Noted Sleuth Recounts Tales at
Season's Last Knife, Fork Dinner
Br J try me English
Raymond C. Schindler. director of the Schindler Bureau of In
vestigation, New York, climaxed the Knife and Fork club'a dinner
speaking series of the season Tuesday night at the Marion hotel
when he related interesting accounts of "Thirty Years of Sleuthing."
He said the Federal Bureau ol Investigation is now only 20
years old. When it began the private detective did 95 per cent of
the crime detection. The FBI has
taken over that work today and
now the private detective confines
his activities largely to civil work.
Examples of civil work which
numbers as high as 50 cases a day
in. Schindler's office, include in-1
vestigating of proposed quick
marriages, finding an heir, next
of kin, faulty bookkeeping jobs.
The speaker told of the intro
duction of the dictagraph, which
soon became illegal in many
states. Government officials and '
prosecutors may use the dicta-
graph, but not the private detec-'
tire, unles given permi-ision j
Greatest instrument in use to-1
.day by detective agencies, accord
ing to Schmdlei, is the Lie Detec-'
tor. invented by Leonarde Keeler ;
Its popularity is still growing and
still has to reach its peak. Mr. :
Schindler stated that it is an ex
pensive and tedious job to train an
operator for the small machine.
The operator doesn't start ques-
tionmg until the suspect is re- 1
laxed, the result a normal giaf. In
Chicago Mr. Keeler used the ma-
chine on receiving tellers of Chi-
cago banks, which showed 64 per
cent of the tellers had taken some- ,
thing, mostly overages, errors
committed by depositor.-. Several ,
years later a cross-section test was
repeated on the tellers, which re
vealed only two thefts Tnousands
of atomic plant employes are be
ing screened on the Lie Detector
each day. and to date 40 to 50 1

Hearing Set on
Hubbard Union
1 High District Plan
I A proposal to establish a Hub
; bard area union high school dist
rict will be subject of a public
hearing Thursday before the Mar
ion county school district boun
dary board.
The board meeting will open at
10:30 a m. in the county court
rooms. The union district is being
sought by the school districts of
! Donald, Hubbard, White, Broad
: acres, Aurora and that part of
Butteville district in Marion coun
ty. A similar proposal was de
feated in the same districts sev
j eral months ago.
! Site of the union high school
would be on a tract of land on
the Ben Epper farm near the
ntersection of the Boone's Ferry
road and the road going west
from White school.
If no opposition appears Thurs

district created. Remonstrances,
however, would necessitate an

Zoning Issue
Zoning policy for private con
struction bordering the state capi
tol zone will be threshed out by
three groups of Salem leaders at
8 p.m. Monday in Salem Chamber
of Commerce.
Members of the city council, city
planning and zoning commission,
Salem long range planning com
mission and Oregon chapter of
American Institute of Architects
will join in the conference called
by the city council.
Precipitating the move for new
zoning plans in the vicinity of the
I statehouse were the state building
plans there and the application of
Pacific Telephone and Telegraph
company for a zone change and
' setback exception to permit con-
struction of a one-story telephone
' office building at Court and Win
ter streets opposite the state li
brary. Mavor R L. Elfstrom said Tues
day the joint conference may be
followed that night by separate
meetings of the zoning commission
and of the city council to take fi
nal action on the telephone com
pany proposal.
Harry V. Collins. P. T. 81 T. dis
trict manager, reiterated before
the city council this week that
speedy disposition f his firm's
zone change request is desirable
because installation of new equip
ment in the State street telephone
building (which now houses ex
change and offices) soon will
"push out" the business offices.
