Reading of the minutes of the last 

meeting waived. 

Committee Reports 

Treasurer's Report rendered. M/S 

That the bills he paid. Passed. 

Communications: All relative to 

OASI (See Legislative Committee Report). 

(The meeting was based on the 

report of the Board of Directors which 

was read and acted on item by item.) 

Publications Committtee (Gardner) 

Reported protests over political ads in 

our magazine. M/S that we accept political 

advertising. Tabled. 

Blood Bank Committee (Vogelsang) 

257 units of blood on hand. The recruit 

class now at the Academy donated 31 

pints. It is hoped that in the near future 

donors and those who go to donate 

but are refused will be able to get 

blood without paying the $8.50 service 

charge. 

OASI Not Wanted 

Legislative Committee (Dolan) The 

status of Social Security for policemen: 

The National Association of Manufacturers, 

Chambers of Commerce and 

organizations similar to these want to 

eliminate local and state retirement systems. 

In California AB1969 will bring 

us under OASI if we vote for it. It was 

due to the action of the Sacramento 

County Sheriff's office that this bill was 

carried. The audience being packed 

with their people and when the chairman 

of the committee called for comments 

only the pros were heard. A 


Congressman from Sacramento submitted 

HR213 which was a House Bill 

that would remove policemen's exclusion 

from OASI. When this bill went 

to the Senate, Senator Kuchel proposed 

the amendment to include California 

policemen. AB1960 and HR213 both 

passed. 

OASI Stuck New York Cops 

New York has it as full supplementation. 

They tried to get out and were 

told that it would take them seven 

years to do it. Their state constitution 

guarantees their right to belong to a 

local system but Governor Rockefeller 

has proposed a change in that law. 

OASI is bad for policemen because 

you must work to 65 and there are no 

disability provisions, t h e r e f o r e you 

either have to die or reach 65 to get 

any benefits. We should oppose it because 

it is too expensive for what we 

would get out of it and the fact that 

there are no disability provisions. 

National Conference of Police Associations 

(Dolan) 70 delegates were 

at the meeting in Houston. This meeting 

was disrupted by the passage of 

HR213. 12,000 new members bringing 

the total to 168,000. Robert Allen of 

San Antonio, Texas was elected President. 

A full report will be given as 

soon as the minutes are received. 

The NCPA has asked for an additonal 

$50.00 from each member association. 

M/S that $50.00 he sent to 

the NCPA. Passed. 

Annual Conference 

P.O.R.A.C. (Galousin) The meeting 

of the Bay Area Chapter was held 

in Stockton. Attending were Assemblyman 

Biddick and State Senator Short 

who explained the structure of committees 

in the state legislature. The 

committees which affects law enforcement 

the most is the Judiciary Committee. 

The Criminal Law is one sub-committee 

and the Civil Law the other. 

Extremists and radicals serve on the 

criminal so the laws are sometimes hard 

to explain. 

The Annual Conference of 

P.O.R.A.C. was held in Berkeley 

October 13 through 16 at the Claremont 

Hotel. The Bay Area Chapter 

underwrote the cost of the conference 

and all were asked to attend at least one 

session. Board of Directors recommended 

that we underwrite the expenses of 

our delegates. 

M/S that We concur with the Board 

and appropriate $250.00. Passed. 

Christmas Party No individually 

wrapped presents, just a show and a 

small stocking with a small toy and 

some candy for each child. Sergeant-at- 

Arms O'Brien appointed chairman. 

Two-Man Cars Favored 

Two-Man Cars----The Board of Directors 

went on record as being in favor 

of two-man cars. This subject has 

been broached to the Administration. 

They are also in favor and the problem 

is being studied. 

Retirement Committee (Dolan)--- 

Committee needs more money to operate. 

M/S that an additional $100.00 per 

month be made available to the Retirement 

Committee for expenses. Passed. 

Co-ordinating Council S. F. Police 

and Fire. Fluctuating retirement temporarily 

shelved. Next June the Council 

wants to back the retired people and in 

November all city employees will go for 

the fluctuating retirement together with 

survivors benefits. 

New Business: M/S that we pursue 

the idea of entering into a gum ball machine 

program to get revenue for the 

P.A.L. and report back to the Association. 

Passed. 

