NEW DIRECTOR SAYS HE WILL KEEP POLICE OUT OF POLITICS William II. Wilson Emphatic in His Indorsement of Pre-election Promises of Incom ing Mayor DUTY HIS WATCHWORD Tlil In the flfth In n drrlfs of Intrr tIcun with till new dirrrtur npnlntod by Major-flirt Smith on tlirlr plnni for the conduct of their clrjmrtnirnt. The man who needs cnthuslnsm most in tho new cabinet of Mayor-elect Thomas B. Smith Is the best equipped with It Will iam H. Wilson, newly appointed Director or the Department of Public Safety, so called "premier" of the cabinet, could hardly be called demonstrative, but If he talks to the blueco.its and llremen who will be under his direction next year the wny he talked In the course of a 13-mlnuto Interview ho will have no dlfllculty en thusing them. Thu question of whether or not the police will be active again In politics with the return of tho Republicans to otlico is tho first one always put to Mr. Wilson. His answer always has been nn em phntlc "No!" Todny he amplified that statement as follows: "I am In thorough and nbsolutc accord with the pic-election pledges of the Mayor-elect, reiterated tlmo and ngaln sinco the e'.ettlon. that tho police will be kept ou" of politics. Tho snme thing applies to the firemen. As Director of tho Department of Public Safety I Intend to see that patrolmen do duty as patrol men nnd nothing elo and that firemen do their rightful work and nothing else." "PSYCHOLOGY" OF DEPARTMENT. It Is somewhat dltllcult for tho Director of this department, generally looked on ns the most Important In tho administra tion, to outllno plans for his conduct of It. tnllke every other division of tho city's government, with the slnlo execu tion of tho Department of SuppPes. Pub lic Safety Is moro of a maintenance Job thnn a ronstructlve one. In nearly every other department certain broad, general plans for publlo Improvements that can not be subject to more than minor changes as the need may arise have been mapped out. Tho Dopartment of Public Safety, more than any other, deals with men. It deals with them In tho police bureau, in the fire bureau, In the corrections bureau. And, in a lesser degree, perhaps, It deals with men in the bureaus of building boiler and elevator Inspection. Tho di rector of this department needs to know something about psychology. (I don't know nothln' about It.) He should be able to get In touch not only with his Immediate subordinates, but with the pa trolmen themsolves when It Is necessary. Unless he can do this all the disciplinar ians in the world cannot secure for him ono of the first essentials of a good police force, loyalty. MODEST AND SINCERE. Director Wilson knows all this. He Is determined to "make good," to use his own words. The tlrst reason for this Is to show Philadelphia that Mayor-elect Smith did not misplace his confidence. Tho new Director is singularly well equipped with modesty for a man who lins been in public affairs as long as he has. When he was asked his opinion of the cabinet members he said: "1 think the right man was selected for the right place in every Instance but, of course, I'm not talking now about myself. My acts will have to speak for me. I am determined to make good I've made up my mind to go thoroughly Into the details of every bureau under the supervision of tho department and to give this city and the Mayor-elect the best that Is in .me from start to finish," The best answer to the question of what Is to be done about the three-platoon system, according to Director Wil son, is that Captain Davis, his assistant, Is the man who established the system and got It working. "Will the system be continued?" the Director was asked. "Not If we can Improve It and give the men oven better working conditions," he said. "If we can't make It any better we'll keep It up aa it l." Director Wilson realizes that It will be Impossible to make things any better for the patrolman until more bluecoats are added to the force. He will ask for a large increase as soon as possible aftir taking office- "In some of the outlying dUtrlctx" b said, "it Is utterly Impossible for patrol men to cover thu tcriltory nsslgnod to I them. Undoubtedly wo must havo moro I pntioltnrii nnd 1 believe we will et them I Tho safety of tho city nnd of property I demnnds It." 1 Am to tho House of Correction, Director I Wilson would sny only that ho intends lo give It a gient deal of thought. He believes that Institution requires special study and knowledge of conditions be foie nny steps nre tnken to Improve It. Until ho has made such study ho will not outline nn.v plans for b-Hcrment. In n gencinl way, however, '1 put himself on record as against the uld plan of con fining youths arrested for minor offenses with hardened criminals. Director Wilson's legislative record Is one that should make him popular with the police nnd llremen. He was Identified with tho passnge of the workmen's com pensation bill, child labor nnd other boelnl legislation that had the -stamp of Governor Brumbaugh's npprovnl. Tho now Director docs not give the impres sion of being a "political appointee," ns lie hns been callid. He talks like a busi ness man who knows exactly what he Is going to do, but ho Is not yet prepared to talk about it In detail.
