The Special Crime Investigating Com- mittee of the House again will turn its attention to the Police Department next week and study the disciplinary machinery which has long been the target of attack by Representative Blanton, Democrat, of Teas. Inspector William G. Stott. head of the department's trial board. will be the first witness to take the stand when the hearis are resumed Mon- day at 11 am. He probably will be followed by other members of the board and the three District Commis- sioners who pass on trial board actions. | Records Requested. In addition. the committee has called on Inspector L. I. H. Edwards, assistant superintendent and personnel officer. for the trial board records over the last two years. Several particular cases in this period are to be carefully scrutinized. The committee’s decision to make the Trial Board the subject of the next phase of its inquiry was prompted by Blanton's recent action in reintro- ducing his bill providing for a civilian board and the disclosure of the record of Pvt. James P. Day of the twelfth precinct. who w eral days ago. Cites Criticism. “I do not mean to pass judgment in advance.” said Chairman Randolph. “There has been criticism of the de- partment on the ground that its morale is low and discipline is not sufficiently maintained. Such matters are of vital importance to a police department. ‘The committee intends to investigate them thoroughly. We shall begin with the actions of the Trial Board in the last two years. Our next step will be influenced by what we find there.” With next week's program com- pleted. Randolph put finishing touches on a radio speech on crime conditions in Washington to be broadcast tonight at 7:45 o'clock over WJSV and the Dixie network of the Columbia Broad- casting System. In this broadcast he plans to make a comparison of crime in Washington with other cities.

RANDOLPH FAVORS VOTE FOR DISTRICT {National Representation Is| Urged by West Virginian in Crime Forum. National representation for the Dis- | trict was recommended last night by | Representative Randolph, Democrat, | of West Virginia, chairman of the | Special House Committee investigating | crime here. | Speaking before the American Uni- | versity Crime Forum at 1901 F street, | the legislator, after deploring the| prevalence of murder and other crimes | here. declared | ONE DIES, 4 HURT IN AUTO CRASHES Two First Precinct Police- men Hurt in Overturning of Patrol Wagon. One person was fatally injured and four others hurt in traffic accidents here during the past 24 hours. Jemes Dodson, colored, 1700 block of Tenth street, died this morning at Emergency Hospital after being struck by a street car at Fourteenth and Euclid streets. His was the sixteenth traffic fatality of the year. Two officers, both from the first Monument Society Would Improve Weather-Beaten Section of Structure. CONSIDERABLE EXPENSE INVOLVED IN PROPOSAL Granite Favored to Replace Dam- aged Marble—Group Names New Members. Plans for a major operation on the lower part of the Monument—a com- plete resurfacing of the first 150 feet of the old shaft—were discussed and indorsed yesterday by the Washington National Monument Society at its annual meeting in the Metropolitan Club. The soclety acted after considering at length a communication ffom the | director of the National Park Service, | Department of the Interior, reviewing | the cleaning and repairing operations done during the past six months and pointing out that the improvements have failed to change materially the weather-beaten appearance of the lower part of the Monument. The park service director said the recent work on the obelisk has served to make it weatherproof and water- tight and has improved the looks of the upper portion of the structure, above the 150-foot level. Below that level, however, there is a large amount of surface breakage, spalling and ;stninlng which, according to the re- | port of the Park Service engineer, could be removed only by cutting the face of the marble back about 6 |inches and replacing it with new stone. precinct, were hurt yesterday after-| “The people here are looking 10| noon when the patrol wagon in which Congress to protect them. because | noy were responding to a burglar “I look forward to the day when | Street, overturned at Fifth and G every man and woman here will have | streets when the driver turned sud- the right of franchise.

