It was just a heart that ought to lake it easier, the doctor said.Broadus, night desk sergeant on the local force for seven years, earned the nickname “the grand old man” among members of the department and reporters who covered it. His voice boomed out of tho police radio loudspeakers with an authority that newer men are still trying to match.Broadus has been off duty sincethe end of March, when ha went to the doctor with wtiat he thought was a case of flu and learned was an enlarged heart and high blood pressure. He spent a week in a hospital, and this week finally took his doctor's advice to settle back .jand forget the police business. Police Chief Carl Spnggs made no secret of tho fact he hated to see Broadus go. “He's the perfect combination.” says Spriggs, *‘anj old-line police officer who has adapted himself perfectly to mod em police methods.”JOB’S DONE—Old-timer Clyde Broadus holds the police cap he won’t have to wear again.vFvExhibitionism By EvangelistsCondemned By Church Moderatorj NEW YORK lt;.?—-Christian evan-;fusing to be a witness to God,5 His retirement, on pshyica! dis-;£ebsm bas entered into a “period-but only a witness to the speaker's ability, removes 'the department’s of exhibitionism,” Presbyterian; cteaverness and oratorical gifts.”oldest member, in line of duty deaders were toid Tuesday.Anderson said that there wereBroadus joined the force May lj Tho Rev; Harrison Ray Ander( *Ijmate at the old Allen school.110 traces of exhibitionism” in le “new life movement”—a Pres-yterian evangelistic program in3j The 52-vear*old police v e t e r a nial a meeting preliminary to the.
