ANCHORAGE, (£>)—Sgt. Will
iam D. Rehmke. one-time Anchor
age resident and a member of the
Seattle police department nearly
25 years, has refused to apply for
appointment as chief of police
here on the grounds that residents
do not give the department proper
support.
"The chief serves under such a
handicap that I wouldn‘t want to
be in the 'leparmtent,” he sadi.
He came here last week to con
fe” with Mayor Z. J. Loussac,
city manager Don Wilson and
chief of police Charles Stowell. He
said he believed the department
mast have "more personnel and
better personnel.” H calld the city
a "perfect hideout” for men who
have committed crimes in the
' nited States and sai^ he believed
the situation would become more
critical next spring.
"The public here seems to be in
different about the police,” he
said.
He was with the Alaska Eng n
cering commission here in 1920.
He is due to retire soon from the
Seattle police department.

New Displaced
Persons Bill
Completed
WASHINGTON. </P)—Rep. Wal
ter <D.-Pa.> today completed a new
displaced persons bill which he
said would eliminate all the fea
tures President Truman has ob
jected to in the present law.
Walter, the No. 2 Democrat on
he House judiciary committee
which handles such legislation,
told a reporter he will introduce
he measure when the new Con
gress opens January 3.
His bill, he said, would (A) guar
antee against racial, religious or
nationalistic discrimination, (B)
louble the number of homeless
Europeans eligible to enter the
United States, and (C> give them
four years—instead of two years—
from last July to apply for admis
sion.
Under the present law 205,000
European refugees are to be given
entry to this country the next two
years. The measure, passed by the
80th Congress last July, was de
nounced by President Truman
during ‘he recent campaign as be
ing unfair ot Jews and Catholics.
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New
York, the Republican Pres.uential
candidate, also was critical of it.
Walter’s bill would declare a
displaced person eligible lor con
sideration if he entered Germany,
§
Austria or Italy on or after Sep
tember 1, 1939 and on or before
April 1, 1 947. _
The present dates are September
1, 1939 and December 22. 1^4 5. By
! moving up the latter date. Walter
said, thousands of persons vould
become eligible who move- into
Germany, Austria or Italy to es
cape the Russians. This provision,
he said, would apply espec ally to
Poles.
Walter says his bill’s “guaran
tee” against discrimination would
require that visas b£ issued to the
various racial and religious groups
i nthe same proportion that the
number of displaced persor.s in
each group bears to the total num
ber of displaced persons.
Among other changes, Walter’s
measure would do away with the
tbp preference presently given ag
ricultural workers. His bill vould
give preference to “farm. >. .use
hold, construction, clothing and
garment workers, and other cork
j ers needed in the locality in the
United States in which suer, per
' sons propose to reside.”
