In carrying out this decision Healey
transferred &e six or eightregular
policemen who are Earned" by the
Morals Squad back to "other police
duty. These policemen have been
carried by Funkhouser to give a law
ful aspect to their raids.
Healey's action means that the
Morals Squad can no longer run wild
oVer the town, breaking down doors
arid dragging women by lorce to po
lice -stations.
then arresting them will also end., By
tne oraer or,tne new cmei or tne
Morals Squad can only do "stool
pigeon" work. They, can merely go
out as spies and then report what
they find, to Tegular policemen.

of the Morals Squad and proposed' to
stop "them that it would not be long
before the Morals division of the po
lice department Tvouhi be entirely
eliminated-, ,
This is indeeda tough wallop for
Major Funkhouser. The only thing
he will have, left with which to break
into the newspapers will be the board
