Frankforter Promises To Aid Great Bend Officers
Topeka Apr 14 Lt Col C F Frankforter internal security director for this area promised to investigate personally complaints by Great Bend civilian officers that military authorities were not aiding law enforcement. Great Bend chief Vance Houdyshell said soldiers from the army air field had defied civilian officers in efforts to uphold laws against drunkenness and disturbance of the peace. Frankforter said civilian authorities are probably right and that two or three men are responsible. He intended to use his full power as state provost marshal to clear up the situation. Governor Schoeppel said he would deal with the problem adequately and declined to inspect conditions at the field this week.
