Group Crime Is Average. | Representative Chauncey W. Reed of Tllinois, member of the House Dis- | trict Committee and also of the Crime | Investigating Committee, gave his | personal opinion of the crime inves- | tigation in a speech before the Amer- | ican University Park Citizens’ Asso- | ciation last night. “We heard a lot of talk about ‘Washington being a crime-ridden city.” he said, but it is probably not much worse than other large cities. “We found a few cases of inefficiency in the Police Department, but no more than would be found anywhere else. I believe that all police in the Dis- trict, with the possible exception of the Capitol and White House police, should be under one head. When the committee makes its report it will | probably recommend such a reor- | ganization. I also believe that Maj. Brown should have the 35 policemen restored to him that were taken off by the economy act. Would Aid Prosecution. | Reed also said two bills will be in- | troduced soon to make prosecution | of criminal charges easier. Under the proposed laws, a person accused of a | crime and who intends to use the de- | fense of insanity or alibi will have | to give written notice to the prose- | cuting attorney of his intent to use | such defense, and also supply a list of | the witnesses he intends to call. This will give the prosecuting attorney time to check on the credibility of the | witnesses and prepare a rebuttal. | The restoration to the automobile liability bill of the section which re- | quires non-residents of the District |to post bond in accidents involving property damage was asked in a reso- |lution passed by the association. | Thomas E. Lodge stated that other | States had similar and even more | | drastic laws in regard to automobile | | liability. { Favor Divoree Changes. Another resolution introduced by | Lodge and passed by the association | favored the passage of the bill to in- crease the grounds for divorce actions in the District. ! Opposition to the propesed rent | commission to study rents in the| District was voted. This action was taken on the grounds that a similar | commission formed during the war was found to be unconstitutional be- | cause it was class legislation. W. A. Driggers of the Kenilworth Citizens’ Assotiation spoke before the association, asking its support of u' resolution passed by his association favoring the use of the old Benning race track site for a municipal air- | port. This matter was referred to the Gardens and Parks Committee for study. The Gardens and Park Com- | mittee was also asked to prepare a resolution asking for the purchase of | a playground and school site. ELECTRIFIED LINE DREAM FULFILLED | Pennsylvania's Motive Power One of Biggest P. W. A. Projects. New Completion of the electrification of | the New York to Washington passen- | g@er service of the Pennsylvania Rail- | road, announced vesterday, marks a | major phase of one of the greatest | projects financed by the Public Works | Administration. | _All passenger trains are now being | electrically propelled and connect at | trains of the Pennsylvania to Chicago | and St. Louis. ‘ On New Year eve, 1935, Secretary | Ickes and Pennsylvania Railroad offi- | cials signed P. W. A. contracts for a | loan of approximately $80,000,000 for completion of electrification, manu- 'lacturing equipment and other con- | struction purposes. The project was | the biggest private construction job in | the world under way during the past | 18 months. The first electric through train was |run between Washington and New | York on February 10 last, and the | electrified service of passenger trains | has been increased steadily since so | that now the entire passenger service | is electrified, fulfilling a railroad ambi- | tion over a score of years. | The completely electrified passenger service of the Pennsylvania embraces 679 daily trains, of which 191 are | through trains and. 488 are semi-ex- press and commuter trains, some of which have motors in each car and | no electric locomotive.

At the same time the bureau an- stated, is “entering other enterprises.” Fay was head of the New York office throughout the Lindbergh investiga- ion that resulted in the arrest of Bruno Richard Hauptmann. | Fay, it was understood, has ac- | cepted an important position, at much higher salary, with a private corpora- tion. In a letter to Fay, Director Hoover accepted the agent’s resigna- tion “with reluctance and regret.” Whitley was in charge of the bu- Jon.esbnm,d Ark., he is 32 years old and a graduate in law of Washington and Lee University.

Robert Hichens, noted English ncv- elist and author of “The Garden of | | Allah,” which was staged in prac- tically all English-speaking countries and created an artistic—and box- | office—sensation some years ago, has been looking over the souls of “big business men.” Next Sunday in “This Week,” The Star’s new colorgravure magazine, he tells what he knows in a short story, “House on the Sands.” Mr. Hichens is joined by two other Englishmen in making up the literary bill of fare in “This Week.” P. G. ‘Wodehouse, of course, continues his rollicking story of Hollywood, “Laugh- ing Gas,” about which most people in town are talking; and Sir Philip | Gibbs, who was noted as a war cor- respondent in the World War, writes a romantic tale of two young lovers in riot-ridden, revolutionary Paris. There’s & “murder without a mo- tive” wrapped into a hair-raising yarn by Carl Clausen, and an unusual short-short story of a man who was married to his second love, haunted by his first, ‘What happens to one woman who | “worshiped” her husband, and tried too hard to stay young, is the subject of a story by Katharine Newlin Burt, called, appropriately, “Love Birds.” | It tells why some women succeed in | holding their husbands, while others | fail. It's a fine, true-to-life drama of | married life today. o0 Besides the high-class fiction, this | Sunday’s “This Week” will bring you | special articles by Lowell Thomas on | Babe Ruth; Clyde Eddy, first man to | twice fight his way through the Col- orado Canyon, and other short fea- | tures. !
