Surge Of Police Applicants
Shuts Off Physical Waivers

The Metropolitan Police force
now has enough job applicants so
the District Commissioners are
disinclined to waive applicants
physical defects.
The city heads rejected seven
rejected waivers yesterday. Com
missioner F. Joseph Donohue OBJ
served that the department now
has enough recruits. In recent
months, during q dearth of appli-
cations that prompted a special
out-of- town recruiting drive, the
Commissioners were overlooking
such disqualifying defects as
scanty teeth.
Police Supt. Robert v. Murray
pointed out that the force now has
100 applicants. OF these, IS have
passed their physicals but have yet
to get their character examina-
tions. Thirty-f1ve have received
mo examinations Of any kind.
The big element in the reduced
need for recruits was Congress- cut
of current police funds to the point
where 206 authorized jobs must
be kept vacant this year. There
are only az vacancies now that can
be filled with available funds.

Fighting General of S YeorsAgo
Goes Back to School as Sergeant
Former Commando
Held High Post in
Koshmir Army
By Richord RODGERS

A sergeant at Fort Belvoir, Va,
had one Of the fastest comedowns
in military history. He used to
be a brigadier general.
He is Sergt. 1/c Russell K.
Haight, who five years ago had
1000 troops behind him and an
enormous mustache in front of
him. Now he's shorn of his COM
mand and largely shorn on the
upper lip.
The sergeant's saga would strain
a pulp writer on a jag. He was a
Canadian commando at Dieppe-
got out unscratched. He trans
ferred to the American Army in
England and shipped back to the
States for pilot training. Then
the pilot program folded under
him.
So he hired out as instrument
man for a construction project in
Afghanistan. He quit that to hire
