Signboard Ads Too Personal in Postwar Berlin
Berlin police halted the practice of posting personal want ads on public billboards once ad hoc messengers sought relatives housing or food. Investigations flagged indecent notices including a shoemaker using his daughter to pose nude for amateur photographers. Owner Erich Reiske, who ran 13 boards, was arrested and fined 125 dollars, ending Berlin’s signboard trend.

Missing Tot Soon Found Method Finds Children Fast
Philadelphia reports a new missing child search method led by Police Commissioner Thomas J. Gibbons. Replacing the old all points bulletin, the plan concentrates Juvenile Aid Division officers, police women, divisional detectives, traffic unit, intelligence squad, and district patrols in the last-seen area. Since its launch last June every case has resulted in a missing child found within hours.
