FIREMEN AND POLICE MEMORIAL PLANNED Senator Capper Will Propose Legis- lation for Selection of Site in Capital. Legislation directing the Fine Arts Commission to select a site in the Dis- trict for a memorial to American fire- men and policemen killed in line of cduty is to be introduced in Congress early next session by Senator Capper of Kansas, it was made known today. The memorial would be in the form | of an appropriate statue or monument and would surmount a substructure containing records and rolls of honor of policemen and firemen who have given their lives in the performance of duty. Provision also would be mace for including the names of those so losing their lives in the future. Referring recently to the memorial, Senator Capper said: | “This memorial was suggested and is | vigorously supported by the National | Retirement Club for Firemen and Po- {licemen, an organization with member- | ships in all parts of the country. “Little more than a month ago Presi- dent Hoover in a radio acdress called upon our people to make ‘a popular hero of the policeman’ instead of in- dulging, as a small and misguided minority has done in the past, in a ‘glorification of cowardly gangsters’ A few weeks ago Bishop James E. Free- man of this city dedicated a stone in the great Episcopal Cathedral here to the memory of the firemen of America who had met death in the performance of their cuty. “I believe, as does the organization which originated the idea of the memo- rial that the American people want their Government to express in con- crete form their appreciation and ad- miration of the high herolsm of the brave men who continuously wage war against the criminals dealing in bur- glary, murder and arson.” BN and leave it to Mistol REe.

BY BESS FURMAN, Associated Press Staff Writer. Democratic Representative Joe Byrns who has no opportunity to grow up in the country, expects soon to be running the august Appro- priations Commit- tee in a “folksy” way. “I'll have nobody | at the door to stop | anybody from com- ing in,” said Byrns today. “I'm glad to see everyhody who wants to see.” | On_that princi- | ple, he had long| predicated the po- litical carer which will bring him, | if the Dezmocrats organize the House, the all-important job of spending the | country’s money— | $5,249,000,000 last year, somewhat less | this session if economy plans bear fruit Own Effort’s Reward. ‘The chairmanship will be, in a meas- ure, result of his own enterprise, for Byrns has been four years chairman of the Democratic National Congressional Committee, which takes much credit for the 1930 election turnover. Byrns has been ranking member of the Appropriations Committee ever since the Republicans assumed House | control in 1919. For eight years before | that he belonged—and thus got to watch all the billions crossing the counter dur- ing the World War. Speaking in staggering sums never makes Joe Byrns forget that he was once a barefoot boy on the hills of Robertson County, Tenn. and that he was later struggling young Nashville lawyer. He is exactly the sort of man any- body would expect to see where the in- vitation is “come right on in." Humorous and Kindly. He is humorous and kindly. Keen twinkle brown eyes look through bee- | tling brows. He is long and thin. He | plays with a knife on his watch chain | as he talks the language that every- body understands. s for his views on the new job: The Appropriations Committee is not a partisan committee—we don't play politics there,” said Byrns. “We are all interested in reducing expendi- tures—and there never was such a necessity of economy as at the present time.” In off-duty hours, Byrns likes to fish, see base ball games and foot ball games, read detective stories and biograg hies.
