship of material suc- 
cess no matter how it is achieved ; our re- 
spect not for competence but for aggres- 
sive competition, not for good workman- 
ship or for cooperation, but for getting 
ahead of the other fellow ; the too com- 
mon effort of business and organized la- 
bor and the professions to get "some- 
thing for nothing" regardless of the rest 
of the community ; the violence of picket 
lines and goon squads ; the too frequent 
corruption of local government and law 
enforcement oificials ; aggressive intoler- 
ance of Mexican, Negro, Japanese, Jew- 
ish and other minorities. In the main our 
children and young people learn conduct 
not from what we say but from what we 
do. 

Let us see what these generalizations 
mean in terms of day-to-day behavior and 
example. In three articles in its issues of 
July, August, and September 1941, the 
Reader's Digest reported the results of a 
nationwide investigation of the business 
ethics of garages, radio repair shops, and 
watch repair shops. The investigations 
were made by a man and woman who 
spent three months in a tour of the na- 
tion. To test garages, they would discon- 
nect a coil wire so that it was "glaringly 
obvious" just before driving in. Out of 
347 garages in all 48 states, 129 spotted 
the wire at once, told the drivers, and

either charged nothing or a nominal sum. 
The rest, 63 per cent, "took the investi- 
gators for suckers and treated them ac- 
cordingly. . . . Three out of five garage 
men will overcharge, lie, insert unneces- 
sary work, or charge for work not done, 
for new parts not needed, for parts not 
installed." The investigators found that 
small towns and small garages were 
much more honest than cities and elabo- 
rate garages. 

To test the radio repair shops, the in- 
vestigators would loosen a tube or discon- 
nect a wire in a new radio. Says the re- 
port: "A repair man who didn't see them 
or speak up was taking the first step to- 
ward petty thievery." Out of 304 shops 
in 48 states, 109 spotted the obvious 
trouble, repaired it and either made no 
charge or a minor charge; 195 tried to 
take advantage of the customer. Summing 
up, the report said : "When the average 
American takes his radio set into a repair 
ship ... he will be cheated 64 out of every 
100 times by repair men who will sell 
him tubes, batteries, and service which his 
set doesn't need, or charge him for new 
parts they didn't put in. In some cases 
they will even remove good parts and add 
them to the supply on their shelves, sub- 
stituting inferior equipment." Again the 
big cities showed up worse than the small 
towns. 

The watchmakers made a slightly bet- 
ter showing than their fellow craftsmen. 
Out of 462 watch repair men in the 48 
states, 229 or 49 per cent "lied, over- 
charged, gave phoney diagnoses, or sug- 
gested expensive and unnecessary re- 
pairs." The test involved loosening the 
little screw that fastens the winding 
wheel. In all, 236 repair men or 51 per 
cent met the test by swiftly correcting 
the trouble and of these only 8 charged 
anything at all. 

It is perhaps no wonder that youths 
doing time in reform schools for the theft 
of a car, a burglary, or snatching a purse 
feel — as almost all of them do — that they 
are not worse but only less lucky than the 
unimprisoned citizens who sent them 
there. 

Dclinijuericy Areas 

However, the immediate interest of 
those dealing with recognized delinquents 
and criminals is not so much in the in- 
fluence on children exerted by lawlessness 
in the general cultural pattern as it is in 
the influence on children of the aggres- 
sively lawless patterns of certain areas 
and neighborhoods. Ideas, customs, and 
habits of conduct are never universal, not 
even the dominant ones. Islands of differ- 
ential behavior exist in different sections 
of the country and within cities and re- 
gions. Some variant behavior may be as 
innocent as the Texans' fondness for ten-

gallon hats. But other variant behavior 
constitutes a direct attack on the social 
order. Neighborhoods marked by such 
beha\ior manufacture delinquents and 
criminals. They may have up to 25 per 
cent of their boys aged 10 to 17 arrested 
for delinquency every year. Just what 
this means appears by comparison with 
more favored home neighborhoods in 
which the proportion of annual arrests 
and referrals to the juvenile court shades 
down to less than one per cent of all resi- 
dent boys." 

