HAITI POST GIVEN TOCOL WILLIAMS Marine Officer Who Served| Here to Become Com- mander of Constabulary. A former Washingtonian, Col. Richard P. Williams of the Marine Corps, is to become the new commanding officer of the Garde d'Haiti, the native con- stabulary in Haiti. Col. Frank E. Evans, who has been in command of the force during the past three years, is slated to come to Washington for duty at Marine Corps headquarters, Navy Department. Col. Williams will hold the rank of | general under the Haitian government, and will be detached from the 1st e, according to Marine Corps or- ders made public today. In this post he will have charge of the rural police, the Haitian army, the police force and the coast guard detachment, which tends the lighthouses along the Haitian coast. ‘There are now about 50 Americans, officers and enlisted men of the Marine Corps, who are holding commissions in the Garde d'Haiti. The policy is to turn over gradually the entire force to the conduct of Haitians, and at present | more than 50 per cent of the second lieutenants in the garde are Haitians. There are some native first lieutenants, and the gradual evolution of the entire force into a native organization is be- ing pursued. Keep Order in Villages. There are some 2,641 members of the | Garde d'Haiti, and the rural police, who keep order in the villages in the hinterland of Haiti, numbers 551. The personnel that Col. Williams will have charge of consists also of the national Eflm guard, that keeps vigil over the me of President Borno. There are two bands in the Garde d'Haiti, and it is considered an efficient force. ‘The garde now handles all police and military duties in Haiti, Marine Corps headquarters official explained, the only Marine Corps forces now in Haitl being small garrisons at Fort au Prince and - Cape Haitien. Altogether there are about 700 Marines in Haiti. The garde force was started in 1915 by members of the Marine Corps. Spent Year at West Point. Col. Williams was born in Georgia June 30, 1879, and was appointed to the service from Arizona, having spent a year at the Military Academy at West Point before joining the Marine Corps. In 1913 he was on duty in the office of the major general commandant here, and he has been on duty at the Marine Barracks here, at Annapolis, Md., and at Quantico, Va. During the World War Col. Williams was with the 6th Division as an Army officer, having seen service in the Meuse, Argonne drive and at Verdun. He was on duty here at Marine Corps head- quarters in 1919, and in 1925 he served as fleet Marine officer of the battle fieet. He has been in Haiti since May of Jast year, and has commanded the 2d Regiment. - e South Africa plans to have unified film censorship by inaugurating a board ©of censors for the Union. MARBLE BASE ORDERED FOR TECUMSEH STATUE Bronze Figure of Indian “Warrior to Be Unveiled at Naval Academy During June. | The Commission of Fine Arts was | notified yesterday by Rear Admiral A. | L. Willard, commandant of the Wash- ington Navy Yard, that an order has been placed for a marble base for the bronze statue of Tecumseh, Which will be placed in the Spring on a pedestal in front of Bancroft Mall at Annapolis. | The statue has been cast at the navy | yard and is being finished in prepara- tion for the expected unveiling and ded- ication before or during June week, when commencement exercises are held at_the Naval Academy. The new statue of Tecumseh, who was a famed chief of the Creek Indians of the Southeast and was crushed in the War of 1812, is to be presented to | the Naval Academy by the class of 1891 and will replace an old wooden statue | which once was the figurehead of a | United States ship of war. Hallowed | traditions _gathered _for 'generations about the wooden statue of the Indian chieftain and it became one of the re- | vered shrines of the midshipmen, who believed if they threw coins at the statue good luck would come to them. A few months ago the old statue was | taken down and a cast made of it in | bronze, which will be presented to the | academy later in the year as a gift of | the class of 1891. The new statue and the base of marble have been approved by the Commission of Fine Arts. PENALTY IS FIXED FOR “FALSE LIGHTS” | Operators of Beacons Used for Ad- vertising Subject to Fines and Imprisonment. Privately operated airplane beacon lights which are used purely for adver- tising or other purposes not connected W‘lth aerial nlvlgltinn will be classed as “false lights” and the operators will be subject to fine of $5,000 or five years' imprisonment, or both, the Department. of Commerce has announced. Lights of the airplane beacon type which have been installed for advertis- ing purposes without Department of Commerce certification have been the subject of complaints from airplane pilots, who confuse them with true lights. Such errors may result in forc- ing the pilot off his course, resulting in a possible crash when he is forced to land in strange territory, it was ex- plained. Private beacon lights may be installed only under Department of Commerce regulations, with the approval of aero- nautical organizations in the territory in which they are to be located, and must be distinctively aeronautical in character, marking either a safe landing field or serving as a landmark on a course leading to such a field, Depart- ment of Commerce officials pointed out. Once they are authorized, their contin- uous operation from dawn to daybreak every night must be guaranteed. One such private beacon ,light has been authorized in the District of Co- lumbia. It is installed on the Ward- man Park Hotel and points out the course to Bolling Field. bu, 10, will want THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, ‘1380, COMMUNIST DRIVE HERE DENOUNGED Southeast Citizens Will Study Literature Read by School Children. ‘The spreading of Communistic litera- ture in elementary schools of the Dis- trict was flayed by members of the Southeast Citizens’ Association, meet- ing last night at the Southeast branch of the Public Library, Seventh street and Pennsylvania avenue southeast. In a fiery speech to the group O. J. Davey, member of the association, de- clared the Communist party here is working on the minds of children from 10 to 12 years of age who are attending the graded schools. “These children are far too young to realize just what the doctrines of these Communists are,” Davey said. “I have talked to several youngsters attending the graded schools. They are told to denounce the Boy Scout organization of America. They are told to fight against the ‘bosses’ of the country, and they are far too young to comprehend just what it is all about.” ‘The association voted to collect all Communistic literature which is read by school pupils, and after careful study of the propaganda to consider whether an investigation will be con- ducted by their sssociation. This ac-] tion will be taken up at the next} meeting. Indofsement of Ma, Herbert Crosby for a District commhuonenhlv was given in a resolution unanimously passed. Members declared that Crosby’s capability as a leader of men was proven, in so much as he had reached the grade of major general in the United |* States Army. ‘The secretary was directed to ask the Board of Education to offer Henry Ford the ground at Thirteenth street and Potomac avenue southeast as & site for a vocational school. Members said that Ford would probably be more than willing to use part of the $100,- 000,000 fund he has donated for school bulldings to build the school. At the present time the site is being used as a Jumber yard by the District. A resolution approving the appointing of matrons for elementary schools in the District was passed. A. G.
