Mogan, Police Chiefs Find; in GermaniPoliceil Democracy .... .. ..... ... : j .FRANKFURT, Germany, Aug. 21-VPhA rpup of American po lice chiefs reported here that they found German police "leaning over backward trying to use democratic methods." f I I They warned, however, that there Is growing danger of reversion to brutality and centralized state police systems.f They expressed fear that too many.nazis are creeping oaac imo ne ponce raiucs. The Americans criticized U. s. military' government for reducing too soon and too sharply its staff of public safety officers who used to work with and supervise Ger man police activities. This opens the way for the re turn of Gestapo methods the allies are trying to stamp out, they warn ed. These views were expressed at pr$ss conference by three Am erica?! police officials who came here as special advisors to U. S. military government. They are John M. Gleason, chief pi police to . Greenwich, Conn: Howard V7. Hoyt, chief of police In Klamaazoo, Mich., and Lt Far ley E. Mogan, of the Oregon state police. All agreed German police are doing a good Job, considering their shortage of facilities and their in experience caused by loss of vet 'erans through war and denazific ation. Lean Over Backwards - "They lean over backward trying to use democratic methods," said Mogan. "U. S. military govern ment has stressed that they must observe individual rights, and in some respects they go even farther than we sometimes do In the states. "But," he added, "The German people have not yet learned to demand their own rights and un lens we Americans keep the pres sure on the police they are likely to fall back Into their old ways." As an example of how former nazis are returning to polite Jobs, the police chiefs said 500 out of 1,700 rural police in the state of Wuerttemberg-Baden were one time; party men. Many German Police There are more than twice as many police In Germany, in com- earfoon to population than in the 'nlted States, the Americans not ed. They agreed the Germans crime detection is "superb" but com plained that they paid too little at tention to crime prevention. The Germans keep big groups of men in reserve to rush out when crime happens, while in America we keep our policemen out on their beat to prevent Crime happening," Mogan commented. hi Insurance Dividend Forms Due Monda Application blanks for the divi dend on National Service Life in surance policies will be Available here Monday for veterans' at the main Salem postoffice arid other locations.
