From the $50 Edition Of Yesterdays Star.
While the Washington Police Depart
ment Is not "the worst in the world" 1t
Is handicapped by low qualifications for
personnel. lack Of proper organization,
insufficient scientific equipment and dis
couraeing court delays, the House was
informed this afternoon by Representa-
tive Holiday Of Illinois, a member Of
the House District committee.
The Illinois member, speaking on
police provisions in the District appfo-
priation bill, criticized the death of
educational requirements for police re-
cruits. charged that police officers Gin
key positions" have regulations "incorn-
patible with efncient public service" and
caustically denounced the House Of De-
tention as 1.-The most extravagant and
inefficient unit of the entire District
Government"
Reorganization Of the Police Depart
ment, he said, should be left to Mai
Gen. Crosby, newly nominated Commits
sioner, and he voiced confidence that
the former Cavalry chief would handle
the situation effectively.

fronted with serious delays in court
procedure, Representative Holiday cited
the hours spent on the bench by some
of the Judges and remarked that i'm

of public duty on the part OF some OF
the judges now sitting"
He digressed from his criticism OF the
