TO KEEP
COL. BELL FAILS
Senate SidetraCks Measure
to Allow President to Ex- \
tend Engineers Term.

Proposed legislation to permit the
President to retain Lieut.. Col. j.
Franklin Bell as Engineer Commits
sioner of the District at his discretion
was sidetracked today when the Sen
ate military affairs committee voted to
lay the bill on the table. This action
is equivalent to killing the measure,
and means that the term of Col. Bell
will expire some time this Summer.
The purpose of the bill, which was
sponsored by Senator Capper, chair
man of the District committee, was to
exempt Col. Bell from the require
ments in the national defense act that
all Army officers assigned to civilian
posts must serve one year in every
five on duty with troops. Col. Bell is
now nearing the end of his fourth
year of service in the District.
The bill was acted on by the military
affairs committee in executive session.
but 1t was learned later that the rea-
son for tabling the bill was because
of feeling among the committee
members that the law requiring
officers to serve every fifth year with
troops should be strictly adhered to-
In laying the bill before the military
affairs committee several days ago
Senator Capper explained that he in
trOduced 1t because of the general in
dication coming to him from local
organizations and civil workers that
Col. Bell has displayed unusual
ability as Engineer Commissioner and
that it would be in the interests of
the District of Columbia to keep him
on the board for longer period.
