BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG.

Death has always looked the
other way when Capt. Lord Louis
Mountbatten was at sea. Though
his ships have been mined and
torpedoed and sunk beneath him,
he has escaped uninjured.
1t might be luck. It might be
his skill. His wife thinks perhaps
it is the medal of st. Christopher
he always wears to keep him safe.
She tries to be philosophical as q
naval officers wife should be. but
she sees to it that the cousin of the
King of England never puts to sea
without the medallion of the saint
of travel.
She feels things" and half be-
lieves that If anything ever hap
pened to her husband she would
know it before official word came to
her.
Many women have" she said.
Leaves for New Command.
Her husband left today to take
command OF H. M. S. Illustrious,
the British aircraft carrier now un-
dergoing repairs in American
waters.
Lady Mountbatten will see him
occasionally until the ship is ready
to put to sea again.
But once it does" she said yes
terday, he just disappears.
She said 1t quietly. 1t Is an old
story to her-those disappear
ances". She's been a naval of1icer's
wife since 1922 when Lord Mount
batten brought his attractive, blue
eyed bride to America on their
honeymoon.
Il think when you're married to
a naval officer" she explained, you
get very well trained to be philo-
sophical"
More than once, Lord Mount
batten has been rumored dead but
his lady never listens to rumors.
All the wives are like that, she
said. AS q wife, she knows just
how the 1owliest midshipman's
bride feels.
"No More Than Necessary"
Then, there's a training that goes
further back. It's the training
every little British girl gets, not to
show her feelings, mot to cry more
than is necessary, as Lady Mount
batten puts it.

almost every respect the suggestions
made by the special Schultz Con-
gressional Committee which investi-
gated the Police Department here
this summer.
The Schultz group had called for
tightening of the vagrancy laws;
establishment of a strong pickup
squad; abolition OF the coronor's
office and substitution of the post
of medical examiner; compulsory
retirement for officers over 60; es-
tablishment of a police training
school Of high standards which can
didates for promotion would have to
attend; assignment of an inspector
to night duty; change in the
present system of assigning police
to social functions; attendance by
more local police at the F. B. I.
school and the relieving of police
men from clerical duties in the de-
partment.
The Commissioners committee,
however, did not follow in its en-
tirety the Schultz committee recon-
mendation concerning promotions.
The congressional group had been
critical of the Civil Service method
Of promoting police. The Commits
sioners' committee made no recon-
mendations for radical departures
from the present system.

precincts, such as the system fol-
lowed in the Milwaukee training
school, where, during each week
of the course, between the hours
Of 4 and 8 pm, students spend
two nights patrolling a beat with
an experienced patrolman, two
nights with a squad car and one
night in the station with the desk
sergeant to become familiar with
department records, routine and
policy. with a discussion at the be-
ginning of the next following morn
ing session Of the patrolman's ex-
periences on the beat or squad car
and answers by the instructor to
any questions that may arise.
'In-Service" Program Asked.
That an "in-service" training pro-
gram be established in the academy
for all members of the department.
whereby each omcer below the
grade of captain shall be required
to go to school once each week at.
a regularly assigned class period,
regardless Of his length Of service.
Glasses would be held for late night
men at $50 am, for the early night
shift at 1:30 pm. and for the day
shift at 4:30 pm.
The committee said the plan for
this "in-service" training in the
Milwaukee Police Department is as
follows: Each week a lesson plan
is prepared by the director of the
training school which specifically
covers the material to be presented.
1t is then taken up with the chief
of police for analysis or any neces-
sary changes. A tentative program
of subjects is arranged four to six
weeks in. advance After receiving
the approval of the chief, the ma
terial is discussed at a meeting OF
inspector and precinct commanders
so they may be familiar with the
material to be presented to the
students.
That monthly follow-up report
for probationary patrolmen be made
out each month during the proba-
tionary period beginning with the
month following the off1cer's grad
uation from the academy. That the
probationary period for rookie po-
licemen be three years instead of
one and that the police chief, upon
recommendation by the concerned
precinct and district commanders,
have authority to drop from the
roles inefncient probationers.
Trial Power Recommended
That precinct commanders have
authority, similar to the powers
granted to Army company COM
manders under the 104th Article OF
War, to try men for discourtesy and
minor offenses, without reference to
the Police Trial Board; to impose
punishments therefore, such as
light fines and assignment to extra
duty beyond working hours, pro-
vided that in any such case where
the offender deems the punishment
unjust he shall have the right of

