POLICE EXPLAIN
SHOOTING"
NETTLETON

The police version of the shot
allegedly fired at a District resi-
dent, arrested Thursday night for
a traffic violation in Brentwood,
Md, was given today by Reuben
E. Brown, chief of the town police.
Brown said he and his son,
Mack, pulled in behind a car
driving west on Rhode Island Ave
nue.. He said the car had no rear
lights and he sounded his exhaust
whistle, signalling it to stop. The
car swung into Bunker Hill Road,
Brown said, and the police car
pulled in front of the pursued au-
tomobile and blocked it.
The policeman maintained that
his son displayed his badge and
ordered "a young man sitting be-
side the driver to get out. When
he refused, the younger Brown
pulled him out. The man broke
away and ran across the road
toward the Manila Bamboo Inn.
Brown said he took the driver
before Justice of the Peace John A.
Downing, at Hyattsville, where he
posted $6.45 on a charge of hay
ing no rear light. Although the
escaped man later returned, no
charges were placed against him.
Brown said the driver gave his
name as Hayes" but that he
could not remember the first name
or address. The car was listed to
Charles E. Hayes, but the address
on police records was too illegible
to be read.
Three young girls, Evelyn Dom,
II, Marguerite Smith, is, and
Jean Meininger, 10, said they saw
the gun in Mack Browns hand
and heard the shot. Miss Smith
said she saw the flash of the pis-
toll. The driver of the car told
witnesses he thought he was held
up, had run for help and had been
fired on.

SELF-DEFENSE
FREESMA

A plea of self-defense today re-
suited in acquittal of Sam Alex,
proprietor of a lunchroom at 1922
Pennsylvania Ave. N. W., on a
charge of assault growing out of
the cutting of a customer in the
restaurant yesterday.
Judge Robert E. Mattingly in
Police Court found Alex not
guilty of assaulting Charlie
Auinger, of 21O2 H st. N. W.,
when, Alex said, Auinger came
into his place drunk and struck
him. Alex threw up an arm to
ward off the blow, he said, and
a bread knife with which he was
working accidentally struck
Auinger in the face.
The case was dismissed after
Attorney Dan Ring had Alex
demonstrate the incident on the
witness stand.

INVOKED

With the Republican Admin
istration under fire from various
Democratic sources, particular
pains are being takenN in Federal
offices to enforce the Civil Service
rule against political participation
by Government employees.
Specific exceptions have been
made in the case Of Federal
workers living in nearby Mary
land and Virginia who wish to
participate in local elections or be
candidates for local offices.
However. it has been tacitly
understood among the Federal
departments that overzealouS EN-.
ployes of either party could do
more harm than good by any
political endeavors.
Bulletins posted in some de-
partment buildings point out that
breaking this rule may have Seri-
GUS consequences.

FURLOUGH PLAN
CALLED UNFAIR

HETNT

The unfairness which would
result from the furlough plan for
Federal employees is its chief OBJ
lection, in the opinion Of Inc
National Federation of PostoAtlce
Clerks, which continued this week
its campaign of protest against
this economy measure.
The federation, affiliated with
the American Federation OF La
Dor, declares that the suspension
of protective laws, such as con-
templated under the furlough
plan, would break down prac'
tically all working standards es.
tablished in the last Is years, and
would be more costly than a pay
cut"
Hits Low Salaried
Taking up the cudgel Of Fed
eral employees in general and the
organized postoffice clerks in par
ticular, the federation declares:
"The elimination Of the night
work differential would bear
most heavily on the relatively
low-paid groups who would lose
directly 10 per cent pay, and,
in addition, a months furlOugh
without pay.
"The higher paid political ap-
pointees in the postal service do
not work at night and would
lose nothing by the elimination
of the pay differential. This is
a case of soak the poor"
