WILSON ATTACKS
BILL TO INCREASE
STAFFOROTAN
"Dangerous," Says Public
Safety Head, Testifying at
Hearing on Daix Measure
DIRECTOR IS CAPITAL
f SPOKESMAN FOR VARE
Power Could Be Used in "Ul
terior and Illegal Manner,"
Committee Told
Vu a Staff Correspondent
llarrlslmr?. Pa.. April 22. The pro
posn) to create a staff of investigators
for District Attorney Kotnu's office was
declared dangerous today by Director
tf Public Safety Wilson.
He said there would "nlwajs he the
danger that with an unscrupulous per
son the staff could be used in an ul
terior nnd illegal manner."
Mr. Wilson spoke in opposition to
the Daix bill, before the full Senate
committee on appropriations, in the
'Senate caucus room. Senator A. V.
Daix presided. Other Philadelphia
Senators present were Kdwiu II. Vnre,
George Woodward and S. W. Sains.
The bill introduced by Senator Dnit
iirovides four additional assistants for
he Philadelphia district attorney's of
ice nnd sixteen investigators.
Senators Vare and Salus and Direc
tor AVilson reached the caucus room
ti-n inimites before the hearing began.
In announcing the purpose of the
fathering, Senator Dai said the- on-
position would be asked to speak first,
because those opposed to the measure
" had asked for the bearing. Dirertor
AVilson opened his attack on the bill by
asserting the creation of the additional
places would shoulder upon the tax
payers unnecessary liimncinl burdens.
20S Detectives Here
He explained the makeup of the
Philadelphia Jmreiiu of police nnd tin
relation the detective bureau bore to the
police department. Philadelphia, he
said, has 20.'! regular and nctinc de
tectives.
The entire power of the' detective
bureau is subject to the beck and call
of the district attorney's office, dav and
night he said. ;
Mr. AVilson referred to "the vast'
army of.men," in round number -I.100,
wr.o comprise the burnt u of police.
"Tho passage of this bill," asserted
the director, "would crente a separ
ate, polipe bureau in the city of Pliiln
delpllia under tin direction nud domi
nation of one who is not connected with
the police as now- constituted."
The county investigators, he contin
ued, would not be subject to the laws
regulating the political activity of the
police.
"The passage of the bill," Mr. Wil
son declared, "would create positions
j'lothed with police power, but not
Jimcndnble to the laws which at the
present time prevent the injection of
oplitics into the police of the city. We
must not overlook the fact we aie not
legislating for the present day, but for
the future. There is alwajs a danger
witlTau unscrupulous person in power
that the bureau could be used in nn ul
terior nnd illegal manner."
benntor ATnrc said he was certain
detective force for the disti-U't attorney's !
nmce would only make trouble for the
regular police.
