Evergreen Closely Related

An evergreen tree usually has needle-haped, awi-shaped, or scaly leaves, which remain green throughout the winter, says "Forest Facts for Schools" Some broad leaf trees. like the live oak, few of the magnolias. and the holly, are green all winter; but these are really broad-leaf trees which have acquired the habit Of holding their leaves in the winter and are not usually classed as evergreen trees. Botanically, all the true evergreen trees. such as the pine, the spruce, and the cedar are rather closely related.

The Department of Justices in
vestigation of police third-degree
methods today was expected to be
extended to embrace an examina-
ton of Gallinger Hospital records
as the result of information sup
piled by The Washington Times.
It is at Gallinger that most Of
those who charge they were
beaten were taken after the al

CROSBY Due Back
Maj. Gen. Herbert B. Crosby,
District Commissioner in charge
of police, was scheduled to re-
turn to the Capital this after
noon to take a hand in un-
tangling the third degree" situa-
tion.
General Crosby has been in
office for a year and four
months. He has never been
called upon before to deal with
police situation as grave as
the one which now confronts
him. He was personally picked
for the police job by President
Hoover.
General Crosby was forced to
cut short his vacation to return
to the Capital. He had been on
a motor trip to California.
Rumors that General Crosby
had been ordered" back to Wash.
ington we're denied today at the
District Building. Neither Com.
missioner Reichelderfer nor Cor
poration Counsel william w.
Bride communicated with General
Crosby concerning the current
police situation, it was said.

to let no news of the investigation
leak out.

the Justice agents are doing to
ferret out facts regarding alIega-
tions that Metropolitan police use
brutality in obtaining confessions.
