Law And Order Is Topic For Peace Officers School
Techniques of "keeping law and order" will be the subject for 150 peace officers from Kansas and neighboring states at the 11th annual Kansas Peace Officers Training School July 22 to 27 at KU.
The school is sponsored by the Kansas Peace Officers Association, Governmental Research Center at KU, and University Extension.
The 1957 Kansas Legislature endorsed the training program and approved an appropriation of $5,000 to KU for instruction facilities. John Anderson Jr., attorney general, said he believes the school "will continue to serve a very useful purpose in raising the standards of law enforcement in Kansas."
This year's school will be composed of a basic course for police officers, a police science course and a traffic course. Members of all courses will attend joint meetings during the mornings and specialized classes in the after- noons.
On Monday and Tuesday, July 22-23. special classes will be offered to sheriffs and their deputies. Serving legal processes and jail administration will be stressed during these two days.
The basic course is designed for relatively inexperienced peace officers. Subjects will include interview and interrogation, law of arrest, patrol techniques, report writing, burglary and larceny investigation and testify in court. One dav is set aside for the study of police radio procedures and techniques in an effort to establish standardized radio communication throughout the state.
The traffic course will emphasize accident investigation, causes of accidents, traffic court evidence and traffic accident records.
The police science course is designed to meet the needs of officers interested in scientific and laboratory aspects of police work. Among the subjects presented will be collection and preservation of evidence, fingerprinting, cast making, dermal nitrate tests and photography. Officers will apply the procedure to burglary, larcency, homicide, and suicide investigation.
The peace officers will also participate in a target practice session and search and seizure techniques. A staff of well known Kansas and several noted out-of-state peace officers will be instructors and discussion leaders. Discussions will be supplemented with films and demonstrations.
E. A. McFarland, manager of institutes and conferences at KU, said the four-year educational program has been compressed into a course that can be completed in three summers. A graduate year advanced management workshop has been added to provide intensive study of selected problems.
More than 100 persons will be on the campus Sunday for the eighth annual Credit Bureau and Collection service Management Institute. They will come from 13 midwestern and Rocky Mountain states. The institute will last a week.
"The graduate workshop, which makes possible at least eight years of study without repetition, is attracting the top executives of the credit bureaus of such cities as St. Louis, Denver and Houston," MacFarland said.

Wrong Cat, But Good Try
MADISON, Wis — (UP) — A newsboy found a Siemsie cat answering the description of one lost by Mrs. William D. Walker before she left on a trip to Michigan. At her direction, he put the cat on a plane for Detroit. Today the cat was back in Madison. It was the wrong one.
What is old age for fish? Two to three years to grow up and four to five years' exposure to angling is typical. Few live longer than that.
Wheat Harvest Hits New Low
TOPEKA—(UP)—The U.S. Agriculture Department today forecast a 1957 wheat crop in Kansas of 94,054,000 bushels, the smallest crop in the nation's no. 1 wheat state in more than two decades.
Crop officials said that Kansas hasn't had a year with a production of less than 100,000,000 bushels since 1935.
The revised July forecast was down from the June estimate of 101,680,000 bushels. Farm experts traced the more pessimistic outlook to heavy rains and flooding which have severely damaged the harvest this year.
The all-time low wheat crop in Kansas in modern times came in the drought year of 1935 when the state produced only 64,055,000 bushels.
The all-time high came in the bumper crop year of 1952 when Kansas produced 307,629,000 bushels of wheat.
