BRITISH POLICE FORCE
THE POLITICAL BRANCH. TWO OFFICERS DISMISSED, (United Press Association.) *By Electric Tolegrapb—Copyright.) LONDON, May 3. What is believed to be the last step necessary to strengthen discipline 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 Scotland Yard’s Disciplinary Board’s, finding that they were guilty of communicating information from the records’ of the special branch to .ex-Constable Dale, who was dismissed for participating in the police strike in 1919. The board’s inquiry was the result of a communication regarding the alleged leakage of official information to -associates of Bolshevists. Ginhoven is a naturalised Dutchman, wifh 20. years’ police service. He is proficient in eight languages, and tells amazing stories of a secret world-wide wartime mission. Jane had a vast knowledge of the Communist movement. He penetrated the defence of the chief conspirators of 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 being fomented. —United Service.
