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.

POLICE  AND  PEACE  OFFICERS'  JOURNAL 

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.

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  ' 
off  each  year  to  .".om;  distant  £r>o:  and 
a  bit  of  h'uiting  f,o  this  year  't  h~?.

and  the  finding,  was  perfect.  Well  '^•w

.=;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!!!

EXAMINATION  QUESTIONS 


In  the  last  issue  of  this  Journal  the 
following  numbered  statements,  on  the 
subject  Penal  Code,  were  true:  1,  2,  3, 
7,  8,9,  13,  14,  17,  18,22,23,25,27,28, 
29,  30,  35,  36,  39,  40,  41,  42,  46,  49. 

1.  Every  executive  or  ministerial  offi- 
cer, employee  or  appointee  of  the  State 
of  California,  county  or  city  therein  or 
political  subdivision  thereof,  who  know- 
ingly asks,  receives  or  agrees  to  receive 
any  emolument,  gratuity  or  reward,  or 
any  promise  thereof  for  doing  an  official 
act  is  guilty  of  a  felony. 

2.  Extortion  is  a  felony. 

3.  The  value  of  the  bribe  offered  to 
any  ministerial  officer,  employee  or  ap- 
pointee of  the  State  of  California,  county 
or  city  therein  or  political  subdivision 
thereof,  retermines  the  gravity  of  the 
crime  to  be  charged. 

4.  The  rule  of  the  Common  Law,  that 
penal  statutes  are  to  be  strictly  construed, 
has  no  application  to  this  code.  All  the 
provisions  are  to  be  construed  according 
to  the  fair  import  of  their  terms,  with  a 
view  to  effect  its  objects  and  to  promote 
justice. 

5.  \Vhenever  any  person  is  declared 
punishable  for  a  crime  by  imprisonment 
in  the  state  prison  for  a  term  not  less 
than  any  specified  number  of  years,  and 
no  limit  to  the  duration  of  such  imprison- 
ment is  declared,  the  court  authorized  to 
pronounce  judgment  upon  such  convic- 
tion may,  in  its  discretion,  sentence  such 
offender  to  imprisonment  during  his 
natural  life. 

6.  No  person  can  be  piuiished  for  a 
public  offense,  except  upon  a  legal  con- 
viction, in  a  court  having  jurisdiction 
thereof. 

7.  Not  all  public  offenses  must  be 
prosecuted  by  indictment  or  information. 

8. The  parties  in  criminal  actions  are 
the  defendant  and  the  people  of  the  state 
of  California,  as  a  party. 

9.  No  part  of  the  Penal  Code  is  retro- 
active. 

10.  Justices  of  the  peace  are  not  magis- 
trates, as  set  forth  in  the  Penal  Code 
definition. 

11.  The  counsel  for  the  people  may 
make  comments  on  the  failure  of  the  de- 
fendant to  explain  or  to  deny  by  his  testi- 
mony any  evidence  or  facts  in  the  case 
against  him. 

12.  A  husband  convicted  of  wilfully 
abandoning  and  leaving  his  wife  in  a  des- 
titute condition  is  punishable  in  the  state 


prison  for  a  period  of  two  years  and  a 
fine  of  $1000.00. 

13.  Common  barratry  is  the  practice 
of  advertising  the  procurement  of  divorce 
or  the  securement  of  alimony. 

14.  If  two  or  more  persons  conspire  to 
commit  any  crime  thev  are  punishable 
by  a  fine  of  $5000.00. 

15.  Unlawful  killing,  with  malice 
aforethought,  is  murder. 

16.  A  statement  of  that  which  one  does 
not  to  be  true  is  equivalent  to  a  state- 
ment of  that  which  one  knows  to  be  false. 

17.  Every  juror,  or  person  drawn  or 
summoned  as  a  juror,  who  makes  any 
promise  or  agreement  to  give  a  verdict  or 
decision  for  or  against  any  party  is  liable

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 
Marysville  in  1915  when  he  was  a  con- 
crete inspector  on  the  construction  of  the

CHECK  BRAKES 

Check  your  brakes  before  it's  too  late, 
advises  the  National  Automobile  Club. 


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.

HOME  MADE  BREAD 

Until  commercial  bakeries  were  estab- 
lished, points  out  the  National  Automo- 
bile Club,  quantities  of  home  made  bread 
were  offered  for  sale  in  the  open  air  mar- 
kets of  Santa  Fe  and  other  New  Mexico 
towns. 

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. 


USE  DISTILLED  WATER 

Use  only  distilled  water  in  the  battery, 
advises  the  National  Automobile  Club. 
Regardless  of  how  pure  it  may  be  no 
other  water  is  pure  enough  for  such  use.

Ladron  Peak,  located  south  of  Sabinal 
in  south-central  New  Mexico,  is  reported 
b\'  the  National  Automobile  Club  to  ha\e

long  before  the  advent  of  American 
rustlers.

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

7.  To  carry  out  the  Municipal  Code 
mandates,  in  regard  to  the  operation  of 
the  Police  Pistol  Range,  the  Chief  of 
Police,  with  the  approval  of  the  Police

8.  The  Chief  of  Police  shall  procure

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.

Mr.  Herb  Breuer  of  the  Federal  State 
Market  News  Service  told  of  the  history 
of  the  Market  News  Service  and  explain- 
ed its  operation.  He  then  gave  a  very 
complete  picture  of  the  proposed  micro- 
wave system.  A  general  discussion  fol- 
lowed. 

On  a  motion  by  Lewis,  seconded  by 
Burton,  the  Association  went  on  record 
as  concurring  with  the  comment  of  Na- 
tional APCO  on  Docket  10777. 

Membership  application  of  Willard 
W.  Wehe  of  Alameda  County  was  ap- 
proved as  an  active  member  on  a  motion 
by  Keller,  seconded  by  Hudson. 

Nominations  for  all  officers  were  again 
opeijed  and  subsequently  closed  when  no 
further  nominations  were  offered.  As 
there  was  no  contest,  on  a  motion  by 
Mayr,  seconded  by  Hudson,  the  Secre- 
tary was  instructed  to  cast  a  unanimous 
vote   for  all   officers. 

Bill  Whiting  then  installed  fhe  incom- 
ing officers:  Art  McDole,  President 
Tom  Bayley,  Vice-President  and  John 
Atkinson,  Secretary-Treas.  The  Board 
of  Directors  elected  were:  Lewis,  May- 
bee,  Leboeuf,  Keller  and  Freeman. 

National  President  McMurphy  gave 
a  brief  discusion  on  his  plans  for  the  com- 
ing year. 

Commercial  members  reports  were 
called  for. 

The  February  11th  meeting  will  be 
held  in  Santa  Clara  County. 

As  there  was  no  further  business  the 
meeting  was  adjourned  at  3:30  p.m.

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.

Loose,  dirty  or  corroded  connections 
anywhere  in  the  ignition  system  of  your 
car  can  mean  a  loss  of  power  and  good 
performance,  reminds  the  California 
State  Automobile  Association.  If  your 
car  is  sluggish  or  is  using  more  gas  than 
it  once  did,  have  the  electrical  connec- 
tions checked  first.

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.

NEVADA  CITY  CALIFORNIA 


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

to   appro.ximate   the   accomplishments  of 
the  cave  man. 

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-

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 
protested.  "The  blacksmith  wasn't  play- 
ing with  him,  was  he?  What  started  the 
shooting  anyway?" 

"No,  the  blacksmith  didn't  play  with 
him,"  Sam  replied.  "The  fellow  went 
crazy,  that's  all.  Just  clean,  plumb  crazy. 
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. 


COMPLIMENTS  OF 

KARL'S  MEAT  CO. 


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

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.

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?

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 
information  would  like  to  obtain.  —  The 
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- 
cate and  involved  process  that  loses  its 
meaning  when  separated  into  its  various 
parts  and  examined  by  segmentation.  1  he 
sequence  of  chapters  in  this  book  attempts 
to  present  in  chronological  pattern  the 
various  parts  of  the  machinery  as  the  of- 
fender is  a  part  of  or  in  contact  with  each 
part." 


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. 


B.  C.  Bridhes 

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-

ASSOCIATED  PUBLIC  COMMUNICATIONS  OFFICERS 


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- 
top  championships  around  these  parts.  He 
won  the  San  Francisco  pistol  range  cham-

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 


Doc  Paynton 

pionism  to  heart  as  he  went  all  out  in  pis- 
tol shooting  last  year  and  copped  the  two 
pionship  and  then  conies  back  to  win  the 


Gloria   Nortox 

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. 


Fhe  rest  of  the  information  is  long  and 
too  much  to  set  down  here  at  this  time  so 
will  give  you  the  scores  for  these  shooters 
who  finished  first  in  each  class.  Remem-

STANISLAUS  PEACE  OFFICERS 


Three  of  California's  finest  peace  offi- 
cers defend  and  enforce  the  law  in  Stan- 
islaus County. 

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. 


the  narcotics  bureau  and  the  Federal 
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.

Recently,  with  an  eye  toward  improv- 
ing the  technical  knowledge  of  his  de-

The  program  covers  narcotics  control, 
the  laws  of  arrest,  police  procedure,  de- 
fensive tactics  and  traffic  accident  inves- 
tigation. 

Cooperating  agencies  included  the  of-

training  program,  police  agencies  can 
raise  their  standard  of  service  to  the  pub- 
lic," Neel  stated.  "The  training  program 
is  part  of  a  long  range  program  to  im- 
prove our  service,"  the  chief  concluded. 

The  program  started  with  a  lecture

that  Clarence  Simpson  did  not  stumble

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.

it  here  and  went  for  a  tow." 

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 
by  loam  flung  from  the  wheels.    For  a 


"Leonard,"  Teekle  asked,  "do  you 
know  who  it  is?" 

"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?" 

"That's  right,  the  sheriff,"  Teekle  re- 
peated dully.  "Look  at  his  head.  What 
could  this  be  except  murder?"  The  pair

view,  but  one  of  them,  C.  M.  Teekl"", 
noticed  the  strange  position  of  th"  car. 

"Funny  place  to  leave  a  car,"  he  re- 
marked to  his  companion,  Leonard

The  d"ad  man  was  lying  on  his  back 
on  the  right  side  of  the  coupe,  his  out- 
stretched left  hand  almost  touching  the 
right  rear  wheel.  His  right  arm  was 
crumpled  beneath  him  in  a  grotesque  po-

thickly  behind  his  head  and  his  flaxen

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

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."

Latta  is  a  native  of  Tulare,  but  his 
families  owned  a  summer  home  in  Capi-

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.

SAFETY  AT  HOME 

Is  your  home  really  "safe"  ? 

One  of  the  easiest — and  most  economi- 
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.

EXTRA  CAUTION 

Visibility  is  very  poor  during  early 
evening  hours,  points  out  the  National

ing the  street  at  that  time. 


GOOD  TEAMWORK 

Signals  clearly  given  and  understood 
make  for  good  teamwork  both  on  the 
gridiron  and  on  the  highway,  points  out 
the  National  Automobile  Club.  You  can 
help  rechice  our  tragic  traffic  accident  toll 
by  making  your  arm  signals  clearly  and 
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. 

Traffic  Courts — Their  Place  in  Traf- 
fic Safety.

How  an  Accident  Happens. 

Successes  in  the  Coordinated  Attack  on 
the  Traffic  Problem. 

Philosophy  of  Traffic  Law  Enforce- 
ment. 

Insurance  and  Civil  Liability  in  Auto- 
mobile Accidents. 

New  Developments  in  School  Traffic 
Safety  Problems.

Programs. 

Highway  1  ransportation  System-Ex- 
tent and  Problems. 

Preventing  Accidents  Through  Vehi- 
cle  Maintenance  and   Inspection. 

Developments  in  Accident  Investiga- 
tion and  Reporting. 

Role  of  Public  Iiiforniatioii  in  Acci- 
dent Pre\ention. 

Support  Agencies  in  the  Highwav 
Transportation  System.

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, 
and  3,685  were  busses. 


CALL  PATROL  OFFICE 

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)

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,

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.

SQUEAK  RELIEVER 

\  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.

oners.  Its  use  has  expanded  to  searching 
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.

SAFETY  DIVIDENDS 


Accident  prevention  programs  paid  ad- 
ditional dividends  for  15  San  Francisco 
truck  fleets  and  13  industrial  or  business 
firms,  when  they  were  presented  \vinning

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

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 


if  not  all,  of  the  fast  breeding  creatures. 
There  were  so  many  of  them  that  they 
endangered  light  aircraft  during  takeofis 
and  landings. 

It  was  about  8  o'clock  on  a  cloudy 
March  morning  when  Hicks  and  30  of 
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

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

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

Another  of  the  more  prominent  per-

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-

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

Cardoza,  Thomas  Kinney,  Keith  Mel-

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- 
flatc  automobile  tires?  All  engineers  ac- 
cording to  the  National  Automobile 
Club,  are  emphatic  on  the  point:  over- 
inflation  is  much  to  be  preferred.

OLD  TOWN -NEW  FACES 


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 


Charles  Crooke  for  the  High  School, 
have  been  fixtures  in  the  community  for 
many  years. 

Slater  has  the  longer  term  of  service, 
however,  and  he  was  born  in  Mountain 
View.  He  has  been  head  of  the  elemen- 
tary schools  for  more  than  35  years.  He 
was    graduated    from    Mountain   View 


MOUNTAIN  VIEW  POLICE  DEPARTMENT 

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.

He  is  president  of  the  chamber  of 
commerce,  first  vice  president  of  the 
Lions  Club  and  treasurer — his  bank  ex- 
perience comes  in  handy — of  the  Youth 
Center,  Inc. 

The  Hunters,  who  have  three  chil- 
dren, live  at  20460  Williams  Ave. 

Getting  more  buildings  to  accommo- 
date the  area's  growing  elementary 
school  population  is  the  task  of  Saratoga 
Elementary  School  District  Superintend- 
ent Dan  Ungaro,  and  his  school  trustees. 
The  district  now  has  two  schools — Sara- 
toga Elementarjf,  which  Ungaro  has  ad- 
ministered as  principal  since  1946,  and 
Fruitvale  School  which  opened  this  Fall. 

He  was  appointed  superintendent  in 
1952.  His  first  teaching  job  was  in  Rose- 
ville,  Calif. 

He  and  his  wife  and  baby  daughter, 
Michele,  live  on  Thelma  Ave. 

Mrs.  Virgil  Campbell  and  her  hus- 
band have  two  teen-age  sons.  Perhaps 
that  is  why  they  are  both  working  indus- 
triously to  perfect  the  expansion  and 
growth  of  Los  Gatos  Union  High 
School.  Mrs.  Campbell  is  president  of 
the  high  school  PHT.  Mr.  Campbell  is 
clerk  of  the  high  school  board  of  trustees. 
Mrs.  Campbell,  a  graduate  of  San 
Jose  State,  serves  as  secretary  of  the  Sar- 
atoga Youth  Center,  Inc. 

The  Campbells  have  lived  here  since 
1935.  Mr.  Campbell  is  a  grocer.  The 
family  resides  at  14482  Oak  Place.

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 
Foster  Hall,  WRU's  new  men's  dormi- 
tory, for  $15  for  the  entire  week  of  the 
workshop.  Hotel  and  motel  facilities  also 
are  located  in  the  university  area. 

This  June's  police  science  workshop  is 
planned  as  part  of  the  three-fold  pro- 
gram of  teaching,  research  and  publica- 
tion under  way  at  the  Law-Medicine 
Center.  Two  18-week  legal  medicine 
courses  have  been  given  on  an  experi- 
mental basis,  before  the  Center  actually 
was  established  Feb.  1,  1954.  Pilot  re- 
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.

(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 
Holiday  dying,  advises  the  National 
Automobile  Club.  If  you've  been  drink- 
ing, lion't  drive.

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.

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 
and  having  regard  to  the  actual  and  po- 
tential hazards  then  existing.  In  every 
event  speed  shall  be  so  controlled  as  mav 
be  necessarv  to  avoid  colliding  with  an\' 
person,  vehicle,  or  other  conveyance  on  or 
entering  the  highway  in  compliance  with 
legal  requirements  and  the  duty  of  all 
persons  to  use  due  care. 

"(b)  AVhere  no  special  hazard  exists

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

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. 


Last  year's  traflfic  toll  of  deaths  and 
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-

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-

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-

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.

Moaning  Cave,  located  seven  miles

County,  is  reported  by  the  National 
Automobile  Club  to  have  been  named  for 
the  weird  moaning  sound  made  by  the

discovered  by  a  gold-prospecting  French- 
man in  1853.

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

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

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

honor  by  showing  bravery  in  committing 
daring  crimes,  by  refusing  to  betray  his 
pals  to  the  police,  by  a  long  record  of  ar- 
rests and  court  appearances,  by  doing  time 
in  an  institution.  In  areas  of  bad  racial 
friction  and  gang  wars,  knifing  a  member 
of  the  rival  gang  is  no  crime  in  the  eyes 
of  the  group.  It  may  be  a  condition  of  sur- 
vival as  it  certainly  is  the  key  to  the  re- 
spect of  the  boy's  pals  that  he  so  badly 
wants. 

The  blighted  area  with  its  destructive 
behavior  patterns  is  by  no  means  confined 
to  the  city.  It  often  sprawls  across  the 
tracks  into  the  unincorporated  sections 
and  occurs  in  small  towns  and  rural  re- 
gions from  coast  to  coast.  Filth  and  over- 
crowding reach  their  peak  in  some  of  the 
camps  provided  for  migrant  and  rural 
workers.  The  majority  of  commitments 
to  reform  schools  and  prisons  come  from 
delinquent  areas  of  one  kind  or  another, 
urban,  suburban,  and  rural. 

The  Major  Role  of  the 
Delinquency  Area 

Shaw  and  his  associates  have  some 
rather  striking  statistical  proof  that  the 
bad  behavior  example  set  by  delinquency 
areas  and  the  unsatisfactory  human  rela- 
tionships found  in  them  exercise  the  deci- 
sive causative  influence  in  the  delinquency 
and  crime  of  the  majority  of  those  chil- 
dren and  adults  who  come  to  the  atten- 
tion of  the  law.  Studying  the  home  ad- 
dresses of  all  known  juvenile  delinquents 
and  adult  offenders  in  Chicago  from  1899 
to  1933  (studies  later  extended  through 
1940),  the  investigators  found  that  the 
so-called  delinquency  areas  maintained 
their  disproportionately  high  percentages 
of  delinquents  and  criminals  continuously 
over  the  entire  period.  This  was  true  even 
though  the  population  of  some  of  the  de- 
linquency areas  changed  during  the  four 
decades  from  predominantly  German, 
Irish,  English  and  French  immigrants  to 
Scandinavian,  then  to  Polish,  and  finally 
to  Italian.  The  children  of  all  nationality 
groups  shoii'ed  the  same  high  rate  of  ar- 
rest so  long  as  they  lii'ed  in  the  area.  As 
soon  as  each  nationality  group  prospered 
and  moved  to  more  desirable  neighbor- 
hoods, the  delinquency  rate  of  their  chil- 
dren fell  oH  sharply  to  the  level  of  that 
characteristic  of  the  better  neighbor- 
hoods.' 

This  is  \ital  information.  It  means 
that  the  majority  of  children  and  youths 
who  break  the  laws  when  subjected  to  the 
social  conditions  and  human  relationships 
of  blighted  areas  would  be  law-abiding 
under  other  conditions.  It  stamps  tradi- 
tional delinquency  and  crime  as  mainly  a 
neighborhood  phenomenon.  It  puts  major

responsibility  for  delinquency  and  crime 
squarely  on  society  and  furnishes  indis- 
pensable guidance  for  prevention,  with 
which  we  deal  in  the  second  half  of  this 
book. 

The  Need  for  Deeper  Insight 

However,  in  this  search  for  a  useful 
insight  into  socially  unacceptable  conduct 
we  need  constantly  to  avoid  the  trap  of 
oversimplification.  We  know  that  de- 
structive neighborhood  influences  lead 
many  children  into  conduct  that  society 
disapproves.  But  do  we  know  how  that 
influence  is  exerted,  or  why  it  affects  one 
child  and  not  another?  In  spite  of  the 
high  percentage  of  problem  children  pro- 
duced by  delinquency  areas,  the  majority 
of  boys  and  girls  brought  up  in  them 
avoid  seriously  unacceptable  conduct. 
They  do  not  get  into  trouble  with  the  law 
and  some  of  them  rise  to  the  top  rank  of 
useful  citizens.  ^Vhy?  One  obvious  ex- 
planation lies  in  one  direction.  Against 
the  corrupting  forces  of  the  street  and 
the  gang  there  may  stand  the  constructive 
force  of  an  affectionate,  understanding, 
and  law-abiding  family  which  can  be  the 
strongest  barrier  against  delinquency. 
Nevertheless,  these  explanations  do  not 
go  deep  enough.  They  do  not  help  us  to 
understand,  for  instance,  how  the  min- 
ister's son  brought  up  in  a  good  neighbor- 
hood sometimes  breaks  out  into  socialh 
unacceptable  behavior.  They  throw  no 
light  on  why,  of  a  pair  of  twins  brought 
up  under  apparently  the  same  conditions, 
one  becomes  a  truant,  bully,  and  thief 
while  the  other  grows  up  in  the  same  en- 
vironment to  be  cooperative  and  law- 
abiding. 

For  a  deeper  insight  into  delinquent 
behavior  we  need  to  know :  ( 1 )  some- 
thing of  the  changing  nature  of  human 
personality  and  what  "growing  up" 
means  and  involves;  (2)  something  of 
the  basic  needs  and  goals  common  to  all 
human  beings  ;  and  ( 3 )  something  of  the 
differences  that  distinguish  every  human 
being  from  every  other. 

Humility  is  the  only  proper  attire  in 
which  to  approach  the  dark  continents  of 
the  human  mind.  Substantial  areas  re- 
main unknown  or  disputed.  Nevertheless 
out  of  all  the  theories  and  investigations 
of  many  different  sciences,  out  of  many 
practical  experiments  in  handling  offend- 
ers, and  out  of  recent  world  history  there 
have  emerged  enough  conclusions  to  show 
the  way  to  more  effective  control  of  be- 
havior. 

USE  HORN  SPARINGLY 

Use  your  automobile  horn  sparingly, 
advises  the  National  Automobile  Chib. 
To  roll  down  the  road  blowing  your  horn 
at  anything  and  everything  that  comes 
near  you  is  just  bad  driving  manners.

RECOGNIZING  MURDER 

From  the  book  THE  DEThCTION  OF  MURDER, 
by  \V.  F.  Kessler,  M.  D.  and  Paul  B.  Weston,  copy- 
right, 1953,  by  Greenbcrg,  publisher. 

Nowhere  in  the  world  is  the  investiga- 
tion of  unexplained  or  unexpected  death 
so  casual  and  haphazard  as  it  is  in  the 
United  States.  Of  the  close  to  300,000 
deaths  in  the  United  States  each  year 
from  suspicious  or  violent  causes,  only  a 
little  more  than  10,000  are  officially  rec- 
ognized as  murders. 
Murder  Doesn't  Ahvays  "Out" 

When  a  murder  is  discovered  and  the 
killer  arrested,  the  usual  response  of  the 
general  public  is,  "^Vhat  a  stupid  man." 
And  what  they  think  is  true — only  the 
"stupid"  murderers  are  caught.  Those 
who  escape  punishment  for  committing 
murder  successfully  conceal  their  crimes 
by  simulating  suicide,  accidental  injury, 
or  natural  death. 

Literally,  thousands  of  people  each  year 
are  getting  away  with  murder. 

One  "almost  perfect"  murder  case  in 
Baltimore  highlighted  this  fact.  George 
Edward  Grammer  was  tried  for  the  mur- 
der of  his  wife  after  what  looked  at  first 
glance  like  an  accident  and,  but  for  cir- 
cumstances which  could  not  have  been 
foreseen  by  the  murderer,  would  have 
been  classified  as  an  accidental  death. 

Grammer  was  charged  with  beating  his 
wife  to  death  in  their  automobile,  then 
placing  a  pebble  under  the  accelerator  and 
sending  the  car  rolling  down  a  hil!  to 
make  it  appear  that  she  was  killed  in  an 
ordinary  traffic  accident.  It  was  con- 
tended that  he  expected  the  smash-up  to 
conceal  the  injuries  inflicted  during  the 
beating  and  to  dislodge  the  pebble  under 
the  accelerator.  It  was  pointed  out  that 
the  police  would  find  only  a  woman  fa- 
tally injured  in  the  debris  of  a  wrecked 
car.  Who  would  suspect  the  death  wea- 
pon to  be  other  than  the  automobile  ? 
Who  would  notice  a  small  pebble  on  the 
floor  of  an  ordinary  wreck  ? 

However,  the  Grammer  car  was  not 
wrecked  completely  and  two  police  offi- 
cers happened  to  be  eye-witnesses  to  its 
flight  down  the  hill  with  the  inert  pas- 
senger at  the  wheel.  Only  chance  resulted 
in  the  discovery  of  murder. 

Another  example  of  the  fact  that  mur- 
der sometimes  doesn't  out  for  quite  some 
time,  if  at  all,  is  a  New  York  City  case. 
Edward  Doyle  had  murdered  a  man, 
married,  and  fathered  two  children  be- 
fore his  conscience  bothered  him  and  he 
revealed  the  killing  to  the  police. 

The  dead  man  had  been  found  at  the 
foot  of  a  basement  stairway  on  November 
1,  1945.  His  head  was  crushed,  but  he 
had  not  been  robbed.  Death  due  to  "acci- 
dental fall"  was  listed  on  the  records. 

Six  years  later,  on  January,  13,  1951, 
Edward  Doyle  walked  into  a  police  sta- 
tion and  told  them  about  the  murder:  "It

was  in  October  or  November  in  1945,  in 
a  bar  and  grill  on  Broadway  and  Kosci- 
usko Street."  He  unfolded  a  story  of  a 
spell  of  drinking,  of  getting  into  conver- 
sation with  a  soldier,  and  of  an  argument 
over  some  kind  of  a  bet.  "So  we  went  out- 
side," Doyle  continued,  "walked  a  block 
and  a  half,  passed  this  building,  and  I 
noticed  the  basement  stairway.  I  pushed 
him  down  and  left.  I  read  the  next  morn- 
ing about  a  soldier  who  was  found  dead 
and  that  his  name  was  Hugh  Kelly." 

Every  now  and  then  the  facts  of  a  mur- 
der rear  out  of  the  mass  of  unexplained 
and  unexpected  deaths.  Many  of  these  are 
classified  as  suicide,  accident,  or  natural 
death. 
Similarity  of  Death  Alechanisins 

In  one  of  the  following  chapters,  it 
will  be  shown  that  the  techniques  of  mur- 
der are  startingly  similar  to  those  of  sui- 
cide and  accidental  death  in  numerous  in- 
stances. People  use  illuminating  gas  to 
commit  suicide,  others  have  used  it  to 
kill ;  people  shoot  themselves,  and  many 
murderers  have  used  firearms  as  murder 
devices;  and  people  jump  from  great 
heights,  while  others  may  be  pushed. 
Many  accidental  deaths  have  occurred 
from  faulty  gas  fixtures,  firearms,  or  fall- 
ing from  a  height. 

Two  recent  cases  illustrate  the  diffi- 
culty of  determining  the  agency  of  death. 

In  Milwaukee  a  despondent  housewife 
crawled  inside  an  oil  furnace,  let  the  door 
swing  shut,  then  used  a  homemade  device 
to  trip  the  controls  and  cremate  herself, 
Van  Hecke,  county  medical  officer,  stated 
police  informed  the  local  press.  Dr.  L.  J. 
that  he'd  been  informed  that  the  woman 
had  suffered  mental  disturbances  re- 
cently, but  said  there  was  still  a  possi- 
bility that  she  was  the  victim  of  gruesome 
murder. 

Police  found  a  length  of  cord  and  rub- 
ber band  tied  together  and  dangling  from 
the  oil-burner  switch.  They  reasoned  that 
the  dead  woman  had  attached  the  cord 
to  the  switch  and  then  crawled  into  the 
cold  furnace.  After  crawling  into  the  fire 
box  she  then  tugged  on  the  string  to  the 
switch,  igniting  the  furnace. 

This  was  a  difficult  case  to  resolve  in 
view  of  the  unusual  mechanism  of  death. 
Women  usually  seek  the  less  violent 
means  of  death  when  they  commit  suicide. 
Most  of  them  even  rebel  at  shooting,  pre- 
ferring gas  or  sleeping  pills.  The  furnace 
was  an  unusual  suicide  device.  It  would 
be  expected  that  a  murderer  would  resort 
to  such  a  mechanism. 

The  second  case  concerned  the  death 
of  Mrs.  Jeanne  Brown,  a  woman  of 
about  30,  married  and  living  with  her 
husband  in  New  York.  This  dark-haired, 
pretty  woman  was  found  dead  in  an  ex- 
pensively furnished  apartment  by  her 
aunt    and    the   building   superintendent.

Her  jugular  vein  was  cut.  The  body,  clad 
only  in  a  housecoat,  was  in  a  sitting  posi- 
tion on  the  floor,  propped  against  the  bed. 
A  number  of  empty  beer  bottles  and  one 
empty  whiskey  bottle  were  in  the  room 
and  a  beer  can  opener  was  found  on  the 
floor  near  the  body. 

She  had  been  dead  about  12  hours 
when  discovered  and  was  last  seen  alive 
by  the  superintendent  when  he  noticed 
her  sitting  at  the  window  of  her  apart- 
ment. He  had  entered  her  apartment  with 
a  pass  key  at  the  insistence  of  the  dead 
woman's  aunt  who  was  worried  because 
of  Mrs.  Brown's  failure  to  answer  the 
telephone  or  her  repeated  knockings  upon 
the  door  of  the  apartment. 

Police  found  no  signs  of  struggle. 
They  learned  that  the  husband  was  work- 
ing as  a  Chief  Engineer  on  a  ship  sailing 
the  Persian  Gulf  at  the  time  of  the  kill- 
ing, and  that  the  victim  had  been  treated 
for  alcoholism  about  sixty  days  prior  to 
her  death.  They  also  noted  that  the  tele- 
phone wires  had  been  ripped  down  from 
the  wall.  Further  investigation  revealed 
that  Mrs.  Brown  had  been  married 
eighteen  months  and  had  lived  very 
quietly,  never  having  any  male  visitors 
while  her  husband  was  away. 

The  police,  the  office  of  the  District 
Attorney,  and  the  Medical  Examiner  did 
not  see  eye  to  eye.  The  Assistant  Medical 
Examiner  was  quoted  as  terming  it  a 
"definite  homicide,"  later  as  a  "possible 
homicide."  Police,  said  the  District  At- 
torney's investigators,  pointed  out  that 
there  were  no  signs  of  a  struggle  or  any 
other  evidence  to  point  to  the  presence  of 
another  person  in  the  apartment  at  the 
time  of  death.  They  said  that  the  woman 
had  been  known  to  rip  telephone  wires 
from  the  wall  previously. 

As  reconstructed  by  police,  the  death 
occurred  after  some  drinking.  Mrs. 
Brown  apparently  had  the  beer  can  op- 
ener in  her  hand  when  she  ripped  out  the 
wires.  A\'hen  the  wires  were  pulled  out 
her  arm  swung  around,  and  the  opener 
slashed  her  throat.  Not  realizing  how 
badly  she  was  hurt,  she  grabbed  a  batch 
of  facial  tissues,  placed  them  against  the 
wound  and  fell  asleep.  Within  a  half 
hour  or  so  she  bled  to  death. 

Murder  is  not  always  easy  to  recognize 
— a  fact  which  these  two  unusual  suicide 
cases  illustrate.  Non-violent  deaths  pre- 
sent an  equally  difficult  problem  to  the 
police  in  determining  whether  death  re- 
sulted from  a  criminal  agency  or  from  na- 
tural causes. 
"Suspicious"  Deaths 

]\Iany  police  officers  fail  to  realize  that 
as  the  first  oflicer  on  the  scene  they  often 
make  a  major  contribution  in  classifying 
a  murder  as  a  suicide  or  death  from  acci-

dental  injuries.  In  some  instances  officers 
at  the  scene  of  an  accident  or  an  apparent 
suicide  have  failed  to  take  note  of  evi- 
dence at  the  scene  which  practically 
screams:  "This  is  murder!"  Failing  to 
observe  the  tell-tale  signs  of  murder,  they 
report  "apparently  suicide"  or  "death  due 
to  accident." 

The  first  officer  on  the  scene  of  a  homi- 
cide should  learn  to  know  the  signs  which 
would  put  a  death  in  the  classification  of 
"under  suspicious  circumstances"  in  order 
that  the  forces  of  law  and  order  will  not 
lose  precious  minutes  in  seeking  out  a 
killer. 

Death  may  be  due  to  (a)  natural 
causes;  (b)  self-inflicted  wounds;  (c)  in- 
juries received  in  an  accident,  or  (d)  the 
result  of  a  murderous  attack. 

The  officer  must  find  out  which  of  the 
four  possible  mechanisms  caused  death, 
and  then  hnd  evidence  to  support  his  con- 
clusions. He  must,  therefore,  seek  a  per- 
son skilled  in  medicine  to  determine  the 
cause  of  death  from  an  examination  of  the 
body  of  the  victim.  Only  physicians  can 
perform  a  post-mortem  examination.  The 
official  who  performs  the  autopsy  is  usu- 
ally called  a  coroner  or  a  medical  exam- 
iner. 

It  is  the  duty  of  the  police  to  in\esti- 
gate  the  circumstances  attending  the 
death  by  an  examination  of  the  scene  and 
questioning  witnesses.  His  object  is  to  ex- 
plore the  events  that  led  up  to  it  and  to 
seek  a  reconstruction  of  the  last  hours 
spent  on  earth  by  the  deceased.  From 
this  portion  of  the  initial  investigation,  it 
is  expected  that  a  reasonable  conclusion 
as  to  the  possible  mechanism  of  death  can 
be  made. 

This  information  is  passed  on  to  the 
surgeon  who  is  performing  the  autopsy. 
It  is  then  the  duty  of  this  member  of  the 
medical  profession  to  determine  the  cause 
of  death,  the  mechanism  that  brought  it 
about,  and  any  contributing  factors. 

Armed  with  this  autopsy  report,  the 
police  continue  to  search  into  the  back- 
ground of  the  deceased  for  any  evidence 
which  would  tend  to  clarify  the  details 
of  the  case  and  perhaps  controvert  the 
autopsy  findings.  Then,  and  only  then, 
have  the  police  and  the  medical  profession 
discharged  their  responsibility. 

Experienced  police  officers  and  medical 
examiners  are  astounded  by  the  ease  with 
which  the  untrained  and  the  incompetent 
make  positive  statements  at  a  death  scene 
— statements  which  are  entirely  at  odds 
with  the  conditions  that  exist  or  with 
common  sense.  They  are  amazed  by  the 
manner  in  which  these  inexperienced  in- 
dividuals can  readily  recognize  a  suicide 
or  an  accidental  death  but  have  trouble  in 
marshalling  the  evidence  which  points  to 
murder. 

A  few  years  ago  a  case  occurred  which

illustrates  how  self-appointed  "experts" 
can  prevent  the  detection  of  murder  by 
hastily  arriving  at  wrong  conclusions. 

A  police  officer  in  a  large  Eastern  city 
found  a  man  lying  on  a  landing  at  the  top 
of  a  flight  of  stairs.  He  was  lying  on  his 
left  side  in  a  pool  of  blood  and  whiskey. 
Scattered  about  the  slowly  coagidating 
blood  were  pieces  of  glass,  part  of  the 
label  describing  the  merits  of  a  cheap 
brand  of  whiskey  being  attached  to  one 
of  the  larger  glass  fragments. 

"The  guy's  coming  upstairs  with  a 
bottle  of  whiskey  and  fell  on  the  bottle," 
the  officer  told  the  detectives  upon  ar- 
rival. 

"Doc,"  one  of  the  detectives  in  the 
case  addressed  the  medical  examiner's  as- 
sistant as  he  arrived  on  the  scene  a  short 
time  later.  "The  poor  guy  fell  on  a  bottle 
of  whiskey  he  was  carrying." 

The  young  physician's  trained  eye 
noted  the  man,  the  bottle  fragments,  and 
the  blood,  but  he  failed  to  examine  all  the 
facts  because  of  the  comment  of  the  dc- 
tecti\e.  It  fixed  an  idea  in  his  mind  which 
fitted  the  pattern  of  the  scene.  "Too 
bad,"  he  said  as  he  straightened  up. 
"Looks  like  a  man  that  liked  a  drink, 
too." 

The  body  of  the  deceased  was  sent  to 
the  morgue,  an  autopsy  was  performed, 
the  blood  and  glass  on  the  landing 
cleaned  up,  and  the  case  closed. 

This  case  was  classified  as  an  acci- 
dental death.  It  was  believed  that  the 
weight  of  the  body  had  caused  several 
glass  fragments  to  lacerate  the  left  arm- 
pit when  he  fell,  and  death  resulted  from 
loss  of  blood. 

Friends  and  relatives  of  the  dead  man, 
however,  believed  he  was  murdered — 
stabbed  in  a  drunken  fight.  They  said  he 
was  not  the  sort  of  man  who  would  com- 
mit suicide. 

A  year  later  the  details  did  leak  out. 
The  woman  with  whom  he  lived  ad- 
mitted in  a  drunken  brag  that  she  had 
killed  him.  She  had  grasped  the  bottle  of 
whiskey  she  was  bringing  home  for  them 
by  its  neck  and  broken  it  against  the  stair 
railing.  As  her  paramour  raised  his  arm 
to  strike  her,  she  drove  the  jagged  edges 
of  the  broken  bottle  into  his  armpit.  As  he 
fell,  she  released  her  grasp  on  the  bottle's 
neck  and  ran. 

She  was  never  prosecuted.  There  were 
no  eye-witnesses,  no  fragments  of  glass, 
and  no  testimony  as  to  the  location  of  the 
various  fragments.  No  one  had  ever  proc- 
essed the  larger  pieces  of  glass  for  finger- 
prints, no  one  had  bothered  to  photograph 
the  scene — in  fact  no  one  had  bothered 
to  conduct  anvthing  more  than  a  cursory 
investigation.  It's  small  wonder  that  mur- 
der is  difficult  to  recogni/.e.

Duel  Responsibility 

The  detection  of  murder  is  a  divided 
responsibility — a  responsibility  that  rests 
with  the  agents  of  law  enforcement  and 
with  the  medical  profession.  The  two 
agencies  bent  on  detecting  murder  com- 
plement each  other.  The  ability  and 
knowledge  of  one  does  not  compensate 
for  incompetence  and  lack  of  training  in 
the  other.  Both  must  function  at  top 
efficiency. 

In  the  investigation  of  suspicious 
deaths  cooperation  between  investigator 
and  medical  examiner  is  essential.  The  in- 
vestigator must  know  his  own  duties  and 
what  he  may  expect  from  a  coroner  or 
medical  examiner,  and  the  physician  per- 
forming the  autopsy  should  also  know  his 
own  tasks  and  have  a  full  knowledge  of 
what  he  has  a  right  to  expect  from  the 
investigator. 

Armed  with  knowledge  the  detective- 
physician  team  can  fight  the  "smart"  kill- 
ers, detect  their  crimes,  and  bring  them  to 
justice. 

CHECK  THE  CAUSE 

If  you  have  had  several  near  traffic  ac- 
cidents in  recent  months  now  is  the  time 
to  check  the  cause. 

Arnold  E.  Archibald,  president  of  the 
San  Francisco  Chapter  of  the  National 
Safety  Council,  warned  motorists  that 
many  accidents  are  preceded  by  several 
"close  encounters." 

"Defective  eyes,  slowed  up  reactions, 
continued  fatigue  and  poor  physical  con- 
dition may  be  responsible.  After  several 
near  brushes  a  driver  should  have  a  check- 
up for  his  own  good — and  the  safety  of 
others.  He  may  find  a  hidden  reason  for 
his  trouble.  Often  it  has  been  found  that 
glasses,  or  a  change  of  lenses,  will  correct 
the  trouble,"  Archibald  said. 

"If  it  is  found  that  reactions  have  been 
slowed  —  either  by  illness  or  advanced 
years — the  driver  will  be  aware  of  it  and 
can  intelligently  allow  for  it  in  his  driv- 
ing Distances  between  their  car  and  the 
car  ahead  should  be  increased ;  normal 
driving  speeds  should  be  reduced  slightly  ; 
and  more  attention  should  be  given  to 
autos  approaching  from  the  side,"  the 
safety  official  added. 

National  police  reports  on  "accident 
repeaters"  show  that  many  of  these  people 
could  be  "cured"  by  a  visit  to  their  doctor 
or  to  an  optometrist,  Archibald  reported.

CAREER  OPPORTUNITIES  IN 
PUBLIC  SERVICE 


From  the  book  THE  INVESTIG.A.TOR'S  HAND- 
BOOK, by  Arthur  Liebers  and  Capt.  Carl  VoUmer, 
NVPD,  copyright,  1954,  by  Arco  Publishing  Com- 
pany. 

While  the  criminal  investigator  re- 
ceives wide  publicit)'  on  television,  and  in 
the  pages  of  mystery  magazines,  most  civil 
investigators  perform  their  important  du- 
ties in  jobs  which  the  average  person  is 
not  aware  of.  Practically  every  govern- 
ment bureau  and  agency  employs  investi- 
gators, and  the  investigative  positions  are 
among  the  better  paid  civil  service  posts. 
Federal,  state,  county,  and  municipal 
governments  all  oiifer  employment  oppor- 
tunities for  investigators,  and  their  work 
is  both  interesting  and  rewarding. 

The  Department  of  Justice,  whose  jur- 
isdiction is  mainly  criminal,  utilizes  civil 
investigators  in  its  Claim  Division,  and 
the  Crminal  Investigation  division  of  the 
Defense  Department  has  a  staff  of  civil- 
ian investigators.  The  Transportation 
Corps  and  Quartermaster  Corps  of  the 
Army  utilize  investigators.  The  office  of 
Naval  Intelligence  numbers  civilian  in- 
vestigators on  its  roster.  Other  Federal 
agencies  which  offer  opportunities  in  the 
field  of  civil  investigation  are :  Depart- 
ment of  Commerce;  Interior  Depart- 
ment ;  Wage  and  Hours  Division.  De- 
partment of  Labor  ;  Interstate  Commerce 
Commission ;  Federal  Trade  Commis- 
sion ;  Pure  Food  and  Drug  Administra- 
tion ;  Federal  Security  Agency ;  Civil 
Service  Commission  ;  Central  Intelligence 
Agency ;  Federal  Communications  Com- 
mission ;  Post  Office ;  and  a  number  of 
other  commissions  and  agencies. 
State  Government 

In  the  state  government,  which  is 
closer  to  the  individual  citizen,  there  are 
many  positions  which  call  for  an  investi- 
gative background.  State  civil  service 
commissions  or  personnel  bureaus  use  in- 
vestigators to  check  on  applicants  for  state 
posts ;  state  liquor  authority  investigators

state  liquor  authority  investigattors  check 
on  compliance  with  liquor  laws  and 
on  applicants  for  liquor  licenses ;  state 
motor  vehicle  bureaus  have  a  staff  of  in-

gate applicants  of  various  kinds  for  state 
permits.

vestigators  associated  with  the  welfare 
and  relief  functions  of  the  county;  in- 
vestigators assigned  to  county  hospitals 
and  homes;  investigators  working  for  the 
board  of  assessors,  and  others. 
City  Government 

In  a  typical  city  government,  the  inves- 
tigators and  inspection  staff  make  up  a 
considerable  part  of  the  municipal  pay- 
roll. Health  department,  welfare  depart- 
ment, board  of  education,  finance  depart- 
ment, sanitation  department,  board  of 
elections,  bureau  of  weights  and  measures, 
department  of  markets,  license  depart- 
ment, hospitals  department,  municipal 
courts,  municipal  civil  service  commis- 
sion, and  public  utilities  bureau  are 
among  employers  of  investigators.  In 
larger  cities,  you  will  even  find  a  separate 
Department  of  Investigations,  which  op- 
erates under  the  executive  or  legislative 
branches  of  the  city  government  to  inves- 
tigate the  operations  of  city  agencies  or 
conduct  special  investigations. 

In  addition  to  the  investigators  em- 
ployed by  government  agencies,  there  are 
many  semi-governmental  organizations 
which  also  provide  careers  in  investiga- 
tion. The  functions  of  International  Red 
Cross  agents  are  largely  investigative.  So- 
cieties for  the  prevention  of  cruelty  to 
children  employ  investigators.  Many  Con- 
gressional committees  need  investigators 
for  special  assignments,  and  state  legisla- 
tive committees  often  receive  appropria- 
tions for  the  employment  of  investigators. 
Investigators  are  also  found  on  the  staff 
of  the  United  Nations. 

Appointments  to  investigate  positions 
in  government  service  are  usually  ob- 
tained through  passing  a  competitive  ex- 
amination, or  by  appointment  on  the  basis 
of  previous  training  and  experience. 
^Vhile  a  number  of  investigative  posts  in 
public  service  are  still  subject  to  patron- 
age, their  number  is  decreasing ;  more  and 
more  are  being  placed  imder  civil  service 
appointment  procedures  each  year. 

In  the  appendix  of  this  book  you  will 
lind  a  typical  examination  for  a  municipal 
investigator's  position.  After  reading  this 
book,  try  the  test,  and  see  how  your  an- 
swers compare  with  the  official  answer 
sheet. 

OPPORTUNITIES  IN  PARTV 
INDUSTRY 

What  are  the  opportunities  for  an  in- 
vestigator in  the  business  world  ?  In  a  re- 
cent survey,  this  writer  found  salaries 
ranging  from  94  cents  an  hour  being  paid 
by  a  protective  service,  to  a  high  of  well 
over  $20,000  a  year  which  was  received 
by  the  protection  head  of  a  department 
store.  Many  young  investigators  find 
themselves  confronted  by  the  same  di- 
lemma   facing   beginners   in  every   other

Held  of  endeavor.  Employers  seem  to 
want  men  and  women  with  some  experi- 
ence;  they  won't  hire  a  person  without 
experience  and  give  him  a  chance  to  ob- 
tain it. 

Fortunately,  in  investigation,  there  are 
many  opportunities  for  part-time  work. 
Many  persons,  who  have  started  out  with 
a  vague  interest  in  becoming  an  investiga- 
tor, have  been  able  to  gain  experience  by 
part-time  work  after  school  or  another 
job.  1  bus,  after  serving  an  apprenticeship 
in  that  way,  they  have  been  able  to  obtain 
ful-time  employment. 

The  "help  wanted"  columns  of  news- 
papers often  carry  ads  asking  for  part- 
time  investigators,  and  these  are  usually 
open  to  persons  with  little  or  no  practical 
experience  in  the  held.  Many  lawyers 
will  give  a  young  person  a  chance  to  try 
his  hand  at  investigation.  Sometimes  a 
local  loan  company  or  bank  will  provide 
the  opening  breach  into  the  field. 

The  following  list  will  provide  the  in- 
\estigator  with  a  guide  to  employment 
opportunities,  but  it  is  far  from  a  com- 
plete listing  of  the  various  business  and 
industries  which  use  investigators. 

Banks,  credit  agencies,  retail  credit  bu- 
reaus, installment  houses,  private  detec- 
tive agencies,  protective  services,  attor- 
neys, personnel  offices  of  industrial  plants, 
finance  companies,  department  stores,  ho- 
tels, insurance  clearing  houses,  insurance 
companies,  reporting  services,  better  busi- 
ness bureaus,  railroad  companies,  steam- 
ship companies,  local  transit  companies, 
airlines,  gas  and  electric  companies,  legal 
aid  societies,  welfare  organizations,  auto- 
mobile associations,  political  parties,  tele- 
phone companies,  newspapers,  race  tracks 
and  the  Thoroughbred  Racing  Protective 
Association,  mutual  stores  associations, 
large  real  estate  firms,  and  many  others 
are  on  the  potential  employer  list. 

For  the  individual  who  wishes  to  pre- 
pare himself  through  training  for  work 
in  investigation,  there  are  schools  in  sev- 
eral cities  which  offer  courses  in  inves- 
tigation, and  a  number  of  colleges  ha\e 
departments  ofiering  specialized  work  in 
this  field.  In  addition,  there  are  a  number 
of  correspondence  schools  which  ofter  in- 
struction through  the  mails,  but  their  em- 
phasis is  generally  on  the  criminal 
branches  of  investigation.  An  excellent 
course  emphasizing  the  military  aspects 
of  investigation  is  offered  as  part  of  the 
Army's  Reserve  Corps  Correspondence 
Training  Program. 

HOW  TO  FIND  A   [OH  IN 
INVESTIGATION 

Ihe  \oung  person  who  has  chosen  to 
make  a  career  in  the  profession  of  inves- 
tigation is  fortunate  in  that  he,  or  she, 
has  selected  a  field  in  which  a  desire  for

advancement  and  a  genuine  liking  for  the 
work  are  more  important  than  any  formal 
training  or  preparation.  And  there  are 
few  barriers  in  investigation.  Persons  of 
every  age,  color,  religion  and  race  are  en- 
gaged in  this  work.  In  fact,  membership 
in  some  minority  racial  group  often  is  an 
asset  to  the  investigator,  who  will  find  his 
entry  made  easier  because  of  his  ability  to 
make  contacts  that  would  be  more  difficult 
for  a  person  who  could  not  find  common 
grounds  with  the  sources  of  information 
and  the  people  he  encounters  in  the  course 
of  his  investigation. 

Almost  every  type  of  prior  experience 
will  be  found  helpful  to  the  investigator. 
A  young  man  who  had  been  a  short-order 
cook  found  that  this  experience  helped 
qualify  him  for  work  as  a  traveling  in- 
spector for  a  chain  of  food  shops.  Those 
with  retail  experience  will  find  that  the 
retail  surveys  and  shopping  services  are 
constantly  seeking  people  with  just  that 
background.  Men  and  women  with  in- 
dustrial assembly-line  and  warehouse  ex- 
perience fit  naturally  into  industrial  \m- 
dercover  assignments.  A  former  bartender 
is  now  engaged  by  a  hotel  chain  to  check 
on  their  bartenders.  Truck  drivers  and 
transportation  workers  find  their  services 
in  demand  by  companies  which  specialize 
in  transportation  investigations. 

TYPES  OF  EMPLOYMENT 

The  field  of  employment  open  to  the 
investigator  is  vast,  but  he  should  consider 
his  personal  assets  and  aptitudes,  and  de- 
cide which  particular  branch  of  investiga- 
tion would  seem  to  give  him  the  best  pos- 
sibility for  a  fruitful  career.  For  the  pur- 
pose of  considering  some  of  the  major 
types  of  employment  in  investigation,  the 
following  outline  will  indicate  what  a 
part  of  the  field  offers :

Divorce  investigations

HOir  TO  APPLY  FOR  A 
POSITION 

When  you  have  checked  through  the 
list  above  and  found  the  field  that  appeals 
to  you,  the  next  step  should  be  to  start 
on  a  campaign  to  get  hired.  Use  the  local 
telephone  directory  for  a  list  of  prospects 
and  then  you  can  either  set  out  on  a  round 
of  personal  calls  or  launch  a  letter-writ- 
ing campaign. 

If  you  decide  to  go  out  in  person,  dress 
neatly  and  conservatively  for  your  inter- 
views. It  is  important  to  avoid  exaggera- 
tion in  discussing  your  own  background 
and  abilities  with  your  interviewer.  Most 
investigative  agencies  prefer  to  hire  a  per- 
son with  an  interest  in  investigation  and 
then  train  him  in  their  methods.  If  you 
have  a  typewriter,  make  out  a  one-page 
description  of  yourself  that  you  can  leave 
after  the  interview  so  that  they  can  keep 
your  application  in  mind  if  you  are  not

In  writing  a  letter  of  application,  it  is

anxious  to  become  an  investigator  means 
little  to  the  man  who  receives  it;  but  a 
well-written  letter  which  outlines  your 
education  and  experience  (especially  any 
experience  which  fits  in  with  the  type  of 
investigation  you  are  seeicing),  should 
bring  the  desired  invitation  to  come  in  for 
a  talk. 

Most  of  the  national  agencies  have 
their  main  offices  in  New  York  City,  and 
a  letter  to  the  personnel  manager  of  the 
main  office  will  be  forwarded  to  the 
branch  office  near  you  if  it  arouses  the  in- 
terest of  the  executive  who  receives  it. 
Some  of  the  larger  agencies  in  the  investi- 
gative field  are:

Avenue,  New  York,  N.  Y.

GET  ON  THE  SHOULDER 

Displays  of  wildflowers  are  calhng 
many  motorists  to  the  highways  these 
days,  especially  on  week-ends  and  for 
them  the  California  State  Automobile 
Association  has  some  pointers. 

1.  It's  all  right  to  drive  slowly  enough 
to  see  the  scenery,  but  you  have  no  right 
to  dawdle  on  a  busy  road. 

2.  'When  you  drive,  do  the  driving 
and  let  the  passengers  do  the  looking. 

3.  If  you  want  to  look  at  the  flowers 
or  the  scenery  yourself,  get  off  the  road, 
onto  the  shoulder  or  a  designated  view- 
point, and  do  your  sightseeing. 

The  CSAA  also  suggests  that  many  of 
the  best  displays  are  not  on  view  from 
main  highways  and  that  back  roads  and 
by-ways  are  not  only  less  crowded  and 
more  comfortable  for  sightseeing  but  fre- 
quentli,-  offer  other  compensations  as  well 
as  superior  displays  of  wildflowers.

"Split  second  action  may  save  your 
life!" 

Amos  E.  Crowl,  manager  of  the  San 
Francisco  Auto  Dealers  Association,  re- 
minded motorists  of  this  fact  in  stressing 
the  importance  of  driving  a  mechanically 
perfect  car. 

Crowl  lauded  the  vehicle  maintenance 
program  conducted  here  by  the  local 
Chapter  of  the  National  Safety  Council, 
Assocation  members,  and  official  agencies. 

"Alore  than  25U0  accidents  were 
caused  in  San  Francisco  last  year  by  de- 
fective motor  vehicles,"  Crowl  said. 
"Safety  Council  records  show  that  these 
dangerous  vehicles  claimed  three  lives 
and  injured  nearly  200  persons." 

"Obviously,"  Crowl  added,  "any  driv- 
er— even  a  very  skilled  one — is  helpless 
in  a  sudden  emergency  if  his  car  has 
worn  brakes,  a  detective  steering  mech- 
anism, or  some  other  dangerously  weak 
or  worn  part." 

Crowl  joined  police  and  Safety  Couji- 
cil  spokesmen  in  urging  all  motorists  to 
have  their  cars  thoroughly  checked  dur- 
ing the  month.  He  advised  car  and  truck 
owners  to  pay  particular  attention  to  the 
following  points:  brakes,  tires  head- 
lights, rear  and  stop  lights,  wheel  align- 
ment, exhaust  system  and  muffler,  wind- 
shield wipers,  glass,  horn,  and  the  rear- 
view  mirrors. 

"It  is  the  responsibility  of  every  truck 
and  auto  owner  and  driver  to  know  the 
e.xact  condition  of  his  vehicle.  An  emer- 
gency may  arise  at  any  second — and  if 
your  car  isn't  ready  for  it  you  may  lose 
your  life." 


NEW  STAFF  MEMBER 

Francis  J.  McCabe,  45,  retired  chief 
of  the  Maine  State  Police,  has  joined  the 
field  stafi  of  the  Traffic  Division  of  the 
International  Association  of  Chiefs  of  Po- 
lice, Evanston,  111. 

Franklin  IVI.  Kreml,  director  of  the 
lACP  Traffic  Division,  said  that  Mr. 
McCabe  will  serve  as  liaison  officer  with 
the  police  association's  State  and  Pro- 
vincial Section.  Specifically,  he  will  work 
with  the  general  chairman  and  regional 
chairman  of  the  lACP  State  and  Pro- 
vincial Section  in  developing  programs 
for  the  annual  and  regional  meetinsrs  of 
the  Section;  maintain  a  file  of  informa- 
tion on  state  roi'ce  and  highway  patrol 
activities,  and  serve  as  a  field  consultant 
to  Section  members.  He  will  work  under 
the  director  of  Md  service  io:  the  lACP

EMERGENCY  AID 

Pushing  another  car,  which  has  dis- 
placed towing  it  in  many  an  emergency, 
is  not  harmful  to  the  mechanism  of  the 
vehicle  during  the  pushing  if  it  is  driven 
carefully,  advises  the  National  Automo- 
bile Club.  Clutch  and  tires,  the  common 
sufferers,  are  not  damaged  if  they  are 
given  a  chance  to  take  on  the  extra  load 
gradually.  It  involves  starting  gently  and 
picking  up  speed  slowly  and  evenly.

PATROL  AMBULANCE 

A  versatile  ambulance,  police  emer- 
gency vehicle  and  patrol  car  suitable  for 
use  in  small  communities  as  a  combina- 
tion unit  or  in  metropolitan  cities  as  an 
auxiliary  emergency  car  has  been  intro- 
duced by  Studebaker. 

Slight  changes  in  the  interior  arrange- 
ment also  make  the  vehicle  ideal  for  use 
by  hospitals  as  a  private  ambulance.  Fun- 
eral homes  that  offer  ambulance  service 
can  quickly  replace  the  regulation  emer- 
gency equipment  after  the  vehicle  has 
been  used  as  a  flower  car  or  general  serv- 
ice car. 

For  industrial  use,  all  emergency  equip- 
ment, including  siren,  beacon,  and  four- 
wheeled  cot,  can  be  removed  in  a  few 
minutes  to  convert  the  ambulance  into  a 
personnel  carrier. 

According  to  state  police  who  were 
consulted  on  design  requirements,  the 
Studebaker  vehicle  is  ideal  for  highway 
patrol  duty  because  of  its  balance  at  high 
speeds,  its  comfort,  and  ease  of  handling. 
Also  it  has  ample  room  to  carry  all  of  the 
special  equipment  required  for  accident 
investigation  work,  emergency  treatment 
of  ill  or  injured  persons,  plus  room  for  a 
standard  ambulance  cot. 

Police  were  especially  enthusiastic 
about  the  ease  with  which  a  patient  can 
be  placed  in  and  removed  from  the 
vehicle. 

Interior  specifications  allow  a  wide  lati- 
tude of  choice  in  the  type  of  emergency 
equipment  that  can  be  installed.  For  ex- 
ample, two-way  radio  units  can  be  placed 
over  the  transmission  housing  for  easy  ac- 
cess, and  operated  from  the  instrument 
panel.  Mounting  plates  can  be  placed  in 
numerous  locations  for  such  items  as  oxy- 
gen tanks,  rescue  tackle,  or  auxiliary 
flood-lighting  equipment. 

The  ambulance  is  modified  from  a 
Conestoga  station  wagon.  Both  front  and 
rear  seats  are  of  the  divided  type,  and  the 
rear  seats  fold  down  in  the  conventional 
manner.  When  the  right  section  of  the 
rear  seat  is  raised,  it  provides  space  for 
a  medical  attendant  at  the  head  of  the 
ambulance  cot.  With  both  rear  seat  sec- 
tions raised,  there  is  room  for  three  pas- 
sengers. 

Zipper  openings  in  the  flax  vinyl  head- 
liner  provide  easy  access  to  mounting 
bolts  and  wiring  that  connect  the  revolv- 
ing beacon  and  siren  on  the  roof.  A  two- 
way  toggle  switch  cuts  out  the  conven- 
tional horn  and  allows  the  siren  to  be 
operated  from  the  horn  ring  during  em- 
ergency runs.  A  spring  actuated  bridge- 
board  covers  the  gap  between  tailgate  and 
floor  so  that  one  man  can  easily  roll  the 
ambulance  cot  into  pasition  and  lock  it 
into  the  carrier  brackets.

AND  THEN  THERE  WERE  NINE 

By  Walter  R.  Hecox 

The  murder  of  Arvid  Benjamin  Ost- 
lund  was  by  no  means  a  spectacular 
crime.  It  was  instead  a  sordid  affair 
which,  without  considerable  research  into 
the  victim's  background,  lacked  the  quali- 
ties of  human  interest  which  cause  homi- 
cidal blood  lettings  to  be  splashed  across 
page  one  of  the  public  prints.  Ostlund's 
history  would  have  been  hard  to  dig  up 
at  the  time  of  the  killing.  In  fact  no  one 
knew  who  he  was  and,  with  the  exception 
of  the  late  Sheriff  William  Elamof  Placer 
County,  California,  no  one  seemed  to 
care.  Murder  is  always  important  to  a 
peace  officer.  Elam  worked  hard  on  the 
case  of  Arvid  Ostlund.  And  he  had  not 
worked  at  it  long  when  he  discovered  the 
murder  had  a  peculiar  significance. 

The  body  was  found  adjacent  to  the 
Southern  Pacific  right-of-way  just  east  of 
the  Roseville  city  limits  by  a  group  of 
railroad  track  workers  who  have  since  be- 
come anonymous.  Their  names  are  not 
important  anyway,  because  there  is  little 
likelihood  that  the  murderer  of  Ostlund 
will  ever  be  tried  for  that  particular 
crime.  His  victim  was  lying  in  a  sleeping 
position  on  a  pitiful  nest  composed  of  a 
bundle  of  thin,  although  clean,  blankets. 
His  head  had  been  thoroughly  crushed 
and  a  large,  bloodstained  rock  the  shape 
and  size  of  a  football,  which  was  lying 
nearby,  spoke  eloquently  of  its  part  in  the 
demise  of  the  wanderer.  Later  in  the  day 
Sheriff  Elam  weighed  the  rock  and  dis- 
covered it  weighed  twenty-six  pounds. 

Of  course,  there  were  no  means  of  im- 
mediately identifying  the  man.  If  he  car- 
ried any  personal  identification  it  had 
been  removed  by  the  killer.  The  motive 
was  obviously  robbery,  although  it  was 
also  obvious  that  the  victim's  death  was 
by  no  means  an  accident.  He  had  not  been 
struck  once  and  robbed.  The  stone  had 
descended  many  times,  until  Ostlund's 
skull  was  literally  crushed  to  a  pulp. 

There  were  other  strange  aspects  to 
the  case.  The  body  was  cleaner  than  that 
of  the  usual  bindle  stiff  found  dead  in  a 
hobo  jungle.  The  dead  man  was  living 
apart  from  others  of  his  calling,  evidently 
preferring  a  solitary  existence  to  the  com- 
panionship of  his  fellow  knights  of  the 
road.  His  hands  were  calloused,  giving 
mute  evidence  that  he  had  been  recently 
employed  at  hard  physical  labor. 

The  corpse  was  about  thirty-six  hours 
old  at  the  time  of  its  discovery.  In  fact 
it  was  the  odor  of  flesh  decaying  in  the 
warm  sunlight  of  early  July,  1951,  which 
led  the  track  workers  to  it.  However, 
Sheriff  Elam  found  it  possible  to  take 
fingerprints.  They  did  not  check  with 
any  in  his  file,  so  he  forwarded  them  to

the  California  Bureau  of  Criminal  Iden- 
tification and  Investigation,  together  with 
the  other  facts  of  the  case  and  a  request 
for  whatever  help  the  agency  could  give 
him. 

The  prints  were  forwarded  to  a  modus 
operandi  technician  who  checked  them, 
discovered  the  victim  had  been  arrested 
once  for  violation  of  railroad  laws,  and 
identified  him.  He  forwarded  the  infor- 
mation to  a  senior  M.  O.  technician,  who 
glanced  casually  through  the  folder  at 
first.  Murder,  being  the  peculiar  type  of 
crime  it  is,  rarely  repeated  and  therefore 
the  method  in  which  the  crime  is  com- 
mitted is  seldom  important  except  in  cases 
where  the  degree  is  important.  This  was 
obviously  first  degree,  and  ordinarily 
would  not  have  occupied  the  technician's 
attention  too  long.  After  reading  the 
case,  however,  he  did  a  sort  of  silent  dou- 
ble talk.  He  read  Sheriff  Elam's  report 
a  second  time,  paying  particular  atten- 
tion to  the  way  the  crime  was  reported, 
then  sat  quietly  at  his  desk,  staring  into 
space  and  tapping  a  pencil  on  his  blotter 
pad.  After  a  few  moments  he  crossed  the 
room  to  a  special  file  and  removed  an 
armful  of  bulky  folders.  He  spent  the 
next  few  hours  going  through  them  all 
carefully.  ^Vhen  he  had  finished  he 
picked  them  all  up  and  walked  into  the 
ofiice  occupied  by  Ralph  Davis  and 
Barnev  Huse,  top  investigators  for  the 
CII.  ' 

"Well,  gentlemen,"  he  announced. 
"We've  got  another  one.  Take  a  look  at 
this  homicide  report  from  Sheriff  Elam 
up  in  Placer  County." 

The  investigators  studied  the  folder, 
which  was  now  earmarked  "Ostlund," 
carefully,  but  waved  aside  the  other 
folders. 

"I  don't  need  them,"  Huse  commented. 
"I  know  them  by  heart." 

When  they  had  finished  reading  the 
Roseville  report  Davis  looked  at  Huse 
somberly. 

"He's  still  operating,"  he  declared. 

Huse  nodded.  "He  will  be  until  we  get 
him.  And  that's  going  to  take  some 
doing." 

"We've  got  to  do  something,"  Davis 
observed.  "This  can't  go  on." 

"Sure  we  have  to  do  something,"  Huse 
replied.  "But  what?  How  do  you  get  a 
killer  who  finds  his  weapons  lying  by  the 
railroad  track  and  kills  a  bum  nobody 
knows  for  the  few  dollars  he  has  in  his 
pocket,  unless  you  catch  him  in  the  act. 
And  if  you  catch  him  there  won't  be  any 
murder,  so  he'll  take  a  short  rap  in  the 
pen  and  we'll  never  be  sure  we  ha\c  the 
right  guy." 

"It  has  to  end,"  Davis  insisted.  "There 
must  be  a  wa)-  to  do  it.  Let's  go  see  the 
chief."

George  H.  Brereton,  head  of  the  C.I.I, 
bureau  of  the  California  Department  of 
Justice,  was  familiar  with  the  cases  pre- 
sented to  him  a  few  moments  later  by 
Huse  and  Davis.  He  read  the  report  of 
the  latest  murder  and  then  turned  to  his 
deputies. 

"Well,  we  know  he  was  in  Roseville  a 
few  days  ago,"  he  said.  "What  are  you 
fellows  going  to  do  about  it  ?" 

Davis  shrugged.  "What  can  we  do 
about  it?"  he  inquired.  "We  make  all 
the  routine  checks,  do  everything  we 
should  do,  and  so  do  the  local  officers. 
But  nothing  happens.  This  fellow  is  like 
a  ghost.  No  one  knows  what  he  looks  like 
or  why  he's  so  bloodthirsty.  He  seems  to 
kill  men  as  nonchalantly  as  the  average 
man  swats  a  fly.  By  the  time  the  body  is 
found  he's  on  a  freight  train  and  a  few 
hundred  miles  away.  What  can  we  do?" 

Brereton  frowned.  "It  will  be  tough," 
he  replied,  "but  this  must  stop.  This  man 
is  as  bad  as  Jack  the  Ripper."  He- paused 
and  gazed  reflectively  at  the  Ostlund 
folder.  "The  first  thing  we  are  going  to 
do  is  get  some  help.  I'll  call  a  meeting." 

A  casual  observer  standing  outside  the 
massive  building  which  is  known  simply 
as  State  Office  Building  Number  One  in 
Sacramento  might  have  thought  a  police 
officers'  convention  was  in  town  on  the 
morning  of  July  18,  1951.  Twelve  in- 
vestigators representing  five  counties  and 
the  Western  Pacific  Railroad  were  clust- 
ered outside  the  stately,  granite  portals. 
But  there  was  none  of  the  jocularity  evi- 
dent which  is  prevalent  during  an  average 
conclave  of  policemen.  They  filed  soberly 
into  the  building  and  were  taken  to  the 
fourth  floor  where  ten  state  investigators, 
headed  by  George  H.  Brereton,  awaited 
them.  The  C.I.I,  chief  called  the  meeting 
to  order. 

"You  all  know  why  you  are  here,"  he 
told  them.  "We  are  facing  a  situation 
which  is,  I  believe,  unique  in  California 
history.  Somewhere  in  this  state  right 
now  there  is  a  man  at  large  who  has  less 
respect  for  human  life  than  the  average 
one  of  us  feels  for  a  mosquito.  We  have 
on  record  in  our  files  eight  murders  which 
possess  seven  common  characteristics. 
These  crimes  are  so  nearly  identical  in 
character  that  our  modus  operandi  ex- 
perts tell  us  they  must  have  been  com- 
mitted by  the  same  man.  ^Ve  have  to 
catch  him,  and  it's  going  to  be  a  tough 
job. 

