COUNCiLTOBE ‘SOLD’ ON NEED OF 50 POLICE of Safety to Cite Statistics and Facts, Says Kingston. Undismayed by published reports revealing opposition of councUmen to its proposed increase of fifty* mien to the police force, board of safety members will conduct a campaign “to sell city council that the need exists,” Ernest L. Kingston, president of the board, said today. “We’re going before the council and present statistics and in black and white to prove Police Chief F.ikhoff can not adequately protect ♦he city against criminals with the present police force,” Kingston de- ! dared. Expresses Confidence “1 have a high opinion of the men on this body and believe they will grant our request, if we cah prove to them need is real.” Replying to criticisms of councilmen that too many police have been assigned to special details, many of them regarded as soft snaps,. Kingston said the special details include essential work. If the board had funds at it”, disposal, women clerks could be hired for some of the positions, according to Kingston. The board of safety does not intend to charge the banko guarded by special police, Kingston said, Shank proposed this idea sevH~al weeks ago, but said,today he Pi ad aband med it. 1 Mme Is Crime “Crime is crime, wherever it may be,” Kingston stated. “If crooks concentrated on any other business it would be afforded equal protection.” No date has been set for withdrawal of the bank guard detail, according to Kingston.
