Mental Reservations
Rob Capital Man
of Citizenship

Because he held mental reser-
vations at the time he took the
oath of allegiance to the Gov
eminent Of the United States,
the naturalization of Israel Green
berg, 900 block John Marshall
PI., a former subject of Great
Britain, was cancelled by Justice
Stafford in Equity Court today.
Greenberg was naturalized in
California March 7, 1927, accord
ing to the petition filed by United
State Attorney Leo A. Rover and
his assistant, Rebecca H. Great
house.
Shortly after he took the oath
he is said to have informed the
Bureau of Naturalization that he
regarded citizenship as a matter
of convenience and that he had
held the mental reservation that
he would not support the Govern
ment of the United States IL it
was incOnVenient and would not
defend it against any foreign
power.

RAISE
QUESTION
TOUCHED

The United States Bureau OF
Efficiency, in its investigation
Of the Wilson traction merger
plan for the Senate District
Committee, is not confirming its
study to the provisions of that
plan alone, but is comparing
that proposal to other merger
plans which have been sug-
gested, it was learned today.
Among the other proposals being
studied by the bureau investigators
is the plan suggested by the firm
of Charles E. Hansel, consulting
specialist.
One of the outstanding features
of the Hansel plan was the sugges-
ton that one.man cars be used ex-
clusively here in order to save money.
The bureau, using this suggestion
as basis, Is making a thorough
study of the question of one-man
cars.
It was specifically requested to go
into this subject by Senator Arthur
Capper, chairman of the Senate
| District Committee.
Paul Rapp, director of the bureaus
merger investigation, has studied the
use of the one-man cars In other
| cities, their efficiency and their econ
| omy. 1t is unlikely that he will rec
| ommend their general use here. how
! ever.
An Indication that the bureau is
covering plenty of ground in Its
study of the merger plan and IS
not combining itself to the terms
of the agreement itself. Is also
found in the fact that it Is studying
the Mitten system of public utility
operation in Philadelphia.
The Mitten management, which
operates practically all transporta-
tion facilities in the city of Phlla-
delphia, provides for participation
+ in the management of the company
by labor.
Local labor leaders have con
ferred with Rapp with a view to
having a provision included In the
merger agreement to protect the
right of employees to collectiVe
bargaining.
II is not yet known how far the
bureau will go into these colldle,di
questions in its final report TO tne
Senate committee, but at least 1t Is
certain that it will have surveyed
the TRANSFORMATION field thoroughly.
Among other studies of the local.
transportation problem of which IL
is making use are the marger pan
suggested by Byers Mex. Bachman'
chief accountant of the Public Utlii-
ties Commission; the McClelland and
Junkesfield report of 1928. and
various r2ergAr proposals previous
to the last year or two.

D. {. COPS
INVADED
MD.

Dismissal from the force of
four Washington policemen
who chased an automobile into
Maryland and arrested two
men on charges of violating
the prohibition act has been
demanded by John Philip Hill,
former member of Congress
from Maryland.
Hills letter to the District Conn
missioners was referred today to
Inspector Henry G. Pratt, acting
superintendent of police.
The policemen in question are j..
W. Connors, T.. p. Comiskey, l..
e. Bachelor and E. w. Gore, all
OF the Fourth precinct.
The Hill protest grew out of the
arrest September "a. by the Wash
ington police squad. of Stephen H.
johnson and Ralph I. Harbaugh.
Hold Arrest Illegal
The two men were arrested while
driving an automobile in which
the police claimed were 4S0 quarts
of intoxicants. Charges of violating
the prohibition act were preferred
against them.
The men were given a premlimi-
nary hearing before United States
Commissioner Needham C. Turnage,
but they insisted that their arrest
was Illegal. since it was effected
by Washington policemen who are
not prohibition agents and VINO
were functioning outside of the
District of Columbia.
Commissioner Turnage said today
that he had not reached decision
In the matter. but would likely
settle it on Monday.
Mr.. Hill. in his communication to
the Commissioners, holds that the
act of the policemen constitutes
an invasion of the rights of Mary
land and as a citizen of Maryland
I demand that these men be dis
missed from the force and such &C
ton stopped"
Fought Invasion
Mr.. Hill recalled that in 1925 he
engaged in an extended contro-
versy with the District Commits
sioners, after Washington police
men had made trips into Maryla nd
to make arrests. After threatening
to take the matter up with the
House of Representatives, of which
he was a member, Mr.. Hill said
ne caused the Commissioners to
issue an order forbidding such in
vasion.
The Washington times., 1928-09-29

After debating all day yesterday
the commission decided to take no
action until its next full meeting
November 8, and appointed a COM
mittee to study the problem in the
meantime.
Had Filed Objection
Last year the commission filed an
objection with the Federal Power
Commission against granting a pre-
liminary permit to the Potomac
River Corporation for development
of a hydro-eIectric power plant at
the falls, on the ground that power
development would destroy the park
potentialities of the region.
Since that time a joint committee,
under the Park Commission and the
United States Engineers office, has
been studying the possibility of com.
bining park and power development.
The committee submitted it's report
yesterday through Major Brehon B.
Somervell, District engineer.
Somervell spent most of the day
with the commission explaining the
report, which outlined nine different
ways to combine power and park
facilities at the falls.
Four to Make Study
The District Engineer recon-.
mended two of the nine methods,
but the Park Commission was not
fully assured that any of the
plans would properly safeguard the
park possibilities.
1t appointed as committee TO
make a further study Frederic J..
OImstead. Of Massac huser:s: Ste
phen A Mather. director Of national
park service; Major W. S. Stuart,
chief of the forest service, and
Frederic A. Delano, of Washing
ton.
The committee was instructed 10
find out what effect the modified
power plans would have on the
water level of the river, and the
volume of water which would go
over the falls.
Members of the committee plan
TO spend several days in he gorge
between now and the next meeting.
