: te Police Supt. Robert oy State J dream BY true was favored. But Mr. Thurston

toflay—a-door unlocked to let men | ame “up through the ranks” to post. t he had -one regret—"that tha old man isn't here to see it.” fhe “old man” was Supt. ‘Neal's most ardent admirer, his dad, former Indianapolis Police co Chee Jack O'Neal who died early

Sg _ a crowning victory, however, for the boy who always be- | Jleved his dad's advice: “Be a| j ood policeman instead of a good | fitician and you'll never regret! At: on In Dad's Footstep .. At age 38 Supt. O'Neal reached .the top in his chosen career, the “only one of four boys to follow in his policeman’s father's footsteps. »~ The new superintendent was .one day short of 20 years of age when he joined the department as a.clerk, Apr. 19, 1934, »#The next year he became a "trooper and thus launched his police career. He piled up such an unprece“dented number of stolen car re- - coveries he was promoted to detective when he was but 22, A star math student at Cathedral High School, he explained his record by saying he kept | i= cense numbers of. stolen cars “In my head.” One month he recovered a record 16 stolen cars, most of them still in possession of the thieves. Solved Double Slaying His memory of numbers solved a double slaying in more recent In 1947, when two Ham d policemen were killed, the

scene “rang a bell” in Supt. eal’s mind, It was the numof a gun a man had registered with him several months before. ‘He traced the gun to the two slayers, Robert O. Brown and Frank Badgley, who contessed and died in the electric chair for their crime. As he rose in the department— detéctive captain in 1045 and major and executive officer in 1046 —Mr. O'Neal remained active in investigative work in addition to his administrative duties. He personally directed investi gation in the Robert Watts and Howard Pollard murder cases and accumulaied evidence that resulted in convictions in both. In Indiana's “desperado” days he was credited with helping break up the Al Brady gang with the capture of one of the desperados. Supt. O'Neal was acting superintendent under Gov. Ralph Gates from the retirement of Austin Killian to the appointment of Col. Robert Rossow. Near Goal Once Before | Once before his appointment to the post seemed close. When

Noblesville Super-Road ‘Only Answer

By TED KNAP | Despite strong protests of a) group of citizens, the state will] |go ahead with plans to make Ind. {37 a four-lane superhighway be-| tween Indianapolis and Nobles-| ville. | Samuel C.

He said new protests made last, night by 300 members of the Al-| {lisonville Civic Association will be given ‘respectful consideration,” but added that the Com-

Instead of a superhighway| along Ind. 37, the Civic Assocla-| tion proposed the state build a new highway to the east, followihg the old Cumberland Road to connect Ind. 100 on the south to the Noblesville bypass on the. north. Another resolution urged that Ind. 37 be widened six feet and resurfaced. “That just wouldn't work, ' Mr. Hadden countered. | “Our engineers know that one four-lane highway can carry twice as much traffic as two twolane roads. With a minifhum outlay of money, we get a much better road if we build four-lane. “If we built another road as they suggest,” Mr. Hadden said,’ “all we'd have is one new road
