In proposing revision of the meth- od of selecting police captaine, the committee advised the Commissioners to abolish the piesent competitive written examina‘ions and that the selection of lieutenants for promotion be based on a merit fystem. A similar change was suggested by the House Crime Committee and also by ancther committee of Disirict cfficials beaded by Assistant Corporaticn Couns:l Ed- ward W. Thomas. The Preityman committee proposed that in piomo- tion of lieutenanis to captains the candidates be rated 70 per cent for efficiency and cxperience, 20 per cent for practical wriiten auestions and 10 per cent for mental tests. “The present method of 50-50 per- centages interposes too great obstacles in the way of efficient officers with limited education and gives a dispro- pertionate premium to those with re- cent school experience,” the commit- tee said. “A police captain should be selected for his aggressiveness, his ability to lead and control men, his character and general police efficiency of an outstanding sort. Examinations do not reveal these traits. recorded experience does. In our view the cap- tains are the keys to police efficiency.” AR, WASHINGTON, Noted Australians to Visit Here| P[]”BE PRUMU"UN D. C, turbance over the incident had com- pletely passed away. It appears that Capt. Morgan was undiplomatic in repeating and discussing before his men, without having first personally investigated the basis of the report, a remark made to him by a resident of the community.” The committee’s last recommenda- tion was that the time was now op- portune for the Commissioners to issue to all law enforcement agencies under their control “the imperative neces- sity of enforcing all laws to the last letter.” QUEZON URGES HELP FOR PACIFIC AIRLINE Operation Would Be Great Bene- fit to Philippines, He Tells Legislature. B the Associated Press. MANILA, July 5—Manuel Quezon, president of the Senate, urged the Philippine Legislature Wednesday to take measures designed to aid early establishment of Pan American Air- ways’ proposed trans-Pacific line. “Operation of an airline between the United States and the Philippines | would be one of the greatest achieve- | ments in transportation history of the | islands,” Quezon said in a statement. | “I will 'see what can be done with the | company's application for a franchise. I will confer with my colleagues of the Legislature.” The Pan American Airways plane clipper has made flights between Ala- | meda, Calif.; Honolulu and Midway !

Changes for Privates Asked. change in efficiency ratings for pri- vate, saying that the opinion of the | sergeants should be given considerable weight. It recommended that all pri- vates be rated annually by their ser- geants and that such ratings be con- firmed or revised, either upward or downward, by the officer in charge of the precinct, and that these ratings be given major weight by higher head- quarters when considering men for promotion. In recommending a tightening up of paroles granted to prisoners, the committee said the Parole Board should give primary and major con- sideration to the applicant’s criminal record. “An offender who has had previous convictions owes a debt to society which should not be lightly disregarded,” the Commissioners were told. Quoting Sanford Bates. head of the Federal Prisons Bureau, the com- mittee said the “law of diminishing confidence applies.” The body also said: “An habitual criminal should forfeit his claim to parole relief. We deem this one of the most important phases of the criminal situation both here and over the country.” | Purther study was recommended of | the proposal for decentralization of the Traffic Bureau. The committee made no recommendation as to a change, saying the bureau must stand or fall by its record of accomplish- ment. Tip-oft Evidence Lacking. The section of the report dealing with the fifth precinct states: “We found no evidence of a tip-off on the raid by fifth precinct officers at 117 B street southeast.
