The Daily Press elates onH MrC Wnsiiiiwtnn Lacks Ten Men Of Its Authorized Strength Of 73 The Newport News police department is steadily building up to its authorized strength of 73 men now that the war is over ana manpower, is avauaoie, umei oi ruutc dame M.

There are five members of the department still in the armed forces end four of them have indicated their Intention of returning to duty in Newport News once they get their discharges from the army and navy, the police head said.

In the recent group of eight who have been hired Chief Peach said six of them had military service, being honorably discharged veterans, but that only one had military police training. He believes that men with military service, not necessarily military police service, will prove valuable additions to the force but all candidates will be examined on their merits, he emphasized. The chief also disclosed that the department has gone bark to requiring all candidates to be not younger than 21 years of age nor older than 31 to be consdered for a position on the force.

This has been the policy of the city for some years but was waived dur-' Ing ttie war because it was neces-" sary to employ older men in some Instances owing to the lack of young men. I it despite shortage of manpower the department never has waived its adaptability test, he said. This test consists of 100 questions which be answered within a certain Jeagth of time and for which a of 70 must be obtained before tfie candidate Is permitted to file i to. application. All candidates must take physical examinations and undergo blood tests.

In addition they are Investigated before appointment and no one with a police arrest record is -employed, If the department heads know about it, the chief declared.
