POLICE CLEAN-UP
SCOTLAND YARD MEN DISMISSED
TWO CLEVER OFFICERS (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 9.5 a.m. LONDON, Friday. 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. The dismissal follows the Scotland Yard Disciplinary Board’s finding them 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 war communication regarding the alleged leakage of official information to associates of the Bolsheviks. Ginhoven is a naturalised Dutchman with 20 years’ police service. He is proficient in eight languages, and tells amazing stories of his secret world-wide war time 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 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.