"I  want  you  to  understand  that  this  is 
no  run  of  the  mill  criminal  on  the  ram- 
page. These  killings  hav-  taken  pla  :e  over 
a  period  of  years  by  a  predatory  human 
being  who  destroys  his  victim.s  for  the  f'  w 
dollars,  or  centi,  they  might  have  in  tlieir 
pockets.  There  appears  to  Le  no  motive 
for  his  crimes  other  than  robbery.

"Our  MO  men  have  studied  his  meth- 
ods and  discovered  this  common  pattern 
for  his  killings:  One;  they  are  all  male, 
ranging  in  age  from  forty-five  to  sixty- 
nine.  I  wo;  callouses  on  their  hands  show 
they  are  all  working  men  who  have  re- 
cently been  employed  at  hard  physical 
labor.  Three;  they  were,  in  a  sense,  hobos, 
but  they  lived  apart  from  the  other  men 
in  the  jungles  or  traveled  by  themselves. 
Four ;  all  them  were  cleaner  about  their 
clothing  and  their  persons  than  the  aver- 
age bindle  stiff.  Five;  they  were  all  killed 
by  blows  on  the  head.  Six ;  in  every  case 
the  initial  blow  was  struck  from  behind 
or  the  side.  In  many  instances  the  victim 
was  sleeping  at  the  time  of  the  attack. 
Seven ;  the  beating  around  the  skull  of 
the  victim  invariably  continued  until  af- 
ter the  reflexes  were  stopped.  The  killer 
obviously  wanted  to  do  a  thorough  job. 

"There  is  another  peculiarity  in  these 
cases  which  must  be  considered,"  Brere- 
ton  continued.  "Most  hobo  jungle  kill- 
ings are  brought  about  by  quarrels  over 
liquor,  drugs  or  sex  perversions.  There  is 
no  evidence  that  any  of  these  is  a  factor 
in  the  crimes  this  man  has  committed. 
Naturally  this  will  make  the  job  of 
catching  him  doubly  tough.  There  have 
been  no  witnesses  to  any  of  his  murders. 
No  one  has  ever  seen  him  who  knows 
what  he  has  done.  At  least  none  have 
lived  to  tell  the  tale.  He  is  a  literal  will- 
o-the-wisp.  A  sort  of  vampire  of  the  hobo 
jungles.  Just  how  we  will  get  him  I  don't 
know.  But  we  have  to  do  it." 

"I  called  you  together  because  there 
has  to  be  a  pattern,"  he  concluded.  "All 
of  you  have  had  at  least  one  killing  in 
your  jurisdiction.  It  may  be  that  we  are 
missing  something.  Perhaps  one  man  was 
seen  in  each  area  at  the  time  of  the  mur- 
ders. Maybe  he  left  a  trademark  of  some 
kind.  There  could  be  one  essential  clue 
we  are  all  overlooking.  At  any  rate  I 
want  all  of  us  to  review  these  cases  to- 
gether. Maybe  we'll  turn  up  something 
that  has  been  missing  so  far.  We  will  ex- 
amine them  piece  by  piece.  At  least  we'll 
get  a  start." 

The  meeting  which  followed  Brere- 
ton's  opening  statement  was  one  of  the 
strangest  in  the  history  of  California  law 
enforcement.  The  story  which  unfolded 
there  was  one  of  the  most  startling  in  the 
time,  the  beginning  of  the  tale  went  back 
a  decade. 

It  started  near  Caliente,  Nevada,  back 
in  1942  when  the  nineteen-year-old  son 
of  a  Shoshone  Indian  woman  acquired  a 
pistol.  He  put  it  to  immediate  use,  and 
a  few  days  later  the  victim  of  a  one  thou- 
sand dollar  robbery  in  the  Nevada  desert 
positively  identified  him  as  the  man  who 
held  him  up.  The  young  Indian  was  sent 
to  the   Nevada   State   Prison  in  Carson

City  for  twenty  years  after  being  con- 
victed of  highway  robbery.  He  served 
four  years  of  the  sentence  and  was  pa- 
roled. At  twenty-three  his  outlook  on  life 
was  no  better  than  it  had  been  at  nine- 
teen, but  he  had  learned  a  lesson.  A  les- 
son he  paid  for  with  foud  back-breaking 
years  in  prison  .  .  .  and  a  lesson  others 
were  to  pay  for  later.  It  was  not  the  sort 
of  lesson  parole  boards  would  approve  of. 
Life  was  tough  for  the  young  Indian 
after  he  was  turned  loose.  He  did  not 
want  to  go  back  to  the  Shoshone  reserva- 
tion. He  was  half  Mexican  and  did  not 
feel  at  home  there.  Anjway,  by  nature  he 
WAS  a  wanderer.  A  hobo's  life  was  natural 
to  him.  He  followed  the  shining  steel 
rails  from  town  to  town  and  job  to  job. 
Seasons  meant  nothing  to  him.  Time  was 
meaningless.  It  was  peach  picking  time, 
or  cherry  season,  or  time  to  go  south  and 
harvest  cotton.  The  only  time  which 
meant  anything  to  him  was  that  which  he 
spent  in  prison.  There  was  plenty  of  that. 
In  1948  he  was  sentenced  to  the  federal 
prison  at  McNeill  Island  for  counter- 
feiting and  later  he  was  sentenced  to  a 
sixty-day  term  in  the  Sacramento  County 
jail  for  vagrancy.  He  escaped  from  the 
county  road  camp  almost  immediately. 

Lloyd  Gomez  was  a  rugged,  mean  cus- 
tomer when  he  made  his  break  for  free- 
dom from  the  Sacramento  County  jail.  He 
had  lost  all  taste  for  hard  physical  labor. 
He  would  work  if  he  had  to,  but  not  for 
long,  Before  long  he  found  a  new  way  to 
get  money.  He  never  got  much,  but  he 
didn't  need  much  in  a  hobo  jungle.  He 
discovered  the  system  almost  by  accident. 
A  flash  of  inspiration  struck  him  one  day 
while  he  walked  along  a  mountain  path 
above  Oroville,  California. 

The  Indian  who  had  asked  him  ro  his 
cabin  to  share  a  bottle  of  wine  with  him 
was  a  likeable  enough  man.  Actually 
Gomez  liked  him.  But  as  he  walked  along 
that  lonely  mountain  path  he  realized  he 
did  not  want  the  wine.  There  were  other 
things  he  would  rather  have.  A  good  meal 
for  instance. 

He  studied  the  old  Indian  carefully. 
The  fellow  was  dressed  neatly.  He  had 
been  able  to  afford  a  bottle  of  wine.  Prob- 
ably he  had  a  litle  money  on  him.  Not 
much,  but  enough.  But  robbery  was  dan- 
gerous. He  could  probably  overpower  the 
man  and  take  his  money,  but  he  had 
learned  his  lesson  in  Nevada.  The  Indian 
could  identify  him  and  he  would  wind  up 
back  in  jail.  But  there  was  a  way.  He 
remembered  an  old  saying.  Dead  men  tell 
no  tales. 

Gomez  hestitated,  a  strange,  tingling 
feeling  running  through  his  chest  to  the 
tips  of  his  fingers.  He  knew  he  was  going 
to  do  it.  He  had  to.  The  urge  to  kill  ate

at  his  mind  like  a  loathsome  cancer.  The 
trail  was  rocky.  Heavy,  granite  rocks  lay 
all  around  him.  He  picked  one  up,  testing 
the  solid  weight.  An  admirable  weapon. 
A  fool  proof  weapon.  He  rushed  forward, 
swinging  the  heavy  stone. 

It  crashed  solidh'  against  the  back  of 
the  old  Indian's  head.  Gomez  heard  the 
sound  of  cracking  bones  and  splattered 
flesh.  The  Indian  dropped  like  a  log. 
Probably  the  first  blow  was  enough  to  kill 
him.  But  Gomez  did  not  take  a  chance. 
The  rock  smashed  down  again  and  again, 
crushing  the  old  man's  head  to  a  bloody, 
shapeless  blob  of  flesh.  The  aging  body 
twitched  and  quivered  in  its  death  agony, 
then  lay  still.  The  rock  continued  to 
pound.  Finally  Gomez  stopped.  He  tossed 
the  stone  into  the  bushes.  Then  he  placed 
his  head  by  the  man's  chest,  listening  for 
a  heartbeat.  Satisfied  at  last  that  his  vic- 
tim was  dead  he  reached  for  the  pocket- 
book,  then  grunted  with  disgust.  The 
friendly  Indian  had  been  the  proud  pos- 
sessor of  five  cents. 

Gomez  dragged  the  body  deep  into  the 
bushes,  then  covered  up  his  trail  coming 
out.  He  walked  leisurely  back  on  the 
trail  over  which  he  had  come.  In  Oroville 
he  caught  a  west  bound  freight.  Soon 
there  were  miles  between  him  and  the 
scene  of  the  crime.  When  the  train 
crossed  the  Feather  River  he  dropped  the 
pocketbook  into  the  water,  after  he  had 
pocketed  the  nickel,  of  course.  Then  he 
leaned  back  against  the  wall  of  the  gon- 
dola he  had  picked  to  ride  in.  He  did  not 
feel  good  or  bad.  There  was  no  sensation 
at  all,  except  a  little  disappointment  at 
the  lack  of  money.  After  a  while  he  went 
to  sleep.  Lloyd  Gomez  had  embarked  on 
a  new  career.  But  first  he  had  to  know 
if  he  was  hunted. 

Months  passed.  The  killer  roamed  over 
California,  drifting  from  one  jungle  camp 
to  another,  watching  the  papers.  Finally 
he  saw  the  news  he  was  looking  for.  The 
decomposed  body  of  an  unidentified  man 
was  found  in  the  hills  above  Oroville. 
Authorities  believed  he  had  been  mur- 
dered. The  dead  man's  skull  had  been 
shattered.  They  were  attempting  to  iden- 
tify him. 

Gomez  waited.  Nothing  happened.  No 
one  was  looking  for  him.  There  was  a 
safe  way  to  commit  robbery.  All  he  had 
to  do  was  keep  moving. 

May  29,  1950.  Elmer  M.  Cushman 
swung  aboard  a  Western  Pacific  gondola 
headed  for  Stockton.  He  did  not  like  rid- 
ing this  way,  but  there  was  not  much 
choice.  There  were  only  twenty-six  dol- 
lars in  his  pocket,  and  he  had  to  live  until 
he  could  find  work.  Bus  or  train  fare 
from  Oakland  to  Stockton  would  take  a 
big  bite  from  that  small  a  stake.

Cushman  picked  the  most  comfortable 
place  he  could  find  and  dusted  it  off  care- 
fully with  his  handkerchief.  He  had 
learned  long  ago  that  it  paid  to  look  the 
best  you  could  when  you  were  looking  for 
work.  He  settled  down  and  rolled  a  ciga- 
rette. After  a  while  the  train  pulled  out 
from  under  the  fog  into  the  sunlight. 
Cushman  was  comfortable.  It  was  warm 
and  pleasant.  He  drifted  off  to  sleep. 

In  the  car  behind  his  a  slim,  stealthy 
body  moved  with  catlike  quiet  along  the 
floor  of  the  empty  gondola.  Slowly,  ever 
so  carefully,  the  strange,  human  animal 
lifted  his  head  above  the  steel  rim  of  the 
car.  He  peered  into  the  next  truck.  At 
first  he  thought  it  was  empty.  He  started 
to  climb  in,  then  drew  back  suddenly.  He 
had  almost  stepped  on  the  still  form  of 
a  sleeping  man. 

For  a  moment  he  hung  on  the  rim  of 
the  gondola,  staring  at  the  quiet  form 
underneath  him.  Cushman  did  not  look 
like  the  run  of  the  mill  knight  of  the 
road.  His  clothes  were  cleaner  than  usual 
and  he  seemed  fairly  well  fed.  More 
than  likely  there  was  money  in  his  pocket- 
book.  The  newcomer  remained  motionless 
for  a  while,  considering  the  situation. 
There  was  a  way  to  find  out  if  there  was 
any  money  on  the  sleeping  man.  An  easy 
way. 

He  glanced  about  the  empty  car  he  had 
been  about  to  leave.  A  length  of  two  by 
four  caught  his  eye.  It  was  a  husky  piece 
of  pine,  just  long  enough  to  make  a  good 
club.  He  picked  it  up  and  felt  its  weight, 
then  glanced  around.  No  one  was  in  sight. 
The  train  crew  was  apparently  all  back 
in  the  caboose.  He  climbed  back  to  his 
former  position  and  dropped  soundlessly 
into  the  gondola  occupied  by  Cushman. 
The  sound  of  the  rolling  wheels  masked 
any  disturbance  he  might  have  made.  The 
two  by  four  lifted  high  over  the  head  of 
the  sleeping  man,  then  crashed  against 
the  undefended  temple.  Again  and  again 
it  smashed  against  the  head  of  the  help- 
less man,  crushing  it  to  a  shapeless  pulp. 
Elmer  Cushman  gasped  and  struggled  for 
a  moment,  then  lay  still.  The  beating 
continued  until  the  last  reflex  stopped. 
Then  the  killer  paused.  He  listened  for 
a  heartbeat.  There  was  none.  The  job 
was  well  done.  Next  he  examined  the 
dead  man's  pockets.  The  operation  was 
profitable.  The  total  take  was  twenty-six 
dollars.  He  crouched,  apelike,  in  the  rear 
of  the  car,  grasping  the  club  firmly,  pre- 
pared to  defend  himself  against  any  in- 
truder. A  few  miles  further  on  the  train 
slowed  for  an  upgrade.  He  swung  up  to 
the  side  of  the  gondola  and  dropped  off 
into  the  bushes,  rolling  avva\  from  the 
road  bed.  As  the  freight  rolled  on  he  sat 
watching  it  until  it  was  out  of  sight, 
fingering  the  money  in  his  pocket.  It  had

been  so  easy.  No  one  could  ever  catch 
him.  He  did  not  feel  any  sympathy  for 
Cushman.  All  in  all  he  felt  that  his  fel- 
low traveler  was  better  off.  Life  was  no 
good  an^rway. 

Early  on  the  afternoon  of  November 
1 1,  1950,  Warren  Hood  Cunningham  sat 
outside  the  cardboard  shack  his  friend 
Joe  Kapuska  had  erected  close  to  the  rail- 
road trestle  in  the  sprawling  hobo  jungles 
north  of  Sacramento  and  listened  to  the 
radio.  The  two  men  huddled  close  to  a 
small  fire  and  enjoyed  a  minor  luxury  in 
the  life  of  vagrant.  They  spoke  in  low 
tones,  watching  the  threatening  late  fall 
sky  and  wondering  if  the  steadily  rising 
waters  of  the  nearby  American  River 
would  overflow  their  banks  soon  and 
flood  them  out  of  their  paper  jungle 
castles. 

A  slim,  unshaved  figure  appeared  from 
under  the  railroad  bridge  and  walked 
along  the  riverside  path.  He  glanced  at 
the  pair  briefly,  then  hastily  looked  away 
as  he  balanced  precariously  on  a  pair  of 
two  by  fours  which  topped  a  deep  ditch 
running  toward  the  river.  Cunningham 
watched  him  as  he  walked  past.  There 
was  a  light  of  recognition  in  his  eyes. 

"Hey,"  he  said  to  Kapuska.  "Isn't  that 
the  guy?" 

Kapuska,  better  known  in  the  hobo 
jungles  as  Joe  Cabbage,  shook  his  bearded 
head.  "What  guy?" 

"The  one  that  swiped  my  beer  and  sar- 
dines yesterday." 

"I  couldn't  say,"  Joe  Cabbage  an- 
swered. "You  know  I  can't  see  myck." 

"It's  the  guy  all  right,"  Cunningham 
muttered.  "I'm  going  to  make  him  give 
it  back."  He  rose  and  called  to  the  strang- 
er. "Hey  you !" 

The  slim  figure  started  to  run.  Cun- 
ningham followed  him,  hurling  curses  af- 
ter his  fleeing  foe,  but  he  was  no  match 
for  the  younger  man's  speed.  After  a 
while  he  gave  up  and  returned  to  the 
fire.  "At  least  now  he'll  know  he  can't 
steal  things  around  here  and  get  away 
with  it,"  he  told  Cabbage. 

The  stranger  ran  a  considerable  dis- 
tance. He  did  not  tire  easily,  and  he  did 
not  want  to  tangle  with  Cunningham 
face  to  face.  He  ran  almost  a  quarter  of 
a  mile  before  he  slowed  his  pace  to  a  fast 
walk.  Cunningham  had  given  up  the 
chase  long  ago,  but  he  continued  walk- 
ing fast  the  remaining  half  mile  to  his 
own  nest.  Then  he  lay  down  on  his  blan- 
kets, thinking,  grimly  angry. 

Three  hours  passed.  The  stranger  had 
not  moved,  except  for  his  left  hand,  which 
was  absent  mindedly  caressing  a  twenty- 
two  caliber  rifle  he  had  purchased  a  few 
davs  earlier.  There  were  shells  in  the 
rifle.  He  could  fix  Cunningham's  bacon 
with  that  gun.  The  sun  peaked  through

a  veil  of  clouds  over  the  western  horizon. 
It  would  be  dark  soon.  The  slim  stranger 
arose  and  moved  off,  taking  the  gun  with 
him. 

He  did  not  go  directh  to  Cunning- 
ham's shack.  There  was  too  good  a  chance 
that  he  might  be  observed.  The  other  side 
of  the  levee  which  was  close  to  his  shack 
was  by  far  the  safer  route.  He  moved 
silently  along  the  bank,  once  again  a 
weird,  hunting  human  animal.  When  he 
reached  the  railroad  bridge  he  cut  down 
into  the  ditch  which  he  had  crossed  on  a 
pair  of  two  by  fours  a  few  hours  earlier 
and  moved  stealthily  along  it.  His  feet 
got  a  little  wet,  but  he  did  not  mind.  The 
important  thing  was  the  job  at  hand.  No 
one  could  cross  him  and  live. 

A  clump  of  trees  just  west  of  Joe 
Cabbage's  shack  shielded  him  nicely.  He 
crept  out  of  the  ditch  and  into  the  thick 
brush  under  the  trees.  The  two  men  were 
still  sitting  by  the  fire.  It  would  be  .so 
easjr.  He  lifted  the  rifle  and  took  careful 
aim,  then  fired  three  times  as  fast  as  he 
could.  Cunningham  slumped  forward, 
then  rolled  over  on  his  back.  Joe  Cabbage 
did  not  move. 

The  killer  stalked  contemptuously  out 
of  the  bushes  and  walked  past  Cabbage 
to  the  body  of  the  other  man.  He  pressed 
the  rifle  barrel  against  his  victim's  head 
and  fired  three  more  times.  The  job  was 
done.  He  glanced  at  Joe  Cabbage  specu- 
latively, then  shrugged  his  shoulders.  The 
aging  Russian  was  frozen  with  fear.  Be- 
sides he  was  half  blind.  The  killer  walked 
off.  About  a  mile  away  he  tossed  the  gun 
into  the  tules  and  continued  to  the  rail- 
road. He  caught  a  freight  bound  for 
Stockton  almost  at  once. 

The  next  day  he  read  about  the  killing. 
The  newspaper  story  told  how  Joe  Cab- 
bage had  run  to  the  shack  accupied  by 
Mike  Gilbert,  caretaker  of  the  nearby 
Robinson  dumps,  and  how  in  turn  Gil- 
bert had  notified  the  sheriff.  The  story 
said  they  were  looking  for  the  murder 
weapon. 

The  killer  considered  this  seriously.  He 
had  made  a  mistake.  Suppose  they  should 
find  the  gun,  hidden  in  the  tules.  Maybe 
they  could  trace  it  to  him.  Still,  there 
was  little  chance  that  they  could  find  it. 
But  it  was  possible.  The  thought  haunted 
him. 

Three  days  later  he  caught  a  north- 
bound freight.  He  dropped  off  in  North 
Sacramento  and  proceeded  immediately 
to  the  jungle.  The  gun  was  easy  to  find. 
But  he  couldn't  be  seen  there  carrying  a 
gun.  It  had  to  be  eliminated  right  away. 
He  had  provided  for  that. 

From  a  jacket  pocket  he  produced  a 
stolen  hacksaw  blade  and  started  to  work. 
It  took  a  long  time  to  finish  the  job,  but 
when  he  was  finally  done  he  had  four

neat  pieces.  They  fit  into  his  jacket  pock- 
et. Once  again  he  caught  a  south  bound 
freight.  As  the  train  passed  over  the 
Cosumnes  River,  about  twent\'  miles 
south  of  Sacramento,  he  dropped  the 
pieces  into  the  water.  He  rode  south  as 
far  as  Bakersfield.  Now  let  them  catch 
him. 

'Fhe  desert,  California's  endless  miles 
of  sagebrush,  sand,  rock,  and  Joshua  trees, 
stretched  out  before  him.  It  seemed  a 
likely  retreat.  Inwardly  he  cursed  himself 
for  using  a  gun  on  Cunningham.  They 
could  trace  a  thing  like  that.  Some  people 
knew  he  had  owned  the  gun.  Suppose 
one  of  them  talked.  But  there  was  little 
danger.  No  one  knew  him  well.  All  they 
could  do  was  describe  him.  He  wandered 
out  into  the  desert. 

He  got  as  far  as  Mojave,  a  sort  of 
jumping  off  place  beyond  Bakersfield, 
when  he  met  the  man  who  refused  to  give 
him  a  match.  No  one  will  ever  know 
just  why  Earl  Franklin  Woods  refused 
the  request,  but  people  are  in  general 
agreement  that  he  had  a  right  to  do  so. 
Perhaps,  however,  he  would  not  have 
been  so  hasty  with  his  refusal  had  he 
been  aware  of  the  peculiar  attitude  to- 
ward life  entertained  by  the  man  who  ac- 
costed him.  At  any  rate,  he  would  have 
been  more  careful  thereafter.  As  it  was, 
he  just  kept  on  walking  down  the  tracks. 

The  killer,  his  hands  already  elbow 
deep  in  blood,  stared  somberly  after 
Wood's  retreating  form,  literally  growl- 
ing with  rage.  There  were  a  lot  of  rocks 
near  the  tracks.  He  picked  one  up  and 
overtook  the  other  man  soundlessly. 

Once  again  a  heavy  bludgeon  made  con- 
tact with  an  imdefended  skull.  AVoods 
dropped  in  his  tracks,  but  the  killer 
worked  on,  long  after  his  victim  was 
dead.  When  it  was  over  he  dropped  the 
rock  by  the  roadbed  and  listened  for  a 
heartbeat.  'Fhen  he  dragged  his  victim 
into  the  bushes.  A  short  time  later  he 
caught  a  freight  for  Los  Angeles. 

The  Mojave  desert  is  not  a  place 
where  a  person  can  hide  a  body  near  any- 
thing so  public  as  a  railroad  and  hope  it 
will  remain  hidden  long.  Wood's  bod\- 
was  found  almost  immediately  and 
Southern  Califorin'a  police  took  prompt 
action.  Lloyd  Gomez  was  arrested  as  he 
stepped  off  the  train  in  the  Los  Angeles 
freight  yards. 

Hard  working  policemen  questioned 
the  suspect  for  three  days.  At  the  end  of 
that  time  they  reali/.ed  that  all  they  could 
prove  was  that  Gomez  had  been  aboard 
a  freight  train  which  had  come  to  Los 
Angeles  through  Mojave.  Fhey  realized 
a  murder  conviction  would  be  almost  im- 
possible to  get  on  such  a  thin  strand  of 
evidence,  so  three  days  later  their  prisoner 
was  released  with  reluctance.

For  a  few  months  Lloyd  Gomez  and 
the  world  lived  in  peace.  The  narrow- 
escape  from  justice  in  Los  Angeles  had 
been  too  much  for  him.  Apparently  things 
like  that  are  inclined  to  tone  down  a 
man's  killing  habits.  At  any  rate  the  series 
of  bludgeon  deaths  in  hobo  jungles 
stopped  briefly.  It  was  not  until  June  9, 
1951,  that  he  stumbled  across  the  man 
sleeping  near  the  Santa  Fe  Railroad 
tracks  near  Stockton.  He  was  about  a 
hundred  yards  from  the  roadbed,  sleep- 
ing in  an  improvised  nest  of  blankets 
just  west  of  the  city. 

1  he  sleeping  man  looked  prosperous, 
as  hobos  go.  Gomez  considered  the  situa- 
tion. Night  was  falling.  The  area  was 
deserted.  There  were  hundreds  of  people 
who  looked  like  him  in  Stockton  for  the 
fruit  harvest.  Anyway,  they  hadn't  come 
close  to  getting  him  in  Los  Angeles.  He 
knew  they  were  just  guessing. 

There  was  a  two  by  four  and  large 
rock  nearby.  He  used  them  both.  It  was 
over  quickly.  He  was  getting  to  be  an  ex- 
pert at  bashing  in  human  skulls. 

He  had  been  right  about  the  man's 
prosperity.  There  were  twenty  dollars  in 
his  shirt  pocket.  He  transferred  the 
money  to  his  own  jeans,  tossed  the  two  b\ 
four  into  the  nearby  slough,  and  con- 
tinued on  his  way. 

The  twenty  dollars  was  a  good  stake 
for  a  hobo.  It  lasted  almost  two  weeks. 
Gomez  did  not  feel  the  urge  to  kill  until 
he  boarded  a  freight  car  near  Merced 
and  met  friendly,  despondent  George 
Jones. 

Jones  included  a  bottle  of  wine  in  his 
meager  possessions.  He  sipped  at  it 
slowly,  trying  somehow  to  bring  some 
sweetness  into  his  life  through  the  sugar 
content  of  muscatel.  He  offered  Gomez 
a  drink,  but  Lloyd  refused. 

The  two  men  talked  a  lot.  They  agreed 
that  life  was  not  good.  It  was  too  tough, 
too  hard  to  make  a  living.  As  Jones  sank 
further  into  his  cups  he  confided  in  Go- 
mez. In  face  he  declared  that  he  was  tired 
of  living. 

"I  wish  that  someone  would  knock  me 
on  the  head  and  drop  me  on  the  tracks  in 
front  of  the  train,"  he  admitted.  "I'm 
tired  of  this  life." 

There  was  a  gleam  of  humor  in  Go- 
mez' eyes,  but  Jones  did  not  see  it.  Before 
long  he  finished  the  wine  and  dropped  off 
into  a  slightly  alcoholic  slumber.  Gomez 
waited  until  he  was  snoring,  then  he  went 
to  work.  Once  again  a  two  by  four  was 
lying  nearby. 

No  one  can  say  Lloyd  Gomez  was  not 
obliging  in  the  case  of  George  Jones.  He 
hit  the  despondent  traveling  man  right 
where  he  had  indicated,  not  once  but  a 
dozen  times.  But  he  was  wholly  coopera- 
tive.  He  did  not  drop  the  body  on  the

tracks.  Instead  he  removed  sixteen  dol- 
lars and  fifty  cents  from  the  dead  man's 
wallet  and  threw  the  wooden  weapon 
away.  \\\e  train  was  nearing  Merced.  He 
dropped  off  about  a  mile  from  the  city 
limits.  A  little  later  he  climbed  aboard  a 
northbound  train.  The  world  was  full  of 
escape  routes. 

The  case  of  Arvid  Ostlund  in  Rose- 
ville  was  not  much  different  from  the 
others.  The  victim  was  sleeping  peace- 
fully when  Gomez  almost  stumbled  over 
him.  Ostlund  looked  prosperous  and  there 
was  such  a  nice,  fat  rock  nearby.  Gomez 
estimated  later  that  it  weighed  twenty 
pounds,  ht  any  rate  it  was  effective.  It 
took  fewer  blows  than  usual  to  kill  the 
sleeping  man.  But  he  had  guessed  wrong 
from  a  money  standpoint.  Ostlund's  pock- 
ets only  yielded  one  dollar. 

The  death  of  Ostlund  was  immediately 
responsible  for  the  extraordinary  meeting 
called  by  George  Brereton  on  July  18, 
1951.  The  meeting,  together  with  the  de- 
scription of  the  crimes  which  the  killer 
had  committeed  were  publicized  through- 
out the  state.  Gomez  read  of  the  mysteri- 
ous killer  without  emotion.  He  doubted 
that  they  would  catch  him.  According  to 
the  story  they  had  been  looking  for  him 
a  long  time  without  success.  Besides,  they 
were  not  one  hundred  per  cent  right. 
Some  crimes  mentioned  by  Brereton  he 
had  not  been  responsible  for. 

It  was  peach  picking  time  when  he  ar- 
rived in  ]VIarysville.  Early  August.  Go- 
mez was  flat  broke.  He  was  a  little  bit 
desperate  when  he  threw  sand  in  the  eyes 
of  the  man  on  the  banks  of  the  Feather 
River,  then  crushed  his  skull  with  a  brick. 
He  found  the  technique  quite  satisfactory, 
however.  The  brick  was  effective  weapon 
and  the  victim  died  quickly.  The  job  was 
not  profitable,  though.  All  he  netted  was 
twenty-one  cents.  He  hopped  a  south- 
bound freight  in  search  of  greener  pas- 
tures. 

Ray  Chester  Hansen  hopped  aboard  a 
steel  gondola  as  it  pulled  out  of  Modesto 
on  the  night  of  August  16,  1951.  It  was 
a  balmy  evening,  too  hot  for  those  con- 
fined to  houses.  The  music  of  the  rolling 
wheels  was  almost  a  lullaby.  Hansen  fell 
asleep  almost  imediately.  He  was  resting 
peacefully  when  the  slim  figure  slid  over 
the  edge  of  the  gondola  and  dropped  in- 
side. As  usual  there  was  a  two  by  four 
handy.  Gomez  went  right  to  work.  A  few 
moments  later  Hansen's  head  was  crushed 
beyond  recognition  and  the  killer  was 
richer.  But  not  much  richer.  The  take 
was  less  than  five  dollars. 

The  next  morning  Sheriff  Don  Cox  of 
Sacramento  County  and  his  men  disco\- 
ered  thev  had  a  murder  case  on  their 
hands.   The  only  trouble   was  the   body

was  found  in  a  railroad  car  and  they 
could  not  tell  what  county  it  had  been 
committed  in.  Sheriff  Cox  called  Barney 
Huse  of  the  C.I.I,  and  Sacramento 
County  was  officially  invited  to  enter  the 
chase  for  the  mysterious  jungle  killer. 

Huse  and  his  partner,  Ralph  Davis, 
had  been  working  almost  endlessly  on  the 
mysterious  will-o-the-whisp  of  the  hobo 
trails  since  the  July  meeting.  Little  by 
little  they  had  compared  notes,  collected 
e\idence  and  examined  witnesses  until 
they  had  almost  been  able  to  construct  a 
visual  image  of  the  phantom  killer.  Sus- 
pects were  arrested  and  released.  Each 
month  they  felt  they  were  hotter  on  the 
trail,  but  they  never  quite  attained  com- 
plete success. 

The  year  1951  passed  without  any 
further  jungle  deaths  folowing  the  mur- 
iler  of  Hansen.  Huse  and  Davis  won- 
dered if  their  phantom  had  left  the  coun- 
try. Then  the  break  came  in  a  way  which 
astounded  all  of  California. 

Early  in  January  a  slim  man,  violenth 
angry,  was  collared  by  a  Sacramento  po- 
liceman while  chasing  another  man  down 
an  alley  in  the  cit\'s  west  end  with  a 
wine  bottle.  There  was  no  doubt  about 
the  pursuer's  intentions,  but  the  only  logi- 
cal complaining  witness  had  kept  right  on 
running  after  the  policeman  intervened  in 
his  behalf.  The  net  result  was  that  all 
the  Sacramento  police  could  charge  the 
culprit  with  was  vagrancy.  He  was  sen- 
tenced to  serve  sixty  days  in  the  Sacra- 
mento Coimty  Jail.  His  name  was  Lloytl 
Gomez. 

There  was  a  scuffle  in  the  county  jail 
shortly  after  Gomez  was  imprisoned,  and 
the  new  inmate  came  out  of  it  on  the 
short  end.  As  he  sat  in  his  cell,  fingering 
his  newly  scarred  nose,  a  peculiar  bitter- 
ness overwhelmed  him.  He  thought  of 
the  man  near  Merced  who  had  been  tired 
of  living.  Finally  he  asked  the  jailer  for 
a  pencil  and  a  piece  of  paper.  Guard  Joe 
Perini  produced  the  needed  materials. 
The  prisoner  took  them  and  started  writ- 
ing immediately. 

The  note  was  short,  but  it  was  hard 
work  for  the  poorly  educated  hobo.  He  la- 
bored on  it  for  a  half  hour  before  handing 
it  back  to  Perini. 

"This  is  for  the  head  jailer,"  he  in- 
structed. 

Perini  looked  at  the  enxelope.  It  con- 
tained four  words.  "Too  jailer."  Then, 
"Lloyd  Gomez." 

LIndersheriff  Harry  Knolls,  a  small, 
bespectacled  little  man  whom  many  claim 
is  Central  California's  outstanding  peace 
officer,  was  sitting  at  his  desk  completely 
wrapped  in  the  complex  problems  of  run- 
ning a  large  sheriff's  office  when  Perini 
approached  him.

to  bring  this  to  the  head  jailer,"  he  an- 
nounced, grinning.  "I  guess  that's  you." 

Knoll  returned  the  smile.  "That's  me 
all  right,"  he  replied,  taking  the  note. 

The  undersheriff  adjusted  his  glasses 
and  read  the  mesage.  He  chuckled  to  him- 
self when  he  was  half  way  through. 

"Boy,  this  guy  is  really  ready  for  the 
booby  hatch,"  he  announced  to  the  world 
at  large.  Then  he  finished  reading  the 
note.  When  he  read  the  last  line  his  smile 
changed  to  a  frown.  He  reread  the  mes- 
sage, still  frowning,  then  got  up  and  en- 
tered another  room.  He  handed  the  paper 
to  a  detective. 

George  L.  Louderback  read  the  mes- 
sage, then  laughed  heartily.  "Roy,  I've 
seen  a  lot  of  men  blow  their  tops  while 
they  were  in  the  clink,  but  this  one  has 
gone  all  out.  He's  really  nuts." 

"I  don't  know,"  Knoll  declared.  "Read 
the  last  line." 

Louderback  glanced  back  at  the  note, 
then  frowned.  "You  mean  that  guy  out 
in  the  hobo  jungle.  What  was  his  name?" 
He  paused  and  started  searching  through 
his  files.  His  partner,  Melvin  Reese 
looked  up. 

"^'ou  mean  Cunningham,"  he  an- 
nounced. 

"That's  right.  Cunningham.  He  was 
shot  six  times  all  right.  It  won't  hurt  too 
look  into  this  angle.  The  guy  is  probably 
nuts,  but  who  knows?" 

"How  would  he  know  the  guy  was 
shot  six  times?"  Knoll  demanded. 

"He  could  have  read  it  in  the  papers," 
Louderback  replied.  "Aiuway,  we  might 
as  well  question  him." 

"You  and  Reese  get  started,"  Knoll 
instructed.  "I'm  going  to  take  this  note 
to  the  Sheriff." 

Sheriff  Don  Cox,  like  the  others  before 
him.  was  inclined  to  laugh  at  the  note  at 
first.  It  was  incredible.  It  read: 

"All  in  California,"  followed  by  an  il- 
legible date. 

"I  killed  one  Indiamnen  ORovili. 
1951." 

"I  killed  one  White  men  at  Marysxille 

"I  killed  1  men  at  roseville  51 

"I  killed  1  man  at  Stockton 

"I  killed  one  man  at  merced 

"T  shot  1  men  6  time  in  jungile  Sacra- 
mento." 

The  note  was  signed,  "Lloyd  Gomez." 

By  the  time  Sheriff  Cox  and  Knoll  en- 
tered the  room  where  Louderback  and 
Reese  were  interviewing  the  prisoner  thev 
discovered  the  detectives'  skepticism  had 
changed  to  amazement. 

"He  knows  every  detail  of  the  case," 
Louderback  told  Cox.  "We're  checking 
him  with  our  file.  He  must  have  done  it." 

Gomez  continued  talking,  ■\^'^1en  he 
had  finished  he  had  outlined  every  small  '

detail  of  the  murder  of  ^Varre^  Hood 
Cunningham.  He  was  taken  to  the  scene 
of  the  crime  and  there  he  showed  the  de- 
tectives things  which  only  the  killer 
could  have  known.  Later  in  the  day  Mike 
Gilbert,  who  had  called  the  police,  iden- 
tified him  as  having  been  in  the  area  that 
day.  A  second  man  corroborated  his  testi- 
mony. Joe  Cabbage,  because  of  his  poor 
eyesight,  was  not  able  to  identify  the  man. 
However,  he  was  able  to  tentatively  iden- 
tify the  voice. 

Sheriff  Cox  called  Huse  and  Davis. 
The  two  C.I.I,  men  hurried  over  to 
question  the  killer.  They  too  discovered 
that  the  man  knew  and  remembered  de- 
tails which  only  the  murderer  could  have 
been  aware  of  in  the  six  crimes  he  had 
listed.  They  probed  his  memory  and  dis- 
covered there  were  thre  crimes  he  had 
committed  he  had  neglected  to  list. 

"A  man  can't  remember  e\erything,  " 
Gomez  complained.  Then  he  proceeded 
to  give  minute  descriptions  of  the  killings. 
He  even  remembered  a  pair  of  trousers 
he  had  left  on  the  train  with  Hansen. 

There  is  a  patch  on  the  leg,"  he  told 
officers.  "It's  a  darker  brown  than  the 
pants." 

Knoll  unrolled  a  package.  The  dark 
brown  patch  was  there.  At  the  end  of  the 
day  Huse  and  Davis  were  convinced  they 
had  their  jungle  killer. 

"He  has  cleared  up  at  least  six  of  the 
eight  crimes  we  knew  about.  The  others 
could  have  been  done  by  other  men," 
Huse  announced. 

During  the  days  that  followed  the  Sac- 
ramento County  Sheriff's  office  became  a 
sort  of  convention  headquarters  for  po- 
licemen in  the  far  west.  To  Knoll  it 
seemed  that  every  sheriff  west  of  the 
Rockies  wired  inquiries  to  him.  Gomez 
stubbornly  maintained,  however,  that  he 
had  only  killed  in  California.  As  time 
passed  he  outlined  his  crimes  to  the  offi- 
cers of  the  afifected  counties,  each  time 
with  astounding  accuracy.  The  improper 
dates  were  the  only  fla\\'  in  his  accounts. 

A  peculiar  situation  existed  in  the  case 
of  Gomez.  Although  he  has  confessed  to 
nine  murders,  he  can  only  be  tried  for 
one,  or  at  most  two  at  a  time.  The  officers 
have  decided  to  try  him  first  on  the  charge 
of  killing  Cunningham  because,  no  mat- 
ter whether  Gomez  recants  some  time  in 
the  future  or  not,  they  have  a  strong 
case  against  him. 

"It  was  the  one  time  he  departed  from 
his  faithful  modus  operandi,"  Huse  ex- 
plained. "Normally  he  never  killed  in 
front  of  witnesses  or  with  a  gun.  The 
gun  and  the  witnesses  mean  the  end  of 
him." 

There  seems  to  be  little  likelihood  that 
Gomez  will  recant,  however.  "When  asked 
why  he  suddenly  confessed  he  shrugged

his  shoulders  and  remarked.  "I  don't 
know.  I  guess  I'm  getting  weak." 

The  gas  chamber  ?  It  does  not  seem  to 
worry  the  killer.  'Life  is  no  good  any- 
way," he  insists.  "It  is  the  best  way  out." 

A  short  time  after  his  confession,  Knoll 
was  discussing  the  case  with  a  Sacramento 
reporter.  "It's  funny,"  he  remarked.  "If 
Gomez  had  killed  one  more  man  we 
would  have  had  a  repetition  in  real  life 
of  the  poem.  Remember  it  ?  Ten  Little 
Indians." 

The  reporter  looked  thoughtful,  then 
grinned.  "It  almost  works  the  other  way 
around.  Try  this  one.  Eight  little  hobos, 
buried  in  a  line,  Gomez  found  a  big  rock 
and  then  there  were  nine," 

Gomez  was  executed  early  this  year 
at  San  Quentin  prison. 

SUMMER  IS  CRITICAL 

\W\x\\  schools  closed  for  summer  vaca- 
tion, children  naturally  are  on  the  streets 
a  greater  portion  of  the  time,  playing,  go- 
ing to  and  fro  and  even  running  out  into 
the  thoroughfare  from  their  playgrounds. 
As  a  result,  accident  rates  involving  boys 
and  girls  have  shown  an  upward  trend 
during  vacation  months  for  many  years 
past. 

The  California  State  Automobile  Asso- 
ciation points  out  that  as  a  result  of  this 
increased  exposure  to  hazard,  motorists 
must  accept  additional  responsibility  for 
driving  safely  in  areas  where  youngsters 
are  likely  to  be  encountered.  The  Asso- 
ciation also  reminds  parents  that  they  can 
assist  in  promoting  the  safety  of  their  own 
and  the  neighbors'  children. 

Urge  your  children  to  play  in  the  \ard 
rather  than  on  the  streets.  Park  your  car 
in  the  garage  instead  of  leaving  it  at  the 
curb;  children  who  dart  out  from  behind 
parked  cars  are  exposed  to  danger.  Locate 
the  nearest  park  or  playground  and  teach 
your  children  the  safest  route  to  follow  in 
going  there.  Do  not  send  children  on  er- 
rands which  require  them  to  cross  busy 
streets. 

EMERGENCY  BRAKES 

On  many  makes  of  automobiles  it  is 
good  practice  to  apply  the  foot  brake  be- 
fore setting  the  emergency  brake,  advises 
the  California  State  Automobile  Associa- 
tion. 

Not  only  is  it  easier  to  set  the  emer- 
gency brake  securely  when  the  foot  brake 
is  being  applied  simultaneously,  but  there 
is  less  chance  of  straining  the  emergency 
brake  mechanism. 

Also,  if  brakes  are  not  in  tip-top  condi- 
tion, there  is  some  possibility  of  air  enter- 
ing the  system,  thus  reducing  brake  effici- 
ency, when  the  foot  brake  is  not  first  ap- 
plied. 

This  procedure  does  not  apply  on  cars 
equipped  with  emergency  brakes  that  op- 
erate on  the  driveshaft.

The  committee  of  judges  for  the  lACP 
awards  consisted  of  Cyrille  Leblanc,  im- 
mediate past  president  of  the  Association 
and  retired  chief  of  police  of  Gardner, 
Mass.,  who  served  as  chairman;  Chief  I. 
B.  Bruce,  Colorado  Spring,  Colo.,  first 
vice  president  of  the  Association,  and  Col. 
Francis  C.  Grevemberg,  superintendent, 
Louisiana  State  Police.  The  judges  were 
assisted  by  J.  D.  Hill  and  George  E. 
Grotz,  field  representatives  of  the  Na- 
tional Safety  Council,  Chicago. 

This  was  the  sixth  year  that  the  Inter- 
national Association  of  Chiefs  of  Police 
has  honored  police  agencies  for  excellence 
in  traffic  work.  The  awards  are  based  on 
evaluation  of  enforcement  reports  of  cities 
and  states  in  the  Annual  Inventory  of 
Traffic  Safety  Activities.  Twenty  per 
cent  of  the  total  scoring  credit  is  allo- 
cated to  facilities  and  methods  and  80 
per  cent  to  actual  enforcement  perform- 
ance. Evaluation  is  guided  by  recommen- 
dations of  the  Enforcement  Committee 
of  the  President's  Highway  Safety  Con- 
ference and  the  Traffic  Committee  of  the 
lACP,  and  by  comparison  with  perform- 
ances reported  by  other  cities  and  states. 
Evaluation  information  is  provided  by  the 
National  Safety  Council,  administrative 
agency  for  the  Annual  Inventory. 

Judging  of  the  National  Traffic  Safety 
Contest  is  based  on  overall  traffic  safety 
activities  of  cities  and  states,  as  submitted 
in  reports  to  the  Annual  Inventory.  Win- 
ners of  the  1953  National  Traffic  Safety 
Contest  were  announced  earlier  this 
month.

have  appeared  before  in  the  winner's 
circle  in  their  various  divisions  and 
groups. 

Oklahoma  has  been  the  most  consistent 
winner,  having  taken  a  first-place  award 
every  year  since  the  competition  was  es- 
tablished. Los  Angeles  and  Washington, 
D.C.,  have  won  four  previous  awards, 
and  Dallas  and  the  States  of  Washington 
and  California,  three  each. 


HEEL  AT  WHEEL 

Are  you  a  heel  at  the  wheel  ? 

The  Me-Firster  —  this  is  the  selfish 
competitive  character  who  must  be  first 
away  from  the  traffic  light,  can't  stand  to 
have  anyone  pass  him,  and  risks  the  life 
of  anyone  who  gets  in  his  way. 

The  Big  I  —  this  is  the  fellow  who  is 
too  big  for  the  rules.  Others  can  obey  the 
law  and  a  code  of  decent  and  courteous 
behavior,  but  not  this  self-inflated  big 
shot.  He's  above  all  that. 

The  Know-It- All — this  driver  is  good, 
in  his  own  estimation.  He  knows  just 
what  the  other  driver  is  going  to  do,  just 
how  fast  he  can  stop,  just  how  much  room 
he  needs  to  cut  in  on  another  car.  But  the 
only  way  this  over-confident  jerk  escapes 
painful  disillusionment  is  that  the  really 
good  drivers  give  him  a  wide  berth. 

The  Swashbuckler — this  fellow  thinks 
he  expresses  his  masculinity  or  something 
by  living  dangerously  behind  the  wheel. 
He  believes  that  he  who  hesitates  is  lost, 
and  that  his  luck  will  hold  forever. 

The  Sorehead  —  this  fellow  is  just 
plain  hostile.  He  drives  with  a  chip  on 
his  shoulder  and  is  ready  to  lock  fenders 
for  any  real  or  imagined  wrong.  He's 
sore  at  everyone,  and  very  brave  while 
surrounded  by  a  steel  automobile  with  the 
windows  rolled  up. 

The  Show-Off — this  is  the  exhibition- 
ist. He's  graduated  from  no  hands  on  a 
bike  to  no  sense  at  the  wheel.  He  just 
wants  people  to  admire  his  flashy  per- 
formance, but  most  other  drivers  are  too 
busy  getting  out  of  his  way. 

Take  a  good,  long  look  at  yourself  in 
one  of  these  mirrors.  See  anything? 


TIE  THAT  GRINDS 

It  really  doesn't  matter  much  which 
of  two  cars  reaches  an  intersection  first, 
says  the  California  State  Automobile  As- 
sociation. It's  the  tie  that  causes  trouble. 
Let  the  other  fellow  have  the  light  of 
way  ;  it  costs  less  than  fenders. 


WARNING  SIGNALS 

When  you  see  the  amber  traflSc  light 
flash  on,  it's  time  to  stop,  asserts  the  Cali- 
fornia State  Automobile  Association. 
"Trying  to  beat  the  red  light"  is  a  pro- 
lific cause  of  accidents.

PHYSICIAN   IN  COURTROOM 

"Physician  in  the  Courtroom,"  first 
volume  in  Western  Reserve  University's 
new  Law-Medicine  Series,  will  be  issued 
June  20  by  the  W  R  U  Press. 

Publication  date  coincides  with  the  op- 
ening of  the  Institute  of  Science  in  Law 
Enforcement,  which  will  bring  nearly 
100  law  officers  to  the  Western  Reserve 
campus,  Cleveland,  Ohio,  for  the  week- 
long  program. 

In  the  98-page  book  "Physician  in  the 
Courtroom,"  four  W  R  U  faculty  men 
who  are  leaders  in  their  fields  comprise 
a  symposium  to  discuss  problems  of  the 
medical  profession  as  related  to  the  law. 

Contributors  to  the  discussion  are:  Dr. 
Clinton  DeWitt,  professor  of  law  at 
Western  Reserve;  Dr.  Samuel  R.  Gerber, 
coroner  of  Cuyahoga  County  (Cleve- 
land), Ohio,  and  a  associate  in  legal  medi- 
cine on  the  staff  of  the  W  R  U  Institute  of 
Pathology;  Dr.  Alan  R.  Moritz,  director 
of  the  Institute  of  Pathology;  and  Dr. 
Lester  Adelson,  deputy  coroner  and  chief 
pathologist  in  the  Cuyahoga  County  coro- 
ner's office,  and  instructor  in  legal  medi- 
cine at  the  Institute  of  Pathology. 

Opening  section  of  the  book  is  by  Dr. 
DeWitt.  In  Medical  Ethics  and  the  Law 
he  discusses  the  physician's  dillema

CHP  TRAINING  PERIOD 

"So  you  want  to  be  a  state  traffic  offi- 
cer?" 

This  question  received  an  affirmative 
answer  from  thousands  of  ambitious 
young  Californians  last  year  and  the  first 
results  of  the  questioning  will  be  seen  in 
July  when  80  prospective  officers  report 
at  the  California  Highway  Patrol's  mod- 
ern Academy  for  a  gruelling  three  months 
training  period. 

I'he  80  are  the  first  called  from  the 
eligibility  list  established  by  the  State 
Personnel  Board  following  the  last  state- 
wide examination  which  attracted  more 
than  5,000  applicants.  After  a  rigid  weed- 
ing out  process,  a  strict  written  examina- 
tion, a  careful  personal  analysis  and  a 
physical  check-up,  fewer  than  600  of  the 
original  number  survived.  1  he  80  are 
part  of  the  200  additional  officer  personnel 
allowed  by  the  legislature  at  this  year's 
session  and  it  is  planned  to  complete  the 
training  of  the  entire  200  before  Julv  1, 
1955. 

Today's  traffic  officers  come  from  all 
walks  of  life  and  from  all  parts  of  the 
state.  All  have  had  at  least  a  high  school 
education  and  a  number  are  college 
graduates.  Many  are  veterans. 

Before  they  get  on  the  job,  however, 
they  will  go  through  a  course  of  training 
covering  54  subjects,  all  related  to  some 
phase  of  their  future  work.  Experts  from 
within  the  Patrol  and  outstanding  repre- 
sentatives from  federal,  state  and  private 
agencies  are  on  the  Academy  faculty,  all 
working  on  a  curriculum  which  has  re- 
ceived highest  praise  from  educational  as 
well  as  law  enforcement  leaders.  Traffic 
laws,  court  procedures,  first  aid,  unarmed 
defense,  accident  investigation,  public  re- 
lations and  many  more  subjects  fill  the 
hours  and  evenings  of  the  men  who  for 
12  weeks  will  eat  and  sleep  in  the  group 
of  new  buildings  six  miles  south  of  Sacra- 
mento. 

Their  assignments  following  training 
will  be  determined  on  various  factors  in- 
cluding high  accident  frequency  and 
critical  manpower  shortage. 

"Naturally  we  are  pleased  to  have  the 
200  additional  men  the  legislature 
granted  us  this  year,"  said  Commissioner 
B.  R.  Caldwell.  "However,  that  number 
will  bring  the  total  Patrol  uniformed 
personnel  to  only  approximately  1 700, 
far  too  few  for  efficient  handling  of  Cali- 
fornia's serious  traffic  accident  problem. 
We  need  at  least  another  1 ,000  men  to 
give  the  type  of  protection  necessary  in  a 
state  with  more  than  six  million  vehicles 
travelling  nearly  sixty  billion  miles  each 
year. 

"So  far  in  1954  our  rural  accident  pic- 
ture is  encouraging  but  we  cannot  relax.

AFRAID  OF  THE  DARK? 

Afraid  of  the  dark?  It's  a  good  idea. 

When  night  falls  the  traffic  death  toll 
shows  a  sharp  increase — both  in  rural 
areas  and  in  cities,  according  to  reports 
compiled  from  throughout  the  nation  by 
the  National  Safety  Council. 

"The  fatal  accident  rate  is  three  times 
as  great  during  the  hours  of  darkness  as 
in  daylight  hours.  This  means  that,  des- 
pite the  vastly  reduced  travel  at  night, 
three  out  of  five  traffic  deaths  happen  be- 
tween sunset  and  dawn,"  states  Arnold 
E.  Archibald,  president  of  the  Council's 
San  Francisco  Chapter. 

Archibald  cited  two  violations  of  traffic 
laws  as  being  the  principal  factors  in  the 
high  night-time  traffic  toll.  Failure  to  dim 
lights  is  a  leading  cause  of  crashes  during 
the  hours  after  dark,  Archibald  said. 
(Section  64'5.b,  California  Vehicle  Code, 
states:  "Whenever  the  driver  of  a  vehicle 
approaches  an  oncoming  vehicle  within 
500  feet,  such  driver  shall  use  a  distribu- 
tion of  light  or  composite  beam  so  aimed 
that  the  glaring  rays  are  not  projected 
into  the  eyes  of  the  oncoming  driver  .  .  .") 

Too  much  speed  for  night  hours — 
over-driving  the  headlights — is  the  top 
cause  of  night-time  highway  tragedies, 
the  safety  leader  asserted. 

"Most  drivers  consider  that  if  a  speed 
of  55  is  a  safe  speed  in  daylight  hours, 
the  same  speed  is  all  right  at  night.  This 
is  not  the  case,  however,  as  has  been 
proved  by  the  nation's  top  test  drivers  un- 
der varying  conditions  on  carefully  pre- 
pared proving  grounds.  Actually,  if  a 
maximum  speed  of  55  m.p.h.  is  considered 
safe  for  daylight  driving,  this  speed 
should  be  reduced  at  least  10  miles  per 
hour  after  dark.  In  rainy  or  foggy 
weather  an  even  greater  reduction  should 
be  made,"  Archibald  said. 

Archibald  also  warned  that  lights  are 
supposed  to  be  turned  on  between  one- 
half  hour  after  sunset  and  one-half  hour 
before  dawn  during  clear  weather.  Sec- 
tion 618. a  of  the  California  Vehicle  Code 
states:  "Every  vehicle  upon  a  highway  at 
any  time  from  a  half-hour  after  sunset  to 
a  half-hour  before  sunrise  and  at  any 
other  time  when  there  is  not  sufficient 
light  to  clearly  see  any  person  or  vehicle 
on  the  highway  at  a  distance  of  200  feet 
shall  be  equipped  with  lighted  lamps  and 
lighting  devices  .  .  ."

GROWING  OLDER 

"The  older  people  grow,  the  older  they 
want  to  grow." 

This  statement  is  based  on  a  recent 
California  Highway  Patrol  survey  into 
ages  of  drivers  involved  in  accidents,  and 
the  violations  responsible. 

The  survey,  conducted  during  IVJarch, 
1954,  indicates  drivers  between  18  and 
22  live  most  dangerously  or  at  least  have 
the  highest  percentage  of  .iccidents.  Fif- 
teen per  cent  of  all  traffic  crashes  where 
violations  were  committed  found  a  driv- 
er in  the  18  to  22  age  bracket  at  fault. 

People  between  38  and  4-2  were  respon- 
sible for  9.3  per  cent  of  the  accidents 
caused  by  violation,;,  ,md  drivers  58  to  62 
years  of  age  were  held  accountable  in  only 
3.1  per  cent  of  the  cases.  One  person, 
aged  87,  was  cited  for  speeding  after  an 
accident. 

Survey  results  again  show  excessive 
speed  as  the  most  dangerous  factor  in 
traffic.  Speed  was  the  violation  responsi- 
ble for  32.9  per  cent  of  all  accidents 
studied.  Second  most  dangerous  driving 
error  was  violation  of  right-of-way,  ac- 
counting for  13.4  per  cent  of  the  acci- 
dents. Improper  turns  ranked  third,  caus- 
ing 8.5  per  cent  of  the  collisions. 

A  nati-^e  of  Dover,  Vtw  Hampshire, 
Mr.  McCabe  was  graduaterl  from  the 
University  of  Maine  \n  1932  and  ioined 
the  Maine  State  Police  in  ]"34.  He  at- 
tended the  first  traffic  police  administra- 
tion course  at  the  i  lafir-  Institute  of 
Northwestern  Universitv'  in  1936-37  on 
a  fellowship  provided  bv  the  Kemper 
Foundation  for  Traffic  Safety. 

He  was  director  of  the  Division  of 
Traffic  and  Safety  of  the  Maine  State 
Police  from  July,  1937,  until  he  entered 
the  Army  in  November,  1940.  He  served 
as  provost  marshal  and  did  public  safr'tv' 
work  in  this  countrv,  Canada,  and  in  the 
European  theater  of  operations.  He  was 
released  from  active  dutv  as  a  lieutenant 
colonel  in  October,  1945,  and  returned  to 
the  Maine  State  Police. 

In  April,  1946,  he  was  granted  a  lenve 
of  absence  to  become  warden  of  the 
Maine  State  Prison.  He  served  in  this 
capacitv  until  October,  1948,  when  he 
returned  to  the  State  Police  as  chief. 

Active  in  the  International  Association 
of  Chiefs  of  Police,  Mr.  McCabe  has 
served  as  resrional  and  general  chTirm.in 
of  the  lACP  State  and  Provincial  S"ction 
and  as  a  member  of  the  Associatio'i's  In- 
ternational Relations  Committee. 

He  is  a  prraduate  of  the  Harvard  Med- 
ico-Legal School  of  Police  Science.

SAFETY  PATROL 

(Continued  from  page  5) 
guarded  crossing  in  the  31  years  since  it 
was  organized. 

Joseph  R.  Knowland,  California  State 
Automobile  Association  Public  'Safety 
Committee  chairman,  presided.  Among 
the  distinguished  guests  he  introduced 
was  Governor  Goodwin  J.  Knight  who 
reminded  the  Patrol  members : 

"Safety  is  not  a  luxury — it  is  a  neces- 
sity. Keep  up  the  good  work.  Keep  safe." 

District  Attorney  Thomas  C.  Lynch, 
speaker  of  the  day,  told  the  Patrols : 

"You  are  here  to  receive  the  thanks, 
congratulations  and  tribute  of  the  people 
of  San  Francisco  for  a  job  well  done." 

Superintendent  of  Schools  Herbert  C. 
Clish  and  Reverend  James  N.  Brown, 
archdiocesan  superintendent  of  schools, 
both  warmly  commended  the  youthful 
traffic  specialists  for  their  fine  work. 

Police  Inspector  Thomas  B.  Tracy, 
who  is  in  charge  of  training  the  Patrols, 
and  his  assistants.  Sergeant  Matthew 
Duffy,  and  Officers  Philip  Lindecker  and 
Charles  Maggioncalda,  led  the  parade. 

After  the  eleven  battalions  had  passed 
in  review,  the  Efficiency  Awards,  pro- 
vided by  the  California  State  Automobile 
Association,  were  presented  to  the  win- 
ning Patrols  by  Deputy  Chief  of  Police 
George  Healy  representing  Chief  Mic- 
hael Gaffey,  Colonel  of  the  Patrol  Regi- 
ment.

"The  School  Safety  Patrol  is  the  most 
effective  safety  movement  ever  developed 
to  protect  children  from  traffic  hazards. 
Loss  of  life  and  limb  among  our  school- 
age  youngster  would  be  appalling  without 
it."

Rabbi  Elliot  Burstein,  chaplain  of  the 
San  Francisco  Police  Department,  offered 
the  invocation.  Gary  Stroth  of  the  Mis- 
sion Dolores  School  Safety  Patrol  then 
led  the  assemblage  in  the  Pledge  of  Alle- 
giance to  the  Flag. 

The  Patrols  were  drilled  for  the  re- 
view by  R.O.T.C.  instructors  from  the

of  Major  John  J.  MacArthur. 

Music  for  the  marching  battalions  was 
provided  by  four  bands  under  the  super- 
vision of  Charles  M.  Dennis,  Director 
of  Music,  San  Francisco  Public  Schools.

FIRST  GRADUATES 

May  14  marked  the  graduation  of  the 
first  group  of  men  to  complete  a  full 
course  of  professional,  in-service  training 
in  the  licensing  of  drivers. 

7  hirteen  men  from  13  states — Arkan- 
sas, Delaware,  Florida,  Kentucky,  Lou- 
isiana, Maine,  Maryland,  Montana, 
North  Caroline,  North  Dakota,  Okla- 
homa, Te.xas  and  Vermont — who  have 
attended  a  four-year  series  of  courses  in 
dri\er  licensing  conducted  by  the  Ameri- 
can Association  of  Motor  Vehicle  Ad- 
ministrators received  graduation  certif- 
icates today  from  the  Traffic  Institute  of 
Northwestern  University. 

Along  with  13  other  men  enrolled  in 
the  three-week  course,  "Examiner  Rec- 
ords and  Their  Uses,"  these  students  rep- 
resented 25  states  and  Canada,  and  are 
responsible  for  the  licensing  of  appro.xi- 
mately  35  million  drivers. 

1  uition  scholarships  for  each  session 
have  been  given  the  students  by  the 
Farmer's  Insurance  Group  Safety  Foun- 
dation, Los  Angeles. 

L.  S.  Harris,  executive  director  of 
AA.MVA,  was  the  guest  speaker  at  a 
kmcheon  for  the  graduating  examiners 
held  at  the  Orrington  Hotel  in  Evanston 
this  afternoon. 

Discussing  driver  licensing,  Mr.  Har- 
ris said:  "Great  expenditures  for  the  im- 
provement of  both  highways  and  motor 
\  ehicles  have  been  undertaken  in  the  past 
to  decrease  the  accident  rate  and  increase 
traffic  safety.  In  recent  years,  however, 
it  has  been  increasingly  realized  that  the 
improvement  of  the  driver  is  equally,  if 
not  more,  important  to  the  improvement 
of  safety  records.  We  believe  that  if  all 
drivers  were  as  good  as  the  best,  traffic 
acidents  in  the  LTnited  States  could  be 
reduced  by  more  than  90  per  cent." 

The  three  courses  in  the  series  given 
earlier  were:  "Standards  for  Driver  Ex- 
aminations" in  1951  ;  "Administration  of 
Dri\er  License  Examinations"  in  1952; 
and  "Selection  and  Training  of  Driver 
License  Examiners"  in  1953. 

J.  Stannard  Baker,  director  of  research 
for  the  1  raffic  Institute,  who  was  instru- 
mental in  the  development  of  this  four- 
year  program  said:  "These  13  chief  ex- 
aminers represent  close  to  25  percent  of 
the  country's  chief  examining  officers. 
This  is  a  significant  accomplishment  in 
the  professional  training  of  the  nation's 
top  examining  personnel." 

"This  training  program  for  chief  ex- 
aminers has  been  split  into  four  three- 
week  units  because  the  men  can  rarely  be 
spared  from  their  jobs  longer,"  explained 
Glenn  V.  Carmichael,  director  of  the 
course.  Mr.  Carmichael  is  a  member  of

SHORT  COURSES 

Three  short  courses  for  police  will  be 
conducted  at  the  Traffic  Institute  of 
Northwestern  University  in  Evanston 
this  fall. 

They  are:  Police  Traffic  Training,  an 
introduction  to  police  traffic  supervision, 
Sept.  13  to  Oct.  1;  Accident  Investiga- 
tion Administration  and  Techniques, 
Oct.  4  to  22,  and  Traffic  Law  Enforce- 
ment Administration  and  Techniques, 
Oct.  18  to  Nov.  5. 

Important  areas  of  management  will 
be  covered  during  the  week  in  which  the 
accident  investigation  and  traffic  law  en- 
forcement cour.ses  overlap.  These  areas 
are  offered  for  both  courses  at  the  same 
time  because  the  management  principles 
apply  equally  to  both  fields  of  police 
work. 

The  Police  Traffic  Training  Course 
gives  a  broad  description  of  the  traffic 
problem,  indicates  those  who  are  respons- 
ible for  reducing  accidents  and  relieving 
congestion,  and  gives  particular  emphasis 
to  the  role  of  the  police  in  this  field. 

All  three  courses  are  part  of  a  series 
of  integrated  short  courses  developed  by 
the  Traffic  Institute  to  train  key  police 
personnel  in  specific  traffic  functions.

YOUNGEST  POLICE  CHIEF 

(Continued  from  page  7 ) 
The  training  program  now  includes 
60  hours  of  Federal  Bureau  of  Investiga- 
tion training,  covering  general  patrol 
duties,  observation,  mobile  arrests,  house 
searches,  crime  scene  searches  and  so 
forth.  The  men  have  also  received  a  two 
week  course  in  police  administration. 

Captain  Webb,  who  was  a  sergeant 
until  February,  1954,  was  promoted  to 
his  present  rank  within  thirty  days  after 
Chief  Berlin  took  over.  The  50  hour 
work  week  then  in  effect  was  reduced  to 
48  hours. 

The  city  council  at  present  has  under 
consideration  the  request  for  two  addi- 
tional patrolmen,  pay  increases  and  one 
additional  automobile.  About  200  investi- 
gations a  month  keep  the  little  force 
busy.  Arrests  average  about  60  a  month 
not  counting  parking  or  traffic  violations. 
A  more  rigid  training  program  has 
been  planned  for  the  next  si.x  months  in- 
cluding a  course  on  narcotic  investiga- 
tions. 

Since  Berlin  took  over  the  department 
he  has  installed  a  new  records  system 
which  can  be  expanded  from  10,000  to 
100,000  cards  without  exorbitant  ex- 
pense. Prior  to  February  only  arrest 
records  had  been  kept  by  the  department. 
Berlin  gives  credit  for  his  career  to 
Chief  Al  Huntsman  of  Santa  Cruz  who, 
he  says,  always  made  the  best  training 
program  on  the  Pacific  Coast,  available 
to  all  his  officers.

SOUSA  WINS  AGAIN 

(Continued  from  page  S) 

no  prep  school,  however.  He  attended 
the  Federal  Bureau  of  Investigation  Na- 
tional Police  Academy  in  ^Vashington 
and  returned  well  versed  in  up-to-date 
methods  which  would  improve  the  San 
Joaquin  County  Sheriff's  office. 

Canlis  first  turned  his  attention  to  the 
Bureau  of  Identification  which  had  long 
been  a  matter  of  pride  to  the  Stockton 
law  enforcement  agency.  The  bureau  is 
one  of  the  oldest  in  the  state.  Its  records 
include  the  first  police  identification 
photogarphs  ever  taken,  including  the 
historical  prints  turned  out  by  Captain 
I.  W.  Lees  of  the  San  Francisco  Police 
Department  in  1855.  The  records  have 
been  kept  with  painstaking  care  ever 
since.  But  this  was  not  enough  for  L^n- 
dersheriff  Canlis.  Under  Sheriff  Sousa's 
direction  he  installed  a  modern  filing 
system,  purchased  new  equipment  and 
placed  carefully  trained  men  in  charge  of 
it.  Today,  under  the  direction  of  Lieu- 
tenant P.  M.  !\Iorton  the  bureau  is 
ranked  with  the  best  in  California  and 
bow  to  none  in  the  nation. 

Politics  have  played  no  part  in  the  way 
Sousa  runs  his  office.  The  only  yardstick 
by  which  a  modern  San  Joaquin  County 
Deputy,  or  office  hand,  is  measured  is  by 
his  or  her  honesty  or  efficiency.  If  a  man 
has  what  it  takes,  he  gets  somewhere. 

To  supplement  his  none  too  large  de- 
partment. Sheriff  Sousa  has  organized 
and  maintained  a  force  of  reserve  depu- 
ties which  is  today  the  office's  pride  and 
joy.  There  is  no  swearing  in  of  informal 
deputies  in  San  Joaquin  County.  In  case 
of  emergency,  Sherif?  Sousa  can  call  on 
an  organized  reserve  of  trained,  high 
quality  men  who  will  supplement  his 
own  organization  with  equal  knowledge 
and  ability.  Selection  is  the  Sheriff's 
main  problem  with  the  reserve.  There 
are  plenty  of  volunteers,  but  few  men 
who  are  willing  to  meet  the  rigid  require- 
ments set  up  by  Sousa.  A  reserve  deputy 
on  Sheriff  Sousa's  force  must  take  the 
same  indoctrination  course  as  a  regular 
emplovee,  he  is  subjected  to  the  same 
rigid  discipline  and  must  serve  on  active 
duty  for  a  limited  number  of  hours  each 
month.  Even  then  onlv  a  few  of  the  vol- 
iMiteers  are  chosen.  Only  the  best  men 
are  picked.  Sheriff  Sousa's  reserve  force 
includes  everything  from  professional 
men  to  laborers,  but  each  one  must  meet 
the  same  high  standards. 

A  sore  point  in  the  office  from  the 
Sheriff's  point  of  view  is  the  county  jail. 
As  recently  as  last  November  a  bond 
issue  to  provide  funds  for  a  new  one  was 
turned  down  by  the  voters.

TRACY  RUNS  ON   RECORD 

(Continued  from  page  6) 

"Fifth  and  last  item  on  my  program 
was  increasing  mobile  patrols  for  the  pro- 
tection of  the  County's  unincorporated 
areas.  Three  were  put  into  operation,  in 
addition  to  the  three  which  already  ex- 
isted. ^Vhen  the  Sherifl's  Office  went  on 
a  40-hour  week  in  July,  1953,  these 
patrols  had  to  be  called  in,  and  money 
has  not  thus  far  been  provided  to  re- 
establish them. 