But I believe | that a fine example has been set by | the other capitals of the world, which | give the vote to their residents. Vote Is Wholesome. “It is wholescme and healthy for the people to have a vote in their own affairs. and we should have it here.” | The question of franchise in the Capital bobbed up again during the “question and answer” period of the forum when Representative Randolph | | was asked about the failure of the | Police Department to get police re- | | placements and requested an increase in force from Congress. The speaker had told of his losing fight on the i floor of the House to have 35 police | restored to the force. when some one | in the audience asked: | “How about the citizens of the Dis- trict taking direct action?” “You need a vote,” replied the legis- lator. “That’s the real solution to your problems. All the resolutions that your trade and civic bodies pass and present to Congress are a help to you; they are a nice gesture, but they are not a vote on the floor of | Congress.” Crime Increase Deplored. The speaker deplored an “alarming ncrease” in crime here during the past few years, and declared Washington to be “one of the most crime-ridden cities of the whole world.” Citing numerous statistics as to the amount of arrests for various.crimes here, he charged that Washington in a com- parison with nine other cities of ap- proximately the same size was only second in murder, first in robbery, | second in burglary, first in grand lar- ceny and second in automobile thievery. | “More than 60,000 persons were arrested here last year.” said Repre- sentative Randolph, “that is more than 10 per cent of the entire popu- lation.” He added that during the past year, there were 81 mwurders; 36 arrests for manslaughter; 239 assaults with in- tent to kill; 961 robberies; 2,938 homes and business places burglarized, and 3,169 cars stolen. He expressed the belief the missing cars were partly due to at least a “few rings.” 200 CHIROPRACTORS HERE FOR CONCLAVE Convention Coincides With For- tieth Anniversary of Discov- ery of Science. Chiropractors from the District, Maryland and Virginia gathered at the Colonial Hotel today for their first annual tri-State convention. More than 200 are in attendance. The convention was timed to co- incide with the 40th anniversary of the discovery of the science and the 90th anniversary of the birth of the discoverer, Dr. David Daniel Palmer. Dr. Frank T. Shyne of Washington is in charge of the affair. Included among the speakers will be Dr. W. C. Schulze of Chicago, Dr. S. J. Burch of Indianapolls, Dr. H. Lewis Tru- benbach and Dr. Thure C. Peterson of New York and Dr. S. J. Lynch, dean | of the Lincoln College. Massachusetts avenue. He later was treated at Casualty Hospital for head injuries and X- rays were to be taken to determine whether he has a skull fracture. The taxicab which struck him was oper- ated by Omer L. Miller, 44. ‘The policemen injured at Fifth and G streets were Albert D. Mullins, 36, of 5231 Kansas avenue, driver of the patrol wagon, and Vance A. Hinley, 29, 1737 L street northeast. Mullins was treated at Emergency Hospital for injuries to the chest and shoulder and cuts about the face and went home. X-rays were to be taken { later to determine whether he has any fractures. Hinley was treated at Casualty Hospital for a leg fracture, cuts and bruises. Turned to Avoid Trolley. According to the police report, Mul- lins, driving west on G street, turned sharply to avoid striking a street car | making a turn from G street into Fifth street. In doing this, the partol wagzon hit a taxicab parked near the northeast corner of the intersection and overturned, badly smashing the top of the wagon. Motorman Alonzo T. Cooper, 30, of the 4600 block of Verplanck place, was operator of the street car, it was said. He was not held. The burglar alarm to which the officers were responding was caused by a short circuit in the wiring. Henry B. Bingham, 76, 1801 K street, escaped serious injuries when knocked down last night by an alleged hit-and- run automobile near his home. He was treated at Emergency Hospital | for cuts and bruises. 