JUSTICE FOR THE COP
American* generally (Jo not have a very good opinion of
their police.
Part of tilIh is due to the prevalence of crime in large
cities, which has led to a fairly widespread belief—some-
times justified and «ometimes not—that thfe policc arc in-
efficient and corrupt, unable to copc with gang leaders
even if they wished to.
Part of it, too, probably comes from th& fact that the
ordinary citizen's chief contact with the police comes
through this tr&ffic officer. This functionary is usually
overworked and harassed, and his temper, quite naturally,
tends to be a short one. Mr. Average American, then, ruf-
fled at getting scolded sharply for violating some traffic
rule, judges the whole force by the officer who has re-
buked him, and sets all policemen down as rude and un-
mannerly persons.
However, this isn't quite the whole story; and it is worth
remembering that the ordinary cop is ready and willing
to risk his.life against long odds for the protection of the
public. He does it repeatedly, and gets little credit for it.
There is, for instance, Patrolman Ernest Staab of Cleve-
land, who suffers from intermittent spells of sickness and
labors against a curse of ill health that may eventually
cut short his life because of his self-sacrifice and devotion
to duty at the terrible Cleveland, clinic fire two years ago.
Newspaper readers will remember that fire. The hos-
pital building filled with deadly gas, and more than 100
people lost their lives. Patrolman Staab was one of the
first.officers to reach the scene. Again and again he went
into the gas-filled building. Before he himself finally col-
lapsed, he had saved 21 lives.
For weeks Staab was at. the point of death. Finally he
recovered—partially. He still has spells of painful sick-
ness. He still does not know when one of these spells is
going to carry him off. But he simply sa/s, "It was my
job," and auks no sympathy.
There is an example of the way the "ordinary cop" rises
to the emergency.
There are plenty more like him. There is. for instance,
Patrolman Charles E. Ripley—promoted now, to a ser-
geant—of Dover, N, J., who by his nerve and quickness was
able to arrest James Nannery, a dangerous young thug for
whom police of half a dozen states were hunting.
Staab and Ripley are not uncommon characters. They
are fairly representative of the average policeman through-
out the United States. They seldom get much credit. The
ordinary citizen finds it easy to criticize thcni. But they
are there when the emergency arises.

George Was Broke. Too
To speak of honest Ooorge Wash-

the revolutionary war he sent his
mother 15 guineas with the explan-
ation that these were all he had. "I
have now demands upon me for
more than 500 pounds," he wrote
."340 of which Is due for the tax of
1786, and I know not where or when
I shall receive one shilling with
which to pay It."

IiOVK MART TRIAL
SAN DIEGO GETS
SURPRISE
SAN DIEOO. Cai., June 4. </IV-
A straightforward admission by
John P. Mills, who turned state's
evidence against his former co-de-
fendants In the girl mart case, that
he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor
charge rather than to take a chance
on being convicted of a felony fea-
tured today's session of the trial.
Mills formerly was accused with
Alexander Pantages, wealthy show-
man. Jesse H. Shreve. San Diego
businessman. and William Jobel-
mann and Olive Clark Day, alleged
operators of a Hollywood "girl
market", of conspiring to violate
and violating the juvenile court law
by bringing 17-yenr-old Lydla Nltto
here to a hotel party last October.
He pleaded guilty to a charge of
contributing to the delinquency of
Miss Nltto and was freed of the
conspiracy count.
After Mills had testified on direct
examination that he and Shreve
agreed to give Olive Day $200 to
bring Miss Nltto and another girl,
Helen Livingston, to San Diego, the
defense cross examined him closely
for his motive In appearing for the
state.
Mills testified he. Pantages and
Shreve had planned a conference
for October 31 on payment of an
$80,000 note they had endorsed
which then was overdue.
The witness said he called on
Shreve at his home October 20 to
talk over the plans, and Shreve
suggested that party be given the
next night to put Pantages in a
"gocd humor".
Shreve suggested that Pantages
might want to plav around a little
and asked me 11 I 'new where some
girls could be found," Mills said.
I told him I knew of none in Son
Diego but might get some from
Hollywood."
On cross examination defense at-
torneys harped upon the overdue
note, intimating by their queries an
attempt would be made to prove
Mills engineered the party in an
effort to force Pantages to pay the
$80,000.
Mills was the first witness called.
He appeared wearing a natty gray
puit and was Ignored by Pantages
and Shreve, who until recently
were partners with him in many
real estate ventures. Shreve .sat
looking solemnly 'away from the
witness, while Pantages glared at
him from time to time.
Robber Suspect
Held in Amarillo
AMARILLO, June 4. (£•>—Carliss
"Buck" CHbal, 26, of Sherman,
was arrested today and charged
with robbery with firearms, follow-
ing a scries of holdups of business
establishments here.
Five victims of banditry identified
O'Neal as the man who robbed
them. One of the five, W. E. Wil-
liams, grocer, had his face slapped
recently by a man who poked a gun
at him. He hesitated too long in
opening the cash register. His
.'•pectaclcs were knocked off, and
he was the only one of the five
who was not quite sure O'Neal was
the robber.

Officials said Lindbergh ha.s not
determined whether to return by
air or by boat.
Officials of the Soviet Informa-

sought permission to fly over Rus-

request would be granted readily.
Despite the comparatively short

in combatting adverse weather con-
