THE POLICE FORCE
“WEEDING OUT’’ IN BRITAIN. 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 Scotland Yard’s disciplinary - board finding them guilty of communicating information from the records 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 war communication regarding an alleged leakage of official information to associates who are Bolsheviks. Ginhoven is a naturalised Dutchman with 20 years’ police service. He is proficient in eight languages and can tell an amazing story of secret world-wide wartime missions. Jane had a vast knowledge of the Communist movement. He penetrated the defence of the chief conspirators in the 1926 coal dispute in order tn frustrate Communist attempts to hamper ammunition production. Both men. whose record is excellent, worked as artisans in factories, advising the authorities when disaffection was being fomented.
