Parker emphasized the threat of organized crime (see
Parker on Police, pp. 49-65), but the Kefauver Committee found little
to fear in Los Angeles (Times, 5-12-53), a position reinforced by
Income tax investigations in 1957 (Times, 2-21-57). In 1958, when
State Assemblyman Bruce F. Allen charged that organized criminals
operated in Los Angeles, Parker denied it (Times, 3-8-58). Yet he
dted the intelligence division publication, "Gangland Killings, 1900-
1951," aa proof of the mafia's presence in 1959 (Times, 3-14-59,
4-17-59. 4-29-59), a charge rebutted by Governor Edmund Brown's
representative, Alvin Goldstein, who said no California mafia existed
(Times, 5-6-59). In 1961, when U.S. Attorney General R. F. Kennedy
observed that orgadzed crime was prevalent in Los Angeles, Parker
demurred (Times, 10-5-61), but admitted to "a few" local mafiosa in
1963 (Times, 8-5-63). Organized crime was not an important issue
thereafter, and received little mention. Race and Communism took
the spotlight.

| Description | Joseph Gerald Woods. The progressives and the police: urban reformers and the professionalization of the Los Angeles police. University of California, Los Angeles (Ph.D., history), 1973. Published by University Microfilms International (Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA), 1982. PART OF A SERIES: A critical component of the Commission's investigation centered on the idea that governance of the LAPD was shared between the Office of the Chief of Police, an administrative body, and the Board of Police Commissioners, a citizen body. To better understand the dynamic between these two entities, the staff of Heller, Ehrman, White, & McAuliffe researched the history of the Los Angeles City Charter, focusing primarily on its provisions regarding the distribution of power and the structure and organization of the LAPD. Included in the series are reproductions of reports, dissertations, article clippings, excerpts from city documents, and charter amendments related to the charter's conception and development over time. The series also includes several summaries of expert witness interviews regarding the effectiveness of this structure. |
