INSURANCE FOR POLICE CONSIDERED BY BOARD | Injuries to Officers While on Duty Prompt Move by Prince Georges Commission. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. UPPER MARLBORO, Md., Septem- ber 7.—Because several officers have been injured in line of duty and re- quired costly medical attention, the Prince Georges County Commission- ers are considering placing insurance | on members of the force. The latest case to come before the board is that of Sergt. Ralph Brown, who had to pay $260 for treatment for injuries incurred in arresting an intoxicated person. While it is the board’s policy not to pay medical bills, even those re- ceived on duty, it has done so in the past in some instances, notably that of Officer Claude Reese, seriously injured by an automobile. The officers feel they are entitled to hospital expenses and doctors’ fees when hurt while enforcing the law.

Roosevelt attacked the administra- tlon on a wide front. He described farm crop control programs as “luna- cy”; charged the administration’s cot- ton and other crop policies had thrown hundreds of thousands out of work and forfeited the Nation’s ex- port market in cotton and other com- modities, and pictured the tax toll exacted by “the most colossal bureau- cracy the country has ever known” as sapping . the resources of every American family. Two Subjects Important. In a detailed discussion of farm ’rehe( policies, the former Governor | of the Philippines dwelt particularly with two subjeets of importance to New England—the cotton situation and the recently enacted potato-con- trol law. He pictured a fall of 60 per cent in cotton exports and against it con- trasted booming business in the cot- ton fields of Brazil, where, he asserted, “more than one Brazilian told me that President Roosevelt was a Santa Claus as far as Brazil was concerned.” 'CAPITAL KIWANIANS PERFORM TOMORROW Washingtonians Will Entertain at Session to Be Held by Richmond Club.
