FAIRFAX, Va, December 10.—Police of Fairfax County are scouring the countryside and asking neighboring towns to co-operate in their effort to capture three amateur bandits, who staged a $70-hold-up Saturday night at Morris & Usilton’s store at Chantilly, 4 miles due west of here. The money was taken from the till of the store after the men entered and commanded all hands up. Six perscns were in the place, including W. D. Utilton, one of the proprietors, Sid Wrenn, a former proprietor, two women and two men, customers. A shot was fired into the floor at the feet of Mr. Wrenn as the robbers sought to.cow the bystanders. With coat collars turned up about their mouths and caps tightly drawn, the men - had stepped suddenly into the small building, and although were be- lieved to be local citizens who had never “acted that way” before, they worked with speed until they got out- side, when they found that they had |left the engine of their “old Ford” dead ond it required nearly 5 minutes for them to crank up, the weather being cold. While they were making their get-a-way in this retarded fashion the occupants of the store, warned against any attempt to give an alarm, main- tained their places until the bandits’ automobile. bearing a District of Co- lumbia tag, was out of sight. The shariff then was notified and officers were sent to the scene to investigate. Descriptions of the men and the auto- mobile were the strongest clues fur- niched, but Sheriff Kirby believes he will make an arrast soon. The store has b2en robbed three times in 6 months. None of the customers have been molested. HITS !NDECE;‘!T PLAYS, BOOKS AND PICTURES Very Rev. Ignatius Smith De- nounces “1928 Standards” of Amusements and Literature.

Adoption of a personnel program which would go hand in hand with a naval building program so that new vessels could be placed in commission without the necessity of depleting other China and Central America, Admiral nual report of Rear Admiral R. H. Leigh, chief of the Bureau of Naviga- tion of the Navy Department. Per- sonnel, he said, should be provided a year before new ships are to go into commission so that the crews can be trained during that time. Not only have the appropriations for pay, subsistence and transportation been insufficient to provide complements for ships, but they have been inadequate to provide the minimum numbers of men which may be considered neces- sary for peace-time operation only, without thought for mobilization or maximum efficiency of operation in China and Central America, Admiral Leigh says. For example, he adds, the minimum of men required for the peace- time operation only of ships in commis- sion for 1928 was 85,558. To meet this demand Congress provided for 83,250 men. He says that 86,349 men is the mini- mum number of men needed for effi- clent peace-time operation only. It does not provide for nucleus crews for mobilization, nor for complements on Asiatic or Central American ships. These minimum needs were arrived at | after careful survey of the reports and recommendations of flag officers, boards of officers and individual commanding officers. The absolute minimum which | should be available has been carefully worked out, but the inability of the bureau to furnish this minimum figure by a shortage of 2,349 men is seriously felt in the fleet. He calls attention to the fact that the crews of other ships had to be re- duced in order to commission the great. airplane carriers Lexington and Sara- toga. Five new light cruisers, which *will require about 3,378 men, are due to be placed in commission in 1930, two of them in the first month of that year, vet no provision is made for the men in the estimates for 1929. Therefore, the active fleet must be robbed again. Lejeune’s Aide Promoted. First Lieut. John Halla, aide de camp to Maj. Gen. John A. Lejeune, corh- mandant of the Marine Corps, has been promoted to captain. Capt. Halla, who was born in New Jersey, Septem- ber 19, 1897, and saw active service before becoming a commissioned offi- cer of Marines. 1215 CONNECTICUT AVE,, N. W.
