POLICE PROBE
FUND ASKED
'Payoff' in Two Murder
Cases and HoIdup Are
Alleged.

BIZ nited Press
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 4.-Deplor-
ing the "graft-ridden condition Of
the Los Angeles police department"
the police commission Tuesday asked
city council for a permanent fund
to conduct secret Investigations
within the department. In present.
ing the proposal, Commissioner VIII
lard G. Thorpe compared the Los
Angeles department with that of
Philadelphia before the era OF Cen
eraI Smedley Butler.
The commission voted to request
an unlimited fund for the investi-
cation.
Information on alleged payoffs to
police officers in at least two IN
solved murder cases was in the
hands of state authorities here to"
day.
District attorneys deputies an
nounced that an additional state
ment had been made by Harry B.
Macdonald, self-confessed bootleg
ger and payof man.
Meetings Are Described
Deputies Percy Harmon and
David Clark, investigating MacDon-
AIDS charges that more than a score
of police officers had taken tribute
from him for protection of his illegal
business, said he gave us leads IN
the murder cases upon which we
now are working"
Macdonald was quoted as descrlb-
ing meetings in his Seventeenth
street camouf1aged bath house" OF
asserted gunner and police officers
whom he overheard discussing var1-
GUS "unsolved murders"
Macdonald told the deputies that
names of guilty criminals frankly
vere mentioned in the conferences,
along with the sums they were al
legged to have paid police to beat
the rap"
Saws HOldup Squared"
Harmon said Macdonald partly
ocrrobora.sed and gave additional in
formation to charges of zeke Hayes,
convict. who told a grand jury that
the police received large sums to
square" the $4,000 boldup OF a
Pacific National bank messenger a
year ago.
While the district attorneys in
vestigators continued to check de
tails of MacDonald's charges, fed
eraI prohibition officers and assist
ant United States Attorney William
Gallagher held a conference.
Afterward it was announced the
reports of the federal investigation,
which led to MacDonald's arrest,
would be turned over to the district
attorney if he wished. The reports
involve sixty-two police officers.

STATE CHARGED
WITH NEGLECT
Professor Scores Emphasis
on State Highways.

Indiana is "crazy" on state roads
and neglects local roads which are
more important" Professor Ben H.
Petty Of the highway engineering
school of Purdue university, told
Rotary Club members at the Clay
pool, Tuesday.
while Indiana has stressed the
necessity of arterial highways, the
local roads, which are used by the
mass of taxpayers, are neglected"
Professor Petty said.
Marion county's 1,O51 miles of
county and township roads are of
as great importance to the county
as state highways, Petty declared.
And yet" he added, the county
appropriates but $4,000 a year for
their upkeep-only 70 cents per mile
per day.
TOO little attention is given the
$4,000 miles of purely local roads
that serve to bring the farmer to
his market and these roads are
given but little attention"