Director Harold Cole submitted his 

resignation as Director of Co. F and

The two cover pix span more than 

50 years of "bike" service by motorcycle 

officers of the SFPD. San Francisco's 

first police motorcycle is shown 

at the top (taken prior to about 1913) 

and was recently found in an album 

of the McKevitt family. 

Doing the honors in the top pie is 

Officer Edward J. McKevitt, San Francisco's 

first motorcycle officer. Officer 

McKevitt has three sons in the Department: 

Inspector Edward J . , Jr., Sergeant 

Merritt, and Patrolman Dick (on 

disability retirement).

Carl Decker, was taken some half-acentury 

later. (The new car was loaned

The national and world-wide outburst 

of juvenile punkism has thrown 

a scare into every parent who cares at 

all about his family. Who can tell what 

is behind this terrifying situation? 

Every age has had its own problems. 

Historically the young people are the 

ones who started revolutions and move 

toward changes and social reforms. In 

Medieval times the young university 

students revolutionized teaching and 

learning. Young doctors and scientists 

have effected cures and scientific progress 

undreamed of twenty years ago. 

Obviously it is no crime to be young. 

Youth Has Its Fling 

Yet on the other side of the coin 

there were the undermining influence 

of young people on entire philosophies 

and ways of life. Early in this present 

century young people dared to shorten 

bathing suits and shook their elders by 

holding hands in public. In the "Roaring 

Twenties" flaming youth set the 

country on its ear. 

Could it be that the present trend of 

lawlessness on the part of youth is a 

complete rebellion against the nebulous 

results of two world wars and the 

Atomic Age? Juvenile violence has 

never been so wide-spread and vicious 

as it is now. 

Young people have and want more 

now than they ever did. Almost every 

boy in America has access to an automobile, 

the attraction of drinking is 

probably no more or less prevalent in 

these good times than it was during 

the depression. Money is probably one 

of the digits in the strange combination. 

Most policemen are parents. They 

are parents whose children face the 

"PUNK-ISM" 

What's the answer? 

By PETER GARDNER 

same problems and situations as any 

other group of youngsters. There is no 

law of nature which commands a policeman's 

child to conform to society and 

in the hearts of many policemen there 

is a dark spot caused by the conduct of 

his children who come from so-called 

good homes. Policemen cannot be sanctimonious 

about the youth problem. 

Punks and Hoods a Menace 

With a proper accent on constitutionality, 

which is the backbone of our 

life as a free people, there could be a 

return to public support of police work 

with juveniles. There is no need to impinge 

upon the basic freedom of any 

American and yet there is a crying need 

to curb the flash flood of punks and 

hoodlums. 

Gangs who identify themselves by 

wearing distinctive garments which 

mark them as a group apart from society 

should be treated as they conduct 

themselves. If they make trouble for 

others, trouble should be made for 

them. 

A return to the old-fashioned police 

work where a well-placed shoe to the 

posterior of the young offender was 

employed. There are men who are now 

over thirty who can remember the feel 

of leather against the seat of their 

pants. Men who learned to respect the 

policeman or stand in awe if not in respect 

of what he stood for. 

Today such an act on the part of the 

police officer trying to do his job judiciously 

would bring about the noisome 

reign of chaos and law suit-itis. 

The air would fill with the cries of 

ASSOCIATION MINUTES - (from pare 3) 

Anthony Rodriguez of that company 

appointed to his place. Cole was praised 

by Chairman McKee for his service to 

the Association. 

M/S that members of the recruit 

class now in the Academy be granted 

membership in this Association for the 

rest of this fiscal year at no dues. 

Passed. 

Good of the Order: 

October meeting was Candidates 

Night and Turkey Drawing Night. 

Every effort should be made to stimulate 

attendance at every meeting. 

M/S that the meeting adjourn. 

Passed. 

Meeting adjourned at 10:20 P.M. in 

respect to the memories of our departed 

brothers. 

Respectfully submitted, 

Peter C. Gardner, Secretary 

social workers and parents who know 

that "these are really good boys"; the 

office of the County Clerk would be 

deluged with certificates of intent to 

file civil suits and the Civil Liberties 

Union would be rampant on its high 

horse. 

Tom Jefferson and his constituents 

never meant that people should run 

rough shod over the law. No, they intended 

that this would be a nation of 

law wherein all could live in peace and 

harmony. 

