The Darmstaedter und National

This outstanding manifestation Of
Germany's readiness to pull herself

as an indication other reservoirs Of

Further evidence Of Germany's de-
termination to mend her own ills was

their account Of how the United

FiUe Are DrOUned
In Kentucky Flood
WICKERSHAM BODY
OFFERS INDICTMENT
OF POLICE SYSTEMS
Brands Them as General Fall
ure'; Political Corruption
Gets Chief Blame

washington, Aug. 1.-(P)-A blanket
indictment Of police forces Of the
country as a general failure" was
handed down Saturday by the Wick
ershan commission.
In its eighth report to President
Hoover, the commission charged that
that major criminals in almost every
tenn were shot through with graft and
incompetence and too often were
under the direct control Of dishonest
politicians.
It asserted without qualification
that Major criminals in almost every
large community are well known to
the police, but, by reason of the sin
lister influence exerted by corrupt
politicians over the chief and his
force, are allowed to continue their
criminal careers"
The report concluded, in short, that
defects In present police administra-
ton too generally leave the citizen
helpless In the hands of the criminal
class"
Six major charges we're brought.
They follow in brief:
/. 1.-THE chief evil lies In the inse-
cure, short term of service of the
chief or executive head of the police
force and in his being subject. while
in office, to the control of politicians
in the discharge Of his duties
2. THE second outstanding evil of
such poor police administration is
the lack OF competent. efficient and
honest patrolmen and subordinate Of
ficers."
g. THE third great defect is
the lack OF efficient communication
systems whereby intelligence Of the
commission Of crime and descriptions
of the criminals may be quickly
spread over a wide territory and as
part Of that. the necessary equipment
in motors to pursue traces Of the
criminals making their escape"
4. The we'll known and oft-re-
peated alliance between criminals
and corrupt politicians which con-
trolls, In part, at least, where it does
not wholly do so, the police force of
our cities -. It rules the head and
every subordinate and lays a paraly-
zing hand upon determined action
against such major criminals"
s. There are too many duties
cast upon each officer and patrol
man."
A sixth charge was one Of failure
to make proper provision for the
policing OF millions Of immigrants
and Of the influx Of large numbers Of
negroes to the northern cities.
OF the cities specifically mentioned
Milwaukee was the only to re-
ceive unqualified praise.
