CO. alert prosresslve-spell it with a
capi,aI p. and YOU will still he within
the facts: he is tremendous admirer
of Clifford Pinchot, with all that that
connotes He is product OF the wash
ington public schools. and has lived
there nearly all his life.
Pullman has never been a policeman.
and admits that he knows mighty little
about the practical side of the police
business. but he boasts that he knows a
good deal about the newspaper business.
II was as a newspaper reporter that he
became interested in the things with
which the police have to do: but his in
terest was and is in the social rather
than the strictly police side of such
matters.
Comma ndcd Crack Company.
The rank of major will sit easily upon
him: he was commando Of one nf the
crack military companies which In
Washington are an Ganic part of the
school system. and ne was a good one.
He has himself in perfect control. which
is the first requisite for man who is
to command others.
Mr.. Pullman believes that there is no
good and sufficient reason why a police
man and a citizen should not understand
each other, why they should not work
in complete harmony for the good OF tn"
city they both live in; why they should
not know each Uthcr. and. especially.
why a policeman should not he courteous
and helpful to all corners who may ap-
ply to him for assistance.
There is ono problem in Washington

discussing the department. A mass OF
tourists come to Washington every year.

IN my mind, why he should not boost

and believe he can do it by seeing to
IT that all strangers receive courteous
treatment Whenever they apply to him.
After brief experience in the ad-
Vertising business. Mr.. Pullman be-
came full-fledged reporter on a local
newspaper and in that capacity did
little police reporting" That was
the beginning OF his interest in police
departments as such. and in sociologi-
cal problems in general. For several
years Mr.. Pullman was associated with
Clifford Pinchot in the government
forest service as chief of the office
OF Information and there continued his
sociological studies and writings. Re-
Gently he has been writing series
OF syndicated articles for newspapers
on the work of the various depart
ments of the government. and in the
meantime has found time to visit
nearly all of the large cities of the
country and to study their police de-
partments from sociological view
point.
While he has not had practical ex-
peTlcnCe along his new line of en-
deavor. Pullman does not come to his
new job wholly unequipped. ON the
other hand. the public announcement
of his appointment. issued by Com
missioner Louis T. Brownlow. plainly
indicates that other conside rations en-
tered into his selection. The state
ment said:
Mr.. Pullman is a man of the high
