!. OF COOLIDGE VIEWS
Conversations at White
House Tell British Journal
lists of Interview System.

The presence of several British
journalist at the bi-weekly press con-
ference at the White House served to-
day to bring forth an emphasis upon
President Coolidge's feeling that his un-
official views are sometimes misinter-
.preted abroad.
The visiting British writers were told
at the conference just how these meet
ings with newspaper men take place
what their purpose is, and what obliga-
tions are imposed upon those who pic
ture the Presidents views. Especial
emphasis was laid on that obligation
which prohibits the direct quoting oi
a President unless a written statement
is issued at Sthe White House.
Mr.. Coolidge is of the opinion that
his unofficial views are rarely nlisir1-
terpreted in this country, but that
sometimes abroad he has difficulty in
getting over full appreciation of what
he has in his mind.
Prepares Advance Copies.
Because of this, the President be-
lieves that he has solved some OF the
difficulties by preparing well in ad-
vance any speeches dealing with for
eign relations so that his words may
be given to European countries in ex-
actly the same form as they are made
known to American citizens
A luncheon at the British embassy
followed the White House trip of the
visitors who are passing several days
here and for the rest of the day, the
program was left informal, to suit the
convenience of the visitors and allow
periods of recreation and rest from
the strenuous program which the jour-
nalists had been following since they

Club last night. J. Fred Essary, presi-
dent of the club, welcomed the visiting
journalists. He stressed the significance
of this visit. hoping it was the begin

MORE POLICE SEEN
AS DISTRICT NEED
Turnage Declares Court
System of Washington Also
Is Inadequate.

A police force inadequate in numbers
and a court system practically the
same since the days of the Civil War
were blamed as partly responsible for
the number of crimes in the District OF
Columbia by Needham c. Turnage
United States commissioner, in an
address before the Washington Adver-
Using Club in the Press Club today.
Except for the addition of two Police
Court judges, the courts here have beer
practically the same since the days oi
the Civil War, he said. The commits
sioner then asked, How are 1,400 po-
licenen in the District going to detect
all crimes when there were $4,000 ar
rests made in the past year?"
The speaker also blamed the general
public for increase in crime in the Dis
trict as elsewhere, and attributed the
lack of law enforcement to 1t in large
degree. In this connection, he referred
particularly to persons being unwilling
to volunteer as witnesses to aid police
men and also the tendency for persons
to get out of doing jury duty whenever
possible for them to do so.
s1,SOO,0OO Stolen in Year.
During the fiscal year ending june
80, 1928, there was more than 81 1,300,-
600 worth of property stolen in the
District of Columbia, Mr.. Turnage said
The police, through their good work
he continued, recovered the major part
of it but left more than $348,000 as
total loss
During the fiscal year ending in June
1927, he said, there was total of more
than $4,000, 100000 lost in the United
States through crime.
Commissioner Turnage praised the
local Police Department and advocated
higher salaries for policemen, indicat.
ing that whereas the local department
is inadequate in numbers, it does ex.
cellent work considering the number OF
men on the force. He stressed the
need of making police pay attractive to
obtain men able to cope with the in.
telligent class of criminals.
