100 Officers Suspected in Traffic Fix Scandal
Police commissioner Francis W. H. Adams says 58 policemen and policewomen are under graft investigation in a traffic violation fix scandal. He cites 23 percent hours of a briefing with top brass and mentions Theresa Melchiorne, director of the Bureau of Policewomen, among those implicated. Weissman, a Manhattan patrolman, was dismissed for failing to issue a ticket amid a gratuity attempt. The magic card racket ties to a Brooklyn grand jury inquiry into 10 to 15 officers with 100 patrols possibly involved.
