And' it certainly hasn't grown any happier in, the inter- im, as even a casual g:anc© through the newspapers will tell you. Everywhere, police- men are unhappy. In the cities, they talk of strike action. In small towns; they resign right and left, usually in a cloud of recrimination. • Why are they fed up? For a whale lot of reasons. It's only surprising so many of them stay at it. First of all, thea ar"e po rly paid. • This fine, old trail-itlon, probably dates back_.o the days when a op was a "dumb flatfoot", lucky to get a job With some security involved. During The Depression, the town cop was envied because he got a pay check, be it ever so humble, every week. Secondly, they must cope with continued interference from elected officials, or local big shots. It might be the Chairman of the Police Corp - mission, more concerned with paring his police budget than with the quality of the police- man.'Or it might be the fellow who belongs to the same serv- ice club as the mayor, and expects special treatment, whether it's a parking ticket -or r drunk driving charge. This is hard to take. • Another thing that hugs them, even those who like the work, is the hours: working holidays; special details; calls in the middle of the night.

For professional Service by those who care,. thing else that has turned -the placid policeman of even 20 4:Lat.'s the attitude of the peo- ple. It's fairly new and very nasty. I notice it, with dismay, among teen-agers. Even the de- cent ones sneet at "The Fuzzk, as they term our stalwart guardians of the law.. I don't know where they got it -- per- haps frern movies and televi- sion — but they seem to think the policeman is some sort of brutaliied Gestapo type look- ing for trouble. A few policemen, of course, foster this attitude. There are always a -few bullies in uni- form who release their own psychological perversions. But they' are a tiny mieotity, usual' ly curbed by their peers. Even more disturbing, per- haps, is the number of adults who will stafid around and Watch a policeman being beat- en up, and enjoy it. There's always, of course, been war between the 'police and the populace. But it used to ,be a good-natured, fun -war. You • tried to circumvent the law, whether it was swiping apples or beating the speed limit. If you were caught, you grumbled a bit, lied like a trooper, and probably got off with a warning. And everybody was happy. Now it's open and blatant battle. It's yicious and ugly. It is fanned by newsmen and tele- vision. They always seem to be there 'when the cops are man- handling some screaming punk,, but are never present when "some constable is being kicked into jelly. I've met a lot of cops in my duty, and, I hasten to idd, few of them were real hoods, but the vast majority were de- cent, ordinary chaps who would go out of their way to be helpful. It's a rotten job; but remeraz, her, men, somebOdy loves you.
