!. w. Shimon, Capital
Sergeant, Is Crack
Shot With Pistol

Does a college education help
to make a better detective ser
geant?
Or does experience as a de-
tective sergeant help to make
a better education?
The answer to both questions
is yes, according to Detective Ser
geant Joseph w. Shimon, 27, who
finished prelegal training at col
lege only to join the Washing
ton police force, and now plans
to resume his legal education.
He Is Youngest Sergeant
Shimon, who became the
youngest detective sergeant on
the force when promoted re-
Gently, thinks nothing Of turn
ing from his duties as gun-tot-
ing sleuth to reading the classics.
A quiet, good-looking young
man, he combines the life of
an intellectual, well-read student
with that of a rip-roaring ca
reer at tracing clues. inveSti-
eating murders, making arrests
and shooting wher the occasion
so demands.

season, and indulges in target prac-
tice with his rifle and pistol in
the off seasons.
Handy With Pistol
Among his brothers on the
force he is known as a crack
shot-which may be a handy ac-
complishment for a detective SER
geant, but is not absolutely neces-
sary in the training of a lawyer.
Shimon maintains an up-to-date
library in his apartment in a
residential hotel.
Born and bred in Boston,
Shimon took prelegal work there
at Northeastern Prep School, as
Sisting himself through the school
by serving as a boxing instructor.
Coming to Washington when he
was 81, to enter George Washing
ton University Law School, he
found that his limited finances
would compel him to find work
instead.
He joined the police force, work.
ing his way up to the rank of de-
tective sergeant in five years. With
that background, and with the
money he has been able to save,
he plans to return to law school
and become a full-fledged attor-
ney.

GULF ATLANTIC
CANAL PLANS
SUBMITTED
Project Would Cut Georgia
and Florida, Saving 500
Miles in Shipping
BY International News Service

Plans for a ship.barge canal
from Cumberland Sound, on the
Atlantic, to st. Georges Sound,
on the Gulf, we're laid today be-
fore L. w. Roberts, of the Public
Works Board, by Chairman T. G..
Woolford, of the Georgia Canal
Commission, and a delegation of
experts.
Included we're Judge Hollins
Randolph, Atlanta; w. S. Lee,
and w. S. Lee, jr., engineers of
Charlotte, N. C. Today'S pro-
posal was for the Federal Gov
ernment to construct a canal to
cost $125,000000, which will
serve 33 States and save about
500 miles for coastwise shipping
from the Atlantic to the Gulf.
Plan Expanded
The initial plan was for barge
canal IL feet deep by 100 feet
wide. Chairman Woolford today
asked a canal to handle all types
of shipping. 1t will be 38 feet
deep, 2OO-25O feet wide. and eX-
tend 1865 miles across the south
ern tip of Georgia and the upper
border of Florida.
Woolford said:
"This is a practical PROPOSE
tiOn.
'Its construction would put
from 5000 to 10000 men to
work Immediately, and within
go to 80 days, $4,000 men, who
would be drawn from surround
ing States.
"a survey is partially COM
pIeted, together with locations
of camps to house 10000 men
at the start, and provisions for
others to be needed not long
afterward.

interest, on a nominal toll Of
25 cents a ton, which compares
with toll charges at Panama OF
$1.23 a ton.

plan to the end that agricul-
ture, industry and commerce of
the United States may be more
adequately served; that maxi
mum n m c use may be
made of the gulf and Atlantic

PUBLIC WORKS
SPEEDED BY
PRESIDENT
Immediate Unemployment Is
Goal as Fund AIIocations
Are Increased
By International News Service

President Roosevelt has per-
sonally spurred on the job-giving
public works unemployment pro-
gram, it became evident today,
with immediate increased en-
ployment throughout the country
as the objective.
This was indicated by major
developments, including:
/. ALLEGATION Of nearly $780,
100000 in projects on which
Secretary of Interior Ickes
said men can go right to
work."
2. Priority to projects prom
ising immediate employment.
and indefinite postponement OF
others;
3. Warming that money for
Federal projects would be with
drawn from any plan not put
ting men to work at earliest
possible moment, to be reallo-
Gated to those that will pro
vide work.
Defense Projects Culled
Even national defense proposals
are being culled if they do not
offer maximum job possibilities
for each dollar to be expended.
Thus Secretary Of the Navy
SwanSon's request for naval
aviation construction fund from
public works was laid aside, while
approval was given to a schedule
of repairs and construction at
Navy yards and naval air sta
tions which will extend activities
to many parts of the country, es-
pecially metropolitan areas Of
both coasts.
Coast Guard Gets Fund
Similarly generous financing
for a Coast Guard replenishment
was approved. including construc-
ton of vessels at Quincy, Mass,
Camden, N. j., Newport News.
Va; New York. Wilmington, Del,
and Baltimore.
These major ALLEGATIONS were
supplemented by appropriations
of lesser amounts for half a
score of operations in various Sec
tions under many departments,
all picked because they offer pos
sibility of immediate employment.
Col. H. M. Waite, aide to Sec
retary Ickes, was ordered to go

BUS MEN ASK
FOR NEW CODE
By International News Service

BY International News Service
A demand that the entire code
submitted to the NRA for the mo,
tor bus industry be thrown out
because it was written and sub
mitted by Railway and traction
controlled concerns" was made to,
day by r. j. Scarr, representing
the American Bus Association.
Scarr made his demand at the
opening Of the public hearing on
the code. He said:
"The National Association Of
Motor Bus Operators, which
submitted this code is n0n-rep-
resentative Of the industry and
it's membership comprises less
than 10 per cent of the firms
operating BUSES in this country.
The members of the association
are well-knOwn railway and trac-
ton company subsidiaries.
"The consideration of such a
code, which was written OBJ
viousIy to suppress independent
bus operators, should not con-
tinue at this hearing. In fact
the emergency railway act and
the transit code would govern
and should govern all the Oper-
atOrS of busseS who have sub
