TWO MORE FACNG BRUTALITY TRIAL Policemen Bremmerman and | Clark Accused of Assault } on Prisoner. | The trial of Policemen Charles H Bremerman and Hollis L. Clark, charged with assaulting Thomas Mc- Keever Williams, a colored prisoner now serving a six-month term for joy-riding, | was resumed in the District Supreme | Court today, the scene again shifting to the “gymnasium” of the old second | precinct station, where the two officers | are alleged to have attacked Willlams to get & confession from him. Witnesses were put on the stand to- day who corroborated Williams' testi- mony that the policemen struck him | repeatedly with a club, fists and a blackjack while standing on his toes with his hands in the air in the locker | room. Joseph E. Brown, one of the col- ored boys, was called to the stand after | Williams had completed his testimony earlier in the day His testimony was practically the same as that given by Williams. He confirmed earlier testimony by williams that the latter had repeatedly dened telling the policemen he was con- nected with various burglaries about which five or six colored youths were | being questioned at the precinct station. He also told about the blows in the head for which Williams had stated he was treated as late as last month, the | alleged assault having taken place Junc | 25, 26 and 27 Williams’ testimony and cross-exam- ination took more than two hours. His unconscious humor on at least two oc- casions proved & pitfall for Defense At- torney James O'Shea, despite the THE French Beauty SELECTED AS PRETTIEST IN NATION-WIDE CONTEST, MLLE.

The first time O'Shea wanted the jury to get the impression that it was the extreme heat of Summer that caused the two police- men to take off their coats and roll up their sleeves during the “setting-up ex- ercises” through which the two boys were being put. “It was a hot night, wasn't it?” he asked Willlams. “Well, it was hot for me,” the witness | taxpayers V¢ replied, as jury and spectators laughed THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1932. DAY TS ASSALED BY CUSTONS GROLP Association Defends Salaries of U. S. Workers in Appeal to Congressmen. H Members of Congress who are on various committees particularly inter- ested in the question of salaries of Gov- ernment em;floyes, including appropria- | tions, civil service and expenditures in the executive department, today re- ceived a long statement from the mem- bers of the National Customs Service Association submitting reasons for op- posing any legislation to reduce salaries of Federal employes. George L. Connell of the New York | Custom House is president of the asso- clation and Harry L. Robinson of the Baltimore Customs House is financial secretary-treasurer of the Customs | Service Association. | Objection Summarized. In summarizing its objection, the as- sociation says “that if such a wage cut plan is made effective it will: “(1) Increase distress already so widespread by taking from circulation the buying power of the amount of these reductions. This procedure is not only contrary to all sound economic principles, but, as all economists are agreed, will act to further put off the | plan of financial recovery. “(2) It will set an example to or- ganizations in private enterprise per- haps further to reduce their pay roll, | thus continuing endless, vicious circle | of wage cut, unemployment and a | further reduction of buying powers of | those receiving wages. “(3) It will lighten the burden of the little because of the very small amount in total which would be saved. In this connection ft must be remembered that the tax burden due to Federal employes’ salaries has already been lightened considerably during the past two years and, of course, the same, will apply to the impending fiscal year's budget. Retrenchment Explained. “This has been accomplished by & policy of retrenchment which has with- held all salary promotion during this time, except statutory increases, and has also resulted in the abolition) of all positions made vacant through them or resignation. “The net result of this retrenchment | has been a reduction annually in all departments of the actual salary bud- get and in addition has thrown on the | rematnder of the Federal workers the | burden of doing the work formerly | done by those whose positions remain i unfulfilled.” A e .
