The Police Problem.

NV HlLE other cities in the United States

wv HlLE other cities in the United States are
w wrestling with so-called "crime waves /"
and robberies, murders and deeds of violence are
matters OF everyday record, Washington is notice
ably free from crimes of the more serious and
spectacular kind. Every and then bold
hoIdSp is attempted but almost invariably the
newspapers of the following day record the arrest
OF the culprits involved
How this particularly excellent record is main
tanned seldom occurs to the average citizen or to
the statesmen who make the District their home
for a>iarge portion of each year. The results are
sufficient; there is no inquiry as to how it is done
Congress apparently believes there are no criminals
in Washington, that none ever visit the city and
that the members Of the Metropolitan police force
're used chiefly to keep the crowds back at firos
4rd paradss and furnish information to strangers

within our gates. Nothing could be wider Of the
mark.
Washington is comparatively free from crime
because its very limited police force is doing the
duty OF Organization twice its size; because
every man in the department from Chief Sullivan
to the newest cub patrolman is working more
and harder hours than would be expected of any
worker in private industry. Because the personnel
is limited in number. great care is exercised in
picking the best material with the result that Wash
ington's police force as a whole probably is the
most intelligent in the country.
1t is this intelligence and devotion to duty
inspired by capable chief with whom they. arc in
thorough sympathy and accord that has enabled
the District thus far to keep the much heraded
"crime-waves" away from its doors But how much
longer will the overworked force stand the strain?
Statistics in industry tell us that a capable body
of men, keyed up to the highest pitch will rate 100
per cent efficient for given length of time and
then will begin to go stale or become ragged"
from overwork When this time arrives the eff
cheney percentage begins to drop off, gradually at
first but by increasing spans, until there is a
complete smash general reorganization. Wash
ingtons police department is little different from
any other body performing given set OF duties
and while Chief Sulivan's men giving 100 per
cent protection now there will come time when
they must have relief from the tension or break
under the strain.
The District heads cognizaht Of these facts
and asked Congress for IFS more men,. In hear
ngs before the Congressional committees the vital
need for more men stressed. Yet the House
refused to add to the personnel. The Senate Dis
trict Committee was more kindly and made pro-
vision for seventy-hve additional men. This num-
Der is better than none but falls far short of what
is necessary. Keeping in mind that strict economy
was the watchword Chief Sullivan presented the
lowest figure compatible with efficiency and
duction below that figure reduces just that much
the margin of safety" When it is considered that
forty-eight men needed at to put into ef
feet Chief Sullvan's plan for giving the suburbs
adequate protection through the establishment of
call boxes it will be readily seen that out of the
the overwhelming number of twenty-seven men for
distribution through eleven precincts, the central
Office and substations. And this makes no provi-
sion whatsoever for additional traffic men, vital
necessity if Washington's toll of life limb and
property damage is to be kept to minimum
1t would be well if the Senate and Hosse
conferees who have the police bill before
them would think we'll on these figures before
applying the pairing knife. False economy in other
branches of District government taught its lesson
recently in heavy loss of life and vast property
door before the horse is scientifically
Otherwise there will be in order a short-sighted
policy which cannot but to the embarrassment
and discredit of the Congress if the warning is not
needed.

Wheat started higher in sympathy

the Argentine crop estimate of 15.-
100000 less bushels this year than

prices downward and absence of de-

Corn was weak in the early trade
