THIS FINE NEW BOOK
HAS MUCH ABOUT POLICE
The University of California Press
at Berkeley has just announced the
publication of a book entitled "Crime
and The State Police," by August
Volhner and Alfred E. Parker. The
co-authors spent about four years
gathering material for this book, their
studies and investigations including
both the state police here and in Eu-
rope.
M'r. Volhner was for thirty years
Chief of Police at Berkeley, Califor-
nia, and during his years of police
service became world famous as a po-
lice administrator and criminologist.
Mr. Parker, besides being a member
of the Berkeley School System, has
been assisting Mr. Vollmer for a nu-n-
bet of years. Mr. Parker, who is also
tile son-in-law of M,r. and Mrs. L. C,
Waldman, 134 Whitley Avenue, has
spent his summers here at Avalon for
several years.
"CRIME AND THE STATE PO-
LICE" is a popular presentation, bear-
ing lightly the weight of recognized
authority; a ,book for public and po-
lice alike. The authors present in
this volume their findings, with re-
commendations for improving the po-
lice service and making more efficient
'the combatting of crime in the United
States.
As an example of some of the sub-
jects written about in the book, the
following chapter headings are in-
lightening: Crime and the State;
Special Attempts to ContTol Crime;
Special State Police, Highway Po-
lice on Patrol; The State Turns De-
tective; State Police; In Foreign
Countries; Crime and More Crime;
and, Crime and Police Morale.
The sloop Carola, which recently
spent considerable time in Santa Cat-
alina Island waters, was towed into
San Diego Friday by the Coast Guard
cutter Ta:naroa, from Cape Colnett,
scram distance south of F_Lnsenada.
John Fuller of San Francisco, son of
the well known paint manufacturer,
was aboard, with two companions.
The vessel was reported five days
overdue, so the cutter was sent south
to tow it into port at San Diego.

That's why the legislature submitted
to the people in Proposition No. 1 on
the ballot for the August 13 special
election, bond issue proposals for
$950,000 to build extensions on the
Capitol in Sacramento and $1,000,000
for enlargement of the S tafl~ Building
in Los Angeles.
Not only will the proposed improve-
ments save California a huge sum of
money, but they will make it possible
to concentrate governmental depart-
ments in Sacramento in the Capitol
and State Building and in Los Angeles,
in the State Building there.
At present, office rentals in the
southern city cost $40,441.80 a year and
in Sacramento, $57,000 a year. In the
capitol city, the Board of Equalization
alone pays $3960 a month for extra
office slSace outside the Capitol.
The adoption of this building pro-
gram will enable the state to partici-
pate in the federal works program so
that the amount provided may be in-
creased materially by federal funds.
The projects contemplated are lo-
cated in all sections of tile state and
will afford considerable relief for un-
employment. It is estimated by the
Department of Public Works that 4705
men will be employed on these projects
for a year in addition to the vast
amount of building materials and other
services that will be required.
Funds in the Governor's budget and
tentative =,!lotnlent of money from the
proceeds of the bond issue provide for
buildings and construction at Pacific
Colony near Pomona, Mendocino StS.te
Hospital at Ukiah, Agnews State Hos-
pital near San Jose, Napa State Hos-
pital at Napa, Patton State Hospital
near San Bernardino, Camarillo State
Hospital near Ventura, Norwalk State
Hospital at Norwalk, Stockton State
Hospital at Stockton, Sonoma State
Home at Eldridge, and a new prison
in Southern California.
