As such, he will deal with public complaints about administrative injus- tices. Like most Mounties, the re- tiring RCMP commissioner is uncommunicative about his police work, particularly in the sensitive security area. He bows out Aug. 15 after 35 years with the force. Born in Moose Jaw, Sask., he will be 69 Aug. 13. "The only thing I will say is this," the chief of the 7,730- man federal ,force remarks somewhat bitterly. "If you win, you can't talk about it; your failures no one ever forgets." The most romanticized po- lice foree in history always got the mad trapper or the renegade Indian in the old days, building in the process an awesome reputation for in- tegrity and determination. But the public image in re- cent years has shifted to spy- ing postal clerks, Munich blondes with overtones of Mata Hari and campus inves- tigations, and it is sometimes hard to tell just whom the ROMP {s after and why. HUSH-HUSH OPERATION "This is the great difficulty of security work--it can't be made public,"" Commissioner McClellan says. COMMISSIONER GEORGE McCLELLAN "There are other ears that are equally interested in find- ing out about our successes and failures." The Mounties police about 130 cities and towns and all provinces but Ontario and Quebec under contract. Their jurisdiction includes the Arc- tic reaches, the Yukon and the Northwest Territories. They patrol many major highways and deal with all narcotics cases. THE OSHAWA TIMMS, Thuredey, April 27, 1967 1] Commissioner Mce- Clellan sees traffic as a greater problem in Canada than narcotics or organized crime, a surprising revela- tion. "The situation in narcotics was never better than it is today. This could change. It's a constant battle." Organized crime had tried . and might try again to gain a foothold in Canada. "The challenge has been met and beaten before and very strong and effective measures are being taken at the federal, provincial and municipal levels.' DEFENDS TRAFFIC DUTY He reacts strongly to sug- gestions that the RCMP im- age has been hurt by its high- way patrol duties. Some have said the force should leave this thankless task to others. "TI just can't buy that," the commissioner. says. "It seems to me that in a country where you're killing 5,000 to 6,000 a year in traffic, you should be getting the best enforcement. "It is one of the major prob- lems." A six-foot, 210-pounder with the physically-capable look of a man who would still be standing at the end of a saloon free-for-all, George McClellan joined the RCMP Aug. 15, 1932, and rose through the ranks to become commis- sioner Nov. 1, 1963. The post carries a salary of $24,840. He also is vice-president of Interpol, representing North and South America in the in- ternational police organiza- tion. A military figure, his sil- vered black hair is neatly combed and parted almost in ee the middle. He wears horn- RCMP CHIEF TO RETIRE rimmed glasses, sports a mus- tache and has a firm, impas- sive face. The commanding presence gives way in conversation to an impression of patience and humor, The image becomes one of a confident, superbly controlled man, He becomes vastly human as he speaks about his nine- year wait to marry Betty Aus- tin, the Alberta girl he be- came engaged to within a few months after joining the RCMP. Recruits then weren't al- lowed to marry for six years but the smitten Mountie told Miss Austin it was five. Meanwhile, the force changed the period to seven years. When he became an officer in 1939, the seven-year period was almost up. "Immediately there was a new policy that single officers couldn't marry for two years." The McClellans finally were married in 1941 and they now have three daughters. Now recruits must be over 21 and have two years' serv- ice, a minimum aimed at get- ting them through the rugged training period before mar- riage. The force's modern evolu- tion has unfolded with the commissioner's 35-year ca- reer, in which he chased his share of Alberta cattle rust- lers and Nova Scotia lobster pot thieves. At Westlock, Alta., his first posting, the only other man was a veteran NCO who lived by the book, had him up at reveille, inspected him as if he was a platoon, and believed in work until the work was done. ig Westerner Kept Watch On Security| They checked the brands on thousands of cattle driven north to better country from Pat bowl of southern Al- Those were the unforget- table days of outdoor work, contact with good people, the days when frostbite rather than ulcers was the occupa- tional hazard of the RCMP. They ended in 1938 when Constable McClellan, the only non-officer, was in the first graduating class of the Cana- dian Police College at Regina. "This was our first really organized step in the tech- nique of modern criminal in- vestigation. Laboratory work then was all very new to us." He became a sub-inspector in 1939 and went to Vancou- ver,. with a war looming, to check the vulnerability of in- dustry and transport to sabo- tage. This entailed travelling through the Rockies on a hand - car, checking bridges and other vital points to be guarded by militia through the war. at ZELLER'S TREMENDOUS SELECTION OF SPECIAL SPRING-INTO-SUMMER VALUES FOR THE HOME AND THE WHOLE FAMILY! 3-PIECE "WEEBENDER" PRINT PANT SUIT Reg. $19.99 9 Specie! .....
