His job is probably typical of that faced by the modern, overgrown, big Anierican’ city which is now trying’ to-prevent the new. wave’ of sex crimes, robberics and degen- eracy that has engulfed every big city in the wake of war. “Scooped” Lecal Papers When General Worton took of- fice late last summer, just about everything under the sun happened at once. Mickey Cohen, publicized Suitan of the under- world, had just been shot at. Wor- ton’s prede or as chief of po- lice had just been indicted—though lgter acquitted. And a raft of dic- taphone recordings taken from a mlcmphonc hidden in Mickey nen’s house made headlines in the Tios Angeles papers. 5 Indicative of the easygoing leth- aax\ of the Los Angeles police force, was, first, the fact that “these dictaphone recordings Rad bgen Taying in a police lieutenant’s gar- age for months. And, second, the fact that the recordings were sold to various underworld leaders be- fore they were shewn to the new chief of polices?" " In fact, Los Angeles generally as o uninterested in its own po- e graft that Dick Hyer of the San Francisco Chronicle stole the story right from under the noses cf the Los Angeles newspapers. And for some days, Los Angeles papers were frantically rewriting the San Francisco Chronicle stories in order to report what was going on o their own town “Police_ Union” Developed . What Genegal, Worton found in the Los Angeles police force may also be typical of what is happen- ing in other American cities. When he tried to fire the head of his Qetective force, he found that he gouldn't. The detective chief was protected by charges were preferred against him, those charges were heard by a foard of fellow police officers whose watchword was self-protection In brief, Los Angeles had gone to such extremes with Civil Service that a “Police Union,” tightly controlled as if it had been crgan- ized by John L. Lewis, had devel- oped. Administrative Difficulties Chief Worton's job has been dif- ficult not only because Los Angeles filled up during the war with a motley migration of midwest war workers, pension-hunting end migrant Mexicans, but cause large sections of the Tot undeg his ‘controbs What Worton found was that FEoliywood, Beverly Hills, Pasadena, 2nd half a dozen of the other cities that nudge Los Angeles and really Iake up its metropolitan area, op- also be city are It is not to makel and report, interest fawning over Tito or indorsing his ideology, but in encouraging each and every break with the Kremlin's ~ top of this, Los Apgeles county has much- | Co- Civil Service.

On 13,000' police of it3 own, and'it is in the comn ther than the city that southern Culifornia gambling really flourishes ‘ King-pin of Los Angeles County is colerful Sheriff Eugene ma\ll- \iz, who' seems to get no moré ex- cited about an occasional gang shooting than about the gambling | that attracts crowds along Sunset \St ip. After the hooalums spattered the front of Sherry’s with shotgun | slugs in an effort to bump off Mickey Cohen, Sheriff Biscailuzi decided to re-cnact the crime— with ell wifnesses present. So, acs companied by newsmen and photo- graphers, the Sheriff arrived with his retinue. But no witnesses. After a lot of waiting, hemming and hawing, the Sheriff remarked “Well, they must have been tired jor maybe they went to the fights tonight.” Whereupon he had his picture taken, pointing at the bullet holes, and went home. i i Police Improvement :Noted y The Los Angeles press seems to love Sheriff ‘Biscailuz and seldom | points to the fact that it’s in his jbailiwick that things are wide open, free and easy. Of course, there may be a reason for this love. Not lang ago the Sheriff threw a party ‘at the Eastside Brewery, with a young army of newsmen present. There was also plenty of bourbon and filet mignon. Just how the Sheriff could afford such a party remains ja mystery, but his objective was no mystery. “We've all been in this thing to- gether for a long time,” he said, in a little speech of welcome. “So remember your old friend Gene Biscailuz if things start popping. And remember we've always been friends.” A few days later 200 deputy sher- iff badges, as big as pepsi-cola I\m(‘l’:(x. were handed out to the jpress. | No wonder, when General Wor- \ton took over the Los Angeles po- lice and started cleaning up, he was razzed by certain newspapers. He Thadn't learned the trick of passing tout filet mignon, bourbon and de- puty sheriff badges.
