June 32.—Mrs. Dorothy Tardy Perry, who recently unished her 4-year-old son by having glm locked in a cell at the jail here, today described Police Commlulgner ‘Walier's criticism of her act as a “po- litical move.” Commissioner Waller's motive, sald Mrs. Perry, wife of Lieut. Roger Perry, U. 8. N, is to “gain publicity for the law which he had passed by the Legis- Iature in January making him Annap- olis’ first police commissioner.” The commussioner, according to Mrs. Perry, “used his own influence to have the ‘law enacted and then suggested himself for the new positio In criticizing her punishment of her son, Mrs. Perry continued, Commission- er Waller “has seized a minor incident which he is using to exploit his influ- ence and power.” “As a matter of fact,” Mrs. Perry de- clared, “Commissioner Waller knew of my intention before Roger was locked up. but it wasn't until after it was all over that he reprimanded me. Chirges Speech Was Rude. ‘The reprimand, Mrs. Perry said, con- sisted of four sentences, spoken “in such a rude manner that I had to leave the police station in order to keep con- trol of my temper.” Mrs, Perry expressed the hope that Commissioner Waller will “see his name in headlines as big as he wishes.” “Being a_former newspaper woman, however,” she added, “I know the in- cident is receiving more notice than "l deserves.” Mrs. Perry, who wrote an explanatory article for The Sunday Star, showed many letters which she has received— some scolding her, others threatening her. One of the epistles was from a Wash- ington fortune teller, who predicted Roger’s “ruination” and his mother's death within a short time. Another letter was from a couple who offered to adopt the boy if his mother would pay them $12 a week for hs board. Still another was from a “character education” school in Chevy Chase, advising Mrs, Perry how to train her son i Parents “Misunderstood.” The trouble with Roger, Mrs. Perry #aid, is that he ”mlsundersunld‘.! his parents’ efforts to correct him.” The other day, she added, she asked him what she should do to make him be- have, and he replied, "I guess the only thing to do is to shoot me. Within the next few days, Mrs. Perry said, Roger will be taken to the Phipps Psychiatric Clinic, Johns Hopkins Hos- pital, Baltimore, where he will be ex- amined by Dr. Esther Richards. The latter has issued a statement in which she sald Roger already is under her care, the record of his case having been forwarded to her for study. The fact Roger cried during his in- carceration does not necessarily prove his experience will have any permanent deleterious effect on him, Dr. Richards declared. “Naturally, I wouldn't recommend such drastic measures,” the doctor said, “but then neither the boy’s mother nor the Annapolis police dare psychiat- rists.” ¢ Roger’s behavior, Dr. Rfthards added, apparently is due to maladjustment be- tween him and his mother.” OVERCOME BY GAS, iddente: through the Arlington experi- LINDELL CONES.

Fred- erick C. Melville, skipper of Admiral Byrd's sailing ship, the City of New ork. Capt. Melville wired Assistant Secre- tary of the Navy Jahncke that he would be glad to sail the Constitution for the Navy if no mariners could be found in the naval service who are qualified to handle a sailing vessel. Impracticability Feared. Capt. Melville was prompted to make the offer upon reading news dispatches. quoting Mr. Jahncke as expressing the bellef it would be impracticable to sail the old ship without the aid of a tug. Mr. Jahncke had expressed doubt that enough men able to sail before the mast could be found to man the frigate. Representative Sol Bloom. associate director of the Bicentennial Commis- sion, also received several communica- tions today from old salts who are will- ing to organize a crew capable of salling the Constitution. No Pigtails or Whiskers. Mr. Bloom, who spiked Mr. Jahncke's contention that it would be necessary the crew to start growing whiskers f they would hope to look like the sailors of 1812, today took issue with the new Navy claim that pigtails would have to be grown. ‘The pigtails, consisting of hair plaited down the back, are shown on pictures preserved in the division of records of the Navy Department. The same pic- tures corroborate Mr. Bloom's assertion that whiskers were not a part of the uniform of the sailors of that period. Artists Unreliable. “I don't care what the pictures at the Navy Department show,” Mr. Bloom !declared. “Pigtgails went out of style during the French revolution, in 1789. | The pictures cannot .be authentic, any way. There were no photographers in those days, and antists are not to be relied upon. El | The pictures at the Navy Department also show that shoes and stockings were not a part of the seamen’s uni- | form. Bare feet prevailed among the | men, but officers were togged out to| the limit of sartorial elegance. These plgures, from the official records of the Navy department, show uniforms of an cfficer and a seaman of the period of Old Ironsides.

KELLY SCORES CRITICS \ OF RESALE PRICE BILL Federal Trade Body Stand Called Absurd by Representative Sponsoring Measure. By the Associated Press. Opposition of the Federal Trade Com- mission - to resale price maintenance ‘legislation was assailed as “absurd” to- day by Representative Kelly of Penn- sylvania, co-author of the Capper-Kelly bill to provide for resale price agree- ments on trade-marked goods. Kelly said action to prevent “cut- throat” price cutting by certain chain stores was “absolutely imperative.” He added that the commission's report find- ing ho need for such legislation at pres- ent would have no effect on his deter- mination to resubmit the bill to the next Congress. 2 The measure, which has been before Congress for years, gaincd its nearest approach to enactment in the last Con- gress with passage by the House.

Undaunted because one concessionaire failed to make a business success of it seven bidders today sought the privi- lege of renting the site of the old Fede- ral Trade Commission Building, Twen- tieth and C streets, for automobile parking purposes. The bidders’ offers to the govern- ment ranged from $25 to $130 per month for the concession. The bids were taken under advisement by Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, 3d, director of Public Buildings and Public Parks, who is ex- pected to make a decision within a few days. A. G.

PLANNERS OPPOSE 230 STREET CIRCLE alry and the mounted band of this unit| Grant Says Half Circle May Be Developed at Lincoin Memorial Grounds. ‘The National Capital Park and Plan- ning Commission looks with disfavor on a circle at Twenty-third street and Con- stitution avenue, its executive officer, Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, 3d, said today. ‘There may, however, be a half circle at that point to mark the entrance into the Lincoln Memorial Ground, and designate the Arlington Memorial Bridge road link, but the colonel be- lieves that this development will be some time in the future. ‘The commission favors setting up a building line, so that it will be &ulhlfl to bring Constitution avenue to the full width of 80 feet from Virginia avenue to the Potomac River. There is no need for 80 feet at the present time, in the commission’s opinion, and the city’s great memorial avenue of the future could be paved a width of 70 or 72 feet at present. A special report on - subject was just laid before the commis- sion by Frederick Law Olmsted, Brook- gnm l:hs&. landscape architect, and Col. rant. The_colonel believes that the north curb should be established in the west- erly - section of Constitution avenue, when the new buil are constructed, including _the lion-dollar Pan- American Union Office Building, .the Public Health Service Building and the Pharmaceutical Building. Then the Government could wait to establish the south curb, until the Navy and Munis tions Buildings are moved off the Po- tomac Park property, as they are now in the path of this development. This 'prcgram would be the' cheapest - and best, the colonsl explained today. Seven- teenth street at Constitution avenue was closed to traffic this morning, to permit the paving of the new 80-foot thoroughfare, now being improved from Fourteenth street to Vm? avenue. In front of the Navy Bul at Virginia avenue, a curved curb has been con- structed, where the 80-foot Constitution avenue narrows down to the old width of the former B strect westward to the river. This will be the temporary ar- rangement, until the thoroughfare is widened westward.
