PriUate Talks
OUer Phone are
Taboo for Police

There are to be no more private
conversations over telephones at po-
lice headquarters. according TO in
formation obtained Friday night.
The reason for this it IS said. is
that all telephones in the depart
ment have been tapped"
1t is charged that members of
the department have been giving in
formation 70 inquirers from without
the precincts without first consult
ing the chief Of police, telling things
TO the inquiring public that the chief
himself was not aware OF in the
least
1t is said that the chief does not
like this and in order 10 keep in
formed as 10 what is going on in
his department he is said TO have
ordered all the telephones in the
department tapped" so that he may
cut in on any conversation that
may happen to be going on.
So. hereafter. if a patrolman or
a desk sergeant or any other mem
bc'' ot The department, hears u click
while he is cOnversing he can make
up his mind that the privacy of his
conversation has been interrupted.
and that the ear OF a ranking head
of the department may be glued 10
a receiver of some other telephone
in the department and that the ear
of this ranking head is taking in