But sessions by session, law by law, 

assemblies and senates and the very 

Congress of the United States have 

pulled the teeth of law enforcement to 

the point that law enforcement is now 

an old lion who can no longer bite but 

must gum its opponents into submission. 

Respect Must Be Taught 

A long look should be taken into our 

system of courts and juries, particularly 

where children are concerned. Take a 

fifteen-year-old whose sole purpose at 

that time it to tell the world to go to 

Hell. Show him just how far he can go 

with this attitude. Show him that our 

property is not a target against which 

he can take out his grudge against the 

world. 

Put the shoe back on the foot of law 

enforcement. Put some teeth into the 

lion's mouth and put a little down-toearth 

common sense into the mind of 

the community. Finally, let the courts 

handle young criminals as they would 

any other criminal. Any movement of 

this type would outflank the movement 

toward violence by the young people 

and slow it down, if not stop it.

SAN FRANCISCO POLICE

The 1959 State Legislature made 

provisions for re-coding and re-org:inizing 

the Vehicle Code and the radical 

change caused quite a Hit of consternation 

among policemen. 

Probably the most noticeable change 

in the numbering of the sections. Many 

of us, who have learned the old numbers 

to the point of being able to handle 

the code pretty well, are a hit afraid 

of the new five digit numbers. It does 

seem a hit unwieldly but maybe on second 

look it will be more convenient for 

quick reference. 

Simpler Format 

Mr. Ben Miller, the manager of the 

Motor Vehicle branch office at 160 

South Van Ness Avenue, stated that 

he believes that the new format will 

prove a lot easier for all concerned. It 

will simplify finding specific sections 

as they are now in a more logical sequence 

and it will just be a case of our 

learning to work with the new numbering. 

Director of Traffic Zaragoza issued 

the followng statement: "The plans for 

recodifying the Vehicle Code were 

laid in 1955. The major purpose of the 

revision was to accomplish a much 

needed improvement in organization 

and the sequence of the Code." 

Code Kept Growing 

For over 20 years the scope of the 

Code's application has been widely expanded 

by the amendment process resulting 

in modification of the original 

sequence of provisions and an increase 

in the size of the book from a volume 

of less than 200 pages to one of nearly 

500 pages. 

Clarification by reorganization of the 

system of numbering sections and transfer 

of many provisions to more appropriate 

contexts had become an immediate 

necessity. 

There was an attempt to eliminate 

technical and legal terminology and 

thus make the reading of the Code simpler 

for the layman. The table of disposition 

and the table of derivation will 

he invaluable to the police officer attempting 

to learn the new section numbers. 

The Traffic Bureau throu gh the 

C.S.A.A. has printed and distributed 

cross index cards for your use. If you 

have not received one, contact the Traf - 

fic Bureau. 

New Changes Cited 

Read your new code as there are 

Some radical changes 

in '59 vehicle code 

"Now let me see .. what is that new section number?" 

Motorcycle Officer Hobert Nelson does a little brushing up on the 

new five-digit section numbers of the recently-revised Vehicle Code. 

some changes which directly affect 

your daily contact with the motoring 

public. Especially Section 22651 which 

no longer gives you the right to tow 

or store a vehicle merely because you 

have made an arrest as did 585.h.5 of 

the old code. The auto must now he 

left in the street except when it will obstruct 

traffic. 

Here are some of the changes as explained 

in General Order No. 59 of 

9/16: Sec. 22i49 - Maximum speed 

limit. (Note: This section will not become 

effective until January 1, 1960.) 

This section provides that no person 

shall drive any motor vehicle upon a 

hi ghway in excess of 65 miles per hour. 

Sections which became effective September 

19, 1959: 

New "Slow-poke" Law 

See. 22400 Minimum speed law. 

Authorizes the Department of Public 

Works to establish and post minimum 

vehicle speed limits for registered vehicles 

on the basis of engineering and 

traffic surveys. Motorists will be re-

quired to maintain the posted minimum 

speed. 

Sec. 21451 - - Pedestrians. New law 

requires pedestrians to wait on curbs of 

signal controlled intersections until all 

cars within the intersections have 

cleared. 

Sec. 21460—Highway Lanes. After 

September 28, 1959, motorists may see

Sec. 24008 - Custom Cars. New 

section prohibits operation of any passenger 

vehicle modified from its original

the roadway. (In hot-rodder terminology, 

this lowering of a car is known as 

raking.")

