DISTRICT COURT PENSION
RULING Is MODIFIED

Appellate Tribunal Acts on Man
damus Order Affecting Allowance
Given Edward E. H. Browning.
The District Court of Appeals in an
opinion by Justice Charles H. Robb to-
day modified a mandamus order of the
District Supreme Court which had di-
rected that Edward E. H. Browning be
given pension allowance of $3.50 from
November /, 1927, following his retire.
ment as member of the Police De-
partment.
The appellate tribunal held that the
Commissioners had no authority at
that time to place Browning's pension
at SIS only, and should have allowed
him the maximum provided for his
grade, but since July /, 1880, Congress
has clothed the Commissioners with dis
cret1on to redetermine and fix the pen
sion relief allowance to policemen and
f1remen, he is entitled only to the in
crease up to July l, 1880.
The court cited former decisions, in
which 1t held that a pension is a gra-
tuity and not contract with the Dis
trict, and that the rights of the pen
Sioner are vested only so long as the
statute in question by which it Is au-
thorized remains in force and un-
changed, subject to be devested at any
time that Congress may desire.
With the modification noted above
the Judgment of the lower court is
affirmed. E

NAVY MEMORIAL
PLANS OUTLINED
Secretary Adams to 0fficiate
at Ceremony Honoring
Americans Lost at Sea.

Arrangements were being made today
at the Navy Department to enable Sec
retary Adams to break ground Wednes-
day, initiating the construction of the
Navy and Marine Memorial, on the
Southerly end of Columbia Island.
j. w. Powell of the Navy and Marine
Association was expected here from
New York today to confer with Secre-
tary Adams concerning details of the
proposed ceremony. Secretary Adams
recently accepted the honorary chair
manship of the association, which will
erect the memorial here in honor of
Americans who have lost their lives at
sea. The memorial will feature sea-
gulls on bronze wave, and in its new
location the monument will be nearly
surrounded by water.
Construction Authorized.
The Finance Commission and the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission recently authorized the as
Sociation to construct the monument at
the southerly end Of Columbia Island,
changing its position from the previous
location, designed for East Potomac
Park. It was found that the cost of
constructing suitable approaches to the
memorial in Potomac Park was pro-
hibit We.
o cials of the Office of Public Build
ings and Public Parks recently expressed
doubt as to the ability of the association
to proceed at this time with construc-
ton, as a large share of Columbia
Island Is now under water. The United
States Engineer Off1ce, through hy-
draulic pipe line operations, has been
at work pumping up sand and gravel
from the bottom of the Potomac River
in the vicinity of the water gate near
the Lincoln Memorial in order to raise
the level of Columbia Island.
Island Raised to Higher Level.
Construction of the Memorial boule-
ward on the Virginia side of the Arling-
ton Memorial Bridge permits the use
of a number of truckfuls of excavated
earth, which are being placed on the
island to raise its level up to that of
the bridge floor.
A number of prominent Navy, Coast
Guard and Merchant Marine officials,
some Of them in Washington, are identi-
fed with the Navy and Marine Asso-
citation.
