teeney, state SAFETY dlfecCOr,
when asked by The Times to
comment on the crime situa-
ton in Indiana.
The square jawed state police
head, once the nemesis of oppon-
ents when he played center on a
crack Notre Dame football team, did
rot pull his punches" today as he
fatty asserted that he was being
hindered in his efforts to build up
the state police force.
while outrages like the escape
of Dillinger from Crown Point jail
are disgusting" said Mr.. Finney,
they are not more obnoxious than
any political setup which would tend
to undermine my efforts to make the
state police force an organization
capable of dealing with gangSters
efficiently.
Il have been told that unless 1 am
careful, I may lose my job in my
efforts to accomplish my objective
in establishing the sort of state po-
lice force Indiana must have" Mr..
Feeney continued. Il doubt that,
but even if I did, I'd have the salts
faction of knowing that my motives
are sincere and above political eX-
pediency."
AssaiIs Selfish Politicians
Mr.. Feeney declared that much of
the personnel of the state police
force, previous to his assuming
charge, March Is, 1888, was used for
political purposes, whenever deemed
necessary, by those in charge. He
stated, that since assuming office,
he has been forced to discipline
some men for their violation OF the
no politics" rule.
1T is hard to blame individuals
on the force" said Mr., Feeney.
when I have charged them with
disobeying the rules of the force,
they stated that they had received
orders to disregard our rules, other
orders having come from men OF
political influence whose motives
are activated more by selfishness
than efficiency.
The state police force has always
been more or less of political foot
ball." said Mr.. Feeney. But on
taking office the Governor promised
me and the members of the force
that politics would be taken out of
the department and I took the Job
solely on the understanding that
orders were to come only from the
Governor or myself.
Backed Up by McNutt
The Governor always has backed
me up in this program and I am at
a loss to understand why meddlers
will try to overrule the Governor
own orders, thereby putting my
men 'on the spot and lowering the
efficiency of the department.
Older members of the force have
told me that under the old system,

a good school for fellows out of the
