LEGION ENDORSES
D. c. WAR MEMORIAL
Department Officials Urge
Members to Aid Proposed
Tribute to Dead Heroes.

Taking issue with a statement made
at a meeting of the Costello Post of
the American Legion last night that
the proposed District war memorial
was planned without consulting legion.
naires, Acting Department Comdr.
Theodore Cogswell and department
adjutant, Capt. George F. Unmacht
of the District Department, American
Legion, today issued the following
statement relative to the war me-
morial:
AT q meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Department of the Dis.
trict of Columbia, American Legion,
held April Is, Newbold Moves, chair
man of the memorial campaign, was
invited to be present and explain the
war memorial drive. He did so, and
the subject met with the hearty ap-
proval of the executive committee.
Cooperation Authorized
1.-THE commander was directed to ap-
point a committee to cooperate in
this worthy project in raising funds
for the war memorial. There was no
dissa tisfaction over the proposed de-
sign of the memorial. Capt. Watson
b. Miller, a past department com
mander, was appointed chairman of
this committee, and he is actively en-
gagged in getting the support of all
legionnaires to this cause. The mat
ter of the memorial was taken up
with the legion several years ago. In
fact, Col. L. Lester Jones, a past de-
partment commander, was appointed a
member # the memorial commission.
Department officers and the execu-
tive committee of the Legion there
fore urge upon all legionnaires to sup
port the proposed war memorial and
contribute as much as their means
will permit in order that the 535 who
gave their lives for their country
shall not be forgotten by the citizens
of Washington"
Sequel to Costello Post Action.
The statement today came as a Sc
quel to the adoption of a resolution
last night at a meeting of the Vim
cent b. Costello post of the American
Legion, disappearing of the form pro-
posed for the District War Memorial
and recommending in it's place a Ma
tional Guard Armory, to serve as a
meeting place for veterans orga MIA
tions. The resolution was proposed
by Francis Sullivan and seconded by
DR.. Charles n. Hess.
The resolution follows: 'That the
post disapproveS or the Worlct War
Memorial in the form in which it is
now proposed, and the erection of
same in West Potomac Park; that
this post feels that a more suitable
form of memorial would be in the
form of a home and a National Guard
Armory to be used by all veterans
organizations of the District to serve
more adequately the living and as a
memorial to future generations of
veterans sons"
About 81 members of the post were
present last night, and lively dis
cussion preceded adoption of the res
olution. during which the charge re-
piled to above was made.

two blocks from Albert's home, near
the high school and just across the
street from 1.-The bottom,' as that
lower section of Fredericksburg is
known locally. Albert had lent Con-
way his bicycle. Albert had told Con-
way that he would go to the latter's
house for him later. Conway started
away. He had ridden half way up the
block and half way down another and
when he turned and looked over his
shoulder across the vacant lot he saw
Albert standing by the curb. Then
he rode on. That was the last that
any one thus far known saw of Albert
Baker alive.
When Albert did not return for his
bicycle, Conway rode back to the
Baker house and asked Lawrence
Baker whether his brother was home.
Upon learning he was not, he rode
away again, looking for him.
Bursts Into Tears.
AS Conway told this story, he broke
down and cried as he came to the
point where he had last seen the boy
whose body was found Monday. When
he repeated the story he broke down
eAS CAc1%h1S ltiC GdlIlE pldCG All LIE ItdI-
ratiye and was said by the police not
to have been able to tell an altogether
coherent story about these circum-
stances.
From that afternoon. when Albert
vanished from this community, until
his body was found Monday, the
search for him had stretched from the
Atlantic to the Pacific coast through
the medium of police and radio pub
licity. When his body was found
f1nally 1t was in a state of decompo-
sition which Coroner Cole declared
might indicate that it had not been
placed in the river Immediately after
life was extinct. but might have been
secreted until time which the muir
derer regarded as fortuitous.
There being no jury for an inquest
under the laws of this community,
Coroner Cole has thus far reserved
his opinion in the case except to state
positively that the boy came to his
death through foul play. He would
not say definitely what means We're
employed by the murderer.
Commonwealth Attorney w. b. r.
Cole and Chief of Police Perry, co.
operating in the investigation today,
intimated that they expected to find
the murderer would be a resident of
Fredericksburg or its immediate
vicinity.
Evidence Is Meager.
They are reserving the details of
their investigation to protect them
selves against information leaking out
to the suspected parties, but admitted
that thus far the evidence uncovered
was not sufficiently tangible to war.
rant an arrest.
They conferred with Mayor J. Gar
nett King last night, who authorized
them to spare no efforts or expense
in the conduct of the investigation.
The investigation today was aimed
at discovering whether anyone had
seen Albert after Conway had, and
also was being pursued at the. river,
the check-up being made along the
banks between the bridge at Fred
ericksburg and the spot five miles
below the city where the bag was
found, to determine definitely, il pos
sible, the earliest time which the bag
was seen In the river.
There have been several reports that
the bag was seen as early as April
90 by persons who believe that it con.
tanned the carcass of an animal and
therefore did not investigate further.