INCUMBENT 

(Paid Pol. Ad) 

By DICK PATTEN 

Your closest friend in the radio car 

is Mike. Look at him, he can save your 

life. This thought should make you 

give as much regard to this instrument 

as you would your own life or the life 

of your closest buddy. 

You have seen the microphone almost 

every day of your life, but have you 

had a formal introduction? If you have, 

let me renew your acquaintance. If not, 

let me introduce you. 

Mike and Little Mike 

There are two microphones in most 

radio cars. For the sake of introduction, 

let me refer to them as Mike and 

his brother, Little Mike. Mike, the most 

frequently used, is the one on the left 

and Little Mike is the one on the right. 

Mike and his brother have between 

them a control panel which has a power 

switch, volume knob, P.A. switch, 

channel switch and two indicator lights. 

Important Uses 

Mike is used for all radio transmissions 

while Little Mike is used for the 

Loudspeaker P.A. System. In order to 

use Mike correctly, the transmitter 

switch must be depressed, but care must 

be used in the depression and releasing 

of this switch as it has been known to 

stick in the depressed position, thereby 

making every word uttered in the radio 

car a matter of common knowledge. As 

well as being embarrassing to the parties 

involved, this also clutters the air and 

makes transmission by other cars impossible. 

The Power Switch: 

The power switch is the toggle switch 

on the left side of the control panel 

and is used to put power into the set. 

When the switch is in the up position, 

the set is on. 

The Squelch Knob: 

The squelch is used in order to clear 

interference and should be operated in 

the following manner. Turn the knob 

all the way to the right, wait for static, 

when the static comes through loud 

and clear, turn the knob to the left only 

as far as is necessary to cut out the 

Elect 

TOM GOSLAND 

Your Supervisor 

- Will Devote Full Time to Job - 

(Paid political ado.) 

How Mike and Little 

tatic. Do not turn the knob all the way 

to the left as your best reception is had 

by just turning the knob until the 

static clears. If the knob is turned all 

the way to the left the receiver sensitively 

is cut down. 

Channel Selector Switch: 

The radio car is equipped with two 

channels, i.e. 

Channel 1—the switch is placed in 

the up position. This is the regular 

channel and is used for all regular police 

patrol car transmissions. 

Channel 2: The switch is placed in 

the down position. This is the emergency 

channel. Channel 2 should only 

be used in the necessity of immediate 

response by headquarters or in the 

event that headquarters should direct 

you to switch to this channel. 

The P.A. Switch 

The normal position for this switch 

is in the center. To broadcast over the 

P.A. the switch is placed in the up 

position. You will receive normal transmissions 

and will be able to broadcast 

by using Little Mike, the one on the 

right. 

Benefit basketball 

game set for PAL 

On Friday, November 20, the newest 

entry into the National Industrial 

League, the A. J. Lefferdink "Investors" 

will play their first game for the 

benefit of the Police Athletic League. 

Phe game will be played against the 

Kirby Shoe Company of Los Angeles 

at the USF gym. The Investors are 

coached by Jim Walsh, a San Francisco 

standout, who starred for Stanford and 

later the Phillips Oilers. Jim Walsh's 

brother, Tom, is a policeman assigned 

to the Accident Bureau. 

These teams are made up of former 

college stars. Both teams play a brand 

of ball that has become more and more 

popular all over the country. The tickets 

will be $1.50 on a general admission 

basis. They will be on sale at Roos-Atkins 

and most of the regular box offices 

as well as available through the P.A.L. 

There will be no general ticket sale 

as there is with the ball tickets but it is 

hoped that the nature of the benefit 

will put all policemen behind the affair 

and make it the success that it deserves 

to be.

Here's athe past. Items 

have beep culled from The 

ChronicIs archives of 25, 50, 75 

and 10&years ago. 

I 1983 

SEPT. 23: Anew system of projecting 

English "supertitles" will be 

introduced by the San Francisco 

Opera for its October student, senior 

citizen and family matinee 

performances of Verdi's "La Traviata." 

The translation, in letters 

about a foot tall, will be projected 

on a screen hanging just above the 

top border over the stage. A 

spokesman for the San Francisco 

Opera said the use of super-titles is 

an experiment and there are no 

plans to use them during the regular 

subscription season. 