"Racketeers  have  not  been  permitted 
by  my  office  to  operate  in  Fresno  County, 
and  they  will  not  be.  I  have  suffered  the 
indignities  of  unscrupulous  political  at- 
tempts to  get  me  out  of  office,  but  the 
most  brazen  of  these  was  thrown  out  by 
a  jury  of  my  peers  after  long,  extensive 
and  expensive  hearings. 

"There  will  be  no  preventable  racket- 
eering in  Fresno  County  as  long  as  I  am 
Sheriff.  Of  this,  these  undesirable  ele- 
ments may  be  dead  sure.  If  I  am  re- 
elected I  shall  continue  to  do  an  honest 
job  as  Sheriff-Coroner,  with  all  the 
ability  at  my  command,  and  without  fear 
or  favor."

in  the  first  relay  Ed  has  three  misfires  so 
with  curses  and  groans  swears  by  the 
nine  gods  that  never,  never  again  will 
cleanliness  spoil  his  day's  shooting — and 
his  scores. 

Nels  Hansen,  the  retired  Navy  CPO, 
is  now  on  his  way  to  the  old  country 
with  the  Mrs.  As  you  might  guess  Nels 
is  heading  toward  Denmark  and  is 
aboard  an  English  freighter  via  the 
Panama  CanaL  Nels  states  for  the  press 
that  he  is  not  taking  his  guns  with  him. 
Knowing  the  gent  as  I  do  that  is  a  very 
hard  story  to  s\Aallow.  I  think  one  now 
is  supposed  to  say  bon  voyage — so  be  it. 

Two  gents  that  I  know  of  were  very 
unhappy  at  the  matches  Sunday  and  all 
due  to,  let  us  say,  "faulty  ammo". 
(That's  as  good  an  excuse  as  any.)  Len 
Richardson,  from  Burlingame  had  a 
nice  miss  in  the  slow  fire  string  of  the 
2nd  match  for  an  82.  Then  it  happened. 
A  98  in  both  the  timed  and  rapid  fire 
string.  Curses,  cusses  and  gazooks!!  In 
the  .22  National  match  Jim  Dwiggins 
from  the  Vallejo  Police  Department 
starts  off  with  a  nice  65  in  the  slow  fire 
string  then  a  couple  of  92's  and  plent\'  of 
bad,  bad  words. 

I  take  it  that  Jim  Magee  likes  his 
beer  warm.  Jim  buys  a  bottle  the  first 
thing  in  the  a.m.  and  sticks  it  in  his 
pocket,  uncorked,  of  course.  All  day  long

Jim  sips  his  suds  and  seemingly  likes  the 
stuff  with  the  contented  horse  tempera- 
ture. Ugh. 

According  to  the  new  1954  hunting 
laws  any  lad  under  the  age  of  16  must 
now  have  a  license  and  certificate  from  a 
certified  instructor  that  the  youth  has 
had  the  proper  grounding  in  the  handling 
of  firearms  and  the  safety  rules  pertain- 
ing to  hunting.  As  firearm  safety  educa- 
tion is  now  an  integral  phase  of  outdoor 
education  in  California  it  is  encouraging 
to  note  that  the  program  is  meeting  with 
much  enthusiasm  throughout  the  state 
and  this  type  of  instruction  (which  by 
the  way  is  all  voluntary)  will  have  much 
to  do  with  the  cutting  down  of  accidents 
through  careless  handling  of  firearms.  A 
lot  of  sport  minded  and  safety  individuals 
have  taken  upon  themselves  to  be  a  "big 
brother"  to  these  j'oung  Dan'l  Boones 
and  "learn  'em  how  to  shoot"  a  gun  or 
pistol  without  danger  to  himself,  his 
companions  and  the  public.  It  is  the 
dream  of  every  boy  to  have  a  gun  for  his 
very  own  and  it  is  our  responsibility  as 
adults  to  educate  him  in  the  proper 
handling  of  that  "very  own"  gun.  One 
of  our  pistol  shooting  gang  has  taken 
this  to  heart  and  has  already  started  two 
classes  in  San  Mateo  where  he  is  having 
a  lot  of  fun  for  himself  and  giving  the 
boys  the  know-how  the  next  time  they  go 
out  with  dad  on  a  hunting  trip.  I  specifi- 
cally speak  of  Mike  Carrol,  who  is  pic- 
tured above  with  a  group  of  excited 
youngsters  listening,  and  learning,  the 
fundamentals  of  gunning.  Mike  sez  the 
classes  are  getting  larger  and  tho  he 
feels  all  he  can  properly  handle  is  12 
boys  to  a  class  he  sees  that  in  the  near 
future  more  classes  will  have  to  open  up. 
It's  guyj  like  Mike  that  keep  sports 
going.  Thanks,  Mike,  for  the  swell  job 
you  are  doing. 

Walt  Frey  brought  along  his  7  year 
old  son,  Freddy,  and  spent  most  of  the 
day  blackening  the  sights  on  Freddy's 
Hop-A-Long  Cassidy  gun.  Later  Walt 
confidentially  told  me  he  should  have 
used  the  kid's  gun  because  the  one  he  was 
using  wasn't  shooting  too  good  and  his 
scores  were  veddy,  veddy  what  you 
might  call  LOUSY! 

And  how  the  mighty  have  fallen — 
speaking  of  weight.  Gus  Corneer  is  now 
down  to  a  mere  shadow  of  the  Empire 
State  building  having  dropped  65 
pounds.  Gus  is  now  just  a  few  pounds 
lighter  than  a  small  freight  car  and  still 
tips  the  Fairbanks  at  a  close  267. 

Young  Johnny  Faletti  was  quite  dis- 
turbed at  not  being  with  the  men  Sunday 
but  the  doctor  said  Johnny  couldn't  do 
any  shooting.  It  was  a  kindly  gesture  on

SOUSA  WINS  AGAIN 

(Continued  from  page  S5 ) 

"Don't  get  me  wrong,"  Sheriff  Sousa 
remarked.  "Our  jail  is  a  good  one.  And 
believe  it  or  not  it  is  always  spotlessly 
clean.  Hut  it  was  built  more  than  half  a 
century  ago  for  a  maximum  of  about 
seventy  prisoners.  At  times  now  we  have 
hundreds  in  it.  The  problem  is  a  serious 
one.  But  jails  are  the  hardest  thing  in 
the  world  to  get  money  for." 

Early  in  his  career  as  Sheriff,  Sousa 
enlarged  and  improved  the  prison  system. 
He  acquired  360  acres  for  the  prison 
honor  farm  and  completed  the  erection 
of  a  modern  kitchen  and  dining  room 
which  can  accommodate  400  men.  To 
these  he  added  dormitory  buildings  with 
modern  facilities  where  men  serving  time 
for  misdemeanors  are  provided  the  best 
in  housing  and  recreation.  The  farm 
includes  a  dairy  building,  a  processing 
plant  which  takes  care  of  the  vast  vege- 
table crops  raised  there,  clean  and  sani- 
tary pens  and  corrals  for  more  than  100 
swine  and  over  20  head  of  dairy  cattle, 
a  smokehouse  for  curing  pork  for  other 
county  institutions  and  a  machine  shop. 
There  are  no  fences  around  the  farm 
and  escapes  are  few. 

Sheriff  Sousa's  record  for  honesty  and 
integrity  has  been  outstanding  among 
peace  officers  throught  the  country.  In 
San  Joaquin  County  no  one  has  ever  had 
the  temerity  to  hint  that  he  was  not 
doing  the  best  job  possible.  Even  his 
political  foes  can  only  say,  "Yes,  he  is 
doing  fine.  I  would  just  do  it  different." 
A  weak  argument  at  election  time  at 
best. 

He  kept  his  promise  to  the  late  Sheriff 
Martin  Ansbro  when  he  told  him  he 
would  run  a  clean  campaign.  When  Ans- 
bro died  and  he  stepped  into  his  shoes  he 
filled  those  of  a  fine  man.  And  he  con- 
tinued to  make  his  word  good.  He  kept 
the  office  both  clean  and  progressive. 
The  results  have  been  outstanding.  To 
date  he  is  the  administrator  of  an  office 
which  contains  as  fine  a  group  of  peace 
officers  as  there  is  in  the  state. 

The  names  of  Canlis,  Captain  Denzel 
Troute,  and  Lieutenants  Morton,  Joseph 
Hagengruber,  Andy  Tickvitza,  William 
Kates,  Elmer  Briscoe,  Loren  Brown, 
Allison  Johnson,  Frank  Esau,  Ivan  Com- 
mons and  all  others  are  known  far  be- 
yond the  limits  of  San  Joaquin  County. 
The  old  mentor  has  coached  himself  a 
good  team.  Why  did  he  switch  from 
recreation  work  to  a  peace  officer's  job? 

"Well,  I'll  tell  you,"  Sousa  explains. 
"I  always  wanted  to  be  Sheriff.  It's  a 
good  job.  I  like  it." 

The  old  coach  acts  like  he  likes  it.

hats.  Second,  there  is  one  group  of  men 
in  San  Francisco  who  seem  to  work, 
summer  and  winter,  in  snap  brim  hats 
and  topcoats.  They  are  the  members  of 
the  Inspectors'  Bureau  of  the  Police  De- 
partment. 

Miller  reentered  his  room,  grabbed 
the  Luger  with  his  free  hand,  searched 
briefly  for  his  thirty-eight  but  could  not 
find  it,  dressed,  and  headed  for  the  rear 
door.  He  was  halfway  down  the  back 
steps  when  he  saw  the  figure  of  a  man, 
flashlight  in  hand,  below  him. 

l~he  hophead's  shot  was  well  aimed. 
Dennis  Bradley  never  knew  what  hit 
him,  although  he  lived  for  hours.  As  the 
heavy  slug  coursed  through  his  cerebel- 
lum and  ripped  out  his  neck  the  inspec- 
tor took  one  step  back,  staggered,  turned, 
and  fell  soundlessly  to  his  left  side. 

Six  feet  behind  the  fallen  policeman 
Heeg  caught  sight  of  a  head  and  should- 
ers, whipped  a  25  automatic  from  his 
pocket,  and  snapped  a  shot  at  the  gun- 
man, darting  for  the  cover  of  the  garage 
as  he  did  so.  The  heavy  roar  of  the  .41 
answered  his  shot,  followed  by  an  empty 
clicking  noise.  Heeg,  thinking  that  Mil- 
ler's gun  was  empty,  moved  forward  and 
the  .41  spoke  again.  He  staggered  back  as 
a  slug  ripped  downward  through  his 
coat  and  rear  pants  pocket.

The  sound  of  a  falling  body  drew  his 
next  shots.  He  emptied  the  small  caliber 
gun  at  the  noise,  then  drew  his  service 
.38.  Another  noise  in  the  direction  of  the 
fence  drew  his  fire,  just  as  Zimmerlin 
and  Girard  dashed  out  the  rear  door. 
There  were  more  shots,  a  yell  of  anguish, 
and  Girard  tumbled  to  the  ground, 
moaning  in  agony.  Heeg  dashed  across 
the  yard  to  the  spot  where  he  had  heard 
the  last  noise,  caught  a  fleeting  glimpse 
of  a  figure  scaling  a  second  fence,  snapped 
a  shot  at  it,  then  turned  to  help  his  com- 
panions. 

Harold  Miller  knew  he  was  in  a 
worse  jam  than  he  had  ever  experienced 
in  his  trouble  studded  life  when  he  saw 
Bradley  fall.  There  was  no  doubt  in 
his  mind  that  his  victim  was  a  policeman 
and  little  that  he  was  dead.  He  answered 
Heeg's  shots,  heard  the  click  of  the 
empty  chamber  which  told  him  two  bul- 
lets were  gone,  jumped  over  the  stair 
railing  to  get  the  protection  of  the  stair- 
case, fired  one  more  shot  at  Heeg,  and 
headed  for  the  fence.  He  was  scaling  it 
when  Girard  and  Zimmerlin  burst  into 
the  area.  He  emptied  his  gun  at  them, 
heard  Girard's  shout  of  pain,  and  headed 
toward  the  second  fence.  Just  as  he 
topped  it  Heeg  fired  his  final  shot.  Mil- 
ler fell  heavily  to  the  ground  on  the 
other  side,  dropping  the  empty  .41  as  he

did  so  but  clinging  to  the  Luger.  For  ; 
moment  he  was  con\inced  he  was  hit. 
Ihe  wet,  sticky  fluid  seeping  througij 
his  left  sleeve  and  coat  had  to  be  blood 
It  was  not  until  he  had  scaled  a  thin 
fence  that  he  realized  he  had  tumblec 
into  a  muddy  puddle  of  water.  H« 
headed  down  Richland  Street  at  tof 
speed,  then  south  on  Murray. 

John  Foran  and  Leo  McCarthy,  twc 
recent  veterans  of  Korean  combat,  pres- 
ently enrolled  in  the  University  of  Sar 
Francisco,  were  sitting  in  Foran's  1951 
Oldsmobile  talking  over  classroom  prob- 
lems when  Miller's  frantic  figure  ap- 
peared on  the  street.  The  fugitive 
spotted  them,  stopped,  rapped  on  the 
glass  with  the  Luger,  and  indicated  that 
he  wanted  to  get  in  the  rear  of  the  car. 
Foran  and  McCarthy  had  little 
choice.  Each  had  seen  all  the  shooting 
they  wanted  for  quite  a  while.  Mc- 
Carthy, whose  left  leg  was  covered  from 
thigh  to  ankle  with  a  heavy  plaster  case 
...  a  souvenir  from  his  Korean  fighting 
days  .  .  .  was  incapable  of  resisting  and 
Foran  could  do  nothing  without  endan- 
gering his  friend.  He  unlocked  the  door 
and  let  the  gunman  in. 

Miller  stepped  inside,  crouched  on  the 
floor,  and  flourished  the  gun.  "Get  go- 
ing," he  ordered. 

"\\'here?"  Foran  inquired.

"Anywhere,"  Miller  told  them.  "I'm 
In  trouble.  Bad  trouble.  I'll  use  this  if  I 
have  to.  Now  get  moving." 

Foran  was  flustered.  He  pressed  the 
starter  button  and  the  little  motor 
moaned,  but  nothing  happened.  He  tried 
again.  Still  the  engine  refused  to  catch. 
Finally  Miller's  hand  shot  across  the 
seat  to  the  dashboard. 

"The  key  belongs  there,"  he  stated, 
twisting  it  to  the  "on"  position.  "Now 
try." 

The  motor  caught  and  came  to  life. 
"Head  for  Mission  Street,"  Miller 
ordered. 

Foran  obeyed.  When  he  reached  Mis- 
sion, Miller  ordered  him  to  turn  south. 
After  they  had  crossed  the  city  limits 
without  encountering  a  road  block  all 
three  men  sighed  with  relief.  Foran  and 
McCarthy  because  they  had  been  sure 
they  would  be  caught  in  a  gun  fight, 
Miller  because  he  believed  he  was  closer 
to  freedom. 

"Where  are  we  going?"  McCarthy 
wanted  to  know. 

"Los  Angeles,"  Miller  replied.  "Turn 
on  the  radio." 

Foran  turned  on  the  radio  just  in  time 
to  catch  a  news  bulletin  telling  of  the 
shooting  of  Bradley. 

"That's  me  they  want,"  Miller  de- 
clared. "Keep  that  thing  on  and  don't 
try  anything  funny." 

It  was  a  long,  tedious  ride.  Foran,  not 
wanting  to  attract  attention  that  might 
be  fatal  to  either  a  policeman  or  himself, 
drove  thirty-five  to  forty  miles  an  hour 
throughout  the  four  hundred  mile  trip. 
At  three  o'clock  Miller  ordered  the 
radio  turned  off.  Bradley  was  still  alive 
and  Girard's  wound,  which  was  through 
the  foot,  was  deemed  painful  but  minor. 
Shortly  after  three  o'clock  Bradley  died, 
but  Miller  did  not  know  it. 

At  twelve  noon  the  following  day  the 
trio  arrived  in  Los  Angeles.  Miller  had 
bought  gas  twice  and  they  had  eaten,  but 
because  of  McCarthy's  leg  the  gunman 
had  managed  to  remain  in  command  all 
the  way.  He  ordered  Foran  to  proceed  to 
the  theater  district  and  got  out  of  the 
car.  As  he  left  he  produced  a  five  dollar 
bill. 

"Here's  a  fin  for  gas,"  he  told  them. 
"Now  how  about  giving  me  a  break. 
Just  give  me  a  chance  to  get  away.  I 
didn't  mean  to  shoot  that  guy.  Honest  I 
didn't." 

As  Miller  disappeared  in  the  midday 
crowd,  Foran  and  McCarthy  headed  for 
the  Hill  Street  Police  Station. 

Inspector  Tom  Cahill  and  Ralph  Mc- 
Donald of  the  San  Francisco  Homicide 
Detail  took  up  the  search  for  Harold 
Miller  immediately  after  news  of  the 
shooting    reached    police    headquarters.

POLICE  AND  PEACE  OFFICERS'  JOURNAL 


July,  195' 


Hour  after  endless  hour  passed  as  they 
worked  without  rest,  determined  to 
track  down  their  fellow  officer's  killer. 
Radio  and  television  broadcasts  told  of 
the  event  and  flood  of  tips  reached  police 
headquarters,  each  of  which  had  to  be 
checked  out.  Road  blocks  were  stationed 
on  every  major  highway.  By  the  time 
Bradley  died  hundreds  of  Bay  Area 
policemen  were  working  on  the  case. 
The  two  inspectors  were  exhausted 
when  the  teletype  came  from  Los 
Angeles  shortly  after  noon  the  next  day. 
The  message  was  brief.  It  declared  that 
Miller  was  in  the  southern  city  and  that 
every  available  man  was  on  the  job. 

The  message  did  not  exaggerate.  Chief 
W.  H.  Parker  detailed  five  hundred 
men  headed  by  Captain  Jack  Donahue  to 
the  search.  Radio  stations  and  television 
stations  broadcast  descriptions  of  the 
killer  at  hourly  intervals.  Hundreds  of 
plain  clothes  men  scoured  the  hotel  and 
theater  district.  Two  detectives  were 
stationed  in  each  theater.  Among  these 
were  James  Brady  and  Wilbur  Ulmer. 


They  arrived  early  in  the  afternoon, 
told  the  manager  their  purpose,  and 
asked  to  speak  to  the  usherettes. 

"^Vatch  for  anj'one  sleeping,"  the  girls 
were  told.  "If  you  see  anyone  asleep, 
take  a  good  look  at  him.  If  he  resembles 
this  picture,"  they  passed  around  a 
photograph  of  Miller,  "let  us  know  at 
once." 

The  usherettes  promised  to  cooperate. 
Shortly  after  six  o'clock  one  of  them  ap- 
proached the  officers. 

"Your  man  is  in  my  section,"  she  told 
them.  "He's  sound  asleep." 

"Keep  your  eye  on  him,"  the  detec- 
tives ordered.  "We  don't  want  to  take 
him  in  here.  Someone  might  get  hurt. 
Let  us  know  when  he's  awake." 

At  7 :20  p.m.  the  usherette  reported 
that  the  fugitive  was  awake  and  stirring. 
The  two  officers  stood  as  inconspicuously 
as  possible  at  the  base  of  the  stairs  lead- 
ing to  the  balcony.  A  few  moments  later 
Miller  came  down.  There  was  no  miss- 
ing him.  Brady  and  Ulmer  followed  him 
from  the  theater.  A  short  distance  awav 


they  approached  him  with  guns  drawn 
Brady's  gun  was  in  the  fugitive's  stem 
ach  and  Ulmer's  in  his  back  before  Mil 
ler  could  react.  They  forced  him  into  : 
doorway  which,  incongruously  bore  : 
sign  inviting  passersby  to  "sit  down  am 
relax". 

Miller  did  not  relax.  He  waite< 
tensely  for  the  officers  to  search  him  and 
when  Brady  produced  the  Luger,  hi 
sighed.  "You've  got  the  right  guy,"  h 
admitted. 

Miller  was  taken  to  the  Los  Angela 
Police  Academy  where  Cahill,  who  hac 
flown  to  Los  Angeles  to  take  part  in  th( 
search,  Captain  Donahue,  and  a  cour 
reporter  recorded  his  full  confession. 

Three  months  later  Miller  was  foum 
guilty  of  the  first  degree  murder  of  In 
spector  Bradley  plus  six  other  felonie 
ranging  from  kidnapping  to  the  illega 
possession  of  firearms  by  a  convict.  H 
was  sentenced  to  life  imprisonment  b; 
Superior  Judge  Eustace  Cullinan.

IS  SUNNYVALE  RIGHT? 


Can  one  individual  competently  qual- 
ify as  both  policeman  and  fireman  in  two 
such  highly  specialized  fields?  This  is  a 
popular  argument  surrounding  the  move 
recently  by  the  City  of  Sunnyvale. 

The  combining  of  the  police  and  fire 
departments  under  one  department  has 
recently  been  worked  out  in  Sunnyvale, 
California.  An  officer  of  the  law  is  not 
only  required  to  fulfill  his  police  duties 
in  combating  crime  but  he  must  be  equal- 
ly skilled  in  combating  fire. 

Much  "hala-baloo"  has  been  heard  on 
this  unique  system  but  as  can  be  expected 
separate  departments  of  police  and  fire 
in  the  neighboring  communities  insist  on 
their  individuality.  They  refuse  to  be- 
lieve that  a  policeman  could  fulfill  the 
duties  of  a  fireman  and  that  naturally  a 
fireman  lacks  police  "know-how." 

Various  policemen  in  the  surrounding 
areas  of  Sunnyvale  were  asked  their  per- 
sonal opinion  on  the  combination  police 
and  fire  department.  Many  opinions  were 
given  on  this  matter  however  it  was  soon 
discovered  that  few  wished  to  be  quoted. 

The  San  Jose  Police  Department  sup- 
plied considerable  opinion  in  this  small 
survey.  Sergeant  Elmer  Klein  in  his  own 
views  unknowingly  expressed  the  general 
opinion  of  many  in  the  area.  Klein  felt 
that  the  two  fields  were  too  highly  spe- 
cialized for  one  man  to  adapt  to  his  full- 
est ability  in  each  department.  It  takes 
years  to  become  a  fully  experienced  fire- 
men— mainly  due  to  lack  of  fires  with 
which  to  obtain  actual  experience.  Aside 
from  the  actual  fighting  of  fire,  there  is 
the  department  of  fire  investigation  which 
in  itself  is  a  highly  trained  and  specialized 
field. 

In  police  work  men  spend  four  and 
often  many  more  years  of  study  in  the 
field  of  police  procedure.  Considering 
this  phase  alone  it  is  apparent  that  con- 
siderable training  in  both  fields  would  be 
necessary  to  obtain  a  high  degree  of  effi- 
ciency. 


By  Bill  AValker 

It  is  the  opinion  of  many  that  the  Sun- 
nyvale system  is  perhaps  practical  in  a 
small  town,  where  the  need  for  fire  fight- 
ing and  police  patroling  is  somewhat 
limited. 

The  following  are  quotes  taken  from 
various  police  officers  in  the  communities 
surrounding  Sunnyvale. 

"Never  had  any  contact  with  it,  would 
not  definitely  know  how  it  would  work." 

"Perhaps  a  small  town  could  use  it  to 
save  money." 

"Small  town  OK  but  large  city  not 
too  good." 

"Takes  too  much  training." 

"Policemen  fight  crime  and  firemen 
fight  fire,  it's  best  that  way." 

"Oh,  brother — I'd  quit  the  police  force 
and  go  into  the  street  department  if  it 
ever  comes  to  San  Jose." 

"It's  just  impossible  to  do  a  good  job 
in  both  fields." 

"I  just  hope  it  stays  in  the  town  of 
Sunnyvale." 

"With  the  proper  personnel  it  may  be 
very  practical." 

"Sunn>-\'ale  seems  to  like  it,  especially 
the  taxpayers." 

AVilliard  Schmidt,  well  known  director 
of  the  San  Jose  State  College  Police 
School,  expressed  the  combination  in 
Sunny\'ale  as  an  administrative  tech- 
nique, a  technique  that  may  save  the  tax- 
payers money  and  increase  the  efficiency 
of  the  departments. 

7"he  problems  to  be  considered  are  the 
saving  of  taxes  attsus  efficiency. 

1.  If  this  step  taken  by  Sunnyvale 
costs  the  taxpayers  less  and  maintains  its 
previous  rate  of  efficiency  it  is  bound  to 
be  a  popular  move. 

2.  If  it  costs  the  taxpayers  less  and  in- 
creases the  efficiency  then  by  all  means 
it's  a  eood  thing. 

3.  If,  on  the  other  hand,  taxes  are  less 
at  the  sacrifice  of  efficiency  it  is  not  good. 


4.  If  taxes  are  the  same  and  efficiency 
less — still  a  poor  move. 

5.  If  taxes  are  the  same  and  efficiency 
increased  it  is  good  and  if  taxes  are  the 
same  and  efficiency  the  same,  then  why 
change  ? 

Increased  efficiency  can  be  obtained  by 
training  courses  given  to  each  member 
of  the  department.  Perhaps  in  a  few 
short  years  policemen  will  take  compar- 
able firemen  training  courses  in  college. 
Under  such  a  program  the  graduate 
would  be  well  qualified  in  both  fields. 

I  hese  are  a  few  of  the  logical  reasons 
given  by  Director  Schmidt  in  analyzing 
the  move  Sunnyvale  has  made.  Perhaps 
this  survey  has  a  strong  flavor  of  dis- 
approval to  ward  such  a  combination, 
but  it  was  our  intention  to  present  the 
opinions  of  the  policemen  in  surrounding 
areas  and  give  you  a  slanting  view  from 
the  policemen's  side. 


TRAFFIC  TOLL 


Traffic  accidents  in  San  Francisco  up  to 
August  1  claimed  45  lives  and  caused  in- 
jtiry  to  3,541  persons,  the  San  Francisco 
Chapter  of  the  National  Safety  Council 
reported  today. 

Nearly  500  of  the  injured  persons  were 
critically  hurt,  the  Chapter  report  showed. 

Arnold  E.  Archibald,  Chapter  presi- 
dent, stated :  "If  the  present  trend  con- 
tinues through  the  next  five  months,  40 
more  people  will  die  and  nearly  3,000  will 
be  injured." 

Archibald  urged  pedestrians  to  "be  ex- 
tremely careful  when  crossing  streets." 

"Jaii'^valking  and  walking  against  traf- 
fic signals  is  a  major  cause  of  death  and 
serious  injury  in  local  traffic,"  the  safety 
leader  noted. 

From  August  1  through  December  last 
year,  32  people  were  killed  and  2,728  were 
injured.  Twenty-three  of  the  dead  and 
nearly  1,000  of  the  injured  were  pedestri- 
ans, the  Safet>'  Council  reported.

PISTOL  POINTING 


The  San  Francisco  Matches 

As  you  have  probably  heard,  the  June 
20th  matches  held  at  the  S.  F.  Police 
range  were  the  last  matches  to  be  held 
there  for  about  a  \ear.  As  the  city  of  S.F.'s 
budget  is  made  up  previous  to  July  1st 
each  year  there  have  been  no  appropriations 
of  do-ri-me  to  hold  matches  for  the  1*554- 
55  fiscal  year  which  means  that  the 
matches  could  not  be  held  before  July  of 
1955.  If  you  think  the  shooters  are  not 
disappointed  about  that  state  of  affairs 


Mii.T  Klipfel 

then  old  bo\',  \ou  had  better  take  anoth?r 
look.  I  hat  lea\es  only  the  Oakland  Club 
sponsoring  matches  for  that  period.  It's 
true  there  are  other  matches  in  San  Jose 
and  Stockton  but  they  are  not  generally 
patronized  by  the  shooters.  It  sure  is  a 
darn  shame  that  the  finest  range  in  the 
whole  country  will  be  tied  up  for  public 
matches  for  a  whole  \ear  and  I  know  that 
there  are  many  shooters  trying  to  sec 
what  can  be  done  for  the  1955-56  \ear. 
Cheer  up,  my  fellow  paper  punchers  the 
cause  is  not  all  together  lost  and  a  year  is 
a  long  time  and  much  can  be  accomplished 
in  12  months. 

Perhaps  another  bit  of  news  to  the 
shooters  is  that  in  all  probabilities  that  was 
the  last  official  shoot  "POP"  Dutil  will 
be  with  use  as  the  range  master.  He  is 
about  to  take  an  early  retirement  and  sit 
out  the  rest  of  his  days  in  peace  and  quiet. 
(\Vanna  take  a  bet?  Two  to  one  Pop  is 
back  with  us  in  a  few  months  but  not  as 
a  range  official  but  as  one  of  the  shooters. 
Because   if   I    knew   Pop   then   he  just 


couldn't  stay  away  from  any  spot  where 
the  handguns  are  popping ! )  Pop  tells  me 
he  has  looked  forward  to  this  day  of  re- 
tirement with  longing  eyes  and  it  never 
seemed  to  be  getting  any  nearer  until  one 
day  it  was  almost  on  top  of  him  and  then 
he  got  what  we  call  butterflies  and  he  isn't 
too  sure  now  that  he  wants  to  retire.  He 
wishes  that  he  could  turn  old  Father 
I  ime  aroimd  for  a  spell  and  head  him  in 
the  other  direction  for  a  couple  of  years 
as  it  is  one  of  the  hardest  decisions  of  his 
life  to  make- — either  he  sticks  it  out  a  cou- 
ple of  years  longer  or  calls  it  quits.  It 
seems  quite  a  simple  task  for  you  or  me  to 
make  up  our  minds  now  that  we  don't 
have  to  retire  but  when  it's  time  to  give  the 
final  word,  oh,  brother!  Leaving  so  many 
friends  and  good  times  is  like  giving  up  his 
right  arm — and  you  know  Pop  doesn't 
want  to  do  that.  There  is  no  use  in  me  try- 
ing to  give  Pop  a  big  slap  on  the  back  be- 
cause everyone  who  has  had  contact  with 
him  will  be  more  than  willing  to  do  that 
but  he  does  wish  to  express  his  deepest  re- 
gards to  all  the  shooters  for  their  co-op- 
eration and  loyalty  without  which  the 
range  wouldn't  be  what  it  is  today.  There 
will  be  no  good-byes  and  no  so-longs  be- 
cause we  all  know  that  "POP"  Dutil  will 
be  with  us  again.  A  new  rangemaster  will 
step  in  and  keep  things  rolling  in  the  per- 
sonage of  Jim  Martini.  Next  issue  I'll  tell 
you  about  Jim. 


The  June  matches  was  the  wind-up  ot 
the  yearly  shoot  with  the  high  aggregate 
scores  of  February,  April  and  June.  The 
range  champion  was  Sgt.  Karl  Schaugaanl 
of  the  S.  F.  Police  Department  who  piled 
up  a  total  score  for  the  three  matches  ni 
4022.  Behind  Karl  was  Bob  Chow,  the 
genial  gunsmith,  with  4010  points  and  on 
his  heels  was  Highway  Patrol  Officer 
Milt  Klipfel  with  2991  points.  As  a  mat- 
ter of  fact  all  6  open  class  winners,  except 
Chow,  were  of  the  law  enforcement  order. 
Cap  Jacobs  finished  4th,  Ken  Kolb,  fifth 
and  Jack  Ahern  6th.  Strange  to  say  most 
all  the  class  winners  were  law  enforce- 
ment officers. 

I  had  intended  giving  you  the  dope  on 
the  three  matches  but  got  off  on  Pop  Dutil 
and  plumb  ran  out  of  time  so  all  I  can  do 
now  is  give  you  the  scores  of  the  class 
winners  for  1954. 

And  before  I  forget  I  must  tell  Dave 
Menary,  the  new  sheriff  of  Marin  County, 
that  all  the  shooters  are  very  glad  that  he 
won  the  election  and  hope  that  his  new 
duties  do  not  interfere  with  his  shooting 
at  Oakland  and  San  Francisco.

BICYCLISTS'  RIGHTS 

Bic\clists  have  the  same  rights  on  a 
highway  as  motorists.  When  you  see  a  boy, 
a  girl  or  an  adult  on  a  wheel,  treat  them 
as  courteously  as  though  they  were  driv- 
ing an  automobile,  urges  the  California

POLICE  PUBLIC  RELATIONS 


By  Vaul  E.  Rouzer,  Chairman 
Puhlie  Relations  Comjnittee 


Police  procedure  has  progressed  unbe- 
lievably far  during  the  past  decade  and  ac- 
cordingly the  police  field  has,  literally 
speaking,  grown  by  leaps  and  bounds.  Fig- 
uratively, the  police  profession  has  come 
of  age.  These  facts  are  important  not  only 
to  police  officers  and  to  police  depart- 
ments, but  to  the  public  as  a  whole  for 
they  presage  a  new  police  service. 

To  be  considered  a  friend  by  the  pub- 
lic generally  would  bring  harmony  into 


and  Mrs.  John  Q.  Citizen  because  too  lit- 
tle publicity  is  given  to  the  necessity  and 
value  of  modern-day  police  work. 

Whether  your  department  is  large  or 
small,  whether  it  is  well  accepted  or  ill 
regafded,  whether  you  are  cognizant  of 
the  fact  or  not,  there  is  a  very  urgent 
need  today  for  a  positive  and  hard  hitting 
public  relations  program  in  all  police  de- 
partments. Police  departments  have  a  new 
and  better  service  to  sell  to  the  public  and 


regulations  cause  ill  will,  changes  of  po- 
lice policy  also  have  a  tendency  to  breed 
contempt  for  police,  and  certainly  the  ill- 
tempered,  discourteous  police  officer  con- 
tributes his  share  to  barricading  the  road 
to  fine  public  relations. 

In  recent  years,  the  people  of  commu- 
nities have  realized  that  an  efficient  and 
courteous  police  department,  with  trained 
officers,  is  definitely  one  of  their  greatest 
assets.  I,  as  well  as  you,  have  listened  to 


SHERIFF  COX,  SACRAMENTO,  MEETS  THE  PUBLIC 


the  many  dealings  which  the  police  depart- 
ment must  have  with  many  persons  during 
the  year.  Many  persons  are  not  particu- 
larly favorable  to  the  police  simply  be- 
cause they  know  so  little  about  the  big  job 
which  only  the  police  can  perform  and  do 
perform.  I\Iany  think  of  police  traffic 
work  only  as  the  handing  out  of  tickets  for 
infractions  of  driving  rules  and  regula- 
tions. What  police  do  to  prevent  casualties 
and  save  lives  is  too  little  known  by  Mr. 


there  is  nothing  that  the  public  likes  quite 
as  well  as  an  assurance  that  it  is  secure  in 
its  life,  property,  and  well  being.  There 
is  nothing  that  can  tarnish  that  assurance 
quite  as  well  as  an  efficient  police  opera- 
tion. A  well  informed  public  is  always  a 
good  cooperating  public,  and  it  is  essential 
that  police  departments  inform  the  people 
of  their  communities  of  their  problems 
and  suggest  ways  and  means  the  public 
can  cooperate.  Sudden  changes  in  traffic 


conversations  involving  police  and  have 
heard  people  boast  of  the  fine  police  de- 
partment back  home.  Then  again,  we  have 
heard  conversations  to  the  other  extreme. 

The  public  is  quick  to  scrutinize  the  in- 
dividual police  officer  and  to  form  an  opin- 
ion, and  man\  times  the  first  opinion  be- 
comes the  lasting  one. 

In  the  past  years,  the  program  of  pub- 
lic relations  in  police  departments  has

A  Training  Program  for  Sex  Crime  Investigation 


Crime  statistics  in  the  United  States 
have  steadily  increased  until  the  last  pub- 
lished annual  figures  of  the  FBI  U niforin 
Crime  Reports  show  that  for  the  first 
time  in  the  history  of  this  country  over 
two  million  major  crimes  were  committed 
in  1952.  And  for  additional  proof  that 
these  figures  were  substantial,  I  want  to 
refer  to  those  same  crime  reports  which 
have  been  listed  for  the  first  six  months 


By  John  M.  \Vatahovich,  Prcsidmi 
Pennsylvania  Chiefs  of  Police  Association 

organization,  in  order  to  determine  where 
the  break-through  has  occurred  and  what 
categories  are  responsible  for  these  unwel- 
come increases. 

An  analysis  of  the  facts  and  figures 
clearly  indicates  that  sex  offenses  have  in- 
creased 50  per  cent  in  the  past  10  years. 
And  even  then  the  true  picture  of  an  im- 
wholesome  and  unpleasant  situation  is  not 
presented,  since  it  is  estimated  that  only 


word  which  many  newspapers  dislike  to 
print  and  which  courts  and  police  authori- 
ties want  to  handle  in  a  quiet,  behind- 
doors  manner.  Police  departments  are  re- 
luctant to  conduct  investigations,  ask 
questions,  and  make  arrests  because  in  so 
many  instances  those  involved  in  the  sex 
dereliction  are  influential,  wealthy,  or  po- 
litically powerful  individuals.  Law  en- 
forcement officers  in  state  after  state  find

of  1953  and  represent  almost  a  three  per 
cent  increase  over  the  first  six  months  of 
1952. 

^Vhen  such  a  situation  occins,  people 
all  over  the  country  begin  to  demand, 
"What  is  wrong  with  the  police  depart- 
ment?" "Is  our  law  enforcement  system 
breaking  down  ?"  Are  the  police  receiving 
sufficient  and  adequate  training?"  "AVhat 
is  the  reason  for  these  high  crime  figures  ?" 

And  so  we  in  law  enforcement  turn  to 
the  statistics,  as  does  every  large  business 


three  out  of  every  five  rapes  are  reported 
to  the  police  and  only  one  out  of  every 
twenty  sex  offenses  makes  its  way  to  a  po- 
lice blotter. 

Police  departments  throughout  the 
country  will  readily  admit  that  the  sex  of- 
fender is  a  difficult  and  unsolved  problem. 
In  many  instances  they  are  content  to 
coast  with  the  circumstances,  hoping  that 
a  little  child  or  a  helpless  woman  will  not 
be  badly  injured  or  killed. 

For  too  many  years  sex  has  been  an  ugly 


themselves  running  up  against  courts 
which  are  not  only  unsympathetic,  but 
have  very  little  knowledge  and  under- 
standing of  the  \arious  per\ersions  and 
how  they  fit  into  the  offense  pattern.  In 
other  instances,  they  are  loath  to  proceed 
in  cases  where  the  only  witness  is  a  timid 
inexperienced  girl  or  a  guiltless  child,  feel- 
ing that  they  have  very  little  chance  of  ob- 
taining a  conviction.  In  these  cases,  you 
will  find  that  the  police  are  willing  to  ac-

TRENDS  IN  RURAL  POLICE  PROTECTION 


During  the  past  forty  years  we  have 
witnessed  a  phenomenal  growth  in  state 
police  agencies  and  highway  patrol  serv- 
ices throughout  the  United  States.  Four 
decades  ago,  only  four  states  had  state  po- 
lice agencies — Texas,  Pennsylvania,  Mas- 
sachusetts, and  Connecticut.  In  the  latter 
two  states  the  agencies  were  limited  to  cer- 
tain activities  in  the  detection  of  crime  and 
in  suppressing  vice  and  gambling.  Con- 
trasted with  this  limited  number,  and  an

strength.  The  entire  pattern  of  state  po- 
lice administration  and  operation  has  been 
undergoing  a  decided  change  consistent 
with  the  times  and  the  changing  pattern 
of  rural  living.  The  suburban  movement 
has  brought  a  large  segment  of  our  popu- 
lation into  areas  policed  by  state  depart- 
ments. The  convenience  of  modern  travel 
and  improved  rural  schools  and  other 
services  have  beckoned  the  urban  dweller 
to  migrate  into  the  countryside.  Another 


in  rural  and  suburban  areas  have  brought 
demands  for  improved  police  operations, 
and  services.  Police  administrators,  in- 
spired by  public  demand  and  by  higher 
professional  standards  set  by  leaders  in 
their  own  field,  have  responded  in  large 
measure  by  striving  for,  and  in  most  in- 
stances achieving,  higher  standards  of  per- 
formance through  improved  administra- 
tion, supervision,  personnel  selection  and 
management,  and  training.

only  slightly  larger  handful  of  forces  in 
the  New  England  and  Middle  Atlantic 
states  a  quarter  of  a  century  ago,  we  now 
see  every  state  in  the  Union  supporting 
state  enforcement  agencies  of  one  type  or 
another.  The  rapid  expansion  of  existing 
state  departments  and  the  organization  of 
new  forces  clearly  indicate  the  trend  of 
these  years  in  the  term  of  physical  growth. 

A  Changing  Pattern 
At  the  same  time  there  has  been  much 
more    than    an    increase    in    numerical 


factor  modifying  the  pattern  of  life  in  ru- 
ral areas  is  the  planned  dispersal  of  vital 
defense  industries  outside  of  heavily  popu- 
lated centers.  Small  communities  suddenly 
find  themselves  reaping  a  tax  bonanza,  but 
with  an  accompanying  host  of  problems, 
not  the  least  of  which  are  acute  traffic  and 
crime  problems,  fai  beyond  the  scope  and 
resources  of  their  present  police  opera- 
tions. 

Public  realization  of  and   interest  in 
these  problems  of  traffic  and  crime  control 


Improved  performance  has,  in  turn, 
brought  better  working  conditions,  equip- 
ment, salaries,  and  retirement  benefits  to 
most  departments.  More  is  expected  and 
more  is  given.  We  may  well  look  back 
with  nostalgia  to  the  "good  old  da\s"  and 
recall  the  iron  men,  those  outstanding  fig- 
ures in  law  enforcement  who  made  the  un- 
usual and  the  herioc  look  commonplace. 
These  personalities  stood  out  against  a 
background  of  mediocrity,  and  achieved

ASSOCIATED  PUBLIC  COMMUNICATIONS  OFFICERS 


The  joint  meeting  of  the  Associated 
Public  Communication  Officers  and  the 
California  Public  Safety  Radio  Associa- 
tion was  held  in  Visalia  on  May  14  and 
15,  1954.  The  meeting  host  was  Mr. 
Orvil  Woods  of  Tulare  County  Sheriff's 
Office  in  Visalia. 

The  meeting  was  called  to  order  by 
National  APCO  President  Brower  Mc- 
Murphy  at  9:40  a.m.  with  60  members 
and  guests  in  attendance.  President 
McMurphy  introduced  the  officers  of 
both  associations.  He  then  turned  the 
meeting  over  to  Orvil  Woods.  Orvil 
greeted  the  group,  presented  the  agenda 
for  the  conference,  and  then  introduced 
Mr.  Frank  Benson,  Chief  of  Police  for 
the  City  of  Visalia. 

Chief  Benson  extended  a  cordial  wel- 
come to  the  group  and  acknowledged  the 
excellent  work  on  behalf  of  Public 
Safety  Communications  by  CPRA  and 
APCO. 

Northern  California  President  Art 
McDole  then  took  over  the  Chairman- 
ship and  conducted  a  tjrief  meeting  of 
the  Northern  Chapter. 

The  minutes  of  the  April  APCO 
meeting  were  read  and  approved. 

Membership  applications  for  Harry 
Chambers,  Paul  Chitwood  and  Irving 
Astmann  were  referred  to  the  Board  of 
Directors  for  study  and  recommenda- 
tions. A  commercial  membership  appli- 
cation for  George  W.  Kenyon  was  ap- 
proved on  a  motion  by  LeBoeuf,  sec- 
onded by  Keller. 

President  McDole  then  called  for 
committee  reports. 

Procedure  and  Operating  Committee: 
Chairman  Lewis  reported  on  a  prelimi- 
nary draft  of  Northern  California  Point- 
to-Point  procedure  and  stated  that  it 
would  be  presented  at  the  next  APCO 
meeting. 

Frequency  and  Engineering  had  no 
requests  for  clearances. 

The  next  Northern  California  meeting 
was  temporarily  set  for  Sacramento  on 
June  10.  As  there  was  no  further  Chap- 
ter business  the  Northern  California 
meeting  was  closed. 

Mr.  Hugh  Young,  Assistant  Regional 
Manger  for  Motorola,  spoke  on  tele- 
phone utility  attempts  in  the  public 
safety  field  and  methods  of  computing 
cost  comparisons  of  municipal  versus 
utility  operation. 

Deputy  Chief  Hohmann  of  Los 
Angeles  Police  then  advised  the  group  on 
some  legal  determinations  and  action 
taken  by  the  City  of  Los  Angeles  before 


the  PUC  with  respect  to  telephone  com- 
pany operations. 

At  this  point  the  meeting  was  turned 
over  to  CPRA  President  Harvey  Piatt 
who  welcomed  the  members  on  behalf 
of  CPRA.  President  Piatt  then  called 
the  CPRA  Chapter  meeting  into  session. 

Fred  Crowder  reviewed  the  crystal 
coordinating  problem  of  re-establishing 
the  Inter-system  network  in  the  150  mc 
band.  The  City  of  Los  Angeles  was 
given  clearance  on  the  microwave  pair 
958.5  and  958.9  mc.  In  connection  with 
the  use  of  33.10  mc  by  the  Board  of 
Public  Works  (Highway  Maintenance j 
of  the  City  of  Los  Angeles,  the  CPRA 
went  on  official  record  as  not  objecting 
to  such  usage. 

I\Iax  Elliot  reported  on  the  engineer- 
ing progress  on  two  problems:  One  in- 
volving San  Diego  and  the  Los  Angeles 
area,  and  the  other  involving  the  City 
of  Burbank  which  was  satisfactorily 
solved.  Max  also  told  of  the  existence 
and  availability  of  microwave  manuals 
originally  composed  for  the  Army.  De- 
tailed information  on  these  is  available 
from  Max.  Bud  Whiteman  predicted 
150  mc  operation  on  the  Inter-system 
network  by  July  1,  1954.  Bob  Miller, 
Los  Angeles  County,  announced  that  the 
new  code  books  were  off  the  press  and 
were  now  available  to  all  interested 
parties.  At  the  close  of  this  meeting,  a 
Joint  Resolutions  Committee  was  ap- 
pointed for  the  purpose  of  submitting 
resolutions  to  the  joint  session  on  the 
following  day. 

Our  host  introduced  Mr.  James  An- 
nand,  Chief,  Division  of  Supply,  Office 
of  Civil  Defense,  who  spoke  briefly  on 
50-50  matching  funds  for  communica- 
tions. 

The  meeting  was  recessed  at  12:15  for 
lunch. 

Following  lunch  the  afternoon  session 
was  called  to  order  at  1 :20  p.m.  as  an 
active  member  meeting  only  with  CPRA 
President  Piatt  presiding.  CPRA  Secre- 
tary Keeley  read  a  copy  of  a  letter 
directed  to  Walter  Williams  from 
CPRA  on  his  statement  in  the  Bulletin 
in  conjunction  with  National  Resolution 
No.  1.  Mr.  Williams'  taped  reply  was 
then  played  for  the  group.  On  a  motion 
by  Whiting,  which  was  seconded  and 
approved  by  CPRA  members,  the  Secre- 
tary was  directed  to  advise  Williams  his 
reply  had  been  acknowledged  and  filed. 

McMurphy  gave  the  group  some  en- 
lightening information  on  the  proposed 
systems  licensing  by  the  FCC. 


Ihe  membership  then  partook  of  a 
general  discussion  of  the  FCC  question- 
naire. Bill  Whiting  requested  the  Reso- 
lution Committee  to  draft  a  resolution 
stating  that  the  FCC  questionnaire  re- 
quest for  on  the  air  time  does  not  fit 
public  safety  operations  and  that  those 
agencies  are  attempting  to  conserve  air 
time  by  use  of  good  operating  pro- 
cedures. Such  conservation  may  possibly 
penalize  public  safety  communications 
at  some  future  time  with  respect  to 
s}stems  usage.  The  Resolutions  Com- 
mittee was  so  directed. 

The  respective  secretary's  reports 
showed  127  members  in  CPRA  and  95 
in  APCO. 

Whiting  distributed  to  the  Procedure 
Committees  some  copies  of  the  proposed 
procedure  of  the  Southern  California 
point-to-point  radio  system.  He  re- 
quested that  an  attempt  be  made  to 
prepare  a  standardized  Northern  and 
Southern  California  Point-to-Point  Pro- 
cedure. 

Rick  Keeley  presented  some  additional 
information  on  the  Miami  fire  alarm 
story. 

The  meeting  was  recessed  at  5:15 
p.m.  until  9:30  a.m.  Friday  by  CPRA 
President  Harvey  Piatt. 

The  meeting  was  called  to  order  at 
9:20  a.m.  on  Friday,  May  15,  with 
CPRA  President  Harvey  Piatt  pre- 
siding. 

The  meeting  was  turned  over  to  R.  A. 
Mason  of  Santa  Clara  County,  who 
presented  the  members  with  copies  and 
spoke  on  a  set  of  proposed  standards 
for  use  of  radio  in  the  fire  service.  The 
present  intent  of  these  standards  is  to 
prepare  a  set  suitable  for  adoption  by 
the  Board  of  Fire  Underwriters  of  the 
Pacific.  1  he  ultimate  goal  would  be  that 
those  fire  departments  operating  radio 
in  accordance  with  these  standards 
would  be  provided  with  extra  credits 
in  the  grading  of  their  city.  A  general 
discussion  followed. 

Foster  Strong,  Chairman  of  the  Reso- 
lutions Committee,  presented  Resolution 
No.  2,  urging  that  a  system  of  standards 
for  the  operation,  installation  and  main- 
tenance of  fire  radio  systems  be  estab- 
lished. On  a  motion  by  Bill  ^Vhiting, 
seconded  by  Calvert,  this  was  approved, 
the  Resolution  to  be  directed  to  National 
APCO,  IFC,  IMSA,  NFPA,  American 
Municipal  Association  and  other  western 
Fire  Associations.

Mrs.  Olga  Subdon,  pretty  brunette 
waitress,  took  the  money  off  the  counter 
and  rang  it  up  in  the  cash  register.  There 
was  a  dollar  and  a  half  for  her.  She  look- 
ed at  the  rangy,  sandy-haired  customer 
and  smiled. 

"Nice  guy,"  she  remarked  to  June 
Penhall,  another  waitress  at  the  Cozy

you  notice  his  T-shirt?  It  had  'London- 
derry' printed  across  the  back.  That's 
somewhere  in  Ireland,  isn't  it?" 

"I  think  so."  June  rubbed  the  count- 
er briskly  wtih  a  damp  cloth.  "I  suppose 
you're  right.  His  left  arm  was  tattoed, 
too.  A  lot  of  them  did  that  in  the  serv-

The  two  voung  women  leaned  on  the 


a  withering  glance  and  went  on  her  way. 
A  moment  later  she  turned  and  saw  him 
try  again.  This  time  there  were  two

car. 

"Do  either  of  you  know  anything 
about  children?"  he  asked  them. 

"\Wt  both  do,"  answered  17-year-old 
Rita  Beiler.  "Each  of  us  has  little  sis-

"I'm  in  a  jam,"  said  the  stranger.    "I

"I  can't  put  my  finger  on  it  exactly," 
responded  Miss  Penhall,  "e.xcept  that  he 
seemed  nervous,  as  though  he  was  wait- 
ing for  something." 

Mrs.  Subdon  watched  the  sandy-haired 
man  get  into  the  aging  Plymouth  sedan 
that  was  parked  outside  the  restaurant. 
"I  noticed  that  too,"  she  said.  He's  prob- 
ably a  veteran  just  back  from  tough  ac- 


counter  and  watched  their  customer  start 
his  car  and  dri\e  away.  He  drove  west 
toward  the  High  School. 

A  few  moments  later  the  battered 
Plymouth  pulled  up  in  front  of  Campbell 
High  School,  close  to  the  tennis  courts. 
Exuberant  students  were  pouring  from 
the  school's  exits  and  moving  toward 
the  football  field.  The  sandy-haired  man 
leaned  toward  the  sidewalk  window  and 
called  to  a  passing  co-ed.  She  threw  him

BICYCLE  COURT 


The  Sanger  Police  Department,  head- 
ed by  Carl  E.  Armstrong,  has  instituted 
one  of  the  most  unique  and  interesting 
programs  in  California  to  augment  its 
traffic  safety  campaign. 

For  the  purpose  of  safety  and  educa- 
tion, a  bicycle  court  has  been  established 
since  1952.  Senior  students  of  the  Sanger 
Union  High  School  serve  as  judges  for 
the  court  which  has  been  highly  effective 
reducinjr  \iniations  and  accidents  in- 


spending  the  entire  day  at  the  high  school 
with  the  senior  problems  class.  A  spirit 
of  friendliness  exists  between  the  police 
and  students  resulting  in  cooperation  and 
a  nunimum  amount  of  juvenile  trouble. 
Students  call  Chief  Armstrong  and  his 
officers  by  their  first  names. 

The  Sanger  department  includes 
twelve  regular  officers  and  a  trained  re- 
serve numbering  30  men.  They  have  re- 
ceived   classroom    instruction    taught   bv 


building  will  be  used  for  recreation  for 
both  departments  and  for  youth  activi- 
ties. 

A  program  is  planned  for  junior  police 
and  fire  departments.  It  will  include  a 
rifle  club,  hobby  clubs  and  athletic  and 
body  building  clubs. 

\\''ork  on  the  new  building  is  being 
carried  on  by  police  and  firemen  in  their 
spare  time.  It  will  be  remodled  according 
to  plans  and  will  ha\e  a  large  room  for 


volving  bicycle  riders.  All  phases  of  traf- 
fic safety  are  stressed  and  the  program  is 
carried  on  continually.  No  traffic  deaths 
have  been  reported  in  Sanger  since  1954. 

In  addition  to  the  bicycle  court  the 
Sanger  department  takes  an  active  part 
in  school  traffic  patrols  and  identification 
cards  are  given  to  all  members  who  qual- 
ify as  junior  police.  The  cards  are  pre- 
sented by  the  police  department. 

Chief  Armstrong  and  his  officers  work

training  in  patrol  cars.  Reserves  work  in 
the  same  uniform  as  regular  officers  and 
assist  on  many  occasions  when  e.vtra  po- 
licemen are  needed. 

The  department  has  developed  a  pistol 
range  where  all  members  including  re- 
ser\es  practice  regularly. 

A  large  building  at  Pine  Flat  Dam 
was  recently  purchased  by  the  city  of 
Sanger  for  the  Police  and  Fire  Depart- 
ments and  has  been  moved  to  a  location 
just  north  of  police  headquarters.  This

classroom,  athletic  room  and  rooms  for 
other  activities  such  as  hobby  clubs  will 
be  added.  All  \outh  activities  will  be  su- 
pervised by  police  and  firemen. 

The  police  and  firemen  hold  an  animal 
western  dance  and  sponsor  a  birthday 
calendar  for  the  purpose  of  raising  money 
for  youth  activities.  The  new  building 
will  be  furm'shed  from  this  finui  also.

San  Francisco^s  Strangest  Kidnapping 


The  slim,  catlike  man  paused  briefly  in 
the  doorway  of  100  Broderick  and  glanced 
furtively  up  and  down  the  street.  He 
shivered  as  icy  daggers  of  winter  wind 
stabbed  through  his  clothing. 

"There's  a  car  coming,"  he  muttered  to 
his  companion.  "\Ve'd  better  separate. 
I'll  meet  you  downtown." 

The  second  man  nodded,  drew  back 
into  the  shadow  and  watched  his  partner 
cover  the  distance  north  on  Broderick 
with  long  springy  strides.  He  glanced  at 


the  steps  and  swung  south  on  Broderick, 
walking  swiftly  toward  Haight  Street. 

Inside  the  car  Officer  Larry  Driscoll 
nudged  his  partner,  Ray  Bekelund.  They 
had  seen  the  sinister  pair  some  distance 
back  and  meant  to  investigate. 

"There  goes  the  second  one,"  Driscoll 
observed.  "What  do  you  suppose  they're 
up  to  ?" 

"Let's  get  the  first  one,"  suggested 
Bekelund.  "We'll  find  out  soon  enough." 
He  wheeled   the  car  over  to  the  curb. 


"I  guess  not,"  he  answered.  "It's  just 
cold,  and  I've  been  walking  fast  to  keep 
warm.  I'll  catch  the  devil  when  I  get 
home  though.  Lost  half  a  week's  wages  in 
a  poker  game.  And  caught  cold  in  the  bar- 
gain." The  man  grinned  nervously.  "Call 
fornia  draw  may  be  legal  here,  but  it  isn't 
with  my  wife." 

He  drew  nearer  and  the  officers  relaxed. 
The  fellow  was  probably  all  right.  Just  a 
routine  investigation  and  then  maybe  they 
would  give  him  a  ride  home.  He  looked

his  watch.  It  was  three  thirty  a.m.,  Fri- 
day, January  14,  1944.  His  gaze  was 
drawn  south  by  the  steadily  approaching 
headlights.  The  car  was  crviising  along  at 
an  even  rate. 

Cruising — the  word  bit  into  the  man's 
brain.  A  moment  later  his  suspicions  were 
verified  as  he  caught  sight  of  the  twin 
antennae  and  the  sign  on  the  car's  side : 
Accident  Prevention  Bureau,  San  Fran- 
cisco Police  Department.  He  trotted  down 


close  to  the  lean  man.  Their  quarry 
turned,  glanced  at  them,  then  hurried  on. 
He  had  the  curious  furti\e  quality  of  a 
rat,  who  would  fight  viciously  when  cor- 
nered, but  was  more  than  willing  to  run. 
Bekelund  eased  the  car  along  the  cmb 
while  Driscoll  roUeil  down  the  window. 

"In  a  hurry,  Bud?"  he  inquired. 

1  he  man  paused  nervously,  and  stared 
blankly  at  the  police  car.  Then  he  walked 
toward  them  slowly. 


innocent  enough.  All  but  his  eyes.  Officer 
Driscoll  caught  a  glimpse  of  his  eyes  and 
shivered.  There  was  something  sinister 
there.  They  were  rat's  eyes,  cold  and 
beady  and  without  any  trace  of  emotion. 
Driscoll  shrugged.  AN'orking  nights  did 
things  to  a  man's  imagination. 

The  man  coughed,  and  reached  toward 
his  pocket. 

"Easy  there,"  Driscoll  warned.

CONFERENCE 

Traffic  courts  and  their  role  in  traffic 
accident  prevention  will  be  the  subject  of 
a  five-day  conference  to  be  conducted 
October  11-15  at  the  Northwestern  Uni- 
versity School  of  Law,  357  East  Chicago 
Avenue,  Chicago. 

Ofifered  for  judges,  prosecutors,  jus- 
tices of  the  peace,  and  other  court  per- 
sonnel, this  will  be  the  Eighth  Traffic 
Court  Conference  to  be  planned  and  di- 
rected by  the  American  Bar  Association's 
Traffic  Court  Committee,  the  Law  School 
and  the  Traffic  Institute  of  Northwestern 
University. 

"Improved  court  handling  of  traffic  vio- 
lators, in  an  age  when  traffic  courts  afford 
the  average  citizen  his  only  personal  con- 
tact with  his  judicial  system,  is  the  aim 
of  the  American  Bar  Association's  Traffic 
Court  Program,"  according  to  James  P. 
Economos,  director  of  the  program. 

"Swift,  efficient  justice  in  the  nation's 
traffic  courts  plays  an  important  role  in 
reducing  traffic  acciiients.  Conferences  of 
this  type  are  effecti\e  in  providing  judges 
and  prosecutors  with  the  special  knowl- 
edge and  skill  so  necessary  in  dealing  with 
the  traffic  violator  problem." 

The  conference  will  cover  such  sub- 
jects as:  The  role  of  the  courts  and  their 
relation  to  the  traffic  problem,  ci\il  and 
criminal  responsibility  in  traffic  accident 
cases,  the  traffic  officer  in  court,  the  func- 
tion of  the  prosecutor,  administrative 
problems  in  traffic  courts,  the  laws  of  ar- 
rest, and  corrective  and  educational  penal- 
ization. 

Also  discussed  will  be  the  physical  laws 
affecting  motor  vehicle  operation,  includ- 
ing the  estimation  of  speed  by  use  of  skid- 
marks, radar  and  electrical  timing,  and 
the  legal  aspects  and  rulings  involved  in 
scientific  detection  devices. 

Uniform  enforcement  policies  and 
driver  license  controls  will  be  considered, 
as  well  as  the  physiological  and  legal  as- 
pects of  the  drinking  driver  problem. 
Tests  and  demonstrations  of  the  drinking 
driver  will  be  included,  together  with 
charges  of  drinking  while  under  the  in- 
fluence of  intoxicants. 

Among  those  who  will  participate  in 
the  conference  as  discussion  leaders,  in  ad- 
dition to  Mr.  Economos,  will  be:  Dr.  C. 
W.  Muehlberger,  state  toxicoligist  of 
Michigan;  Robert  L.  Donigan  and  Ed- 
ward C.  Fisher,  counsel  and  associate 
counsel,  respectively.  The  Traffic  Insti- 
tute; George  Larsen,  Jr.,  and  Paul  C. 
Keller  of  the  Institute's  training  staff,  and 
Thomas  P.  Stack,  field  representative  of 
the  Traffic  Di\ision  of  the  International 
Association  of  Chiefs  of  Police. 

Further  information  is  available  from 
the  Traffic  Institute,  Northwestern  Uni- 
versity, Evanston,  III.

A  new  basic  training  manual  and  a  new- 
sound  motion  picture,  both  entitled 
"Traffic  Officer  in  Court,  "  are  now  avail- 
able, according  to  the  Traffic  Institute, 
Northwestern  University. 

The  13-page  manual,  which  covers 
practical  problems  confronted  by  police 
officers  when  testifying  in  traffic  cases  in 
court,  was  written  by  Edward  C.  Fisher, 
associate  counsel  of  the  Traffic  Institute 
and  former  judge  of  the  Municipal  Court 
of  Lincoln,  Nebraska.  It  is  available  from 
the  Traffic  Institute,  1704  Judson  A\e., 
Evanston,  111.,  at  25c  for  single  copies, 
with  discounts  allowed  for  quantities. 

The  film,  which  is  based  on  and  supple- 
ments the  manual,  was  produced  by  the 
National  Association  of  Automotive  Mu- 
tual Insurance  Companies  for  the  Iraffic 
Institute.  It  is  a  10-minute,  16mm  sound 
film.  It  may  be  purchased  from  Vogue 
Wright  Studios,  237  E.  Ontario  St.,  Chi- 
cago 11,  for  $32.50.  Arrangements  can  be 
made  for  preview  of  the  film  before  pur- 
chase. A  copy  of  the  manual,  "Traffic  Of- 
fficer  in  Court,"  is  included,  without 
charge,  in  every  film  order. 

"The  basic  theme  of  the  manual  and 
the  film  on  'Traffic  Officer  in  Court'  is 
that,  regardless  of  surroundings  and  qual- 
ity' of  procedures  applied,  all  courts  and 
court  officials  have  the  same  serious  job  to 
do,"  said  Franklin  M.  Kreml,  director  of 
the  Traffic  Institute. 

"In  light  of  these  requirements,  the  po- 
lice officer  must  deport  himself  with  dig- 
nity and  competence  befitting  his  impor- 
tant mission.  For  the  officer  who  testifies 
in  traffic  cases,  the  manual  and  film  are  ex- 
cellent guides  for  improving  his  court- 
room work  in  all  of  its  practical  aspects." 

The  film  is  based  on  the  loss  of  a  case 
bv  an  officer  in  court.  The  judge  and  the 
officer's  supervisor  analyze  the  reasons 
why  police  testimony  in  court  cases  is  in- 
effective. 

Gerald  O'Connell,  Institute  director  of 
training,  had  the  dual  role  of  technical 
consultant  and  actor  during  the  filming  of 
"'Fraffic  Officer  in  Court."  He  played  the 
part  of  the  defense  attorney. 

"'Fraffic  Officer  in  Court"  is  the  third 
in  a  series  of  films  being  produced  for  the 
Institute  bv  the  NAAMIC.  The  first  two 
are  "Signals  and  Gestures"  (  used  by  po- 
lice in  directing  traffic)  and  "Hit-and- 
Run  Investigation."  These  are  available 
from  Vogue  Wright  Studios  in  35mm 
sound  slide  and  16mm  sound  motion  pic- 
tures. A  fourth  film,  "Detecting  and  Re- 
cording Skidmarks,"  is  now  in  produc- 
tion. 

Preparation  and  printing  of  the  manual 
was  made  possible  by  funds  for  develop- 
ment work  granted  the  Traffic  Institute 
by  the  Liberty  Mutual  Insurance  Com- 
pany, Boston.

POLICE  PUBLIC  RELATIONS 

(Continued  from  page  5) 

been  endorsed  by  the  chief  or  commanding 
officer,  and  officials  of  the  community, 
who  believed  it  to  be  their  job  and  their 
job  alone.  Each  member  of  a  police  depart- 
ment, large  or  small,  must  be  a  represen- 
tative himself  for  better  public  relations. 
Chiefs  should  stress  this  point,  setting 
forth  the  need  for  better  public  relations, 
and  insist  that  all  members  of  their  re- 
spective departments  be  aware  of  the 
value  of  public  relations,  understanding 
that  it  is  the  public  which  controls  the 
purse  strings  and  can  make  its  demands 
also  for  better  working  conditions  and 
general  support  of  the  police  profession. 

The  Pennsylvania  Chiefs  of  Police  As- 
sociation has  done  an  outstanding  job  in 
the  promotion  of  better  public  relations 
and  has  had  much  to  do  with  the  general 
public  favor  of  the  police  profession  in  the 
great  state  of  Pennsylvania.  We  urge  you 
therefore  to  continue  as  you  have  in  the 
past,  by  promoting  the  police  profession  to 
an  even  higher  level  in  the  years  ahead,  so 
that  the  police  of  Pennsylvania  can  take 
their  rightful  place  among  the  other  rec- 
ognized professions  of  our  day. 


SIGNS  FOR  LIFE 

"E.xpert  drivers  watch  for  and  obey  the 
signs  for  life. 

"These  signs  of  life,"  explained  Cali- 
fornia Highway  Patrol  Commissioner  B. 
R.  Caldwell,  "are  the  traffic  signs,  signals 
and  pavement  markings  which  remind  all 
motorists  and  pedestrians  of  the  law  and 
warn  them  of  potential  dangers. 

"Highway  users  are  reminded  that 
there  are  four  basic  sign  shapes  in  addition 
to  the  familiar  cross-buck  used  to  indicate 
highway  railroad  crossings.  The  eight 
sided  sign,  red  with  white  letters,  always 
means  stop.  Round  signs,  either  white  or 
yellow,  indicate  railroad  crossings;  and 
diamond-shaped  yellow  signs  all  indicate 
caution  for  one  reason  or  another.  Rec- 
tangular signs  tell  of  directions  or  regula- 
tions. All  are  important,  for  to  ignore  one 
of  them  could  cost  a  life. 

"The  fact  that  some  motorists  choose  to 
ignore  or  disobey  these  signs  or  signals  is 
a  factor  in  a  considerable  percentage  of  all 
traffic  collisions." 

Caldwell  emphasized  his  statement  b\' 
pointing  at  figures  for  pedestrian  fatalities 
during  1953. 

"There  were  785  pedestrians  killed  in 
California  last  year.  In  practically  every 
instance  either  the  pedestrian  himself,  or 
a  thoughtless  motorist  ignored  or  dis- 
obeyed signs  or  pa\  ement  markings.. More 
than  35  per  cent  of  these  victims  were 
crossing  the  strccr  at  interesections,"  he 
said.

SEX  CRIME  INVESTIGATION 

(Continued  from  page  6) 

cept  a  plea  to  a  charge  of  disorderly  con- 
duct or  breach  of  the  peace  rather  than  the 
more  definite  offenses  of  sodomy,  carnal 
knowledge,  and  indecent  liberties. 

The  public  is  not  without  blame  in  per- 
mitting this  situation  to  grow  unchecked. 
It  is  easy  to  find  hundreds  of  persons  in  a 
community  who  will  give  you  information 
concerning  individuals  who  are  suspected 
pedophiles,  exhibitionists  and  Peeping 
Toms,  but  if  you  ask  one  of  those  persons 
to  sign  a  complaint  or  to  appear  against 
the  suspect,  you  find  that  you  are  suddenly 
alone.  One  of  the  principal  reasons  ad- 
vanced by  police  chiefs  throughout  the 
country  for  their  failure  to  successfully 
combat  the  increasing  figures  of  sex  de- 
linquency is  the  noncooperation  of  the 
public  and  the  reluctance  of  their  wit- 
nesses. Police  officers  can  investigate  a  case 
but  in  the  absence  of  a  confession,  he  needs 
reliable,  cooperative  witnesses  to  appear  in 
court  and  make  the  proper  identification. 

