(Continued From Page One) square mile of city territory under existing conditions, he said. His statements accompanied a plea for applicants to enter police training school fo fill 63 current vacancies. “We need more qualified men to enter police work as a career,” the chief said. “We have 63 vacancies now and there will be at least 25 more under the* 1949 budget. We are now accepting applications for both the current vacancies and to fill the additional budget provisions. Patrols Cut Even these 88 additions to the force will not bring Indianapolis up to par on law enforcement, the chief added. These will take care of only the “critical” vacancies and will allow no expansion of police service, he said. He pointed out that his plans to maintain walking patrolmen in busy downtown areas and in neighborhood business areas had to be set aside when the number) of additional men which he asked for in his 1949 budget was cut 75 per cent. “I asked for 100 men for walking patrols,” he declared, this number was cut to 50 by City Council and to 25 by the Mariog County Tax Board.” “I consider 50 the bare mini mum which should be added next year. With less than that we'll have only a marshal’'s force, not a police department.” “The present force of 577 leaves gaping holes in every department,” the chief continued. “Out of that we are forced to assign a considerable number of men to the courts, cify hall, the prosecytor’s office, to our records departments and to other spots where they become lost to us for actual police duty. What is left
fic officers than we need, only two walking patrolmen for he whole downtown district and just barely enough to investigate violations certainly not enough to do any preventing.”

Jobs Attractive
The present vacancies are an aftermath of the war, when older men were kept beyond retirement “rookie” material was diverted to the army, he said.
Retirement of older men, plus the normal number of resignations has resulted in vacancies for which young men are needed. Chief Rouls pointed out that the $300 pay increase for third year patrolmen »olus graded increases for officers have made police jobs more attractive The 1949 scale is $2400 for first year patrolmen, $2700 for second year and $3000 for third year.
