TO FIGHT
 ANARCHY

LOS ANGELES, July 24- A na' tioual police force operated as a sep crate and distinctive branch of the Federal government. possessed with funds sufficient to prosecute the most relentless investigations and removed from the realm os politics IS the ideal agency by which the United StateS can combat radicaliSm, is the opinion of John L. Butler. Chief of Police of Los Angeles who has just returned from q conference of Pacific Coast chiefs of police at San Francisco where the looming menace of anarchy was discussed.
 "ThiS national police department should be strong enough numerically to cope with any situation, backed with a sufficient appropriation to un' dcrtake a determined campaign again st destiuctioniStS and should be em- powered by national legislation to call upon. and if necessary to direct the activities oi any local authority" de- clareS Chief Butler.
 "The national police force which the beSt-informed police officials now favor should be directed by experienc' ed detectives not politicians. It should never be used for political purposes nor for or against labor or capitol and should never become involved in their differences. The organization should be one to which could be reported fo" proper inquiry any suspicious acts O: persons coming to the notice of city county or state authorities, civic or ganizations or individuals, in other words. it should be a centralized clear ing house for data for the protection of our people and industries against anarchy or radicalism."