Absence Of proper safeguards in
stub-keeping by the electrical depart.
ment OF the District is criticized by the
Federal Bureau of Efficiency in q
report to the District Commissioners
today based on an investigation by
two Of its special investigators.
The report pointed out that large
quantities of the electric street equip.
ment is disbursed to the Potomac
Electric Power Co. in pursuance Of
installation contracts made with that
company, and that no requisltion is
required and no receipt is taken from
the men who receive the goods.

mac Electric Power Co. commit them.
selves to no responsibility for receipt
of this valuable apparatus" said the
report. Destruction, loss or theft
may be covered by statement that
the goods were never received and this
statement would be difficult to dis.
pute."
Follows House Probe.
The investigation into the Electrical
Departments purchasing procedure
and property record followed the
hearings before the Gibson investigat-
ing committee of the House. at which
1T was disclosed that no record was
maintained of the material issued to
the Potomac Electric Power Co. for
use in making traffic light installa-
tions.
The report, signed by Herbert d.
Brown, chief of the bureau, contained
two recommendation which. he said.
would provide temporarily procedure
to safeguard the Electrical Department
of the District.
''As soon as the investiga tion Of the
purchasing procedure and property
record is completed" said Mr.. Brown,
"a more permanent method for issuing
electrical supplies will be recon-
mended.'
The two recommendations were
that no property be disbursed with
out a requisition prepared by the
proper official and the Potomac Eec-
trio Power Co, or to the District
government and duly submitted To
the head of the warehouse by the
emplOye who is to receive the goods.
and that no person receiving goods
from the warehouse be allowed TO de-
part with them without signing a re-
ceipt.
No Records Kept.
"On a visit to the storehouse and
receiving station of the electrical de-
partment at 18th and ID streets south
west" the report read, I'VE found
that no stock records were kept at
this place other than pencil memo
randa showing receipts and disburse-
ments in notebook kept by the man
In charge. Furthermore, we found
that in disbursing large quantities of
street lighting equipment to the
F. h. P. Co. in pursuance of installa-
ton contracts made with that COM
pany, no requisition is required and
no receipt is taken from the men who
receive the goods.
Correction of this situation is, of
course, matter included in the broad
| and apparently general necessity of
establishing an adequate property sys.

LEON TROTSKY
EXPELLED FROM
INTERNATIONA AL

MOSCOW, Russia, Sept 80. up =
Leon Trotzky, brilliant leader of the
Russian revolution, and M. Vuyovich,
one Of his chief aides in the opposi-
ton fight against joseph Stain and
the central communist committee,
were expelled from the communist in
ternational today by unanimous de-
cision of the communist international
presidium.
Trotzky was hailed before the dis
ciplinary committee convened after the
discovery of secret printing plants and
the expulsion of IA oppositioniSts from
the party.
Trotzky declared bureaucratic dis
cipline founded on false political pre-
cepts offers no weapon for unity but
disorganization and split"
Trotzy in defending his aides Pro-
lessor Alexander Preobrajensky, M.
Sharoff and M. Serebriakoff, declared: !:
I'm their politics tehese men tower
over those who conceal their crimes
under party discipline. Nowadays no
organization deliberates or decides; all
they do is carry out orders Even the
presidium of the communist interna-
Elonal is no exception"
Trotzky ended by accusing the Stain
and Bukharin group of placing the
question Of survival above everything
else. He hurled such accusations as
"Bonapartist forgeries, thermidorian
| policy" He said the communist in
ternational congress game the presi-
dium power for one year only and
that wilful continuance in the exer-
cising of such power meant usurpa-
ton.
| After Trotzky'S speech the preSidium
| passed resolution for his immediate
expulsion. They explained their de-
.ciSion as follows:
ITO preserve unity in Lenine ranks,
!. to counteract the undermining activit-
les of the oppositionist rebels, con-
sidering previous warnings sufficient
and that to refrain further from dis
Sciplinary measures becomes dangerous
I, and impossible, the presidium of the
lcommunist international unanimously
decided toexpel Trotzky and Vuyovich
from the communist internationaps
executive body"

.F0RDHAM SUCCESS
 HIS PRINCIPAL AM
Attorney Ginsburg Active in h.
 terest Of Alma Mater

Practically every alumnus of the great seats of learning throughout the United States finds time in the years following graduation, to main tain an interest in the affairs of the college or university within whose walls the pleasant and profitable period of study and preparation for lifes work was spent. Indeed, the public is made acquainted from time to time with the very practical way in which some graduates manifest their interest, in the form of large endowments by which the scope of the educational endeayors is increas- ed and given the impetus it requires for spreading itself out, all of which works to the benefit of the under graduates and those who enter the colleges in later years. Numerous other ways are taken through which expression is given 10 the thoughts that are constantly in mind for the benefit and welfare of the instltu- tions, although seldom does the donor of time, effort and well wish es receive the publicity that might seem commensurate with the good he accom- plishes.
 Ginsburg Fordhans Ambassador
 Here in New Britain, where there are graduates of practically all the important institutions of learning in the east, and some from colleges in
