Liska, who started the year like

OPENS IN

Ocean City, N. il, has been
selected as the training site
for the Georgetown football
team for its two or three weeks
Of preliminary practice before
Coach Lou Little brings his
charges back to the Hilltop
with the start of school in mid
September.
In all probability the camp will be
opened on Tuesday. September 8. or
the last week OF August. This has
mot been definitely decided. In all
likelihood the latter date may be
chosen, for Coach Little wants to
get his men in Atip-top shape for the
early season games to get off to a
winning start.
Babe Connaughton. the behemoth
lineraan who won 4 position as ALI
America guard while wrecking
enemy lines for Georgetown in 1925,
may get the job as Georgetown
freshman grid coach this fall, too.
Although there is nothing certain
about this, it has been understood
on good authority that Little would
like to have his fOrme. star in the
saddle over the yearlings.

in Missouri, his home, but will re-
turn to Washington in nid-August

There will be strong oppo-
sition in the Senate to the
Brookhart bill to abolish the
Personnel Classification Board,
transfer its duties to the Civil
Service Commission, and es-
tablish a Civil Service Court
of Appeals.
The opposition is expected to be
led by Senator Smoot of Utah, who
has always taken an active part in
personnel legislation. He win be
supported by at least two members
of the Senate Civil Service Com
mittee.
Maybe Next Winter
There is no telling now when the
Senate will be called upon to vote
on this measure It was introduced
by Senator Brookhart rather late in
the last session of Congress and re-
ported favorably to the Senate by
the Civil Service Committee.
Brookhart plans to reintroduce 1t
at the first opportunity, probably
during the special session beginning
next month. 1t will probably not
be acted upon, however, until the
regular session next winter.
4 When the bill comes up the final
determining factor in its fate will
be President Hoover's attitude.
II President Hoover. supports the
measure, opposition to it in the
Senate will undoubtedly crumble.
Otherwise it will face such stiff
opposition that 1t will have little
chance.
Convinced of Merit
Senator Brookhart will push the
bill vigorously. He, is convinced of
its merit, believing that the Civil
Service Commission, which appoints
employees, should also regulate
their classification.
He is particularly convinced of
the necessity of some final court of
appeal to which employees can go
when they feel injustices have been
done them.
There is no such appellate body
at the present time.

TORE TIRE ].
TO-DAY

With 80 years police service
behind him, Major Edwin B.
Hesse, chief of police, will apr
pear before the Police and
Firemen's Retirement and Re
lief Board today at 2 O'Clock
and formally ask that he be
relieved from further duty.
Action of the board will be only
a formalfty. Apparently there Ii
not the slightest possibility that IL
will reject Major Hesse's applica-
ton, because the board of police
and fire surgeons has declared he
has broken down, and Is physically
unfit for duty.
The retirement board probably
will recommend to the Commission
ers that the police chief be retired,
and will recommend the amount of
pension he will receive. The salary
of the major and superintendent is
$1,000 a year. and it is customary
to retire policemen at one.half their
salary.
May Be Tuesday
Francis Stephens, assistant Cor.
poration Counsel and chairman o.
the retirement board, said today
that he does not expect the boards
recommendation to reach the Com
missioners in sufficient time to be
acted upon tomorrow. Proctor l..
Dougherty, president of the Board
of Commissioners. predicted that
the case would be acted upon next
| Tuesday.
Dougherty said that neither he,
nor his fellow Commissioners, have
decided who will to succeed Hesse.
The new police chief will be ready
to take office when Major Messe
leaves, Dougherty Indicated. He
said he did not believe publ Of
fees should be allowed to remain
open unless there is very good
reason. He said he knows of no
reason why Hesse's successor should
not be named before the end of
the month.
win Be Ranker
Dougharty also indicated that
| the new police chief will be raised
| from the ranks. Although the
names of a number of persons
other than members of the police
| department have been recommended
to succeed Hesse, Dougherty said
he believes the new chief should be
selected from the police force unless
some outsider with unusual capa.
bilities is available.
Inspector Henry 6. Pratt, chief
| of the detective bureau, seems to
| have the best chance to become the
next chief of police. Inspector VII.
liam Shelby, assistant superinten
dent of police. stands close behind
Pratt.