I 1958 

SEPT. 21: Dave Brubeck turned 

down $17,000 in round-trip trans- 

Jation and performance fees 

fohis quartet for a proposed 

SQUth African tour in January. 

"hey told us we couldn't take our 

bplayer, so the deal was off," 

Brbeck said. Bassist Gene 

Wijt, who is rejoining the 

grp in time for the Monterey 

)a Festival in October, is black. 

A qer received from the Johannesjg 

promoter said: "It is absolutqpossible 

m for (Wright) to

SEPT. 23: A new system of projecting 

English "supertitles" will be 

introduced by the San Francisco 

Opera for its October student, senior 

citizen and family matinee 

performances of Verdi's "La Tra- - 

viata." The translation, in letters 

about a foot tall, will beprojected 

on a screen hanging just above the 

top border over the stage. A 

spokesman for the San Francisco 

Opera said the use of supertitles is 

an experiment and there are no 

plans to use them during the regular 

subscription season.

SEPT. 23: Prospective liquor dealers 

have been warned by Fred E. 

Stewart, member of the Equalization 

Board, who called attention 

to the fact that with the repeal of 

federal Prohibition, California's 

new State liquor regulation act becomes 

effective. The act prohibits 

public saloons, bars or drinking 

places where intoxicating liquors 

are kept or sold or consumed.

Stewart stated. "But hard liquor

SEPT. 24: Squirrel saute is soon to 

be a thing of the past if an ordinance 

recommended .by the 

Board of Health and the Hospital 

and Health Committee of the 

Board of Supervisors is adopted. 

The proposed ordinance makes it 

a misdemeanor to sell ground 

squirrels in San Francisco. Health 

authorities contend that the squirrels 

are infected with disease, 

which in some cases has been 

transmitted to people, causing 

death in several instances. In practically 

the entire farming section 

of the state the ground squirrel is 

regarded as a pest, owing to the 

damage it does to crops. Farmers 

have welcomed market hunters in 

their pursuit of the squirrels, and 

millions of the little animals have 

been sold in cities around the bay, 

sometimes being served under 

their own name, but frequei1y 

they furnish the meat for rabbit or 

other game pies. If the proposed 

ordinance is adopted, the hunters 

will have to abandon their calling.

[ike can save your life 

Proper care and feeding of Mike and his brother, Little Mike, is important - they're your 

closest friends in the radio car. 


The P.A. switch should be placed in 

the down position when you wish to 

broadcast Police Communications. This 

may be desired when you have to leave 

the car but want to hear the broadcasts 

coming over the air. With the 

switch in this position, both mikes are 

dead. 

Mike's frequency arrangement is such 

that it may be compared to a telephone 

party line having 75 or more subscribers. 

Obviously only one person can talk 

over the circuit at a time and he understood 

by the operator. Often when 

the officer fails to get acknowledgement 

the first time, it is simply because the 

circuit is already in use. The transmission 

is being covered. 

With this in mind, then, there is one 

big DO NOT that should be pointed 

out. DO NOT USE THE MICRO- 

PHONE FOR UNNECESSARY 

CONVERSATION. 

Tragic Consequences 

Have you ever thought of what the 

results might be for using the mike 

unnecessarily? This incident could happen. 

How would you feel if you caused 

this tragedy: 

A Taraval car is on patrol in the area 

of Fleishacker's. It is a fairly quiet night 

in that time of year known as Indian 

Summer. "Nothin's doin'" as the saying 

goes. Joe, a nice guy, just came into 

the business, is assigned to Taraval 4. 

He is cruising down Sloat Blvd. when 

he views a suspicious man lurking in 

the bushes at the side of the road near 

a bus stop. There have been a number 

of strong-arm robberies at bus 

stops in this area so Joe flips the P.A. 

switch into the down position and 

jumps out of the car to investigate. 

"Come out of those bushes, NOW!" 

says Joe. 

Police Personality of the month 

One of the last of the real two-fisted 

"San Francisco" cops is a veteran Inspector 

George Dyer, Sr. 

One of nine children, George was 

born at Twenty-first and A 1 a b a in 

Streets. His father was Chief of the 

Southern Pacific Railroad Police Force. 

