moral character of applicants and
the provisions of the law that they
must have direct charge or super

In New Hanover county, he said,

Points to Law

called attention to the stringent
laws IN the state regarding prosti-

Dr. Knox referred to similar

The traffic exhibit is part of a
display assembled by the bureau to
show what police are up against in
functioning under war conditions.
Along with it are the gas and air.
raid defense setups. AS protection
against gas, the police wear an over
all garment made of an oiled fiber,
gloves of the same material, rubber
boots, steel helmets and one-piece
gas masks. Oscar the Dummy, who
has been doubling for murder VIC
tins at the F. B. l, training school
for years, now is diked out in the

The air raid communications sys-
tenn includes a portable two-way
radio set called a walkie-talkie that
is used by air raid wardens: tele-.
type, and a siren record whose whine
can be heard for blocks. 81
A group of F. B. I. officers who
studied London policing several
months ago set up the exhibit which
today was opened to the public. It
is also being used for instruction
purposes at the National Police
Academy. which this week is con-
ducting retraining course for sew

Tropical Storm Moves
In Northern Florida;
Force Diminishes
Roin Squalls and Winds
Hit Areas in Georgia
And Alabama
"A. P. Wirephoto.
By the Associated Press.

ATLANTA, Oct. IA swiftly sub
siding tropical storm blew inland in
Northwestern Florida early today,
bringing gales in the Apalachicola-
Carrabelle area and spreading rain
squalls and strong winds into ex-
treme Southwestern Georgia and
Southeastern Alabama.
At 8 am. it was centered around
Tallahassee, Fla, where winds up to
81 miles an hour were reported.
Communication systems were upset
as it crept up into Georgia with
diminishing force. Gusty winds at
Apalachicola also reached 54 miles,
although the sustained force was
only 49,
The Jacksonville Weather Bureau
said the storm would continue to
move slowly North. and small craft
along the Atlantic Coast from Jack
sonville to Cape Hatteras were
warned to exercise caution for the
next "a hours.
The Jacksonville bureau at $50
am. ordered all storm warnings
down and said the disturbance
would lose force over land. but
warned that strong winds could be
expected for several hours over a
considerable area.
Damage did not appear to be
heavy either along the coast or in
land, but some trees were blown
down. some telegraph wires were out
and the pecan crop suffered light
loss in the Thomasville, Ga, area.
One small building lost its roof at
Cairo, Ga, but there were no i'm
mediate reports of deaths or serious
injuries.
Telephone and telegraph lines
were down on all sides of Talla-
hassee, cutting off Florida's capital
city. Communications companies
reported many trees had been blown
across wires. along the Florida
Georgia line both east and west of
Tallahassee
The Weather Bureau advised Army
officials at Fort Benning, Ga, 200
miles north of Apalachicola, that
winds there probably would not ex-
ceed 40 miles an hour. The forecast
for Northern Georgia and Alabama
was for light winds and -drizzles to be
succeeded in a few hours by more
fair weather.
