Experiments in growing ber- ries in Alaska will be made next summer by the Alaska di- vision of the United States Bur- eau of Education. Large cran- berries, grown in western Washington, will be shipped to Resboro Island, in Norton Sound, southeast of Nome. Native cranberries, which grow over much of Alaska, are es- pecially abundant there. The native berry is small but hardy and by introduction of the Washington product the bur- eau hopes to grow a hardy and larger cranberry in Alaska. Himalayan blackberies will be introduced on a small island of Southeastern Alaska in anoth- CT. effort to provide more fruits for the Territory. Many of the islands of the Aleutian chain are south of Ketchikan and have mild climate suitable for blackberries.

OL D CODE.
DEEMED
LAX

Every policeman on the Dis
trict force may be clothed
with the powers of a prohibit
ton agent by the terms of a
bill to be introduced in the
House this week by Repre-
sentative William n. Sproul of
Kansas.
The bill would have the effect of
giving the District for the first time
a prohibition enforcement code, and
would materially affect the rights
of the police force in obtaining evi.
dence, swearing out warrants and
making raids on manufacturers.
Hesse for Code
Under the existing law, only S3
local police perform dual service as
enforcement agents. Major Edwin B.
Hesse and Inspector Henry L. Pratt,
testifying before the Gibson sub
committee on Monday, said a
separate = enforcement code was
needed here.
Representative Sproul late yester-
day introduced bill designed to
speed up court proceedings against
District officials charged with seri.
Gus offenses. Under the terms OF
his measure, the accused officers
cases would be given priority in
Police Court and the District Su-
preme Court.
In the case of an accused Com.
missioner or Corporation Counsel.
impeachment proceedings in the
House would be substituted for
preliminary action in the courts.
Such cases would go, however, to
the District Supreme Court, should
the House uphold the charges,
DepIOres Red Tape
Sproul said he was moved to act
by the cases of former Commits
sioner Frederick A. Fenning and
Police Capt. Guy E. Burlingame.
He said too much red tape was in
volved in preparing these cases.
and the procedure in sitting the
charges was unsatisfactory.
Instead of wasting weeks and
months" he explained, ''the prose
cutors, on receiving complaints,
could take action in a day. The
result would be that more public
officials would be loyal to their
jobs"