George entered the Police Department 

in 1925 and, during the next 

twenty fabulous years, served well in 

every phase of the job: radio cars and 

heats in the Richmond and Southern; 

Special Duty Man at the Southern; 

Chinatown Detail; Flying Squad; Bureau 

of Inspectors. 

Old timers tell stories of Dyer's courage. 

The time he leaped through a skylight 

in the Richmond Dist. to disarm 

a crazed, shotgun wielding murderer: 

the numerous gun battles with bandits 

and killers. Three Meritorious Conduct 

Awards and scores of commendations 

fill his personnel file. 

The general strike of 1934 had erupted 

into violence. Dyer, coupled with Al 

Torre (now inspector,) to form a two 

man police force on the Embarcadero. 

Troublemakers who were willing to 

tangle with a platoon of policemen 

turned tail and fled when the word was 

passed: "Look out, here come Dyer and 

Torre 0' 

The only response is the loud report 

of a gun. Joe staggers backward and 

falls over the front seat of the radio 

car. Everything is hazy to him, it is 

getting dimmer and dimmer and his 

senses are reeling. He has only enough 

strength to reach for the mike and make 

one appeal. 

"Taraval ... 4 ...I'm shot 

Sloat and Great Highway" ... 406 

406." 

Joe is bleeding to death from a gunshot 

wound in the stomach. At the 

same time as Joe's one and only transmission, 

Pete says to Ed: "Did you take 

the orders?" "Yah," says Ed, "I'm 

hack already." "You hear a 406." "No, 

I didn't hear anything." The transmission 

was covered. Joe died before anyone 

ever discovered him missing. He 

might have lived if he were found in 

time. Pete, realizing what had happened, 

says: "What can I say? What 

can you say." 

Say nothing! Unless it is important 

to police business and then make it: 

CLEAR, BRIEF, TO THE POINT. 

In World War II, a vicious hoodlum 

element had sprung up. Dyer was 

chosen to head a special flying squad to 

fight fire with fire. Sweeping through 

the Mission, Tenderloin and Fillmore, 

the squad broke the backs of the mobs. 

Many an ill-mannered ruffian underestimated 

the 5'9" Dyer and nursed a 

broken jaw in his jail cell. 

During his twenty years in the Bureau 

he has worked the Bunco, Auto 

and General Work's Details. He now 

serves as a right hand man to Lieut. 

Donald Scott in General Works. 

It is a luckless culprit whose case 

is assigned to Dyer. The gates of San 

Quentin have closed on many who 

would match wits with this master detective. 

George's brother, Jack, long a Sergeant 

in the B. S. S. Gambling Detail, 

died in 1952. 

Inspector Dyer resides, with his wife, 

May, in the Sunset. His son, George, 

Jr., ten years in the business, is assigned 

to the Burglary Detail. 

A model for young police officers is 

George Dyer. Soft-spoken, mild mannered 

and gentle; but a fearless fighter 

when called upon to defend law and 

order.

91st Division medal - 

30 years of tradition 

Officer Bill Fritz of Potrero Station 

become the 30th winner of the 91st Division 

Medal of Honor this year. The 

medal, first awarded in 1929, goes to 

the policeman selected as the bravest 

man of the past year. 

When they have their annual gettogether 

they have a banquet and at 

this dinner the medal of honor is 

awarded to a San Francisco policeman 

and firemen of their choice. 

In Shotgun Fracas 

Fritz was awarded the medal for disarming 

an 800 who attempted to put 

large holes in himself and the officer 

with a shotgun. This act was in the 

finest traditions of the award. All San 

Francisco policemen and members of 

the 91st Division can be justifiably 

proud of the 30 years standing of the 

award and of the holders of the medal.

given over the past years are 

1929—Fran McCann 

1930—Eugene Egan*

On Wednesday, September 16. the 

Police Athletic League sponsored the 

first annual P.A.L. Sports Night. 

In attendance were the heads of the 

Police Department, civic officials, many 

sports-minded citizens and quite a few 

parents of the boys participating in the 

P.A.L. activities. The purpose of the 

night was to let people know what 

P.A.L. stands for and how far we can 

go with boys if given a chance by the 

boys and by the people from whom we 

must solicit support. 

Wrestling 

The P.A.L. wrestlers under the 

coaching of Don Cavanaugh of Northern 

Station put on a terrific show. The 

two feature matches were a tag team 

match which was as good as any seen 

in California Hall and a "pee-wee bout" 

between two 65 pounders. Men like 

Cavanaugh do not get half enough 

credit for the great job they are doing. 

