Gas Supplies Going
To Front Hijacked
On Paris Streets
By WADE WERNER.

PARIS, Dec. 4 Delayed .-Gaso-
line has been hijacked at the point
of a gun on Paris streets as liquor
was hijacked in the United States
during prohibition.
Pilfering of vitally needed Amer
lean Army supplies, particularly ra-
tions and gasoline, reached such
proportions that it seriously men,
aced military operations.
So battle-hardened Americans
who chased the Germans out of
France and fought them on their
own soil are taking hand in a new
war well behind the present front
lines,
1t is a war against pilfering of
supplies en- route from ports or
beaches to the battlelines and the
shock troops" who are beginning to
win it are new military police bat
tal1ons composed largely of officers
and men who have recovered from
wounds but are not fit for heavy
combat.
Supply Trains Guarded.
They are guarding supply trains
rolling hundreds of miles to the
front.
1t has been found that men who
themselves suffered shortages at the
front as the result of pilfering now
are the best Watchdogs for the sup
ply trains. Every train departing
from a beachhead or port for thc
front now is personally conducted
by enough of these MPs to frustrate
the various devices used by pilferers.
Hardboiled, they are given credit
for cutting thefts down to manage
able proportions Once these thefts
had reached point where black
market operators got almost a big
ger share of some trainloads than
did the front-line troops.
Curiously, the Army has learned
that it also needs battle-hardened
men where policing jobs call for spe-
cial tact and understanding.
A considerable number of these
new MPS from the front lines also
are assigned to Paris, where 'front.'
line soldiers naturally gravitate on
leave. Because the MPs themselves
are experienced in battle strain.
wounds and muddy boredom, they
know how to handle these men who
are eager for relaxation.
Black Market Extensive.
The black market, however.
provides most of the headaches.
There are more angles to it than
legs to a centipede Bootleg cur
rency is one. The franc officially is
valued at so to the dollar. But
bootleggers are willing to give four
or flve times that much, while black
marketers are eager to trade francs
for American cigarettes, soap, cof-
fee, candy and foodstuffs.
| AS an example of comparative
values, hired a bicycle taxi for
what in New York would have been
50-cent ride. I was given the
choice of paying 200 francs (s4 or
two packages of cigarettes. A cup
OF American coffee in a Paris cafe
costs so francs (S1.20).
ALI this Is tremendous tempta-
ton and opportunity for wholesale
black marketerS whose operations
are runningdnto millions of dollars.
A curious sidelight is that 500
franc notes brought in by Allies
troops and circulating since D day
already are getting heavy competi-
ton from counterfeit notes. One
gang was exposed when it tried to

City Council
Puts Officer
in Dog House

EAST DETROIT-Probation-
airy Patrolman Albert Pollard,
who frankly admitted 10 mem
bers of the city council Monday
night that he had INDUCED in
a few drinks prior TO reporting
for duty on Oct. 81, was almost
literally in the dog house today.
Suspended by Police Chief Ly-
man Eckhardt for conduct UNI
becoming TO an officer" the en-
bryo policeman was hailed be-
fore the city fathers at Monday
nights session on his own APP
peal for a hearing from the
chiefs suspension order.
AS a result of the testimony
presented at that meeting the
council ordered Pollard TO serve
an extra siX-month probation
airy term and that his activities
henceforth be confined TO those
of dog catcher.
At one stage of the hearing a
vote on a dismissal order APP
peared almost certain after
Councilman Adolph Arens Of
fered a motion for the officers
discharge from the force. AL
though Councilman William
Ryan seconded the dismissal mo-
ton he later withdrew his sup
port and voted with his col
leagues, Theodore Sherman and
Lee Burnett in ordering the
lesser penalty. Arens dissented
on that roll-call vote.
According to Chief Eckhardt
and Police Sergt. William Lordy
who were ordered TO testify be-
fore the council, Pollard was
found TO be in a condition unfit
for duty one hour after he had
started out on traffic patrol
assignment Saturday evening.
He was sent home forthwith
and his suspension followed al
most Immediately.
The accused probationary Of
ficer told the council members
that he had taken several drinks
early Saturday afternoon but
had not INDUCED after reporting
for duty at 6 pm.
Councilman Arens, who fav-
ored the SITTER penalty, said
that he felt an officer was en-
titled to no special consideration
for an offense for which, he said,
an ordinary man or woman
driver might have been SUBJ
jected to court action as we'll as
a possible fine and Jail sentence.
While Pollard, during his pro-
stationary term had devoted
much of his time to the dog
Warden's bureau, he had also
served as regular spare Off
Ger on frequent occasions. Sat
urday night he was driving a
city-oWned scout car on traffic
patrol along Nine Mile road just
prior to being ordered off-duty
because of his alleged condition.