'BONUS BILL PETITION LACKS 99 SIGNERS Supporters Regard House Vote on $2,100,000,000 Payment Plan Assured. By the Associated Press. Supporters of the Patman $2,100,- 000,000 bonus bill today lacked but 99 names of having enough on a House petition to assure a vote on their proposal. Filed Thursday noon by Represent- ative Patman, Democrat of Texas, and open to signature only at the clerk’s desk and when the House is in session, the petition had been signed by 118 members at the close of yesterday’s session. A total of 217 signatures are needed, and Patman said he felt “certain they will be obtained.” Meanwhile, the bonus question stirred a bit in the Senate when Sen- ator Gore, Democrat of Oklahoma, proposed a downward adjustment in obligations of foreign countries as a means of obtaining funds to pay the soldiers’ bonus. A resolution introduced by him pro- posed that the President be authorized to negotiate with foreign governments, readjust their obligations and “to se- cure payments on such readjusted ob- lgations sufficient to pay the adjusted service certificates now outstanding.” Night Flying Over White House, Disturbing President, Forbidden Personal warnings have been issued by the Bureau of Air Com- merce to pilots of air transport lines operating out of Washington and to local private flyers to keep away from the White House and the downtown section of Washington at night as the result of disturbance of President Roosevelt and members of his family by a night-flying transport plane a few nights ago. Maj. R. W. Schroeder, in charge.of enforcement of airline regulations of the Bureau of Air Commerce, has called upon officials of the four air transport lines operating out ‘of Washington to route their planes around the downtown section of the city and to observe regulations against low fiying over the city at any time, it was stated today by J. Carroll Cone, assistant director. of air commerce. Joseph Shumate éind M. P. “Pop” Hi m, Bureau of Air Commerce word along personally to pilots not connected with the airlines, Cone explained. “We are trying to do what we can to correct this trouble without crip- pling local aviation operations,” Cone explained. Air commerce regulations prohibit flying over built-up sections of a city at an altitude of less than 2,000 feet. In thick weather, with low ceilings, however, transport planes must come in below the 2,000-foot level, it was pointed out. The pilots have been asked to keep away from the downtown section and especially from the vicinity of the White House when weather emergencies make low altitude approaches necessary. “We think the can be solved without endangering the lives of pilots or their passengers,” Cone said, “and this 15 what we are trying to a e No new regulations have been is- Con ,‘and none are con- inspectors, have passed the|! | Expense Involved. | Such an operation, it was stated iin the revort, would entail consider- | able expense, but could be accom- plished without endangering the :Monumem structurally. | The society expressed its gratifica- | tion at the improvements already ef- | fected and announced, in a resolution, its desire to co-operate in bringing about the suggested resurfacing. In this connection the society extended the term of the committee appointed a year ago to seek improvement of the Monument. This committee, consisting of Col. U. S. Grant, 3d; Frederic A. Delano and George E. Hamilton, was authorized to approve, on behalf of the society, any plans that might be made looking toward such resurfacing and to take any other steps that might be necessary “to secure and maintain the seemly Monument.” It was the opinion of the society | that the resurfacing should be done | with granite, selected to harmonize | with the marble of the upper por- tion, because of the greater durability of granite. New Members Named. The society elected two new mem- | bers. Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson was chosen to fill the vacancy caused | by the recent death of John Barton j Payne and Mark Sullivan, writer, was elected to succeed Rev. Dr. Charles Wood, who resigned because of ab- sence from the city. . Resolutions expressing the sorrow of the society over the death of Judge Payne were adopted. Admiral Gray- son recently was made chairman of the American Red Cross, succeeding Judge Payne. Justice Willis Van Devanter of the United States Supreme Court, who is first vice president of the society, pre- sided at the meeting. Other mem- rs present were Dr. Herbert Put- | nam, Right Rev. James E. Freeman, | Assistant Secretary of State R. Wal- | ton Moore, Logan Hay, Dr. Gilbert H. | Grosvenor, Dr. Cloyd Heck Marvin, | Maj. Gen. Omar Bundy, Rear Ad- | miral Walter R. Gherardi, Mr. Delano | and William R. Harr, secretary of the | organization. e TOKIO WILL PROBE [MISTREATMENT CASE i | | Ambassador Grew Reports Dis- tress of Japanese Over | Incident. Undersecretary of State Phillips said today that the Japanese foreign office has promised Joseph C. Grew, Ambassador to Japan, to make a thorough investigation of the alleged mistreatment of three Americans by Osaka police. The Ambassador has informed the State Department, Phillips said, that a report is expected within a few days. Ambassador Grew, reporting to the State