.. CRME WA DENED BY BROWN Police Wead Tells Mid-City Association Lawlessness Shows Decline. Existence of a “crime wave” in Wash- ington was emphatically denied by Maj. Ernest W. Brown, superintendent of Metropolitan Police, in a brief talk to the Mid-City Citizens’ Association at its meeting last night in the Thomson School. “There is talk in the newspapers about our ‘crime wave,’ " Maj. Brown declared. “Folks, there is no crime wave in Wash- ington. As & matter of fact, I have studied the records and I find that there is actually less crime so far this month than there was in the same num- ber of days in last January. Two Murders Cleared. “But T'll tell you what gives people the impression that we have a ‘crime wave.” During the last few days there have been committed here two of the ‘worst crimes in police history, two mur- ders, and in those, I am glad to say, the police were able to clear up both cases | in short order.” Discussing the shootings of the last three days, Maj. Brown paid tribute not only to his men but to the United States attorney’s office, which, he said, has al- most established a record in the ed with which the cases were prepared for presentation to the grand jury. Foot Patrolmen Needed. Promising the citizens the best pro- tection the Police Department could offer, Maj. Brown said there was greater reed for what he called “the old-fash- joned patrciman.” The radio cruisers, he said, are doing excellent service, and he expressed conviction their number should be increased. However, he said he was determined to get as many po- licemen as possible on foot patrol duty. He paid tribute to the men of the de- partment by informing his audience that each policeman on the force gave approximately 15 days of extra duty during the past year. Henry C. Nestor, traffic policeman, sang several solos for the association. Other policemen guests included Capt. Edward Kelly, commander of the third precinct, and three of his men.
