GIVES FAST RELIEF when COLD MISERIES STRIKE By WILLIAM KADUSON United Press Staff Corespondent NEW YORK (UP) The dream' which comes to all policemen has come true for John Cordes, a slight-of-build detective who rose ' to fame behind a hard pair of fists, and a quick, sharp mind. John Cordes never carried a gun. Once he was shot by mistake by another police officer; he fear ed that some day he, too, might shoot a colleague in confusion. Now, after 34 years of service on the New York City police force, Cordes, 59 and gray haired.,' has re tired Jan. 1. Fellow officers agree that Cordes made it the hard way. In his years as detective Cordes twice won the coveted medal of honor, the police department's hiehest award. He also received a score of commendations from his superiors for outstanding bravery and intelligent police work. Through Crime Era . Cordes' career as a detective be gan just before World War I and carried him through eras of some of the worst crimes New York has ever experienced. Bootleggers, racketeers and "mad dogs' seemed to be part of the every day news. Gangsters Invaded night clubs and showed their "artillery" al most in sight. And in one way or another Cordes was "always around." He never looked like a cop. In a business where burliness is im portant, Cordes was comparatively little. And he bore none of the sartorial characteristics of cops in those days. That was how he came to be chosen for plainclothes man duty while still in police school. It i was an asset which enabled him to move in on gangsters and loiterers without giving them a telltale advantage. Slight of build, sandy haired and nattily dressed, he looked the part of an enthusi astic salesman. Certainly, never a cop. ' But Cordes was no dude. He beat the daylights out of racket men; others never chose to fight they simply went along peacefully. Others ducked him on sight. 1 Part of Team For years Cordes was teamed with John Broderick, another de tective now retired, who also had a great reputation as a fighter. Cordes, however, often chose a more diplomatic way of getting his man. Whatever the difference, the pair were known as Cordes the Brain and Broderick the Brawn. Cordes had never planned to join the police force. As a 'teen age youth, he served as a hustler for a civil service school. He got $25 a week and $5 for every candidate he enrolled. One of the candidates bet $100 that he couldn't take a police exam and pass it. Not only Baby (jusf drove if" ifl iustsaw rl ' ' I w crSfrfc? Lfi I TT DiSoio!"
