MAYOR, BOARD DISAGREE OVER POLICE MANUAL Officers Not to Use Badges to Get Into Movies and Ball Games. Mayor Korn, who styles himself, "the policeman's friend, ’’ was disturbed toctey, when he realized officers soon are to be unable to use their badges to get into movies and baseball games. He told Safety Board members the new police rule book, recently drafted and passed, was fine except lor that provision. "If the officers want to go to movies I think they should be allowed to sit down and enjoy themselves,” the mayor said. "Policemen have it hard enough as it is.” The little black book definitely says, "Officers in uniform shall not go into amusement places except in discharge of their duty, and then they can not sit down.” Despite Mayor Kern’s plea, the Board held its ground. In defense, Chief Morrissey declared, “What does the public think when they see a cop sitting down in a movie. People never stop to realize he might be of! duty. Usually they go to the nearest phone and complain.” The rule book, which is the first one since 1920, has been the subject of countless discussions. Chief Morrissey with Virgil Sheppard, local Chamber of Commerce governmental expert, and ranking department officers, wrote it sentence at a time over a period of several months. Manual Being Printed Board members approved the manual, and today it is being printed. Copies are to be given every man in the department, and it is to serve as a text book for the police school. If its provisions are enforced, the department should look like a cross between a Sunday School convention and a crack Prussian regiment, .someone said. For generations police have addressed their superior officers by abbreviations of "cap” and "sarg.,” and many of them think a salute is something soldiers execute. All that may be changed. Under the new rules they are to be required to address their superiors by lull titles and click their heels and salute when reporting for duty. Detectives, however, are exempt from this provision. Can’t Smoke in Public The book further provides that policemen in uniform shall not carry umbrellas or canes, shall not smoke in public and shall rot give testimonials on cigarets, corn plasters or tooth paste. They are not to be allowed to write ‘‘true detective” stories for magazines without getting the chief’s consent. Strangest of all is a provision warning officers not to apologize when making arrests. A great deal of space is given to the use of radios and motorized equipment, a subject not covered in the last manual, Chief Morrissey said. TWO UNDER ARREST AS HOLDUP SUSPECTS Both Armed When Taken, Police Say; placed Under SSOOO Bond. Police today held Charles Padgett, 23, and Robert H. Hoff, 19. as suspects in recent holdups. They arrested the two in a N. Illinois-st apartment and found each armed, they said. Their wives were not held. Placing the bond on each at SSOOO, police began to question them separately about recent crimes in the city. LANDMARK IS RAZED Germania Hall, on "Commission Row r ,” Being Demolished. Germania Hall, the five-story brick building on the east side of Delaware-st between Washington-st and Virg:nia-av, one of the landmarks along "commission row” for more than 50 years, was being demolished today. Constructed prior to 1880, the structure has been for many years headquarters for local unions and lodge chapters. No new building is contemplated for the site at present. It is understood the space will be used as a parking lot. The property is owned by the Pennsylvania Investment Cos. POLICE CHIEF IS Charles Hood Appointed to Post by Greensburg Mayor.