Department today, also said that foreign office spokesmen have expressed their distress at the inci- dent. Affidavits submitted by persons with first-hand information, Grew reported, corroborated press reports that the Americans, employes of the Corn ‘| Products Refining Co., had been led through the streets of Osaka with their hands bound. R. S. K. Irvin, manager of the company, had called the police after a scuffie with a Korean in his offices and the police, unable to decide who was the ag- gressor, marched all concerned to the police station. REALTY FIRM FILES BANKRUPTCY PETITION H. R. Howenstein Co. Case Re- ferred to Referee by Justice Jennings Bailey. The real estate firm of H. R. Howenstein Co., 1315 H street, today filed a petition in woluntary bank- ruptcy in District Supreme Court. Justice Jennings Bailey adjudicated the company a bankrupt and referred the case to referee in bankruptcy Fred J. Eden. The petition was filed through the law firm*of Tobriner, Graham, Brez & Tobriner, and said the company was unable to meet its obligations in of assets and liabili- filed. | DR. CLAUDE S. BECK, Who made medical history at ‘Lakeside Hospital, Cleveland, with the performance of the first opera- tion in the history of the world for the rellef of angina pectoris, a heart ailment, which in the past has been regarded as incurable and eventually fatal. The patient is reported resting easily. The procedure was based upon labora- tory investigations carried out upon animals by Dr. Beck since 1932. Medical men believe that in all probability the operation will quickly become known as one of the most important medical dis- coveries of recent times. It may mean as much to the world as the discovery of a cure for cancer be- cause within the last few decades sudden heart attacks have rolled up an appalling death toll. —Wide World Photo. EDUCATION GROUP ENDING SESSIONS Score of Meetings Include Forum Discussion of Problems. A score of sectional meetings, in- cluding an all-day forum discussion of problems in the school and a business meeting late today, conclude the annual national conference of the Progressive Educa- tion Association. A large number of delegates left last night for Atlantic City to attend the annual convention of the depart- ment of superintendence of the Na- tional Education Association. ‘The sessions on today's program are | divided between the Mayflower and Wardman Park Hotels, with the all- and dignified appearance of the!day forum at the Priends Meeting| House on Florida avenue. Banquet Last Night. The high point of the convention was reached last night when the! annual banquet was held at the May- | flower. It was featured by addresses | by William W. Beatty, president of | the association, and Charles A.! Beard, well known historian. both of | whom defended the American right of free speech and free assembly. Beatty in particular pleaded for a | fight to keep academic freedom, warning the teachers that “we are | in for a tough time in the next two! years.” H “The fifth amendment to the Con- stitution is the bulwark of our lib- erties. If we don't stand for the! rights guaranteed us in the amend- ment—free speech, free assembly— then there will soon be no American democracy left.” Fathers Did Own Thinking. Dr. Beard discussed “The Fathers of Our Country and This Americ “The fathers of this republic.” he said, “did their own thinking and acting. They hired no lawyers, no press agents, no gumshoed lobbyists, no high-powered publicity experts to do their thinking and acting. When the hour came for revolution they made it.” Dr. William H. Kilpatrick of Teach- ers College, Columbia University, de- clared education and economics can not be separated and urged teachers to fight for realistic and progressive methods of teaching. GAMING RAID. HEARING FOR TWO IS POSTPONED Men Arrested After Visit by Po- lice Squad on Eighth Street Southeast Free on Bond. A Commissioner's hearing for two | men arrested after a gambling raid late Thursday in the 500 block of Eighth street southeast was continued today until March 11. Eugene F. Brinkley, 36, of the 500 block of Eighth street southeast, and James B. Frazier, 27, of the 500 block of Fourteenth street southeast, are at liberty under $2,000 bonds each on charges of setting up & gaming table. The place was abandoned when Lieut. George Little’s squad raided, but the officers reported they found a steel door, a blackboard, dice table and loud speakers. Brinkley and Frazier were arrested later in a lunch- room nearby. Occupants of the place presumably had been “tipped off” when one of them “spotted” a police undercover man on whose information a commis- sloner’s warrant was issued. Deaths Reported.

