Injury Suit Damages Drain Pocketbook Of Seattle Cop Business News i Probe Scheduled Into Payola Racket SKATTLE fAP) The anguish, drained from the faces of Jerrv! and Paula Polh, along v.ilh their I plans for the future. The fright I remained. I Paula, an attractive brunette! mother of three, put it simply. ; "It's hard enough V support three kids. The whole thing scales! roe." , ; On Aug. 29, 1952, Poth. then a, Seattle police patrolman, was or dered (o the scene of an accident ! His patrol car crested a sleep hill I and crashed into an overturned , automobile. ! Alfred l T nrlinofnn ,;ii dfpuly sheriff who was Directing traffic at the crash scene, was in jured. Ludinjiton sued and won a J45.000 judgement against Poth. Under a Stale Supreme Court decision, the cily is not liable for the negligence of its firemen or policemen while they perform their duty.- However, a city-paid insurance policy took care of $10.- 000 of the judgment. Poth was left liable for $35,000. The patrolman sued the insur . ance company, claiming lhat at one time the company could have settled Willi Ludington for a total .of $9,230. The insurance company claimed it had the right o choose whether )o settle or try the case. A King County Superior Court jury agreed with the company this week. Poth, now 30 and a detective with the Police Department, dis cussed his dilemma with no show of emotion. With accumulated in terest, he now owes $43,912. If he goes through bankruptcy he will lose his job with the Po lice Department, yet, as he ex plained, he can't even keep up with the interest payments on his huge debt. Carnival Results Told Ar Meeting At a recent Melrose PTA meet ing it was reported that the school carnival was a success, clearing $293 of the $350 taken in. It was decided the PTA would take part in the Christmas gilt wrapping project at Mark's. They will also sell canister. candies in the community as a fund raising project. Thomas Median, principal of the Melrose School, spoke briefly con cerning the overload in the first grade. He stated another class room would be set up in the front of the cafeteria and another leach er hired to relieve the overload. It was announced that the blood mobile will be in Roseburg Dec. 1 and 2. Polh said he has refused all offers of aid and will continue to do so. "I wouldn't take a nrrkel from anyone. Tins is my own problem, hut 1 don't see how 1 can pay it. My salary is 90 a month. My lake home pay is $360. I'd have to pay more than half of that just to keep even with the interest." Poth's eyes moved aruiind his family, to Paula, to 8 vear-old Mike, to 8-year-old Jeff and to 4-year-old Mark. "I've been on many emergency calls." he said. "Since this hap pened I've sworn I'd never :;o over the speed limit, no matter what the emergency. But you've got to do your job. "There's no way f can see to make any payment on it at all."