In  1953,  the  Pennsylvania  Chiefs  of  Po- 
lice Association  considered  these  problems 
and  decided  that  one  of  the  best  ways  to 
deal  with  the  matter  was  to  bring  the  of- 
fender out  into  the  white  light  of  publicity. 
Our  Educational  Committee,  headed  by 
Ray  J.  Abbaticchio,  Jr.,  and  Fred  J.  Hall- 
ford,  special  agents  in  charge  of  the  Phila- 
delphia and  Pittsburgh  FBI  offices,  real- 
ized that  this  course  of  study  was  a  radical 
change  in  police  school  training,  inasmuch 
as  most  schools  deal  with  it  in  a  superficial 
manner  and  do  not  go  into  detailed  defini- 
tion, explanation  and  investigative  proced- 
ures. 

Walter  V.  McLaughlin,  special  agent, 
Philadelphia  FBI  Office,  was  assigned  to 
the  research  of  material  and  compilation 
of  a  9-hour  course.  By  October  1,  1953, 
the  course  of  training  was  ready  and  FBI 
instructors  began  teaching  "Sex  Crime  In- 
vestigations" at  various  schools  through- 
out the  state. 

Never  has  the  desire  of  police  officers 
to  secure  training  been  demonstrated  in  a 
more  definite  manner  than  by  the  fact  that 
during  the  period  of  October  1,  1953,  to 
March  31,  1954,  over  4,000  officers  in  the 
state  of  Pennsylvania  attended  80  schools 
of  this  type. 

In  Philadelphia,  Commissioner  Thom- 
as J.  Gibbons  put  1,400  policemen  and 
women  through  a  series  of  23  schools  and 
has  made  the  course  of  instruction  a  com- 
ponent part  of  all  future  recruit  training 
schools. 

In  Lackawanna  County,  District  At- 
torney Carlln  M.  O'Malley  sponsored 
one  of  the  training  courses  and  insisted 
that  his  entire  staff  attend  the  classes,  to- 
gether with  over  a  hundred  other  county 
law  enforcement  officers. 

The  purpose  of  the  training  was  as

Samuel  Siegle,  director  of  the  Pennsyl- 
vania Chiefs  of  Police  Association,  said, 
"not  to  determine  what  causes  a  man  to 
commit  these  crimes  or  what  should  be 
done  to  cure  him,  but  rather  to  teach  the 
police  officer  to  know  and  detect  these  of- 
fenses, to  apprehend  the  offender  and 
make  certain  that  an  adequate  case  is  pre- 
sented in  court." 

In  view  of  the  enthusiastic  reception 
and  the  unprecedented  number  of  stu- 
dents attending  these  courses,  arrange- 
ments are  being  made  to  provide  an  ad- 
vanced course  in  1954-55  which  will  deal 
more  closely  with  interview  and  the  homo- 
sexual ramifications  attendant  upon  these 
types  of  crimes.  The  general  outline  of  the 
instant  curriculum  was : 

1.  Definitions  and  e.xplanation  of  sex 
offenses. 

2.  Investigative  techniques. 

3.  Laboratory  techniques. 

4.  Witness — suspect  identification. 

5.  Laws  dealing  with  sex  offenses. 

6.  Preventive  measures. 

1  feel  that  the  above  training  program, 
endorsed  by  the  FBI  and  the  Pennsyl- 
vania Chiefs  of  Police  Asociation,  will  do 
much  to  alert  and  educate  the  police  offi- 
cer, and  this,  in  turn,  will  have  as  a  con- 
sequence the  curbing  of  sex  offenses. 


CAPITAL  IDEA 

A  motorist  found  it  necessary  to  re- 
place the  gas  cap  on  his  automobile  and 
inadvertently  use  a  radiator  cap  instead. 
Because  the  radiator  cap  was  not  vented, 
his  gasoline  tank  collapsed  shortly  after- 
wards due  to  the  vacuum  created  in  it  as 
the  gas  was  withdrawn,  the  California 
State  Automobile  Association  reports.  In 
the  event  you  need  to  replace  the  gas  cap 
on  your  car,  be  sure  you  use  a  cap  that  is 
vented. 


PEDAL  DANCER 

Remember  the  less  you  need  to  use 
your  brakes,  the  better  driver  you  are, 
says  the  California  State  Automobile 
Association.    Don't    be   a    pedal    dancer 

driver. 

QUICK  BRAKING 

Quick,  positive  braking  means  locked 
wheels  and  locked  wheels  slide,  warns 
the  National  Automobile  Club.  Sudden 
application  of  the  brakes  and  consequent 
sliding  of  the  tires  is  a  costly  practice 
on  a  dry  road,  but  when  the  roadwa\  is 
wet  and  slipper\  such  practice  may  end 
in  disaster. 


SAFE  SPEED 

On  this  coming  Fourth  of  July  week 
end,  and  at  all  times,  drive  at  a  safe 
speed,  advises  the  National  Automobile 
Club.

results  despite  almost  insurmountable  ob- 
stacles, most  of  which  we  do  not  meet 
today. 

Realization  of  the  \ital  importance,  in 
our  government,  of  law  enforcement  of  a 
high  caliber  has  brought  about  a  changed 
attitude  on  the  part  of  enlightened  public 
officials.  In  1939,  at  the  Forty-sixth  An- 
nual Conference  of  the  International  As- 
sociation of  Chiefs  of  Police  held  in  San 
Francisco,  California,  the  Honorable  Earl 
Warren,  then  Governor  of  California, 
stated : 

"And  in  my  humble  opinion,  whether 
or  not  democracy  is  to  succeed  depends 
more  upon  whether  or  not  we  ha\e  good, 
honest  and  efficient  local  government  than 
any  other  combination  of  circumstances  or 
things.  And  whether  or  not  we  are  to  have 
good  local  government  depends  upon  you, 
depends  upon  the  police  departments  of 
this  country,  because  you  perform  the  im- 
portant functions  of  local  government." 
Enlarged  Resources  and 
Improved  Services 

No  institution  stands  still ;  it  either 
progresses  or  fails  to  keep  pace  with 
changing  times.  'Fhe  state  police  service 
has  not  stood  still  in  the  dynamic  stream 
of  social  changes  we  have  witnessed  in  the 
past  three  decades.  What  is  true  in  Con- 
necticut is  true  elsewhere.  In  1928  the 
State  Police  Department  in  Connecticut, 
like  most  of  the  state  forces  existing  at 
that  time,  had  a  small  complement  of  men 
housed  mostly  in  rented  barracks  which 
were  not  designed  for  the  use  to  which 
they  were  being  put.  The  men  worked 
extremely  long  hours,  and  there  was  no 
round-the-clock  patrol  service  such  as  we 
now  have.  Officers  were  expected  to  spend 
many  nights  at  the  barracks  on  stand-b\- 
duty  in  case  of  emergency.  No  preventi\e 
patrol  service  was  attempted  on  an  organ- 
i/.ed  basis  during  the  night  hours.  If  a 
complaint  was  received,  an  officer  was 
called  from  his  bed  and  often  had  to  drive 
many  miles  to  reach  the  complainant.  Bar- 
racks were  run  on  an  individual  basis, 
with  very  little  policy  control  from  a  top 
administrative  level. 

Public  relations  were  hardh'  consid- 
ered, and  the  public  knew  little  of  the  op- 
eration of  the  state  police  except  as  their 
enforcement  action  reached  the  public 
|)ress.  Communications  with  state  police 
on  the  highway  were  of  the  most  uncertain 
type.  Training  was  adequate  to  meet  the 
demands  of  the  times,  and  officers  entering 
the  department  in  1921  attended  a  train- 
ing school.  Rut  needed  equipment  other 
than  automobiles  and  motorcycles  was  not 
often  available. 

Supervision  and  control  of  the  state  po- 
lice officer  is  one  of  the  real  problems  of 
state-wide  policing,  and  brings  many  prob-

lems  to  the  administrator.  State  officers  do 
not  operate  under  the  watchful  eye  of  a 
patrol  sergeant  or  a  lieutenant  as  in  the 
city  service,  where  beats  and  other  patrol 
areas  are  more  or  less  restricted.  Fhere  is 
no  system  of  call  boxes  in  rural  areas  to 
check  and  communicate,  with  the  person- 
nel in  the  field.  Earh'  eilforts  to  use  a  time- 
clock  system  at  various  points  on  patrols 
proved  impractical  and  were  quickly 
abandoned.  The  solution  was  found  to  lie 
in  a  close  and  careful  check  on  the  reports 
of  operation  submitted  by  each  officer,  cov- 
ering his  activities,  rather  than  on  at- 
tempts to  supervise  him  directly. 

Today  the  time  and  location  of  the  offi- 
cer's patrol  contacts,  his  report  of  services 
rendered  to  the  public,  is  supplemented  by 
the  use  of  the  radiotelephone.  These  radio 
calls  report  checks  of  sensitive  points  in 
patrol  areas  and  periodic  checks  by  radio 
during  the  night  hours,  coupled  with  spot 
checks  by  patrol  supervisors,  serving  to 
pro\ide  a  degree  of  field  supervision  not 
previously  possible. 

Direct  supervision  by  captains  over  all 
major  crimes,  traffic  problems,  and  unus- 
ual emergencies  in  their  respective  dis- 
tricts brings  top  administrative  control 
into  the  field  and  ser\es  to  unif\'  policies 
and  operations.  A  s\stem  of  rotation  of 
field  captains  further  aids  this  unit)'  of 
procedures  and  operations  in  all  areas  of 
the  state  to  achieve  the  administrative  aim 
of  unity  of  action  and  state-wide  co-ordin- 
ation. 

These  changes  ha\e  resulted  in  an  in- 
crease in  supervisory  personnel  which  is 
absolutely  necessar\  because  of  the  very 
nature  and  wide  extent  of  individual  op- 
erations in  the  state  police  service.  It  is 
at  this  point  that  many  state  administra- 
tors have  the  greatest  control  problem, 
and  it  is  the  point  at  which  many  admin- 
istrative failures  occur.  The  increase  in 
command  personnel  opens  new  avenues  of 
ad\ancement  and  inspires  greater  acti\ity 
on  the  part  of  the  men  eligible  for  such  ad- 
vancement. Efficient  operation  to  render 
proper  public  service  requires  24-hour 
coverage  in  the  field,  and  since  1938  this 
has  been  established  in  many  state  police 
departments. 

Sufficient  personnel  increases  to  meet 
this  extended  service  were  not  immedi- 
ately available,  and  manpower  had  to  be 
utilized  to  its  best  advantage.  Every  good 
administrator  is  constantly  striving  to  in- 
crease the  efficiency  of  his  personnel,  and 
the  question  is  not  how  many  men  be  has 
at  his  service,  but  rather  how  good  is  the 
available  manpower. 

In  many  departments  a  sound  program 
of  public  relations  has  been  instituted  dur- 
ing the  period  under  review,  which  has 
helped  to  obtain  tlu-  needed  public  under- 
standing and  legis!  itive  support.  A  police 
department  must  fnst  do  a  good  job  of  po-

licing  with  the  rcsouixes  at'  hand,  and 
then  must  tell  the  public  it  serves  of  the 
nature  and  the  quality  of  that  job.  We 
must  show  the  citizens  what  they  are  get- 
ting for  their  money  invested  for  police 
service,  and  convince  them  that  the  police 
have  nothing  to  sell  but  their  services, 
many  of  which  prove  unpopular  with  a 
considerable  segment  of  the  public.  This 
changing  concept  of  public  relations  has 
proved  to  be  one  of  the  most  important 
changes  in  administrative  procedure. 

During  this  same  period,  great  advances 
have  been  made  in  communications.  Many 
state  departments  have  installed  teletype- 
writer systems  and  improvements  in  radio- 
telephone communications.  The  latter  has 
proved  to  be  a  boon  to  the  state  police 
service.  The  thin  web  of  control  over  the 
officer  in  the  field  has  been  strengthened, 
and  the  officer  on  patrol  is  now  as  near  to 
his  immediate  supervisor  as  to  the  radio 
sc'l  in  his  patrol  car,  thus  greatly  incrca.'.- 
ing  the  efficiency  of  the  service. 

Declining  Opposition  of 
Organized  Labor 

In  the  early  days  of  state  police,  the 
sponsors  of  such  police  services  met  head 
on  with  the  opposition  of  organized  labor. 
In  many  states  organized  labor  was  deeph" 
concerned  about  the  attempt  to  establish 
and  increase  state  police  services,  fearing 
that  such  organizations  would  be  used  in 
strikes.  Several  eastern  industrial  states 
were  confronted  with  this  opposition,  and 
in  some  instances  special  legislation  con- 
trolled the  use  of  state  police  In  labor 
strikes. 

State  highway  patrols  established  in  the 
past  three  decades  have  not  been  con- 
fronted with  this  problem,  as  their  police 
powers  are  often  limited  strictly  to  the 
state  highways.  Many  states  have  passed 
legislation  restricting  the  use  of  state  po- 
lice in  labor  matters,  placing  the  responsi- 
bilitv  on  the  governor  of  the  state  by  re- 
quiring his  approval  for  use  of  the  police 
at  strike  scenes.  Other  states  require,  espe- 
cially in  municipalities  having  local  organ- 
ized police  forces,  a  written  request  and 
the  approval  of  the  chief  of  police  and  the 
executive  officer  of  the  municipality  in 
order  to  call  upon  the  state  police  for  as- 
sistance in  preserving  the  peace. 

AVhile  this  opposition  by  organized  la- 
bor has  been  on  the  decline  in  the  past  de- 
cade, experienced  state  police  administra- 
tors are  fully  aware  of  the  pressure  ex- 
erted in  manv  places  when  state  police  are 
sought  to  maintain  law  and  order  at  strike 
scenes.  Administrators  are  also  aware  of 
the  manv  changes  in  state  and  national 
laws  relative  to  the  use  of  police  powers 
at  such  places.  The  use  of  too  few  or  too 
man\'  policemen  at  a  strike  scene  often  de- 
termines the  attitude  of  those  engaged  in 
labor's  opposition  to  increasing  state  police 
personnel.

In  Connecticut,  a  successful  poIic\'  was 
established  by  Governor  Raymond  E.  Bal- 
dwin, now  Associate  Justice  of  the  Con- 
necticut Supreme  Court.  In  1946  he  de- 
clared : 

"We  pursued  a  policy  that  I  submit  all 
state  police  departments  ought  to  pursue. 
In  the  past  it  has  always  been  customary 
for  the  police  to  use  the  facilities  of  the 
factory  at  which  a  strike  was  in  progress, 
making  their  headquarters  there,  and 
being  fed  there.  Thus,  they  might  have 
the  appearance  of  being  supporters  of  the 
employer  when,  as  a  matter  of  fact,  they 
should  be  impartial  keepers  of  the  peace 
between  the  disputant  factions.  The  State 
Police  Commissioner  wisely  provided  all 
of  the  facilities  needed  by  the  state  police, 
food,  and  otherwise,  outside  the  gate  of 
the  plant." 

Decline  of  the  Constable 
AND  Sheriff 

The  office  of  constable  is  the  oldest  in 
police  history.  It  comes  down  from  medie- 
\al  law.  At  one  time  the  constable  was  in 
general  the  leader  of  the  royal  armies  and 
had  cognizance  in  all  matters  in  war  and 
arms,  exercising  both  ci\il  and  military 
jurisdiction.  He  was  a  high  functionary 
under  the  French  and  English  kings,  the 
dignity  and  importance  of  whose  office 
were  second  only  to  those  of  the  monarch. 

In  American  law,  the  constable  is  an 
officer  of  a  municipal  corporation,  elected 
by  the  people,  whose  duties  are  similar  to 
those  of  the  sheriff.  Though  his  powers 
are  the  same,  his  jurisdiction  is  smaller. 

The  sheriff  likewise  comes  down 
through  the  ages,  and  is  the  principal 
peace  officer  in  every  county,  being  chosen 
by  popular  election  in  nearly  all  states.  His 
chief  duties  are  in  aid  of  criminal  courts 
and  civil  courts,  and  he  has  original  juris- 
diction in  all  criminal  matters.  Before  the 
era  of  state  police  departments  in  this 
country,  the  sheriff  was  the  high  enforce- 
ment official  of  criminal  laws  in  each 
county,  while  the  constable  had  equal 
power  in  the  town  for  which  he  was 
elected.  The  formal  authority  of  both  of- 
fices still  stands,  though  their  participa- 
tion in  law  enforcement  is  steadily  declin- 
ing. 

In  the  dexelopment  of  this  country 
through  the  years,  centers  of  population 
have  banded  together  to  form  cities,  which 
needed  more  protection  than  the  sheriff  of 
the  county  or  the  local  constable  could 
provide.  City  police  departments  ha\c 
been  gi\en  the  same  powers  relating  to 
criminal  matters  as  sheriffs  and  constables. 
Citizens  look  to  the  police  department  for 
the  investigation  and  detection  of  crime, 
rather  than  to  the  elected  official. 

Through  experience,  education,  and 
public  relations,  the  people  in  rural  areas 
look  to  the  state  police  for  the  enforce- 
ment of  the  crimin.il  law.

The  development  of  the  motor  vehicle 
era  has  also  brought  the  need  for  more 
police  officers,  and  the  enforcement  of  law 
has  in  most  places  been  left  to  a  larger 
force  of  men  with  wider  jurisdiction,  than 
those  designated  to  county  and  town 
officials. 

In  Connecticut  prior  to  1939,  the  local 
constable  received  compensation  for  his  ef- 
forts through  a  fee  system.  'Ihis  amounted 
to  a  statutory  regulation  compensating 
him  for  each  arrest  that  he  made,  whether 
the  person  arrested  was  convicted  or  not. 
If  convicted,  the  accused  paid  the  costs  of 
the  court,  in  which  were  computed  the 
constable's  fee,  and  those  of  the  justice 
of  the  peace  and  the  prosecuting  grand 
juror.  When  this  law  was  changed,  the 
constable  was  still  elected  to  office,  but 
after  his  election  he  was  appointed  b\-  the 
first  selectman  of  the  town  to  be  the  spe- 
cial constable  and  to  receive  compensation 
from  the  town.  This  amount  of  compensa- 
tion was  so  small  that  most  elected  con- 
stables did  not  care  for  this  appointment. 
The  local  constable  likewise  serves  ci\'il 
process,  for  which  his  compensation  is  reg- 
ulated by  statute.  The  trend  in  the  past 
twenty-five  years  in  civil  matters  is  for  the 
writs  to  be  served  through  the  office  of  the 
high  sheriff.  He  in  turn  doles  out  these 
services  to  his  deputies,  as  he  has  jurisdic- 
tion in  more  than  one  town. 

So  from  a  position  of  highest  import- 
ance in  medieval  times,  through  the  evolu- 
tion of  living  standards,  the  constable  is 
now  relegated  to  a  position  of  little  service 
to  the  community. 

The  sheriffs  have  fared  better  with  the 
general  public,  in  that  they  are  salaried 
county  officials,  elected  in  most  places  for 
a  two-  or  four-)'ear  term.  In  the  East, 
through  popular  demand,  the  sheriff  has 
gradualh'  relinquished  his  powers  in  crim- 
inal matters  to  local  organized  police  de- 
partments. However,  in  some  sections  the 
governing  bodies  of  counties  still  retain 
the  sheriffs,  who  have  organized  patrol 
systems  and  deputies  residing  in  the  many 
towns  within  their  precincts.  These  sher- 
iffs are  from  the  old  school,  and  through 
politics  have  been  able  to  succeed  them- 
selves in  office  through  many  years.  In  the 
Middle  ^Vest  and  the  Far  ^Vest,  the  sher- 
iff retains  much  of  his  popularity  of  fron- 
tier days. 

\'et  the  shifting  population  of  this  coun- 
try, the  growth  of  urban  areas,  the  reloca- 
tion of  various  industries  throughout  the 
country,  all  tend  to  burden  the  adaptabil- 
ity of  the  sheriff  and  the  constable  to  cur- 
rent public  needs. 
Mounted  Versus  Motor  P atrdi.s 
Mounted  units  have  gradualh  disap- 
peared from  state  police  forces  as  services 
and  responsibilities  ha\e  changed.  In 
many  instances  they  ha\e  been  casualties 
of  the  machine  age.

Pennsylvania  is  among  the  states  which 
retain  a  nioimted  unit,  although  at  present 
its  strength  has  been  reduced  to  a  mini- 
mum. This  mounted  unit  has  proved  its 
value  in  that  state  and  is  considered  good 
insurance  for  the  maintenance  "of  law  and 
order  in  riots  and  for  crowd  control  in 
large  gatherings  of  people. 

State  and  metropolitan  police  depart- 
ments which  now  maintain  mounted  units 
do  so  in  the  opinion  that  a  mounted  police- 
man is  worth  several  dismounted  men  in 
maintaining  order  at  outdoor  gatherings 
and  demonstrations,  where  exceptionally 
large  or  unruly  crowds  are  assembled.  Of 
course,  the  mounted  troopers  are  used  in 
co-operation  with  dismounted  patrolmen 
in  these  operations. 

At  large  outdoor  gatherings,  as  in  traffic 
work,  the  chief  advantages  of  the  mounted 
police  are  height  ami  mobility.  They  ire 
in  a  position  to  spot  a  difficulty  at  once, 
make  their  way  to  it  rapidly,  and  take  the 
situation  quickly  in  hand.  Their  work  is 
then  supplemented  by  the  foot  patrolman. 
Mounted  officers  command  a  respect  from 
a  crowd.  They  have  a  psychological  effect 
on  crowds,  since  the  average  person  is 
more  or  less  afraid  of  being  trampled  on 
b\-  the  horses'  feet. 

In  addition  to  these  listed  purposes, 
mounted  troopers  have  value  in  moun- 
tainous or  open  areas  in  searches  for  crim- 
inals or  lost  persons,  since  they  are  able 
to  reach  trails  and  spots  which  are  not  .ic- 
cessible  to  motor  vehicles.  Also,  their  use 
in  ceremonial  occasions  or  parades  is  im- 
pressive. 

Other  than  for  the  specific  uses  men- 
tioned, the  modern  methods  and  practices 
of  state  police  departments  have  been 
geared  to  cope  with  crime  and  traffic  in 
rural  areas  and  high-speed  parkways,  and 
the  use  of  horses  is  minor  or  nonexistent. 

Routine  state  police  criminal  and  high- 
way patrol  work  necessitates  the  use  of 
high-powered  cars  provided  with  radio  re- 
ceivers and  transmitters,  red  flashing 
lights,  sirens,  first-aid  kits,  emergency 
equipment  of  various  types,  and,  in  some 
instances,  specialized  facilities  such  as 
identification  kits  and  photographic  ap- 
paratus. This  equipment  has  the  effect  of 
turning  the  patrol  car  into  a  one-  or  two- 
man  mobile  substation  capable  of  ranging 
far  afield  from  its  base  station.  This  patrol 
car  may  be  used  as  a  field  station  to  carry 
prisoners,  or  even  may  be  pressed  into 
service  to  transport  injured  persons  to  the 
hospital.  In  this  age,  the  motor  patrol  has 
proved  its  value  in  all-round  police  work, 
whereas  mounted  troppers  are  limited  to 
specialized  services  in  a  local  area. 

Even  the  "iron  liorse" — the  motorcycle 
—  has  been  retired  from  active  service  by 
many  progressive  state  police  forces  dur- 
ing the  past  decade.  The  motorcycles 
which  formerly  were  used  for  patrol  serv-

ice  on  the  highways  have  been  withdrawn 
from  active  patrol  service  in  many  in- 
stances and  are  now  used  strictly  on  as- 
signments such  as  parades,  ceremonies, 
crowd  control,  and  liaison  work.  Alotor- 
cycles  used  in  such  efforts  are  ordinarily 
radio-equipped  for  control  purposes.  Use 
of  motorcycles  at  present,  however,  is 
ordinarily  dependent  on  clear  and  dry 
weather. 

The  all-purpose  jeep,  with  its  four- 
wheel  drive,  is  fast  replacing  both  the 
horse  and  the  motorcycle.  This  vehicle, 
properly  equipped  with  radio,  :;iren,  red 
Hashing  light,  and  trailer  hitch,  is  indeed 
an  all-purpose  instrument.  Some  of  the 
jobs  for  which  it  has  been  utilized  in  state 
police  work  are  perimeter  crowd  control, 
parade  crowd  control,  searches  for  lost 
persons  or  criminals  in  terrain  unsuitable 
for  patrol  cars,  and  towing  rescue  boats 
and  emergency  equipment  to  trouble 
scenes. 

Modern  inventions,  it  is  apparent,  have 
numbered  the  days  of  the  state  police  horse, 
even  though  some  of  the  old  color  and 
glory  of  the  early  troopers  must  also  dis- 
appear as  a  consequence. 

Civil  Service  Controls  Expand 

Unlike  most  other  types  of  public  0111- 
ployment,  admission  to  the  state  police 
force  is  not  predicated  on  special  qualifica- 
tions, vocational  experience,  professional 
training,  or  even  general  education  in  most 
instances.  Recruits  are  sought  among 
young  men  and  women  of  good  character 
and  sound  physical  constitution,  who  ap- 
pear to  be  able  to  learn  what  the  police 
force  has  to  teach  them,  and  who  it  is 
hoped  will  prove  adaptable  to  the  condi- 
tions of  police  service. 

Two  decades  ago,  the  majority  of  state 
police  departments  selected  their  recruits 
with  an  eye  not  only  on  their  qualifications 
but  also  on  their  political  affiliations  and 
activity.  In  a  few  forces,  high  standartis  of 
selection  and  promotion  were  maintained 
without  sharing  these  essential  powers 
with  civil  service  administrations.  Today, 
the  picture  has  changed  ;  civil  service  and 
its  occupational  counterpart,  the  merit 
system,  govern  recruit  selection  and  pro- 
motions in  the  majority  of  state  police 
forces. 

According  to  a  survey  of  state  enforce- 
ment units  undertaken  in  1950  by  the  In- 
ternational Association  of  Chiefs  of  Police, 
25  states  had  state  police  units  which  were 
invested  with  general  powers  in  criminal 
and  traffic  cases.  Of  these  25  state  police 
units,  13  operated  under  their  own  merit 
system,  5  were  under  civil  service,  and 
only  7  had  neither.  Further  inquiry  re- 
vealed that  13  state  police  organizations 
based  promotions  on  the  results  of  exam- 
inations, while  the  rest  did  not. 

For  any  group  of  police  administrators 
to  satisfy  the  demands  of  the  selection

process  with  full  justice  to  the  individuals 
concerned  and  with  due  regard  to  the 
overriding  interests  of  the  state  and  its 
citizens  proves  exceedingly  difficult.  Such 
difficulties  are  minor,  however,  when  com- 
pared with  those  confronting  personnel 
agencies  which  seek  to  deal  with  questions 
of  police  management.  In  some  states  the 
state  personnel  department  regularly 
turns  to  the  police  heads  for  aid  in  con- 
ducting written  and  oral  e.\aminations 
and  in  establishing  the  standards  for  serv- 
ice ratings,  while  in  many  others  this  close 
co-operation  still  is  lacking. 

AVhere  personnel  departments  set  up 
examination  procedures  independent  of 
the  police  administrator,  neither  the  police 
head  nor  the  ranking  officers  of  the  force 
can  directly  apply  any  of  their  own  wis- 
dom, police  sense,  or  experience  to  the 
primary  selection  of  recruits.  An  improve- 
ment on  this  system  would  permit  close 
collaboration  between  the  police  commis- 
sioner and  the  personnel  department  on 
the  scope  and  contents  of  written  exam- 
inations and  would  authorize  the  commis- 
sioner and  state  police  ranking  officers  to 
conduct  oral  examinations  of  aspirants 
for  appointment  and  promotion  and  to  ac- 
cord ratings  on  such  interviews. 

The  merit  system  rule  under  which  the 
appointing  authority  is  given  a  choice 
among  the  three  top  names  on  the  eligible 
list  works  well  enough  when  only  one  ap- 
pointment is  invohed,  but  often  state  po- 
lice appointments  must  be  made  in  large 
numbers  when  a  grcaip  is  bcng  selected 
for  training  or  when  a  policy  change 
makes  a  large  number  of  promotions 
necessary.  With  the  system  of  selecting 
one  applicant  from  three  names  and  ten 
applicants  from  twelve  names,  the  state 
police  head  actually  enjoys  less  freedom' 
of  selection  than  do  other  department 
heads.  It  would  prove  desirable  if  the  vwo- 
extra  names  rule  were  relaxed  for  state 
police  appointments,  by  providing  not  less 
than  twice  as  many  certifications  as  there 
are  places  to  be  filled. 

Even  with  various  faults,  the  civ  il  serv- 
ice or  merit  system  fulfills  the  needs  of  the 
police  service  much  more  satisfactoriK- 
than  the  system  of  appointment  on  a 
wholly  political  basis. 

Training  of  Recruits 
Every  state  police  department  and  the 
vast  majority  of  state  and  highway  patrols 
today  train  recruit  patrolmen  prior  to 
their  assignment  to  duty. There  is  little  dif- 
ference of  opinion  among  administrators 
today  regarding  tlie  need  for  training  of 
recruit  police  officers  prior  to  their  under- 
taking active  duty  in  the  field.  This  train- 
ing is  recognized  as  a  necessity  without 
which  no  recruit  c\in  render  his  best  '..erv- 
ice  to  the  public  for  whom  he  labors. 

It  is  plainl\'  understood  that  some  form 
of  training  will  take  place  in  any  police

department  even  if  no  classroom  instruc- 
tion and  practice  are  made  available  to  the 
recruit.  Ihe  costly  process  of  trial-and- 
error  training  has  given  way  to  formal  re- 
cruit instruction. 

An  awakened  public  demand  for  more 
efficient  police  service  has  been  the  moti- 
vating force  for  improvement  in  training 
methods  in  many  cases,  but  in  the  majority 
of  our  more  advanced  police  departments, 
improvements  have  come  as  a  result  of  a 
desire  on  the  part  of  the  administration  of 
these  departments  to  render  better  the 
public  service  they  are  sworn  to  provide. 

While  there  is  general  agreement 
among  police  administrators  as  to  the  !ie- 
cessity  for  recruit  traim'ng,  great  dii^^er- 
ence  of  opinion  arises  as  to  what  kind  of 
training  and  how  much  of  that  training 
should  be  undertaken.  The  length  of  the 
training  period  varies  from  department  to 
ilepartment,  and  the  subject  matter  and 
methods  of  presentation  also  differ.  I'here 
is  no  set  standard.  Each  department  must 
be  governed  by  the  available  material, 
time,  and  funds,  and  must  do  its  best 
within  the  means  provided. 

Police  Co-operation 
Police  co-operation  shows  a  tendency  to 
expand,  but  the  future  of  this  co-operation 
must  rest  upon  the  mutual  good  faith  of 
the  agencies  concerned.  At  the  beginning 
of  the  present  century,  many  of  the  devices 
which  now  aid  co-operation,  such  as  radio, 
teletype,  and  telephone,  were  unknown  in 
many  police  departments  and  were  not 
seriously  considered  in  others. 


PRIVILEGE 

Always  remember  that  driving  an 
automobile  is  a  privilege  granted  by  so- 
ciety and  not  a  right  bestowed  by  Provi- 
dence, reminds  the  California  State 
Automobile  Association.  It  is  a  privilege 
that  can  be  taken  away  any  time  you 
show  disrespect  for  life  or  property. 


POWER  BRAKES 

Most  automobile  power-brake  systems 
depend  on  vacuum  supplied  by  the  en- 
gine and  an  electrical  vacuum  pump  for 
full  efficiency.  If  you  are  driving  an  auto- 
mobile equipped  with  such  power  brakes 
and  are  unable  to  start  the  engine  be- 
cause the  battery  is  run  down,  it  is  un- 
wise to  have  another  driver  give  you  a 
p\ish  or  to  try  to  start  your  car  by  rolling 
down  hill  because  your  car  does  not  have 
its  full  braking  strength.  The  California 
State  Automobile  Association  advises 
calling  a  garage  serviceman,  instead  of 
getting  a  push,  when  unable  to  start  a 
car  with  power  brakes  in  the  normal 
manner.

Yom  Kelly,  Chief  of  Division  of  Com- 
nuinications,  Office  of  Civil  Defense, 
spoke  on  Civil  Defense  problems  and  on 
matching  funds.  So  far  this  year 
$2,500,000  in  Communications  Applica- 
tions for  matching  funds  have  been 
processed. 

Fred  Crowder  requested  additional 
discussion  on  the  reply  to  Walter 
Williams.  After  some  discussion  he  made 
a  motion  which  was  seconded  by  Simons 
that  CPRA  Executive  Committee  pre- 
pare a  suitable  draft  of  a  letter  of  reply 
to  be  sent  to  ^^^alter  Williams  in  order 
to  clarify  an  apparent  misunderstanding. 

A  general  discussion  followed  on  the 
advisability  of  a  semi-annual  joint  meet- 
ing to  expedite  the  inter-change  of  im- 
mediate problems.  On  a  motion  by 
Miller  the  Presidents  of  the  two  organi- 
zations were  directed  to  call  a  business 
meeting  of  the  Executive  Committees 
and  other  related  committees  in  the  fall 
of  each  year.  This  was  approved  by  the 
membership,  with  the  suggestion  that  it 
be  held  at  the  same  time  as  the  fall 
meeting  of  the  League  of  California

SHORT  COURSES 

(Continued  from  page  9) 

"Only  by  adequate  enforcement,  intelli- 
gent traffic  supervision,  and  the  full  use 
of  all  scientific  resources  can  we  solve  the 
problem  of  congestion  and  reduce  the 
death  rate  on  our  streets  and  highways," 
said  Franklin  M.  KremI,  director  of  the 
Traffic  Institute  of  Northwestern  Uni- 
versity, Evanston,  111.,  in  announcing 
three  short  courses  for  police  and  other 
traffic  specialists  to  be  offered  by  the  In- 
stitute late  this  fall. 

The  three  units  are :  "Traffic  Law  for 
Police,"  "Traffic  Control  —  Devices  and 
Methods  for  Police,"  and  "Chemical 
Tests  for  Intoxication." 

Beginning  November  8  and  running  to 
December  18,  the  series  is  scheduled  so 
that  police  departments  and  other  agen- 
cies may  send  representatives  to  two  or 
three  units  of  instruction  with  no  increase 
in  travel  costs. 

The  first  course,  "Traffic  Law  for  Po- 
lice," November  8  to  24,  is  designed  for 
court  officers  also,  and  will  be  concerned 
with  criminal  and  civil  traffic  laws,  the 
rules  of  evidence  and  the  laws  of  arrest, 
the  selection  of  charges,  case  preparation, 
and  the  role  of  the  traffic  officer  in  court. 

In  addition,  the  course  will  cover  traffic 
legislation  and  the  organization  and  oper- 
ation of  traffic  courts,  as  well  as  the  func- 
tion of  violations  bureaus  and  the  nature 
of  the  civil  suit. 

It  will  be  taught  by  Robert  L.  Doni- 
gan,  counsel,  Edward  C.  Fisher,  associate 
counsel,'  and  Gerald  O'Connell,  director 
of  training,  all  of  the  Traffic  Institute. 

The  second  course,  "Traffic  Control  — 
Devices  and  Methods  for  Police,"  No- 
vember 29  to  December  10,  is  designed 
for  police  officers  who  must  handle  traffic 
engineering  duties,  or  who  wish  to  learn 
the  best  ways  and  means  of  traffic  control. 

This  course  will  cover  traffic  engineer- 
ing principles  and  techniques,  uses  and 
types  of  signs,  curb  parking  and  its  regu- 
lation, accident  location  analysis,  pedes- 
trian control,  one-way  streets,  the  opera- 
tion of  point  and  intersection  control,  and 
field  surveys. 

It  will  be  taught  by  George  W.  Barton, 
traffic  engineering  consultant.  Traffic  In- 
stitute ;  Adrian  Koert,  traffic  engineer.  As- 
sociated Consultants,  Evanston,  and  Mr. 
O'Connell. 

The  third  course,  "Chemical  Tests  for 
Intoxication,"  December  13  to  18,  is  of- 
fered for  police,  judges,  and  health  and 
medical  laboratory  technicians,  and  will 
take  up  the  effects  of  alcohol  and  the  value 
and  legality  of  chemical  tests. 

Students  will  be  shown  in  the  labora- 
tory how  to  conduct  blood,  breath,  and 
urine  tests  for  determining  intoxication, 
and  how  to  present  the  results  of  these 
tests  in  court.

L.  N.  Petersen,  Police  and  Fire  Commis- 
sioner Ted  Barr,  and  council  members 
Mory  Robb,  Glen  Armstrong  and  Har- 
old Hickman.  1  he  department  cooper- 
ates with  all  law  enforcement  agencies  in 

Chief  Armstrong  has  the  full  coopera- 
tion from  them. 

A  public  relations  program  has  been 
instituted  by  the  department  and  oper- 
ated successfully.  AH  member  of  the  de- 
partment are  carefully  selected  and  in- 
vestigated before  hiring. 

Crime  has  been  kept  to  a  minimum. 
Due  to  the  officer's  interest  and  training, 
most  crimes  are  solved  in  short  order. 
Officers  often  work  hours  overtime  in  in- 
vestigation and  followup  work.  The  of- 
ficer's work  as  a  team  and  morale  in  the 
department  is  high. 

Chief  Armstrong  operates  a  cattle 
ranch  with  the  help  of  his  two  sons. 
Buddy,  17,  and  Phillip,  Q.  Both  boys 
have  cattle  and  horses  and  equipment  of 
their  own  and  are  old  cow  hands.  Buddy 
has  several  registered  Angus  cattle  and 
has  won  many  prizes  and  ribbons  at  fairs. 
He  has  champion  and  Grand  Champion 
ribbons  and  has  won  first  place  in  show- 
manship several  times.  Phillip  plans  to 
follow  in  his  brother's  footsteps  as  soon 
as  he  is  old  enough  to  enter  his  stock  at 
the  fairs.  He  has  Hereford  cattle.  Music 
and  leather  are  the  chief's  hobbies.  At 
one  time  he  was  a  saddle  maker  and  still 
has  all  his  tools.  He  makes  many  hol- 
sters, belts  and  so  forth  for  members  of 
the  department.  Mrs.  Armstrong  is  the 
former  Georgia  Yancey  of  Tollhouse, 
California. 

The  chief  works  and  cooperates  with 
civic  groups  and  appears  often  as  a  speak- 
er for  many  organizations.  He  has  been 
especially  active  in  civil  defense  organi- 
zations. 


In  1953,  2,140,000  American  were  in- 
jured in  traffic  accidents. 

*  *       « 

There  were  50,000  more  persons  in- 
jured in  U.S.  motor  vehicle  accidents  last 
year  than  in  1952. 

*  #        * 

Speeding  on  U.S.  streets  and  highways 
last  year  killed  13,870  men,  women  and 

children.

Three  out  of  four  traffic  accidents  hap- 
pen in  clear  weather  on  dry  roads.

RIDE  INTO  OBLIVION 

(Continued  from  page  10) 

"Oh,  that's  all  right."  The  sandy- 
haired  man  looked  hurt. 

Rita's  companion,  fifteen  -  year  -  old 
1  hora  Chamberlain,  a  pretty,  grey-eyed 
brunette,  noticed  the  injured  look.  As 
Rita  walked  on  she  lagged  behind.  The 
sandy-haired  stranger  watched  her. 

"AVait  a  minute,"  she  said.  "How 
long  will  it  take?" 

"Only  about  a  half  hour,"  he  told  her 
eagerly.  "But  if  you're  going  to  a  foot- 
ball game  it  will  make  you  late." 

"That'  all  right,"  she  replied,  "I  can 
afford  to  miss  the  kickoff." 

Rita  Beiler  turned  around  in  time  to 
see  Thora  reach  toward  the  handle  of 
the  car  door. 

"Coming,  Thora?"  she  called. 

"Not  right  away.  I'm  going  to  watch 
the  children."  Thora  Chamberlain  hop- 
ped into  the  car  and  waved  at  her  friend. 
"Save  me  a  seat,"  she  called. 

Rita  watched  the  car  swing  around 
and  then  turn  south  on  the  Santa  Clara- 
Los  Gatos  road.  In  a  moment  it  was 
hidden  by  the  houses  and  fruit  trees  that 
lined  the  street.  She  shrugged  her  should- 
ers and  continued  toward  the  football 
field. 

It  was  two-thirty  p.m.  on  the  after- 
noon of  November  second  1945,  when 
Thora  Chamberlain  stepped  into  the 
sandv-haired  man's  car  in  front  of  Camp- 
bell High  School. 

Eight  hours  later  later,  William  J. 
Emig,  sherif?  of  Santa  Clara  Countv, 
awoke  from  a  deep  sleep  and  sleepily 
answered  his  phone.  He  listened  briefly, 
then   reached  for  apencil. 

"Now  wait  a  minute,"  he  interrupted, 
"let's  start  from  the  beginning.  What  is 
lour  name? 

"Frank  E.  Chamberlain.  I'm  a  con- 
tractor and  I  live  at  1071  Pine  Avenue, 
San  Jose."  In  soite  of  his  apparent  anx- 
iety, Y.nv"  noted  that  Chamberlain  seem- 
ed to  have  his  wits  about  him. 

"You  «av  vour  daughter  is  missing?" 
the  slT'riff  interjected.  "Can  vou  describe 
her?" 

Chamberlain  described  his  daughter 
and  what  she  was  wearing  in  detail, 
"bile  the  sherifif  made  careful  notes. 
When  \\f  was  through  Emig  glanced  at 
b;<:  watch. 

"It's  not  midnight  vet.  Couldn't  she 
hRvp  (rone  to  a  late  show?"  he  asked. 

"I  don't  think  ,so.  She  hasn't  been  seen 
s'oce  she  left  school  this  afternoon,  and 
she  alwavs  kept  in  touch  with  us.  Please 
trv  to  find  her."  The  voice  on  the  other 
pnd  of  the  wire  was  tense  with  emotion. 
Emig  promised  to  give  all  the  help  he 
could,  and  replaced  the  receiver  on  its 
hook.    He   glanced   at  his   notes  briefly.

then  picked  up  the  instrument  again.  His 
call  was  answered  almost  immediately. 

"Phil?  This  is  Bill  Emig.  Listen,  Phil, 
1  want  you  to  put  this  on  the  air  as  a 
missing  person  right  away.  Have  it  re- 
broadcast  every  fifteen  minutes.  Describe 
the  following  girl :  Thora  Chamberlain, 
age  15,  five  feet  three  inches  tall,  120 
pounds,  has  blue  eyes,  dark  brown,  wavy 
hair,  and  freckled.  Was  last  seen  in  front 
of  Campbell  High  School  at  2:30  p.m. 
today.  She  is  wearing  a  red  skirt,  white 
blouse,  blue  sweater,  red  and  blue  bobby 
socks,  and  brown  shoes.  Give  this  infor- 
mation to  the  San  Jose  police  and  the 
highway  patrol  also,  Phil.  Good  night." 
Emig  replaced  the  phone  on  its  stand, 
forgot  the  incident  for  the  moment,  and 
went  back  to  sleep. 

The  radio  calls  that  were  broadcast 
immediately  availed  nothing.  A  check  at 
the  Chamberlain  home  early  the  ne.xt 
morning  revealed  that  the  girl  had  not 
come  home  during  the  night.  By  that 
time  her  parents,  frantic  with  worry, 
were  convinced  that  their  daughter  had 
either  been  involved  in  a  serious  accident 
or  been  the  victim  of  foul  play.  Emig 
called  Deputy  Sheriff  Phil  Cuffaro  to  his 
office. 

"I  don't  know  what  this  is  all  about, 
Phil,"  Emig  admitted,  "but  the  girl  that 
was  missing  last  night  hasn't  turned  up. 
I  want  you  to  find  her,  if  she  can  be 
found.  It  may  be  that  she  is  just  another 
runaway,  although  considering  her  back- 
ground, it  doesn't  seem  likely.  On  the 
other  hand  there  may  be  something  more 
serious  involved.  An  accident,  or  kidnap- 
ping. Maybe  murder." 

"Who  saw  her  last?"  asked  Cufifaro. 

"I  don't  know,"  Emig  answered.  "Her 
father  wasn't  sure.  He  only  knows  that 
she  has  been  missing  ever  since  yesterday 
afternoon." 

"I'll  talk  to  the  family  and  check  up 
on  the  runaway  angle  first,"  Cuffaro  an- 
nounced. "Then  I'll  go  out  to  the  High 
School." 

At  1071  Pine  Avenue,  San  Jose,  Cuf- 
faro found  Frank  E.  Chamberlain, 
wealthy  San  Jose  building  contractor, 
and  his  wife  impatiently  awaiting  his 
arrival.  Deep  lines  of  worry  that  had 
worn  into  Chamberlain's  face  and  Mrs. 
Chamberlain's  reddened,  tear  stained 
eyes,  told  a  silent  story  of  the  sleepless 
night  that  preceded  his  arrival. 

"Thora  wouldn't  have  any  reason  to 
run  away,"  Mrs.  Chamberlain  replied  to 
Cuffaro's  initial  question.  "You  can  see 
she  has  more  than  the  average  'teen  age 
girl  and,  what's  more,  she  knows  she 
has." 

"Could  there  ha\  e  been  a  young  man  ?" 
t\iffaro  queried.    "Girls  that  age  do  get

ideas  about  wedding  bells  sometimes.  Is 
it  possible  that  she  could  have  decided  to 
run  off  and  get  married?  Go  to  Nevada, 
for  instance,  and  tell  a  fib  about  her 
age?" 

"I  don't  believe  so,"  returned  the  miss- 
ing girl's  mother.  "Thora  is  too  practical 
for  that.  She  likes  to  dance  and  we  let 
her  have  dates  for  school  dances  and 
movies.  But  she  is  too  practical  a  girl  to 
get  any  ideas  about  running  off  with  a 
high  school  boy." 

"It  was  just  a  possibility,"  murmured 
Cuffaro,  "we  have  to  look  into  every 
angle  of  these  cases,  you  know.  Could 
she  have  stayed  overnight  with  a  friend?" 

"She  would  have  notified  us  and  asked 
our  permission,"  answered  Chamberlain. 
"Thora  is  too  considerate  for  anything 
like  that.  And  as  far  as  the  boy  angle  is 
concerned,  she  doesn't  have  any  regular 
boy  friend.  She  has  the  same  interest  any 
normal  young  lady  does  in  the  opposite 
sex.  But  she  is  a  long  way  from  boy 
crazy." 

Satisfied  that  he  could  get  no  more  in- 
formation from  the  girl's  parents,  Cuf- 
faro proceeded  to  Campbell  High  School. 
There  he  interviewed  J.  J.  McQuestion, 
Thora's  science  teacher. 

"She  would  not  have  run  away,"  Mc- 
Question told  him.  "Thora  is  a  fine  girl. 
She  is  always  in  good  spirits,  bright,  and 
well  mannered.  The  type  of  girl  who  you 
would  expect  to  come  from  a  better  than 
average  home.  She  didn't  have  anything 
to  run  away  from." 

"Have  you  any  idea  who  saw  her 
last?" 

"You  might  try  Rita  Beiler,"  Harold 
Cramer,  the  missing  girl's  mathematics 
teacher  suggested.  "I  saw  Thora  leave 
the  building  with  her  about  two-thirty 
yesterday." 

Cuffaro  found  Rita  Beiler  on  the  ten- 
nis courts.  She  told  of  the  two  girls 
meeting  with  the  sandy-haired  man. 

"I  thought  she  was  coming  to  the 
game  "  said  Miss  Beiler.  "I  saved  her 
a  seat  during  the  first  quarter,  then  I 
gave  up.  The  last  thing  she  did  was  call 
to  me  to  save  her  a  seat." 

"Do  you  remember  what  the  man 
looked  like?" 

"Very  clearly.  He  was  sitting  down, 
but  he  seemed  like  a  big  man.  He  had  a 
lot  of  sandy  hair  and  a  long  nose  and  he 
wore  a  small  mustache.  I  think  he  must 
be  a  veteran." 

"What  made  you  think  so?"  Cuffaro 
was  busy,  pencil  in  hand,  recording  the 
school  girl's  testimony  in  a  note  book. 

"He  was  wearing  a  Navy  officer's  hat 
without  any  insignia." 

"What  else  was  he  wearing?"  queried 
the  deputy.

Rita  frowned.  "A  T-shirt.  That's  all 
I  could  see." 

"Can  you  describe  the  car?"  Cuffaro 
wanted  to  know. 

"It  was  an  old  one.  A  sedan  I  believe. 
But  I  couldn't  tell  you  what  model," 
Rita  replied. 

Through  Rita,  Cuffaro  located  a  sec- 
ond witness,  Shirley  Courtney,  who  told 
of  the  sandy-haired  stranger  hailing  her. 

"I  gave  him  a  dirty  look  and  walked 
on,"  she  told  the  deputy.  "I  thought  he 
was  in  the  Navy  because  of  his  hat. 
When  I  looked  around  Thora  and  Rita 
was  talking  to  him.  Then  Rita  walked 
on  and  Thora  got  into  the  car." 

Five  more  young  ladies,  all  students 
at  the  High  School,  told  of  seeing  Thora 
enter  the  automobile. 

"1  turned  to  ask  her  if  she  was  going 
to  the  football  game  and  I  saw  her  get- 
ting into  the  car,"  fifteen-year-old  Euo- 
line  Hall  testified.  "I  figured  she  wasn't 
going  to  the  game  so  I  went  on  without 
her.  The  car  passed  me  and  I  saw  Thora 
in  the  front  seat." 

Each  of  the  girls  described  the  driver 
of  the  car  as  appearing  large,  with  a  long 
nose,  small  moustache,  and  sandy  hair. 
They  all  remembered  the  service  cap  and 
T-shirt.  From  Ellen  Pearson,  the  last 
witness  to  appear,  Cuffaro  gained  addi- 
tional information. 

"1  couldn't  miss  the  car,"  she  told  the 
deputy.  "It  is  exactly  like  my  grand- 
father's. I  remember  wondering  if  my 
grandfather  was  around  when  I  saw  it 
parked  there." 

"Are  you  sure  about  the  driver's  ap- 
pearance," Cuffaro  wanted  to  know. 

Miss  Pearson  smiled.  "Of  course  I'm 
sure.  Every  girl  notices  what  the  fellow 
one  of  her  friends  is  with  looks  like." 

Unable  to  get  any  further  information 
at  the  High  School,  Cuffaro  checked 
with  Miss  Pearson's  grandfather  and 
discovered  that  he  owned  a  1933  model 
blue  Plymouth  four-door  sedan.  Having 
secured  this  data  the  deputy  returned  to 
the  sheriff's  office  to  report  to  his  chief. 
Briefly  Cuffaro  told  the  sheriff  what  he 
had  discovered.  Emig  frowned. 

"It  looks  bad.  Offhand  I'd  say  she  was 
lured  into  the  man's  car  under  false  pre- 
tenses and  then  kidnapped  after  she  was 
unable  to  escape  from  the  moving  ve- 
hicle," he  observed.  "Anyway,  you  did  a 
good  job.  I'm  going  to  get  the  descrip- 
tion of  the  man  and  the  car,  as  well  as 
the  girl,  on  the  three  state  teletype. 
Meanwhile  it  might  be  a  good  idea  for 
you  to  check  on  local  owners  of  1933 
Plymouth  sedans.  I  know  it  seems  like  a 
hopeless  job,  but  it's  the  only  lead  we've 
got.  Try  to  locate  the  ones  in  the  Camp- 
bell area."

"I  don't  think  it  was  a  local  man, 
chiet,"  the  deputy  commented.  "If  that 
man  had  been  from  a  town  as  small  as 
Campbell  one  of  those  girls  would  have 
been  sure  to  know  him.  Ihe  Chamber- 
lain girl  went  there  because  it  was  a 
small  school  with  a  congenial  atmosphere. 
Everybody  knows  everybody  else." 

"You're  probably  right,"  Emig  ob- 
served. "However,  we  have  to  start 
somewhere  and  we  might  as  well  work 
HI  a  widening  circle." 

The  sheriff  was  talking  on  the  tele- 
phone when  his  deputy  arrived  the  ne.xt 
morning.  He  motioned  the  deputy  to 
stand  by,  indicating  that  the  case  was 
important.  In  a  moment  he  cradled  the 
instrument  in  its  receiver  and  wheeled 
around  to  face  his  subordinate. 

"That  was  Tom  Best,  the  constable 
out  in  Saratoga,"  Emig  announced.  "He's 
got  some  information  I  think  you  had 
better  check  up  on.  Mrs.  Ella  Beaudoux, 
the  wife  of  Dr.  Henry  Beaudou.\,  says 
she  saw  a  girl  signalling  for  help  on  the 
Los  Gatos  highway  yesterday." 

In  Saratoga  Cuifaro  found  Mrs.  Beau- 
dou.\,  a  kindly,  grayhaired  woman, 
known  throughout  the  county  as  a  tal- 
ented musician  and  composer.  She  told 
the  deputy  that,  after  seeing  her  photo- 
graph in  the  newspaper,  she  was  positive 
the  girl  she  had  seen  was  Thora  Cham- 
berlain. Her  description  of  the  auto,  an 
old  model  of  dark  blue  color,  correspond- 
ing identically  with  the  1933  Plymouth 
he  was  searching  for. 

"It  was  only  an  accident  I  saw  it,"  she 
told  him.  "Usually  I  walk  down  the 
highway  for  my  mail  a  little  after  twelve 
o'clock.  Yesterday  I  didn't  go  out  until 
a  little  after  three  p.m." 

"As  1  crossed  the  highway  to  the  mail- 
bo.x  I  saw  this  automobile  traveling 
down  the  highway  at  a  great  rate  of 
speed.  I  stepped  back  off  the  highway  to 
let  it  pass,  and  because  it  was  moving  so 
fast,  I  looked  after  it. 

"The  sun  was  just  in  the  right  posi- 
tion so  that  I  could  see  a  young  girl  at 
the  back  window  with  a  terrified  expres- 
sion on  her  face,  clawing  at  the  window 
as  though  she  was  trying  to  get  out." 

"Why  didn't  you  notify  us  sooner?" 
the  deputy  wanted  to  know. 

A  smile  crossed  Mrs.Beaudoux's  kind- 
ly face,  then  a  frown.  "I  wish  I  had,"  she 
rernarked.  "I  did  as  soon  as  I  read  the 
papers  and  realized  what  I  had  seen. 
Rut  at  first  I  thought  it  was  probably 
just  a  family  fight.  A  person  doesn't  ex- 
pect to  witness  kidnappings,  you  know." 

Cuffaro  returned  to  the  sheriff's  office 
with  this  new  information.  His  chief's 
face  flushed  red  and  he  pounded  the  desk 
angrily  when  he  heard  the  story. 

"That  does  it.  The  girl  was  kidnapped

and,  unless  she  had  all  the  luck  in  the 
world,  she  probably  has  been  murdered 
by  now."  After  the  first  outburst,  the 
sheriff  rela.xed  a  little  and  leaned  back 
in  his  chair.  "\'ou  blow,"  he  remarked, 
this  case  is  an  awful  lot  like  the  Brooke 
Hart  kidnapping.  1  only  hope  she  doesn't 
come  to  the  same  end  he  did." 

The  sherifi  was  referring  to  the  case 
twelve  years  before,  when  the  popular 
son  of  San  Jose's  wealthiest  merchant 
stepped  into  his  roadster  in  a  downtown 
parking  lot  and  was  spirited  away  to  his 
death  and  a  watery  grave  in  the  San 
Francisco  Bay.  Emig  had  arrested  the 
youth's  kidnappers  six  days  later,  but  was 
forced  to  watch  helplessly  while  an  angry 
mob  stormed  his  jail,  took  possession  of 
his  prisoners,  and  lynched  them  in  St. 
James  Park,  across  from  the  county 
courthouse.  His  only  answer  in  the  name 
of  law  and  order  had  been  to  have  the 
tree  on  which  the  pair  were  hung,  cut 
down  and  removed  from  the  park. 

"I  hope  this  case  doesn't  have  the  same 
aftermath,"  the  sheriff  remarked. 

"This  one  is  different  in  one  respect," 
Cuffaro  corrected.  "No  one  has  asked 
for  ransom  yet." 

"I  wish  they  would,"  Emig  comment- 
ed. "If  they  did  we  might  get  a  lead 
that  would  help  us  crack  this  case.  Right 
now  all  we're  following  are  blind  alleys 
that  end  against  blank  walls." 

For  two  days  Cuffaro  and  other  mem- 
bers of  Emig's  staff  worked  tirelessly, 
tracking  down  every  segment  of  a  clue. 
The  owners  of  scores  of  1933  Plymouth 
sedans  were  checked,  but  none  tallied 
with  the  description  of  the  supposed  kid- 
napper. On  the  sixth  of  November, 
while  Cuffaro  was  telephoning  his  office 
for  further  information,  he  received  a 
surprise. 

"Go  to  the  Chamberlain  home  and 
wait  for  a  phone  call,"  Emig  ordered 
him. 

"What's  up?"  the  deputy  wanted  to 
know. 

"Mrs  Chamberlain  just  had  a  mysteri- 
ous telephone  call  from  Long  Beach," 
the  sheriff  informed  him.  "Whoever  it 
was  hung  up,  but  I  believe  it  may  be  the 
girl  calling  for  assistance.  There's  a 
chance  she  might  call  again.  I'm  going 
to  have  a  call  traced  and  contact  the 
Long  Beach  police.  Meanwhile  you  get 
over  to  the  Chamberlain  home  and  wait 
for  that  call." 

Minutes  merged  into  hours  while  Cuf- 
faro and  the  Chamberlains  stood  by  the 
telephone  waiting;  for  a  second  long  dis- 
tance call.  But  as  daylight  hours  passed 
into  darkness  it  became  increasingly  ap- 
parent that  the\  were  standing  a  hope- 
less vigil.  A  check  on  the  earlier  call  re- 
vealed  that  it  came  from  a  booth  in  a

drug  Store  and  Long  Beach  police  inform- 
ed Emig  that  they  had  not  had  a  report 
on  anyone  answering  the  missing  girl's 
description.  Cuffaro  was  finally  called 
away. 

"I  hate  to  admit  it,"  Emig  confessed, 
"but  it  looks  as  though  that  call  was  the 
work  of  a  crank.  There  are  always  a  lot 
of  them  in  these  cases." 

Two  days  passed  and  no  new  clues 
turned  up.  In  a  final  desperate  gesture, 
the  Chamberlains  announced  through 
the  press  and  radio  that  they  would  pay 
the  kidnapper  any  amount  he  desired  for 
the  return  of  their  daughter.  At  the  same 
time,  on  the  presumption  that  the  kid- 
napper might  have  passed  over  the  Ari- 
zona, Nevada,  or  Oregon  border,  Emig 
called  in  the  Federal  Bureau  of  Investi- 
gation. 

"I  hope  they  can  get  somewhere,"  he 
observed.  "I'll  have  to  admit  that  I  am 
stumped." 

However,  while  the  Federal  men  and 
sheriff's  officers  traced  innumerable  hope- 
less leads,  help  was  coming  from  an  un- 
expected quarter. 

Thirty  miles  away  in  San  Mateo,  chief 
of  police  Robert  O'Brien  sat  at  his  desk 
studying  the  picture  of  Thora  Chamber- 
lain that  appeared  on  the  circular  Emig 
had  mailed  to  neighboring  police  depart- 
ments. He  turned  from  the  circular  to 
the  description  of  the  kidnapper  and  his 
automobile.  Zachary  Whitten,  a  broad- 
shouldered  motorcycle  patrolman,  noticed 
his  deep  study. 

"How  would  you  like  to  crack  that 
one,  chief?"  he  asked. 

The  chief  of  police  glanced  back  at  the 
photograph  of  the  girl,  then  ofif  into 
space.  He  spoke  like  a  man  who  was  still 
half  lost  in  his  thoughts. 

"I'd  like  to."  He  pointed  to  the  pic- 
ture on  the  circular.  "Particularly  if  it 
would  save  that  girl's  life  I'd  like  to." 

Fhe  patrolman  grinned  and  went  on 
about  his  duties,  leaving  the  chief  still 
studying  the  circular  and  the  teletype 
alternately.  He  had  been  puzzling  over 
them  for  several  days  already.  Finally  a 
light  of  recognition  broke  across  his  face. 
He  picked  up  the  telephone. 

"Get  me  John  Cost,"  he  ordered  the 
operator.  In  a  moment  he  was  talking  to 
the  San  Mateo  County  resident  agent  of 
the  FBI. 

"John,  have  you  been  following  the 
Thora  Chamberlain  case  at  all?"  he 
asked. 

"Not  too  closely,"  the  agent  replied. 
"The  Bureau  was  only  called  into  the 
case  three  days  ago  and  it  doesn't  seem 
to  have  much  to  do  with  me.  But  I 
could  use  a  good  lead  if  you've  got  one." 

"Will  you  come  over  to  my  office  for

a  few  minutes?"  O'Brien  requested.  "I 
think.  I've  got  a  suspect." 

"I'll  be  right  over,"  the  agent  re- 
sponded. 

Less  than  five  minutes  later  the  resi- 
dent agent  appeared  in  O'Brien's  office. 
He  glanced  around  the  room  and  then 
looked  at  the  chief. 

"Where  is  he  ?"  Cost  wanted  to  know. 

O'Brien  smiled.  "I  haven't  got  him 
under  arrest.  But  I  know  where  we  can 
get  him  if  we  want  him.  But  first  I  think 
we'd  better  talk  it  over." 

"There's  no  harm  in  talking,"  Cost 
replied  skeptically.  "Where  did  you  get 
your  lead  and  who  is  the  suspect?" 

O'Brien  leaned  forward  across  his 
desk.  "I  haven't  got  any  lead  except  for 
the  man's  description."  He  paused  ner- 
vously, then  went  on.  "There's  a  man 
by  the  name  of  Thomas  H.  McMonigle 
living  at  24  West  Poplar  Street  here 
who  fits  the  description  of  the  driver  of 
that  kidnap  car  perfectly." 

Cost  smiled.  "I  don't  doubt  there  are 
a  lot  of  men  who  do.  But  what  makes 
you  think  this  one  did  it  simply  because 
he  look  like  the  kidnapper?" 

"Let  me  tell  you  about  McMonigle," 
O'Brien  suggested.  "He  came  here  in  the 
spring  of  1943,  just  after  being  released 
from  Menard  Prison  in  Illinois.  He 
found  employment  here  as  a  truck  driver, 
laborer,  armoured  car  guard,  and  hospi- 
tal attendant.  On  February  the  second, 
1945,  he  was  arrested  by  my  department 
on  charges  of  disturbing  the  peace  and 
battery.  He  entered  a  plea  of  guilty  in 
the  municipal  court  and  was  sentenced 
to  three  months  for  disturbing  the  peace 
and  six  months  for  battery.  However, 
both  sentences  were  suspended. 

"The  sentences  were  suspended  so  that 
McMonigle  could  support  his  wife,  Ena, 
the  widowed  mother  of  two  children 
whom  he  married  soon  after  he  arrived 
in  town. 

"On  May  14,  1945,  McMonigle  of- 
fered to  give  a  girl  a  ride  to  San  Mateo. 
However,  instead  of  going  to  San 
Mateo,  he  turned  off  on  the  Millbrae 
Road  and  attempted  to  rape  the  girl. 

"Her  screams  brought  John  Fickein- 
sen,  a  farmer  who  was  working  nearby, 
to  the  scene  and  he  rescued  the  girl  and 
subdued  McMonigle,  eventually  turning 
him  over  to  the  sheriff. 

"Fickeinsen  was  willing  to  appear  in 
court  and  testify  against  McMonigle, 
but  the  girl's  parents,  pleading  personal 
embarrassment  on  the  part  of  the  girl, 
refused  to  prosecute. 

"Then,  the  same  court,  in  an  attempt 
to  throttle  McMonigle,  ordered  his  sus- 
pended sentences  for  battery  and  disturb-

McMonigle  was  freed  by  a  writ  of  ha- 
beas corpus  which  charged  the  court 
which  executed  the  sentences  had  no 
jurisdiction  over  the  earlier  cases. 

"McMonigle  was  free  and  the  San 
-Mateo  municipal  court  could  do  nothing 
because,  when  the  girl  refused  to  prose- 
cute, there  was  no  evidence  of  his  com- 
mitting any  further  crimes — in  spite  of 
the  fact  that  we  all  knew  he  had  attack- 
ed the  girl  with  felonious  intent." 

"I  have,"  O'Brien  informed  him.  "At 
least  enough  to  warrant  investigation. 
McMonigle  is  six  feet  tall,  weighs  two 
hundred  pounds,  has  bushy,  sandy-red 
hair,  a  large,  prominent  nose,  and  some- 
times wears  a  moustache.  Not  only  that, 
but  his  wife's  car  is  a  1933  Plymouth 
blue  four-door  sedan." 

Cost  sat  up  abruptly  and  reached  for 
his  hat.  "Let's  go  out  to  Poplar  Street 
and  talk  to  that  man." 

O'Brien  smiled,  picked  up  his  own 
hat,  and  followed  the  resident  agent  out 
the  door.  At  24  AVest  Poplar  Street  they 
found  that  Mrs.  McMonigle  had  just 
returned  from  the  hospital,  where  she 
had  given  birth  to  her  third  child,  the 
first  by  her  present  husband,  October  31. 
She  told  the  officers  that  her  huband  had 
left  three  days  before  their  visit,  pre- 
sumably to  go  to  Los  Angeels. 

"He  told  me  he  had  to  go  down  there 
to  meet  his  boss,"  she  informed  them.  "I 
didn't  like  having  him  go  just  now  and 
I  told  him  so.  I'm  afraid  I  was  cross 
with  him  because  he  didn't  come  to  sec 
me  at  the  hospital  until  I  was  almost 
ready  to  leave." 

"Where    does    your    husband    work, 

Mrs.  McMonigle?"  O'Brien  asked  her. 

"At  the  Blair  Construction  Company 

in  Burlingame,"  she  replied.  "He's  been 

there  for  several  months  now." 

After  informing  her  that  this  was  a 
routine  investigation  and  nothing  to 
worry  about,  the  pair  proceeded  to  the 
Blair  Construction  Company. 

"If  it  turns  out  that  he  wasn't  at  work 
November  second,  or  that  he  worked  a 
night  shift,  he'll  warrant  additional  in- 
vestigation," Cost  told  O'Brien  as  they 
approached  the  company's  gates.  They 
entered  the  plant  and  found  Ben  S.  Blair, 
owner  of  the  firm.  He  informed  them 
that  McMonigle  had  not  been  to  work 
for  five  days  from  October  28  to  Novem- 
ber 3. 

"He  told  me  he  was  in  San  Francisco 
taking  treatment  for  a  venereal  disease," 
he  declared.  "I  don't  know  where  he 
went  this  last  time,  but  it  certainly  was- 
n't to  Los  Angeles  to  meet  me." 

Convinced  by  this  information  that 
McMonigle  was  a  likely  suspect,  the 
pair  returned  to  O'Brien's  office.  The 
man's    past    record,    added    to   the    fact

that  he  had  been  absent  from  work  and 
had  not  visited  his  wife  in  the  hospital, 
all  indicated  that  he  should  at  least  ex- 
plain his  behavior  during  that  period. 
Cost  called  the  Federal  agents  in  charge 
of  the  case  in  San  Jose  and  gave  them 
what  information  he  had. 

A  check  on  McMonigle's  prison  rec- 
ord at  Menard,  Illinois,  revealed  that  he 
had  served  eight  years  and  three  months 
of  a  one  to  fourteen  year  prison  sentence 
there  after  being  arrested  in  December, 
1*^34,  on  a  charge  of  assault  with  intent 
to  commit  rape.  Even  the  tough  Federal 
men  gasped  when  they  learned  that  the 
woman  who  had  been  attacked  in  Illi- 
nois was  seventy  years  old  at  the  time. 

Further  investigation  showed  that  he 
had  two  previous  arrests  for  vagrancy  in 
Edwardsville  and  Alton,  Illinois.  I'he 
record  also  revealed  that  he  had  a  father 
and  sister  living  in  Cottage  Hills,  Illi- 
nois. 

A  query  was  forwarded  immediateh' 
to  FBI  agents  in  the  Cottage  Hills  area 
and  they  reported,  after  investigation, 
that  McMonigle's  father  still  lived  there. 
At  this  point  E.  J.  Connelly,  FBI  kid- 
napping expert,  arrived  in  San  Jose  to 
take  charge  of  the  manhunt.  Presented 
with  the  case  against  McMonigle,  he 
promptly  issued  an  order  to  Illinois,  di- 
recting Federal  men  there  to  keep  the 
boyhood  home  of  the  ex-convict  under 
constant  surveillance  in  case  further  evi- 
dence was  turned  up  against  him  and  he 
appeared  there.  Meanwhile,  Connelly, 
his  agents,  and  deputy  sheriff  Cuffaro 
went  to  the  Campbell  High  School  arm- 
ed with  pictures  of  McMoiu'gle.  Con- 
fronted with  the  photographs  the  wit- 
nesses gave  startling  evidence. 

