Police oppose automatic telephone rollout in Los Angeles
Police officials led by Chief August Vollmer oppose replacing manual telephones with auto dial systems. They argue emergencies require direct human operator access, not automated dialing, since a caller may be unable to dial or cry for help when a crime or injury occurs. The manual line’s immediate alert to central can aid police detection and response, a point illustrated by incidents where receivers are knocked off during scuffles. Mrs J R Andrews of Washington Street is expected to return home Monday after a week in New York.
