Big Training Class Makes Call To Write of Newspaper Making
Husky officers from 24 police departments raided the Times Building today. In plain clothes, their hips bulging with lethal weapons, they first invaded the news room, then took the building piecemeal.
There were no casualties and no arrests—for the mission was peaceful.
The policemen, 27 of them, including chiefs, captains, sergeants, motorcycle men and patrolmen, are in training at the New Jersey Police Academy at Wilburtha, training quarters of the State Police. Their visit to the Times plant was part of an educational program. Upon their return to the academy, the policemen will write their conceptions of how a newspaper is published, and their scripts will be submitted to an examination not unlike that undergone by a school boy’s essay.
Lieut. W. J. Coughlin, of the State Police, school commandant, was at the head of the delegation.
The officers and the departments represented were:
Chief Oran W. Lloyd, Pitman; Chief Frank B. Conklin, Beach Haven; Chief Alvin C. Lich, Westwood; Chief Martin Clausen, Princeton; Captain James Hamilton, Wildwood; Sergeant James J. Smith, Paterson; Sergeant Arthur J. Wilhelm, Bloomfield; Sergeant William H. Kiernan, Glen Ridge; Sergeant George B. Patterson, Delaware Township Camden County; Sergeant Raymond J. Start [sic], Camden; and Patrolmen Kenneth V. Tallman, Interstate Park; Harry P. Carty, Hasbrouck Heights; Nathaniel Estilow, Burlington; William E. Jester, Delaware Township, Camden County.
