Salaries Will Improve Work of District Forces. Belief that the recent action of Con- gress in granting salary increases for { policemen and firemen marked the W 1 i/ béginning of a new era of contentment It "gi; two departments was expressed | ey ssoiner Reichelderfer at a luncheon of police and fire officials yesterday in the Willard Hotel. | The success of the legislation was celebrated at the luncheon, tendered police and fire officials by the Chamber of Commerce, the Board of Trade, the Federation of Citizens’ Associations, the Merchants and Mannfacturers’ Associa=- tion and the Central Labor Union. The captains and lfeutenants of both de- partments were present. Commissioner: Reichelderfer declared passage of the bill had proved that to obtain congressional support “we must start with an idea and then show that the united indorsement of the people of Washington is behind it. That is how the pay increase bill for the policemen and firemen was put | through, it seems to me. I am told that it s a single instance in which the people of the National Capital | have whole-heartedly backed local leg- islation. Beginning of New Era. “That formula is a valuable lesson to remember. I firmly believe that this occasion marks the beginning of & new era of contentment in the Police and Fire Departments.” ‘The opinion that nothing builds up morale more than good psy was ex- pressed by Commissioner Crosby. He added that the fact that the financial worries of policemen and firemen had been lessened, thus improving _their morale, would be reflected in the future work of “our noble protectors of life and property.” MISS MARJORIE WOLFF, Twelve years old, who came from Long Tsland to visit her mother in Washing- ton and while here on the Fourth enter- tained the little patients at the Chil- dren’s Health Camp of the Tuberculosis Association with a program of tap dancing.

Bellef that the congressional action would result in higger achievements by the two departments was voiced by Charles W. Darr, president of the Chamber of Commerce. Trade Bodies Praised. ‘The trade bodies and citizens associ- ations were praised for the part they had played in making the wage in- creases possible by Chief George S. ‘Watson of the Fire Department and Col. Willlam B. Ladue, retiring En- gineer Commissioner.

Bowles Attacks Detroit Pa- pers as Gang Allies in Opening Campaign. By the Associated Press. DETROIT, Mich,, July 9.—For the first time in the city’s history a may- oralty-recall campaign was under way in Detroit today. ‘The sudden ending of Mayor Charles Bowles' efforts to prevent a recall elec- tion by court actions late yesterday was followed within a few minutes by the setting of July 22 as the date for vot- ing on the question, and some three hours later the mayor was campaign- ing over the radio. ‘The first official action after City Clerk Richard W. Reading had issued a call for the election and had closed the registration books an appropria- tion of $65,000 by the City Council to pay the expenses of the poll. The council foliowed this up with a resolu- tion directing Police Commissioner ‘Thomas C. Wilcox to stop investiga- tion by policemen of the signatures on_the recall petitions. The fight against holding the election ended when Circuit Judge Robert W. Toms dissolved a temporary injunction he had issued Monday restraining Reading from calling an election The injunction was based on a suit by the mayor charging that the petitions were not sufficient. In_opening his campaign last night the mayor spoke over Station WJR and denounced the recall movement as a “low, cowardly, contemptible effort of two powerful newspapers, working hand in hand with the underworld,” and promised to “mince no words” in his campaign. He charged that the newspapers, the Detroit News and the Free Press, are seeking to remove him from office be- cause “I won't play their game and because I will not allow them to ex- ploit the city and the taxpayers as thfil have done many times in the past> C.
