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."
