NOTORPATRULS PROVEEFEAY Police Praise Auto System as Burglary Suspect Is Seized. High praise is being handed the new system of automobile patrols in the | second precinct by police officials as a result of the solution of @ burglary and the immédiate arrest of the alleged cul- prit yesterday a short time after the old method of foot patrols was abol- ished and the enforcement of law and order intrusted to the blue-coated oper- ators of a fleet of shiny new roadsters. ‘The apprehension of John H. Le Febvre, 17-year-old seaman of Andover, Mass., and the subsequent placing of a charge of housebreaking against him in connection with a robbery at the Nolan Plumbing Supply Co., 136 K street northeast, was attributed to the mobility of the motorized unit by Com- missioner Herbert Crosby and Capt. Ogden T. Davis, commander of the sec- ond precinct. Suspect Seized Within Block. The theft was reported to police a few moments after the last of the foot trolmen at No. 2 completed their Bir of duty yesterday morning snd watched the new motorized patrols leave the station to take up the work where they left off. Patrolman Walter | J. Rice was assigned to the case, and * he jumped into his new car and hur- ried to the scene. A quick examination of the plumbing supply shop disclosed that the robbery was committed by some one wenrmg rubber sneakers. Clear impressions ol the soles were found on a window sill. Rice returned to his machine, searched the neighborhood and halted Le Febvre - Jess than a block a ‘The youth Rl‘okflu‘d his innocence, but Rice led him to the supply shop and pointed out the similarity of the prints on the window sill and the treads on the soles of Le Febvre's sneakers, ‘The boy then is sald to have confessed. and handed over to Rice a roll of stamps worth $10 which he said he had taken from the office of Nolan's estab- lishment. Shows Worth of System. Commissioner Crosby and Capt. Davis declared the case demonstrated the efficacy of the motorized system, and said that a foot patrolman could not have reached the scene and con- ducted a search as rapidly as did Rice. The autopobile system of patrolling has been installed at the second pre- cinct as an experiment, and will be spread to other parts of the city if the test proves successful. It is planned to eventually equip each of the cars with radio receiving sets, which will enable their operators to keep in touch with the radio crime alarm system soon to be instituted by the department. The personnel of Capt, Davis' com- mand, which protects an area of ap- proxfimnuly 4 square miles, has been from 90 to 76 men as a result of the {n&tdllfim of the new system. Six machines now constantly move around the precinct in. designated au- tomobile “beats,” while another is kept fof emergency duty at the station. SCIENTISTS SUED T0 PROTECT SECRET Durium Firm Asks Writ Against Exposure of Method of Making Phonograph Records. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 3.—An in- to restrain three Columbia iversity scientists fram _disclosing secret formulae by which phonograph records are made of durium, a sub- stance of flexible as paper, but hard enough to withstand hammer blows, was asked in a suit filed in Supreme Court today by the Durium Products Corporation. Prof. Hal T. Beans, head of the rm-mm.ry department, and his assist- , George Walden, jr., and Louis P. Hlmmzt, were employed in 1927 as con- sulting chemists to develop the basic invention, the complaint said. Their efforts to find a substance that hardens when heated were rewarded by the dis- covery of durium, which is formed by the hardening of a resin at explosion When the scientists were employed, at & salary of $100 a day, the complaint said, they agreed to keep the formulae secret. Later, after they discovered further improvements and were refused | additional compensation, the complaint | charged, they threatened to sell the | secret formulae to the R. C. A.-Victor Corporation. In addition to the Injunction, the Durfum Products Corporation asked that the three be compelled to assign ation any patents they may e basic invention, CANADIAN FLYERS START ARCTIC RESEARCH WORKE Maj.
