Undismayed by published reports
revealing opposition Of councilmen
to its proposed increase of fifty
men to the police force, board Of
safety members will conduct a cam
paign ito sell city council that the
need exists" Ernest l.. Kingston,
president Of the board, said today.
We're going before the council

black and white to prove Police Chief
Fikhoff can not adequately protect
the city against criminals with the
present police force Kingston de-
gclared.
Expresses Confidence
II have high opinion Of the
men on this body and believe they
will grant our request, if we can
prove to them need is real"
Replying to criticisms Of council
men that too many police have been
assigned to special details, many of
them regarded as soft snaps,
Kingston said the special details in
clude essential work. IL the board
had funds at its disposal, women
clerks could be hired for some of
the positions, according to Kingston.
The board Of safety does not in
tend to charge the banks guarded
by special police, Kingston said.
Mayor Shank proposed this idea sew
raj weeks ago. but said today he
mad abandoned it.

Joseph NJ. Freedman, counsel for
Gerald Chapman, under sentence of
death, last night announced that a
second reprieve was virtually agreed
upon by States Attorney Alcorn and
himself. The purpose of the pro
posed stay of execution is to spare the
condemned mans life long enough to
permit the United States courts to set
tie the point whether the State has a
right TO hang him before the eXpira-
ton of the % years Federal sentence
hanging over the prisoner.
Mr. Freedman said the State attor-
ney told him at a preliminary confer
ence today that he would not object to
bandits life beyond December 3, the
time now set for his death. While the
length of the extension was not dis
cussed, Mr.. Freedman said, counsel
for Chapman win propose delay of
six months at a second conference on
the subject to be held in Mr.. Alcorn's
office Monday.
Chapman was convicted of the muir
der of ii policeman at New Britain,
Conn. The first reprieve was granted
by Gov. Trumbull last June, on ap-
plication of the States attorney to
stay the execution until the Supreme
Court of Connecticut could act upon
his appeal for new trial.
