Spoils Days Recalled
By Retiring Detective

A veteran Montgomery
County policeman who began
his career when getting on
the force was harder than run
ming for Congress" announced
his retirement yesterday.
He is Capt. Gassaway Wood
row Linthicum, Sc, who has
been chief of the county de-
tective bureau for the last 10
years. He joined the force as
a private in 1881.
As a police rookie, Capt. Lin
thicum was a member of a 81
man police department. Today
it boasts a duty roster of nearly
300 men.
He recalled how appoint
ments to the department were
difficult to obtain nearly three
decades ago, before the merit
system was put into effect. The
appointments were considered
prize plums of the political
patronage flourishing in the
county at that time.
Iu l941, after serving as a
private at Rockville, Bethesda
and Silver Spring, he was pro-
NOTED to corporal and became
a member of the county's first
detective squad of four men.
Before that, however, he had
survived a political storm in the
mid-1930S when a new political
faction gained power and fired
half the police force. That was
the so-called Fusion ticket of
1884.