"It's  a  bad  picture,"  Euoline  Hall  told 
them,  "but  I  think  he  is  the  man  who 
was  driving  the  car." 

Rita  Beiler  was  more  positive.  "That's 
the  man,"  she  told  them.  "I'm  sure  of  it." 

Ellen  Pearson  was  equally  positive. 
"That's  the  man.  I  would  know  him 
anywhere.  Except,  he  had  a  moustache 
when  he  picked  up  Thora." 

Other  witnesses  also  recognized  the 
photograph  in  varying  degrees.  Connelly 
and  his  agents  were  jubilant.  "I  think 
he's  our  man,"  Connelly  confided,  while 
they  returned  to  their  headquarters  in 
San  Jose,  "but  we've  got  to  find  more 
evidence.  Tomorrow  we  are  going  up  to 
San  Mateo  and  have  a  look  at  his  car." 

Although  she  was  visibly  disturbed  by 
the  appearance  of  Federal  men  the  fol- 
lowing day,  Mrs.  McMonigle  showed 
no  reluctance  about  letting  them  see  the 
car. 

"I  haven't  used  it  since  I  went  to  the 
hospital,"  she  said,  "although  I  suppose 
Tom  has.  He  didn't  take  it  on  his  trip

because  it's  too  old  to  travel  so  far  in 
safely."  She  lead  them  to  the  automobile, 
opened  the  front  door,  then  stepped  back 
and  uttered  a  little  cry  of  astonishment. 
She  pointed  at  the  front  seat.  "The  up- 
holstery. Somebody's  torn  it  to  ribbons." 

George  Bush,  one  of  Connelly's  men, 
pushed  past  her.  He  looked  at  the  ruined 
front  seat  and  whistled.  "Look  at  this, 
chief,"  he  urged,  stepping  to  one  side 
so  Connelly  could  see  the  destruction. 
He  opened  the  back  door  but  found 
nothing  unusual  there,  glanced  up,  then 
stepped  into  the  car  and  examined  a 
point  on  the  window  post  between  the 
front  and  back  seats.  He  called  to  Mrs. 
McMonigle. 

"Did  you  sew  this,"  he  queried,  indi- 
cating a  spot  on  the  window  post,  where 
the  upholstery  had  been  stitched  across 
the  wood. 

She  shook  her  head.  No,  I  don't  even 
remember  seeing  it  there.  I  just  can't 
understand  what's  happened." 

"Do  you  mind  if  I  cut  the  stitching?" 
Busch  asked  her.  I  don't  think  it's  a  very 
good  job  anyway,  and  I  want  to  see 
what's  under  it." 

"Go  right  ahead,"  she  instructed  him. 
"It  couldn't  make  much  difference  now." 

Busch  produced  a  small  pocket  knife 
from  his  vest  pocket  and  quickly  removed 
the  stitches  from  the  upholstery.  While 
Connelly  looked  on  he  spread  the  fabric 
apart.  A  deep  gouge  mark,  apparently 
made  with  a  small  knife,  was  revealed. 
The  mark  was  about  an  inch  in  diameter 
and  almost  as  deep.  The  two  deputies 
thanked  Mrs.  McMonigle  for  her  coop- 
eration and  left. 

"I'd  like  to  know  what  was  under  that 
mark,"  Connelly  observed.  "Did  you  no- 
tice that  it  would  have  been  just  about 
level  with  the  head  of  a  five  foot  three 
inch  woman?  I'm  afraid  that  a  bullet 
was  taken  out  of  there." 

"It  probably  was  a  bullet,"  Busch 
agreed.  "If  it  was,  Thora  is  probably 
dead  and  IMcMonigle  her  murderer.  I 
hope  the  boys  get  a  line  on  him  soon.  But 
we  need  more  evidence." 

"We  do,"  Connelly  admitted,  "but  if 
we  get  McMonigle  we'll  get  it.  And  I'm 
willing  to  bet  that  he'll  show  up  in  Illi- 
nois soon.  Meanwhile,  let's  have  another 
look  around  the  Blair  Construction  Com- 
pany. He  may  have  talked  during  those 
five  days  before  he  left  town." 

On  the  return  trip  to  the  construction 
company  they  found  seevral  employees 
who  had  talked  with  McMonigle  after 
his  five-day  absence.  Although  he  had  not 
told  any  of  them  how  he  spent  the  time, 
one  of  them,  Arnold  Burch,  was  able  to 
provide  the  investigators  with  interesting 
information. 

McMonigle   told  me  he  had  a  date

with  a  fifteen  year  old  girl  while  he  was 
away,"  Burch  told  them.  "I  remember 
telling  him  to  take  it  easy — that  he  was 
playing  with  fire." 

A  new  light  gleamed  in  Connelly's 
eyes.  "^Vhen  did  McMonigle  tell  you 
about  this  date  with  the  fifteen  year  old 
girl?"  he  wanted  to  know. 

"The  day  after  he  returned  to  work," 
Burch  replied.  "I  remember  him  telling 
me  that  he  had  been  out  with  her  the 
night  before." 

The  construction  worker's  observation 
convinced  Connelly  and  Burch  that 
O'Brien's  deduction  had  been  a  good 
one.  Days  passed,  however,  and  the  in- 
vestigation bogged  down.  McMonigle 
did  not  appear  in  Cottage  Hills  and  Fed- 
eral agents  watching  transportation  cen- 
ters throughout  the  country  were  unable 
to  locate  the  ex-convict.  Then,  on  No- 
\ember  26,  Duane  L.  Traynor,  a  special 
agent  stationed  in  Springfield,  informed 
Connelly  that  he  had  located  McMon- 
igle. 

Traynor  said  he  spotted  the  e.\'-convict 
when  he  boarded  a  train  for  Springfield 
at  Alton,  Illinois.  At  Springfield  the 
FBI  agent  trailed  McMonigle  until  he 
hailed  a  cab  and  headed  for  Quincy.  Ten 
miles  from  Quincy  he  lost  track  of  the 
suspect  when  McMonigle  left  the  cab 
and  started  hitchhiking.  Luck  was  with 
him,  however,  and  he  was  able  to  pick  up 
the  trail  at  Quincy  and  from  that  mo- 
ment on  McMonigle  was  under  constant 
sur\-eillance. 

^^'hiIe  the  agents  on  the  West  Coast 
sought  further  clues  that  would  serve  to 
convict  him  of  kidnapping  Thora  Cham- 
berlain, Traynor  and  his  assistants  trail- 
ing McMonigle  had  their  hands  full. 
After  a  brief  visit  at  his  father's  home  in 
Cottage  Hills,  the  ex-convict  left  and 
hitchhiked  to  St.  Louis,  Missouri,  where 
he  purchased  two  tickets  to  Mexico. 

The  agents  were  prepared  to  detain 
him  when  he  boarded  the  train,  but  Mc- 
Monigle changed  his  mind,  turned  in  his 
tickets,  and  hitchhiked  back  to  Illinois. 
There,  they  observed  him  sitting  in  bars 
in  Quincv  and  .Alton,  drinking  beer.  Al- 
though they  had  learned  that  the  rang>- 
ex-convict  was  usually  \erbose,  they 
noted  that  he  was  not  talking  much  to 
anybody  during  his  visit  to  Illinois.  He 
sat  qvn'etly  at  the  bars,  drinking  beer 
slowly,  as  though  he  was  in  deep  thought. 

Finally  the  suspect  left  the  Park  Hotel 
in  Quincv  and  started  hitchhiking  toward 
the  Pacific  Coast.  Federal  agents  travel- 
ed at  his  elbow  all  the  way.  Still  hoping 
he  would  confide  in  somebody,  the\  re- 
frained from  arresting  him. 

While  stopping  In  Cheyenne,  W\om- 
ing,  McMonigle  stole  a  box  of  what 
turned  out  to  be  sleeping  tablets  from

his  landlady.  The  day  he  took  them  he 
and  a  companion  started  hitchhiking 
toward  Reno,  Nevada.  McMonigle  was 
ignorant  of  the  fact  that  his  companion 
was  a  Federal  agent,  and  equally  ignor- 
ant of  the  fact  that  it  was  more  than  co- 
incidence that  brought  two  men  in  a  new 
car  along  to  transport  him  to  Reno. 

At  Reno  the  ex-convict  and  his  hitch- 
hiking companion  started  thumbing  their 
way  toward  Sacramento.  It  was  at  this 
point  the  agent  reported  that  McMon- 
igle got  a  headache  and  took  one  of  the 
pills  he  had  stolen. 

"The  things  worked  in  a  vicious  cir- 
cle," the  agent  observed.  "Every  time 
McMonigle  would  take  another  pill  he 
would  feel  worse,  and  the  worse  he  felt, 
the  more  pills  he  took.  He  was  a  living 
example  of  how  some  people  happen  to 
take  too  many  sleeping  tablets." 

At  Sacramento  McMonigle  was  out 
on  his  feet,  but  agreed  to  ride  on  to  San 
Francisco  in  a  bus. 

"I'm  too  sick  to  hitchhike,"  he  told 
the  agent,  "but  I'll  be  all  right  on  the 
bus."  When  the  agent  boarded  the  bus, 
however,  it  left  Sacramento  without  Mc- 
Monigle. He  waited  with  Connelly  in 
San  Francisco  to  see  if  the  ex-convict 
would  show  up  on  the  next  trip.  The  bus 
pulled  in  with  McMonigle  aboard  in  a 
semi-conscious  condition. 

"We  had  better  arrest  him,"  Connelly 
observed.  "He  isn't  going  to  talk  without 
some  urging." 

Scarcely  aware  of  what  was  happening 
to  him,  McMonigle  was  taken  to  the 
FBI  detention  cells  in  San  Francisco. 
The  ex-convict  ■was  in  a  comatose  con- 
dition. 

"He's  not  going  to  answer  any  ques- 
tions in  that  shape,"  Connelly  comment- 
ed. "^Ve'd  better  call  a  doctor." 

Dr.  Edward  Dana  Butler,  prominent 
San  Francisco  physician,  was  called  to 
the  scene.  He  lifted  the  sleeping  man's 
e\elids,  then  turned  to  the  in%'estigators. 
"This  man  belongs  in  a  hospital.  If 
you  ever  want  to  talk  to  him  again,  I 
would  suggest  that  you  get  him  to  one 
as  soon  as  possible,"  the  doctor  told 
them. 

McMonigle  was  removed  to  the  San 
Francisco  hospital  and  Federal  agents 
weer  forced  to  hold  up  their  questioning 
for  two  davs  while  he  was  nursed  back 
to  health.  On  December  8,  1945,  they 
were  able  to  resume  their  investigation. 
At  first  the  ex-convict  steadfastly  de- 
nied that  he  had  ever  been  close  to 
l^ampbell.  Then,  confronted  with  evi- 
rlence  the  agents  had  already  collected, 
McMonigle  stiggested  that  the  Federal 
men  take  him  to  Campbell  and  see  for 
themselves.

"If  I  see  a  place  I  recognize,  I'll  tell 
\(Hi,"  McMonigle  promised. 

\Vithout  further  delay  McIMonigle 
was  loaded  into  an  automobile  with  Con- 
nelly and  several  agents  and  taken  to  the 
scene  of  the  crime.  He  denied  ever  seeing 
the  High  School  before,  but  while  the 
agents  drove  slowly  through  town  he 
pointed  suddenly  to  the  Cozy  Corner 
Cafe. 

"That  place  is  familiar,"  he  admitted. 
"I  think  I  had  some  beer  there  once." 

Connelly  brought  the  car  to  a  stop  in 
front  of  the  cafe  and  entered  with  Mc- 
Monigle.  A  waitress  smiled  at  the  sandy- 
haired  suspect. 

"Do  you  know  this  man?"  Connelly 
asked  her. 

"Not  e.\actl\,"  she  replied.  "He  had 
something  to  eat  here  about  a  month  ago 
and  I  waited  on  him.  He  left  a  dollar 
and  a  half  tip." 

Connelly  took  McIMonigle  back  to  the 
car  and  left  him  in  the  care  of  the  other 
agents  while  he  returned  to  the  cafe.  He 
showed  his  credentials  to  the  startled 
waitress. 

"There's  nothing  to  be  afraid  of,"  he 
informed  her.  "I  just  wanted  to  know 
what  day  he  came  in  here,  what  time  he 
was  here,  and  when  he  left." 

The  waitress  frowned  and  hesitated. 
"Let  me  think  back  and  I'll  tell  you.  I 
know  it  was  a  Friday,  because  there  was 
a  football  game  at  the  High  School.  It 
was  November  second.  He  left  just  be- 
fore game  time." 

"How  did  he  act?" 

"He  acted  all  right.  Quiet,  and  sort  of 
nervous,  but  that  was  all.  I  remember 
he  ordered  soup  and  pork  chops  and  cof- 
fee," she  said.  "He  was  very  nervous. 
While  he  was  waiting  for  his  order  he 
went  o\  er  and  played  the  juke  box  and 
pin  ball  machine. 

"He  was  \ery  friendly  and  seemed  to 
want  to  keep  me  near  him,  but  he  acted 
like  a  gentleman  and  didn't  make  a  pass 
at  me." 

"Did  he  leave  as  soon  as  he  finished 
his  pork  chops?"  Connelly  wanted  to 
know.  "Or  diil  he  hang  around  for  a 
while." 

"He  stayed  and  drank  some  beer.  He 
drank  four  bottles  of  beer  and  then  or- 
dered a  hamburger.  He  seemed  to  be 
waiting  for  something.  He  hardly  saitl 
anything.  I  can  only  remember  four 
words — 'punchboard,'  'restroom,'  'beer,' 
and  pinball.'  " 

"Was  there  an\thing  unusual  about 
tlie  way  he  was  dressed?"  Connelly 
wanted  to  know.  "^Vere  there  any  dis- 
tinguishing marks?" 

"■V'es.  He  had  the  word  'Londonderry' 
printed  across  his  T-shirt,"  the  waitress

answered.  "And  June  here  noticed  the 
tatoo  mark  on  his  left  arm." 

"Connelly  smiled.  "That's  fine.  And 
what  did  you  saj'  your  name  was?" 

The  waitress  told  him  she  was  Mrs. 
Olga  Subdon  and  that  she  lived  in  Camp- 
bell. Then  June  Penhall  and  another 
waitress,  Viola  Walden,  both  corrobor- 
ated Mrs.  Subdon's  statement.  Peter 
Spragia,  owner  of  the  cafe,  and  his  wife 
Louise,  also  recognized  the  ex-convict. 

"We  thought  he  was  a  returned  vet- 
eran," they  told  Connelly.  "He  looked 
unhappy  and  nervous  and  we  were  sorry 
for  him." 

Confronted  with  the  fact  that  he  had 
been  identified  by  five  people  in  Camp- 
bell, McMonigle  confessed.  He  told  the 
Federal  agents  that  he  picked  up  Thora 
at  the  school  by  asking  her  the  direction 
to  Santa  Cruz  and  that  she  got  in  the 
car  to  show  him  the  way. 

"We  got  lost,"  he  told  the  agents. 
"After  a  while  we  reached  Santa  Cruz 
and  I  went  to  a  bar  and  left  the  girl  in 
the  car.  Then  I  walked  with  her  along 
the  boardwalk  at  the  beach. 

"After  a  while,"  he  continued,  "we 
got  into  the  car  and  drove  to  the  end  of 
the  beach.  I  parked  the  car  on  the  right- 
hand  side  of  the  road,  left  the  girl  in  it, 
then  crossed  the  road  and  got  her  some 
milk  and  a  hot  sandwich  at  Olivieri's 
restaurant." 

McMonigle  said  he  then  drove  up  the 
lonely  coast  road  that  connects  Santa 
Cruz  with  San  Francisco.  He  said  he 
stopped  the  car  again  in  Davenport. 

"I  bought  some  whiskey  there  and 
drank  some,"  he  continued,  "then  I  got 
back  into  the  car  and  drove  on  a  while. 
I  parked  the  car  by  a  tool  shed  near  the 
highway.  I  saw  a  little  animal  hopping 
along  on  its  back  feet,  so  I  got  out  a 
32-caliber  colt  automatic  and  tried  to 
shoot  it." 

The  ex-convict  said  that  when  he  re- 
turned to  the  car  he  drove  to  a  point  fac- 
ing the  ocean.  "The  gun  was  lying  be- 
tween us  on  the  front  seat,"  he  went  on. 
"All  of  a  sudden  it  went  ofif  in  the  car. 
If  I  shot  her  that  is  where  it  happened. 

"I  sat  there  trying  to  make  up  my 
mind  what  to  do.  I  don't  know  how 
much  time  passed,  but  after  a  while  I 
drove  away.  The  girl  was  dead." 

McMonigle  said  that  he  then  drove 
on  into  San  Mateo  County  and  disposed 
of  the  girl's  body  at  a  point  just  south  of 
the  treacherous  Devil's  Slide  area.  For 
some  reason  he  could  not  explain,  he  said 
he  had  taken  off  his  trousers  and  shirt 
and  lost  the  trousers.  After  that  he  re- 
turned home. 

Still  not  satisfied  because  of  several 
glaring    discrepancies    in    McMonigle's

confession,  Connell)'  ordered  that  the 
Devil's  Slide  area  be  searched  for  the 
girl's  body. 

"We  must  find  the  body,"  he  pointed 
out,  "not  only  to  put  the  girl's  family  at 
rest,  but  to  establsh  a  concrete  murder 
case  against  iVicMonigle." 

Special  Agent  Richard  Carter  was 
lowered  from  the  cliiit  known  as  Sad- 
dle Rock,  a  few  hundred  yards  below 
Devil's  Slide.  Investigators,  staring  down 
the  edge  of  the  cliff,  held  little  hope  of 
finding  the  body.  Three  hundred  and 
fifty-five  feet  below  them  on  a  vertical 
drop,  the  ocean  pounded  angrily  against 
the  face  of  the  cliff.  Oldtime  residents  of 
the  area  informed  them  that  the  water 
was  at  least  ten  feet  deep,  even  at  low 
tide,  at  the  base  of  the  precipice. 

Dangling  precariousl}'  from  lines  low- 
ered from  the  highway.  Carter  searched 
the  face  of  the  cliff  for  evidence  of 
Thora's  body.  The  search  seemed  end- 
less. Finally  he  signaled  his  helpers  to 
raise  him  to  the  road.  He  was  carrying 
a  small  bundle. 

Back  in  San  Francisco,  he  dropped 
the  bundle  on  Connelly's  desk.  The  chief 
investigator  looked  at  the  bundle,  then 
glanced  significantly  at  Carter.  "I  guess 
now  we  know  what  happened  to  Thora," 
he  remarked  sadly. 

I  he  bundle  contained  a  piece  of  bright 
red  cloth  and  two  pairs  of  bobby  socks,  a 
blue  sock  in  a  red  one,  and  vice  versa. 

"Of  course,"  Connelly  observed,  "these 
might  not  be  Thora's  socks.  But  it  seems 
obvious  that  they  are.  Her  mother  said 
that  she  wore  the  two  pairs  because  they 
represented  the  school  colors.  She  was 
wearing  the  red  skirt  and  blue  sweater 
for  the  same  reason." 

In  the  face  of  the  new  evidence  and 
McMonigle's  confession,  Connelly  turn- 
ed his  prisoner  o\er  to  Sheriff  Emig  of 
Santa  Clara  County  on  December  15. 
Emig  promptly  took  him  to  the  State 
Penitentiary  at  San  Quentin. 

"Fhe  residents  of  Santa  Clara  County 
are  aroused  over  this  case,"  he  pointed 
out.  "I'm  not  going  to  take  a  chance  on  a 
repitition  of  what  happened  twelve  years 
ago  during  the  Brooke  Hart  kidnap- 
ping." 

Mc.Monigle  was  turned  over  to  War- 
den Clinton  Duffy  of  San  Quentin  for 
safekeeping  and  Duffy  promptly  placed 
his  new  prisoner  in  the  death  house. 
Meanwhile  McMonigle,  secure  for  the 
niDnient,  pronipti\  recanted  on  the  con- 
fc^ion. 

"It  was  forcctl,"  he  complained.  "They 
dopeil  me  and  then  got  it  from  me.  I 
never  even  heard  of  Thora  Chamberlain 
until  they  got  their  hands  on  me." 

"All    right,"    Connelly   replied,   we'll

get  more  proof.  Let's  have  another  look 
around  the  Blair  Construction  Company, 
and  in  McMonigle's  home.  Maybe  we 
can  find  something  there." 

After  a  thorough  search  of  the  house 
at  24  West  Poplar  Street  the  investiga- 
tors found  the  T-shirt  marked  London- 
derry. Closer  inspection  revealed  the 
name  S.  L.  Dahlstrom  stenciled  inside 
the  clothes.  A  footlocker  bearing  that 
name  was  also  discovered. 

Special  Agent  Carter  located  Dahl- 
strom, a  Navy  steward,  in  San  Francisco. 
The  sailor  identified  the  clothing  and 
footlocker  at  once. 

"Sure  they're  mine,"  he  told  Carter. 
"I  had  that  Londonderry  stamp  put  on 
them  when  I  was  stationed  over  there. 
The  footlocker  w^s  stolen  from  my  car 
last  September.  I  never  expected  to  see 
it  again." 

Meanwhile  Special  Agent  Fred  Ell- 
edge  pressed  his  investigation  at  the  con- 
struction company.  Again  Arnold  Burch 
produced  vital  information.  Burch  told 
Elledge  that  on  November  6,  despite  a 
rainstorm  which  drove  all  the  other  men 
indoors,  McMonigle  worked  for  a  long 
time  filling  in  a  ditch  in  the  company 
yard. 

"I  asked  him  what  the  idea  was  and 
he  told  me  he  was  building  a  ramp  so 
that  incoming  trucks  could  enter  by  a 
shortcut,"  Burch  remarked.  "I  thought 
it  was  a  funny  time  to  decide  to  do  it." 

Elledge  dug  into  McMonigle's  "ramp" 
and  after  some  hours  discovered  a  pair  of 
trousers  buried  between  two  blocks  of 
concrete.  He  presented  these  to  Connelly 
who  investigated  and  found  that  they  be- 
longed to  the  suspect. 

McMonigle's  confession  placed  the 
murder  in  Santa  Cruz  County,  local  jur- 
isdiction in  the  case  was  turned  over  to 
District  Attorney  Stephen  Wyckoff  and 
Sheriff  J.  R.  Devitt  of  Santa  Cruz 
County.  At  a  special  meeting  of  the 
Santa  Cruz  County  grand  jury,  an  in- 
dictment for  murder  was  returned  at  the 
same  time  by  the  Santa  Clara  County 
grand  jury. 

Connelly,  accompanied  by  Devitt  and 
AVyckoff,  took  McAIonigle  from  his  cell 
in  San  Quentin  and  placed  him  in  the 
Santa  Cruz  County  Jail.  Faced  with  the 
new  evidence  McMonigle  confessed  a 
second  time,  this  time  stating  that  he  had 
buried  the  body  in  the  San  Mateo  city 
dump.  Connelly,  Devitt,  with  Special 
Agents  Michael  Farrin  and  George 
Busch,  accompanied  the  ex-convict  to 
San.  Mateo,  where  he  pointed  out  the 
supposed  hiding  place. 

After  digging  one  foot,  the  quartet 
discovered  a  pile  of  school  books  belong- 
ing to  Thora  Chamberlain.  A  foot  deeper

they  found  the  girl's  binder  and  a  blanket 
with  the  name  C.  Izzard  —  the  maiden 
name  of  Mrs.  McMonigle — stenciled  on 
it.  Convinced  that  they  were  about  to 
hnd  the  body,  the  quartet  dug  feverishly 
for  hours,  before  finally  giving  up,  dis- 
couraged and  exhausted. 

Following  another  tip  from  ]\IcMon- 
ingle,  Fred  Elledge  found  the  missing  up- 
holstery from  Mrs.  McMonigle's  car  in 
a  cardboard  box  under  a  tree  twelve 
miles  west  of  Bayshore  Boulevard  on  the 
Millbrae  Road,  exactly  where  the  ex- 
con\ict  had  told  him  it  was. 

In  Santa  Cruz,  while  the  investigators 
piled  up  the  evidence  against  him,  Mc- 
.Monigle  recanted  again.  "I  never  shot 
an\body.  I  was  framed,"  he  hold  them. 

Special  Agent  George  Busch  entered 
his  cell  and  tried  a  bluf^  that  the  suspect 
fell  for  wholeheartedly.  "If  you  ne\er 
shot  anybody,"  Busch  wanted  to  know, 
"how  about  that  bullet  we  took  from  the 
window  post  on  the  righthand  side  of 
your  car?" 

The  suspect  laughed.  "\'ou  never  found 
any  bullet.  You  couldn't  have.  There 
wasn't  any  to  find." 

There  was  a  bullet  and  you  know 
there  was  one,"  Busch  persisted.  "What's 
more,  we're  going  to  use  it  to  help  con- 
vict you." 

"You  couldn't  ha\e  found  it,"  Mc- 
]\Ionigle  retorted.  "I  threw  it  away." 

Busch  leaned  forward.  "Where,  Mc- 
Monigle?  AVhere  did  you  throw  it?" 

Aware  that  he  had  slipped,  the  suspect 
hesitated,  then  tried  to  laugh  it  off. 
"Sure,  I'll  tell  you  where.  But  it  won't 
do  you  an\'  good.  I  was  cleaning  my  gun 
and  it  went  off  accidentally.  That's  how 
it  got  there." 

"Then  it  doesn't  matter  if  you  tell  us 
where  you  threw  it,"  Busch  insisted. 

"It's  under  the  large  oak  tree  about  a 
hundred  yards  south  of  my  house  on 
Poplar  Street,  "  McMonigle  informed 
him. 

While  Busch  made  the  trip  back  to 
San  Mateo,  Oliver  H.  Duggins,  bureau 
technician  from  AVashiiigton,  D.  C,  re- 
ported to  Cniinelh'  on  the  upholstery  and 
trousers  found  b\  Elledge. 

"There  was  a  large  amount  of  human 
blood  on  the  upholstery,"  he  observed, 
"and  some  on  the  trousers.  It's  too  bad 
we  can't  tell  how  long  it  has  been  there, 
or  whose  it  is.  I  can  tell  you  one  thing 
though.    It's  not  McMonigle's." 

Busch  returned  the  following  day  from 
San  Mateo  and  dropped  a  tiny  lead  pel- 
let on  Connell\'s  desk.  "I'd  be  willing 
to  bet  my  next  month's  wages  this  is  the 
bullet  that  killeil  Thora  Chamberlain," 
lie  remarked,  "but  we  haven't  e\en  got  a 
gun,  so  how  are  \\e  going  to  prove  ain- 
thing?"

Connelly  reached  under  his  desk  and 
returned  with  a  small  handbag.  "We've 
got  a  gun  all  right,"  he  told  Busch. 
"Look  what  Duane  Taylor  sent  us  from 
Quincy  yesterday."  He  reached  into  the 
bag  and  promptly  produced  a  32-caliber 
automatic,  several  bullets,  and  !i  service 
clip. 

"Where  did  Traynor  get  that?"  Busch 
wanted  to  know. 

"Ihnmas  Haynes,  the  manager  of  the 
Park  Hotel  in  Quincy,  gave  the  bag  to 
him,"  Connelly  replied.  "For  some  rea- 
son McMonigle  left  the  hotel  so  quickK', 
he  forgot  that  bag  and  never  returned 
for  it.  Traynor  says  Hayes  is  willing  to 
come  and  testify  to  that  if  he  is  needed. 
I'm  going  to  have  Heilman  examine  your 
bullet  along  with  these  under  the  spec- 
troscope." 

W.  R.  Heilman,  another  bureau  tech- 
nician from  Washington,  D.  C,  arriveil 
on  the  scene  and  tested  the  bullets.  His 
report  not  only  showed  that  Busch's  bul- 
let had  been  fired  from  JMcMonigle's 
gun,  but  also  revealed  that  it  had  been 
made  in  the  same  batch  as  the  ones  taken 
from  the  bag. 

After  hearing  of  the  great  store  of 
evidence  against  him,  McMonigle  con- 
fessed for  the  third  time,  this  time  claim- 
ing that  he  had  strangled  the  girl  and 
buried  her  body  beside  a  lane  off  the 
coast  road  in  San  Mateo  County. 

Shortly  after  this  third  confession,  the 
court  appointed  Sanford  Smith,  famed 
California  defense  attorney,  now  living 
in  semi-retirement  at  Santa  Cruz,  to  de- 
fend the  accused  slayer.  Immediately, 
McMonigle  denied  his  confession  and 
claimed  he  was  innocent.  In  spite  of  his 
attorney,  however,  he  continued  to  make 
confessions,  then  recant.  The  count  rose 
to  seven  official  confessions,  and  three 
unofficial.  The  eighth  came  on  the  last 
day  of  his  regular  murder  trial  in  the 
Santa  Cruz  Superior  Court.  Against  the 
advice  of  his  attorney  he  took  the  witness 
stand  and  faced  the  jury. 

"Thora  Chamberlain  is  dead,"  he  told 
the  jury,  "but  she  died  accidentally.  I 
was  giving  her  a  lift  home  and  when  we 
passed  the  road  she  asked  to  be  let  off  at, 
she  became  frightened,  leaped  from  the 
car,  and  was  killed.  I  didn't  know  what 
tf)  do,  so  I  rode  around  for  a  while,  then 
wrapped  the  body  in  some  blankets,  and 
left  it  alongside  a  county  road  about  two 
miles  outside  of  Campbell." 

"Is  this  another  one  of  your  phoin 
stories,  MclMonigle?"  shouted  John  Mc- 
Carthy, District  Attorney  ^Vyckoft"'s  as- 
sistant prosecutor,  "or  are  \'0u  telling  the 
truth?" 

"This  is  the  truth,  sir,"  McMonigle 
replied.  "I'll  take  the  jury  there  and 
show  them  the  bod\."

Immediately  ^Vyckoff  was  on  his  feet 
requesting  permission  from  the  court  to 
rake  the  jury  to  Santa  Clara  County 
to  search  for  the  body.  Arrangements 
were  made  and  the  trial  was  recessed  un- 
til the  journey  could  be  made  the  next 
day.  Special  provisions  were  made  to  pro- 
tect McMonigle  during  his  visit  to 
Campbell.  Sheriff  Emig  established  road 
blocks  along  the  route  to  the  area  pointed 
out  by  the  accused  man,  and  Connelly 
stationed  a  security  squad  of  FBI  agents 
along  the  route.  But,  while  the  whole 
court  appeared  ready  to  search  in  the 
rain  for  the  missing  body,  McMonigle 
changed  his  mind  again.  He  told  the 
court  he  was  afraid  there  would  be  a 
repetition  of  the  Brooke  Hart  lynching 
and  he  would  be  the  victim. 

The  trial  resumed.  With  the  over- 
whelming evidence  compiled  for  him  by 
Emig,  Cuffaro,  Chief  O'Brien,  Sheriff" 
Dcvitt,  and  Connelly  and  his  agents, 
^^^yckoff  was  able  to  secure  a  verdict  of 
first  degree  murder  without  recommen- 
dation for  leniency,  thirty-seven  minutes 
after  the  jury  left  the  courtroom  on  Feb- 
ruary l"?,  l'54b.  Court  records  revealed 
that  the  McMonigle  verdict  was  only 
the  third  of  its  kind  ever  turned  in  by  a 
Santa  Cruz  jury. 

He  was  executed  in  San  Quentin's  gas 
chamber  two  years  later.

KIDNAPPING 

(Continued  from  page  12) 

The  man  coughed  again.  "Handker- 
chief," he  spluttered.  "I've  got  to  get  my 
handkerchief." 

Still  coughing,  he  reached  into  his 
coat.  DriscoU  let  his  hand  wander  away 
from  his  guij.  After  all,  the  man  was 
coughing.  A  fraction  of  a  second  later  he 
was  staring  incredulously  into  the  yawn- 
ing mouth  of  a  forty-five  caliber  auto- 
matic. Behind  it  the  delinquent  husband 
had  dropped  his  embarrassed  air.  The 
slouching  body  was  now  stiff  and  taut, 
and  Driscoll  saw  death  in  the  staring  eyes. 
'Fhe  gunman  spoke  clamly  in  a  voice  edged 
with  steel. 

"Don't  move,"  he  commanded.  "If 
either  of  you  moves  an  inch  I'll  blow  his 
head  off." 

Fhe  two  officer  froze  in  their  seats. 
There  was  death  in  the  bandit's  voice. 
Slowly  and  with  the  infinite  caution  of 
one  who  has  spent  years  outside  the  law, 
he  opened  the  rear  door  and  slid  into  the 
seat.  Not  for  a  moment  did  the  automatic 
waver  from  its  bearing  on  Driscoll's  head. 
For  the  moment  at  least  it  would  be  sui- 
cide to  resist  him.  The  gunman  chuckled 
grimly. 

"Now  get  this  thing  started  and  swing 
it  around,"  he  ordered.  "You  guys  are  go- 
ing to  take  me  and  my  pal  for  a  ride.  Turn 
east  on  Haight  Street  and  we'll  pick  him 
up." 

Bekelund  threw  the  car  into  gear  and 
made  a  slow  U  turn.  Icy  perspiration 
formed  in  little  beads  across  his  brow.  His 
passenger  was  a  killer.  Any  excuse  would 
he  enough  to  send  hot  lead  searing  through 
the  two  officers.  Years  of  evading  the  law 
had  probably  developed  a  hatred  for  police 
in  the  man  that  was  almost  maniacal.  'I  o 
pick  up  the  second  bandit  would  almost 
certainly  leave  a  double  murder  on  the 
hands  of  the  homicide  squad.  Two  APB 
officers  found  dead  in  the  morning  at  some 
quiet  spot  along  the  beach.  As  long  as  they 
were  two  to  one  they  had  a  chance. 

"Your  friend  went  west,"  he  told  the 
bandit. 

"Turn  west  then,"  said  the  gunman. 
"And  we'd  better  find  him.  Then  we'll  all 
have  a  little  party." 

Bekelund  swung  west  and  the  car 
crawled  along  Haight  Street.  'Fimc  was 
the  thing  now.  Time  and  a  break  and  an 
idea.  Every  foot  they  progressed  along 
Haight  Street  to  the  west  took  them  fur- 
ther from  the  bandit's  partner.  Bekelund 
had  caught  a  fleeting  glimpse  of  him  turn- 
ing east  just  before  he  had  stopped  tlie  car 
on  Broderick. 

For  a  few  brief  moments  silence  reigned 
while  the  gunman  peered  along  the  empty 
streets,  hoping  to  spot  his  missing  pal. 
When  the  lights  of  the  Hub,  where 
Haight    Street    terminates    at    Market,

loomed  close  he  realized  he  had  been 
tricked.  Savagely  he  turned  on  Bekelund. 

"All  right,  bright  boy,  we're  through 
playing  games,  "  he  announced.  "Get  back 
there  and  find  my  pal .  .  .  Fast,  if  you 
want  to  live." 

With  a  grim  little  smile,  Bekelund 
executed  another  U  turn  and  headed  back 
up  Haight  Street.  The  car  crawled  along 
at  a  snail's  pace. 

"Step  on  it,  I  said,"  ordered  the  bandit. 

Bekelund's  foot  clamped  down  upon  the 
accellerator  and  the  car  picked  up  speed. 
Soon  they  had  passed  Broderick  and  were 
approaching  Golden  Gate  Park.  But  it 
was  too  late.  The  streets  were  empty,  save 
for  a  lone  patrolman  trying  doors  in  the 
neighborhood  business  district.  The  bandit 
cursed. 

"Pull  into  that  alley  and  stop,"  he  com- 
manded, indicating  a  lonely  little  excuse 
for  a  street.  Bekelund  wheeled  the  car  into 
the  shadows  and  brought  it  to  a  stop. 

"Now  reach,  coppers,  and  I'll  relieve 
you  of  the  excess  hardware." 

The  two  policemen  lifted  their  hands 
skyward  reluctantly.  Cautiously  the  gun- 
man reached  across  the  seat  and  took  Dris- 
coU's  revolver  from  its  holster.  For  a  split 
second  he  was  fully  occupied  with  one 
man.  It  was  all  the  time  Bekelund 
needed. 

Keeping  his  right  hand  in  the  air,  the 
policeman  let  his  left  drop  to  his  gun  belt 
and  released  the  catch.  Noiselessly  the 
weapon  slithered  to  the  floor.  When  the 
bandit's  attention  returned  to  him  both 
hands  were  in  the  air,  but  his  feet  were 
busy,  kicking  the  vital  weapon  back  out  of 
sight.  Swiftly  the  bandit  frisked  him. 

"Where's  your  heater?"  he  wanted  to 
know. 

"I  don't  carry  one,"  Bekelund  answered 
crisply. 

"Don't  hand  me  that,"  replied  the 
bandit.  "Every  cop  carries  a  gun.  ^Vhy 
haven't  you  got  one  ?" 

"This  is  an  accident  investigation  car," 
Bekelund  explained.  "Our  regular  tools 
are  cameras,  tape  measures,  and  note- 
books. We  only  carry  one  gun  and  out 
here  in  the  Park  district  it's  usually  so 
quiet  we  don't  even  need  that.  Look  all 
you  want.  You  won't  find  one." 

Once  again  the  bandit  fell  for  the  ruse. 
Pocketing  Driscoll's  gun  he  sank  back  in 
the  seat.  "OK.  So  \ou  haven't  got  a  gun. 
Get  this  thing  started." 

At  Haight  and  Stanyan  Streets,  less 
than  a  block  from  Golden  Gate  Park  Po- 
lice Station,  the  gunman  instinctively  ord- 
ered the  pair  to  turn  left,  away  from  the 
station,  and  then  right  again  on  Lincoln 
Way,  a  boulevard  paralleling  the  park. 
Visions  of  a  lonely  death  in  the  dark 
depths  of  the  park  crossed  the  minds  of 
the  captive  policemen.  They  were  ap- 
proaching Second  Avenue  when  the  pas-

senger  ordered  another  stop.  When  Beke- 
lund  followed  his  directions,  the  bandit 
stopped  from  the  back  door. 

"Get  out,"  he  ordered.  Driscoll  opened 
the  door  and  stepped  from  the  car.  Beke- 
lund  sat  still.  This  was  it.  In  a  moment 
he  would  be  separated  from  his  gun  and 
completely  at  the  mercy  of  what  looked 
to  him  like  a  vicious  killer.  It  was  now  or 
never.  A  new  idea  flashed  across  his  brain. 

"The  car's  sliding,"  he  told  the  gun- 
man. "I'd  better  put  on  the  hand  brake." 

"OK.  But  make  it  snappy.  I  want  to  get 
this  over  with." 

For  a  brief  moment,  while  he  reached 
toward  the  brake,  Bekelund  was  shielded 
from  the  bandit  by  the  open  door.  He 
reached  past  the  brake  to  the  floor  and 
felt  the  smooth  rounded  butt  of  the  re- 
volver caress  his  hand.  His  hand  crept  to 
the  door  handle.  Then,  like  a  bolt  of  blue 
uniformed  lightning,  he  lunged  from  the 
car,  shattering  the  early  morning  silence 
with  a  snap  shot  at  the  startled  bandit  as 
he  did  so. 

Bekelund's  aim  had  been  good,  but  the 
open  door  that  was  so  recently  his  friend, 
turned  traitor  and  deflected  the  bullet 
which  would  have  ended  the  bandit's  life. 
The  policeman  dashed  for  the  cover  of  a 
light  pole. 

"That  does  it,"  the  bandit  cursed,  and 
the  heavy  crash  of  the  forty-five  sent  a 
bullet  winging  past  Bekelund's  ears. 
Meanwhile  Driscoll,  completely  un- 
armed, faced  death  from  two  directions  as 
he  stood  between  the  pair.  Bekelund  held 
his  fire  while  the  bandit  retreated,  shoot- 
ing steadily  and  cursing.  Driscoll  dropped 
to  the  pavement. 

"You'd  better  give  up,"  Bekelund 
shouted  to  the  gunman.  His  reply  was  an- 
other burst  of  fire  and  an  angry  roar  of 
laughter  as  the  bandit  stepped  back  into 
the  jungle-like  foliage  of  the  park.  Beke- 
lund had  counted  the  shots.  The  bandit's 
gun  should  be  empty.  Slowly  he  poked  his 
head  around  the  pole,  but  two  bullets, 
singing  close  by  reminded  him  that  his 
adversary  was  armed  with  Driscoll's  gun 
as  well  as  his  own. 

The  embattled  officer  fired  blindly  into 
the  darkness.  A  mist  shrouded  flash  and 
the  roar  of  the  bandit's  gun  gave  him  his 
direction.  Advancing  now,  he  answered 
the  bandit's  fire.  For  a  few  brief  seconds 
the  battle  roared  on.  Then  the  police- 
man's attack  was  met  with  an  empty  si- 
lence. He  stopped  firing  and  listened.  In 
the  distance  he  could  hear  his  quarry 
crashing  through  the  thick  shrubbery. 

With  the  disarmed  Driscoll  at  his 
heels,  Bekelund  rushed  toward  the  park 
and  searched  frantically  through  the  cul- 
tivated jungle.  Before  long  they  realized 
the  futility  of  their  undermanned  search,

returned  to  the  bullet  riddled  car,  and 
called  communications  for  help.  Soon  of- 
ficers from  Golden  Gate  Park  and  Tara- 
val  Stations  joined  the  search  and 
swarmed  through  the  shrubbery  en  masse, 
but  the  darkness,  the  early  morning  mist, 
and  the  thick  foliage  guarded  the  retreat 
of  the  brash  gunman,  and  he  escaped. 

Because  of  the  poor  light,  neither  of  the 
officers  was  able  to  give  more  than  a  cur- 
sory description  of  the  bandit.  But  there 
was  one  point  they  were  sure  of.  His  eyes. 
Bekelund  and  UriscoU  were  in  solid 
agreement  regarding  the  man's  eyes. 

"They  were  killer's  eyes,"  the  pair  re- 
ported to  the  Bureau  of  Inspectors  later. 
"1  hey  were  the  hardest  eyes  we've  ever 
seen.  And  they  didn't  show  one  spark  of 
emotion." 

In  spite  of  a  concentrated  search  that 
morning,  starting  at  100  Harrison  Street, 
and  fanning  through  the  entire  city,  no 
shred  of  evidence  was  uncovered  that 
would  reveal  the  identity  of  the  two  men. 
The  officers'  report,  plus  a  supplementary 
report  by  the  Inspectors  on  duty,  was  laid 
on  the  desk  of  Captain  of  Inspectors 
Bernard  J.  McDonald.  A  grim  line 
formed  itself  along  the  Captain's  mouth 
as  he  read  it. 

"We've  got  to  get  those  men,"  he  said, 
when  he  finished.  "If  we  don't,  they'll  kill 
someone."  We  know  that  they'll  pull  a 
gun  at  the  slightest  excuse." 

In  spite  of  the  Captain's  words,  the 
police  ran  into  a  blank  wall  during  their 
early  search  for  the  pair.  Their  descrip- 
tion of  the  man  who  had  shot  it  out  with 
Bekelund  was  scanty.  They  had  even  less 
on  his  companion  who  had  walked  south 
on  Broderick. 

For  two  weeks  no  clue  was  uncovered 
that  would  unveil  the  bandits.  Then,  on 
January  28,  Mike  Sutter  opened  his  small 
grocery  at  300  Turk  Street,  in  the  heart 
of  San  Francisco's  Tenderloin.  As  he  en- 
tered the  door  he  noticed  two  men  stand- 
ing nearby.  He  kicked  the  door  stop  into 
place  and  turned  around.  The  duo  had 
followed  him  in. 

"Anything  I  can  do  for  you  gentle- 
men"? he  inquired,  thinking  they  were 
early  morning  customers  who  had  awaited 
his  opening. 

"Yeah.  You  can  put  up  your  hands," 
one  of  the  'gentlemen'  ordered.  Sutter 
looked  into  his  eyes  and  raised  his  hands. 
He  didn't  need  to  look  down  to  see  the 
pair  of  forty-five  caliber  automatics  lev- 
eled at  his  stomach. 

"Get  inside,"  the  holdup  man  ordered, 
motioning  with  his  gun.  "Behind  the 
counter." 

Sutter  turned  and  took  his  position  be- 
hind the  counter,  close  to  the  cash  register. 
As  he  did  so,  one  of  the  duo  stepped  be- 
hind him,  pocketed  his  gun,  whipped  out

his  handkerchief,  gagged  him,  bound  him, 
and  then  knocked  the  helpless  storekeeper 
to  the  floor  behind  the  counter. 

Having  disposed  of  the  proprietor,  the 
bandit  turned  his  attention  to  the  cash 
register  and  was  scooping  out  the  previous 
afternoon's  recipts  when  Gus  Sutter,  the 
groceryman's  brother,  entered  the  store. 

"What's  going  on  in  here?"  he  de- 
manded angrily,  focusing  his  gaze  on  the 
man  at  the  cash  register. 

"A  holdup,  sucker.  Now,  reach!"  The 
harsh  voice  of  the  man  standing  guard 
brought  Gus  whirling  around.  For  the 
first  time  he  was  aware  that  there  were 
two  men  present.  He  doubled  his  fists  and 
moved  toward  the  bandits. 

"I'll  reach  that  ugly  face  of  yours  and 
shove  that  gun  down  your  throat,"  Gus 
retorted,  and,  matching  his  words  with  ac- 
tions, stepped  forward  and  seized  the  gun 
before  the  gunman  realized  what  was  hap- 
pening. His  finger  tightened  on  the  trig- 
ger, but  too  late  to  stop  his  enraged  vic- 
tim. The  automatic  roared,  but  the  slug 
traveled  harmlessly  toward  the  rear  of  the 
store,  rupturing  a  can  and  leaving  a  pud- 
dle of  fruit  juice  in  its  wake.  A  tense, 
dramatic  struggle  for  possession  of  the 
weapon  ensued,  as  the  pair  crashed  to  the 
floor  amid  a  downpour  of  cans  and  glass- 
ware. 

Meanwhile,  in  comic  contrast,  the  man 
at  the  cash  register  calmly  emptied  the 
till,  relieved  Mike  of  his  personal  funds, 
pulled  a  black  jack  from  his  pocket  and 
proceeded  across  the  store  at  a  leisurely 
gait  to  stand  waiting  at  the  outer  fringe  of 
battle.  In  a  moment  the  opportunity  he 
wanted  presented  itself  and  he  ended  the 
fight  with  a  dull  crunching  slap  of  the 
club  against  Sutter's  skull.  Without  a 
word  or  a  wasted  motion,  the  pair  searched 
the  inert  body,  took  the  cash,  and  fled  with 
$475. 

Some  distance  from  the  store  one  of  the 
bandits  turned  to  his  companion  and 
grinned  complacently : 

"Perfect,"  he  remarked.  "A  little 
rough,  but  perfect." 

The  second  bandit  nodded,  then 
caught  his  breath  as  he  glanced  at  his  part- 
ner. He  ran  his  hand  over  his  own  thin- 
ning hair  and  cursed. 

"Not  quite  perfect,"  he  replied  causti- 
cally. "We  forgot  our  hats." 

Back  at  the  grocery  Gus  Sutter  strug- 
gled to  his  feet  and  stumbled  to  the  tele- 
phone. He  fumbled  with  the  dial  and  after 
several  foggy  attempts  managed  to  get  the 
police  operator  at  the  Hall  of  Justice  and 
deliver  a  jumbled  account  of  the  robber\'. 
Radio  officers  responding  to  the  call  a 
few  moments  later  found  him  making  a 
feeble  attempt  to  loosen  the  bonds  that 
held  his  brother.  Quickly  they  completed 
his  task  and  called  Central  Emergency 
Hospital  for  an  ambulance  to  take  care  of

Gus,  whose  scalp  had  been  laid  wide  open 
by  the  vicious  blow  from  the  blackjack. 
I  hen,  while  one  listened  to  the  brothers' 
account  of  the  robbery,  his  partner  put 
through  a  call  to  Lieutenant  James  G. 
Malloy,  head  of  the  robbery  detail  at  that 
time. 

1  he  Lieutenant  made  a  few  quick 
notes,  cradeled  the  phone  and  summoned 
Inspector  Frank  McCann,  veteran  of 
years  of  warfare  against  crime  and  vio- 
lence, to  his  desk. 

"You  and  Bill  go  out  to  300  Turk 
Street  and  see  what  \ou  can  find  out  about 
a  holdup  there,"  he  instructed.  "They  tied 
up  the  owner,  gagged  him,  and  slugged  his 
brother." 

A  short  time  later  McCann  and  his 
partner,  William  McMahon,  the  two 
most  decorated  officers  in  the  San  Fran- 
cisco Police  Department,  arri\ed  at  the 
grocery  to  question  Mike.  The  store- 
keeper's description  of  the  robbery  was 
good,  but  he  could  ofifer  no  satisfactory 
description  of  the  two  bandits. 

"Isn't  there  an>'thing  outstanding  vou 
can  remember?"  asked  Mc.Mahon. 

Mike  shook  his  head.  "Nothing.  Except 
the  guy  who  fought  with  Gus.  It  sounds 
funny,  but  he  looked  like  a  killer.  He  had 
the  coldest  face  I  ever  saw,  and  he  never 
blinked  his  eyes. 

Satisfied  that  Mike  had  gi\en  them  all 
the  information  he  could,  the  inspectors 
went  to  the  emergency  hospital  to  hear 
Gus'  tale.  It  tallied  with  his  brother's  per- 
fectly, but  he  too  was  unable  to  gi\e  an 
adequate  description  of  the  bandits. 

"Except  for  one  thing,"  he  told  Mc- 
Cann. "The  one  I  fought  with.  He  must 
have  had  ice  water  for  blood.  There  was 
something  about  him.  His  eyes,  maybe.  I 
know  I'll  never  forget  them." 

Back  at  the  robbery  detail  McCann 
laid  the  hats  on  Malloy's  desk. 

"One  was  bought  in  Tacoma  and  the 
other  in  Seattle,"  he  told  the  Lieutenant. 
"But  the\  're  cheap  hats  and  we  won't  be 
able  to  track  down  anybody  with  them." 
"Probably  not,"  Malloy  agreed.  "But 
we'll  send  them  up  to  the  laboratory  and 
let  Frank  LaTuIipe  look  them  over. 
Maybe  he  can  find  something.  Is  there 
anything  else?" 

"There  was  one  shot  fired,"  McMahon 
informed  him.  "It  went  through  a  can  of 
fruit  juice  and  into  the  wall.  One  of  the 
boys  from  Central  Station  is  digging  it 
out." 

"That  could  help,"  the  Lieutenant  ob- 
served .  .  .  "If  we  could  find  a  gun  to  go 
with  it,  it  would  help  a  lot." 

"Something  had   better  help,"'   mused 
McCann. 
"Why?" 

The  ace  detective  regarded  his  Lieuten- 
ant silently  for  a  moment  with  steadv.

steel  gray  eyes.  "Because,  "  he  speculated, 
"I've  got  a  hunch.  I  think  these  two  gun- 
men are  the  same  ones  Driscoll  and  Beke- 
lund  ran  into.  And  if  they  are,  they're 
killers." 

The  trail  of  the  grocery  store  robbers 
was  one  with  a  dead  end,  and  the  desks  of 
McCann  and  McMahon  soon  became 
choked  with  a  succession  of  other  crimes, 
ranging  from  cheap  strongarms  to  full 
fledged  robberies. 

San  Francisco  was  a  hotbed  of  crime 
during  the  winter  and  early  spring  of 
1944.  Soldiers  and  sailors,  just  returned 
from  Pacific  battle  fronts,  jammed  the 
downtown  areas,  their  pockets  bulging 
with  money  they  could  not  spend  overseas. 
With  them  came  a  heavy  sprinkling  of 
merchant  seamen  who  carried  bankrolls 
of  hundreds,  and  sometimes  thousands  of 
dollars  with  them  while  they  roamed  in 
search  of  entertainment  along  the  Embar- 
cadero. 

The  city  became  a  mecca  for  hoodlums 
throughout  the  entire  west,  drawn  irre- 
sistibly by  the  greenback  bonanza.  Old 
time  con  men  revived  the  pigeon  drop.  An 
enterprising  salesman  sold  a  Municipal 
Railway  streetcar,  a  second  Coit  Tower, 
while  a  third  man  made  his  living  accept- 
ing advance  payments  for  rooms  in  non- 
existent hotels. 

But  where  one  hood  lived  with  his  wits, 
a  hundred  existed  by  brute  force.  The 
Mickey  Finn,  a  black  jack,  or  the  explo- 
sive threat  of  firearms,  were  the  tools  of 
the  rank  and  file.  Every  night  close  to  a 
thousand  dollars  lost  in  robberies  was  re- 
corded on  the  "big  fourteen,"  the  terse 
daily  report  of  the  city's  major  crimes. 
Burdened  with  every  hopeless  drunk  roll- 
ing and  purse  snatching,  Frisco's  over- 
worked and  undermanned  robbery  detail 
struggled  to  keep  its  head  above  water. 
The  Turk  Street  affair  shrank  into  insig- 
nificance while  Lieutenant  Malloy  and  his 
men  pursued  their  endless  task.  But  it 
lingered  in  the  photographic  memory  of 
Inspector  Frank  McCann,  and,  because  it 
was  unsolved,  festered  there,  like  an  angry 
ulcer. 

"They'll  try  again,"  he  told  Malloy, 
"and  I'll  get  them.  I  just  hope  they  don't 
kill  anybody  before  I  do." 

The  Inspector  was  right.  Andrew 
Marty  and  his  lovely  daughter,  ^ViIma, 
were  at  work  in  their  cleaning  plant  at 
174  Fourteenth  Street  when  the  sinister 
pair  entered.  Wilma's  pleasant  greeting 
was  answered  with  a  harsh  command. 

"All  right,  sister.  Lie  down  on  the 
floor  and  don't  make  a  sound." 

The  gaping  mouth  of  th^  speaker's 
automatic  was  all  the  convincing  the  girl 
needed.  Within  a  few  seconds  one  bandit 
bound  her  hand  and  foot  with  electricians 
tape,   while   the  other  searched   for  her

father  in  the  rear  of  the  shop.  He  found 
the  proprietor  at  a  pressing  machine  and 
escorted  him  to  a  position  beside  his 
daughter.  Soon  he  too  was  securely  trussed 
with  a  combination  of  wire  and  tape.  As 
the  two  yeggs  moved  toward  the  cash  reg- 
ister Joseph  Collins,  a  driver,  interrupted 
them.  Both  bandits  leveled  their  guns. 

"Get  behind  the  counter  and  lie  down 
with  the  others." 

Collins  stood  still,  eyeing  the  guns. 

"Stop  kidding,"  he  countered.  "^  ou 
can't  scarce  me  with  these  toys." 

The  tall  bandit  stepped  forward,  glar- 
ing at  the  driver  with  starry,  unblinking 
eyes. 

"You  lie  down,"  he  commanded,  "or 
I'll  take  this  toy  and  put  a  hole  through 
your  belly  with  it.  Then  I'll  kick  your 
teeth  out." 

The  flat,  baleful  stare  in  the  gunman's 
eyes  convinced  Collins  that  discretion  was 
the  better  part  of  valor.  He  took  his  place 
beside  Andrew  Marty  and  his  daughter. 
As  he  knelt  to  the  floor  one  of  the  mob- 
sters sent  a  vicious  kick  crashing  into  his 
ribs. 

"Faster,  you  louse.  We  haven't  got  all 
day,"  growled  his  tormentor. 

AVhile  one  of  the  duo  applied  the  wire 
and  tape  to  Collins,  the  second  scooped  the 
cash  from  the  till  and  turned  his  attention 
to  Marty's  pockets.  There  he  discovered 
and  took  possession  of  a  handsome  gold 
watch,  which  had  been  in  the  victim's  fam- 
ily for  generations.  His  partner  found 
Collins'  pockets  empty  except  for  two  re- 
ligious medals.  He  showed  them  to  his  pal. 

"These  are  for  luck,  aren't  they?"  he 
inquired. 

"Something  like  that.  It's  more  like 
protection.  Do  you  want  them?" 

"Not  me.  I  don't  need  any  protection." 

"Then  give  them  to  me,"  requested  the 
hoodlum.  "I  need  a  good  luck  piece." 

"I'll  say  you  do.  Look!" 

The  bandit  looked  up  in  time  to  see  a 
woman  back  away  from  the  door  and 
dash  down  the  street  toward  the  corner 
grocery.  He  drew  his  gun  and  leveled  it 
toward  her. 

"If  you  want  to  live,  stop !"  he  shouted. 
Rut  the  woman,  Virginia  Padilla,  con- 
tinued her  headlong  flight.  Once  inside 
the  store  she  rushed  to  the  telephone  and 
called  Mission  police  station.  Officer  An- 
thony Eberly  responded  immediately,  but 
when  he  arrived  the  bandits  were  gone 
with  $1000  in  cash,  some  checks,  and  the 
watch  and  medals.  This  time  the  bandits 
had  not  left  as  much  as  a  hat  for  a  clue. 

"What  did  they  look  like?"  Eberly 
asked  the  victims. 

"Just  like  anybody  else,"  both  Mary 
and  Collins  responded.  "They  were  mid- 
dle aged,  fairly  tall,  and  slim.  Light  com- 
plexions and  brown  eyes.  They  both  wore 
hats  and  light  business  suits."

"Wasn't  there  any  outstanding  qual- 
ity?" the  officer  inquired. 

"I  noticed  one,"  interjected  Wilma 
Marty.  "The  tallest  one  was  a  killer.  I 
can't  put  my  finger  on  it,  but  there  was 
something  about  his  face  that  frightened 
me.  It  must  be  his  eyes.  They  never 
blinked." 

Eberly's  report  found  its  way  to  the  in- 
spector's bureau  and  was  subsequently 
routed  to  the  robbery  detail.  Lieutenant 
Malloy  laid  it  on  Frank  McCann's  desk. 

"I  think  you'll  recognize  a  couple  of 
old  friends  there,"  Malloy  told  him. 

McCann  studied  the  report,  smiled 
grimly,  and  nodded.  "These  are  my  boys, 
all  right,"  he  agreed.  He  studied  the  re- 
port. "I'll  get  them.  I  only  hope  its  be- 
fore they  pull  the  trigger  on  one  of  ihose 
forty-five  and  kill  somebod)." 

In  spite  of  his  persistence,  however, 
McCann  could  not  unearth  any  evidence 
that  would  uncover  the  identity  of  the  two 
desperados.  His  only  clues  were  two  hats 
and  the  spent  bullet  found  in  the  store  at 
300  l\irk  Street.  From  Marty  he  got  a 
detailed  description  of  the  heirloom  watch 
and  passed  it  on  to  the  pawnshop  detail, 
but  a  vigorous  search  by  those  inspectors 
unearthed  nothing. 

"They  were  too  smart  to  hock  it,"  Mc- 
Cann  mused.  "1  he  watch  is  too  unusual 
and  too  hot  for  them  to  take  any  chances. 
These  two  are  like  ghosts  who  come  from 
nowhere  and  fade  into  thin  air." 

The  first  break  in  the  Inspector's  seem- 
ingly hopeless  search  came  when  Sergeant 
Frank  J.  Matlin  recei\ed  a  telephone  call 
in  the  bureau  of  communications.  A  wom- 
an spoke  in  low  tones. 

"There's  a  man  at  the  Klondike  Hotel 
at  328  Leavenworth  Street  that  you  ought 
to  see." 

"Who  is  speaking?"  demanded  the  ser- 
geant. 

"It's  none  of  your  business  who's  speak- 
ing," the  voice  responded.  "He  carries  a 
forty-five  automatic  and  someday  he'll  use

it."  Matlin  heard  the  receiver  click  and 
the  monotonous  buzz  of  the  dial  tone.  He 
relayed  the  information  to  the  inspectors 
Bureau. 

"It's  probably  a  crank,"  he  told  Lieu- 
tenant Ed  Hippley.  "But  there  might  be 
something  in  it." 

Hippley  nodded.  Anonymous  calls  are 
ordinarily  of  little  value  to  the  police  de- 
partment, however,  any  report  of  a  man 
with  a  gun  could  not  be  ignored.  An  of- 
ficer from  Northern  Station  was  sent  to 
investigate.  Almost  immediately  the  offi- 
cer called  Sergeant  Harry  Majors  in  the 
robbery  detail. 

"Before  I  go  any  further  with  this  I 
think  you  ought  to  know  that  the  owner 
of  the  Klondike  Hotel  is  Floyd  Richard- 
son," the  policeman  informed  him. 

"I'll  say  we  ought  to,"  Majors  ex- 
claimed. "Stand  by,  but  don't  go  into  the 
place.  \Ve'Il  send  some  more  men  out.  " 

Richardson,  a  two  time  loser  in  Cali- 
fornia, had  been  known  in  San  Francisco 
as  a  holdup  man  since  the  early  twenties. 
After  being  released  from  San  Quentin 
where  he  served  time  on  a  robbery  charge, 
he  had  returned  to  stage  a  series  of  vicious 
holdups  before  being  apprehended  and 
sent  to  Folsom.  Soon  he  was  released  and 
he  moved  his  base  of  operations  to  Wash- 
ington. Before  long  he  shot  and  killed  a 
Seattle  officer  and  was  sent  to  the  State 
Penitentiary  at  Walla  Walla  for  life.  But 
there  was  mockery  in  the  life  sentence. 
Seventeen  years  after  he  entered  the  pris- 
on, Floyd  Richardson  was  paroled. 

jVIalloy  received  Major's  news  with 
grim  satisfaction.  "If  he's  got  a  gun,  he's 
a  parole  violator.  ^Ve'll  send  him  back  up 
where  he  can't  bother  use  for  a  while  any- 
way. But  we'd  better  go  readv  for  trou- 
ble." 

A  short  time  later  Inspectors  McCann, 
Fred  Butz,  O'Leary,  IVIurphy,  Doherty, 
Wafer  and  Reznik  converged  on  the 
Leavenworth  Street  address.  They  moved 
cautiously,  ready  for  any  break  the  bandit 
might  make.  Entering  the  first  floor  they 
ran  into  a  startling  discovery.  The  Klon- 
dike Hotel,  supposedly  a  hostelry  in  one  of 
the  world's  most  overcrowded  cities,  was 
apparently  empty. 

Baffled,  the  inspectors  moved  to  the  sec- 
ond floor.  The  silence  stifled  them  as  they 
stalked  an  unseen  foe  through  empty 
rooms  and  corridors.  A  scarlet  flush  of 
rage  clouded  Malloy's  face. 

"There's  been  a  tipoff,"  he  muttered, 
moving  toward  the  third  and  last  floor. 
Once  again  the  officers  opened  the  doors 
to  empty  rooms.  But  one  room  was  locked. 
Inspector  Walter  Reznik  tried  the  door, 
then  stepped  back  quickly. 

"Open  that  door,"  he  shouted,  "Or  I'll 
shoot  it  open."

"Keep  your  shirt  on,"  came  the  shrill 
feminine  reply.  "We've  got  to  get  some 
clothes  on." 

A  few  moments  later  the  bewildered 
officers  were  the  unexpected  guests  of 
three  young  and  curvaceous  kimono  clad 
girls.  At  first  the  trio  was  sullen  and  re- 
ticent. They  told  Malloy  that  they  lived 
in  the  hotel,  did  not  know  the  owner,  and 
that  they  worked  as  waitresses. 

"Don't  kid  me,"  responded  Malloy.  "I 
know  what  you  do." 

"Prove  it,"  responded  'Boots,'  a  blonde. 

The  girls'  reticence  disappeared,  how- 
ever, when  the  Lieutenant  e.xplained  that 
a  doctor's  examination  was  all  the  evi- 
dence he  would  need  to  restrict  their  lib- 
erty and  added  that  a  woman's  court 
might  be  lenient  to  someone  who  had 
helped  the  police  break  a  bigger  case.  In 
halting  sentences  the  three  told  him  that 
Floyd  Richardson  had  become  proprietor 
of  the  Hotel  some  months  before  and  that 
he  had  persuaded  them  to  work  for  him. 

"In  what  capacity?"  inquired  Malloy. 

"You  know  what  we  do,"  came  the 
bitter  reply. 

Throughout  the  investigation,  the  in- 
spectors all  noticed  that  the  three  girls  ap- 
peared jealous  of  each  other  and  assumed 
that,  in  spite  of  their  apparent  early  re- 
ticence, the  tipoff  had  come  from  one  of 
them.  However,  none  of  them  was  able  to 
throw  light  on  any  of  the  holdups.  Rich- 
ardson had  somehow  understood  that 
something  was  wrong  and  departed.  Lieu- 
tenant Malloy  prepared  to  take  the  girls 
on  to  be  booked  on  a  vice  charge  with 
quarantine  recommendations.  Inspector 
McCann  hestitated. 

"I  don't  want  to  leave,"  he  announced, 
"until  we  have  searched  this  place  with  a 
fine  toothed  comb." 

"Good  idea,"  replied  Malloy.  "I'll 
leave  you  some  men." 

Unhampered  by  the  danger  of  hidden 
guns,  the  detectives  went  back  over  their 
tracks  with  painstaking  care.  Inspector 
Fred  Butz  showed  AlcCann  two  bits  of 
metal  found  in  what  the  girls  said  was 
Richardson's  room.  McCann's  eyes 
gleamed. 

"For  an  old  con,"  he  remarked,  "Rich- 
ardson was  not  so  smart.  "I'll  bet  my  bot- 
tom dollar  those  are  the  religious  medals 
taken  from  Collins  at  the  White  House 
Cleaners." 

Every  available  hiding  place,  from  the 
attic  to  the  basement,  was  covered  by  the 
clue  hungry  policemen.  In  the  cellar 
McCann  called  for  a  shovel.  With  infinite 
patience  he  began  sifting  the  ashes  that 
lay  in  the  grate  of  the  furnace.  In  the  dim 
light  he  soon  looked  more  like  a  phantom 
than  a  man  as  a  grey  film  of  ashes  covered 
his  perspiration  soaked  features.  He 
studied  each  shovel  load  minutely,  sifting 
it  carefully.  Slowly  he  gathered  a  little

pile  of  brown  and  blackened  bits  of  paper. 
He  scraped  these  carefully  into  paste 
board  box  and  took  them  with  him. 

"I've  got  a  hunch  these  scraps  of  paper, 
plus  the  medals,  will  be  all  we  need  to 
send  Floyd  Richardson  back  to  prison  for 
a  long  time,  "  he  remarked. 

At  headquarters  he  called  the  White 
House  Cleaners  and  left  word  for  dri\er 
Collins  to  report  to  the  robbery  detail  as 
soon  as  possible.  Then  he  took  his  box  of 
ashes  to  the  sixth  floor  laboratory  of  Police 
Criminologist  Frank  LaTulipe  and  stood 
by  watching  the  crime  chemist  mix  his 
magic  potions.  A  call  from  Mallo}-  sum- 
moned him  back  to  the  robbery  detail. 
Collins  was  there  waiting  for  him.  The 
detective  showed  him  the  medals. 

"Are  these  yours,"  he  asked. 

Collins  nodded.  "They're  mine  all 
right.  One  of  the  bandits  took  them  from 
me  during  the  holdup.  He  said  he  wanted 
them  for  good  luck  pieces." 

McCann  nodded  and  reached  for  the 
phone.  "Bureau  of  Identification,"  he  ord- 
ered briskly.  Then:  "Get  out  the  pictures 
of  Floyd  Richardson,  I'll  be  right  up."  He 
turned  to  Collins:  "I  want  you  to  see  if 
you  recognize  this  man.  Come  with  me." 

Confronted  with  the  photograph,  Col- 
lins hestitated.  "It  looks  like  the  man,"  he 
admitted,  "but  I  don't  want  to  send  up 
an  innocent  man.  The  bandit  was  wearing 
a  hat  and  I  couldn't  be  sure." 

The  pair  returned  to  the  robbery  de- 
tail. Inspector  Butz  looked  up  from  his 
work.  "Frank  LaTulipe  just  called 
down.  He  says  he's  got  something  to  show 
you." 

Once  again  the  detective  hurried  up- 
stairs. LaTulipe  showed  him  a  blackened 
rectangle.  Chemical  magic  clearly  re- 
vealed a  check  made  out  to  the  ^\'hite 
House  Cleaners.  McCann  smiled. 

"These  ought  to  be  the  clincher.  When 
we  catch  Floyd  Richardson,  I  think  we'll 
have  at  least  half  of  our  holdup  team,"  he 
told  the  criminologist.  "Are  there  any 
more  ?" 

"I  think  so,"  replied  LaTullipe.  "I'll 
finish  them  as  soon  as  possible." 

Hoping  to  pick  up  the  ex-con  quickh , 
McCann  went  to  the  City  Prison  to  re- 
sume his  interrogation  of  the  three  girls. 
In  Marie,  the  tired  looking  brunette 
mother  of  a  little  boy,  he  found  the  soft 
spot. 

