'Ths purpose OF the meeting" said
Mp. Browne. 'sWas merely TO appoint
a committee 70 see that there were
no featurs Of th bill OF q drastic
natur that would interfere with
building in the District OF Columbia.
We need more buildings here, not
only TO meet the increase IN popula-
ton from the outside, but also to
take care Of the normal growth Of
the city. We do not think Il IS right
for Congress 10 do anything that
would cause eiuVestOrs not to build.
II Congress VIII not let private con-
cerns build, then let the Government
build, but the fact remains that we
need more houss."
II was generally agreed that build
inE IN Washington must be encOur-
aged The intention OF the meeting
NJ the civic orga uiZafiOuR however
was not to fight the Ball rent bill,
but merely TO inquire into its nature
and to see that no provisions were
included in IL that would discourage
building.
The committee as appointed will
meet tomorrow to make definite ar
rangements to hold a hearing be-
fore the Congressional conference
committee.

Recommended Increase.

Mr.. Brownlow recommended an in
crease for the four police surgeons
from $40 to $2,5O0.
Patrol drivers receive $500. An in
crease to $1,000 is recommended.
Should they be taken into the police
as pOlicemes, Mr.. BrOwnlow recon-
mended that those taken on since war
was declared be required to take the
physical examination. Because Of the
shortage of men, IL was necessary to
take on some during the past two
years who could not take the exami-
nations, he said.
Telephone clerks would get an in
crease from $500 to $1,000 under Mr..
BroWnlow's recommendation. They
not only operate boards, but receive
and report complaints OF the public,
he said.
There are new additions being
made 10 the force daily, Mr.. Pull
man told the committee, but they are
living in the hope that Congress will
grant an increase.
There were times last year. he said,
when there were $50 to 200 vacancies
in the department, but only an aver
age Of one out Of every ten applicants
was acceptable to the department.

formation he has given has been
corrobOrated from out side sources.
Virtually since the crime vas dis
covered the police have worked on
the theory that a drug fend was con
nccted with it and the discovery OF
this evidence today corroboratcs their
first theory. The crime was one Of
the most brutal in recent police an
mails and was typical Of the work Of a
drug flend.
Hold Sylvia Debauehed Wood.
Sylvia. the police say. was assOcia-
ated with Washington drug trafick-
ers. He was probably Instrumental
the police believe, in enlsting young
Wood, En upsophisticated youth, in
the work OF obtaining drugs. The
fact that young Wood moved to a
place on Eleventh street several
weeks ago cOrrobOrates the police
theory that he was being used as a
tool Of the drug ring He formerly
lived with friends Of his family and
the police believe he moved through
fear they would discover his Illicit
dealings.
How far the youth had become in
vOlved in the drug traffic is a matter
which the police hope TO learn today.
Through underground channels the
ponce are obtaining luA0Lll4e klOAA a.
most hourly. Every available facil-
ity Of the police department is being
used.
The fact that an extensive traffic in
drugs is involved, coupled with the
tact that the perpetrators Of this
crime may be responsible foF a num-
Der Of robberies and other crimes that
have been committed here in recent
months has elected the greatest ef-
fort on the part Of the pClice.
Sylvia EIudes Detective.
Search for Sylvia and his myster-
ious woman companion in Chinicoths,
Ohio has failed utterly. Followed
there on a "hot traiI' by Headquar-
ters Detective Fred Cornweu, Sylvia
successfully covered up his tracks
and disappeared. That accOmplices
IN Washington have aided him in
avoiding capture IS a theory borne
out by his actions in using several
different trains for a passage that
could have been accomplished in a
much shorter period, the police de-
clare.

Asked IL the bill now pending and
carrying salary increases for the

situation, but he had hoped that

'HThis increase would help, but 7
would be glad to see even more for
them. I have always contsdded that
the police should be the best paid Of

Commissioners. Brownlow told the
committee that at the time the bill
was offered. some weeks ago, only IN :
police were considered. He hoped, he
said, in time to include civilian en-
plOyes, many Of whom receive less
than 81 900 annually. e.--
He recommended that janitors now
receiving 5000 be increased to 81, ,OSO;
that labOrers be increased from 5000
TO S1.OSO: that messengers be in
creased to 5000; guards from $500 to
$1yOSO; the harbOr patrol workers
from 5000 to $1,OSO.
Mr.. BFoWuloW was asked BY Con
gresham Wheeler about charges that
nothing had been done when police
surgeons reported on insanitary
sleeping quarters OF patrol drivers.
when heard Of these charges I
sent Mrs. BroWnlOW to investi gate
all OF the stations" Mr. BrownlOw
said. Having been married to her
for ten years, knew she was a good
housekeeper. She reported that they
were all clean, with the exception Of
a room that was kept by one of the
drivers. The rest Of the station was
in good condition. but the driver did
not keep his own room properly
