LONDON, May 3. What is believed to be the last step necessary to weed out undesirables in the higher branches of the Police Force is the dismissal of Inspector Ginhoven and Sergeant Jane, officers of the Special Political Branch, following the verdict of the Scotland Yard Disciplinary Board in finding them guilty of communicating information from the records of the special branch to ex-Con-stable Dale, who A-as dismissed for participating in the police strike in I'JID. The Board's enquiry was the result of a War Office communication regarding the alleged leakage of official information to the associates of Bolsheviks.

Inspector Ginhoven is a naturalised Dutchman with 20 years' police service. He is proficient in eight languages, and tells amazing stones of a secret, world-wide war-time mission. Serjeant Jane had a vast knowledge of the Communist movement. He penetrated the defences of the chief conspirators in the 1926 coal dispute in order to frustrate Communist attempts to hamper ammunition production. Both men, whose records were excellent worked as artisans in factories, advising the authorities when disaffection was fomenting.—United Service.
