from the public, should be carefully
selected, the FBI report emphasized
They should not only be well-versed
in what police actions should be
taken on each complaint but should
be unusually tactful employees, cap
able of listening during an entire
tour of duty to the complaints OF
various citizens and giving each the
courteous service desired by the ad-
ministrative officials of the depart
ment."
The FBI also suggested making
special arrangements so that in cases
of extreme emergency, the COM
plant clerk could signal the radio
dispatcher to listen in on the call
and start cars on the way to the
crime scene without delay.
In all cases, the FBI said, a COM
plant memorandum should be made.
In on-criminal complaints, such as
barking dogs, Growing roosters and
noisy radios, O. time stamp on the
memorandum showing that the
radio car had attended to the COM
plant would be sufficient record.
But in all criminal complaints, the
FBI report added, the complaint
memorandum should be followed
by an offense report which would
be made a part of the departments
statistics.
If the complaint Is considered un-
founded, the report explained, the
offense report should carry an ex-
PLANTATION from the investigating
officer to justify the unfounded
classification.
The use of the police teletype

Bureau of Criminal Records, Stats
tical Bureau, Traffic Violations Bu-
reau, Accident Prevention Bureau,

Theft Squad, Pawn Inspectors Of
flee and in the precincts.
Instead of this variety of records,
the FBI recommended keeping re-
ports in the various bureaus and
squads at minimum. The FBI ex-
perts proposed a record bureau
which would have on file a complete
record of each alleged offense or
complaint involving the loss, theft
or destruction of property or in
jury to persons. All progress re-
ports, signed statements, photo
graphs, correspondence and other
material on individual cases would
he kept in the record bureau.
AL traffic records and arrest re-
ports also would be maintained in
the central record bureau.
The FBI experts warned that en-
ployes of the bureau should be well
trained to give service. If police
officers are not given prompt serv-
ice, it was said, there would be an
immediate tendency toward decen-
tralizing the reports again.
The FBI also proposed moving the
radio dispatchers from the tenth
precinct to police headquarters to
develop a close connection between
clerks taking crime complaints and
dispatchers speeding the word to
radio cars.

| the information obtained from other
cities In order to work out the de-
tails of the proposed improvements
which he recommended in general
to Commissioner Young.
Maj. Barrett said it may be neces-
sary to ask for an immediate ap-
preparation of funds to carry out
the proposed improvements. At the
moment, he said, he has no definite
idea of how much money will be
required for this work.
He said he was certain, however
that it will be necessary to recon-
mend at least one captain, two
lieutenants and possibly two serg-
eants for supervisory work once the
central complaint room he proposes
is established. These officers will be
in addition to the present force, he
explained, and will have to be ap-
pointed.
FBI System to Be Model.
The proposed system, he said, will
conform as far as practical with
that now in use by the FBI land
which has the approval of the Com
mittee on Uniform Crime Reports
of the International Association of
Chiefs of Police"
Il intend to expedite this work
in every possible way with the
avowed purpose of making our sys-
tenn of handling crime complaints
and reports the equal of any now
in use anywhere" he said.
Maj. Barrett explained that under
the present system, when a person
wants to report crime, he calls
National 1000 and is then switched
to the precinct where the crime
occurred. There. the information is
taken and if radio lookout is de-
sirable, the precinct then notifies
the dispatcher who puts the lookout
on the air.
With the development of police
radio and the later development of
two-way radio" he declared, there
was given to police authorities an
instrument for speedy response to
reported crime; and enabled the
police to respond to a complaint
within a fraction of the time that
was formerly necessary.
Il feel that our system of police
communication is geared to out
moded practices, and that we should
properly gear it to the facilities
which we now have available.
ut is my opinion that this speed
factor can best be put to use by a
revision of our entire system of re-
ceiving crime reports and COM
plants; and I feel that the activi-
ties of the Police Department may
be more accurately reflected by
adopting, with such necessary modi-
fications, the recommended crime
reporting procedures of the FBI."

experts pointed out that at present

would be reduced to transmitting
descriptions of missing persons,
stolen property, wanted persons and
stolen cars as well as administra-
tive orders, under the FBI proposal.
At present the Statistical Bureau
draws almost all it's information on
cases for police records from the
teletype. Under the FBI proposal
this information would come from
offense reports made in quintupli-
cate.
The FBI suggested supplementing
information on the teletype with a
daily printed bulletin to all men,
bers of the force as well as to near
by departments. Maj. Barrett said
such a. bulletin used to be distrib-
uted here.
The FBI experts also suggested a
number of technical changes to
eliminate. duplicating paper work
and to streamline the reporting and
recording systems.

Two Held in 100000
Building SwindIe
OF 40 Churches
by the Asseeiofsd Press

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. IL. - A
postal fraud case-in which Postal
Inspector George Sadler said 40
churches in five States were "sys-
tematically Swindled" of 5000, 900
was disclosed here with the Federal
Court arraignment of a consulting
engineer of now defunct Philadel-
phia construction company.
At the same time, Mr.. Sadler an
nounced that Howard l.. Clements.
"a, former president OF the firm, had
been arrested In Miami, Fla, and
held in $4,000 bail for removal to
Philadelphia on charges of mail
fraud and conspiracy.
Edward r. Mendenhall, 81, former
employe Of the General Engineering
& Construction Co., was held by
United States Commissioner Norman
j. Griffin in $4,000 bail in Philadel-
phia yesterday for grand jury action
on charges of mail fraud and con-
spiracy.
In one instance, Mr.. Sadler told
Mr.. Griffin, Clements spent more
than $4,000 in funds raised by church
members for edifices that were never
constructed.
Mr.. Sadler said church congrega-
tions had been victimized by the
construction company in Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey, Missouri, Georgia,
Illinois, and the District of Column
bia. Most of the churches were at
tended by Negroes.
The postal inspector testified that
Clements travelled about the country
addressing officials of churches on
the need for new buildings. He would
suggest plans for raising funds. be-
ginning with ground-breaking
ceremony.
At such ceremonies, he continued.
Clements would deliver an appeal
for the church's need, then step for
ward to contribute his own check
for $500 "just to start the ball roll
ling"
in one case, Sadler said enthusi-
astic church members contributed
$4,000 on the spot toward the cost
of . new building.