"I'll  help  you  all  I  can,"  she  told  him, 
"if  you'll  get  me  out  of  this  jam.  I've  got 
a  kid  and  I  want  to  get  out  of  this  racket. 
I  would  have  a  long  time  ago,  but  I  was 
afraid  of  Floyd  and  Boots." 

"Why  Boots?"  inquired  McCann. 

"Boots  was  Richardson's  special  girl 
friend.  He  seemed  to  be  crazy  about  her." 

Marie  went  on  to  tell  McCann  that  the

ex-con  had  carried  on  a  series  of  confer- 
ences with  a  mysterious  visitor  whose 
name  and  address  she  did  not  know.  She 
added  that  she  could  not  give  a  descrip- 
tion of  the  man  because  he  had  always 
come  at  night  and  his  face  was  obscured  by 
shadows. 

It  was  the  tip  from  Marie  that  caused 
the  detective  to  request  that  the  three 
girls  be  released  as  soon  as  possible.  Rich- 
ardson, sensing  a  trap,  had  not  returned 
to  the  Klondike  Hotel,  where  several 
patrolmen  awaited  him ;  but  McCann  be- 
lieved that  the  ex-con's  soft  spot  was  prob- 
ably Boots  and  that  he  would  attempt  to 
see  her  as  soon  as  she  was  released.  Mean- 
while, he  carried  his  search  to  the  under- 
world. About  the  same  time  Bill  McMa- 
hon,  his  partner  of  many  years,  suffered  a 
complete  physical  breakdown  and  was 
taken  to  a  hospital. 

Because  he  blamed  his  partner's  break- 
down on  overwork  brought  on  by  the  ac- 
tivities of  such  men  as  Richardson,  Mc- 
Cann carried  on  the  search  alone,  more 
determined  than  ever  to  round  up  the 
bandit.  On  Eddy  Street  he  rounded  up  one 
"Mouse"  Malone,  a  petty  thief,  for  ques- 
tioning. 

Malone,  hardened  to  police  question- 
ing, was  sarcastic.  He  carried  a  message 
from  Richardson. 

"Sure  he's  in  town,"  he  said,  "but  I 
don't  know  where.  He  says  you'd  better 
get  measured  for  a  wooden  overcoat,  hot- 
shot. He's  going  to  add  to  your  lead  collec- 
tion." 

Malone's  statement  was  nothing  new 
to  McCann.  Throughout  the  Inspector's 
Bureau  the  rumor  persisted  that  Richard- 
son was  out  gunning  for  the  detective. 
The  policeman's  reputation  with  a  gun 
was  a  vivid  thing  in  the  underworld.  His 
days  as  a  patrolman  in  the  Bush  Street 
district  had  been  punctuated  with  a  series 
of  blazing  gun  battles  in  which  he  had  al- 
ways emerged  the  victor,  but  not  without 
several  trips  to  the  hospital  himself.  '1  he 
challenge  was  all  McCann  needed.  He  re- 
quested and  received  permission  to  devote 
his  full  time  to  the  Richardson  case. 

Pictures  of  the  ex-convict  were  sent  to 
every  police  department  along  the  Pacific 
coast.  In  spite  of  Richardson's  challenge, 
McCann  was  convinced  that  he  had  left 
town.  Soon  a  series  of  salmon  boat  rob- 
beries along  the  Columbia  River  in  Ore- 
gon convinced  McCann  he  was  right.  The 
description  of  the  pair  of  river  pirates  who 
were  robbing  the  fishing  boats  tallied  ex- 
actly with  those  given  by  the  duo's  victims 
in  San  Francisco.  McCann  turned  his  at- 
tention back  to  Malone,  hauled  him  in, 
and  accused  him  of  being  Richardson's 
accomplice.  Terror  stricken,  Malone 
talked. 

"I  only  saw  him  with  Joe  Torino  and 
Al  Wagner  in  the  Yellow  Bell  on  How-

ard  Street,"  he  confessed.  "He  said  he 
would  never  be  taken  alive  and  that  if  he 
had  to  go  he  was  going  to  take  you  with 
him.  Then  he  told  them  he  had  to  go  up 
north  and  meet  a  friend." 

McCann  promptly  called  in  Tornino 
and  Wagner,  both  ex-convicts.  "Who  was 
the  friend  ?"  the  detective  demanded. 

"Floyd  wouldn't  say,"  Tornino  re- 
sponded. "He  wouldn't  even  tell  where 
the  guy  was  from." 

Further  questioning  revealed  that  the 
pair  believed  that  Richardson  would  re- 
turn to  town  to  see  his  old  girl  friend, 
Boots.  Beyond  that  they  claimed  they 
knew  nothing.  McCann  sent  out  a  call  to 
pick  up  Boots. 

"That  will  take  some  doing,"  the  patrol- 
man on  the  street  told  him.  "Boots  ha'^ 
pulled  a  vanishing  act.  We  were  watching 
the  place,  but  she  disappeared  one  night 
and  never  came  back.  Never  even  packed  a 
bag." 

Still  McCann  pursued  his  task  stub- 
bornly. He  issued  a  picture  and  detailed 
description  of  the  blonde  and  ordered  a 
careful  watch  kept  for  her  at  all  neigh- 
borhood bars  and  grocery  stores.  Soon  a 
call  came  from  Northern  station. 

"There's  a  blonde  answering  the  de- 
scription of  Boots  living  at  the  400  block 
on  Steiner,"  the  officer  told  him.  "She 
doesn't  leave  the  house,  but  I've  seen  her 
come  out  to  pick  up  the  paper.  Shall  I  pick 
her  up?" 

"No,"  McCann  told  him.  "But  keep  a 
detail  watching  the  house.  I'll  be  there 
when  the  milk  arrives." 

The  next  day  the  detective  watched  the 
same  voluptuous  blonde  he  had  met  at  the 
Klondike  Hotel  earlier.  Unwilling  to  risk 
losing  his  quarry,  the  detective  waited  for 
another  tenant  to  leave  the  house,  fol- 
lowed him  down  the  street,  then  requested 
that  he  come  to  headquarters  for  question- 
ing. He  got  the  information  he  wanted. 

"There's  a  man  living  with  the  girl," 
the  tenant  told  him.  "He  never  leaves 
the  room,  but  I  can  hear  him  talking." 

Once  again  a  posse,  headed  by  Lieuten- 
ant Malloy,  set  out  to  round  up  Floyd 
Richardson.  The  building  was  surrounded 
and  the  policemen  closed  in  on  it.  But  the 
wily  ex-con  had  outwitted  them  again. 
They  found  Boots,  horribly  bruised,  alone 
in  her  room. 

"He  sensed  you  were  coming,"  she  told 
them,  "and  went  over  the  back  fen  ~c. 
Thank  God  voii  did  come.  He  thought  I 
squealed  and  was  torturing  me.  I  was 
nothing  more  than  a  prisoner  here." 

Soon  after  Boots  was  picked  up,  \Vash- 
ington  prison  authorities  sent  information 
that  helped  to  unravel  another  thread  in 
the  mystery  McCann  was  tr\:ng  to  solve.

committed  in  Bellinghaiii,  Washington, 
had  gone  "over  the  wall"  amidst  a  hail  of 
bullets  and  made  good  his  escape.  He  had 
been  Richardson's  closest  pal  in  the  peni- 
tentiar)'.  A  photograph  of  Fowler  was 
sent  to  all  district  stations  and  depart- 
ments. It  bore  unexpected  fruit.  Larry 
Driscoll  and  Ray  Bekelund  rushed  to 
McCann. 

"Fowler  is  the  man  who  took  us  for  a 
ride,"  Driscoll  told  him.  "I'll  never  forget 
that  killer's  look  in  his  eyes  as  long  as  I 
live." 

Immediately  McCanii  summoned  the 
Martys,  the  Sutter  brothers,  and  Collins. 
From  all  the  answer  was  the  same:  "I'll 
never  forget  that  face." 

Examining  Fowler's  record  following 
the  escape  from  Walla  Walla,  McCann 
was  more  than  ever  impressed  by  the 
need  for  his  capture.  After  a  series  of  rob- 
beries in  the  Pacific  Northwest  he  had 
been  traced  to  a  Skagit  County  tavern 
which  he  held  up  in  December  194.^  He 
shot  and  seriously  wounded  a  soldier  v'hn 
interfered  with  the  last  holdup  and  llfd  to 
San  Francisco  in  a  stolen  car. 

Apparently  the  duo  had  returned  to  the 
northwest  in  a  stolen  car  following  their 
winter  holdups  in  Frisco.  McCann  how- 
ever, was  positive  that  the  pair  returned 
to  San  Francisco,  a  hunch  that  was  proven 
correct  by  his  brush  with  Boots  in  the 
Steiner  Street  house.  Not  only  that,  but 
he  felt  that  he  needed  more  evidence  to 
convict  Fowler. 

"Maybe  he'll  confess,"  the  detective 
mused,  "but  if  he  doesn't,  you  can  never 
tell  how  a  jury  will  act." 

Once  again  the  detective  returned  to 
the  Howard  Street  dive  where  Tornino 
and  Wagner  spent  their  leisure  hours. 
They  reported  that  they  had  not  seen 
Richardson,  but  pointed  out  a  soldier  who 
might  have. 

"I  knew  a  guy  named  Floyd  who  an- 
swers that  description,"  the  soldier  re- 
sponded to  McCann's  questions.  "I  used 
to  drink  with  him  out  in  a  Castro  Street 
tavern.  A  blonde  was  always  with  him. 
You  ought  to  find  her  there  now.  You 
can't  miss  the  tavern,  because  the  blonde 
is  always  there.  I've  forgotten  its  name." 

The  detective  found  the  tavern  and  the 
blonde.  "Sure  I  know  Floyd,"  she  told 
him.  "But  I  don't  know  where  he  is  now. 
Maybe  Hollywood.  He  said  something 
about  going  to  live  with  the  movie  stars." 

(To  be  concluded  next  month)

HIGHWAY  HOUSEKEEPING 

Every  year  California's  State  Highway

moving the  beverage  containers,  tissues, 
wrappers,  paper  and  other  litter  which 
careless  motorists  toss  out  on  the  roads. 
All  this  could  be  avoided,  and  the  money 
which  is  spent  for  such  housekeeping  de- 
voted to  other  purposes,  says  the  Califor- 
nia State  Automobile  Association,  if  the 
motorist  would  merely  carry  a  paper  bag 
in  his  car  and  use  it  for  trash,  later  de- 
positing bag  and  contents  in  a  suitable 
container  for  disposal.

THE  OLD  AND  THE  NEW 

(Continued  from  page  10) 

ample,  Chief  Coleman  has  instituted 
many  reforms  of  his  own.  He  has  cam- 
paigned constantly  to  bring  the  numeri- 
cal strength  of  the  force  to  the  standards 
recommended  by  figures  compiled  by  the 
Federal  Bureau  of  Investigation. 

Chief  Coleman  believes  that  an  alert 
and  well  trained  force  is  necessary  to 
properly  police  the  city.  He  insists  that 
Merced  Police  Department  be  represent- 
ed in  every  training  school  in  the  area. 

To  augment  the  regular  police  depart- 
ment a  police  reserve  was  organized  in 
the  summer  of  1951.  The  reserve  corps 
consists  of  30  men  each  of  whom  has 
supplied  his  own  uniform  and  equipment. 

Lucius  Cornell  left  a  prosperous  hay 
and  grain  business  in  1934  to  take  over 
the  reins  as  sherifif.  He  remembers  that 
things  were  pretty  rough  in  Merced 
County  in  those  days.  The  county  was 
what  might  have  been  called  wide  open 
and  some  people  were  perfectly  satisfied 
with  the  status  quo. 

The  county  was  just  recovering  from 
prohibition  and  lawlessness  and  large  seg- 
ments were  still  looking  on  such  activi- 
ties with  amused  tolerance. 

Sheriff  Cornell  did  not  regard  the  situ- 
ation in  quite  the  same  light.  He  felt 
that  he  was  elected  to  uphold  law  and 
order  rather  than  regulate  the  under- 
world and  started  to  clean  things  up.  His 
work  was  cut  out  for  him.  Enough  per- 
sons were  making  a  profit  from  illegal 
operations  to  place  every  obstacle  possible 
in  his  path.  Slowly  the  sheriff  won  his 
battle.  Merced  County  became  as  clean 
and  orderly  as  any  county  of  comparable 
size  in  California  and  Cornell  continued 
to  win  elections  in  spite  of  an  element 
which  fondly  remembered  the  good  old 
days  and  did  its  best  to  retore  them. 

Today,  after  five  terms  in  office,  the 
main  problem  facing  the  sherifif  is  the 
county  jail.  Like  many  peace  officers  all 
over  the  country,  he  has  discovered  that 
the  last  place  the  taxpayers  want  to  see 
their  money  go  is  into  a  penal  institution. 
He  is  frank  to  admit  that  jail  conditions 
are  not  ideal  but  points  out  that  by 
stretching  a  little  a  long  way  and  con- 
centrating on  cleanliness  he  has  made  the 
place  at  least  li\ablc.  Not  long  ago  a 
Merced  Grand  Jury  complinieiited  him 
on  doing  the  best  he  could  under  the  cir- 
cumstances.

DIFFERENT  WAYS 

If  you  make  an  extended  trip  this  sum- 
mer, don't  be  disappointed  when  you  dis- 
cover that  people  who  live  in  other  parts 
of  the  country  are  not  exactly  like  your- 
self, suggests  the  California  State  Auto- 
mobile Association.  It's  true  that  the  citi- 
zens of  all  the  states  are  Americans  but 
those  who  live  away  from  California  have 
their  own  customs,  their  own  distinctive 
foods  and  sometimes  ways  of  living  which 
time  and  experience  have  proved  best  for 
their  climate,  just  as  we  have. 

Sample  those  local  foods  ;  you'll  prob- 
ably find  them  delicious.  Who,  for  in- 
stance, can  know  what  good  things  we 
have  to  eat  here  in  this  state  unless  he  has 
tried  avocado,  artichokes  or  abalone? 
WHio  knows  New  Orleans  until  he  has 
eaten  pompano  and  the  genuine  Creole 
gumbo?  And  the  same  applies  to  other  re- 
gions. 

Get  acquainted  with  local  customs,  too. 

Last  year  was  the  fourth  coiisecuti\e 
\  ear  of  increase  in  the  traffic  death  toll.

Dear  John  and  Mary  O'Haire: 

We  just  wanted  to  congratulate  you,  John, 
and  wish  you  good  luck,  Mary. 

We  don't  quite  understand  what  all  the  fuss 
has  been  about — people  who  fall  in  love  are  getting 
married  every  day — but  as  long  as  things  are  as 
they  are  we  want  to  get  our  two  cents  in. 

Just  to  wish  you  a  long  and  happy  married 
life  and  the  best  of  good  luck.   And  we  are  sure 
you  will  have  both. 

Sincerely, 

Walt  He cox

"A  STITCH  IN  TIME  .  .  .  .  " 


As  so  many  Sonoma  county  peace  offi- 
cers have  done,  Chief  Melvin  "Dutch" 
Flohr  of  the  Santa  Rosa  Police  Depart- 
ment began  his  law  enforcement  work  in 
the  Sonoma  County  Sheriff's  office  in 
1334.  He  worked  in  Healdsburg  in 
1938  and  in  1^40  accepted  the  post  of 
Chief  of  Police  of  the  Santa  Rosa  de- 
partment. 

Transient  labor,  with  a  good  sprink- 
ling of  wetbacks,  present  Chief  Flohr 
with  a  problem  he  shares  with  many 
other  California  chiefs.  Added  to  this 
are  Indians  who  live  in  the  area  and 
go  on  Saturday  night  "tears"  which 
threaten  to  rip  the  lid  off  the  town. 
The  drunk  tank  gets  full  to  the  brim 
on  many  week-ends,  the  load  consist- 
ing mostly  of  Mexicans  who  have  en- 
tered the  country  illegally  and  are 
awaiting  the  arrival  of  United  States 
Immigration  officers,  and  transient  rev- 
elers who  have  imbibed  too  frequently 
and   not   too   well. 

Traffic  is  a  problem  Chief  Flohr 
shares  with  a  multitude  of  others  in 
his  profession.  United  States  Highway 
101  not  only  carries  a  full  load  of  pas- 
senger cars  headed  for  northern  resort 
areas  through  Santa  Rosa  during  the 
summer,  but  adds  to  its  burden  a  great 
degree  of  heavy  trucking  which  is 
headed  for  the  redwood  lumber  country. 

"Our  local  crime  we  can  contain 
pretty  well,"  Chief  Flohr  declares. 
"But  we  are  vulnerable  to  a  certain 
amount  of  crooks  passing  through  be- 
cause we  are  near  the  San  Francisco 
Bay   Area." 

To  this  the  chief  adds  that,  while 
he  does  not  want  to  indicate  that  the 
Bay  Area  is  unusually  crime  ridden, 
that  habitual  criminals  seem  to  gravi- 
tate naturally  to  densely  populated  areas. 

Chief  Flohr  believes  firmly  that  an 
ounce  of  prevention  is  v.'orth  a  pound 
of  cure  and  his  whole  law  ■enforcement 
program    is    directed    toward    that   end. 

The  Chief  claims  that  75  percent 
of  his  department's  work  is  crime  pre- 
vention and  to  make  this  effective  he 
concentrates  his  prevention  program  on 
juveniles  in  the  age  bracket  of  from 
si.x  to   18  years. 

The  Chief  believes  that  effecting  a 
close  relationship  between  youngsters 
his  city  and  the  police  department  will 
instill  a  greater  respect  for  the  law  in 
Santa  Rosa's  youth  and  thus  far,  for 
the  most  part,  his  formula  has  worked. 

To  stimulate  interest  in  his  juvenile 


program  Chief  Flohr  and  three  of  his 
men,  Lieut.  William  Clark,  Inspector 
Leland  Gleeson  and  Officer  George 
Scinto,  conduct  a  four  -  month  boxing 
and  wrestling  program  which  attracts 
an  astounding  total  of  125  )ouths  into 
each    course. 

These  youngsters  hold  a  series  of  in- 
tersquad  matches  and  wind  up  their 
intramural  season  with  a  match  against 
a  San  Francisco  Boys'  Club.  These 
matches  are  invariably  a  sell  -  out  and 
the  proceeds  derived  from  ticket  sales 
are   used    to   continue   the   program. 


Chief  Melvin   Flohr 

In  addition  to  the  boxing  program. 
Chief  Flohr  personally  supervises  a  Jun- 
ior Traffic  Patrol  which  is  divided  into 
four  squads  and  includes  175  members. 
He  also  makes  it  a  point  to  maintain 
a  close  relationship  between  school 
authorities  and  the  police  department, 
thus  when  a  juvenile  does  go  astray, 
he  can  locate  the  guilty  youngster  al- 
most immediately.  The  three-way 
program  has  helped  keep  Santa  Rosa's 
juvenile  delinquency  rate  well  below 
the  national  average  to  say  nothing  of 
moulding    better    citizens    in    later   life. 

With  an  incorporated  community  of 
approximateh-  20,000  persons  to  watch 
over,  plus  another  30,000  in  the  fringe 
area  outside  the  city,  Chief  Flohr  and 
his  men  have  a  multitude  of  problems 
facing  them.  He  has  combined  intelli- 
gence with  careful  planning  to  make 
his  program  of  crime  prevention  and 
law   enforcement   operate  smoothly. 


His  prevention  program  advances 
well  beyond  the  juvenile  stage.  Bad 
check  artists,  who  present  a  major  prob- 
lem to  many  California  peace  officers, 
find  their  activities  greatly  inhibited  in 
Santa  Rosa.  Chief  Flohr  keeps  a  record 
of  all  men  wanted  for  check  passing 
and  each  week  issues  a  bulletin  to  all 
Santa  Rosa  stores  describing  the  wanted 
men  and  their  method  of  operation.  The 
result  is  that  many  a  paperhanger  has 
walked  into  a  Santa  Rosa  business  estab- 
lishment with  the  idea  of  exchanging 
his  rubber  currency  for  good  American 
dollars  and  walked  out  wearing  a  pair 
of  steel  bracelets  and  a  surprised  look 
on    his    face. 

Businessmen  who  deposit  large  sums 
of  money  in  the  local  banks  are  always 
escorted  to  their  destination  by  a  Santa 
Rosa  policeman  and  house  checks  are 
made  by  Chief  Flohr's  men  on  the  homes 
of  all  persons  who  notify  the  depart- 
ment  they   are   going  on   vacation. 

Two  loudspeakers  mounted  on  traffic 
cars  are  used  by  Chief  Flohr's  men  to 
chide  absent-minded  drivers  and  pedes- 
trians and  to  control  unruly  crowds. 
The  chief  points  out  that  these  cars  can 
also  be  used  in  case  of  a  civil  defense 
emergency  or  general  disaster  of  any  sort 
within  the  city. 

During  recent  years  major  crime  has 
been  held  to  a  minimum  in  Santa  Rosa. 
There  have  been  some  burglaries  and 
safe  jobs,  the  majority  of  which  have 
been  solved.  One  murder,  a  baffling 
affair  with  both  clues  and  motive  lack- 
ing, is  still  imsolved,  but  all  similar  cases 
have  been  quickly  cleared  up. 

All  told.  Chief  Flohr  and  his  men 
have  done  an  outstanding  job  of  keep- 
ing the  streets  and  buildings  of  Santa 
Rosa  safe  and  have  contributed  much 
toward  making  Sonoma  county's  larg- 
est city  a  safe  place  to  live. 


GOWAB 


Everyone  who  drives  should  remember

GATEWAY  TO  THE  RIVER 


John  A.  Ellis,  a  veteran  Sonoma 
County  peace  officer,  who  has  been 
chief  of  the  Sebastopol  Police  Depart- 
ment for  the  past  seven  years,  has 
found  that  traffic  and  transient  labor 
are  the  two  chief  problems  in  policing 
the  little  city  which  sites  at  the  gate- 
way of   the   Russian   River   resort  area. 

While   the   chief   points   to   traffic  as 


traffic  to  the  resort  area  created  an 
almost  insurmountable  problem  for 
Chief  Ellis  and  his  men.  Almost  all 
of  the  San  Francisco  Bay  area  passes 
along  Main  Street,  right  through  the 
center  of   Sebastopol. 

Bodega  Avenue,  the  other  main  ar- 
tery running  through  the  city,  was 
rendered    almost   useless    each    weekend 


the  intersection  has  eliminated  the 
problem.  Now,  although  weekend  traf- 
fic still  backs  up  from  one  end  of  the 
town  to  the  other,  Bodega  Avenue  can 
be  crossed  on  busy  weekends  without 
police   supervision. 

With  three  thousand  persons  living 
in  the  city  limits  and  another  three 
thousand  living  in  the  area  immediately 


the  big  problem  in  Sonoma  County,  he 
has  reason  to  be  proud  of  the  town's 
traffic  safety  record  since  he  has  taken 
office.  For  a  two-year  period  there  was 
not  a  fatal  accident  within  the  city 
limits  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  each 
summer  weekend  an  overflow  crowd 
traveling  to  and  from  the  Russian  River 
resorts  jam  the  streets  of  Sebastopol. 
Until    recentlv    the    weekly    flow    of 


FOURTH  OF  JULY  IN  SEBASTOPOL 

by  the  steady  flow  toward  the  resort 
area  along  Main  Street.  Inasmuch  as 
Sebastopol  was  built  around  the  inter- 
section of  Bodega  and  Main,  business 
just  about  came  to  a  stop  in  the  little 
city  on  weekends.  Chief  Ellis'  depart- 
ment was  kept  constantly  busy  in  an 
attempt  to  regulate  traffic  at  the  in- 
tersection. 

The  installation  of  a  traffic  light  at 


surrounding  Sebastopol,  the  town  is  a 
scene  of  constant  activity.  Like  many 
California  towns  this  activity  steps  up 
about  1,000  percent  during  the  harvest 
season.  1  ransient  labor  moves  in  and 
Chief    Ellis'    problems   start. 

The  Chief  says  most  of  the  itinerant 
laborers   are  solid   citizens,    but   always 
in    a    flowing    population,    there    arc    a

CONTROL  IN  CLOVERDALE 


Up  in  the  tall  timber  country'  where 
Chief  J.  Grant  Carnegie  presides  over 
the  Cloverdale  Police  Department,  rev- 
elry, carried  to  excess,  is  an  expensive 
proposition. 

"AVe  make  raising  Cain  on  Satur- 
day night  an  unprofitable  venture," 
Chief  Carnegie  explains.  "It  costs  $15 
to  get  so  drunk  you  cannot  handle 
yourself  in  this  town.  We  do  not  have 
"released  when  sober"  drunks.  And  if 
a  man  decides  he  can  take  on  the  police 
department  we  charge  him  for  that 
privilege  also.  It  costs  him  $100  to 
test  his  manpower  against  ours  in  addi- 
tion to  losing  the  argument.  The  result 
is  a  peaceful  city." 

There  is  a  reason  for  Chief  Carne- 
gie's hard-handed  attitude  toward  over 
exuberant  revelers.  The  chief  will  tell 
you  that  some  lumberjacks  and  loggers 
are  rough  and  rugged  characters,  par- 
ticularly on  Saturday  night.  Not  only 
are  they  rough  and  rugged,  but  they 
take  a  pride  and  delight  in  having  the 
reputation  of  being  tough  men  who 
make   their   living   in   a   tough   trade. 

A  lot  of  loggers  and  lumberjacks 
crowd  the  streets  of  Cloverdale  on 
Saturday  night,  but  they  are  surpris- 
ingly orderly.  Chief  Carnegie  and  his 
four-man  police  department  see  to  it 
that   they   are. 

Cloverdale,  the  northernmost  town  in 
Sonoma  County,  is  peculiarly  enough, 
known  as  much  for  its  annual  Citrus 
Fair  as  for  its  lumber  and  related  in- 
dustries. Each  year  thousands  of  peo- 
ple flock  to  the  thriving  community  to 
attend  the  festival  v/hich  pa\'s  homage 
to  the  nearby  citrus  groves.  Chief  Jus- 
tice of  the  United  States  Supreme 
Court,  Earl  Warren,  attended  the  ses- 
sions regularly  when  he  was  Governor 
of    California. 

In  addition  to  citrus  fruit  and  lum- 
ber, a  variety  of  other  industries  thrive 
around  Cloverdale.  Among  these  are 
some  of  California's  finest  vineyards, 
wineries  and  stock  ranches.  The  lum- 
ber industry  supports  many  saw  mills, 
including  one  of  the  nation's  largest 
plywood   mills. 

Cloverdale  claims  a  population  of 
1600  with  another  1600  living  outside 
the  city  limits.  The  little  city  is  beau- 
tifully located  along  the  Redwood  high- 


way and  consists  of  well-kept,  modern 
homes,  buildings  and  tree-shaded  yards. 
Chief  Carnegie  was  born  in  Canada  in 
1902  and  came  to  the  United  States  at 
the  age  of  13.  His  family  settled  in 
Healdsburg  and  the  Chief  has  lived 
in  Sonoma  County  ever  since.  He  fin- 
ished his  education  in  Healdsburg  and, 
partly  because  he  had  shown  a  natural 
interest  in  law  enforcement  ever  since 
he  was  a  small  boy,  he  became  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Healdsburg  Police  Depart- 
ment in  1933.  Carnegie  was  elevated  to 
the  position  of  Chief  after  a  few  years 
service  and  has  served  in  that  capacity 
through  two  city  administrators.  Later, 
like  many  Sonoma  County  Peace  Offi- 
cers, he  left  the  Healdsburg  Police  De- 
partment to  serve  a  two-year  term  as  a 
deputy  in  the  Sonoma  County  Sheriff's 
office.  Nine  years  ago  he  accepted  the 
position  of  Chief  of  Police  of  Clover- 
dale and  has  handled  the  job  in  an 
admirable  manner  ever  since. 


mental   in   the  capture  of  convicts  and 
criminals    fleeing    northward. 

Recently  he  received  a  radio  call  tell- 
ing of  the  escape  of  four  patients  in 
the  the  LTkiah  Hospital  for  the  Criminal 
Insane.  The  Chief  set  up  roadblocks 
on  each  end  of  the  town  immediately 
and  within  six  minutes  after  receiving 
the   call   had   captured   all  six  escapees. 

The  large  amount  of  traffic  which 
flows  along  U.  S.  101  (which  is  the 
main  street  in  the  city  is  a  constant 
headache  to  the  Chief.  The  steady  flow 
of  visiting  cars  traveling  to  the  northern 
vacation  resorts  or  to  steelhead  country 
in  the  winter  increases  the  department's 
traffic  problem  well  beyond  that  of  the 
average  community  its  size. 

Chief  Carnegie's  department  has  a 
three-way  radio  system  which  consists 
of  a  transmitter  at  police  headquarters, 
a  two-way  radio  in  the  police  car  and 
a  hookup  with  the  Sonoma  County  Sher- 
iff's department.  His  radio  equipment 
also  connects  him  with  officials  in  Lake, 
Napa  and   Mendocino  Counties. 


Chief  Carnegie  is  married  and  is  the 
father  of  two  children,  a  son  and  a 
daughter,  who  are  attending  Cloverdale 
schools. 

Cloverdale,  because  of  its  location  on 
United  States  Highway  101  is  a  nat- 
ural spot  to  set  up  roadblocks  for  the 
purpose  of  apprehending  escaped  pris- 
oners or  fleeing  criminals.  Chief  Carne- 
gie has  done  an  outstanding  job  of 
handling  these  blocks  and   been   instru- 


"Tire  chains  arc  a  lot  of  foolishness — 
I  never  use  them."

BAKER  NOW  VETERAN 


Jim  Baker,  the  sailor  from  Chicago 
Heights,  Illinois,  who  came  out  to  So- 
noma with  the  United  States  Navy  and 
stayed  on  to  become  Chief  of  Police,  is 
at  30,  among  the  veteran  California 
Police    Chiefs. 

A  lot  of  changes  have  taken  place  in 
Sonoma  since  the  day  in  1946  when  Jim 


the  pleasant  little  city  was  worth  the 
thirty-minute  ride  to  work  each  day  and 
moved  there. 

The  principal  employer  of  the  local 
residents  in  the  Sonoma  State  Hospital 
with  about  1,000  jobs.  In  addition  to 
this,  many  light  industries  in  or  near 
Sonoma   provide  work  for  from   75   to 


alcohol. 

Last  year  the  Sonoma  Police  Depart- 
ment, which  includes  Chief  Baker,  Pa- 
trolmen Joseph  Stolz,  William  Apple 
and  relief  man  Bernard  Shelton,  moved 
from  their  old  quarters  in  the  City  Hall 
to  a  new  building  on  Patton  Street. 

The  accommodations  for  law-breakers 


Baker  decided  tn  Vwv  there.  Maii\  ]h-ii- 
ple  who  came  to  the  Valley  of  the  Moon 
had  the  same  idea  as  Jim  and  the  popu- 
lation of  the  little  town  which  was  built 
around  the  Sonoma  .Mission  grew  rap- 
idly. Scores  of  persons  who  had  lived 
and  worked  most  of  their  lives  in  the 
San  Francisco  Bay  Area  came  to  Sonoma 
to  retire  and  spend  the  rest  of  their  lives 
in  the  tree-studded  hills  of  the  pictur- 
esque valley.  Hundreds  of  others,  who 
earn  their  living  in  the  Navy  shipyards 
at  Mare  Island,  decided  that  living  in

Crime  in  Sonoma  is  exceptionally 
light.  During  the  past  year  felonies 
have  been  limited  to  a  mininuim  and 
most  crime  has  been  restricted  to  pett\ 
theft,   such   as  shoplifting. 

A  good  many  traffic  citations  are  dis- 
tributed by  Chief  Baker  and  his  men. 
Their  chief  problem  conies  from  xisitinj; 
tourists,  up  from  the  bay  area  for  a 
riotous  week-end,  who  insist  on  driving 
their  cars  while  under  the  influence  of

Modern  sanitary  facilities  are  provided 
and  the  prison  is  warmed  by  radiant 
heating.  Dining  space  outside  the  cells 
has  been   provided. 

The  jail  has  long  been  a  civic  project. 
It  was  started  early  in  1950  and  has 
been  completed  by  several  local  contrac- 
tors.

Baker  has  had  one  of  his  own  this  year.

Crime,  Crops  and  Containment 


If  Al  Giorgi,  Chief  of  Police  of  Healds- 
burg,  follows  in  the  footsteps  of  his  prede- 
cessors, some  day  he'll  be  a  sheriff  or  hold 
some  similar  exalted  position  ...  or  maybe 
he'll  fool  the  historians  and  just  stay  in 
Healdsburg.  All  things  considered,  he's 
got  a  good  job  in  a  good  town. 

Chief  Giorgi's  predecessors  as  head  of 
the  Petaluma  Police  Department  are 
Melvin  Flohr  and  Harold  Patterson — 
one  now  the  Chief  of  Police  of  Santa 
Rosa  and  the  other  Sheriff  of  Sonoma 
County. 

Al,  who  was  born  in  Healdsburg  May 
28,  1910,  has  had  a  lot  to  do  with  making 
his  native  city  one  noted  for  its  law  abid- 
ing reputation.  Crime — of  the  major  type 
at  least — is  scarce  in  this  prosperous  little 
northern  Sonoma  County  community. 

Healdsburg,  which  is  a  rich  little  city 
of  about  4,000,  shares  the  problems  of  a 
great  many  other  California  agricultural 
communities.  Transient  labor  is  as  neces- 
sary to  California  farmers  as  the  crops 
they  harvest  but  sometimes  it  is  as  trouble- 
some as  a  wart  on  the  nose. 

Most  of  the  farm  hands  who  come  into 
Healdsburg  to  relax  on  Saturday  night 
are  orderly,  respectable  workingmen,  but 
there  are  always  a  few  exceptions.  A  few 
are  inclined  to  imbibe  too  freely  and  a  few 
more  are  inclined  to  react  adversely  to  the 
liquor.  The  result  is  occasional  brawls 
and  a  capacity  crowd  of  19  in  Healds- 
burg's  four-bed  jails  on  a  summer  Satur- 
day night. 

For  the  most  part  the  residents  of 
Healdsburg,  which  is  the  center  of  one  of 
California's  finest  wine  producing  areas, 
are  unaware  of  these  goings  on.  An  occa- 
sional barroom  brawl  can  raise  hob  with 
a  policeman's  evening  and  not  be  noticed 
a  block  away. 

Healdsburg,  for  the  most  part,  is  a 
peaceful  town.  The  residents  there  live 
prosperously  as  the  result  of  the  thriving 
grape,  lumber,  fruit  and  cattle  industries 
which  surround  the  city,  and  enjoy  life  in 
their  tree-shaded,  pleasant  little  commu- 
nity. 

There  is  not  much  crime  in  the  town 
and  for  the  most  part  those  who  commit 
felonies  wind  up  in  the  city  bastille  al- 
most immediately.  A  good  example  of 
Chief  Giorgi's  fast  and  efficient  police 
work  is  the  case  of  the  missing  mistress 
which  upset  the  department's  normal 
routine  briefly  a  year  ago  last  summer. 

For  some  time  a  young  lady  of  ques- 
tionable reputation  had  been  living  with  a 
local  laborer  as  man  and  wife.  The  de- 
partment accepted  their  story  of  marital 


bliss  because  there  was  nothing  else  to  do. 
But  when  they  found  the  man  who  posed 
as  her  husband  lying  face  down  on  the 
bed  in  a  state  of  rigor  mortis  wearing  a 
knife  at  an  odd  angle  in  his  back.  Chief 
Giorgi  and  his  men  did  not  consider  a 
knife  proper  wearing  apparel,  even  for  a 


Chief  Al  Giorgi 

dead  man.  Subsequent  investigation  re- 
vealed a  blood  spattered  room,  a  missing 
"wife"  and  a  missing  woman's  ward- 
robe. 

Chief  Giorgi  and  his  men  worked  fast. 
Within  an  hour  they  had  contacted  many 
of  the  couple's  friends  and  acquaintances, 
learned  about  their  habits,  plotted  a  prob- 
able course  of  flight  the  woman  would 
take  and  sent  out  an  all-points  bulletin 
describing  the  fugitive.  Less  than  half  a 
day  after  they  had  started  the  investiga- 
tion the  woman  was  in  the  custody  of  San 
Mateo  County  Sheriff's  officers  and  be- 
fore the  day  was  over  she  was  on  her  way 
back  to  Healdsburg.  She  is  now  paying 
for  her  crime  in  a  manner  prescribed  by 
law  and  a  Sonoma  County  jury. 

The  Healdsburg  Police  Department  is 
equipped  with  its  own  two-way  radio  sys- 
tem and  two  radio  cars  which  patrol  the 


city  on  a  24-hour  basis.  Added  to  their 
own  radio  system  is  a  hookup  with  the 
Sonoma  County  Sheriff's  Department  in 
Santa  Rosa  and  an  auxiliary  power  plant 
to  be  used  in  case  of  a  regular  power  fail- 
ure. 

traffic  on  United  States  Highway  101, 
which  runs  through  the  middle  of  the 
little  city,  was  once  a  problem  but  two 
traffic  signals  installed  at  the  city's  busiest 
intersections  have  eased  the  situation  con- 
siderably. 

"There  was  a  time  when  you  could 
hardly  get  on  the  Main  Street  because  of 
the  steady  flow  of  traffic,"  Giorgi  recalls. 
"But  the  traffic  signals  have  pretty  well 
solved  that  problem." 

Healdsburg  is  equipped  with  parking 
meters  but,  according  to  Chief  Giorgi, 
parking  violations  are  negligible.  On  the 
whole  the  little  city  is  one  which  presents 
its  chief  with  a  minimum  of  police  prob- 
lems, i  here  are  few  burglaries  within  the 
city  limits  and  holdups  are  rare.  Healds- 
burg, like  its  neighboring  community, 
Cloverdale,  is  not  a  location  which  is  at- 
tractive to  the  average  holdup  man.  The 
escape  routes  are  too  few  and  too  easy  to 
block  off. 

Juvenile  crime,  a  major  crime  in  many 
cities,  is  no  problem  in  Healdsburg  ac- 
cord to  Chief  Giorgi.  He  points  out  that 
the  youngsters  there  seem  to  have  enough 
to  interest  them  without  getting  into 
trouble  with  the  law.  The  chief  cooper- 
ates with  elementary  and  high  school  au- 
thorities in  prevention  programs  and 
maintains  a  firm  but  understanding  en- 
forcement policy. 

Chief  Giorgi  was  married  in  1937  to 
Miss  Lena  Montedonico  and  the  couple 
have  a  ten-year-old  son,  Richard. 


FLUSH  GEAR  HOUSINGS 

It  is  strange  that  many  motorists  who 
would  not  think  of  failing  to  flush  the 
crankcase  occasionally,  will  let  the  trans- 
mission and  differential  gears  go  for  their 
entire  life  without  this  salutary  treat- 
ment, points  out  the  National  Automo- 
bile Club.  It  is  not  enough  to  keep  adding 
lubricant  when  the  supply  in  these  units 
gets  low.  ^Vear  fills  the  grease  with 
filings  and  eventually  it  becomes  more  of 
a  grinding  compound  than  a  lubricant. 

WHALING  STATION 

Fields  Landing,  located  in  Humboldt 
County,  is  reported  by  the  National 
Automobile  Club  to  be  the  location  of  the 
last  active  whaling  station  in  the  United 
States.

FERRYBOAT  FIREMAN 


Melviii  Del  Maestro,  who  once  held  a 
job  which  is  now  extinct  in  the  waters  of 
San  Francisco  Bay  —  he  was  a  fireman 
abroad  the  San  Francisco-Petaluma  ferry 
— has  now  completed  his  fourth  year  as 
Chief  of  the  Petaluma  Police  Depart- 
ment. 

Del  Maestro's  sojourn  on  the  bound- 
ing main — vv'ell,  bounding  bay  anyway — 
was  brief.  He  joined  the  Petaluma  Police 
Department  in  September,  1933  at  the 
age  of  29  and  since  then  has  dedicated  his 
life  to  a  career  of  police  work. 


was  appointed  to  the  rank  of  inspector,  a 
position  he  held  until  he  was  elevated  to 
the  chief's  job. 

To  further  complete  his  training  as  a 
police  executive,  Del  Maestro  was  sent 
to  the  Federal  Bureau  of  Investigation 
National  Police  Academy  in  1950  and 
graduated  with  the  forty-fifth  class.  He 
has  applied  much  of  what  he  learned  there 
to  the  improvement  of  his  department. 

He  has  set  up  a  good  bureau  of  identi- 
fication, complete  with  a  photographic 
gallery,  a  high  speed  camera  and  all  the 


the  best  in  the  state.  Major  crime  is  held 
to  a  minimum.  Burglaries  are  not  nu- 
merous and  criminal  offenses  of  a  lesser 
nature  are  well  handled  by  the  depart- 
ment. Records  show  that  there  are  not 
half  a  dozen  cases  of  reported  felonies 
unsolved  for  the  past  twenty  years. 

The  four  miles  square  area  of  the  city 
is  well  patrolled,  not  only  by  the  depart- 
ment's three-way  radio  patrol  cars,  but  by 
foot  patrol. 

Del  Maestro  has  great  faith  in  foot 
patrolmen.  He  believes  that  in  many  in-

left,  front 


Chief  Del  Maestro  was  born  in  Hum- 
boldt County  in  1904.  When  he  was 
three  years  old  his  parents  moved  to 
Petaluma  and  he  was  raised  in  the  fa- 
mous western  egg  center.  He  graduated 
from  Petahmia  High  School  and  went 
from  there  to  the  job  of  ferryboat  fire- 
man. 

For  nine  years  after  joining  the  depart- 
ment, Del  Maestro  was  a  motorcycle  offi- 
cer. He  followed  this  with  four  years  on 
prowl  car  duty.  This  was  followed  by  a 
year  of  work  in  the  office  after  which  he 


necessary    equipment    including    a    dark- 
room. 

After  becoming  chief,  Del  Maestro 
abolished  the  rank  of  captain  and  substi- 
tuted for  it  that  of  deputy  chief. 

Petaluma,  with  a  population  pushing 
20,000,  is  the  center  of  a  great  poultr> 
area  and  the  eggs  and  fowl  contribute, 
with  a  large  income  from  dairying  and 
cattle  ranching,  to  millions  of  dollars  a 
year  to  the  economy  of  the  city. 

Petaluma's  law  enforcement  ranks  with 


stances  a  man  on  foot  has  a  better  chance 
to  discover  criminals  in  the  act  of  commit- 
ting their  crime  than  a  patrol  car  crew. 

To  illustrate  his  point  he  points  to  the 
night  some  years  ago  when  a  man  on  tiie 
beat  broke  up  two  burglaries  and  brought

Chief  Del  Maestro  was  married  on 
March  26,  1926,  to  Mrs  Gladys  Martin, 
a  resident  of  Petaluma.  The  couple  ha\e

Peninsula  Policemen 


Three  of  California's  most  efficient 
peace  officers  direct  the  destinies  of  the 
police  departments  which  enforce  the  law 
in  the  prospering  communities  which  meet 
on  the  Santa  Clara-San  Mateo  County 
line  on  the  lower  end  of  the  San  Francisco 
peninula. 


Sheriff  Whitmore 

1  he  veteran  arhong  these  police  chiefs 
is  George  Potter  of  Menlo  Park  who  be- 
gan his  police  career  as  a  patrolman  in 
1943  when  Menlo  Park  was  a  town  of 
about  4,000.  Four  years  after  joining  the 
force  Potter,  then  a  captain,  was  appoint- 
ed Chief  and  the  sleepy  little  suburban 
town  where  he  had  started  work  was  a 
bustling  little  city. 

Today  Chief  Potter  directs  the  depart- 
ment from  the  most  modern  and  efficient 
civic  center  on  the  peninsula  and  his  men 
patrol  an  area  where  more  than  20,000 
residents  live,  shop  and  conduct  their 
business.  The  new  police  headquarters  are 
a  far  cry  from  the  ancient  building  where 
the  police  department  operated  when 
Potter  joined  the  force  little  more  than  a 
decade  ago. 

A  few  miles  away  in  Redwood  City 
Chief  Stanley  Wood,  who  ranks  next  to 
Potter  from  a  standpoint  of  seniority  as 
a  chief  among  the  three,  directs  the  desti- 
nies of  the  Redwood  City  Police  Depart- 
ment. Chief  Wood  took  office  October 
1,  1950,  succeeding  Chief  C.  L.  Collins 
who  served  that  community  for  30  years 
as  chief.  Like  Potter,  he  found  himself 
in  charge  of  law  enforcement  in  a  com- 
munity which  is  growing  at  a  rate  which 
is  out  of  all  proportion  to  any  normal 
population  expansion. 


Chief  William  A.  Hydie,  a  relative 
newcomer  to  the  peninsula — he  took  office 
late  in  1952 — is  nevertheless  an  old  hand 
as  a  Chief  of  Police.  Chief  Hydie  came  to 
the  Palo  Alto  Police  Department  from 
Merced  where  he  had  served  as  chief 
since  1948.  Prior  to  that  Chief  Hydie 
served  for  nine  years  as  a  member  of  the 
Albany  Police  Department. 

A  career  policeman,  Chief  Hydie  is 
well  prepared  for  his  job. 

He  attended  Berkeley  High  School, 
The  University  of  California  and  St. 
Mary's  College.  After  finishing  his  col- 
lege courses  he  worked  for  the  Standard 
Oil  Company  of  California  before  accept- 
ing a  job  with  the  Albany  Department. 

Traffic  is  a  major  problem  for  all  three 
peninsula  cities,  with  the  jammed  El  Ca- 
mino  and  equally  packed,  fast  moving 
Hayshore  Highway  traveling  through  all 
three  of  them. 

Palo  Alto,  with  a  reputation  for  firm 
law  enforcement  which  dates  back  to  the 
old  days  of  the  thirties — when  traffic  vio- 
lators had  to  chop  wood  for  the  city 
whether  they  could  afford  to  pay  a  fine  or 
not — had  had  consistently  one  of  the  top 
safety  records  in  California — and  for  that 
matter  the  nation.  This  in  spite  of  the 
brimming  Bayshore  traffic  and  one  of  the 
meanest  and  most  crowded  three  way 
signals  in  existence. 


In  Redwood  City  Chief  Wood  man- 
ages to  keep  traffic  accidents  at  a  minimum 
in  spite  of  the  fact  that  close  to  100,000 
cars  a  day  pass  through  this  city  which 
has  not  yet  reached  the  40,000  mark  in 
population.  A  check  several  years  ago  at 
the  main  crossing  streets  of  main  and 
Broadway  revealed  that  over  two  thou- 
sand cars  an  hour  pass  that  intersection, 
yet  traffic  accidents  are  held  to  a  mini- 
mum. 

Traffic  is  a  major  problem  in  Menlo 
Park  and,  by  means  of  a  continuous  patrol 
through  the  city  by  officers  on  motorcycles 
and  prowl  cars,  with  concentration  on  the 
Baj'shore,  Middlefield  Road  and  the  El 
Camino,  Chief  Potter  and  his  department 
have  maintained  a  commendable  record 
in  curbing  traffic  violations  and  accidents. 

One  of  Potter's  cars  is  equipped  with 
everything  necessary  for  crime  detection 
or  accident  assistance.  A  first  aid  kit  and 
a  camera  fitted  with  a  fingerprint  attach- 
ment are  among  the  equipment  included 
in  the  car. 

Crime  problems  among  the  three  com- 
munities are  about  equal  with  burglaries 
in  some  of  the  larger  foothill  estates 
creating  the  chief  headache.  But  by  main- 
taining good  liaison  with  Sheriff  Earl 
\Vhitmore,  the  three  chiefs  have  managed 
to  maintain  an  outstanding  record  of 
cleared  cases  and  to  hold  major  crime  to 
a  minimum.

SIEGE  OF  THE  CITADEL 


Barred  windows  and  prison  drudgery 
did  not  bother  Joseph  Paul  Cretzer. 
He  was  used  to  them.  Over  half  of 
his  thirty-six  years  had  been  spent  get- 
ting in  and  out  of  jail.  He  could  do  a 
short  stretch  "standing  on  his  ear." 
Life?  All  right,  life.   His  life  or  some-

who  had  disappeared  a  long  time  ago. 
No  one  knew  what  had  really  hap- 
pened to  them.  Many  months  later  the 
bay  yielded  two  bodies,  but  there  was 
no  positive  evidence  that  they  were  the 
missing  prisoners.  They  had  been  in  the 
water    too    long.    No    one    would    ever

body  else.  Or  if  things  didn't  work  out 
right,  he  could  finish  his  life  in  prison. 
He  could  do  it  almost  anywhere.  Any- 
where except  Alcatraz.  At  Alcatraz 
there  was  always  the  pink  shadow. 

Lying  on  his  bunk  in  cell  block  D  he 
could  see  it.  Night  after  night  as  the 
shadows  of  darkness  folded  across  San 
Francisco  Bay  he  could  see  it,  hanging 
over  the  southern  sky.  On  clear  nights 
it  was  thin  and  pale,  suspended  so  high 
that  it  almost  blended  with  the  stars. 
But  when  the  bleak,  gray  fog  bank  crept 
across  the  peninsula,  it  was  a  fircy  or- 
ange-red, low,  and  tantalizingly  real. 
The   reflected   glory  of   half   a   million 


Never  in  its  brief  history  as  a  federal 
penitentiary  for  the  United  States' 
toughest  criminals  had  anyone  been 
known  to  escape  and  live.  It  was  im- 
pregnable. Beyond  the  walls  and  bars 
and  guards  lay  the  last  and  most  formi- 
dable barrier.  The  swirling,  wind- 
chopped  waters  of  San  Francisco  Bay. 

It  was  said  that  no  man  could  swim 
through  that  narrow  stretch  of  icy 
water.  But  it  had  been  done.  A  girl  less 
than  twenty  years  old  had  done  it.  True, 
she  was  a  champion  swimmer  and  she 
had  practiced  for  weeks.  But  she  had 
done    it. 

Then    there   were   the   two   prisoners 


know   for   sure. 

He  remembered  the  escape  attempt 
by  Thomas  Limerick,  Rufus  Franklin, 
and  James  Lucas  in  1938.  They  could 
have  made  it.  If  it  hadn't  been  for 
Harold  P.  Stites,  a  guard,  they  might 
have.  They  killed  another  guard,  Royal 
C.  Cline,  slugged  him  with  a  hammer. 
He  killed  one  and  wounded  another 
and  that  break  attempt  was  over.  But 
they  could  ha\e  made  it.  Or  could 
they?  Lucas  and  Limerick  paid  with 
their   lives   for   the   attempt. 

Deep  in  his  heart  "Dutch  Joe"  Cret- 
zer knew  The  Rock  was  impregnable.

PISTOL  POINTING 


October-November,  1954 


Earlier  in  the  year  the  usual  bulletin 
was  sent  out  to  the  various  police  stations 
announcing  the  EIGHTH  ANNUAL 
INTER  -  DEPARTMENTAL 
CHAjNIPIONSHIP  REVOLVER 
TOURNAMENT.  Immediately  there 
was  a  great  flurry  of  checking  guns  and 
vacation  periods  and  consultations  with 
the  various  company  commanders  on  pos- 
sible changes  of  vacations  and  days  off

States  Savings  Bond.  This  has  been  the 
custom  for  many  years  past  and  Ted 
(Editor's  Note:  My  name  is  \Valt  Ross) 
Hecox,  the  present  editor,  wishes  to  keep 
up  the  good  practice  as  an  additional 
prize  for  the  members  of  the  depart- 
ment to  shoot  for.  From  the  past  matches 
I  have  observed  that  the  recipients  of  the 
bonds  are  really  pleased  with  such  a 
trophy  and   I   am  well  aware   that  the 


year  as  it  has  been  rather  difficult  for 
them  to  get  their  team  together  due  to 
vacations  and  the  inability  to  enlist  other 
members  of  the  policewomen's  section  but 
there  will  be  some  on  the  lines  shooting 
as  individuals.  The  first  match  was  with- 
out the  fairer  sex  on  the  lines  but  the  fol- 
lowing month  should  see  one  or  two  with 
the  gang. 

The  first  match  started  at  10  a.m.,  Sep-

so  they  could  get  out  to  the  range  and 
sharpen  up  that  old  eye  for  the  indi- 
vidual and  team  scores.  These  matches  are 
looked  forward  to  each  year  by  the  offi- 
cers so  they  may  learn  the  new  shooting 
techniques  and  once  again  meet  many  of 
their  old  friends  they  seldom  see  during 
the  year.  And  this  is  the  big  show  of 
the  department  where  champions  will  be 
crowned  and  maybe  records  will  fall. 
Anyhow,  it's  a  great  event.  And  as  per 
usual  the  Police  Officers  Journal  will  do- 
nate to  each  class  champion  a  $25  United 


gang  are  really  out  to  obtain  one  of  those 
slips  of  paper. 

The  rules  and  regulations  are  the  same 
as  in  the  past  and  all  shooting  is  under 
the  NRA  standards  with  matches  in 
September,  October  and  the  last  in  No- 
vember with  the  crowning  of  the  depart- 
ment champion  and  giving  the  awards. 
This  year  the  tournaments  will  be  under 
the  direction  of  Jim  Martin,  the  new 
Range  Master  with  Ed  Woods  and  Art 
Margraf  as  chief  statistical  ofl'icers. 

The  ladies  team  will  be  missing  this 


teniber  2nd,  with  189  individual  shooters 
and  40  teams  all  striving  for  the  top  prize 
with  some  of  the  teams  having  a  tuiif  time 
getting  their  four  men  together  while 
some  eight  or  nine  individuals  being  un- 
able to  finish  their  strings  due  to  gun 
malfunctions  or  stage  fright — anyhow,  it 
turned  out  to  be  a  spirited  match  and 
one  of  the  best  I've  been  to  in  several 
years.  The  winner  of  the  first  match  was 
inspector  Ed  Preston  who  is  no  novice

POLICING   AT   PALOUSE 

(Reprinted  from  the  Sheriff  and 
Police  Reporter,  Seattle) 

Item  in  The  Palouse  (Wash.)  Repub- 
//c  for  Aug.  6,  1954: 

"The  City  of  Palouse  is  in  the  market 
for  a  new  chief  of  police.  Robert  B. 
McPherson,  chief  the  past  16  months, 
has  advised  city  officials  he  is  resigning 
Aug.  7.  Mr.  McPherson  stated  he  is 
accepting  employment  in  the  Student 
Bookstore    at    Pulman." 


Item  in  The  Palusc,  (Hash.)  Repub- 
lic for  Aug.  20,   1954: 

"Palouse  again  has  a  full-time  law 
enforcement  officer  with  the  arrival  of 
H.  E.  Brazington,  who  was  appointed 
chief  of  police  by  Mayor  Hobert  Proc- 
tor. 

"The  new  police  officer  was  formerly 
employed  in  a  similar  position  at  Deer 
Park. 

"The  new  police  officer  was  hired 
with  the  luiderstanding  that  he  will 
take  over  other  duties  with  the  city 
as  well  as  police  work.  These  will  in- 
clude maintenance  work  on  Main  St., 
painting,  weed-cutting,  mowing  of  bou- 
levard strips  and  other  such  jobs.  In  an 
emergency  he  would  also  be  expected 
to   help   out  with   any  city  job. 

"At  the  present  he  begins  work 
around  noon  and  is  taking  care  of  the 
extra  jobs  in  the  afternoon  policing  dur- 
ing the  same  hours  and  at  night.  Resi- 
dents are  asked  to  help  him  observe 
these  hours  by  making  only  emergency 
calls    in    the   morning." 

If  there  is  any  janitor  work  the  citi- 
zens of  Palouse  have  overlooked  for 
Mr.  Brazington  they  should  call  a 
meeting  as  soon  as  possible.  In  a  town 
of  a  thousand  persons  in  the  nation's 
wealthiest  wheat  county  (Whitman), 
the  duly  elected  and  responsible  city 
fathers  hire  a  police  officer  in  such 
manner. 

It  is  time  to  change  the  line  of  rea- 
soning on  the  part  of  the  public  that 
police  work  and  police  officers  are  with- 
in the  category  of  necessary  evils  and 
that  police  work  is  a  relatively  unim- 
portant and  incidental  duty.  It  is  also 
time  to  change  the  line  of  reasoning  on 
the  part  of  the  public  that  whatever  a 
cop  makes  is  all  he  Is  worth.  The  pub- 
lic can.  and  should  stop  this  dangerous 
trend  by  giving  their  policemen  the 
opportunity  to  perform  —  and  insisting 
upon — -good  service,  and  also  by  pay- 
ing their  policemen  well.

SIEGE  OF  THE  CITADEL 

(Continued  from  page  11) 

But  if  the  talent  for  such  a  break  ex- 
isted any  place  in  the  world,  it  was 
right  there  on  The  Rock,  in  cell  block 
D.  Somberly,  Cretzer  studied  his  mates. 

There  was  lean,  wiry  Bernard  Paul 
Coy,  middle-aged  Kentucky  bank  rob- 
ber, serving  twenty  -  five  years  for  a 
shotgun  stickup  in  1937.  At  forty-si.x. 
Coy  didn't  have  much  chance  to  finish 
his  sentence  alive.  He  was  transferred 
to  Alcatraz  because  he  was  too  tough 
for  Atlanta,  and  a  lot  of  tough  men 
were  still   in   the  Georgia  prison. 

Twenty  -  nine  -  }'ear  -  old  Miran  E. 
Thompson,  who  was  serving  a  ninety- 
■  nine-year  sentence  for  kidnapping  and 
life  for  the  murder  of  an  Amarillo, 
Texas,  policeman,  had  a  record  of  eight 
escapes  before  he  was  transferred  to 
Alcatraz  from  Leavenworth,  Kansas,  in 
October,    1945.   Eight  escapes. 

Sam  Shockley,  a  lifer  serving  sen- 
tences for  kidnapping  and  bank  rob- 
bery had  a  record  of  escapes  behind 
him  before  being  transferred  to  Alca- 
traz from  Leavenworth  in  May,  1938. 
Life  is  a  long  time  for  a  man  thirty- 
six  years  old. 

After  finishing  a  thirty-year  sentence, 
Marvin  Franklin  Hubbard  would  be 
sixty-four  years  old.  A  man  couldn't 
have  much  fun  when  he  was  sixty-four. 
Hubbard,  a  Chattanooga,  Tennessee, 
kidnapper,  was  transferred  to  Alcatraz 
in  December,  1944,  after  participating 
in  a  mutiny  at  Atlanta.  He  escaped 
frim    prison   three   times. 

The  kid-  nineteen-year-old  Clarence 
Carnes,  Oklahoma  kidnapper  and  mur- 
derer, serving  ninety-nine  years,  started 
early  on  his  trip  to  Alcatraz,  but  not 
until  he  had  escaped  from  the  Okla- 
homa City  jail.  There  was  a  lot  on  the 
outside  for  a  kid  like  Carnes. 

Louis  Fleisher,  toughest  and  smart- 
est of  the  lot,  was  imprisoned  in  cell 
block  D.  As  leader  of  the  notorious 
"Purple  Gang,"  Fleisher  had  terrorized 
Detroit,  Michigan,  during  the  early 
1930's.  After  many  arrests  on  charges 
of  operating  prohibition  era  rackets, 
bank  robberies,  and  safe  crackings,  he 
was  convicted  of  possessing  unregistered 
machine  guns  and  recently  transferred 
to  Alcatraz.  Fleisher  could  teach  them 
all    something. 

Rufus  "Whitey"  Franklin,  killer  of 
Cline  in  the  1938  escape  attempt,  was 
still  there.  Franklin,  with  his  vast 
knowledge  of  The  Rock's  layout,  and 
virtuosity  with  locks  and  bars,  would 
add  strength  to  any  man's  escape  at-

to  lose.  Serving  life,  in  addition  to  other 
charges,  for  tfie  killing  of  one  of  his 
keepers,  had  not  made  the  prisoners 
lot  an  easy  one. 

Ihen  there  was  himself.  Joseph  Paul 
"Dutch  Joe"  Cretzer,  master  bank  rob- 
ber. For  twelve  years  he  and  his  gang 
had  robbed  banks  without  detection. 
Federal  agents  had  known  his  technique 
by  heart,  but  had  never  been  able  to 
locate  the  gang.  It  was  not  until  he 
"retired"  and  his  gang  pulled  a  job 
without  him  that  they  caught  up  with 
him.  Even  then  he  escaped  from  Ale- 
Neil  Island.  He  was  sent  to  Alcatraz 
when  he  killed  a  United  States  Mar- 
shal while  standing  trial  at  Tacoma, 
Wash.  Handcuiied,  he  had  clubbed  the 
marshal  over  the  head  in  a  last  des- 
perate  try   for   freedom. 

It  was  in  Seattle  that  Cretzer  had 
issued  his  warning  to  Detective  Cap- 
tain Richard  Mahoney.  He  remembered 
that  talk  and  his  promise  to  the  police- 
man. 

"Send  me  anywhere,"  he  had  pleaded, 
"but  don't  send  me  to  Alcatraz.  I  was 
raised  in  San  Francisco.  It's  my  town. 
I  love  it.  From  The  Rock  I'll  be  able 
to  see  the  lights  go  on  in  the  evening. 
All  day  I'll  know  it's  there,  less  than 
a  mile  away.  Market  Street,  the  Mis- 
sion, Broadway,  and  the  North  Beach. 
I  can't  take  that." 

But  it  was  no  use.  The  court  had 
said  Alcatraz.  "I'll  get  out,"  he  had 
screamed.  "I'll  either  get  out  or  I'll 
get  killed  trying."  Then  he  added, 
threateningly:  "And  I  won't  die  alone, 
either!"  His  thoughts  wandered  back 
to  his  fellow  inmates.  Take  Coy,  for 
instance.  Coy  was  a  trusty.  During  the 
day  he  could  wander  almost  at  will  up 
and  down  the  cell  block.  The  thought 
pounded  through  his  brain.  Escape.  He 
had  to  do  it.  Beyond  those  bars  and 
across  a  narrow  strip  of  water  was  the 
city  of  San  Francisco.  Joseph  Paul  Cret- 
zer, b«nk  robber,  murderer,  and  master 
planner,   wanted   to  go   to  town. 

At  two  o'clock  on  the  afternoon  of 
May  2,  1945,  guard  Bert  A.  Burch 
was  in  the  west  gallery,  a  barred  walk 
that  ran  along  the  length  of  the  cell 
house  wall.  It  was  in  this  double  decked 
pathway  that  the  armed  guards  pa- 
trolled the  prison,  protected  from  at- 
tacks by  the  inmates  by  bars,  eighteen 
by  five  inches  apart.  To  avoid  possible 
breaks,  no  guard  was  allowed  to  enter 
the  cell  blocks  while  carrying  arms 
other  than  clubs  or  gas  billies.  The  gun 
gallery  was  entered  only  through  double 
doors  on  the  outside.  It  was  foolproof 
and  tamper  proof. 

In  Cell  block  D,  Bernard  Paul  Coy 
waited    nervously  until   the   guard   was

out  of  sight.  Then,  from  the  far  end 
of  the  cell  block;,  he  climbed,  catlike, 
up  the  barred  catwalk..  Once  on  top 
he  reached  nervously  into  his  uniform. 
Quickly  he  inserted  a  long,  pipelike  ob- 
ject between  the  bars  and  started  work 
with  a  pair  of  pliers. 

In  a  moment  the  bars  were  spread 
apart  far  enough  for  the  lithe  little  man 
to  force  his  way  into  the  gun  gallery. 
Taking  his  home-made  bar  spreader 
with  him,  he  dropped  to  the  catwalk 
and  stalked  silently  toward  the  west 
gallery.  At  its  entrance  he  fell  to  the 
floor  and  waited,  scarcely  daring  to 
breathe.  He  could  hear  the  heavy  tread 
of  the  guard  approaching.  When  he  was 
less  than  three  feet  away,  Coy  lunged 
forward,  bringing  his  heavy  tool  crash- 
ing against  the  skull  of  Burch  with  all 
the  hate  and  fury  years  of  lawlessness 
had  stored  in  his  undersized  body. 

Guard  Burch  never  had  a  chance. 
Trouble  in  the  cell  blocks  was  to  be 
expected.  Trouble  in  the  gun  gallery 
was  impossible.  Yet,  suddenly  it  was 
on  him  in  the  form  of  a  cat-like  little 
man  intent  on  crushing  him  with  a 
blunt,  heavy  instrument.  He  slumped 
to  the  floor  and  lost  consciousness  while 
the  freedom-crazed  convict  beat  wildly 
against  his  skull. 

Satisfied  at  last  that  Burch  could 
offer  no  resistance,  Coy  tied  the  un- 
conscious guard's  arms  behind  his  back 
and  stripped  him  of  his  rifle,  pistol  and 
uniform,  then  reached  for  the  most 
vital  object,  the  keys.  The  bank  rob- 
ber then  took  time  to  secure  fifty  rounds 
of  ammunition,  more  for  the  guard's 
automatic  pistol,  a  dozen  gas  billies, 
clubs,  gas  masks,  and  the  guard's  key 
box.  Then  he  retraced  his  path  to  the 
point  where  he  had  spread  the  bars, 
climbed  through  the  narrow  aperture, 
dropped  to  the  cell  house  floor,  and  the 
three-day  siege  of  Alcatraz  Island  was 
on. 

With  the  keys  he  had  secured  from 
Burch,  Coy  freed  Cretzer,  Thompson, 
Hubbard,  Shockley,  Carnes,  and  many 
other  prisoners.  The  majority,  how- 
ever, shook  their  heads. 

"You'll  never  make  it,"  they  pre- 
dicted, and  stayed  in  their  cells,  the 
safest  place  they  could  sweat  out  the 
battle  that  was  sure  to  come.  Among 
these  was  Louis  Fleisher. 

Warnings  from  their  fellow  prison- 
ers meant  nothing  to  Cretzer  and  Coy, 
however.  Cretzer,  armed  with  Burch's 
revolver,  lead  the  way  through  the  cell 
blocks  to  the  cell  of  Rufus  "Whitey" 
Franklin.  They  found  a  special  lock 
on  the  door  of  his  cell.  Savagely,  Cret- 
zer  turned   to   his  companions.

"Get  the  guards.  We've  got  to  get 
him   out,'     he   ordered. 

Striking  swiftly  and  silently,  the  con- 
victs began  their  assault  on  the  un- 
armed guard  working  within  the  cell 
block.  Une  by  one  they  lead  Captain 
Henry  H.  Weinhold,  Lieutenant  Joseph 
bimpson,  and  Officers  William  H.  Mil- 
ler, Robert  R.  Baker,  Joseph  Burdette, 
and  Robert  C.  Bristovv  into  cell  block 
D.  Ihere  the  guards  were  imprisoned 
in  the  cells  recently  occupied  by  the  con- 
victs. I  he  plan  was  working  smoothly. 
Cretzer  and  his  gang  returned  to  Frank- 
lin's  cell. 

Frantically  they  worked  to  open  the 
door.  But,  in  spite  of  the  imprisoned 
killer's  instructions,  they  were  unable 
to  solve  the  mystery  of  the  double-locked 
door  that  could  only  be  opened  by  an 
electrically  controlled  switch  in  the  gun 
gallery  where  Officer  Burch  lay,  beaten 
and    bleeding. 

Completely  frustrated,  Cretzer  turned 
from  the  cell  and  swore  violently. 
"That's  it,"  he  told  Coy.  "  'Frisco  is 
just  as  far  away  as  ever."  He  lead  the 
way  back  to  the  kitchen,  opened  the 
door  with  keys  captured  from  the  host- 
age guards,  and  opened  fire  on  the  un- 
suspecting armed  guard  in  a  tower  which 
stood  athwart  the  escape  path. 

He  missed.  One  shot  was  all  he  got, 
and  once  he  had  fired,  any  chance  for 
the  convicts  to  add  to  their  small  arsenal 
was  destroyed.  Immediately  the  tower 
guard  picked  up  a  telephone  and  relayed 
the  alarm  to  Warden  James  A.  John- 
ston. The  warden  was  eating  lunch 
when    he    received    the   call. 

"There's  trouble  in  the  cell  block," 
he  heard  the  voice  say.  "I  don't  know 
what  it  is,  but  I  think  it's  serious." 

"Kick  the  siren  if  you  think  it  is 
serious,"  Johnston  answered.  Then  he 
rushed  from  his  home  to  the  scene  of 
action. 

Meanwhile  Associate  Warden  E.  J. 
Miller  heard  the  shot  and  a  guard 
shout:  "Someone's  on  the  loose  with  a 
gun  in  the  cell  block,"  and  rushed  up 
to  the  scene  of  trouble.  He  was  fol- 
lowed by  guards  armed  only  with  gas 
billies  and  clubs.  As  he  ran  forward 
he  noticed  an  officer  with  a  gun,  and 
realized  that  this  was  out  of  order.  No 
armed  guard  was  allowed  into  the  cell 
block.  He  looked  closer,  saw  that  it 
was  the  convict,  Coy,  and  raised  his 
gas  billy.  As  he  diii  so.  Coy  swore  vio- 
lently. 

