Riverside SP 3-4264 Medford personal bodyguard of Sirl Winston Churchill. Attached to trie special branch of the Yard, Thompson's assign ments included counter-espionage and secret service work. The speaker explained that before a person becomes an officer with the Yard they attend a 13-week course of intensive training. This is fol lowed by a two-year proba tion period vhen the person is assigned to a street beat. During this period the officer is trained in all phases of crminal law. Respect Police He explained that many ar rests are made by the public as residents are raised to respect the police. He added that once an arrest is made the arrested person is taken to the police station where the prisoner is told with what he is charged. The arresting officer does not see the pris oner again until in court. During the trial, the case may not be biased in any fashion, Thompson explained, and it is not until after the person is found guilty that the police tell what they know about the prisoner, both bad and good. He added that only criminals are fin gerprinted in the country and when an arrested person is found innocent the finger prints are destroyed. The inspector mentioned that 162 dogs are used in the London area by the Yard. He added that they have prov ed to be particularly useful at night. Only recently, he said, they have started being used on the docks in assisting in the arrest of narcotics smugglers. Assigned to Yard The speaker added that once an officer has completed two years on a street beat Inspector Club Here he may apply to the Yard for duty. After a ten-week course the officer takes an examina tion in which the passing score is 100. Only then may a person be assigned by Scot land Yard. In speaking of his work as a member of the special branch which deals with spies, guarding the. royal family and VIPs, he mentioned that all members of the branch have to be able to take shorthand notes with either hand on a notebook in a pocket. The remainder of his talk concerned his duties as body guard for Sir Winston Chur chill. He explained that Mr. Churchill picks each member of his staff himself and re lated many personal experi ences that he had with the former prime minister. Answers Questions Following his talk the speaker answered questions from the audience. Paper bloodhounds deco rated the tables for the dinner meeting and a modern "Sher lock Holmes'' followed paper footprints through a magnify ing glass on the curtain be hind the speaker's table. The footprints lead to a large size trash can which contained a masked burglar who was peeping from beneath the lid. Vases of red tulips and lilacs completed the decorations. Three newly elected mem bers of the board of directors were announced at the meet ing. They are Mrs. Jerry Tobin, H. D. Christiansen, and A. C Pierce. usinessmeii i akin Optimistic View of mmediate Future CAUSE FOR DISMISSAL Chickasaw, Ala. (IP) Car roll W. Lee has been ousted as president of the City Council here. He failed to pay his poll tax. By ELMER C. WALZER 1 New York HP) Hardhead ed business men who hve the figures on hand to back their discus sions are be ginning to take a more optimistic view of the limiicuiaic A n ture. In the past few days sev- Eimer waizer erai corpora tion officials have reported indications of improvement ahead. Orders to look a bit better for some of the capital goods companies. Steel is a big item in the nation's economy and with operations under 47 per cent of capacity at present things look bleak. But several steel company j executives have taken a more rosy view of things ahead for the industry. Marcus J. Aurelius, vice president of United States Missiles, Economies To Be Governor Topc Salem (IP) Soaring mis siles and diving economies are expected to hold the dis cussion spotlight at the an n u a 1 governors' conference next month, Gov. Robert D. Holmes said today. The governor, who is vice chairman of the Western Gov ernors' Conference, is sched uled to participate in all ses sions of the week-long na tional conference being held this year at Miami Beach, Fla., starting May 18. Steel Corp., world's largest steel producer, forecasts a moderate upturn in indus trial activity this summer fol lowed by a further rise in the final quarter. Along with the recovery, Aurelius saw a period of in ventory building. He was con fident that "steel shipments will be substantially higher at the end of the year than they are today." Charles M. White, chairman of Republic Steel Corp., na tion's third largest producer, believes that the severe in ventory liquidation by steel users should run its course not too long after mid-year. Despite the fact that Repub lic Steel's first quarter earn ings fell short of meeting the 75-cent dividend, the directors declared it anyhow as "con crete evidence of the confi dence" they and the manage ment have in the future of the corporation, White said. J. L. Mauthe, chairman of Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co., said his company has ex perienced a slight upturn in orders which could "turn into a definite trend and then snowball into a steady recov ery. "The trend of orders re ceived during March and April to date seems to indi cate that the low point of the recession has been passed." The whole tenor of corpora tion officials' statements is seen as tending toward the optimistic side in a cautious way. Everybody warns that the recovery now said to be developing will be a slow one, likely to test the pa tience of those watching the process. Flower Garden Above Battleship Suggested Honolulu HP) J. Howard Pyle, former governor of Ari zona, suggests that a colorful Hawaiian flower garden be built above the sunken hull of the battleship Arizona in Pearl Harbor. Pyle said the garden could be built on a platform con structed in the outline of the battleship above the rusting bulk. "Something green, colorful, living and breathing" should be built as a memorial to the Pearl Harbor victims." Pyle said on a visit to the Arizona Thursday.
