A 14-year-old girl's story of how she was dragged into an alley near Eye street and New Jersey avenue last midnight and criminally assaulted re- sulted in the arrest early today of a young man living in the neighborhood. The girl and a chum had attended a play at Langley Junior High School and were on their way home when a man approached them and tried to open a conversation. The two girls ignored him and sought to hurry on home, police were told. ‘The 'man persisted, however, and seized one of the girls, pulling her into an alley. The second girl ran screaming in search of a policeman. Investigators said the girl had been criminally assaulted before her friend could bring aid. From a description furnished by the girls, police arrested a 22-year- old youth living in the vicinity. He was identified at the precinct early m! Mfidhh alleged victim.

A 3 Garde st Thuut et e ROAD MAY GETAD || POPE ABANDONS SUCCESS 1S SEEN BY FUND CHANGES Representative Seeks Allo- cation Shift to Improve 0ld Georgetown Route. BETHESDA, Md., December 19.—A bill to change the allocation of State road funds, which would provide money to widen and resurface the Old Georgetown road, will be sup- ported in the next meeting of the State Legislature by Miss Ruth E, Shoemaker, Montgomery County Rep- resentative. Miss Shoemaker described the pres- ent system of allocating funds, which is based upon the muleage in each county in 1910, as “antiquated” and in need of change to give a fair dis- tribution of road funds to counties, including or near large metropolitan centers. A more modern method of alloca=~ tion, now in use in many States, she explained, is to allot road funds in proportion to the amount of taxes collected in each county or, in effect, to permit each county to retain a cer- tain proportion of the funds it col- lects. Disparity Is Illustrated. To illustrate the disparity which Shoemaker cited the example of Car- roll County, which has a population of only about 38,000, as compared to 60,000 in Monigomery County, and about 10 square miles less area, yet received in 1935 more than $144,000 for lateral roads, as compared with $122,000 for Montgomery County. She declared: “When we see that Carroll County and others in the State have smaller population, smaller area and smaller | road mileage than Montgomery Coun= ty, yet receive more money for roads. | we can appreciate how this antiquated needs revising.” Miss Shoemaker outlined a plan | of co-operating with the Baltimore | 3 | delegation in the Legislature to secure " | & reorganization of the present sys- | tem because of a similarity of inter- “Washington is only one of the | cities which is faced with this prob- | lem of securing money for much | needed improvements in its road sys- | tem.” Miss Shoemaker pointed out. 1 “The Old Georgetown road is one | of the outstanding examples of the | need for additional funds for this sec- tion. which deserves to secure more | funds by virtue of its paying a larger tax bill. “With more money, we will be able to eliminate the hazards which per- the road frequently know exist, and | only by continually pressing our de- | mands can we secure what we want.” Increase in Doubt. The Old Georgetown road would have to be widened and resurfaced | with funds allotted from the State | road fund, but what the increase | would be for Montgomery County, if | | the present system of allocation were | | changed to the proposed method, Miss | Shoemaker was not prepared to esti- | mate. The county retains 1!, cents of the gasoline tax for lateral roads, or about $125,000 this year, while the State re- ceives about $166.000 from its 2-cent share of the same tax. A change in the allocation would mean about $35.- 000 more for Montgomery County, all to be used for lateral roads, Miss Shoemaker estimated. How much more of the State's share Montgomery County would get she was unable to say, except it would be “considerable.” She is 1investigating that phase of | the question with a view to rnlullnl’ support in the legislative effort. Both Miss Shoemaker and Joseph A. Cantrel, another of the Montgom- ery delegation in the State Legisla- ture, expressed gratification at the | prospective visit here of Chief En- gineer Nathan L. Smith of the Mary- land Roads Commission, and an- nounced that they would welcome the opportunity to confer with him on the Old Georgetown road project, which | he is coming here to study. He has been reported favorably dis- posed toward plans for improving the | road, in order to eliminate traffic haz- ards and eliminate traffic congestion caused by the heavy traffic. MRS. MARY C.

BARNES. —Harris-Ewing Photo. Hoover ___ (Continued From First Page) agents found a detective had kept members of the Karpis-Barker kid- to capture them. At the trial of a member of this gang on Federal kidnaping charges, it was testified by a Government witness, | forgaerly allied with the gang. that $25,000 of ransom money had been earmarked for a certain police cap- tain. There have been numerous other incidents to discourage F. B. L agents in their efforts to pro- mote co-operation among the various | law enforcement agencies. The most advanced step toward ce- menting of good relations was the establishment of the F. B. I. National Police Academy, through which the bureau affords free training to rep- resentatives of State, county and city police departments. With reference to the New York raid that has been so much criticized, | Hoover disclosed that had it not been for the sharp eyes of an F. B. 1. agent on a roving surveillance, Brunette might have eluded the trap that snared him. He told how this agent, “scouting™ the neighborhood a block away from Brunette's apartment, spotted a man resembling the kidnaper on the street | | about midnight. A woman was with the suspect. “Shadowing” the couple, the G-man | trailed them until they entered the | ‘West 102d street apartment. Neither the New York police nor the | New Jersey police were aware of the | fact that Brunette had gone into the | This was because the New | York police had left the scene about four hours earlier for reasons known only to them, and because the New Jersey troopers, stationed in a nearby | building, had not seen Brunette enter | the apartment, due to darkness. The F. B. 1. director stressed that had his men wished to put anything over on the police that was the time to do it. Since neither police agency was aware that a Federal agent had seen Brunette go in the apartment, it would have been an easy matter to proceed with the raid without | notifying the police. Police Notified. Instead of pursuing that course, Hoover said, the agents notified the New Jersey officers of Brunette's ap- | pearance and invited them to join m’ raiding the apartment. Since no New York police officer was on the scene at the time, the raid began without them. After the raid was in progress, Hoover said, Deputy Police Commis- sioner Byrnes MacDonald and an- other New York officer arrived and joined in the firing. After Brunette surrendered, MacMonald drove the| Federal agents and their prisoner to the F. B. 1. office. As for the allegations of unneces- sary gunplay, Hoover said a careful check of ammunition used by his men has shown that exactly 62 bul- lets were fired into the apartment, instead of the “hundreds” charged in some press accounts. Brunette during most of this firing kept out of range in an alcove of the kitchenette. The apartment was dark throughout the battle. He pointed out that less than 10 Federal officers and the two New Jersey troopers effected the apprehen- sion within an hour. Their efforts were retarted, he explained, by the fire that resulted when a tear gas candle ignited window draperies. Fire- men were warned that a desperate gunman was in the apartment and none of their lives was endangered by gunfire, Hoover asserted, because the only shooting after firemen arrived was that which was directed into the apartment from the front by New York officers and that which took place between Brunette and Federal agents at the rear. ‘The head G-man recalled that New York police, in effecting capture in 1931 of Francis (“Two-Gun”) Crow- ley, are reported to have used mare than 100 men and to have poured fear gas and machine-gun fire into crolley‘l nmmmm for mon than “menldwtolun hemmnunlyhm he com- muu.)