Lady Mountbotten Attributes
Husbands Luck to Medal
Tokes Philosophical Attitude Toward
Novo Disasters Involving Kings Kin

In moments Of emergency she
has found that a great help, but
she confesses that If she hadn't
been busy every minute she would
have worried a lot more about the
man who cleared the English chan
mel of German destroyers, shelled
Benghazi and fought at Crete and
Norway.
She started being more than the
wife of an English lord and mother
Of his two children after Munich.
Three years ago, am ashamed
to say, wouldn't have known what
to do in an emergency except take
care of my children" she said.
She began the work that has now
earned her certificates in first aid,
home nursing, gas treatment and
driving. She did her hospital train
ing. 1t wasn't merely her royal con-
nections that won her the presi-
dency of the London division of the
st. John Ambulance Brigade, which,
for the duration Of the war. has
Joined hands with the British Red
Cross.
Without the thousands of semi
trained workers, women like herself,
who had just gotten their training
certificates, Britain would have
never gotten through the last win
ter, she said. adding that as it was
I'VE just squeaked through"
Thanks America for Aid.
At ease with the reporters she
met at the national headquarters of
the American Red Cross. Lady
Mountbatten, who wears the blue
and white uniform of her service,
said frankly that help from America
has had a lot to do with keeping up
British morale.
She talked of the British girls, not
out Of their teens, who have been
delivering babies in shelters during
the raids. She spoke of her graft
tude to the American Red Cross that
no request for supplies has yet been
refused.
She spoke of the English people
who know they have to f1ght theiI
own war"
She didn't hurry the press con.
ference, but after the reporters were
gone and she had made a quick
swing around the building, shl
rushed to her car.
Lady Mountbatten had a date-s
quiet farewell dinner with her hus-
band.

appeal to the trial board. The COM
mittee said this recommendation
was made to increase the authority
of the precinct commanders.
That lectures by members of the
F. h. I. be provided for the two
advanced courses and the "in-serv-
ice" training course to be estab-
lished in the academy and that
arrangements be made for more
lectures by F. B. I. men than are
at present provided in the existing
curriculum of the present training
school.
That policemen be permitted to
continue to serve papers of the
Alcoholic Control Board, subpoenas
and zoning notices, but that the
practice of having policemen dis
tribute auto permit cards be dis
continued.
Parole Procedure Suggested.
That application for parole be
submitted by the attorney for or a
friend Of the prisoner concerned
and be forwarded to the Parole
Board through the police chief and
the general superintendent of penal
institutions for recommendations to
the Parole Board.
In its general conclusions the COM
mittee said it believed the Police
Department is now undermined,
but it made no recommendations for
the number of men to be added. It
said the Detective Bureau should be
re-organized to promote efficiency,
but said it had not had opportunity
TO study the bureau and therefore
made no recommendations on its
reorganization.
The committee recommended that
IN cases where it might become
necessary to give q man a rank
higher than that provided by law,
legal authority for such designations
'oe obtained and that all acting
positions be abolished.
Schultz Suggestions Followed.

to sell tickets of any kind and be
prohibited from engaging in any
activity outside of police matters
while on duty and in uniform.
That the license fees for places
are furnished for purposes other
than the direction of traffic and
handling of crowds outside thereof
be increased sufficiently to reim-
burse the District for the pay OF
the officers assigned to such details.
That no officer can be detailed to
undercover work during the first
two years of his service unless such
detail is specifically authorized by
the commissioners.
That civilians perform all clerical
assignments in the Police Depart
ment except those performed by
station clerks and members of the
Traffic and Detective Bureaus.
That two men be assigned to
scout cars in all cases. Such an

tween pm. and 8 am, and that
