HIT D|SCLA|MlS
SHAPING ADVICE
Never Told Any PoIiceWomen
to Chastise Washers,
Judge Declares.

The District Commissioners this
afternoon were presented with the
problem of deciding whether police
women would be justified in carrying
out literally a reported suggestion of
Judge Hit of the Police Court that
"mashers" be slapped in the face by
their Victims
Mrs. Nina Van Wrinkle, lieutenant
in charge of the Women's Bureau, put
the matter up to the Commissioners
in letter advising them that Judge
Hit had told several of her sub
ordinates that the slapping method
was known to be effective. a copy of
the letter also was sent to Acting
Superintendent of Police Charles
Evans for his information.
PolicewOman Asked Advice.
In the letter, it is understood, Mrs.
Van Wrinkle explained that after
Judge Hit had dismissed a so-caIled
flirting case, her policewomen went
to the judges chambers to consult him
about the "mashing" situation. The
Commissioners were informed that the
judge indicated his approval of the
physical chastisement method
Judge Hit told a Star representative
today that he said nothing about slap
ping anybody. When policewomen
asked him what they should do if APP
preached on the street, he said he ad-
vised them to fin6 out at the " omen S
Bureau.

IN ATTACK ON JEWS
Personal Responsibility for Papers
Campaign Is Disclaimed
by Auto Man.
Bv the Associated Press.

bN tns ASsOt1ateu
NEW YORK, July "A denial of
personal responsibility for an attack
on Jews in his paper is made by
Henry Ford in an affidavit which he
has unsuccessfully sought TO file in
connection with the libel suits against
him and the Dearborn Independent
by Herman Bernstein. editor Of the
Jewish Tribune. who seeks 5000, GOO.
Federal Judge Knox Yesterday re
fused 10 accept the affidavit or 10
vacate an attachment which ties UP
S65, 1000 Ford money on deposit in
New York banks.
THE merits of this case. rather
than its technica calities. must heareafter
engage the attention of the court,
said the Judge.
In the affidavit Ford averred:
II did not write the article in ques
ton nor inspire it; had no participa
ton in the writing of it; did not direct
its writing: it was not shown TO me be-
fore it was printed; / did not see or
approve it, or know it was to be
printed; and l had nothing whatever
to do With its printing, publication
and circulation"
Judge Knox, saying that he did not
wish to cast aspersjon upon the affi-
davit, noted that it was the state
ment of an eX-parte litigant.
In another affidavit William j. Cam
eron, editor of the Dearborn Independ-
ent, took responsibility for publica-
ton of the articles at issue. Counsel
for Bernstein said the decision as
sured trial of the libel suits after
two years efforts by Ford to deprive
Bernstein of his day in court by every
conceivable technicality.

delegates to the National Alliance of
Postal Employees convention. today
We're urged by First Assistant Post
master General John II. Bartlett to
stand for their rights, in an address
before the convention at the Cleveland
School
The colored race has made rapid
strides in civilization. he said adding
that the thing to make the world
forget about color and race is for YOU
10 elevate yourselves to positions that
command respect. Don't be self-con-
scious. Stand in the nobility and pride
of manhood and be A man."
$4,000 CoIored Workers.
There are 90, 900 colored postal en-
ployes on the total payroll of $50. 900
under the Post Office Department.
Gov. Bartlett said. You have %. 900
and there are 10000, 900 colored peo-
pie in the country. SO you see you are
fairly well up to a quota if we had
that in mind. You have good lob
and YOU should want to keep your Job.
Everybody connected with the Gov
ernment is an official in some sense.
That is compensation in itself. You
should study hard. -be honest indus
trIouS ami maintain good behavior
and try to rise to higher positions.
1t is better that you do that instead
Of shopping around To see II somebody
Is working against YOU"
In the postal service, Gov. Bartlett
said. You are going To he treated
pretty nearly on the level. People
won't stand for anything else. You
have the right to organize and see
that YOU get the right treatment.
Save your money and people will
wake up TO the fact that YOU com
mand a position in the world when
you have plenty of money in bank. "
Gov. Bartlett vigorously criticized
the law providing retirement for total
disability after Is years service.
Persons with one-half or two-thirds
disability, he said, can only do so
much work and eventually they are
driven by the Government To total
disability. There is no sense to such a
law. There should he some gra dation
and there ought to he an annuity

The First Assistant Postmaster
General declared he hoped to see the
day when a half holiday every Satur-
day would be granted throughout the
postal system. He also told the dele
gates a plan for establishing a merit
system to Counterbalance the present
demerit system for carriers was being
worked out in the department.

parents OF high school fraternities in
the fight against the boards ruling,
and a meeting for this purpose prob
ably will be held early next week.

son planes, on the other hand, might
be maintained in practically unlim-
tied numbers. Their supplies and re-
pair shops might be as extensive as
are needed.
The island planes might always be
maintained at a strength superior to
any invading planes that have to
come by ship over more than 1000
miles OF ocean. With a numerous and
efficient air service and effective sub
marine units at oahu we shall have
an excellent chance of Gripping
hostile approach during the first
phase. To determine how good that
chance is is one of the main motives
of the April exercises.
The usefulness Of the Air Service
for defense can perhaps best be made
plain by quoting from the words of
a. naval officer on the general sub
ject OF such an attack as is eontem-
plated in the coming maneuvers:
"One of the questions of long stand
ing regarding fortifications is the
propriety of attacking them with
ships. Recent advances in aeronaut-
les, I'm mining and in artillery have
all strengthened relatively the de-
fense of seacoast positions. so that
today the reduction of seacoast for
tifications is a land job-not sea

line work,rthe Navy will be the serv-
ice of supply. I doubt even II forti-
fications have much to fear from the
attack of the naval air service until
the main decision between the fleets
has taken place. The air attack on
fortifications is more likely to come
from the land forces than from the
naval forces. On the other hand, the
supporting air forces will be free to.
and should, attack all naval forces
within their area OF operations"