These ''delinquency areas," as Clififord 
Shaw calls them, are the readily recogniz- 
able slums and blighted areas of our cities. 
Bad housing identifies them. Bad in that 
it is run down, unpainted, dirty, hidden 
from the sun, infected with rats and ver- 
min, equipped with hall toilets or even 
outdoor privies that have to be shared 
with many families. Bad in that it is over- 
crowded, with children and adults of 
both sexes sleeping in the same rooms, 
denying to all any privacy of person or 
possessions or emotions. Bad in that it 
provides children no space to play and 
drives them into the streets, alle\s, cellars 
and vacant houses. Bad in that ware- 
houses, freight yards, traffic encroach on 
the dwellings. In these areas the city finds 
it easy to neglect the schools, health serv- 
ices, pavements, garbage collection, and 
other public services. Almost always tub- 
erculosis rates far exceed those in more 
favored neighborhoods. 

As soon as any family can afford to, 
it generally escapes from the slum and 
blighted area, leaving it to the poverty 
stricken and demoralized, to the new im- 
migrants from Europe and Latin Amer- 
ica and from the rural South. The mixed 
population with its high mobility rarely 
acquires the sense of community of the 
typical neighborhood. The lack of social 
standards in\ites the shadv rooming house 
and tavern, the professional crook and 
the gangster. These latter, as the symbols 
of success and power, are likelv to be the 
"leading citizens" of the neighborhood 
and to become the heroes of impression- 
able youngsters. From the statement of a 
delinauent bov in Chicago, Shaw quotes 
the following illuminating comment: 

Every bov has some ideal he looks up 
to and admires. His ideal may be Babe 
Ruth, Jack Dempsev, Al Canone, or some 
other crook. His ideal is what he wants 
to be like when he grows up and becomes 
a man. AVhen T was twelve years old we 
moved into a neighborhood where there 
lived a mob of gangsters and big crooks. 



"These fieures mav show a prrpater difference in de 
litiquent behavior between different neiphborbood? 
than the facts i"stifv. Children nf well-to-do citizens 
commit many offenses inelndioj; ^erio.ts ones tb^n do 
not api)ear in the statistics because police turn the 
children over to tbeir parents rather than to the 
court.

They were all swell dressers and had big 
cars and carried 'gats.' Us kids saw those 
swell guys and mingled with them in the 
cigar store on the corner. Jack Gurney 
was the one in the mob that I had a fancy 
to. He used to take my sis out and that 
was how I saw him often. He was in 
the stick-up racket before he was in the 
beer racket and was a swell dresser and 
had lots of dough. He was a nervy guy 
and went in for big stuf¥. He was a mys- 
terious fellow and would disappear some- 
times for several days but always came 
back. He was looked up to as the leader 
of his mob and anybody would gladly be 
in his place.' 

Delinquency the Key to Respect 

In such areas delinquency and crime 
may become a social tradition, passed on 
from boy to boy, from group to group, 
and from generation to generation just 
as naturally as the practice of church at- 
tendance and playing baseball are passed 
on in other neighborhoods. In the gang, 
the natural form of boyhood association, 
one generation of boys after another 
learns to shoplift, to pilfer from railroads 
and old buildings, to raid stores and 
trucks, to roll drunks, and to carry on 
deadly gang wars. Another of Shaw's 
youthful informants gives a vivid picture 
of how and why delinquency starts and 
evolves : 

When we were shoplifting we always 
made a game of it. For example, we 
might gamble on who could steal the 
most caps in a day or who could steal in 
the presence of a detective and then get 
away. We were always daring each other 
that way and thinking up new schemes. 
This was the best part of the game. I 
would go into a store to steal a cap by 
trying on one, and when the clerk was 
not watching walk out of the store, leav- 
ing the old cap. With the new cap on my 
head I would go into another store, do 
the same thing as in the other store, get- 
ting a new hat and leave the one I had 
taken from the other place. I might do 
this all day and have one hat at night. It 
was fun I wanted, not the hat. I kept this 
up for months and then began to sell the 
things to a man on the west side. It was 
at this time that I began to steal for gain.'' 

Do so many children in blighted areas 
imitate these delinquent activities because 
they are "moral imbeciles" ? The evidence 
indicates that they do it for the same rea- 
sons that boys in more fortunate com- 
munities imitate the acceptable behavior 
of such communities — to gain recogni- 
tion, approval, companionship, and ex- 
citement. Tn delinquent areas a boy wins
