GOVERNING UNIFORMS
Passage Will Permit Traffic Arrests
by PIaincIothes Cops.

Loosening of the law requiring
officers to be in uniforms before
they can make arrests for motor
law violations such as speeding, OF
improper driving or parking, is pro-
vided in a bill introduced tooay in
house of representatives by Repre-
sentative j. Glenn Harris, Gary.
The bill would permit city de-
tectives in plain clothes to stop cars
and make arrests. Harris believes
regular officials are hanpered toe
much in pursuit of robbers and rum
runners by the present law.
The present stringent law was
passed two years ago to stop per-
nicious activities of horsethief de-
tectives and constables who has
made it almost impossible for de-
cent citizens to drive in the country
without fear of insult to liheir wives
or other women passengers.
Harris bill would not remove the
curb on horsethief deterctives.
