P««* 4 P o rtland O b aerver Thu rsday. F eb ru a ry 1 1 197« Police Union, Goldschmidt ready for battle Jackson defeats Jefferson cagers by by Pat Ijm lcv Rev H a rv e y January 9th M ay o r Goldschm idt sub m ille d him self to an inquiry by the Portland Police Association (P P A ). S e v e ra l days la te r the E xe c u tiv e Board of the Association and then a m a jo rity o f polled m em bership decided to support F ra n k Ivancie for M ay o r H a v in g lost his bid for police support, the M ay o r railed at the union: ‘I f Ivancie loses, police standing in the com m unity is going to suffer.' Goldschmidt told reporters: ‘I have had a very bad relationship w ith the President of the union, because of his view s on Am erica, his view s on this city, his views on crim e and his view s on e v e ry other subject and I w ouldn't chose to have it any o ther w ay.” Follow ing th a t, in an effort clearly meant to isolate union head Stan P eters from his mem bership, Goldschmidt said “I have a g re a t deal of resp»>ct for o th e r police." Stan Peters, an e ig h t y e a r veteran of the police d e p a rtm e n t, was amazed at “the all encompassing n atu re o f the charges w hat I am for." P e te rs said, “is for good solid law enforcem ent, the trainin g and developm ent o f highly respected police officers, com petent people in the police, and com petent people in leadership of the city. Its nonsense for the M ay o r to say he's had bad relations w ith the head of th e police union - the last tim e w e talked was in his o ffic e on N o vem ber 6th It was a cordial, re la tive ly in tim a te talk for a couple of hours His attack Tuesday was below the stature o f a com petent M ay o r." M any observers view Goldschm idt's attack on P eters as a w a rn in g to o th er city employees to stay out o f th e m ayoral race or support G oldschm idt. T his is the in te rp re ta tio n of Goldscm idt's state w ent: " if you play in heavy tra ffic you're going to get y o u r toes run o ver som etim es...” U s t Julv Goldschm idt UNOLEUM CITY DECOR CENTER (ACROSS FROM SEARS)1 0 _ DEPARTMENT CO-ORDINATED ACCESSORIES noted th a t the police union had supported him for city council and then in his M ayo ral election. T he P o rtland (Mtocrver interview ed P P A P resid ent Stan P eters p rio r to Goldschmidt's outburst. T h e re was no question a t that tim e th a t the Union was clearly opposed to the re election o f the T he Jackson Raiders w ere pleasingly satisfied as they eased by the Jefferson Dem ocrats in the last few seconds of o v e r tim e play. Most of the game was a hard comeby lead for Jackson, until the fourth q u a rte r, when Jefferson look o ver the lead and boosted it to eight points. T h e crowds got excited to see J e ff on top. T he game became very tens,- to watch and loads of pressure was put on the players as they wished to pleas«* th e ir spectators. Although p,*opk* may not know or believe th a t referees make bad calls, critics w ill say d ifferent. Some of th e ir M ayor: "W ho runs Goldschmidt? It's an interesting question. H e doesn't have the support o f la b o r. Public employees are not behind him It would be interesting to know w hat his base is." T h e reasons the police are oppos,*d to Goldschm idt and for Ivancie are not specifically enum erated. "T h e m ajo rity of union mem bers simply re tu rn e d the ballots for Ivancie, against the M ayor. They could have any num ber of reasons." P eters outlined some of them: one of the first things the M a y o r did was break up the police union (separating officers from the union) A n o th e r contention w ith Goldschm idt is o ver the L E A A , though it is not a rtic u la ted in th a t form . "Strings opinions can be based on calls o f the J e ff vs Jackson game. F or exam ple, when the ball was o verth ro w n by a Dem o and hounet d o ff a Raider's foot, one re f call«*,! it Jefferson's hall w hile the o th er re f call ed a foul on Jefferson, and th a t r e f was at the o th e r end of the court! Jackson then received a one on one shot F o u rth q u a rte r brought the real riv a lry of the game as G a ry W alden led the Demos down the court for two. Then are alw ays attached to anythin g the I.E A A offers - we sim ply don’t want th e ir dictation. P eters said he had just been invited to a tte n d a M arylan d L E A A C raig Channel, of Jackson, received the ball and ran all the way down court and m eeting "for input on how managem ent and labor can im prove th e ir relations - through L E A A guidence." Peters said he w anted nothing to do w ith the meet ing. * STAN PETERS had a notion of re a p o M ib ility of w hat was good for people, of w hat was good for the police; he was incapable of unprin cipk*d com prom ise." M ille r, who q u it his job as police captain four months before his suicide called C h ief R aker ‘a failu re and an a|>ologist for M ayo r G oldschm idt.' M ille r was critical o f 'the corrosion of the C iv il S ervice s tru c tu re by the Gold schm idt adm inistration ', the staffin g of im p o rtan t police positions by non-profes sionals. A close friend of M ille rs recalled M ille r tellin g her: "you ju s t te ll me w h at the rules are and I'll play w ith in the rules and I ’ll beat you." One theory about M ille r was that he sim ply could not break the gestalt: he hadn't any clear percep tion of w h at he was up against. This theory view s the I j w En forcem ent Assistance A m in is tra tio n (L E A A ) to be the body to which G oldschm idt defers, and th a t M ille r's principled n ature excluded him from insight into the 'rules' to w ork w ith the federal police agency, an organization which notoriously eschews dem ocracy, o fferin g instead choices' w ith in p aram eters outlined by the LEAA. Stan P eters has already experienced the M ayor's w ra th , according to the P P A new spaper T he Rap Sheet.
