Immediately 700 police were sent to scour Queensborough. That night, patrolmen dressed as women sat with plainclothesmen in parked cars wherever lovers were known to hold trysts. Suspects were arrested in New York State, New Jersey, even as far away as Philadelphia, but the Misses May and Ring failed to recognize any of them. More wild, coded notes to the police and the Journal kept special police squads rushing about Long Island and Westchester, to no avail...
...Emma Hammerstein, 47, widow of the late impresario Oscar Hammerstein, a woman once presented at four European regal courts, was found guilty of vagabondage in a Manhattan police court. A detective, whose testimony was substantiated by three patrolmen, said that she had accepted $30 from him in a Manhattan hotel. Following a sentence of one day in jail, her inimical stepson Producer Arthur Hammerstein offered her $50 to be "decent" and clubwomen began raising a fund to combat the "double standard'' in prostitution cases...
Greyhound Lines cover 36,000 miles of road, over which also travel Greyhound motorcycle patrolmen, inspecting roads and checking up on bus driving. Last year 2,264 Greyhound busses (average cost: $8,000), carried 18,000,000 passengers, went 100,000,000 miles, used 19,000,000 gallons of gasoline.

Four thousand workers, trained in special schools, are employed. The company carries insurance...

Censured by all Manhattan newspapers for the unnecessarily brutal way they had handled a previous demonstration in City Hall Park (TIME, March 10) the 400 patrolmen on riot duty in Union Square were models of decorum during the first two hours of last week's monster demonstration. Conspicuous in the crowd was William Zebu-Ion Foster, No. i Communist in the U. S., and his chief aides-burly, white-haired Editor Robert Minor of the Daily Worker; dour-faced Israel Amter, local Communist organizer. Equally conspicuous was dapper Grover Aloysius Whalen, New York Police Commissioner, and his gold...
After seven murders in seven days, the Chicago police, unpaid since Jan. 1, commenced last week what their chief called "a sledgehammer campaign" against the city's underworldlings. Detectives and patrolmen scooped up night prowlers, street-corner hoodlums, speakeasy patrons, cabaret "artisteés," "guests" at red-light hotels, many a citizen who could not quickly explain his evening's stroll. Within twelve hours 917 assorted characters were arrested, of whom 271 were found to have police records. Revolvers were taken from a score. Soon the police sieve began to leak. More than half of those arrested were...