Barnes, 78, noted Indian fignter, author, legislator and forester, who was a well-known figure in Wash- ington for many vears, died suddenly | in a Phoenix (Ariz) hospital Thurs- day night, according to an Associated Press dispatch.

The 79-year-old pontiff reluctantly ordered invitations, issued yesterday, recalled upon the advice of his physi- cians, prelates said. Informed sources said the Pope was impressed by the fact that every un-| usual exertion during the last few days had been followed by a period of weakness. Instead of receiving the cardinals, the pontiff will see them individually | during the next few days in his sick room. Again last night, doctors kept a constant vigil over the Pope to quiet | his sleep when shortness of breath caused him to gasp and stir in his bed. Within, and outside the Vatican, Catholich speculated over the Pon- tiff's successor when prelates in the‘ Holy See disclosed that Cardinal Pa- | celli, papal secretary of state, had taken over temporary direction of ecclesiastical affairs. The realization grew that Pope Pius might never recover completely. | Passes Calm Night.

BACKGROUND— Following convening of the Buenos Aires Peace Conference several weeks ago and the address of President Roosevelt warning war= minded powers against aggressions in the Western Hemisphere, the conference settled down to har- monious deliberations. Secretary Hull submitted the United States proposal for co-ordinating eristing peace instruments and developing meutrality policies. By the Associated Press. BUENOS AIRES, December 19.—The chief objectives of Secretary of State Cordell Hull's 6.000-mile trip to South America were slated for realization to- day. A plenary session of the Inter- American Peace Conference was ex- pected—among a score of other con- ventions and resolutions—to approve four projects inspired or drafted by the head of the United States delega- | tion. They were designed to insure the Western World against conflict by bet- tering cultural and commercial rela- tions among American nations and by establishing safeguards for neutrality in the event of war anywhere in the world. Approval Expected. Favorable action was taken for granted after the projects received unanimous committee indorsement. Besides the neutrality convention, they included resolutions proposing trade equality among American states and reductions of tariff barriers. The neutrality resolution, revised after long and secret debate, does not g0 as far as the United States recom- mended in the original draft Members of the delegation were quoted as pleased, however. They were said to believe approval by the 21 republics represented at the parley would enhance the principle of con- suitation and, in an emergency, would lead to common action in keeping the Americas out of other people’s wars. Seek Reconciliation. As the conference entered its con- cluding phase, pressure was renewed to get Bolivia and Paraguay to re- relations before the meeting’s adjournment, scheduled for December 23.

In September, 1881, he s | awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor “for bravery in action with hostile Apache Indians.” A native of San Francisco, where he! 1858, Mr. Barnes' | was born June 21, early life was spent in the far West. He was a cowpuncher and live stock herder, and began his service in the Army on July 1, 1879.

Ten years ago, when Congress au- thorized the Forest Service to locate ! specimens of long-horn cattle of the type that made history in the early | West, Mr. Barnes traveled through the Southwest and rounded up many cattle of this breed, which was rap- idly approaching extinction. The ‘breed is being preserved in a Govern- ment reservation at Wichita National Forest in Oklahoma, as a result of | his efforts. He was the first secretary of the | | American Live Stock Association and, | after retirement from the Forest Serv- | ice, was appointed secretary of the National Board of Geographic Names.

Footprints on the dust-covered stairway of an unoccupied building early today led to the arrest of a man suspected, police said, of having | accidentally set fire to the structure while trying to keep warm. | Policeman George N. Nicholson, first | precinct, was on the second floor of | the structure at 310 Indiana avenue, writing a report of the blaze, which firemen had just extinguished, whenf he noticed the footprints. Knowing the building, which be-| longs to the District, was supposed to. be unoccupied, the officer followed the | prints to the floor above. There he found Nick Fields, 600 block of D street, who was locked up for investi- | gation. Pields, the policeman reported, first explained he had started a fire in a fireplace, but later denied it. The blaze did little damage. All that was left, then, of the con- ference’s nearly-completed business before committees were a Central American solidarity declaration, & Chilean plan to establish bilateral conciliation commissions to foster neighborly friendships and a resolus tion denouncing the use of force to collect debts. —e OHIO OFFICIAL INDICTED FOR THEFT OF $31,000 Deputy Auditor Accused of Tak- ing Securities From Safety Deposit Boxes.