Boxing 

Coach Earl Gonsolin of the Three 

Wheel Motorcycle Detail promoted a 

three bout match with the Golden Gate 

Y.M.C.A. which was the highlight of 

the evening. The P.A.L. boxers won 

all three for a clean sweep. There were 

two preliminary bouts between P.A.L. 

boys which were also very entertaining. 

Coach Outstanding 

It was obvious to all who attended 

the sports night with the wrestlers and 

boxers were extremely well coached. 

These two P.A.L. activities have fared 

better in the win column than other 

Opp 

F 

a 

PAL sports night 

4 

a 

teams have done but have managed to 

keep the P.A.L. spirit, better to have 

played and lost than never to have 

played at all, imbued in the boys. 

Bob Kane And Vie Macia handled 

the M.C. chores. This in itself was it 

tough job what with protocol and the 

fear of missing someone, but they did 

it well and theirs was it real contribution 

to the program. 

Thanks Rendered 

Referees Bob Mitchell and Bobby 

Andrews volunteered as officials for 

the boxng matches. Along with Al Sandell 

of the State Athletic Commission 

they too made the evening successful. 

The P.A.L. idea was explained to the 

people in attendance and it was felt by 

the committee that the idea got home 

to the greatest percentage. 

The P.A.L. made four hundred new 

friends. The evening was closed with 

the showing of some old fight movies 

and the serving of beer, hot dogs and 

coke by the Welch Catering Company, 

who cater the Civic Auditorium. 

Basketball Coming Up 

It is to be hoped that another offshoot 

of the affair will he that some 

additional interest was created among 

policemen whose services are badly 

needed in P.A.L. as coaches and assistants. 

The field is still wide open for all 

who are interested. You can contact 

Gus Bruneman or Ray White at Northern 

Station. Basketball is coming up 

and there will be a chance for you te 

help.

THE POTRERO - policing a potpourri 

The men of Company "C" police the 

vast area of rolling hills that makes up 

the Southeastern corner of San Francisco. 

You won't find many mansions 

or chrome plated tract homes in this 

part of town. The residential sections 

are primarily older single family dwellings 

or housing projects. A few of the 

old timers still live on here but mostly 

, the district is populated by newcomers 

t - T 4 

- - p 

to our community; people from other 

parts of the nation and from foreign 

lands. French, Italian, Basque, Maltese, 

Negro and Latin American. Industrial 

plants, shipyards, warehouses and the 

south end of the waterfront piers make 

up a large segment of the district.

J . J •- 

;-- -i - 

Potrero Station is at Third and 20th, in a heavy industrialized section of San Francisco. 

The small building on the left is headquarters for the Police Reserve. Captain Martin Lee 

is in command of the Potrero District. 

T'he varied character of the Potrero 

requires diligent police work. The 

brassy bars and cafes on Third St. are 

constant sources of violence: hot heads, 

steeped with alcohol, explode; knives 

flash; blood is spilled. Prostitutes, pimps 

and narcotic offenders, driven out by 

the "heat" in the Tenderloin and Fillmore 

have attempted to set up their nefarious 

trades in this area. 

Constant vigilance is required to protect 

against the crafty burglar and safe 

man who would enrich himself from 

the richly laden warehouses. 

Housing projects and other low cost 

housing are a consistant fount of 

trouble. Family fights ending in serious 

injury, even death, are not uncommon. 

Resisting arrest is normal recrea 

tion. 

These projects, of course, have long 

been a breeding place for juvenile criminals. 

The Potrero has the questionable 

distinction of having the greatest number 

of known hoodlums. Juvenile crime 

is not the least of the problems in District 

3. 

McLarcn Park, a haven for sex perverts 

and degenerates must be incessantly 

patrolled to protect the many 

children who play therein. 

- - 

The police problems which will arise 

from the new Candlestick Park will 

soon be placed on the shoulders of Potrero 

personnel. 

The Potrero District is commanded 

by Captain Martin Lee, a hard hitting 

policeman's policeman. 

The men of the Potrero are keeping 

the potpourri from boiling over. They 

are fighting and winning the battle 

against those who would turn our city 

into a jungle.