CAN HARDLY ASK PAYMENT Says Court Action Is Based on Set of Conditions Now Prevalent Throughout World. Digressing from his regular pro- gram to analyze the Supreme Court’s gold decision, Rev. Dr. Edmund A. Walsh, S. J., vice president of George- | town University, declared last night that “to inany observers this is an ex- ample of revolutionary process effected without public violence.” While believing in the justness of American claims on debtor nations, Dr. | Walsh declared that in his opinion | the gold decision renders “no longer tenable” the American policy of de- manding payments. “I do uot see how any such call for payment can ever again be made,” he said, “or foreign governments denied recourse to the practical repudiation which the Supreme Court finds pres- ent in the sttitude of the United States toward its own citizens.” Decision Revolutionary. The Seorgetown educator, in his second lecture on “The Progress of Revolutionary Thought,” discussed in general the concept of revolution and specific instances of violent outbreaks { throughout the ages. Referring to the recent Supreme Court decision as one phase of revo- lution in this country, he said: “The refusal of the court to re- verse the actfon of Congress in re-| spect to Government bonds, and the decision not to require actual pay- ment of what is actually due, is a conclusion obviously based on a set of conditions now prevalent through- out the entire world “It recognizes a changed buying | power of the dollar, assumes the ex- | istence of a price level not foreseen when the contracts were drawn, and takes due, though tacit, consideration of the Attorney General's argument that any contrary decision would in- vite chaos and confusion by adding $69.000,000,000 to the national debi— a catastrophe that might easily pre- cipitate the most dangerous crisis of | the depression period. “In that fear and in the general tenor of the Supreme Court’s recogni- tion of the abnormal emergency now existing I believe the country as a whole will concur. But let us not blind ourselves to the fact that the i victory. Mind Changed on Debt. “I, for one, have believed that the! debts owed to the United States by | foreign governments ought to be paid, not evaded, and international faith thus maintained. Since 12 o'clock noon of last Monday, February 17, that position in my judgment is no longer tenable by any American pos- sessed of a residuai logic or a sense of humor. “I have previously felt that each note dispatched by a Secretary of | State to a defaulting government was legally correct, ethically sound and well within the meaning of the honor expected among gentlemen. I do not | see how any such call for payment can ever again be made, or foreign governments denied recourse to the practical repudiation which the Su- preme Court finds present in the attitude of the United States Govern- ment toward its own citizens.” Dr. Walsh said he was well aware | of the difference in the jurisdiction | possessed by a government with re- spect to its own nationals and the relationship of juridical equality ob- taining between sovereign states which have no direct claim to benefit by the internal policy of another nation. That difference, he said, is a common- place of jurisprudence. “We cannot without hypocrisy re- fuse to our international debtors the pragmatic escape from a dangerous | situation which our Government has | {seized and legalized when it was a | debtor itself, he added. SEIZURE Oil PRIVATE PROPERTY IS UPHELD | Judge McMahon Dismisses House- breaking Charge Against Auto Finance Agents. When so stipulated by contract. automobile finance agents are within | their rights in entering private prop- | erty to seize cars upon which payments are overdue, it was held today in Po- lice Court by Judge John P. McMahon. He dismissed housebreaking charges against George and Jack McWilliams, cousins, who were arrested some weeks ago following the seizure of a car from a private garage in the 5500 block of Kansas avenue. When the case was called, Judge McMahon granted a motion by Wil- liam R. Lichtenberg, counsel for the two finance company employes, on the grounds the contract gave the com- pany the right to enter the private In arresting the McWilliams youths, | police had held that a contract per- | mitting entry into private property for seizure of automobiles was not valid under the law.
