...state police to help preserve peace on school-opening day. The gimmick: Faubus could use the letter as evidence of an "emergency," lock the schools under his gubernatorial police powers. But Little Rock's city fathers knew better than write Faubus anything, calmly put their faith in Police Chief Gene Smith, a hulking (6 ft. 2½ in., 213 Ibs.), steel-eyed man whose uniform is a grey business suit and a white straw...
Cracking Sharply. Carried by the marchers were five American flags, one Arkansas banner-and placards proclaiming, RACE MIXING IS COMMUNISM and FOLLOW FAUBUS FOR FREEDOM. Police cars trailed along, radioed Chief Smith that the trouble would come at 14th and Schiller. Smith and his cops were waiting. As the marchers came close, Smith yelled through his electronic "bull-voice" megaphone: "We're not going to stand for any foolishness...
Working Man. The $100,000 Club Cabazon failed to attract the expected bonanza of customers from Palm Springs, and its franchise passed from hand to hand like the Hope diamond, bringing bad luck to everyone who held it. But under the direction of Tallent-appointed Police Chief Robert ("Doc") Morton, an ex-chiropractor, Cabazon quickly won and richly deserved a reputation as the worst speed trap in Southern California.

King of Ruth, Miss, and Joseph Proietti of Mt. Kisco, N.Y. Emrealp did not mention that his men had already extracted from the Turkish manager of the NATO noncoms' club in Izmir a confession implicating King-a confession subsequently repudiated by the club manager...
Stolen Papers. It was two days after McCuistion's disappearance before NATO headquarters got interested. When Brigadier General Paul Hollister, NATO chief of staff in Izmir, protested to Turkish authorities, Tough Cop Emrealp at first denied knowledge of McCuistion's arrest. Finally the Turks agreed to show McCuistion and King to a U.S. colonel-who reported that both men were "in bad shape." It took ten more days for NATO to learn of the charges against the four sergeants, and by this time NATO officers also discovered that someone had stolen McCuistion's finance records from...