"I'll  get  you,  Meathead."  He  vaW-A 
his  gun  and  fired  before  Miller  had 
any  chance  to  swing  the  billy.  The  bul- 
let exploded  the  gas  billy  out  of  the 
assistant  warden's  hand  as  he  held  it 
ready   beside   his   face.    Blinded,    Miller

retreated.  As  he  stumbled  from  the  cell 
block  he  was  met  by  Warden  Johnston. 
"They've  got  control  in  there,"  he 
reported.  "I  don't  know  how  man\-  are 
armed,   or   how    heavily. 

"Try  the  \Vest  Gallery,"  Johnston 
ordered. 

A  guard  picked  up  the  prison  tele- 
phone and  tried  to  call  Burch.  After 
several  minutes  he  gave  up.  "1  here's 
no  answer,"   he  told  the  warden. 

Inside  the  cell  house,  Cretzer  and 
his  pals  turned  back  to  cell  block  D, 
and  their  hostages.  "Maybe  we  can  get 
the  keys  and  shoot  our  way  out,"  Cret- 
zer suggested.  "At  least  we  can  try." 

They  came  to  Carl  W.  Sundstrom. 
the  prison  record  clerk,  first.  "Take  oft 
your  clothes,"  the  convict  ordered. 
While  the  guard  stripped,  his  wallet 
fell  out  and  was  picked  up  by  Cretzer. 
The  erstwhile  bank  robber  laughed  as 
he  took  ninety-two  dollars  from  it. 
"You  can  call  this  highway  robbery  if 
you  want  to."  he  chuckled.  Then  he 
turned  to  Simpson.  Without  warning 
he  fired  two  shots,  hitting  the  helpless 
guard  in  the  stomach  and  chest.  The 
maddened  criminal  was  swearing 
viciously  and  laughing  at  the  same  time. 
"I'm  going  to  kill  you.  I'm  going  to 
kill  every  one  of  you,"  he  roared. 

While  his  mates  looked  on.  Cretzer 
fired  t^vo  more  shots,  hitting  Officer 
Baker  in  both  legs.  The  three  guards 
lay  \er\'  still  on  the  floor,  feigning  death. 
Cautiously.  Sundstrom  found  a  pencil 
and  a  scrap  of  paper  and  wrote  a  note. 
It   said: 

"Cretzer  killed  or  shot  Simpson  in 
the  stomach  and  chest  and  shot  Baker 
also.  He  missed  me  so  far.  I  think  he 
will  kill  us  all.  Sundstrom." 

Coy  interrupted  the  intended  massa- 
cre. "Don't  kill  them  all,"  he  warned. 
"We  can   hold   them  for  hostages." 

"Don't  make  me  laugh  harder." 
Cretzer  retorted.  "We  aren't  going  to 
make  any  agreements.  AVe  want  the 
keys  and  we're  going  to  get  them.  Then 
we  ought  to  kill  them  all.  We  don't 
want  any  witnesses."  He  turned  to 
Officer  Miller.  "Strip,"  he  demanded. 
Miller  shook  his  head.  Cretzer  swore 
and  hurled  the  guard  to  a  bench  in  a 
cell.   "I  said  strip!"  he  shouted. 

Miran  Thompson  grabbed  the  rifle 
from  Coy  and  s«-ung  it  toward  the 
guard.  "Let  me  shoot  him.  I'll  put  him 
out  of  his  misen'." 

"Wait."  Cretzer  ordered.  "Give  the 
gun  back  to  Coy."  Then  he  turned  his 
attention  back  to  Miller.  "Get  those 
clothes   off." 

Miller  shook  his  head.  "You  can  go 
straight  to  hell." 
With   his  fists  and  his   feet   Cretzer

attacked  the  guard.  He  pummeled  him 
mercilessly,  knocked  him  down,  and 
jumped   on   his   chest  and  stomach. 

"You've  got  the  keys,  you  Give 

them  to  me."  Still  Miller  held  out. 
Cretzer  continued  his  beating.  Are  you 
going  to  give  me  those  kej's?"  Finally 
the  guard  could  stand  no  more.  He 
nodded  his  head.  Cretzer  jerked  him 
to  his  feet  and  dropped  him  on  the 
bench.  Miller  reached  into  his  pocket 
and  withdrew  the  keys,  then,  while 
Cretzer  studied  them,  made  a  quick 
motion.  The  convicts  heard  the  ring 
of  metal  against  concrete.  They  turned 
and  saw,  far  in  the  rear  of  an  electri- 
cally locked  cell,  the  shining  bit  of 
brass.  It  was  the  key  to  the  back  door. 
The    only   chance   for   freedom. 

For  a  few  moments  the  convicts 
turned  and  tried  desperately  to  enter 
the  cell.  It  was  no  use.  The  cell  was 
like  Franklin's  and  could  only  be  opened 
from  the  gun  gallery.  Coy  ran  for  a 
rubber  squeegee  he  had  been  working 
with  earlier  in  the  day,  but  it  was  in- 
effective. He  could  not  reach  the  vital 
piece  of  metal.  Back  in  his  own  cell, 
Miller  grinned  weakly.  Savagely,  Cret- 
zer turned  on  him.  He  hold  the  auto- 
matic against  the  battered  guard's  chest. 
He  was  wild  with  rage  and  frustration. 

"So  you  think  you're  funny.  Is  this 
funny?"  He  jammed  the  gun  against 
the  guard's  chest  and  pulled  the  trig- 
ger. There  was  a  dull  snapping  sound 
of  the  hammer  coming  to  rest  against 
the  empty  chamber.  The  convict  laughed 
insanely  as  he  pulled  the  empty  clip 
from  his  gun  and  snapped  a  fresh  one 
into  place.  Still  laughing  he  pulled  the 
trigger  twice  and  Miller,  fatally 
wounded  sagged  to  the  floor.  This  time 
there  was  no  stopping  the  crazed  felon. 
He  emptied  his  gun,  wounding  Captain 
Weinhold  and  Officers  Joseph  Burdette 
and  Robert  C.  Bristow.  Knowing  that 
their  lives  depended  upon  their  abilit\' 
to  play  dead  successfully,  the  wounded 
men  lay  very  still.  Only  Suiidstrom  was 
uninjured.  Somehow  Cret/.er  forgot  him 
during  his  wild  rage. 

Meanwhile,  outside  the  cell  house, 
^Varden  Johnston  organized  a  party  to 
enter  the  embattled  cell  house  and  end 
the  mutiny.  Harold  P.  Stites,  hero  of 
the  193S  break  attempt,  volunteered 
to  head  the  mission.  Behind  him  were 
Harry  Cochran,  Herschel  R.  Oldham, 
Clark,  Lieutenant  Johnson,  Lieutenant 
Bergan,  and  Assistant  Warden  Miller. 
Cautiously  Stites  approached  the  cell 
house  door  and  opened  it.  For  a  mo- 
ment he  stood  silhouetted  against  the 
cell  house  door.  He  was  less  than  thirty 
feet  away  from  the  convicts.  They  had 
taken  up  a  position  along  the  first  row

of  cells  in  D  block,  just  above  a  nar- 
row steel  ladder,  the  only  approach  to 
the  block.  From  this  vantage  point  their 
position  was  concealed,  yet  unassailable. 
As  Stites  started  forward  two  shots 
rang  out.  The  guard  slumped  to  the 
floor,   shot  through   the   kidneys. 

^Vhile  the  guards  behind  him  laid 
down  a  heavy  curtain  of  fire,  Oldham 
entered  the  cell  block,  but  before  he 
had  a  chance  was  hit  by  the  deadly  fire 
of  the  convicts.  Next,  Cochrane  entered 
the  block,  only  to  meet  the  same  fate. 

The  three  guards  were  rescued  from 
the  cell  block  by  their  companions  un- 
der heavy  fire,  and  for  the  moment  all 
further  attempts  to  enter  the  cell  block 
were  abandoned.  A  short  time  before 
the  warden  had  sent  his  first  dramatic 
message,  via  telegram,  to  the  mainland. 
It   said: 

"Serious  trouble  has  broken  out.  A 
convict  has  a  machine  gun  in  the  cell 
house.  I  have  issued  a  riot  call  and 
placed  armed  guards  at  strategic  loca- 
tions. Several  of  our  oflScers  are  impris- 
oned in  the  cell  house.  I  cannot  tell 
the  extent  of  injuries  suffered  by  ovir 
officers  or  the  amount  of  damages  done." 

At  the  same  time,  Johnston  appealed 
for  aid  from  the  Army,  Navy,  and  San 
Francisco  Police  Department.  Immedi- 
atelv  Coast  Guard  boats  were  sent  to 
patrol  the  edge  of  the  island  in  case 
the  convicts  should  break  into  the  open 
and  lead  a  mass  escape  into  the  heavily 
populated  San  Francisco  bay  area.  The 
San  Francisco  police  boat,  D.  A.  White, 
stood  by  of?  shore,  waiting  orders  from 
Warden  Johnston  to  land.  In  addition 
to  her  regular  crew,  the  police  boat  was 
manned  by  twenty  picked  men,  headed 
b\'  Captain  of  Inspectors  Bernard  I. 
McDonald. 

At  4.45  p.m.  Marine  Guimer  Charles 
L.  Buckner,  predestined  to  find  himself 
among  the  heroes  of  The  Rock,  received 
orders  to  stand  by  for  further  orders  by 
fhe  Twelfth  Naval  District  command. 
Ginuier  Buckner  ordered  all  of  his  men 
to  remain  in  their  quarters  so  that  he 
could  have  thirtv  men  ready  to  respond 
to  the  riot  call  from  Alcatraz. 

]\Ieanwhile  thousands  of  San  Fran- 
ciscans lined  up  on  the  fashionable  Ma- 
rina and  watched  the  dramatic  scene 
t-hat  was  imfolding  in  front  of  the  city. 
Chief  of  Police  Charles  Dullea  was 
forced  to  dispatch  special  squads  of  po- 
licemen to  handle  traffic  in  the  heavilv 
congested  area.  More  crowds  gathered 
at  vantage  points  on  Telegraph  Hill,  and 
Pacific    Helshts. 

Back  at  Treasure  Island,  Gunner 
Buckner  was  ordered  to  prepare  to  em- 
hark  immediately  for  Alcatraz  with 
thirt\-  volunteers.   He  ordered  his  com-

pany  to  fall  out  and  asked  for  thirty 
volunteers,  and  got  a  hundred  and  sixty. 
The  curious  and  combat  hungry  Ma- 
rines had  to  be  restrained  with  threats 
of  severe  discipline.  Shortly  after,  when 
the  Gunner  embarked  aboard  a  Navy 
P.  C.  boat,  he  discovered  that  in  addition 
to  the  thirty  men  he  had  picked,  three 
men  had  managed  to  smuggle  themselves 
on  the  boat. 

Following  his  orders  to  stand  by  until 
he  was  ordered  to  land,  Buckner  cruised 
off  the  island  for  forty  minutes.  The 
Marines,  hearing  the  sounds  of  battle 
on  the  nearby  island,  stirred  restlessly 
and  battered  their  commander  with  ques- 
tions. Finally  the  AVarden's  boat  came 
from  the  island,  and  took  the  Marines 
aboard  with  the  explanation  that  the 
pier  was  too  shallow  for  a  landing  by 
the  P.  C.  boat.  Buckner  left  ten  reserves 
aboard  the  Navy  boat  and  took  the  re- 
maining twenty-three  to  the  island.  The 
mutiny  on  Alcatraz  was  assuming  the 
proportions  of  a  small  war. 

On  the  dock  Buckner  was  met  by 
Assistant  Warden  Miller,  to  whom  the 
Marine  latter  referred  as  the  "Hero  of 
the  Rock".  Miller  took  the  Gunner  and 
his  men  to  a  wall  surrounding  the  yard 
where  they  would  be  out  of  the  rioting 
convicts'  fire  and  acquainted  the  Marine 
Officer  with  the  situation  to  date  and 
pointed   out   the   possible   lanes   of   fire. 

"We  want  you  and  your  men  to  stand 
guard  over  the  prisoners  who  are  now 
in  the  work  shops  until  the  uprising  is 
over,"  Miller  explained.  "We  can't 
leave  them  in  the  work  shops  and  we 
can't  let  the  outbreak  spread,  so  we'll 
have  to  herd  them  into  the  prison  yard 
imtil  the  war  is  over." 

Buckner  nodded  grimly  and  stationed 
his  men  at  vantage  points  around  the 
wall.  Miller  began  to  release  prisoners 
from  the  lower  level  work  shop.  They 
came  out  slowly  and  sullenly,  cursing 
and  snarling  at  their  green  uniformed 
guards.  The  battle  hardened  Marines 
stood  ready  for  trouble,  and  watched- 
somewhat  in  awe  as  one  hundred  and 
eighty-three  of  the  nation's  toughest  con- 
victs were  lead  past  them.  The  convicts 
muttered  angrily  and  at  times  had  to 
be  forced  forward  at  the  point  of  a  gun. 

As  soon  as  his  Marines  were  posted 
and  all  of  the  convicts  not  in  the  cell 
house  were  in  the  yard,  Buckner  left  a 
corporal,  his  only  non-commissioned  ofTi- 
cer,  in  charge,  and  went  to  the  Warden's 
office  where  Johnston  was  directing  the 
battle.  He  noticed  that  all  of  the  fire 
from  the  cell  windows  was  small  arms 
fire,  and  that  most  of  it  came  from  the 
windows  of  cell  block  D.  Guards  were 
crouching  along  the  catwalk,  firing  into 
the  windows  blindly,  apparently  to  force

the  embattled  prisoners  to  keep  their 
heads  down.  The  puzzled  Marine  enter- 
ed the  Warden's  office  with  a  question. 

"^Ve  came  over  here  to  clean  this 
thing  out  and  we  were  put  on  guard 
duty,   sir,"    Buckner   said.    "Why?" 

"We  need  someone  to  guard  the  pris- 
oners and  couldn't  think  of  any  group 
of  men  available  in  a  hurry  who  were 
better  qualified,"  Johnston  stated.  "At 
the  same  time,  I  feel  that  this  break 
is  the  responsibility  of  the  guards  here 
and  do  not  believe  I  am  qualified  to 
risk  the  lives  of  men  who  have  already 
done  that  sort  of  thing  too  often.  Your 
boys  risked  their  lives  overseas.  There's 
no  need   for  it  here." 

Back  at  his  post  on  the  stockade  wall, 
the  warrant  officer  could  see  that  the 
guards  were  shooting  tracer  bullets 
from  their  rifles,  using  them  to  illumi- 
nate the  interior  of  the  darkened  prison. 
About  11:30  p.m..  Miller  approached 
the  Gunner  and  told  him  he  was  going 
to  lead  an  expedition  to  rescue  the 
guards  being  held  hostage. 

Miller  said  that  two  guards,  R.  E. 
Sutter  and  E.  B.  Lageson,  had  received 
slight  wounds  while  attempting  to  gain 
entrance  to  the  gun  gallery  where  Burch 
was  trapped.  He  added  that  they  had 
managed  to  reach  Burch,  and  after  sev- 
eral attempts,  been  able  to  place  a  large 
steel  plate  between  the  guard  and  the 
rioting  convicts  that  would  provide 
ample   protection    from   their   bullets. 

Shortly  after  being  slugged  by  Coy, 
Burch  had  regained  consciousness,  and 
using  the  thin  steel  moulding  that 
rimmed  the  catwalk  of  the  west  gal- 
lery for  cover,  had  worked  his  way 
worm-like  to  a  stand  supporting  one 
of  the  prison  telephones.  For  several 
minutes  he  lay  listening,  waiting  for 
thf  attention  of  the  convicts  to  be 
taken  from  the  gallery,  then,  brought 
h'mself  up  to  his  knees  and  knocked  the 
phonp  to  the  catwalk.  From  that  posi- 
t'on  he  had  managed  to  give  Warden 
Johnston  some  information  as  to  what 
was  taking  place  within  the  cell  block. 

Later  in  the  evening  Johnston  had 
b^pn  able  to  send  his  men  into  the  gun 
gallerv  with  a  thick  steel  plate  and  re- 
arm the  stranded  guard.  Prior  to  that 
time,  any  one  of  the  blood-thirsty 
felons  who  cared  to  and  was  able  to 
locate  him  could  have  sent  a  bullet 
through  the  catwalk  and  ended  Burch's 
life. 

At  1 1  :30  p.m.  on  Thursday,  Miller 
lead  his  guards  into  the  embattled  cell 
block  D.  They  moved  slowly  under 
the  cover  of  darkness  and  a  heavy  cur- 
tain of  fire  from  the  other  guards. 
At  the  assistant  warden's  instructions, 
Buckner  stood  in  the  visiting  block  and

watched  the  rescue  through  bullet-proof 
glass.  Standing  close  against  the  win- 
aows  he  could  see  the  guards'  dim  fig- 
ures filter  through  the  doorway  and 
crawl  slowly  toward  the  trouble. 

While  a  single  armed  guard  stood  by 
the  cell  house  door,  one  of  his  mates, 
armed  only  with  a  club,  would  crawl 
down  the  service  corridor  toward  the 
hostage  guards,  feeling  his  way  with 
touch  and  hearing  through  the  heavy 
blackness. 

First  unarmed  guard  to  enter  the  cor- 
ridor was  Cecil  D.  Corwin.  Buckner 
saw  the  door  open  and  Corwin's  dim 
hgure  slide  through  the  narrow  aper- 
ture and  disappear  in  the  darkness.  As 
the  guard  passed  nearby,  he  could  hear 
his  heavy  breathing  through  the  ampli- 
fier, used  ordinarily  as  a  speaking  tube 
by  visitors.  The  sound  grew  fainter  as 
the  guard  passed  on. 

Then,  as  clearly  as  if  he  were  stand- 
ing in  the  room,  Buckner  heard  the 
sharp  clang  of  metal,  a  muffled  groan, 
followed  by  a  staccato  series  of  oaths 
from  the  cell  block.  A  shot  echoed 
through  the  cell  block,  then  another. 
For  a  moment  silence  reigned.  Then 
the  Gunner  heard  the  stealthy  breath- 
ing of  a  second  guard  passing  by  the 
amplifier.  He  waited  breathlessly  until 
the  sound  returned,  this  time  heavier 
and  labored,  and  accompanied  by  a  rasp- 
ing sort  of  snore. 

The  door  to  the  darkened  visitors' 
block  opened  and  Buckner  leaped  to 
the  assistance  of  the  two  guards  who 
entered  carrying  a  stretcher.  He  helped 
them  carry  their  burden  across  the  room 
to  the  doctor's  office.  1  here  he  saw  that 
the  bleeding  man  was  Corwin.  Blood 
was  flowing  freely  from  a  wound  in  his 
head  and  he  was  unconscious.  The  Ma- 
rine cursed  softly  under  his  breath  and 
returned  to  his  post  by  the  window. 

Once  again  he  saw  the  figure  flit 
through  the  doorway,  and  heard  the 
phantom  breathing  going  along  and  re- 
turning in  the  company  of  another 
wounded  man.  This  time  he  could  hear 
angry  curses  mixed  with  the  moaning 
as  he  helped  the  guards  carry  their 
wounded  mate  into  the  doctor's  office. 
One  of  them  told  him  the  injured  man 
was  W.  H.  Miller.  He  stood  by  watch- 
ing while  the  doctor  ripped  open  Mil- 
ler's  shirt. 

Two  small  holes,  both  crusted  with 
blood,  were  uncovered  when  the  crim- 
son garment  was  removed,  one  in  the 
chest  and  the  other  in  the  abdomen. 
Beneath  them  the  guard  was  bloated 
to  almost  three  times  his  normal  si/.e 
and  black  with  contusions.  He  listenct! 
bitterly  while  Miller  gasped  our  his 
story.

"It  was  Cretzer,"  he  moaned.  "I 
had  the  keys  and  he  wanted  them." 
The  injured  man  paused  and,  for  the 
moment,  seemed  to  drift  off  into  eter- 
nity.  The   doctor   leaned   closer. 

"Go  on,"  he  requested,  "What  hap- 
pened   next?" 

"I  ...  I  held  out  as  long  as  I  could, 
then  I  let  him  have  them."  Miller's 
words  came  slowly,  painfully.  "He 
jumped  on  my  chest.  He  knocked  me 
down  and  jumped  up  and  down  on  my 
chest  and  kicked  me.  I  couldn't  do  any- 
thing. \Vhie  I  tried  to  resist  he  slugged 
me  with  a  gun." 

A  tiny  trickle  of  blood  flowed  from 
the  corner  of  the  wounded  man's  mouth. 
He  coughed  and  the  air  was  filled  with 
fine  crimson  spray.  Then  he  continued. 
"I  threw  the  key  to  the  back  gate  into 
one  of  the  electrically  locked  cells. 
They  couldn't  get  it.  Then  Cretzer 
went  completely  out  of  his  mind.  He 
jammed  the  gun  against  my  stomach 
and  pulled  the  trigger.  The  clip  was 
empty.  He  said  he  was  sorry  and 
laughed  and  put  in  a  new  clip  and 
pulled  the  trigger  again.  This  time  he 
got  me.  He  roared  with  laughter  and 
shot  me  a  second  time.  Then  he  kept 
pulling  the  trigger  and  hitting  the  other 
men." 

The  little  ball  of  hate  and  rage  that 
had  found  its  way  into  the  Marine's 
mind  was  growing  to  uncontrollable 
proportions  while  he  watched  Associate 
AVarden  Miller  approach  his  name-sake 
with  a  pencil  and  pad  of  paper  in  hand. 

"Do  you  think  you  can  dictate  a 
statement?"  he  asked  gently.  The 
wounded  man  nodded  his  head,  then 
dictated   the  following: 

"Being  in  a  critical  condition  and  be- 
lieving that  I  am  now  dying,  I  make 
this  my  sworn  statement  that  I  was 
shot  with  a  .45  caliber  Colt  revolver 
by  Convict  Joseph  Cretzer,  No.  548, 
whom   I   can   positively  identify. 

"Joseph  Cretzer  shot  me  cold-blood- 
edly and  said:  'I  will  kill  you.'  Cretzer 
shot  me  when  I  was  in  a  cell  in  which 
he  and  the  other  prisoners  had  placed 
me." 

Laboriously,  the  wounded  man 
scrawled  his  uncertain  signature  across 
the  bottom  of  the  statement.  Buckner 
returned  to  his  post  by  the  visitors' 
window.  Schemes  for  ending  the  bloody 
rebellion  pounded  through  his  brain. 
He  remembered  the  day  of  November 
1,  1945,  when  he  had  stepped  into  a 
landing  craft  and  watched  the  dive 
bombers  and  torpedo  bombers  from  the 
old  "Sister  Sara,"  while  his  flat  bot- 
tomed boat  found  its  place  in  forma- 
tion   and    pounded   for  shore. 

He  had  gone  in  with  the  Third  Tank

battalion,  attached  to  the  Third  Divi- 
sion, and  landed  on  i  orokina  point, 
i  he  jungle  smothered  Jap  seventy-sev- 
ens had  spit  dehantly  from  the  Bougain- 
ville beach  head  and  from  the  moment 
the  division  set  foot  on  the  marshy  sur- 
face of  the  island,  he  had  seen  little 
besides  blood  and  sutfenng  and  more 
blood.  He  remembered  hulking,  two 
hundred  and  fifty  pound  Captain  War- 
ner, who  had  served  in  Japan  as  a 
military  attache,  and  how  the  Captain 
had  shouted  orders  to  the  enemy  in 
their  own  language,  and  by  so  doing 
had  drawn  them  into  a  lethal  trap. 
And  he  remembered  how  the  Captain's 
plan  had  finally  backfired  and  he  took 
two  slugs  just  above  the  knee,  and  how 
his  lips  drained  free  of  blood  and  his 
forehead  was  covered  with  the  cold, 
beady  sweat  of  agony,  while  they 
dragged  him  to  safety.  And  while  his 
mind  wandered  he  could  hear  the  ghost- 
like breathing  of  the  creeping  guards 
in  the  service  corridor  and  the  soft 
moaning  curses  behind  him.  And  while 
he  watched,  the  kinship  that  one  man 
who  has  faced  death  feels  for  his  fel- 
low soldiers  welled  up  and  pushed  itself 
into  a  lump  at  his  throat.  He  moved 
grimly  to  the  door  to  admit  another 
victim. 

The  latest  was  Lieutenant  Simpson, 
shot  twice  in  the  stomach,  and  hover- 
ing over  the  border  of  death.  The 
wounded  officer  punctuated  his  moans 
with  muttered  curses,  while  Buckner 
lead  the  way  to  the  doctor's  office.  The 
Marine  thought  about  the  pill  boxes 
on  Guam  and  the  Japs  that  had  not 
seen  them  come  or  go  on  Chichi  Jima. 
On  Bougainville  there  had  been  dirt 
pill  boxes  braced  by  coconut  logs  fif- 
teen feet  thick.  They  had  been  cleaned 
out  in  24  hours,  but  not  without  cas- 
ualties. This  prison  couldn't  be  tougher. 
The  thought  kept  coursing  through  his 
mind.  This  place  could  be  beaten. 

Still  the  unarmed  guards  worked 
their  way  along  the  service  corridor, 
returning  with  their  pain-laden  cargoes. 
Another  one,  Fred  J.  Richberger,  was 
hit,  but  returned  with  a  wounded  com- 
rade at   his  side. 

Captain  \VeinhoId  emerged  from  the 
battle  ground,  carrying  two  bullets 
through  his  chest  and  one  through  his 
left  arm.  Buckner  could  see  that  the 
captain  was  in  agony  and  going  deep 
into  shock.  The  guard  looked  at  him 
and  spoke,  half  in  delirium:  "So  the 
Marines  have  landed.  I  guess  we  haven't 
got  anything  to  worry  about  now." 

The  Warrant  Officer  winced.  He 
glanced  around  him  and  saw  that  the 
last  of  the  guards  had  been  brought 
in    from    the    cell    block.    For    a    short

time  he  occupied  himself  with  the  re- 
moval of  the  injured  men  from  the 
island.  Then  he  returned  to  Warden 
Johnston's  office.  A  cold  rage  was 
working  its  way  to  the  surface.  He 
faced   the   island's  field   general. 

"I've  been  thinking,  Warden,"  he 
said,  "and  I  believe  that  I  could  be 
of  some  assistance  in  getting  those  guys 
out.  Hand  grenades  ought  to  work. 
Or  maybe  a  bazooka  would  do  the  job. 
But  there  must  be  some  way  we  can 
route  them  out.  I've  seen  this  kind  of 
action,  lots  of  it,  and  I  think  I  know 
more  about  the  kind  of  weapons  needed 
than  the  average  guard." 

"All  right,  Gunner,"  the  Warden 
responded.  "It's  against  my  principles, 
but  I'll  give  you  a  chance.  We're  not 
getting  anywhere,  the  way  things  are 
going." 

Accompanied  by  the  Assistant  War- 
den Miller,  Gunner  Buckner  started 
for  the  cell  block.  The  prison  official 
was  carrying  a  handful  of  small  red 
flares. 

"We'll  go  to  the  cell  block  and 
shoot  these  things  off  inside.  They're 
not  much  as  flares  go,  but  they  ought 
to  give  you  enough  light  to  look  over 
the  situation  inside,"  Miller  told  him. 
"I  think  you  ought  to  see  how  things 
are   before   you   make   any  plans." 

"That's  fair  enough,"  Buckner  re- 
plied. "Where  did  you  get  those  flares, 
incidentally?  I've  never  seen  any  like 
them.   Are   they  standard   here?" 

Miller  smiled.  "Not  exactly.  They 
washed  ashore  one  day  and  I  stored 
them  away.  I  never  dreamed  they'd 
come  in  handy,  but  it  seemed  a  shame 
just   to   throw   them   away." 

They  stopped  talking  as  they  drew 
near  the  cell  house  and  crouched  out- 
side. Miller  lit  one  of  the  flares  and 
tossed  it  in  the  cell  block.  From  the 
end  of  the  service  corridor,  the  Ma- 
rine caught  a  brief  glimpse  of  the  in- 
terior and  judged  it  to  be  about  80 
feet  long.  A  second  flare  revealed  that 
three  tiers  of  cells  rose  along  the  ser\- 
ice  corridor,  which  house  nothing  but 
a  maze  of  pipes  and  a  narrow  catwalk. 
"Do  you  see  that  ladder?"  Miller 
wanted  to  know,  after  lighting  \ip  a 
third  flare.  Buckner  nodded,  then 
ducked  when  a  brief  fusilade  of  bul- 
lets roared  from  the  interior  of  the 
cell  house.  Miller  hugged  the  ground 
beside  him  and  continued.  "That  lad- 
der is  the  only  approach  to  the  first 
tier  of  cells.  The  cons  are  just  above 
it.  Anybody  who  pokes  his  head  above 
the  platform  will  get  it  blown  off.  The 
same  holds  true  for  almost  anyone  who 
uses  the  service  corridor." 

The    firing   subsided    and    the   assist-

ant  warden  lit  another  flare.  For  a 
flickering  moment,  Buckner  stared  at 
the  narrow  service  corridor  and  the 
ladder.  He  judged  the  aisle  to  be  about 
four  feet  wide,  with  the  ladder  at  the 
far  end.  From  their  vantage  point  on 
the  first  tier,  the  rioting  convicts  com- 
manded every  available  entrance  to  the 
cell  block,  meanwhile  remaining  invisi- 
ble   themselves. 

"Maybe  we  could  use  grenades," 
Aliller   suggested. 

"Maybe,"  he  Marine  agreed.  "How- 
wide  are  the  bars  on  the  cell  doors 
separated.    It    will    make    a    difference." 

"About  four  by  eight  inches,"  the 
official    told    him. 

Buckner  shook  his  head.  "Then  gre- 
nades are  out.  I  thought  that  we  might 
be  able  to  toss  a  few  fragmentation 
hand  grenades  into  the  cells.  If  we 
could  get  them  inside,  exploding  at 
close  range,  we  could  tear  them  to 
pieces.  But  we  could  never  get  a  gre- 
nade through  those  bars.  For  ever\- 
one  that  gets  through,  a  hundred  might 
ricochet,  and  there  is  nothing  more 
dangerous  than  a  grenade  that  bounces." 

"Could  you  use  mortars  then?"  Mil- 
ler wanted  to  know.  Once  again  Gun- 
ner Buckner  shook  his  head  and  ex- 
plained: 

"Lou  Diamond  couldn't  drop  a  mor- 
tar shell  into  this  cell  block  from  the 
edge  of  the  island,"  the  Marine  stated. 
"The  path  of  trajectory  of  a  mortar 
is  long  range,  and  much  too  high  for 
accurate  work  in  a  case  like  this.  I'd 
shoot  clear  over  the  island,  and  wouldn't 
be   able  to  help   it." 

"What  about  a   bazooka,   then?" 

"That  might  do  it,"  Buckner  ad- 
mitted. "But  they're  awfully  high 
velocity  and  destructive.  I'd  rather  wait 
with  them.  But  there  must  be  some 
way." 

For  a  moment  they  were  silent.  The 
firing  had  stopped  and  darkness  pressed 
around  them.  Then  Miller's  face  bright- 
ened. "We  got  it,"  he  declared.  "We 
can  bore  holes  through  the  roof  of  the 
cell  block  and  drop  hand  grenades 
straight  down.  They  can't  bounce  back 
up." 

"That's  right,"  Buckner  agreed.  "But 
what  good  would  they  do?  Probably 
about  75  percent  of  them  would  fall 
into  the  service  corridor  below  the 
cons.  That  sounds  sort  of  useless." 

Miller's  face  darkened.  "You  think 
of  everything.  It's  too  bad,  but  I  guess 
vou're  right.  How  about  holding  them 
and  waiting  for  the  fuse  to  burn  short?" 

"No.  Some  of  them  have  a  short 
fuse  to  begin  with.  If  a  five-second 
fuse  burns  three,  you  might  get  your 
hand  blown  oflF."  He  paused  and  pon-

dered.  "But  you've  got  something  there. 
There  must  be  some  way  to  get  those 
grenades  to  explode  where  we  want 
them." 

i  he  pair  turned  and  headed  back 
toward  the  warden's  office.  Behind 
them  the  sounds  of  battle  flared  up 
briefly.  Glancing  back  they  could  see 
tracer  bullets  tearing  into  the  besieged 
cell  block  and  tracing  crazy  patterns 
as  they  ricocheted  from  wall  to  wall 
behind  the  barred  windows.  Finally, 
the   Marine  spoke. 

"1  think  I've  got  it.  Let's  get  the 
holes  bored.  And  while  we're  at  it,  it 
might  be  a  good  idea  to  send  for  some 
anti-tank  rifle  grenades.  An  ordinary 
rifle  grenade  would  be  just  as  likely 
to  ricochet  as  the  little  ones,  but  the 
anti-tank  weapons  burst  on  impact. 
Ihey  make  shrapnel  of  anything  thev 
hit.'' 

"We'll  get  them,  but  we'll  have  to 
wait  for  daylight  to  drill  the  holes,  so 
wc  can  pick  the  right  spots,"  .Miller 
told  him.  "In  the  meantime,  what's 
your    idea?" 

"It's  simple.  All  I  need  is  some  string. 
A  hand  grenade  is  set  off  by  a  fuse 
that  is  ignited  by  a  cap  similar  to  one 
used  in  the  shell  of  a  bullet.  When  the 
pin  is  pulled  and  the  lever  released,  a 
striker,  similar  to  the  hammer  and  fir- 
ing pin  of  a  rifle,  hits  the  cap  and  e.\-- 
plodes  a  small  charge  of  powder,  which, 
in  turn,  ignites  the  fuse  and  eventually 
sets  off  the  black  powder  that  makes 
the  grenade  effective." 

"If  1  tie  string  around  the  grenade 
atxi  cut  it  at  the  proper  length,  pull 
the  pin,  anrl  drop  the  grenade,  it  will 
fall  to  the  end  of  the  string,  hang  there, 
and  then  burst  in  midair  like  an  anti- 
aircraft shell.  It's  effectiveness  will  be 
increased  because  shrapnel  will  fly  in 
four    directions." 

Miller  nodded  admiringly.  "Some- 
where, there  is  a  touch  of  genius  in 
that  idea,"  he  observe<l.  "Let's  take  it 
to    Warden    Johnston." 

Johnston  promptly  approved  the  proj- 
ect and  at  five  a.m.,  on  May  3,  Work 
was  started  drilling  holes  into  the  roof 
of  the  cell  house.  The  plan  was  to  have 
the  Gunner  move  from  hole  to  hole 
at  irregular  intervals  so  that  no  section 
of  the  block  would  be  safe. 

At  5:30  a.m.,  Buckner  pulled  the 
pin  of  the  first  grenade  and  dropped 
it  through  the  freshly  drilled  hole.  The 
string,  which  should  have  pulled  taut, 
hung  limp  in  his  hand.  Miller  stared. 
"It  must  have  caught  in  the  screen  un- 
der  the   roof." 

"I  see  it,"  Buckner  gasped,  lunging 
toward  the  hole.  "Get  out  of  here." 
His  hand  shot  down   the  hole,  and

with  a  quick,  twisting  movement,  he 
treed  the  grenade  and  dropped  it  clear, 
twisting  himself  away  from  the  hole  as 
he  did  so.  Immediately  the  deadly  mis- 
sile   roared    below   them. 

For  a  moment  Buckner  lay  still,  his 
eyes  closed  and  his  body  trembling.  His 
tropical  tan  had  faded  to  an  ashen  gray. 
Finally  he  sat  up  and  glanced  at  Miller. 

"I  thought  that  was  it.  Believe  me, 
I've  looked  at  the  old  man  with  the 
scythe  before,  but  this  time  I  could  feel 
his   breath." 

"Why  didn't  you  run?"  Miller 
wanted    to    know. 

"I  never  could  have  made  it,"  Buck- 
ner  replied.  "When  I  reached  for  that 
grenade  I  only  had  about  two  seconds 
left."  He  grinned.  "Well,  I  made  it. 
This  time  I'll  have  to  be  more  care- 
ful," he  added,  pulling  the  pin  of  a 
second  grenade  and  working  it  past 
the  wire  before  he  released  the  lever 
and  dropped  it.  This  time  he  was  com- 
fortably away  from  the  hole  when  the 
charge    exploded    below. 

Griml)'  Buckner  clung  to  his  task, 
working  up  and  down  the  utility  cor- 
ridor running  through  blocks  C  and 
1).  After  more  than  a  dozen  grenades 
had  been  exploded,  guards  watching 
the  outside  reported  a  white  cloth 
showing  in  the  cell  house.  AVarden 
Johnston  hurried  to  the  scene.  For  the 
moment  all  firing  ceased,  but  the  truce 
was    short-lived. 

"We  want  to  make  a  deal,"  a  \oice 
shouted   from   the  cell   block. 

"Throw  out  \our  guns  and  ammuni- 
tion," ordered  Johnston.  "That  is  the 
onh    kind  of  a  deal  we'll  make." 

His  answer  was  a  bullet  singing  close 
by.  Gunner  Buckner  resumed  his  bom- 
bardment. With  each  shell  he  dropped, 
a  pistol  shot  aimed  at  his  exposed  hand 
answered.  Because  of  the  threat  from 
the  convict's  bullets  the  W^arrant  OfK- 
cer  ripped  the  skin  raw  on  his  right 
arm  as  he  jerked  it  away  from  danger 
through  the  cell  house  screen.  As  the 
attack  wore  on,  it  became  apparent  that 
the  besieged  convicts  had  found  cover. 
Buckner    paused. 

"Those  rifle  grenades  have  arrived," 
Miller  reported.  "Do  you  want  to  tr\ 
\our  hand  at  those?" 

Buckner  nodded  and  the  group  re- 
tired from  the  roof.  The  new  weapons 
were  waiting  in  the  Warden's  office. 
"We'll  have  to  take  them  to  the  beach," 
the  Marine  stated.  "These  things  were 
meant  to  he  used  at  long  range." 

Miller  pointed  out  desirable  windows 
for  the  Gunner  to  use  as  a  target,  and 
because  of  their  nature  the  Marine  was 
forced  to  pick  an  exposed  position.  He 
studied   the  situation  briefly.

"I'm  afraid  to  use  a  Garand,"  he 
stated.  "The  range  is  too  short,  and  I'll 
probably  shoot  clear  across  the  island. 
I  don't  know  how  high  the  trajectory 
of  these  things  is."  He  fitted  a  grenade 
on  the  end  of  his  six-pound  gun  and 
fired.  Because  of  his  e.xposed  position 
he  was  forced  to  lie  prone  and  shoot, 
and  his  body  jerked  convulsively  as  it 
absorbed  the  full  shock  of  the  heavy 
missile.  The  grenade  skittered  through 
the  grass  and  came  to  rest  close  to  the 
prison  wall.    Nothing  happened. 

"Why  didn't  it  explode?"  Miller 
wanted   to   know. 

"I  didn't  pull  the  pin,"  Buckner  re- 
plied. "I  never  knew  if  a  carbine 
would  fire  one  of  those  things  success- 
fully. Now  I  know  it  won't.  I  might 
have  killed  someone  if  I  had  pulled  the 
pin.  I'll  have  to  have  a  Garanad." 

A  guard  took  the  Gunner's  carbine 
to  the  Marines  on  duty  in  the  stock- 
ade and  returned  with  a  private's  rifle. 
Once  again  Buckner  fitted  the  missile 
to  his  gun  and  fired.  The  projectile 
described  a  high  arc  and  landed  high 
and  to  the  left  of  the  target  window. 
Buckner  moved  his  sights  and  fired  a 
second  grenade.  It  hit  dead  center,  but 
exploded  on  contact  with  the  bars.  A 
third,  and  then  a  fourth  were  fired  be- 
fore the  bars  folded  back  like  curled 
spaghetti  and  the  deadly  missiles  ex- 
ploded inside  the  cell  block.  Once  again 
a   white   cloth   appeared. 

"^Ve  want  to  surrender,"  came  the 
\oice   from   the   cell    block. 

"Where  are  your  guns?"  Johnston 
asked.  Once  again  his  answer  was  a 
burst  of  gunfire.  Buckner  resumed  his 
shelling.  As  each  projectile  left  his  gun, 
his  prone  bod\'  jerked  back  in  the  sand. 
Rifle  fire,  at  intervals,  raked  the  air 
over  his  head.  As  the  day  wore  on  the 
Marine's  face  took  on  a  ruddy  glow 
and  turned  almost  purple  as  the  fir- 
ing progressed.  Thirty  shells  were 
fired,  and  the  Marine  clung  stub- 
bornly to  his  task.  Forty,  and  the 
answering  fire  from  the  cell  block  di- 
minished. Only  two  of  the  forty  shells 
had  failed  to  strike  the  window.  One 
of  these  Buckner  had  deliberately  mis- 
placed in  an  effort  to  smash  in  the 
wall.  After  firing  the  fiftieth  shell,  a 
thin  stream  of  blood  began  to  trickle 
from  the  Marine's  nostrils.  The  dark, 
sweaty  splotch  where  the  rifle  butt 
rested  against  his  khaki  shirt  took  on 
a  pinkish  hue.  After  firing  his  sixtieth 
grenade,  Buckner  laid  his  rifle  aside. 
He  had  not  had  any  answering  fire 
for  some  time.  Darkness  was  approach- 
ing. His  right  shoulder  was  swollen  to 
twice   its   normal   size   by   the   force  of

BAKER   NOW   VETERAN 

(Continued  from  page  '7 ) 
During    the   summer    the   chief   and    his 
family  moved  into  a  new  home  which  he 
constructed  for  himself,  working  during 
the  oii   hours. 

Chief  Baker  gives  credit  to  the  Sono- 
ma County  Sheriff's  office  for  making 
his  job  easier.  He  says  excellent  co- 
operation by  the  resident  deputies  make 
the  work  of  his  men  much  easier. 

Chief  Baker  joined  the  Sonoma  Po- 
lice Department  August  10,  1946,  im- 
mediately after  marrying  a  Sonoma  girl 
he  had  met  while  serving  at  the  Sonoma 
Mission  Inn  when  it  was  in  the  hands 
of  the  United  States  Navy. 

During  the  years  which  followed  he 
made  a  favorable  impression  on  almost 
everyone  in  Sonoma.  He  did  his  job  in 
a  quiet,  unassuming  manner  which  at- 
tracted attention  and  admiration.  At  the 
end  of  five  years  Baker  was  appointed 
Chief  of  Police  of  Sonoma.  He  'was 
just  27  years  old,  one  of  the  youngest 
of  California  police  chiefs.

the  recoil  of  the  shells  against  his  shoul- 
der. He  turned  to  Miller. 

"I'm  pretty  mad,"  he  said,  "but  I'm 
not  mad  enough  to  fire  another  shell 
from  that  gun.  I  wouldn't  be  human 
if   I   did." 

Miller  nodded.  "I  guess  it's  no  use, 
anyway.  Ihe  guards  by  the  cell  house 
think  they've  moved  to  cell  block  C. 
One  of  them  fired  a  shot  through  the 
door  leading  from  the  service  corridor 
of  cell  block  C.  They  think  they're 
trapped  in  the  aisle.  If  they  are,  maybe 
we  can  roll  hand  grenades  down  it 
and    get    them    that    way.  " 

"You'll  never  get  them  that  way. 
they'll  take  cover  under  the  revet- 
ment in  the  center  of  the  corridor. 
Once  they're  there,  I  might  get  them 
with  the  anti-tank  grenades  shooting 
down  the  roof,"   Buckner  told  him. 

"Can  you  stand  shooting  a  few  more 
shells?"    Miller    inquired. 

"I  suppose  so,  standing  up.  My  body 
will  have  a  chance  to  fall  back  under 
the   recoil." 

Guards,  equipped  with  grenades,  took 
up  positions  at  each  end  of  the  corri- 
dor. At  a  given  signal  they  began 
rolling  their  deadly  missiles  down  the 
corridor.  After  several  had  been  ex- 
ploded on  each  side,  Buckner  opened 
fire  on  the  heavy  cement  revetment. 
The  shells  blew  huge  chunks  free,  but 
failed  to  smash  through.  Buckner 
paused,  then  fired  four  more  shots.  He 
turned    to    Miller. 

"If  the  concussion  didn't  get  them, 
nothing  will,"  he  observed.  As  he  spoke, 
a  defiant  shot  rang  out  from  the  cell 
house.  The  convicts  had  apparently 
taken    refuge   in   the  cells. 

While  Buckner  retired  to  Warden 
Johnston's  office  to  rest.  Miller  took 
measures  to  keep  the  convicts  pinned 
in  cell  block  C.  A  short  time  later  a 
detachment  of  Marines  arrived  from 
the  Yerba  Buena  Island  court  martial 
brig  to  relieve  Buckner  and  his  ex- 
hausted   crew. 

As  the  evening  progressed,  the  battle 
wore  on,  monotonously.  The  tired 
guards,  and  replacement  detachments 
from  San  Quentin  prison  and  Leaven- 
worth shot  at  shadows.  Then,  as  the 
night  wore  on,  the  shooting  stopped. 
Attempts  by  the  guards  to  draw  the 
convicts'  fire  provide  to  no  avail.  For 
the  first  time  in  almost  36  hours  silence 
prevailed   on    the   island. 

At  9:45  on  Saturday  morning,  after 
a  hurried  strategy  conference.  Assistant 
Warden  Miller  entered  the  cell  block 
at  the  head  of  a  detachment  of  guards, 
their  guns  blazing.  Their  only  answer 
was  silence.  Then,  halfway  down  the 
service    corridor,    they    found    the   body

of  Joseph  Bernard  Coy,  dressed  in  the 
uniform  of  a  guard,  with  a  rifle  by  his 
side.  He  was  crouched  in  a  firing  posi- 
tion. 

Only  a  few  feet  further  on,  the 
earthly  remains  of  "Dutch  Joe"  Cret- 
zer  lay  huddled  in  the  aisle,  wearing 
an  officer's  holster  and  with  Burch's 
forty-five  lying  by  his  side.  The  one- 
time public  enemy  number  one  had 
reached  the  end  of  the  trail  with  a 
rifle  bullet  in  his  skull.  Further  down 
the  cell  house,  Marvin  F.  Hubbard, 
dressed  in  Coy's  jacket  and  armed  onh' 
with  a  knife,  was  found  with  a  bullet 
in  his  brain.  Coy,  too,  had  been  shot 
in  the  head. 

Thompson,  Sam  Shockley  and  Carnes 
were  all  immediately  placed  in  solitary- 
confinement  where  they  will  await  a 
murder  trial,  having  been  implicated  in 
the  bloody  escape  attempt  by  the  testi- 
mony of  the  hostage  guards. 

Quiet  reigned  again  on  the  world's 
most  notorious  prison.  There  was  more 
blood  on  The  Rock,  but  the  island 
citadel's  record  was  intact.  The  world 
knew  once  more  that  the  fortress  was 
impregnable.  Escape  from  Alcatraz  was 
easy.   But  only  on  the  wings  of  death. 


PISTOL    POINTING 

(Continued  from  page  12) 

gleside  Station,  finished  second  and  Walt 
Van  Dehay  was  in  the  third  spot. 

It  was  quite  a  hassel  for  that  second 
spot  as  both  Schaugaard  and  Van  Dehay 
were  tied  with  a  292  so  the  Creedmore 
system  was  employed  and  Karl's  higher 
rapid  fire  shoved  ^Valt  down  to  the  third 
spot.  Being  up  in  the  prize  winners  is  new 
for  Walt  as  this  is  his  first  crack  at  the 
big  prizes  and  it  looks  like  he  is  one  to  be 
reckoned  with  this  year.  Karl  turns  in  a 
beautiful  possible  in  the  bobbing  target 
match  with  a  perfect  400  score  being  the 
first  time  this  has  been  done  in  any  of  the 
matches.  It  was  Karl's  possible  that  gave 
his  team  first  place  in  the  team  matches 
as  they  took  the  lead  over  the  Taraval 
squad  by  only  three  points  but  due  credit 
must  be  given  to  Diniphy's  high  2^?i  and 
to  the  scores  of  Southern  and  Lacau  all  of 
which  contributed  to  their  win.  Willetr, 
More\',  Foster  and  Van  Dehay,  of  the 
Taraval  Station  shot  well  as  a  team  and 
were  a  bit  crest-fallen  by  being  in  second 
place  but  swore  by  the  nine  gods  that  the 
next  match  would  find  them  in  the  top 
position. 

So  with  Inspector  Ed  Preston  the  in- 
dividual winner  of  the  first  match  and 
Inglesidc  station  the  winner  of  the  team 
match  we  can  all  settle  down  until  the 
boys  get  together  in  October.

An  odd  situation  arose  with  McCor-

Marksman  2nd  class  when  each  man 
came  through  with  a  214  score  for  1st, 
2nd  and  3rd  place.  McCormick  had  the 
highest  rapid  fire  score  so  was  given  1st 
place.  Scheurer  and  Busalacch  both  had 
the  same  rapid  score  so  it  depended  on  the 
timed  fire  score  for  second  place  and  as 
Scheurer  was  a  couple  of  points  to  the 
good  he  took  second  place  leaving  Busa- 
lacch in  the  third  spot.

Pistol  News 

There  was  a  great  deal  of  activity 
during  the  month  of  June  on  both  sides 
of  the  bay  with  the  closing  of  the  San 
Francisco  matches  and  the  big  tvvo-da\' 
shoot  in  Oakland  —  both  events  were 
really  something.

gregate  show  on  Saturday,  June  5th  and 
Sunday,  June  6th  with  165  shooters  on 
Saturday  when  the  .45  matches  were 
finished  with  Milt  Klipfel  of  the  High- 
way Patrol  taking  the  day's  honors.  Bob 
Chow,  the  San  Francisco  gunsmith,  fin- 
ished in  second  place  and  Bob  Thomas 
of  the  Highway  Patrol  team  finished  in 
the  third  spot.  Evidently  the  2700  aggre- 
gate pleased  the  gang  so  the  Oakland 
Club  is  thinking  of  holding  another  one 
later  on  in  the  year,  maybe  around  Octo- 
ber. The  only  hitch  in  the  proceedings 
that  kinda  threw  the  shooters  was  that 
on  Saturday  there  were  two  .22  matches 
chucked  in  for  good  measure  and  as 
some  of  the  boy  couldn't  make  it  Sat- 
urday (and  weren't  too  interested  in 
shooting  the  .45  matches)  so  it  dropped 
their  small  caliber  scores.  The  Oakland 
Club  officials  realized  their  mistake  on 
this  one  and  promise  to  hold  only  .45 
matches  on  Saturday.  It  was  really  a 
work-out  for  the  group  in  the  statistical 
office  and  a  tip  o'  the  hat  to  all  of  them 
for  their  speedy  and  efficient  work.  Bert 
Flager,  Claude  and  IMiriam  Brown,  Bill 
and  Dot  Archer,  Al  and  Ann  Drasky 
make  up  this  group — and  a  fine  group 
it  is.  The  statistical  office  group  were 
not  the  only  faniilies  on  the  lot  as  there 
were  many  kids,  dogs,  mamas  and  papas 
running  all  over  the  place  finding  a  good 
spot  for  that  noontime  snack  for  the  200 
or  more  shooters.  The  aggregate  trophies 
were  donated  by  Clarence  Boles,  Merv 
Given,  the  Oakland  Pistol  Club  and  the 
AVestern  Revolver  Association  with  the 
top  aggregate  trophy  being  given  by  the 
San  Francisco  Emporium. 

A  new  team  showed  up  on  the  range 
from  the  California  Fish  &  Game  Com- 
mission being  detailed  there  for  their 
first  competitive  match  and  a  letter  from 
the  team  captain  read  as  follows:  "En- 
closed is  a  snapshot  of  the  F.  &  G.  Pistol 
Team  which  competed  in  the  Western 
Revolver  Club  matches  at  Oakland  on 
Tune  6.  From  left  to  right — standing — 
Warden  E.  C.  Fullerton,  Ass't.  Chief 
Leslie  Lahr  and  Ass't.  Chief  William 
LaMarr  —  kneeling  are  Warden  Will 
Payne  and  Capt.  Don  Davidson."  Then 
he  goes  on  with  a  few  other  matters  and 
winds  up  the  letter  with  "This  is  a 
'baby'  team,  having  previously  competed 
in  but  one  match  at  Stockton  in  May 
of  this  year.  We  have  not  walked  off 
with  any  prizes  so  far,  but  with  a  few 
more  competitive  matches  under  our 
belts  we  expect  to  overcome  the  'buck' 
and  give  the  boys  some  serious  competi- 
tion." Signed  by  Don  Davison,  Patrol 
Captain.  ^Ve  sincerely  hope  that  the 
Fish  &  Game  Commission  continue  their 
policy  of  sending  this  team  to  other 
matches  as  they  are  a  fine  looking  bunch

of  men  and  do  credit  to  our  State  Fish 
&  Game  Commission. 

It  has  always  struck  me  as  very  funny 
how  the  American  personage  of  both 
sexes  and  all  ages  delights  in  stuffing 
their  faces.  No  matter  where  you  go — a 
circus,  the  movies,  pistol  matches  —  it's 
always  the  same.  "Feeding  the  face"  is 
the  greatest  American  pastime  that  I 
know  of  and  has  stamp  collecting  backed 
off  the  boards  for  a  hobby.  I  delight  in 
the  gastronomic  hobby  myself  (as  my 
hefty  poundage  will  attest)  which  brings 
to  mind  that  Sunday  I  saw  that  big 
(and  I  mean  275  pounds  of  him)  good- 
hearted  Gus  Corneer  giving  all  the  little 
kids  nickels  and  dimes  to  buy  soda  and 
ice  cream.  Gus  says  he  intends  to  reduce 
but  finds  it  kinda  difficult  due  to  so 
many  functions  that  have  food  for  their 
main   course. 

After  an  absence  of  12  years  from  our 
range  the  first  cop  from  the  Richmond 
Police  Force  shows  up  at  the  Sunday 
matches  and  damned  if  I  didn't  miss 
the  guy's  name.  That  just  shows  you 
the  type  of  reporting  one  gets  now-a- 
days — most   unreliable. 

Then  we  have  the  sad,  sad  tale  of  Rill 
Casey  from  the  Sheriff's  Office,  Mineral 
County,  Nev.,  who  loudly  squawks  be- 
cause nothing  is  ever  mentioned  in  this 
column  about  his  coming  to  the  matches. 
Let  it  be  hereby  said  that  now  we  can 
say  it:  "Bill  Casey,  from  the  Sheriff's 
Office  in  Mineral  County,  Nev.,  was  in 
attendance  at  the  matches  Saturday  and 
Sunday." 

'I'oung  John  Faletti  grabs  two  medals 
for  himself  and  was  kidded  into  wearing 
them  during  the  matches  under  the  sad 
story  that  any  first  medal  won  by  a  com- 
petitor must  be  worn  on  his  jacket  for 
the  duration  of  the  matches.  \'oung  John 
didn't  need  much  coaxing  for  that  task 
and  for  the  remainder  of  the  day  was 
proudly  wearing  his  hardware  on  his 
manly  (?)  bosom. 

Capt.  Jacobs,  Ken  Kolb  and  Chuck 
Young,  of  the  California  Highway  Pa- 
trol have  opened  classes  for  the  younger 
shooters  up  around  their  section  of  the 
country  in  compliance  with  the  new  state 
law  required  all  boys  under  15  to  have 
a  certificate  from  a  qualified  instructor 
before  he  is  issued  a  hunting  license. 

In  order  to  facilitate  matters  and  re- 
duce statistics  to  an  absolute  minimum 
I  will  give  you  the  scores  of  the  final 
day's  shoot — in  other  words,  the  aggre- 
gate winners.

August  8th,  '54,  as  you  probably 
know,  the  monthly  matches  were  held 
at  the  Oakland  range  and  in  spite  of 
the  opening  of  the  door  season  on  Sat- 
urday there  were  still  some  180  shooters 
interested  enuf  in  targets  to  show  up 
for  the  shoot  —  plus  families  and  dogs. 
V^ern  Clayton  was  on  the  range  bright 
and  early,  claiming  he  got  his  deer  Sat- 
urday after  about  two  hours'  hunting. 
Believe  it  or  not — that's  wot  the  man 
said.  Many  of  the  regulars  were  absent 
and  no  doubt  at  the  next  match  we'll 
hear  all  about  the  door  hunting  and 
their  graphic  narrations  of  the  big  one 
they  shot — and  possibly  got  away.  And, 
of  course,  I  couldn't  pass  up  the  alibis 
for  the  day  with  Ed  Kligerman  claim- 
ing his  scores  suffered  because  all  his 
teeth  were  taken  out  the  day  before. 
Maybe  there's  a  good  joke  to  be  made 
out  of  that  one,  but  damned  if  I  can 
think  of  one.  Can  you?  Next  came  Park 
Smith  with  the  old  one  of  "trying  out 
his  new  grips"  and  one  gent  confided  his 
wife  was  expecting  any  moment  and  he 
was  "a  little  nervous"  because  she  was 
home  alone.  On  that  I  refrain  from  ain- 
comment. 

But  Charley  Payne  really  had  an  alibi 
and  it's  happened  to  many  of  us  shooters 
and  will  continue  to  happen  as  long  as 
people  shoot  at  targets.  In  the  slow- 
string  of  the  Camp  Perry  match  Char- 
ley is  quite  at  ease  with  the  first  nine 
shots  and  hasn't  the  remotest  idea  what 
his  score  looks  like  so  decides  to  take 
a  look  through  his  telescope  and  give 
a  quick  check.    Ye  Gods!!    Nine   lO's.

"Oh,  no!"  bellowed  Charles  and  takes 
another  gander  to  make  sure  his  'scope 
is  on  his  target  and  sure  enuf  its  nine 
lO's  and  Charley's  first  good  score  since 
he  started  shooting.  Now  that's  Char- 
ley's and  of  course  you  know  that  from 
then  on  he  wasn't  worth  nuttin'.  He 
became  so  flustered  his  ne.xt  shot  missed 
the  target  altogether.  It's  a  sad  story, 
mates,  but  it  happens  at  nearly  every 
match.  And  I  speak  from  experience. 

When  they  told  Reid  Wilson  he  had 
been  pushed  up  to  the  Expert  class  due 
to  his  good  shooting  lately  he  nearly 
went  nuts  but  in  that  class  he  didn't  do 
too  badly.  Maybe  when  he  gets  over  the 
shock  of  the  promotion  his  scores  will 
be    better. 

Received  a  letter  from  Sim  Reinhard, 
our  Redwood  City  jeweler  and  I  would 
like  to  give  the  whole  contents  as  it's 
self-explanatory.  "After  again  winning 
the  cap  'n'  ball  match  yesterday,  it  oc- 
curred to  me  that  credit  should  be  given 
where  credit  is  due,  and  I  want  to  thank 
the  host  of  shooters  who  helped  me  win. 
Such  sportsmanship  should  not  go  un- 
heeded. ( In  what  other  sport  would  you 
find  the  following?)  I  had  fired  the  cap 
and  ball  match  with  the  exception  of  the 
last  shot,  when  the  hammer  mainspring 
broke,  leaving  me  unable  to  continue. 
Immediately,  the  shooter  on  my  left, 
who  had  just  completed  firing,  offered 
and  commenced  disassembling  his  gun 
to  get  the  spring  out  for  my  gun  so  that 
I  could  fire  the  last  shot.  The  rest  of 
cap  and  ball  shooters  crowded  around 
offering  mainsprings  by  the  dozen.  In 
the  meantime  we  succeeded  in  getting 
the  first  spring  into  my  gun  and  I  pro- 
ceeded to  fire  the  last  shot  which,  in 
spite  of  the  excitement,  turned  out  to  be 
a  good  10  —  thus  winning  the  match. 
Now  I  ask  you,  Ross,  in  what  other 
sport  would  you  find  another  bunch  of 
fellows  that  would  help  a  guy  win  a 
match?"  It  is  quite  a  story  and  very  true 
for  I  witnessed  the  whole  affair  and 
when  I  consider  there  are  only  10  or  12 
shooters  in  the  cap  and  ball  match  it  is 
all  the  more  remarkable  as  each  and 
every  one  of  them  is  out  to  win  that 
match. 

For  some  time  now,  John  Faletti  has 
been  teaching  his  son,  John  Jr.,  how  to 
shoot  and  the  boy  is  doing  nicely  and 
already  has  a  couple  of  medals  for  his 
collection.  Pop  has  been  laying  off  shoot- 
ing thinking  maybe  the  kid  would  get 
hot  and  show  him  up  so  wisely  decided 
to  quit.  Siniday  he  got  the  bug,  and  in 
the  slow  fire  string  of  the  Camp  Perr\' 
match  shot  himself  a  nice  possible  which 
target  he  had  everybody  sign — including 
the  son.  Things  are  bright  again  around 
the  Faletti  mansion  and  pop  can  get  on

the  line  once  more,  for  with  a  possible 
under  his  belt,  the  kid  will  have  to  crack. 
a  world's  record  now  to  stop  the  old 
man's    boasting. 

The  bo3S  from  Sacramento  were  not 
with  us  Sunday  as  they  were  celebrating 
their  victory  in  the  U.  S.  Revolver  Asso- 
ciation postal  matches.  The  Sacramento 
boys  romped  oH  with  more  than  their 
share  of  medals  and  honors,  but  then 
they  seem  to  do  it  every  year.  It's  quite 
a  victory,  though,  especially  when  you 
compete  against  the  whole  United  States 
membership. 

As  you  know,  Pop  Dutil  has  decided 
to  leave  active  police  work  and  is  on  re- 
tirement, so  the  running  of  the  range 
will  be  under  the  direction  of  Jim  Mar- 
tin— an  up  and  coming  range  master. 
Before  joining  the  police  force,  Jim 
made  his  bread  and  butter  as  an  electri- 
cian but  decided  police  work  was  just 
as  shocking  as  electricity  so  joined  the 
force  in  October  of  1948.  This  was 
after  his  discharge  from  the  SEABEES 
with  18  months  overseas  duty  under  his 
belt  as  an  electrician  first  class.  Jim  came 
to  the  range  in  September  of  '49,  work- 
ing in  the  pits,  pasting  targets,  scoring 
and  keeping  targets  in  repair.  Then  he 
was  put  in  the  tower,  relieving  in  the 
office  and  on  the  lines  as  well  as  repair- 
ing department  firearms  and  reloading 
ammo.  All  this  stood  Jim  in  good  stead 
for  when  the  competitive  examination 
for  Rangemaster  was  held,  this  knowl- 
edge placed  him  number  one  on  the  list 
and  as  soon  as  Pop  left  the  range  Jim 
took  over.  Jim  is  a  sort  of  an  amiable 
kind  of  a  guy  and  should  get  along  well 
with  the  shooters  when  the  range  opens 
again  next  year  for  civilian  shooting. 
While  still  new  to  shooting  by  the  time 
July,  1955,  rolls  around,  he  should  be 
in  a  very  good  spot  to  see  that  the  range 
and  the  matches  go  along  as  smoothly  as 
in  the  past.  I  know  the  target  plunkers 
will  like  Jim  because  Jim  likes  the  target 
shooters. 

For  quite  some  time  now  there  have 
been  no  shooters  from  the  Richmond 
police  department  on  our  range  due  to, 
I  understand,  the  city  fathers  in  Rich- 
mond are  not  shooting  -  minded.  How- 
ever, Sunday  Jim  Conn,  Bert  Kistler, 
Tom  Brazovich  and  Roy  Jeoppard,  of 
that  department,  showed  up  at  the  range 
and  signed  on  as  a  team.  While  they 
didn't  finish  in  first  place,  it  was  nice  to 
see  the  team  with  us  and  we  hope  that 
they  will  be  detailed  to  every  match. 

AVhile  on  the  subject  of  teams,  the 
gang  has  asked  me  what  has  become  of 
that  good  U.  S.  Marine  Corps  team  that 
was  with  us  so  long?  You  ex-servicemen 
know  how  those  things  are.  You  get 
things  organized  nicely  and  start  to  do

cars  run  relays  to  the  county  jail  in 
nearby  Santa  Rosa.  No  prisoner  is  kept

Chief  Ellis  and  his  force  have  an 
excellent  enforcement  record.  Juvenile 
crime  has  been  held  to  a  minimum 
within  the  city  and  almost  all  other 
criminal  who  operate  within  the  city 
are  caught  before  they  get  well  started. 

The  chief's  career  started  in  1929 
as  a  member  of  the  Sonoma  County 
Sheriff's  office.  After  thirteen  years  of 
service  thre  Ellis  took  a  job  with  the 
Santa  Rosa  Police  Department  for  five 
years. 

The  chief  is  a  lifetime  resident  of 
Sonoma  County.  His  family  settled

wagons  crawled  across  the  Indian-in-

MARKET   STREET   MURDER 
Br  AValter  R.  Hecox 

Aside  fitKn  watching  carefully  for  any 
miscues  by  the  lumbering,  antique  trams 
of  the  ^llunicipal  Railway  that  rumbled 
and  rattled  erratically  to  and  from  town. 
Joseph  Klein  had  little  thought  of  dan- 
ger as  he  crossed  ilarket  Street  toward 
his  used  care  lot  on  the  aftemocm  of 
Sepcendiet  5,  1946. 

It  was  2-35  p-m..  and  as  quiet  an 
afternoon  as  the  ancient  streetcars  and 
pasgng  traffic  would  allow.  Across  the 
street  the  salesman  could  see  sis  cus- 
tomers awaiting  his  return  to  the  lot. 
He  dodged  past  one  of  the  city's  rolling 
relics,  sti^iped  to  let  another  sway  past. 
walked  on  when  a  third  sta^ered  to 
a  grinding,  squealing  stop,  then  sprinted 
to  the  sidewalk  where  he  mopped  the 
perspiration  from  his  brow,  breathed  a 
sigh  of  relief,  and  proceeded  toward  the 
safety  of  his  office,  convinced  that  one 
trip  a  day  across  San  Francisco's  main 
artery  was  more  than  any  man  should 
have  to  face. 

iCein  glanced  at  the  lot  and  frowned 
angrily.  Four  of  his  custmners.  all  in 
the  uniform  of  Navy  enlisted  men.  had 
left  and  were  walking  up  Market  Street 
toward  another  lot.  But  the  departed 
'^aflors  did  not  botlier  him  long.  Lsed 
cars  were  easy  to  sell  and  hard  to  buy 
and  other  customers  wtmld  show  up.  In 
fact  there  were  two  people  still  in  the 
lot. 

The  salesman  sized  them  up.  They 
were  tou^  and  weather  beaten.  raiKh 
workers  or  outdoor  laborers,  from  the 
appearance  of  their  hands  and  rough, 
wind-bumed  OHnidexioiis.  They  were 
young  men.  powerfully  built  and  sul- 
len-appearing. Klein  sighed.  They 
would  probably  want  a  bargain,  and  if 
they  had  any  kind  of  car  to  trade  in 
they  would  probably  get  one.  As  he  en- 
tered the  office  they  sauntered  toward 
the  door.  King  Beeler,  the  bookkeeper, 
greeted   him. 

"Some  fellows  waiting  for  you  out- 
side." Beeler  said.  "They  like  the  look? 
of  that  Buick.  but  say  they  have  a  Ford 
to  turn  in  that  needs  some  motor  work. 
I  told  them  they'd  have  to  see  you." 

Klein  nodded.  So  that  was  the  wa> 
it  was.  A  horse  trade,  and  with  a  couple 
of  fellows  who  looked  like  they  knew 
their  business.  He  shrugged.  He  did  not 
get  the  short  end  of  many  horse  trades 
himself.  The  two  men  entered.  As  the> 
came  in  Klein  decided  the  older  man 
would  be  his  problem.  He  was  about 
thirty-five,  handsome,  and  shrewd  look- 
ing. The  younger  one  would  look  to 
him  for  guidance.

"See  an>"thing  you  like,  gentlemen  ?  ' 
he  asked,  motioning  toward  the  lot. 

The  old  man  nodded.  "We  like  the 
Buick,  but  I'd  have  to  get  a  decent 
deal  on  my  car  It  needs  a  little  work 
on  the  motor,  but  it's  clean  and  other- 
wise in  good  condition." 

"Before  we  go  into  that,  I'd  like  to 
see  your  car.  Probably  .  .  .''  Klein 
stopped  talking  abruptly  and  stared  in- 
credulously at  the  two  men.  The  older 
one  had  drawn  a  .38  caliber  revolver 
and  stood  tensely  before  him,  the  gun 
leveled  at  his  head.  Simultaneously  the 
younger  man  drew  a  .45  automatic  and 
held  it  over  him  menacingly. 

