PHYSICAL DIRECTOR
FOR POLICE URGED
Mai. Sullivan Also Asks That
Men Be Given One Day
Off in Seven.

Mental and physical training for
the police of Washington and an in
crease in the number of men to make
such training possible was recon-
mended to Commissioner Oyster by
Mai. Sullivan in his annual report to-
day.
"It is to be hoped" said the super
intendent, that the need for physical
training will be met by the employ
ment OF q competent and experienced
physical director and that the force
may be increased numerically to such
centage thereof to take both the
elemental and physical courses with
out the necessity of reducing the
patrol force to an extent incompatible
with the public interests"
One Day on in Seven.
Maj. Sullivan also urged upon the
Commissioner the desirability of CIV
Ing policemen one day OF in seven and
an allowance for the purchase of uni
forms.
The major says that if the uniform
allowance could be obtained it would
remove to a large extent the difficulty
Of keeping the force recruited to full
strength. In urging a day off for
guardians OF the law. the major point
ed out that in addition to the hours
during which they patrol the streets,
policemen spend much of their time
on reserve duty in the station house
and at the courthouse awaiting the
trial Of cases.

the Commissioners Of the necessity y

factor in making possible the pay

the negotiations thus far between the
American funding commission and the

On top of that the deficit for the COM

grow larger.
From a political angle the situation

Mr.. Harding will take full responsi-
bility for the stoppage Of bonus
legislation at this time. He feels
that the republican party will be in
jured much more extensively II the
deficit Is increased through the bonus.
He will try to assuage the disap-
pointment of the soldiers by stating
his sympathy with their desires. He
publicly pledged himself to work for
a bonus when he was q candidate in
the presidential primaries In Ohio.
But, as Mr.. Harding has himself re-
