Traffic Policeman ; Embarrasses City Prolific Writer Os Tickets Is Problem CHICAGO (INS) The four top officials in the Chicago police department traffic division meet today to decide what to do about a traffic policeman who also is quite a writer. The policeman is “jotting Jack” Muller, a 30-year-old veteran of tbl three-wheeled motorwcles used by traffic police. , ’ Muller holds the Chicago and maybe the national and the world's record for writing traffic tickets. He once filled out 240 traffic violation charges in one day. He algo holds the attention of traffic chief Michael Ahern, and Ahern's three top deputies, who are Investigating Muller's newest news-making exploits. Muller, in his three-wheeled ramblings, also has "arrested" a dog, a pony named “Liberace" and on another occasion put the heavy hand on a bystander who refused to telephone for a paddy wagon when Muller ordered him to do so. Muller's writing ability, on traffic tickets anyway, has involved him in several squabbles with traffic court judges. One judge flatly accused Muller of harrsasing the public. .Muller admits his unusual fearlessness in handing out tickets is baaed on the fact that he is independently wealthy by virtue of an accident ease settlement. . . The burly officer's latest brush with what policemen refer to as “untouchables” occurred Saturday TirgHCwTrenwirerbeem®Tnvorvetr in a street, hospital and police station brawl with superior court Judge Samuel P. Epstein starting in front of the swank Drake Hotel. After it was all over. Muller had a bruised lip. the judge’s wife. Lottie.

wagnn. At one singe of the argument, one of Muller's superiors commanded him not to charge the Epsteins with assault and to turn the couple loose. Muller responded by unpinning his star and offering to “turn in my pipeplate." His offer was refused. Muller Sunday was “excused from du’y" pending a complete iny*J»tilgi>ion of the incident. Police commissioner Timothy J. O'Connor Stressed that Mulftr was not suspended. Judge Epstein said the pulflic should be protected from "Thia hot-headed policeman.” Mulier responded: “I enforce the law without fear or favor.

Benson Report On Butter Use Scored Report Is Charged As Baldest Fakery WASHINGTON (INS) - The national Farmers Union—strongly opposed to agriculture secretary Ezra Taft Benson—has attacked a recent butter consumption report issued by Benson as “the baldest fakery of all.” , The report Indicated that butter consumption has risen sinep Benson reduced dairy price impports from 90 to 75 percent of parity on April 1. The Farmers Union, which advocates 100 percent of parity price supports on all commodities, accuses Benson, however, of using false figures to win backing for a flexible support system. The organization says in its latest Washington News Letter that the consumption report “is strictly in keeping with the administration's strategy of using misled consumer pressure as the main political force against parity price supports," Benson’s statisticians are accused of going contrary to fact to create evidence which showed in the report that milk production has decreased as a result of lower price supports. The Farmers Union points out that Benson’s report stressed a decline in xpilk production between May and June and listed June historically as the month of peak production. According to dm farurorganisation, June dairy fetl balow May levels in 1942, 1954. 1946, 1948, 1949, 1952, and 1953 as well ifirranriiw. The Farmers Union is the third
