POLICE DUBBED
UNNANNERLY

Washington's police force is
dubbed "discourteous" in a letter
received today by Major Henry
G. Pratt, Superintendent of
Police.
N. M. Massey, of Greensboro,
N. c., writes of a traffic police
man at Fourteenth Street and
Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest,
who, he says. treated him in a
most discourteouS manner"
Mr.. Massey declares that, in
his opinion, tourists should be ex.
tended a little more courtesy,
with regard to traffic regulations,
than local residents. The letter
says in part:
81 must confess that 1 have
never, in any city, received such
discOurteOuS treatment from a
traffic officer. Even in New
York. where the police have the
reputation of being hard-bOiled,
they are far more courteous to
tourists than are the Washing
ton police, if this officer (sta-
toned at the Fourteenth Street
intersectiOn) is typical of your
force"

found a great deal of the rock
through which they are blasting
to have rich deposits of copper.
