nesses and arrest the woman who admits she was involved in the shooting? Why did police wait until newspapermen had found and questioned the woman before taking her into custody? The answer is, of course, that the police dread a scandal within the fraternity and will go to stupid lengths in an attempt to hush it up.'

Next the cops had bookkeeping troubles when it was found some officers were on the payroll when they shouldn't have been one, for instance, while accompanying Steelworker-boss David Mc Donald to Florida.

Carnahan was suspended, retroactive to the time of the shooting. The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board threatened to examine the club's books.

Under pressure from the press, Police Supt. Slusser admitted that Carnahan had been frequently warned to stop chasing the Cavanaugh girl, and also admitted other Vice Squadders have frequently been seen in "expensive automobiles with well-known prostitutes." Veteran police said Shirley (and several other professional girls) had been threatening for months to "blow the lid off the vice squad."

Next, a woman charged Patrolman Louis Chiarelli with attacking her in a parking lot, while Patrolman George Smith sat in the patrol car with them. She also charged Lt. Stipanovich with attempting to "persuade" her not to bring charges and with attempting to influence the testimony of hospital officials who examined her for evidence of rape.

Meanwhile, back on the Carnahan case, charges flew in all directions. Who got a court order to get Shirley's roommate out of town? Who got Carnahan's clothes before they could be checked for bullet holes? Why was Shirley's apartment searched and her letters seized without a warrant? Who was responsible for the coverup?

The State Supreme Court upheld the convictions of Tanser, Scanlon and

Russobut the court also discovered that of the eleven policemen indicted in 1952, one Robert Leiner had never been brought to trial, and like like most of the eleven, was still on the force. Another, also still on the force, had been convicted but never sentenced. Two days after the court upheld the five-year-old conviction (sentencing Tanser and Russo to 6to12 months each and Scanlan to 4 a Police Trial Board got around to considering the case so the boys gracefully resigned from the force. A week later Attorney Albert Martin was disbarred by judges of the Common Pleas Court for "unprofessional, unethical and reprehensible conduct" in handling 138 of the morals cases with the old Vice Squad. Martin was charged with promising to "fix" cases, with bribing officers to change their testimony, and with influencing defendants to give false testimony. Action on the disbarment had been pending for well over a year, and when it came, Lawyer Martin had long since suffered a heart attack and returned to Miami,

In passing, we wonder how soon Tanser, Russo and Scanlon will be back on the force? As for Vice-cop Carnahan and his girl Shirley, well, they still have a long way to run.

In a speech to Child Study Assn of America, Dr. Janey Rioch warned of dangers in changing family relations, predicted, "We are drifting toward a social structure made up of he-women and she-men." . . . Anthropologist Margaret Mead said recently family-conscious American men have so lost the spirit of adventure, that they would turn down better jobs to avoid minor dislocations for their children. But their concern does not extend to community's needs. "The idea seems to be to have four to eight children, preferably as close together as possible, and then to spend considerable time wiping their noses, changing their diapers and so on."......
