\. MORRISSEY FORMS | 85-OFFICER DETAIL
DURING YULE RUSH
Shoplifters, Beggars and Auto Thieves Face Police Wrath; 13 ‘Don’ts’ Listed As Downtown Guides.
Chief Morrissey today ordered aid in the patrolling of downtown ping season.
a special detail of 85 officers to streets during the Christmas shop-
Shoplifters, beggars and auto thieves will be objects of the police drive, the Chief said. At the same time, he listed 13 “don’ts” for shop-
pers. They are: ’ ' “Don’t park your car with packages or personal belongings in the car, even though the car is locked. Someone might help themselves to your belongings while you are gone. “Don’t leave purchases on the counter while making purchases. Such action is considered a golden opvoortunity for some sneak thief. “Don’t have your purse hanging
on your arm in a careless manner. |
Put the strap over your arm and keep your purse securely in your hand, A purse hanging over the arm is a temptation to a purse snatcher. Keep Rings on Fingers
“Don’t take off your rings or other valuables while in a washroom. You might forget to pick them up. “Don’t forget to tell the kiddies that if they should happen to get lost while downtown ‘to. go to the nearest policeman. He will be their friend and will find their parents in a little while. When parents who have taken their children to town get separated, they then should call headquarters and get in touch with the record clerk immediately. . He probably will be able to tell just * where the child is. : “Don’t carry your purse in your hip pocket; keep it on the inside coat pocket and keep the pocket buttoned. “Don’t double park or park improperly in the congested district. “This congests trafic and you probably will get a traffic violation notice. Finding it necessary to give some person a traffic violation notice is not a policeman’s idea of a Christmas greeting. “Don’t be too hasty in- driving. Remember the pedestrians. Many of them are elderly persons who are in the congested district enjoying their Christmas buying and are liable to forget the heavy traffic. Keep your car absolutely under control: be on the alert for adults as well as children who might step out into the street:
Warning on Children
“Don’t allow too small children to visit the downtown section of the city during the Christmas rush by themselves. This is strictly a safety measure to keep the children from being injured. Parents should see to it that their small children are either accompanied by themselves or someone else. Again, if the children should happen to get separated and lost, advise them before you take them downtown that if you happen to get separated to go to the nearest policeman and he will be their friend. The parent should immediately call police headquarters and report to the record clerk. “Don’t jaywalk. This is not only a violation of a city ordinance but it is extremely dangerous and during the next few weeks will be even “more dangerous with the enormous traffic and especially on account of the large number of out-of-town motorists: coming into the city to shop. Keep your mind on the dangers of traffic while on the street and do your thinking about shopping while inside the stores. “Don’t walk across the street with an umbrella pulled down in fronf of your face. This is a very dangerous practice, as you fail to see oncoming traffic. “Don’t step from the curb without first coming to a stop; then look and listen. Always remember that the immediate danger to a pedestrian starting to cross the street is from the left. : “Don’t leave valuables in parked and unattended automobiles even though the car is locked. A locked car is no problem to those who make a business of such thefts.”

By DR. GEORGE GALLUP Director, American Institute of Public Opinion
EW YORK, Dec. 9.— The Nazi treatment of Jews in Germany, against which many American leaders, including President Roosevelt, have lodged strong protest, is disapproved by an overwhelming majority of American vot-
ers in every section of the .
country and of every race
and religion. A national cross-section survey by the Ameérican Institute of Public Opinion found the vote of cond e mn ation so nearly unanimous as to constitute one of the most decisive expressions of opinion in any of the more than 300 surveys conducted by the Institute in the last three years. The results clearly point to the fact that in this country there 1s virtually none of the kind of anti-Semi-ym manifested in Germany toay.

HE Institute’s survey measured the country not only toward the treatment of Jews in Germany but also toward the treatment of Catholics. It found almost unanimous disapproval of the Reich’s antiCatholic policies. Through a nation-wide staff of 700 field investigators, the Institute put two questions to a crosssection of voters in every state: “Do you approve or disapprove of the Nazis’ treatment of Jews in Germany?” and “Do you approve or disapprcve of the Nazis’ treatment of Catholics in Germany?” The vote on each question was as follows: Approve Treatment of Jews, 6% 94
. Disapprove .
Approve Treatment of Catholics . % Disapprove . : ” There is a striking unanimity of opinion by religious groups on both the Jewish issue and the Catholic issue. The survey found virtually 100 per cent of Catholics disapproving treatment of Catholics in Germany, 'as might be expected, and 97 per cent of

Protestants likewise Catholic persecution. As for Jewish persecution in the Reich, Catholics in the United States deplore such treatment by a vote of 93 per cent, and Protestants by 95 per cent. Voters of both faiths express three general ideas in explainin their attitude: that they do no believe in religious intolerance, that they disapprove of mistreatment of any human beings, and that the German persecution of religious minorities is “barbaric and bestial.” Disapproval of the Reich's treatment of Catholics is uniformly: high in all sections of the country, the vote being nowhere less than 95 per cent opposed. The largest minority approving the Nazi treatment of Jews was found in New England, where 10 per cent approved, 90 per cent disapproved. Elsewhere the vote

TAX BOARD RULES .DU PONT IS LIABLE
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9: (U.P). — The Board of Tax Appeals today had ruled that Henry F du Pont, Winterthur, Del, is liable for a 1932 income tax deficiency. The board did not determine the actual amount, but upheld the Government in the major portions of a case involving an alleged deficiency of $204,148. The case hinged on the classification of profits Mr. du Pont received from short sale stock transactions. The Government contended the profits amounted to more than $520,000 .and should be classed as ordinary gain, and Mr. du Pont-ton-tended they should be as capital gain. :
