IS ACCUSED Of
SELLING DOPE
Patrolman David Crouch, of 9th
Precinct, Arrested After Al
legged Delivery of Opium.

Selling dope" Is not only on the
increase In Washington. but the
business has proved so profitable
that a policeman was lured into it,
according TO the police officials.
The policeman. who was arrested
Saturday night, is David Crouch,
forty-five years old. of the Eighth
precinct He was charged with VIC
lating the narcotic law and will be
given a hearing this afternoon before

that Roland l.. Davis. 1430 V street

opium from the policeman. 1t is

the actions Of the District Supreme
Court last week In putting two alleged
narcotic peddlers on probation. One
case was put on probation by the
Judge and the other was referred to
the probation officer for action and
investigation.
The only way to cure dope addicts
and clean up the city Of the dope ped
dlers is to send them somewhere for
treatment or confinement. the officials
say. 1t does no good to take them
to court, and then put them out on
probation. because It will only be a
matter of a few days before they are

HIGH COST OF BIBLES

the deficit of the Jewish Publication
Society, according to Simon Miller,
president Of the society, at a meeting
last night OF the local finance com.

CONSTRUCTION
C0STSHOLD|NG
Up D. {. SCHOOLS
Senator Phipps Declares Appro-
priations to Be Withheld Owing
to Exorbitant Bids.

The purse strings Of Congress will
be loosened for the District public
schools only when construction costs
have returned to normal, according
to Senator Lawrence Phipps of Col.
orado. chairman Of the District sub.
committee of the Senate Appropria-
tons Committee.
In a statement issued today SEN
ator Phipps declared he was strongly
In favor Of dealing in the broadest
possible way with the local school sit
uation, but again warned that Con-
gress would not consider exorbitant
bids made by contractors and deal
ers in building material.
THAT is the real stumbling block,
said Senator Phipps. ITO my mind
1t 10 the major factor in the situa.
ton. We can 60 ahead to make UP
for the ground lost during the war
period only when conditions return 10
normal. I believe that the firm stand
taken by the Senate subcommittee
last spring already has resulted in a
substantial lowering Of building costs
here"
Senator Phipps emphasized his de
termination to analyZe the school
budget sent in by the District Com
missioners and Director Dawes OF
the budget bureau, and to deal gen
erously in every way possible with
the District schools.
"All of us are distinctly aware OF
the conditions existing here" said
Senator Phipps. I'VE are in entire
sympathy with the plan to bring the
Washington schools up to date"
Senator Phipps is inclined to be.
lieve that the surplus revenues OF
the District of Columbia. now turned
into the Federal Treasury should be
used for the development Of a con
structive program for the schools
He is not ready to commit himself
on this point. however. in advance
Of legislation creating a permanent
