Violators.
WILL ASSIST CLEANUP

The Prohibition Bureau has decided
to clothe "a members of the local
Police Department with the authority
of dry agents as a means Of making
enforcement Of the Volstead act more
effective in Washington, Commits
sioner Oyster was advised today.
This action, Commissioner Oyster
indicated. will mark the beginning of
an intensive drive against all vio-
lators OF the dry law.
Heretofore policemen obtaining in
formation Of violations Of the ,pro-
hibition law have been unable to ask
for warrants or conduct the raids
without waiting for a regular pro-
hibition officer to accompany them.
Commissioner Oyster requested Pro-
hfbition Commissioner Haynes to
make certain number Of policemen
enforcement officers, believing such a
step would greatly expedite the ap-
prehension Of bootleggers.
Two to Each Precinct.
There are twelve police precincts COW
ering the entire city, and the plan is to
make two plain-ciothes men in each pre-
cinct prohibition enforcement officers.
The next move will be for Maj. Sulli-
van and the Commissioner to select the
list Of men to be given the additional
authority. and submit the names to the
prohibition bureau. The Commissioner
indicated that care would be exercised
to select the best men available for this
special work.
District officials said today that the
extension of this authority to members
Of the Police Department will not mean
that the department will work alone in
enforcement of the dry law here. On
the contrary, they regard the move as
a step toward close cooperation be-
tween the two agencies in carrying out
the law.
precinct men, because Of their knowl-
edge Of conditions existing in their re-
spective territories, should be able to
round up many violators of the Volstead
law.

Expect Gertrud Rask to Find Base

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
REYkJAVIK, Iceland, August Ii
The United States cruiser Raleigh, ex.
ploring the east coast Of Greenland. in
search of a landing place for the Ameri-
can Army round-the-world flyers, today
reported to Rear Admiral Thomas P.
Magruder that she was in a dense fog
80 miles east-southeast Of Angmagsalik
and that she had encountered many
floating ice hummocks.
While the vessel was attempting to
gain the sea clear Of ice a hummock
touched it. slightly damaging the star
board forward propeller, according to
the report to the admiral.
In a statement this morning Admiral
Magruder said it was doubtful il Ang-
magsalik could be used as a base by the
scout planes which are being carried by
the cruisers Raleigh and Richmond to
explore the coast. A plan had been con-
sidered whereby these planes would
carry fuel for the round-the-worldp planes
over the Angmagsalik ice fields.
The Danish supply ship Gertrud
Rask which is icebound southeast Of
Angmagsalik and which reported yes
terday that she needed coal, expects
to clear the ice pack in two days, she
reported today. Flight Commander
Lieut.. Lowell H. Smith has engaged a
trawler here to carry 300 tons of
coal to the Danish ship and to refuel
her at the edge of the ice.
Lieut.. Smith and Lieut.. Erik H.
Nelson believe that the hope of pro-
viding a base at Angmagsalik or at
some point further south on the east
coast of Greenland, now depends on
the Gertrud Rask.
Confident Of Success.
There Is no question of calling of
the American Army world flight be-
cause of ice conditions around the
shore Of Greenland, according to a
statement issued on board the cruiser
Richmond, flagship OF the conveying
squadron. In the opinion of Rear
Admiral Magruder, comampder OF the
squadron. the flight will be completed
successfully, barring possible acci-
dents or unforeseen adverse weather.
Three Possibilities Open.
The aviators are faced with three
possibilities in making their next
hop. First, the Raleigh by means
of her scout planes may find . safe
landing haven for them on the Green
land coast: second. they may fly to
Angmagsalik harbor which 10 free

can take enough fuel there to provide
for the next lap, and third. they may
attempt a nonstop flight from this
port to Ivigtut, on the western coast
of Greenland, or to a base near Cape
Farewell, on the southernmost tip.
The last-named project would entail a
fight of 7s0 miles. necessitating the
hazardous task of landing at sea
to refuel from the Raleigh.

ROME, August 11.-Daring anti

Of participants and in the fervor of
the demonstrators, although there were
no seious clashes between them and
officers or government supporters.
Considerable importance is attached
to the events by the newspapers.
The Saturday demonstration centered
around the Piazza Colonna in front of
the Chigi palace, where the Commun-
lists shouted again and again, Down

mo-"
Last night the Communists attached
red flags to telephone poles. The news

aspect of the demonstration on both
days was the noticeable Indifference on
the part of the carabineers. Some of
them comment that the carabineers
may have been tacitly showing SYM

Grady Fills Need by Buying
and RemodeIing Old
Houses

Homes for the man who can
afford to pay $40 a month after he
makes a small cash payment is one
of the most pressing demands on
Washington realtors, in the opinion
Of J. Dallas Grady, who has been
specializing in this type Of prop.
erty for the last four years.
Grady sought to satisfy some of
his customers with this type Of
house by purchasing and remodel
ing rows Of we'll built old houses
which did not have modern con.
veniences. Installation Of hot wa.
ter heat, bath and other home fea.
lures has made this type Of home
peculiarly desirable for a large
number Of Washington families.
Among the Grady operations IL
a row of houses in the 500 block of
X street southeast, the 900 block
of Fifth street southeast, the 900
block of Sixth street southeast,
and the 500 block OF Virginia avenue
southeast.
Grady holds that the wage Garner
with very small income can afford
to own home at such a rate. in
fact, he says that 1t is much
cheaper for a family to buy q
home of this kind than pay rent.
A group of detached homes, with
hardwood floors. hot water heat and
other coEveniences, are being re.
modelled by Grady In Southeast
Washington. They will be offered
at price, he says, within the
reach of the family with small
income.
