toric feat and are planning to be-
STOW upon him medals and other
marks of appreciation, and the occa-
sion of a formal reception to nm IN
this city would be a proper time 10
make these awards.
Postmaster General New, under
whom Lindbergh last served before ne
began preparations for the transatlan-
tic flight, said today the Post ONCE
Department would use every effort
to get the ariman here.
81 think it would be most appro-
pirate for Lindbergh to come to WASH
ington," Mr.. New said. I'm fact, i
think he should come here, and l hope
he gets here before the President goes
away for his vacation. l don't know
when Lindbergh expects to sail for the
United States, but it would be too
bad if he was to defer his stay beyond
the time the President is scheduled to
depart for his vacation.
although the department no longer
has control over him and he is not
subject to the air mail orders, we are
awfully proud Of him and still feel
that he is one of u.s."
St. Louis hackers of the New York
to-Paris flight Of Lindbergh were in
vited today by Secretary of War DAVIS
to confer with him as to recognition
to be accorded the flyer upon his re-
turn to this country. The invitation
was extended after Mr.. Davis had
conferred with Harry F. Knight and
II. X. BiXby, two sponsors of the
flight.
The Secretary feels that arrange
ments for the celebration should be
dictated by the st. Louis friends OF
the aviator, but said he believed 1t
would be fitting to place Lindbergh
plane on exhibition in Washington.
Mr.. Davis expressed his belief that
Capt. Lindbergh should receive the
Congressional Medal of Honor and
reward for his record breaking flight
The War Department, he added, would
support any special legislation tc
make the award possible, as was done
after Comdr Richard +. Byrd hac
flown over the North Pole. Lindbergf
also should be given the Army's DIS
tinguished Flying Cross, Mr.. Davis
said, adding that should minor
technicalities interfere he believed
they would be waived without protest

learned today at the Veterans Bu-

The policy was obtained through
regular channels when the interpid
transatlantic flyer had not as yet
learned much about aviation, and was
a flying cadet at Brooks Field, Texas.

mated, however, that the matter prob
ably would be settled soon.
The association, of which Rev. Will
liam S. Abernethy, pastor of Calvary
Baptist Church, is the president and
on whose board of directors there ale
number of prominent Washington
clergymen and layman, already had
received information from residents of
various sections of the city which tend
to show "speak-easy" and other pro-
fessional, fragrant violations of the
prohibition law. DR.. Ellison said.
I'VE are going after these fellows
tooth and nail" he declared today,
land welcome information from everH-
body who has knowledge of the eX-
istence of such law violations"
AS these reports come in from
members or nOn-members, Douthitt,
the only paid member of the organiza-
ton, but the amount of whose salary
would not be revealed by DR.. Ellison,
is charged with the duty of investi-
eating them to determine their worth.
Should he find direct evidence os law
violations, it would be his duty, either
alone or assisted by the police or the
''under-cover" men who work on
"piece work." to obtain this evidence.
The police then will make the raids or
take whatever action is necessary and.
Douthitt will appear in court as III
Governments star witness.
Owing to the extent of the reports
which DIR. Ellison said have come 10
him up to today, it would be vir
tually impossible for Douthitt, play
ing lone hand, to get the necessary
evidence on all of them at once.
Several "Freelances."
Douthitt told DR.. Ellison. the lat
in Washington engaged in turning
up evidence for the police, for which
they are paid as they make their
cases. They are not attached to the
department, however. These men,
therefore, would assist Douthitt in
running down the reports and their
would come from the
District government, whereas Douth-
tits reward would come from the
association. The "under-cover" men
acted independently of the police in
obtaining the evidence prior to the
necessary legal action taken against
alleged violators, it was explained.
DIR. Ellison also said today that the
board yesterday afternoon adopted
amendment to the con-
which reads as follows:
Membership in this organization
shall be limited to patriotic citizens
who are willing to sign the pledge of
and to pay an annual
fee of 81 or more"