"And  we'd  like  to  see  your  money,  " 
one  of  the  bandits  muttered.  "Put  up 
your  hands.  This  is  a  stickup.' 

At  his  desk  in  the  corner  of  the  tiny 
office,  King  Beeler  whirled  around.  The 
bandits  turned  on  him. 

"Sit  still,  you  I"  they  warned.  "Or 
we'll  blow  your  head  off." 

While  the  bandits  were  temporarily 
distracted,  Joseph  Klein  saw  his  chance. 
Desperately  he  lunged  forward,  grasp- 
ing frantically  at  the  older  man's  gun. 
As  though  warned  by  some  sixth  sense 
the  bandit  turned  a  fraction  of  a  second 
too  soon.  His  gun  roared. 

The  salesman  staggered  back.  A  look 
of  anguish  and  anger  spread  over  his 
face  and  a  crimson  duid  seeped  slowly 
through  his  shirt.  Briedy  he  leaned 
against  the  desk,  swaying  slightly,  then 
lurched  forward.  The  bandit  s  gan  roared 
again,  but  the  wounded  man  came  on. 
A  third  shot  was  fired,  and  then  a  fourth. 
Joseph  Klein  slumped  to  the  door. 

From  his  station  at  Beelers  desk,  the 
second  bandit  shouted  angrily:  '"Wliat 
did  you  do  that  for.'" 

"Never  mind  that  now,  "  his  compan- 
ion responded.  "I  had  to.  Get  the  dough 
and  let's  get  out  of  here.  It's  a  cinch 
somebody  heard  those  shots.  '  He  glanced 
at  Beeler.  "Lay  do%vn  on  the  floor,  you." 

Warned  by  the  fate  of  his  fellow 
worker,  the  bookkeeper  obeyed.  He 
watched  the  two  men  move  toward  the 
cash  box.  Outside  he  heard  the  sound 
of  footsteps  on  the  gravel  lot.  The  ban- 
dits  paused. 

"Someone  is  coming,  "  the  young  one 
whispered.     Let's  get  out  of  here.  " 

Without  talking  further  the  pair  gave 
up  their  search  for  money  and  ran  from 
the  ofice.  As  they  sprinted  toward  Mar- 
ket Street.  Marvin  Eteckstedt.  a  mechanic 
who  had  been  working  in  the  rear  of 
the  lot,  saw  them  leave  and  hurried  into 
the  office. 

"Joe,"  he  called.  "I  thought  I  heard 
a  gun  go  off.  It  didn't  sound  like  back-

keeper, was  reaching  for  the  telephone. 
His  face  was  pale  and  he  was  trembling 
slightly. 

"There's  no  use  trying  to  talk  to  Joe," 
he  told  the  mechanic.  "Look  behind  the 
desk." 

Beckstedt  stepped  forward  and  stared 
at  the  floor.  Lying  before  him  was  the 
corpse  of  the  man  he  had  thought  he 
was  talking  to.  The  bandit's  fourth  shot 
had  hit  Joseph  Klein  directly  between 
the  eyes  and  he  had  died  instantly. 
Beeler  dialed  the  operator  and  asked  for 
the    police    department. 

"This  is  the  bookkeeper  at  I6l7  Mar- 
ket Street.  The  used  car  lot.  You  had 
better  send  an  ambulance  and  a  police- 
man right  away.  A  man  has  just  been 
murdered  here."  Thoroughly  shaken  and 
dazed,  King  Beeler  cradled  the  receiver 
and  walked  unsteadily  from  the  office, 
keeping  his  eyes  carefully  away  from  the 
blood-stained  body  on  the  floor.  Beck- 
stedt followed  him.  The  two  men  leaned 
against  the  fender  of  a  nearby  car  and 
placed  cigarettes  between  trembling  lips. 

As  they  did  so,  two  other  men,  equally 
shaken,  jumped  into  a  Ford  coupe 
parked  three  blocks  away  on  Crocker 
Street.  Without  a  word  they  drove  east 
on  Crocker  Street  and  then  South  on 
Otis.  Not  until  they  put  several  miles 
between  them  and  Market  Street  did 
one  of  them  speak. 

"I  think  we  made  it  all  right.  No- 
body  followed   us." 

His  companion  nodded.  "I  guess  they 
thought  it  was  just  a  car  backfiring." 

At  Central  Emergency  Hospital, 
Steward  Eugene  Howard  and  driver 
Jack  Lennon  leaped  into  their  ambu- 
lance and  rolled  toward  Market  Street. 
The  deep-throated  roar  of  their  siren 
sent  trafl^c  scuttling  to  the  curbs  as 
they  threaded  their  way  down  "Van  Ness 
Avenue  toward  Market  Street.  Rack 
at  the  hospital  a  young  photographer 
grabbed  his  camera  and  ran  toward  his 
automobile.  "Hurry  up.  Hank,"  he 
called  to  a  heavy  set,  fair-haired  camera 
man. 

"Why  hurry?"  the  veteran  respond- 
ed. "If  it's  a  phony,  there's  no  rush. 
If  it  is  murder  it  will  wait.  Murder 
always    waits." 

Officer  ^Villiam  Sweeney  flipped  open 
the  key  to  the  radio  transmitter  at  the 
Bureau  of  Communications  in  the  Hall 
of  Justice.  "Mission  one  and  tu'o,"  he 
said  in  a  concise  monotone.  "  Fhe  used 
car  lot  at  1617  Market  Street.  A  shoot- 
ing. Possible  murder."  He  repeated  the 
call,    waited    for   confirmation,    then

picked    up    the    telephone    at    his    side. 

"Give  me  the  press  room,"  he  re- 
quested. Then:  'This  is  Sweeney  in 
Communications.  There's  a  guy  that 
says  there's  been  a  murder  at  1617 
Alarket  Street.  That's  all  1  biow."  He 
hung  up  and  turned  his  attention  back 
to  the  board  in  front  of  him.  Ofl&cer 
Gil  Dowd  had  illuminated  the  two  lit- 
tle red  lights  that  indicated  Mission 
one  and  two  were  out  of  service. 

Above  them,  in  room  217,  four  men 
reached  for  telephones  simultaneously. 
Their  conversations  were  brief  and  iden- 
tical. "There's  been  a  shooting  reported 
at  1617  Market  Street.  Maybe  mur- 
der. I'll  call  you  when  1  get  more  dope." 

The  ambulance  from  Central  Emer- 
gency arrived  at  the  lot  and  found  a 
small  crowd  of  curious  passersby  had 
already  gathered.  Officer  Frank  Blen- 
non,  from  Mission  Station,  the  patrol- 
man on  the  beat,  was  already  on  the 
scene,  trying  to  talk  to  Beeler  and  Beck- 
stedt  and  handle  the  crowd  at  the  scene. 
In  the  background  the  shrill  wail  of 
police  sirens  indicated  that  re-enforce- 
ments were  coming  to  the  overburdened 
officer's    aid. 

Lennon  parked  the  ambulance  as  close 
to  the  office  as  possible  and  Howard 
leaped  out  the  rear,  carrying  a  stretcher. 
With  the  driver  he  pushed  his  way  past 
the  crowd  into  the  office.  He  bent  over 
the  inert  figure  by  the  desk.  The  bullet 
hole  in  the  forehead  caught  his  eye. 

"Not  much  question  about  this,"  he 
remarked.  "But  I  might  as  well  make 
it  official."  He  reached  for  the  dead 
man's    wrist. 

A  boy  in  his  early  teens  pushed  his 
way  through  the  crowd.  Seeing  How- 
ard's uniform  he  ran  to  his  side  and 
laid   his   hand  on  the  steward's  arm. 

"Hey,  officer,"  he  said,  but  before  he 
could  go  on   Howard  interrupted  him. 

"Get  back  where  you  belong.  Can't 
you  see  I'm  busy." 

The  boy  fell  back  into  the  crowd 
wearing  a  crestfallen  expression.  How- 
ard returned  his  attention  to  the  body 
on  the  floor,  concentrating  every  effort 
in  an  attempt  to  find  a  pulse.  Once 
again  the  youngster  broke  away  from 
the   crowd. 

"Officer,  I  just  gotta  .  .  ."  once  again 
Howard  cut  him  short. 

"Listen,  kid,  this  is  serious.  This  man 
is  dead.  You  don't  belong  here,  and 
you  shouldn't  be  seeing  anything  like 
this  anyway.  Now  go  away  before  I 
turn  you  over  to  the  police."  Howard 
turned  away  once  more.  LTsing  the  ut- 
most care,  so  as  not  to  disturb  the 
position  of  the  body,  he  began  search- 
ing for  additional  wounds.  He  did  not

notice  that  the  50ungster  at  his  side 
had  stubbornh'  refused  to  move.  The 
boy  opened  his  mouth,  closed  it,  then 
tried    again. 

"I    know    who    did    it!"    he    blurted. 

"What?"  Howard,  Lennon  and  Blen- 
non   all  whirled   around   at  once. 

"I  saw  them  run  away.  I  got  their 
license  number,"   the  boy  told  them. 

The  hospital  steward  stared  at  him. 
"Kid,  I  don't  know  how  much  you 
know,  but  if  you  help  at  all,  I  apolo- 
gize.  Now  tell   it  to  the  police." 

"What  was  the  license  number,  kid  ?" 
Glennan    asked. 

"6  G  9023.  It  was  a  dark  blue  Ford 
coupe,"    the   boy   told   him. 

"Thanks,  son.  Now  I  haven't  got 
time  to  talk  to  you  right  this  minute, 
but  I  want  you  to  wait  here.  I've  got 
to  get  that  number  on  the  air.  A  lot 
of  people  are  going  to  want  to  talk 
to   you    in   a   little  while." 

The  officer  reached  for  the  telephone 
just  as  the  first  of  the  two  Mission  cars 
arrived.  The  officers  turned  their  atten- 
tion to  dispersing  the  crowd.  Glennan 
dialed  police  headquarters  and  asked  for 
the  Bureau  of  Inspectors.  Lieutenant 
Ed    Hippley   answered   the   call. 

"This  is  murder  at  1617  Market 
Street,  all  right,"  Glennan  announced. 
"Two  guys  came  in  and  tried  to  stick 
the  place  up  and  when  the  salesman 
resisted  they  plugged  him.  I've  got  a 
license  number."  I'he  officer  gave  what 
little  description  he  had  been  able  to 
get  from  Beeler  to  the  Lieutenant  and 
added  the  license  number  of  the  blue 
coupe. 

"I  don't  know  how  good  that  num- 
ber is,"  he  told  Hippley.  "A  kid  ga\e 
it  to  me.  But  there  is  no  harm  in  trying." 

The  Lieutenant  replaced  the  receiver 
on  the  hook  and  wrote  briefly.  He  shoved 
a  form  through  a  small  panel  beside 
his  desk,  then  held  it  open  while  he 
talked   to   the  man  at   the  board. 

"Get  that  on  the  air  right  away, 
Sweeney,"  he  ordered.  "Maybe  we  can 
get  those  guys  before  they  get  started." 
He  turned  to  Inspector  Jerry  Desmond. 

"Call  Dan  McKlem  up  in  the  Rob- 
bery Detail.  Tell  him  that  was  a  stickup 
on  Market  Street,"  he  ordered,  picking 
up  his  own  phone.  "Give  me  Al  Cor- 
rasa   in   Homicide." 

A  few  moments  later  Inspector  Al- 
vin  C.  Corrasa,  head  of  the  Homicide 
Detail  and  ace  detective,  together  with 
Inspectors  Max  Reznik  and  George 
"Paddy"  Wafer  who  had  been  as- 
signed to  the  case  by  Lieutenant  Dan 
McKlem  of  the  Robbery  Detail,  sped 
from  the  Hall  of  Justice  to  the  scene 
of   the   murder.

There  they  found  the  emergency  am- 
bulance replaced  by  the  coroner's  wagon. 
Deputy  Coroner  Ray  Brooks  was  wait- 
ing patiently  by  the  body  for  the  arrival 
of  Inspector  Gerald  C.  Fennell,  police 
photographer. 

"Nothing  much  has  been  moved,"  he 
told  the  inspectors.  "I  found  four  bullet 
holes.  Three  in  the  body  and  one  in 
the  forehead.  The  one  in  the  forehead 
knocked  him  off,  although  any  of  the 
three  in  the  torso  could  have  later.  It 
will  take  an  autopsy  to  tell." 

"Any  idea  what  caliber  gun,"  Cor- 
rasa    inquired. 

"I'd  say  it  was  a  thirty-eight  or  a 
forty-five.  It  was  a  big  gun."  Brooks 
indicated  Beeler  who  stood,  still  trem- 
bling, just  outside  the  door.  "He  says 
it  looked  like  a  thirty-eight,  and  he 
ought  to  know." 

Corrasa  took  the  witnesses  aside  and 
questioned  them  separately  while  Rez- 
nik  and  Wafer  searched  the  scene  for 
clues.  From  Beeler  he  got  a  fair  de- 
scription  of   one  rnan. 

"He  was  about  five  feet  ten  inches, 
fairly  heavy  build,  and  had  red  hair," 
Beeler  told  him.  "He  had  a  fair  com- 
plexion, a  brown  sports  coat,  and  he 
had  been  drinking.  I  could  smell  liquor 
on    his   breath." 

Beeler  was  so  upset  he  could  not 
give  an  adequate  description  of  the  sec- 
ond bandit.  Beckstedt,  who  had  caught 
only  a  fleeting  glimpse  of  the  gunmen, 
could  tell  only  that  they  wore  light 
gray  or  tan  hats. 

^Vhen  he  had  finished  questioning 
Beeler  and  Beckstedt,  Corrasa  turned 
to  Rodney  Smith,  the  boy  who  had  given 
Officer  Glennan  the  license  number  of 
the   escape  car. 

"They  were  about  22,  tall  and  wear- 
ing blue  suits  and  brown  hats,"  Smith 
told  him.  "They  passed  within  two  or 
three  feet  of  me." 

Corrasa  sighed.  "That's  the  way  it 
is  on  these  things.  Three  people  saw 
this  thing,  but  not  one  of  the  people 
saw  the  same  people  or  the  same  thing. 
Beeler,  you  said  they  were  here  for 
some  time,  can't  you  remember  any 
more?" 

The  bookkeeper  shook  his  head.  "I 
didn't  pay  any  attention.  Klein  handled 
the  customers.  They  were  out  in  the 
lot  most  of  the  time  talking  to  the 
four  sailors." 

"\Vhat  four  sailors?" 

"I  forgot  to  tell  you,"  Beeler  con- 
fessed. "There  were  four  sailors  here 
looking  at  another  car.  The  holdup  men 
talked  to  them  until  they  left.  I  guess 
thev  decided  they  didn't  want  the  car." 

Corrasa  nodded.  "Maybe  the  bandits

had  something  to  do  with  that.  They 
couldn't  pull  a  job  with  four  witnesses 
standing  by,  so  they  discouraged  them 
and  got  rid  of  them."  He  turned  to 
Ronald  Smith.  "Where  did  they  have 
their  car  parked?  On  Market  Street?" 

"No,  sir,"  the  boy  replied.  "On 
Crocker    Street." 

"Crocker    Street?" 

"That's  an  alley  about  three  and  a 
half  blocks  from  here,"  Officer  Glen- 
nan  offered.  "Most  people  don't  even 
know  its  name." 

"I  know  Crocker  Street,"  Corrasa 
told  him.  "But  how  did  this  fellow  see 
them  drive  away  in  a  car  parked  on 
Crocker  Street  if  he  saw  the  shooting 
here?" 

Glennan  frowned.  "How  about  it, 
kid?" 

"I   followed   them." 

Corrasa  grinned.  "Young  fellow, 
either  you  are  going  to  be  a  dream  wit- 
ness or  you're  kidding  us.  Which  is  it?" 

"I'm  not  fooling,"  the  youngster  an- 
swered. "I  heard  the  shots  in  the  office. 
I  knew  they  were  shots  because  I've 
been  with  my  brother  when  he  was  tar- 
get shooting,  so  I  figured  something  was 
wrong. 

"I  stood  right  by  the  gate  for  a  min- 
ute and  then  these  two  fellows  came 
running  out.  They  ran  as  fast  as  they 
could  to  the  gate  and  passed  within  a 
few  feet  of  me.  I  couldn't  forget  their 
faces.  I  thought  it  might  be  important 
.'^o  I  memorized  the  curves  and  angles 
of  their  features.  I  read  somewhere  that 
was  how  you   remembered  people. 

"After  they  got  out  of  the  lot  they 
started  to  walk  fast.  They  walked  up 
Market  Street  to  Brady.  When  I 
thought  they  were  a  safe  distance  away 
I  followed  them.  It  was  easy.  \Vhen 
they  got  to  Brady  they  started  to  trot 
again.  They  would  trot  for  a  while  and 
then  walk   fast. 

"They  ran  down  Brady  for  a  couple 
of  blocks  and  I  trotted  along  after  them. 
Then  they  turned  up  Crocker  Street. 
When  I  got  to  Crocker,  I  crossed  the 
street  slow.  About  half  way  up  the 
block  they  were  getting  into  this  Ford 
coupe.  I  didn't  have  anything  to  write 
on,  so  I  memorized  the  license  number. 
I'm  sure   I   got  the  right  number." 

"Didn't  they  see  you  following 
them?"   Corrasa  inquired. 

"They  looked  back  a  few  times,  but 
they  didn't  appear  to  notice  me,"  the 
boy  answered  calmly. 

The  Homicide  Inspector  glanced  at 
Glennan  and  whistled.  "You  know,  it 
had  to  be  a  boy.  A  man  couldn't  ha\e 
done  it."  He  turned  back  to  Ronald. 
"And  only  about  one  out  of  a  hundred 
would    have    acted    as    intelligently    as

\ou  did,  young  man.  When  we  catch 
these  fellows  we'll  have  a  lot  to  thank 
you    tor.  " 

The  boy  smiled  shyly,  basking  in  the 
famous  detective's  praise.  Corrasa  took 
his  name  and  address  and  sent  him 
home.  Then  he  entered  the  ofEce  where 
Reznik  and  Wafer  were  completing 
their   search. 

"Find   anything?"   he   inquired. 

Reznik  showed  him  four  empty  shell 
cartridges.  "Only  these.  We'll  find  the 
bullets  to  match  them  in  the  victim. 
At  least  we  know  now  the  gun  used 
was  a  thirty-eight  caliber.  The  slugs 
might    come    in    handy   later." 

"That's  right,"  Corrasa  agreed.  "We 
can  always  identify  the  gun  that  fired 
them  in  a  ballistics  test.  That  will  carry 
a  lot  of  weight  in  court.  A  good  de- 
fense attorney  can  make  eye  witnesses 
look  foolish  sometimes,  but  he  has  a 
rough    time    with    scientific    evidence." 

"Speaking  of  eye  witnesses,  did  you 
hear  an\thing  about  four  sailors  who 
were  in  the  lot  just  before  the  shoot- 
ing?" Reznik  inquired.  "They  could 
help   a    lot   with   identification." 

"Beeler  told  me  about  them,"  said 
Corrasa.  "1  hey  might  be  able  to  help 
a  good  deal,  if  we  can  find  them.  Appar- 
ently they  talked  to  these  fellows  for 
quite  some  time.  They  could  have 
dropped  some  clue  as  to  their  identity." 

"Maybe,"  AVafer  speculated.  "But 
it's  not  likely.  They  planned  this  thing 
and  they  weren't  going  to  give  them- 
selves away  like  that." 

"Under  the  circumstances  they'll 
help,"  Corrasa  insisted.  He  called  Glen- 
nan.  "You  heard  Beeler  speak  of  those 
four  sailors  that  were  here  just  before 
the  shooting.  Try  to  find  some  line  on 
them  while  you  are  patrolling  your  beat 
tonight.  There's  a  good  possibility  they 
stopped  somewhere  else  in  the  neigh- 
borhood where  they  were  known.  Mean- 
while, I'll  get  a  man  working  on  that 
angle." 

L'nder  the  supervision  of  the  three 
Inspectors  police  machinery  moved  into 
gear  smoothly.  At  Corrasa's  request  the 
bureau  of  communications  checked  the 
license  number  that  had  been  turned  in 
by  Ronald  Smith  with  the  "Hot"  files 
at  the  State  Department  of  Motor  Ve- 
hicles in  Sacramento.  There  was  no 
report  of  the  car  having  been  stolen 
thus  far.  It  was  registered  to  a  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  R.  E.  Ellis,  837  Kirkham 
Court,  Oakland,  and  was  a  1937  Ford 
Coupe. 

A  telephone  call  and  a  personal  check 
by  the  Oakland  police  department  re- 
vealed that  the  Ellis  family  was  not 
home  and  had  been  gone  all  day. 
^Vhether   the  car   had   been  stolen  and

the  theft  not  yet  discovered,  or  if  the 
registered  owners  were  in  some  wa\- 
connected  with  the  crime,  could  not  be 
determined  until  some  member  of  the 
family  was  located.  East  Bay  police 
pressed  an  unsuccessful  search  for  some 
member  of   the  Ellis  family. 

"It's  unlikely  that  they  had  anything 
to  do  with  it,"  Wafer  remarked.  "Al- 
most every  car  used  in  a  holdup  is  hot. 
However,  they  can  stand  a  check." 

A  state-wide  teletype  informed  police 
in  cities  along  the  highways  leading 
from  San  Francisco  of  the  crime  details 
and  description  of  the  bandits,  includ- 
ing the  license  number  which  Ronald 
Smith  had  spotted  on  the  escape  car. 
A  myriad  of  police  watched  the  six 
highways  leading  from  San  Francisco, 
and  the  metropolis  and  its  satellite  com- 
munities became  a  giant  web  in  which 
the  fleeing  bandits  would  become  en- 
meshed if  they  attempted  to  flee  from 
the  city.  A  web,  however,  with  many 
loopholes. 

The  bandits  could  desert  the  car  any- 
where in  San  Francisco,  steal  another, 
and  make  their  way  clear  of  the  nar- 
row peninsula  before  the  theft  was 
discovered.  They  could  catch  a  passen- 
ger-crowded commuter  train  and  ride 
undetected  to  San  Jose,  forty  miles 
south,  before  coming  to  a  major  stop. 
Or  they  could  seek  refuge  at  an  un- 
known hideout  within  the  city  itself. 
Another  and  sinister  method  of  escape 
was  left  to  them. 

"They  might  stick  to  that  car,"  Cor- 
rasa  remarked,  "and  try  to  shoot  their 
way  through  if  they  are  detected.  They 
parked  it  on  Crocker  Street,  three  blocks 
from  the  place  they  were  to  hold  up. 
They  must  have  done  that  to  avoid 
iust  what  happened.  And  they  don't 
know  what  did  happen.  If  they  did, 
Ronald  Smith  would  never  have  lived 
to  tell  us." 

The  homicide  inspector  glanced  at 
his  watch.  It  was  3:15  p.m.  About 
twenty  miles  to  the  south  Sergeant 
James  W .  Bedford,  Acting  Chief  of 
the  San  Bruno  Police  Department,  was 
driving  down  the  El  Camino  Real  on 
his  motorcycle.  Just  two  minutes  earlier 
he  had  read  the  teletype  sent  out  by 
the  San  Francisco  police.  His  old  friend. 
Sergeant  John  North,  had  accompanied 
him  to  the  motorcycle. 

"You  know,  the  Chief  shouldn't  be 
riding  a  thing  like  that,"  North  had 
told  him.  "Even  if  he  is  only  in  office 
temporarily  while  the  regular  man  is 
on    vacation. 

Sergeant  Bedford  smiled.  "I  need  it. 
I'm  going  out  and  round  up  those  fel- 
lows who  shot  the  guy  in  the  used  car 
lot.   Watch   me."

around  in  a  broad  U  turn,  and  rode 
north  for  a  few  blocks.  At  a  conve- 
nient sheltered  intersection  he  stopped 
and  sat  astride  the  machine,  watching 
the  steady  flow  of  traffic  on  the  broad 
highway   that   bisects  San   Bruno. 

After  twenty  years  on  the  San  Bruno 
police  department,  the  Sergeant  realizeii 
fully  that  his  chances  of  stopping  the 
Market  Street  bandits  were  slim.  But 
the  same  experience  that  told  him  that 
the  law  of  averages  was  not  in  his 
favor  made  him  aware  that  policemen 
must  follow  e\ery  lead  if  a  criminal  is 
going  to  be  brought  to  justice.  For  every 
clue  that  was  right  ten  would  be  wrong, 
but  it  was  worth  the  effort  if  a  killer 
was  placed  behind  bars.  The  Sergeant 
watched  the  speeding  cars  pass  him,  then 
slow  down,  and  grinned. 

They  would  not  have  lifted  their  feet 
from  the  throttle  if  they  had  known 
the  game  he  sought  was  wanted  for 
murder. 

A  Greyhound  bus  lumbered  into 
view,  sped  past  him  and  on  down  the 
highway,  a  light  coupe  following  close 
behind.  The  Sergeant  kicked  his  motor- 
cycle into  gear  and  threaded  his  way 
through  traffic  after  it.  It  was  a  1937 
Ford  coupe.  There  was  just  a  chance 
the  number  was  right. 

Before  he  \\2S  close  enough  to  read 
the  license  number,  the  officer  was  con- 
\inced  he  had  made  a  mistake.  Beyond 
a  doubt  the  driver  was  alone  in  the 
car.  He  was  driving  close  behind  the 
bus,  but  seemed  placidly  confident  that 
all  was  well  with  the  world  and  par- 
ticularly   himself. 

Sergeant  Bedford  narrowed  the  gap 
that  separated  them  and  glanced  at  the 
license.  There  was  no  sense  in  not  look- 
ing. His  pulse  quickened.  The  number 
checked.  It  was  identical  with  that 
broadcast  bj'  the  San  Francisco  police 
department.  The  officer's  mind  checked 
the  few  details  of  the  crime  as  they 
had   come  over  the  teletype. 

Two  men.  The  Sergeant  wondered 
what  he  could  do  if  he  was  one  of  a 
bandit  duo  who  had  just  committed  a 
murder  and  had  a  car  they  didn't  know 
was  hot.  The  logical  thing  was  to  sepa- 
rate, keep  the  car,  and  rejoin  forces 
when  they  were  a  safe  distance  from 
the   city. 

"One  of  them  is  in  the  car,  and  the 
other  in  the  bus,"  the  Sergeant  rea.- 
soned.  "I  can't  stop  both  of  them,  but  if 
we  get  one  we  can  stop  the  bus  further 
down  the  line.  Even  if  the  second  one 
gets  away,  we'll  know  who  he  is  and 
have  an  easy  enough  time  catching  him 
later."

Sergeant  Bedford  loosened  his  gun 
and  swung  out  beside  the  car.  He  mo- 
tioned it  over  to  the  curb,  smiling  to 
himself  as  he  did  so.  He  couldn't  think 
of  a  more  convenient  place  to  catch  a 
killer.  The  city  hall  was  less  than  half 
a  block  away,  and  directly  behind  it 
the  police  station. 

For  the  first  time,  the  driver  of  the 
car  looked  nervous.  He  glanced  at  Bed- 
ford grimly  and  the  car  picked  up  speed. 
The  officer  whipped  his  service  revolver 
into   view. 

"Get  over  to  the  curb  or  I'll  try 
this  on  you." 

The  driver  pulled  over.  Sergeant  Bed- 
ford stopped  a  safe  distance  behind  him 
and  approached  the  car  carefully.  His 
quarry  sat  docilely  in  the  front  seat. 

"Something  wrong,  officer?"  he  in- 
quired   innocently. 

"Either  that,  or  you're  in  the  wrong 
car,"  Bedford  replied.  "Get  out  of 
there  and  keep  your  hands  over  your 
head.   Don't  make  a  false  move." 

The  man  let  himself  out  of  the  car 
cautiously,  hands  raised.  Bedford 
searched  him  expertly,  pulling  a  thirty- 
eight  revolver  from  his  coat  pocket.  He 
stepped  back  and  held  the  barrel  to  his 
nose. 

"Burnt  powder.   Been   hunting?" 

"I'll  tell  you  about  that,"  his  pris- 
oner   replied. 

"At  the  station.  This  is  no  place  for 
it."  The  Sergeant  glanced  at  the  front 
seat.  To  all  appearances  it  was  empty. 
There  was  no  place  to  hide.  He  turned 
back   to   his   prisoner. 

"Get  around  in  back  of  the  car. 
Open    the    turtle    back." 

The  rear  of  the  car  was  as  empty  as 
the  front  seat.  Sergeant  Bedford  took 
his  man  to  the  station  silently,  and  left 
him  in  the  care  of  Officer  Edward  Doris. 

"Watch  him,"  he  warned  Doris. 
"He's  a  killer.  I'm  going  back  to  take 
care  of  that  car.  You  had  better  get 
someone  on  the  radio  and  have  that  bus 
stopped.  I'm  going  back  to  take  care 
of   the  car." 

Leaving  the  city  hall  the  Sergeant 
could  see  the  coupe  exactly  where  he 
had  left  it.  The  turtle  back  was  still 
wide  open.  He  approached  it  swiftly, 
but  slowed  as  he  drew  near.  There  was 
something  about  the  car.  A  strange 
chill  shook  the  officer's  240  pound  body. 
He  moved  forward  the  last  few  steps 
reluctantly.  A  distant  sense,  remote  and 
obscure,  told  him  something  was  wrong. 
For  a  moment  the  officer  stopped  and 
stood  staring  at  the  empty  automobile. 
Standing  there  in  the  warm  late  after- 
noon sunlight,  he  laughed  at  himself. 
An  officer  with  his  experience  had  no 
right  to  be  going  soft.  He  shook  off  the

mood  and  moved  on  briskly.  He  dropped 
the  turtle  back  into  place,  then  reached 
into  the  driver's  compartment  for  the 
keys. 

Again  the  spine  tingling  sensation  ran 
through  the  officer's  body.  Later  he  was 
unable  to  e.\plain  what  made  him  glance 
over  his  shoulder.  He  was  told  that  the 
movement  undoubtedly  saved  his  life. 

When  Sergeant  Bedford  glanced  into  ' 
the   rear  of   the   car,   he   found   himself 
staring  into  the  unwavering  muzzle  of 
a   forty-five  caliber  automatic  held  less 
than  six  inches  away  from  his  face. 

The  fraction  of  a  second  which  the 
police  sergeant  had  to  glance  at  the  gun 
was  infinitesimal.  Desperately  his  hand 
moved  toward  his  own  revolver,  but  it 
had  barely  moved  when  the  forty-five 
roared  angrily  and  sent  him  reeling 
backward. 

The  bullet  coursed  through  his  cheek 
and  out  the  neck,  sending  blood  gush- 
ing from  a  gaping  wound.  Unaware  that 
he  was  hit,  the  Sergeant  reached  for 
his  gun,  staggered,  lurched  toward  the 
rear  of  the  car  in  an  instinctive  efifort 
to  seek  cover,  and  spun  crazily  into 
the  middle  of  the  El  Camino  Real. 

Startled  motorists,  unaware  of  the 
roadside  drama,  veered  wide  and  cursed 
the  drunken  figure  that  reeled  across 
the  highway.  The  Sergeant  staggered 
back  toward  the  car,  spun  around  in 
two  complete  circles,  and  fell  to  the 
pavement,  still  trying  vainly  to  force 
his  right  hand  to  draw  the  gun  from 
its  holster.  The  motor  of  the  coupe 
roared  into  action  and  it  became  lost 
in   the  southbound   traffic. 

A  passing  truck  driver  noticed  the 
prostrate  figure  of  the  policeman, 
stopped  and  applied  pressure  to  the 
wound,  stopping  the  flow  of  blood.  An- 
other motorist  telephoned  for  ah  ambu- 
lance, and  soon  the  wounded  Sergeant 
was  speeding  to  the  Mills  Memorial 
Hospital. 

Word  that  the  popular  policeman  had 
been  wounded  passed  rapidly  through 
the  suburban  community  and  angry  citi- 
zens reported  at  police  headquarters, 
offering  to  assist  in  the  roundup  of  his 
assailant. 

The  driver  of  the  car,  questioned  by 
Sergeant  North,  identified  himself  as 
Edgar  M.  Ellis  and  said  that  two 
armed  men  had  made  him  their  pris- 
oner since  early  in  the  day.  He  said 
he  had  no  chance  to  warn  Sergeant 
Bedford  of  the  man  who  had  hidden 
himself  between  the  front  seat  and  the 
turtle   back. 

"If  1  had  said  anything  then,  I  would 
have  caught  that  bullet,"  he  said.  "Be- 
sides, the  Sergeant  wouldn't  let  me 
talk."

Unlikely  as  his  story  seemed  the  offi- 
cers were   unable   to   break  his  alibi. 

Word  of  the  shooting  in  San  Bruno 
reached  the  San  Francisco  police  via 
short  wave  radio.  Lieutenant  Dan  Mc- 
Klem  and  Inspectors  Corrasa,  Reznik, 
and   Wafer   held   a   hurried  conference. 

"He  won't  go  far  in  that  car  now," 
Corrasa  deduced.  "He'll  drop  it  at  the 
first  opportunity  and  you  can  bet  he'll 
stick   around   San   Bruno   for  a  while." 

"That's  right,"  Wafer  agreed.  "No 
matter  what  he  says,  I  think  this  fel- 
low Ellis  is  his  pal,  and  he'll  want 
to  know  what  happened  to  him.  He 
couldn't  be  too  smart  or  he  never 
would  have  waited  for  Bedford  to 
come  back." 

"I  can  give  you  some  help  and  let 
you  make  the  rounds  of  the  restau- 
rants and  bars  down  there,"  McKlem 
told  them.  "If  he  is  going  to  stick 
around  he'll  have  to  find  cover  some- 
where. ]\Iost  likely  it  will  be  in  a 
crowd." 

"I've  already  got  Lee  looking  for 
those  four  sailors,"  said  Corrasa.  "My 
detail  isn't  large  enough  to  put  any 
more  men  on  this  case." 

"I'll  give  you  Jack  O'Keefe,"  Mc- 
Klem told  him.  "You  and  Reznik  and 
Wafer  and  O'Keefe  can  go.  That  ought 
to  be  some  help  for  the  San  Bruno 
police." 

AVhen  the  four  inspectors  arrived  in 
San  Bruno,  they  found  the  San  Bruno 
department  already  bolstered  by  men 
from  the  San  Mateo  County  Sherift's 
office  and  from  the  California  State 
Highway  Patrol.  They  outlined  their 
plan    rapidly. 

"It  sounds  good  to  me,"  North  told 
them.  "But  there  is  one  thing  you  don't 
know.  We've  already  found  the  car. 
It  was  only  about  three  or  four  blocks 
from  the  scene  of  the  shooting  parked 
in   a  lot  next  to  a  grocery  store." 

The  officers  decided  to  inspect  the 
car  before  beginning  their  search,  mean- 
while leaving  Corrasa  behind  to  see  if 
he  could  find  a  flaw  in  the  story  of 
the  recalcitrant  Ellis.  While  Sergeant 
North,  Officer  Doris  and  Inspectors 
O'Keefe  and  Reznik  looked  over  the 
holdup  car,  Wafer  wandered  across  the 
street  to  Uncle  Tom's  Cabin,  popular 
suburban  night  club. 

Inside  he  glanced  around,  then  wan- 
dered to  the  bar  and  ordered  a  beer. 
Because  of  the  early  hour,  the  place 
was  practically  deserted.  Ceasar  Mar- 
tinelli,  owner  of  the  establishment, 
recognized  the  San  Francisco  policeman 
and  started  forward.  Wafer  motioned 
him  away,  then  walked  idly  toward  his 
office.  The  cafe  owner  followed  him 
silentlv.

With  the  door  safely  closed  behind 
them  Wafer  asked  a  question.  "Who 
is  the  man  in  work  clothes  in  the 
center  of  the  bar?" 

"I'm  glad  you  finally  came,"  Marti- 
nelli  told  him.  "I  didn't  know  whether 
to  call  you  or  not.  I  think  he's  the  man 
who  just  shot  Bedford." 

"What   makes   you    say   so?" 

"He  came  in  here  a  couple  of  hours 
ago.  About  the  time  of  the  shooting. 
After  a  few  drinks  he  asked  the  waiter 
for  a  table  inside.  He  wanted  a  table 
facing  the  door  and  looking  out  the 
windows.  He  said  his  wife  had  a  quar- 
rel with  him  and  might  come  here 
looking  for  him.  But  he  has  never  been 
here  before  in  his  life.  Nobody  knows 
him.  " 

"He  doesn't  look  right  here,"  AVafer 
agreed.  "It's  worth  looking  into.  Don't 
say  anything  and  I'll  be  back  with  help." 

The  officer  left  by  a  rear  entrance 
and  rejoined  his  companions  across  the 
street.  He  took  Sergeant  North  and 
O'Keefe  to  one  side  and  told  them 
what  he  had  discovered.  "It's  just  pos- 
sible  he   is  our  man,"   he  said. 

Splitting  into  two  pairs  the  officers 
entered  the  bar  and  ordered  drinks. 
The  man  at  the  center  of  the  bar 
watched  them  enter,  but,  seeing  no 
hostile  move,  returned  his  attention  to 
his  drink.  Wafer  sauntered  in  his  di- 
rection. 

"I'd  like  to  talk  to  you,"  he  said 
quietly. 

The  man  turned  angrily.  "AVhat 
for?" 

AVafer  produced  his  gold  badge.  "I'm 
an  inspector  from  the  San  Francisco 
police    department." 

With  catlike  speed  the  suspect's  hand 
flew  to  his  belt  and  came  up  holding 
a  forty-five  caliber  automatic  which  he 
leveled  against  AVafer's  stomach.  His 
finger  tightened  against  the  trigger 
when  a  crushing  blow  to  the  jaw  sent 
him  staggering  to  the  floor.  The  gun 
discharged  harmlessly  into  the  ceiling 
and   skittered   along  the  floor. 

Immediately   pandemonium   reigned. 

Inspector  O'Keefe  followed  the 
straight  right  hand  he  had  thrown  with 
a  flying  tackle.  The  frantic  fugitive 
struggled  desperately  and  regained  his 
feet. 

A  patron  grabbed  the  loose  gun  and 
passed  it  to  the  bartender  and  shouted : 
"Hide   this   and   call  the  cops!" 

"Those  aren't  boy  scouts,"  the  bar- 
tender ansvi-ered  tensely.  "Just  stay  out 
of  the  way." 

Wafer  followed  O'Keefe's  suit  and 
threw  straight  punches  at  the  fugi- 
tive's head.  Reznik  and  Sergeant  North

rushed  into  the  fray  and  attempted  to 
pinion  his  arms.  O'Keefe  stared  incred- 
ulously at  the  sharp  edge  of  a  bone 
that  protruded  through  the  raw  flesh 
of  his  hand. 

For  a  few  moments  the  desperate 
struggle  continued  while  the  killer  used 
maniacal  strength  to  fight  off  the  com- 
bined attempts  of  three  men  to  subdue 
him.  Gradually  he  tired,  his  tense  mus- 
cles relaxed,  and  a  straight  punch  from 
^Vafer  dropped  him  to  the  floor.  He 
stirred  and  attempted  to  rise,  but  be- 
fore he  was  capable  of  moving,  Reznik 
had   snapped    on    his   handcuffs. 

Transported  to  San  Francisco  sepa- 
rately the  two  men  stubbornly  refused 
to  talk.  Ellis  clung  to  the  story  that 
he  had  been  kidnapped,  while  the  sec- 
ond man,  who  was  identified  as  John 
Calvin  Defer,  denied  all  knowledge  of 
the  affair.  Hours  of  questioning  were 
of   no  avail. 

The  next  morning  the  grilling  con- 
tinued. Confronted  by  the  prisoners, 
King  Beeler,  the  bookeeper  at  the 
used  car  lot,  refused  to  make  positive 
identification. 

"I  don't  want  to  send  an  innocent 
man  to  the  gas  chamber,"  he  said  logi- 
cally. "I'd  rather  have  a  guilty  one 
go    free." 

Corrasa  played  his  trump  card.  He 
brought  Ronald  Smith  from  his  class- 
room. The  boy  was  confronted  by  De- 
fer. He  looked  at  the  young  bandit 
briefly. 

"That's  him.  I'll  never  forget  that 
one,"  he  told   Corrasa. 

Defer  shrugged.  He's  only  a  kid. 
What   good   will   his   testimony   be?" 

Confronted  by  Ellis  the  boy  said  he 
thought  he  recognized  him,  but  was 
not    sure. 

"Defer  was  right,"  Corrasa  said. 
"^Ve  have  got  to  have  more  identifi- 
cation." 

His  need  for  further  witnesses  was 
short  lived.  While  the  manhunt  in  San 
Bruno  had  been  taking  place,  Homi- 
cide Sergeant  Martin  Lee,  with  the 
help  of  Officer  Glennan,  was  making  a 
painstaking  canvas  of  the  area  surround- 
ing the  murder. 

Convinced  that  the  four  sailors  would 
look  into  the  used  car  lots,  Lee  con- 
centrated there.  His  deductions  proved 
correct.  At  ten  o'clock  the  day  after 
the  murder  Lee  found  a  used  car  lot 
where  Fire  Controlman  First  Class 
George  J.  Rabold  and  Machinist  Mate 
Third  Class  Owen  T.  Newman  had 
purchased  an  automobile.  Two  other 
sailors  had  been  with  them.  The  dealer 
consulted  his  files  and  found  the  name 
of   their  ship.

Lee  located  Rabold  and  discovered 
that  it  was  he  and  his  three  mates 
who  had  been  in  the  lot  at  1617  Mar- 
ket St.  He,  Newman,  and  their  com- 
panions. Machinist  First  Class  Louis 
Antenelli  and  Electrician  First  Class 
Carl  Maggard,  all  gladly  volunteered 
to    testify. 

First  Defer  and  then  Ellis  were  con- 
fronted by  the  sailors  one  at  a  time. 
All  positively  identified  them  as  being 
the  men  in  the  used  car  lot. 

Ellis  was  then  taken  to  his  cell  and 
Defer  kept  for  questioning. 

"You  can  see  it's  all  up,"  Corrasa 
told  him.  "\Vhy  don't  you  do  the  easy 
thing  and  confess?" 

"How  is  the  San  Bruno  cop?"  the 
young  bandit  asked. 

"He's  going  to  live." 

"OK.  Then  I'll  talk.  Ellis  and  I 
held  up  Klein  all  right.  But  Ellis  fired 
the  shot  that  killed  him." 

Corrasa    grinned.    "We    knew    that." 

"How?" 

"Ballistics.  The  bullets  taken  from 
Klein's   body   matched    Ellis'   gun." 

Convinced  that  his  case  was  hope- 
less Defer  dictated  a  full  confession 
and  signed  it.  Ellis  was  then  con- 
fronted with  the  confession,  plus  the 
e\idence    from    the    ballistics    test. 

"Give  me  a   night  to  think." 

Ellis  was  returned  to  his  cell.  The 
following  day  he  also  confessed,  his 
confession  almost  exactly  correspond- 
ing with  Defer's  except  for  minor  dis- 
crepancies. But  the  two  men  were  not 
through  with  their  struggle  for  free- 
dom. 

Frank  Hennesy,  an  able  San  Fran- 
cisco attorney,  was  retained  in  their 
defense  and  he  came  to  court  with  a 
bizarre  story  about  black  market  auto- 
mobiles and  killing  in  self-defense. 

Defer  and  Ellis  told  the  court  how 
they  had  purchased  a  car  at  black 
market  prices  from  the  dead  dealer  on 
June  7,  1946,  had  returned  because 
they  were  dissatisfied  with  the  deal,  and 
had  become  involved  in  an  argument 
with  him.  They  said  Klein  had  attacked 
them  with  murderous  intent  and  that 
Ellis  had  shot  out  of  necessity  in  self- 
defense.  The  three  additional  shots  they 
laid  to  fear.  The  jury  wavered  toward 
a  manslaughter  conviction.  The  two 
prisoners  claimed  that  a  receipt  had 
been  given  to  them  by  the  dead  man 
on  June  7,  and  that  they  had  lost  it 
and  its  duplicate  in  Klein's  file  had  been 
deliberately    destroyed. 

Corrasa  left  the  courtroom  and  con- 
ducted a  short,  unscheduled  investiga- 
tion. That  night  he  had  a  conference 
with   Assistant   District  Attorney    Tack

Eymaii  who  was  prosecuting  the  case. 
The  next  day  several  new  witnesses 
appeared  in  court. 

"AVhere  were  you  on  the  afternoon 
of  June  7,  1946?"  the  prosecutor  asked 
the  first  of  these  witnesses. 

"In  Yankee  Stadium,  in  New  York 
City." 

"At  a  ball  game?" 

"No.  A  fight.  Joe  Louis  and  Billy 
Conn  for  the  heavyweight  champion- 
ship of  the  world." 

"Did    you    know   Joseph    Klein?" 

"Yes." 

"Where  was  he  on  the  day  of  the 
Louis-Conn    fight?" 

"At    the    fight." 

Eyman  turned  to  the  court.  "I  can 
produce  a  hundred  such  witnesses, 
Your   Honor." 

Although  Hennesy  continued  to  fight, 
his  defense  fell  apart.  On  December  13, 
CALIFORNIA      1946,   the   pair  were   convicted   of   first 

degree    murder    and    on    December    20 

sentenced  to  life  in  San  Quentin  prison.

ALMOST   PERFECT   MURDER 

By  Jack  Coats 

(Reprinted  from  Texas  Police  Jourmd) 

In  the  early  morning  of  September  1, 
as  the  doleful  bells  of  the  Texas  State 
Prison  tolled  midnight,  Walter  E.  Whit- 
aker,  Jr.,  walked  calmly  to  his  death  in 
the  electric  chair  —  paying  the  supreme 
penalty  for  the  January,  1953,  strangula- 
tion slaying  of  Lubbock  schoolgirl  Joyce 
Fern    White. 

So  ended  one  of  the  strangest  murder 
cases  in  Texas  history. 

Joyce,  a  pretty  18-year-old  Lubbock 
High  School  senior,  mysteriously  disap- 
peared from  her  mother's  home  in  Lub- 
bock about  9  p.m.,  January  8,  1953. 

The  last  person  to  see  her  alive  was 
her  sweetheart  and  fiance,  Air  Force 
Flight  Cadet  Walter  ^Vhitaker,  then 
20,  who,  by  his  own  words,  observed 
Joyce  looking  out  the  window,  as  she 
frequently  did,  when  he  pulled  away 
from  the  tiny  white  frame  house  in  an 
old  model  car  which  he  had  borrowed 
from  a  friend. 

At  approximately  that  moment,  Mrs. 
Lena  B.  AVhite,  the  girl's  mother,  said 
she  heard  an  undefinable  sound  from  her 
daughter,  which  she  said  seemed  to  be 
a  hysterical  laugh,  or  a  gasp,  as  if  the 
girl  were  beginning  to  cry. 

The  mother  said  she  then  called  out 
to  her  daughter  that  "Your  boy  frieml 
left  a  little  early  tonight,  didn't  he?" 

^Vith  what  the  mother  described  as 
a  half  -  laugh,  half  -  cry,  Joyce  replied, 
"\'es,  he  certainly  did." 

Mrs.  \Vhite  said  she  then  heard  her 
daughter  enter  the  kitchen  from  the  liv- 
ing room.  After  several  moments  of  utter 
silence,  Mrs.  White,  worried  about  her 
daughter's  emotional  condition  in  view 
of  the  fact  that  Whitaker  was  being 
transferred  to  San  Antonio,  called  to 
Joyce. 

Again,  nothing  but  utter  silence. 
Mrs.  White  said  she  then  arose  from 
her  bed,  where  she  had  been  resting, 
and  investigated  her  daughter's  where- 
abouts. No  trace  of  Joyce  could  be 
found. 

The  kitchen  door,  which  opened  into 
the  back  yard  of  her  home,  was  found 
ajar.  The  screen  door,  blown  about  by 
cold  West  Texas  winds,  beat  out  a 
lonely  message  to  the  anxious  mother. 
About  10  p.m.,  Air  Force  Flight  Ca- 
det Gene  Shoup  of  Big  Spring,  Texas, 
knocked  on  the  front  door  of  the  home, 
asking  the  whereabouts  of  his  budd>', 
Whitaker. 

I'he  youth  explained  to  Mrs.  White 
that  Joyce's  boy  friends  was  tc  meet 
him  at  a  nearby  skating  rink  to  pick 
him    up    in    Shoup's   car.    It   was    their

plans,  he  said,  to  return  to  their  quar- 
ters at  Reese  Air  Force  Base,  near 
Lubbock,    together. 

About  that  time,  a  younger  brother 
of  Joyce's  returned  to  the  home.  The 
three  then  discussed  the  whereabouts  of 
Joyce  and   ^Vhitak;er. 

j\lrs.  AVhite  suggested  calling  Reese 
AFB  by  telephone.  Shoup  declined  to 
do  so,  saying  it  would  be  hard  to  locate 
AVhitaker  at  that  time  of  night. 

Mrs.  White  then  suggested  that 
Shoup  remain  at  the  home  overnight. 
Ihe    boy   agreed. 

At  6:30  a.m.,  the  following  day, 
Shoup  called  the  air  base  in  an  attempt 
to   locate   ^Vhitaker. 

Joyce's  boy  friend  was  located  by 
Shoup,  and  upon  being  informed  that 
the  girl  was  missing,  Whitaker  agreed 
to  immediately  come  to  the  White  home. 

Upon  his  arrival,  the  worried  group 
then  agreed  to  notify  other  relatives 
and    the  authorities. 

Mrs.  White  called  one  of  her  older 
sons,  who  is  a  football  coach  and  school 
teacher  at  a  small  suburb  of  Lubbock, 
and  told  him  of  the  girl's  disappearance. 

The  brother  of  Joyce  then  notified 
police,  and  hurried  to  the  home  of  his 
mother. 

City  police  and  detectives  soon  arrived 
at  the  home  to  begin  a  preliminary  in- 
\estigation. 

After  questioning  the  small  group  of 
relatives  and  friends,  officers  then 
searched  the  house  and  yard,  finding 
nothing. 

Questioning   was   then   continued. 

The  missing  girl's  fiance  told  authori- 
ties that  after  he  left  the  White  home 
about  9  o'clock  the  night  before,  he 
drove  to  the  skating  rink  where  he  was 
to  pick  up  Shoup  and  observed  that  the 
rink    still    was   open. 

Thinking  he  had  time  to  eat  a  sand- 
wich, Whitaker  said  he  drove  to  a 
nearby  drive-in  cafe,  ate  his  sandwich 
and  returned  to  the  skating  rink  about 
9:30,  only  to  find  it  closed.  Whitaker 
said  he  then  figured  that  his  buddy  had 
proceeded  to  the  air  base  with  other 
friends,  so  he  returned  to  the  base  also. 

Shoup  said  he  left  the  skating  rink 
about  9:30  and  went  to  a  different 
drive-in  for  a  cup  of  coffee.  Shoup  said 
that  from  where  he  was  sitting,  he 
could  observe  the  skating  rink  in  case 
AVhitaker  came  by. 

After  waiting  for  ^Vhitaker  for  sev- 
eral minutes,  Shoup  said  he  figured 
that  his  friend  still  was  at  the  White 
home,  so  he  proceeded  to  the  house  in 
quest  of  him. 

That  night,  anxious  relatives  called 
the   Texas   Rangers   and    requested    that

the)  enter  the  case.  The  Rangers  ques- 
tioned all  parties  concerned  with  the 
case,  only  to  find  nothing  more  than 
did  baffled  city  detectives. 

In  days  following,  members  of  the 
W^hite  family,  Whitaker  himself  and 
officers  investigated  all  rumors  which 
even  remotely  resembled  clues  in  the 
case.  Again,  no  leads  were  found. 

Still  later,  Texas  Ranger  Captain 
Raymond  Waters  and  Lubbock  Count\ 
Sheriff  Grady  Harrist  went  to  San  An- 
tonio, where  iShoup  and  Whitaker  had 
been  transferred  in  the  interim.  At  that 
time,  Whitaker  and  Shoup  agreed  to 
accompany  the  two  Lubbock  officers 
to  Te.xas  Department  of  Public  Safety- 
Headquarters  in  Austin  to  take  lie-de- 
tector  tests. 

Shoup's  story  during  polygraph  ques- 
tioning was  the  same  as  his  original  one. 

Whitaker,  upon  lie-detector  question- 
ing, said  he  returned  to  the  air  base 
near  Lubbock  the  night  of  the  girl's 
disappearance  between  10  and  10:30  in 
quest  of  Shoup.  Entering  the  barracks, 
he  said  he  observed  several  members  of 
his  squadron  shooting  dice  at  the  rear 
of  the  barracks.  After  looking  for 
Shoup,  Whitaker  said  he  then  left  the 
base  without  speaking  to  anyone. 

Whitaker  said  he  returned  to  Lub- 
bock from  the  air  base  to  search  for 
Shoup.  He  said  he  drove  past  several 
drive-ins  and  other  spots  where  he 
thought  Shoup  might  be  and  failed  to 
find  him.  Whitaker  said  he  didn't  stop 
at  any  of  the  drive-ins,  or  consider  the 
fact  that  his  friend  might  have  gone 
to  the  ^Vhite  residence  to  wait  for  him. 
He  added  that  he  returned  to  the  air 
base  for  the  night  between  1 1  and  1 1 :30 
p.m. 

Intensive  questioning  by  the  poly- 
graph operator  failed  to  break  Whit- 
aker's   story. 

Close  questioning  of  approximately 
40  of  Whitaker's  buddies  at  Reese  AFB 
disclosed  that  fellow  cadets  thought  that 
Whitaker  came  in  and  out  as  he  stated, 
but  they  couldn't  be  certain. 

Shoup  and  Whitaker,  successfully 
passing  the  lie-detector  tests,  were  re- 
leased from  unofficial  custody  and 
allowed  to  returned  to  Lackland  Air 
Force   Base  at  San  Antonio. 

In  the  days  following,  investigators  and 
anxious  relatives  failed  to  find  any  clue 
as  to  the  missing  girl's  whereabouts. 

Eighteen  days  after  Joyce's  disappear- 
ance, Waters  and  Harrist  still  were  not 
satisfied,  however,  with  their  investiga- 
tion of  the  case. 

The  next  day  they  again  went  from 
Lubbock  to  San  Antonio  and  asked 
Whitaker  if  he  would  volunteer  to  sub-

mit   to   a   second   lie-detector   test.    1  he 
suspect   readily  agreed. 

After  hours  of  questioning  that  same 
day  by  Polygraph  Operator  Dee  Wheel- 
er, who  was  armed  with  a  few  addi- 
tional facts  and  increasing  suspicion  that 
AVhitaker  had  murdered  Joyce,  the  sus- 
pect began  to  break,  although  there  was 
no  change  in  his  intelligent,  somewhat 
amused    expression. 

At  this  point,  ^Vhitaker  seemed  to 
realize  that  he  had  the  officers  dancing 
at  his  finger  tips,  and  that  he,  Whit- 
aker,  was  the  star  performer  in  the 
production  that  was  his. 

"I  have  a  story  to  tell  you,"  he  said, 
"But  I'm  hungry,  and  I  want  some- 
thing to   eat." 

Officers  then  took  Whitaker  to  the 
best  restaurant  in  Austin,  where  he  ate 
the  biggest  steak  the  establishment  had 
to    offer. 

"I'm  still  hungry,"  Whitaker  said, 
whereupon  he  ate  a  second  steak  of  sim- 
ilar size.  Whitaker  then  indicated  he 
was  read)'  to  return  to  Department  of 
Public   Safety  headquarters. 

"I'm  ready  to  tell  you  my  story," 
Whitaker  said,  "Although  I  can't  bring 
myself  to  tell  it  to  you.  I  have  a  friend 
in  Minnesota  whom  I  think  I  could 
tell." 

This  request  of  Whitaker's  was 
promptly  denied.  He  then  asked  that  a 
girl  friend  of  his,  a  Swedish  citizen 
named  Ulla  Lindbourge,  be  flown  from 
her  country  to  the  United  States  to 
hear  his  story. 

This,  too,  being  denied,  AVhitaker 
agreed  to  tell  his  story  in  the  presence 
of  officers  to  a  Lutheran  minister. 
A  Lutheran  minister  was  located. 
The  minister's  face  turned  white 
with  horror  as  Whitaker  unfolded  the 
tale  of  the  brutal  thing  which  he  had 
done. 

According  to  AVhitaker's  own  words, 
"There  was  another  girl  involved  whom 
I  loved  more  than  Joyce." 

In  substance,  this  was  his  story : 
"After  leaving  Joyce's  home  about  9 
p.m.  that  night,  I  drove  my  friend's 
car  to  the  rear  of  the  'White  home, 
where  Joyce  ran  out  the  back  door  and 
joined    me. 

"Previously,  I  had  told  her  that  I 
would  take  her  to  New  Mexico  that 
night,   where  we  would   be  married. 

"I  then  drove  out  on  a  country  road 
less  than  a  mile  from  the  spot  where 
I   later  buried  her. 

"We  then  began  arguing  about  our 
future  and  our  words  grew  louder. 
Previously,  she  had  told  me  she  was  ex- 
pectant. Joyce  laughed  at  me  and  told 
me   that  she  wasn't  pregnant.   She  said

she  just  wanted   to  see  if   I   loved   her 
more   'than    that   damn   Swede.' 

"The  next  thing  I  remember  is  wrap- 
ping a  piece  of  cord  about  her  neck  and 
watching  her  face  turn  blue.  I  seemed 
to  black  out  then,  and  when  I  came  to. 
I  found  myself  in  the  back  seat  of 
the  car  with  Joyce's  body  ne.xt  to  me, 
naked. 

"After  driving  over  several  country 
roads,  I  found  a  spot  where  workmen 
had  been  laying  pipe.  After  burying 
Joyce  there,  I  buried  her  clothing  in 
five  different  spots,  all  near  the  site 
of   her  burial." 

When  Whitaker  had  completed  his 
oral  confession,  he  was  rushed  to  Lub- 
bock from  Austin.  Upon  arrival  there, 
he  guided  officers  to  a  lonely  cotton 
patch  near  Reese  AFB,  where  he  said 
he  had   buried  Joyce  and  her  clothing. 

After  officers  began  digging  at  the 
spot,  Whitaker  grabbed  a  shovel  and 
yelled  at  District  Attorney  Travis  Shel- 
ton,  who  had  come  to  the  scene,  "Let 
me  do  the  digging.  You'll  develop  a 
good  case  of  heart  trouble." 

Immediately  before  uncovering  the 
body,  Whitaker  said,  "I  suppose  you 
men  know  how  horrible  this  is  going 
to  be."  He  was  referring  to  the  con- 
dition of  Joyce's  body  after  it  had 
remained  underground  for  exactly  20 
days. 

Then,  with  a  flourish,  the  confessed 
slayer  uncovered  a  portion  of  the  dead 
girl's  right  hip. 

It  was  a  terrible,  unforgettable  sight 
as  the  body  of  the  young  girl,  once 
pretty  and  laughing,  was  recovered 
from  the  lonely  grave  where  it  had 
been  placed  by  the  murderer  whom  she 
had   trusted. 

Veteran  officers  shuddered. 

Reporters  and  photographers,  used  to 
being  around  all  sorts  of  violence,  stood 
by  with  faces  of  stone. 

The  crude  grave  where  Joyce's  body 
lay  on  its  side  was  about  four  feet  deep. 
Adjacent  was  what  was  left  of  a  cotton 
patch  with  only  a  few  stalks  remaining 
here  and  there.  One  such  stalk  had  been 
punched  into  the  ground  over  the  burial 
site,  but  whether  Whitaker  put  it  there 
as  a  marker,  no  one  will  ever  know. 

Nearby,  in  shallow  holes  about  one 
foot  deep  were  found  Joyce's  clothing. 

In  the  hole  with  her  underclothing 
was  the  cord  which  was  used  to  choke 
her  to  death. 

The  accused  slayer  found  all  of  these 
with  amazing  accuracy. 

The  burial  site  was  in  line  with  a 
recently  installed  natural  gas  line  lead- 
ing to  a  new  residential  district  nearby. 

The   grave  might  have  forever  held

its  secret  if  it  had  not  been  pointed  out 
by  the  man  who  dug  it. 

Whitaker  was  then  released  from  the 
military  to  civilian  custody  and  was 
charged  with  murder  with  malice.  Ef- 
forts to  procure  a  written  statement 
from  \Vhitaker  failed  after  the  con- 
fessed killed  replied  that  he  thought  his 
oral   statements  should   be  sufficient. 

An  autopsy  performed  on  Joyce's 
body  by  Dr.  Marie  Shaw,  a  Lubbock 
pathologist,  indicated  that  Joyce  was 
criminally  assaulted  "before  or  near 
the  time  of  her  death." 

After  the  slayer's  formal  arrest,  in- 
vestigation at  his  Hartford,  Conn.,  home 
indicated  that  as  a  juvenile  he  had  been 
handled  in  connection  with  petty  thefts, 
car  thefts,  burglaries  and,  finally  safe- 
cracking. These  offenses  did  not  show 
on  Whitaker's  military  record,  however, 
for  at  the  time  they  were  committed 
the  slayer  was  a  juvenile. 

Whitaker  came  from  a  well-to-do 
family  which  lived  in  Wethersfield,  a 
suburb  of  Hartford.  The  flight  cadet's 
father  is  president  and  treasurer  of  a 
Hartford  trucking  and  storage  firm. 
AVhitaker's  father  also  owns  extensive 
business    interests   in    Sweden. 

Whitaker  was  tried  for  murder  with 
malice  before  a  jury  in  Vernon  in  June, 
1953.  Following  three  days  of  testimonv 
during  which  the  state  proved  through 
circumstantial  evidence  that  Whitaker 
had  planned  Joyce's  death  three  days 
before  the  brutal  murder,  Whitaker  was 
given  the  death  penalty. 

The  case  was  appealed  three  times. 
In  each  instance,  the  Court  of  Criminal 
Appeals  in  Austin  ruled  that  the  de- 
fendant had  received  a  fair  trial  and 
that  he  must  die. 

During  hearings  before  the  Board  of 
Pardons  and  Paroles,  Whitaker's  par- 
ents and  attorneys  argued  that  Whit- 
aker's was  a  case  of  murder  without 
malice,  and  that  he  had  murdered  only 
in  the  heat  of  anger  and  passion. 

It  was  also  argued  by  defense  attor- 
neys that  Whitaker  was  "crucified"  by 
the  newspapers,  and  that  he  had  not 
been  dealt  with  fairly. 

Even  during  the  last  minutes  before 
Whitaker's  execution,  the  arrogant  mur- 
derer, described  bv  prison  doctors  as  a 
youth  with  a  split  personality,  main- 
tained the  attitude  that  his  parents 
could,  through  the  use  of  their  money, 
secure  a  commutation  of  his  sentence 
to   life   imprisonment. 

The  condemned  slayer,  who  had  the 
highest  I.Q.  of  anyone  ever  to  be  ad- 
mitted as  a  prisoner  to  the  Texas  Prison 
System,  continued  to  live  in  the  clouds 
as  the  final  hours  of  his  life  ticked  away.

The  mother  of  the  brutally  assaulted 
and  murdered  girl  even  yet  sits  in  her 
home  in  Lubbock,  stunned  with  the  con- 
clusion of  the  case. 

"With  a  face  like  that,  how  could 
he  have  done  it?" 

AVhitaker  committed  an  almost  per- 
fect crime,  officers  say. 

If  it  hadn't  been  for  the  dogged  in- 
\estigations  and  beliefs  that  somehow, 
some  way,  they  were  right,  Texas  Ran- 
ger Capt.  Raymond  AVaters  and  Lub- 
bock County  Sheriff  Grady  Harrist 
never    could    have   solved    the   case. 

Many  officers  would  have  been 
tempted  to  give  up  following  the  com- 
pletion of  the  first  lie  -  detector  test, 
conclusions  of  which  were  not  satis- 
factory but  didn't  actually  show  that 
\Vhitaker  was  guilty. 

The  conclusion  of  the  Whitaker  case 
truly  can  be  used  as  an  action  lesson 
to  law  enforcement  officers  throughout 
the  United  States.  It  is  a  fine  example 
of   officers   who    didn't   give   up. 

HEAD-ON  COLLISIONS 

Most  head-on  collisions  occur  when 
some  drivers  is  trying  to  pass  another. 
Make  sure  you  have  plenty  of  room  be- 
fore attempting  to  pass,  says  the  Califor- 
nia State  Automobile  Association. 


It  is  far  better  driving  to  shift  into  sec- 
ond when  climbing  a  hill  than  to  strain 
the  car  by  remaining  in  high,  declares  the 
National  Automobile  Club. 


In  1953,  38,500  Americans  were  killed 
in  traffic  accidents. 

WATCH   ROAD 

Safe  driving  calls  for  constant  atten- 
tion to  four  factors,  says  the  California 
State  Automobile  Association.  These  are 
the  road,  the  car,  other  traffic  and  pedes- 
trians. The  habit  of  keeping  constantly 
alert  to  these  factors  will  eliminate  many 
emergencies.

CHECK  STEERING 

The  wise  driver  has  a  periodic  check 
made  on  his  steering  assembly,  wheel 
alignment,  and  tires,  according  to  the 
National  Automobile  Club. 


DEMONSTRATIONS 

The  car  demonstration,  according  to 
the  National  Automobile  Club,  should  be 
comprehensive  enough  to  show  all  the 
car's  virtues  or,  possibly,  its  faults. 


SLOW  DRIVERS 

Extremely  slow  drivers  should  keep  as 
far  over  to  the  right  as  possible,  advises 
the  National  Automobile  Club. 


SPEED  DANGEROUS 

Too  much  speed  is  dangerous  at  any 
time  but  it  is  particularly  dangerous 
during  the  winter  season,  points  out  the 
National  Automobile  Club.  When  roads 
are  made  slippery  by  falling  rain  or  form- 
ing ice,  when  visibility  has  been  impaired 
with  drifting  fog  or  heavy  mist,  slow 
down  and  be  safe.

TRAFFIC  INSTITUTE 

The  Traffic  Institute  of  Northwestern 
University  announced  that  39  police  offi- 
cers ha\e  been  selected  to  attend  its  1954- 
55  traffic  police  administration  course. 

Franklin  M.  Kreml,  Institute  director, 
said  that  33  of  the  officers  attending  the 
course  on  awards  provided  by  the  Kemper 
Foundation  for  Traffic  Safety,  Chicago, 
and  six  were  declared  eligible  to  attend  as 
tuition-paying  students.  The  Kemper 
Foundation  is  sponsored  by  the  Lumber- 
men's Mutual  Casualty  Company  and  the 
American  Motorists  Insurance  Company. 

The  two-semester  course  in  police  traffic 
supervision  —  the  only  training  of  its  kind 
offered  anywhere  —  started  September 
23,  1954,  and  continue  through  June  13, 
1955.  It  is  designed  especially  for  execu- 
tive and  administrative  personnel  of  police 
departments  and  includes  more  than  1,200 
hours  of  classroom  study,  work  projects, 
demonstrations,  and  field  study  trips. 
Four  main  study  areas  are:  non-police 
highway  transportation  agencies  and  prob- 
lems, functions  of  traffic  police,  manage- 
ment of  police  service,  and  general  educa- 
tion subjects. 

The  39  men  chosen  in  nation-wide  com- 
petition for  the  1954-55  course  were 
named  after  successfully  completing  a  se- 
lection process  which  included  aptitude 
tests,  personal  interviews,  and  considera- 
tion of  such  factors  as  the  extent  of  the 
accident  and  congestion  problem  in  the  ap- 
plicant's community  and  his  department's 
plans  for  profitable  use  of  his  training. 

The  39  men  represent  20  municipal 
police  departments  in  the  L^nited  States, 
1 1  state  police  and  highway  patrol  organ- 
izations, the  Port  of  New  York  Author- 
ity, the  Quebec  (city),  Canada,  and  the 
Manila,  P. I.,  police  departments,  and  the 
Ministry  of  Interior  of  Taiwan  (For- 
mosa ) . 

Members  of  the  Institute  Board  of  Se- 
lection which  named  the  award  winners 
were:  Lynn  H.  Stockman,  assistant  dean. 
School  of  Commerce,  Northwestern  Uni- 
\ersity  ;  Carl  F.  Hanson,  president.  Inter- 
national Association  of  Chiefs  of  Police, 
and  chief  of  police,  Dallas,  Tex. ;  and  W. 
Dean  Keefer,  second  vice  president,  Limi- 
bermen's  Mutual  Casualty  Company,  rep- 
resenting the  Kemper  Foundation  for 
Traffic  Safety. 

The  Kemper  Foundation,  which  has 
been  providing  funds  for  police  officers  to 
attend  the  Traffic  Institute,  since  1936, 
gave  sixteen  $1 ,650  fellowships  and  seven- 
teen $500  tuition  scholarships  for  the 
1954-55  class.  (Four  of  the  officers  will 
share  two  fellowships  and  two  scholar- 
ships.)
