GLASSFORD TAKES
BE[ATED VACATION
Police Chief, Fatigued by
B. {. F., to Tour New
England States.

Fatigued from weeks OF strenuous
work during the encampment of the
Bonus Expeditionary Force, Brig. Gen.
Pelham D. Glassford, superintendent Of
police, left Washington today for a be-
lated vacation.
Gen. Glassford will be away two
weeks. He planned to go direct to West
Point for a brief visit and then make
an automobile tour of the New England
States. Inspector E. w. Brown will act
as superintendent of police during his
absence.
RESIGNATION Rumor Denied.
Coincident with the departure Of Gen.
GlaSSford there came a renewal OF the
oft-repeated rumorS that his reslgna-
ton was imminent. and that he would
not return as superintendent of police.
Close friends, however, emphatlcally
denied the reports, and pointed out that
the instructions Gen. Glassford left for
his subordinateS, indicated very def
nitely that he does not intend to resign.
One Of the first plans Gen. Glassford
proposes to carry out upon his return
is the creation of special emergency
squad, trained in handling tear gas
bombs. The personnel of this proposed
squad will be drawn from the various
precincts. Instructions for handling
tear gas Will be given by experts. The
squad also will be equipped with tear
gas masks.
Gas Masks Overlooked.
For several years the Police Depart
ment has maintained a supply OF tear
gas bombs for riot use and other emer-
gency purposes, but only few officers
were instructed how to handle the
weapons. Equipping those officers with
gas masks also had been overlooked.
The lack of such equipment was en-
phasized during the eviction OF the
bonus army.
Gen. Glassford had planned originally
to take a vacation early in July, but
the presence in Washington of the
thousands of bonus-seeking veterans
forced him to postpone these arrange
ments. During their stay he worked
from IA to 18 hours a day, took his
meals irregularly and thus impaired
his physical condition. He thinks a
two-week rest away from Washington
and the problems of the Police Depart
ment will be beneficial.
