HOOVER SILENT
ON PLEA FOR
RETENTION
Commissioners Term H i'm
Invaluable, But Rule
Is Compulsory

Capt. M. M. Barnard, super
intendent of District penal IN
stitutions, must retire from his
Job tomorrow unless he is saved
by executive order from the
White House.
A request for such an order
was made early in the week by
the District Commissioners, it
was revealed today, but at noon
today no word had been received
from President Hoover. The
economy bill requires retirement
of all employees who have reached
70 or the retirement age and
have had Is years or more OF
consecutive service. Captain
Barnard is II.
Captain Barnard is the only
person, on the list of 38 whose
retirement from District service
will be compulsory under the act,
whom the Commissioners are
making an effort to retain. They
describe him as indispensable to
the service.
The prison head is created
with having built up the Dis
trict prisons to a state of eff
cheney which compares well with
any in the country. He was the
originator of the "wall-less"
prison policy and his associates
say he is largely responsible for
the good discipline at Lorton and
Occoquan.

per cent, two of three high Dis
trict officials who are retired
Army officers, today were queried
following passage by the Senate
of the economy bill which affects
their status.
Maj. Gen. Herbert B. Crosby,
District Commissioner, said to-
day:
II have made no decision
on the matter. You would be
surprised how little attention 1
have given to it,"
General Crosby has been get
ting $4,000 as District Commis-
sioner and $4,000 as Army re.
tirement pay. The bill would
require him to give up the retire
ment pay and accept an 8.3 per

total of $8,253.
Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick,
chairman of the Public Utilities
Commission, said definitely he
would remain as a District Of
