CITY HEADS STUDY
PROBLEM Of BEER
FOR POLICE FORCE
None, However, Makes Pre-
diction or Suggestion on
Course to Be Taken.
STRENGTH OF BEVERAGE
LOCALIZED ENTERS ISSUE
Decision May Be Found in De-
termination of Effect in
Individual Cases.

District officials today began a study
of the question of whether members of
the Police and Fire Departments are
to be permitted to Quench their thirst
with 80 per cent beer upon legalization
Of its sale here.
None of several officials who gave
thought to the matter today would ven-
what should be done. The question
cred official after Congress completes
its action on the pending District beer
measure. No decision as yet has been
reached.
1t was clearly indicated today. how
ever, that the District Commissioners,
after they have drafted regulations
governing the licensing and sale of
beer here, as proposed. likely would
be asked to decide whether policemen
and firemen should be granted or de-
prived of the right when on duty or
in uniform, to quaff the amber beverage
Strength of Beer Is Question.
The first thought that has arisen
in the minds of Maj. Ernest w. Brown,
superintendent of police, and George
S. Watson, chief engineer of the Fire
Department, is that the beer legislation
is based on presumption that 80 per
cent beer Is Misunderstanding.
At the same time they have in mind
the statement of numerous informed
observers that 80 per cent beer is ap-
proximately the same as that served
in prohibition days.
Unless it should be decided that fire.
men and policemen are not to drink
beer when on duty or in uniform. it
appears the problem may resolve itself
into determination in individual cases
of whether, in fact, such officer or fire.
man is under the influence of intoXi-
eating liquor.
Intoxicants Prohibited.
In prohibition days, policemen
were not permitted to enter a saloon,
except in line of duty.
Such officers and firemen now, Of
course, are prohibited from use of in
toxicants, except by physicians pre-
scription.
Policemen, now, by police regulations
set by the Commissioners, are not per-
mitted to smoke when on duty.
There appears no determination on
the part of District officials to deprive
policemen or firemen from drinking any
Notwithstanding beverage, but what will
be found to be an Intoxicating" drink
remains for the future.

matter at the District Building
Unless the matter is settled definitely
in rulings expected to be made soon
by Controller General McCarl on effects
of the new economy measure. District
officials plan to ask the Federal officer
for definite instructions on the point.
The question was raised yesterday
by Roland M. Brennan, chief clerk Of
the engineering department of the Dis
scale employees. in memorandum laid
befc-a Maj. Daniel j. Donovan, Dis
t. @"ditor and personnel officer.
- an act of Congress approved in
191 the District Commissioners were
authorized, in their discretion, to grant
not to exceed Is days leave of absence
with pay each year to per diem en-
ployes who have been employed for
10 or more consecutive months.
The economy law of last year, how
ever, suspended such leave during the
fiscal year ending June 80 next. The
new economy law, approved March 20
this year, repeals the section of the
economy law of last year which sus-
pended the leave with pay. A decision
is awaited, however, from the con-
troller general, ON the question of an
nual leave which will have accumulated.
Under regulations adopted in a pre-
vious year by the Commissioners, the
service year for per diem men ran
from March l to February % of the
next year. The new economy law be-

ADDED FACILITIES
URGED FOR SCHOOL
Tubercular Colored Children Un-
able to Get Proper Care, Fedora
ton of Civic Associations Told.

The need for more adequate school
facilities for tubercular colored children
was outlined last night at meeting of
the Federation of Civic Associations in
the board room Of the District Building.
w. H. Lewis, reporting for the fed
eration's Education Committee, said the
Toner School, for tubercular colored
pupils, is now filled to its capacity of
60, and there is a waiting list of 60
additional pupils now unable to attend
school or obtain school medical inspec-
tion.
A new school for tubercular children
being erected on Defense Highway, he
said, would accommodate only such
children as are already in schools.
The committee recommended that the
Board of Education be urged to pro-
vide additional temporary facilities
pending completion of the new school.
The federation. which is headed by
George w. Beasley, also amended its
constitution to permit standing COM
mitteeS to initiate studies of civic mat
tiers and to present recommendations
to the federation for action. The Com
mittee on Public Health and Sanitation
was directed to report on alley housing

HORACE Mann now
in CATHOLIC FAITH
Hoover Leader in 1928
Voices Denial of Religious
Attack on Smith.

Horace Mann. a Hoover leader In
1928. whose name was linked promi-
nently with the injection of the re-
ngious issue into the campaign, has
embraced the Catholic faith.
The announcement was made yester-
day in the Baltimore Catholic Review,
which said that Mann, who has law
offices in the Munsey Building. and
Mrs. Mann, were baptized here on
March IT, and received their first
communion the following day.
Their conversion. the Review said,
was traceable to radio addresses made
by Rev. Fulton j. Sheen, noted Catho-
Lie orator and author. Hearing Dr.
Sheen, it was amplified, Mr.. Mann be-
came interested. with the result that
he and his wife undertook the tnstruc-
ton from the clergyman that eliminated

Sheen baptizing them and giving the

Denies Religious Attacks.
The Review also publishes an inter-
view from Mann. in which he disclaims
responsibility for the religious attacks
on Alfred E. Smith, the Democratic
presidential nominee.
Il know of all the organized bigotry
and anti-Catholic propaganda in that
campaign" he says, land, although ]
have been accused of being directly re-
sponsible for the bigotry in the South
ern States. I can truthfully say before
God that while was in the Office !
never permitted anyone to make use OF
antt-Catholic propaganda"
Mr.. Mann, a native Of Tennessee was
active in Republican politics there for
many years, and his efforts in behalf
OF the Hoover ticket were credited with
swinging the heavy Southern vote to the
Republican ticket.
He later split with the President
when Mr.. Hoover overhauled the
patronage-distributing machinery In
Southern States, and in December, 1881
set up headquarters here for what wa.
described as Nation wide organiza-
tion, whose purpose was to head of the
denomination Of Mr. Hoover.
Son of Methodist Minister.
The denomination, he said, would be
an utterly useless gesture" destined tc
certain and calamitous defeat.
Mr.. Mann was not a member of any
church, although his father was g
Methodist minister Mrs. Mann had
previously been baptised in Protestant
denomination.
Their home is at seol Connecticut
avenue.
