Frisco Will Loose Negro
Policemen After October 1st

SAN FRANCISCO,-There are
14OO police officers in San Fran
cisco today, but only five are
Negroes.
And after October 1 there will be
exactly one Negro policeman on
the force-Richard Finis. Yet San
Francisco's Negro population is
crowding the $4,000 mark. Resi-
dents in the Fillmore district don't
want to be pushed around by any
policeman-but they would rather
deal with Negro officers.
PASSING THE BUCK
Deputy Police Chief Michael
Riordan seemed unconcerned when
quried by The Daily Peoples World
today on the 1400 to 1 ratio.
1--WE take whatever the civil SER
vice commission sends us. We have
nothing to do with personel,"
Riordan said.
He added that maybe the char
ter required that a policeman has
to be resident of the city for
five years eliminates most Negroes"
Prior to the war there wasn't
one Negro on the San Francisco
police force.
Captain Michael Gaffery, secre-
tary of the police commission, said
the reason for so few Negroe
policemen is that more don't apply
for exams"
The newcomers, according to
Gaffery, are ruled out by the resi-
dence requirement and the old
timers by the high school educa-
ton requirement.
Gaffery neatly ducked a question
on whether Negroes had the dis
tinct impression they wouldn't be
welcome on the force, and there
fore don't apply, with an "I don't
know"
Police Commissioner ]. Wesley
Howell said, "we'd like to have
some more Negro policemen"
Howell admitted that in other
cities where there is a substantial
Negro population there is a higher
percentage of Negroes on the police
force than in San Francisco.
"We aren't up to our full COM
plement at ALL" he said. "It just
seems to be that neither whites
nor Negroes want to become po-
licemen."

Polio Exhibit
Depicts Critical
Signs of Disease

Aids to diagnosis and care OF
polio patients were presented
August 1922 to the nations Negro
physicians by the National Founda-
ton for Infantile Paralysis at the
opening of the Sind Annual Meet
ing of the National Medical AS
sociation in Los Angeles.
A five-panel exhibit depicts the
critical signs of the disease, tech
niques of mucel examination and a
graphic review of world occurrence
of polio. AS an aid to physicians
in diagnosing infantile paralysis,
twenty of polio's critical signs have
been reproduced in life-like minia-
ture sculptures and color films. In
cluded are the characteristic signs
which may occur in neck, back.
chest, arms and legs.
With no specific laboratory tests
to aid him, the examining physician
must depend on his experience and
judgement in diagnosing infantile
paralysis. Life-like portrayal OF
these symptoms in an exhibit
provides an excellent opportunity
TO rdoctors to familariZe them
selves with the tell-tale signs OF
the disease.
The exhibit emphasizes that early
diagnosis and immediate institution
of proper treatment have eliminat-
cd ml1ch of the crinn1inp DreViOllSlV
associated with polio. Under modern
methods of treatment, which de-
pend to a large extent on the
early and continuous use of physi-
cal therapy, doctors have reported
generally that so per cent of polio
victims recover without any handi-
caps. Approximately 20 per cent
suffer severe paralysis, another &c
per cent mild, non-handicapping
paralysis and 5 to 10 per cent OF
the victims die.
