Here the United States Engineers

the engineers Office, will be sold in

and hauls her away.
Now Capt Ketcham is trying to find
who legally is responsible for the piles
that brought him and his hopes to
grief. If he does, he contemplates
legal action against that party.
But while he does all that, the J. j.

MOVING Of POLICE
RADIO PLANNED
Officials to Install Station
to Quieter Quarters at
No, 10.

Police officials made preparations to-
day to end the reign of interference
with crime reports flashed out over the
departments short-wave station wPDw
by moving the broadcasting studio at
headquarters to Quieter quarters in the
tenth precinct station.
For some time, it seems, policemen
in the radio equipped scout cars have
complained that music waiting over the
air waves had interfered with the re-
ception of broadcast orders from head
quarters. Right In the midst of crime
report, they said, would come the STIR
ring strains of Halls of Montezuma"
or Anchors Aweigh." Then, at other
times, they would hear loud reports
which sounded very much like a ma
chine gun in serious action.
Police officials knew that WPDW was
supposed to have an exclusive wave
channel that no one was allowed to
use but police radio stations. So they
were satisfied that the music and the
noise was coming from source, other
than another radio station.
Picks Up Every Note.
The band music, especially such tunes
as The Halls Of MonteZuma," gave the
investigators clue. In a building ad-
joining police headquarters, occupied as
an armory by the 9Th Marine Brigade,
they found the brigade band rehearsing
The weather was warm and the win
dows were open. And the sensitive
microphone at WPDWs control board
was picking up every note.
The machine gun-like reports were
traced to the backfiring of police cars
parked in the alley in the rear of head
quarters.
The solution Of the problem was diff
cult because the weather was far too
warm TO order the closing of the win
dows in the broadcasting studio. Police
officials knew they could stop the noise
from the cars by banning parking in
the alley. but they also knew it would be
useless to try and move the Marines
So the problem was tackled from an
other angle
Inspector l.. l. H Edwards. personnel
officer in charge of broadcasting, figured
that since the transmitter was located
in the tenth precinct station, the broad
casting studio might as well be located
there also where Lieut.. Jim Kelly, radio
supervisor, could control the studio as
well as the broadcasting end. Moreover,
there would be nothing at the tenth
precinct station, in a quiet residential
neighborhood. to interfere with the
crime flashes
Transfer Orders Issued.
Orders for the transfer of the studio
were issued, and as soon as Lieut. Kelly
can set up temporary emergency
studio the apparatus will be shifted.
Inspector Edwards said the change
would in no way delay the transmits
sion OF the messages from headquarters
The police RADIO flashes are now tele-
phoned to the studio, direct from the
Detective Bureau, he said and No. 10,
to telephone, is no further away than
the Detective Bureau.

The District Commissioners will ask
the administrator of public works for
funds with which to construct a new
bridge across Rock Creek at P street
and urge the allowance Of funds to
complete the link in the Rock Creek

and Pennsylvania avenue.
This became known today when Dr.
Luther H. Reichelderfer, chairman OF
the Board Of District Commissioners,
answered a communication from the
Fine Arts Commission, advocating tnat
the city heads ask for money to COM
plete this important traffic artery. Dr.
Reichelderfer said that I'VE have con-

cost about S250O00 Plans for this are
understood to be well underway. For
Improvement of the parkway proper,
some $4,000 additional is needed.
H.P. Caemmerer, executive secretary
of the Fine Arts Commission, said TO-
day that this is one of the great city
planning projects and transforms an
old ravine into a beautiful parkway.
He added that its consummation means
the outlay of a small amount OF money
to achieve a great result.
Improvement of the parkway would

Mr. Caemmerer pointed out that the
Improvement of the lower end of Rock

SNAKES DO EVERYTHING BUT KICK
IN FATAL WRIGGLERS' WAR AT ZOO
Mschievous Young Pilot Unframed in Battle He Starts
With Brother Reptiles.

mlSchievous young pilot snake,
captured near New Market, Va, after
he had been stepped on by farmer S
wife, started battle which ended in
death for one Of his crawling brethren
in the reptile house at the Zoo yes
terday.
The pilot was turned over to DR..
William H. Mann, director Of the Zoo,
by Mervin Schaeffer, owner of a farm
near New Market. The farmer had
caught the snake, he said after his
wife had walked on the reptile while
going about her chores at their farm
house
All the other snakes were still asleep
when the pilot was placed in one Of
the glass-fronted display cubicles in the
reptile house. The pilot seemed to
resent the loss Of his freedom, how
ever. for he was no sooner placed on
the gravel covered floor of the cubicle
than he went slithering off to butt his
head against the glass front, In a
frenzied effort to escape.
Has Possible Headache.
He stopped after a while, possibly be-
cause he had given himself a headache.
Then, giving his new home cursory
once-over. his eye fell on an indigo
snake and water snake, lying side by
side beneath a miniature palm tree.
The pilot wriggled his thin, black body
across the cubicle and stretched himself
out beside the two larger reptiles. Con-
vinced they really were asleep, he slap
ped the indigo across the head with his
tail Then, before the indigo had got
his eyes all the way open, he repeated
the performance on the water snake.
The indigo and the water snake eyed
each other angrily. There was an ex-
change Of strange, rumbling noises
then the indigo. evidently angered by
the water snakes remarks, swung into
action
The battle was furious while 1t lasted
The reptiles slashed at each other with
thel- tails, wrapped themselves around
each other, bit-did everything, in fact
but kick.
1t was all over in few minutes The
indigo got strange hold on his foe

~ USINESS hadn't been so good for
- watermen this year, but Capt.
Asa Ketcham from over on the
IL Eastern Shore Of Maryland had
been boating all his life, and he
just had to stay in it, good or bad.
He had that big husky Chesapeake
Bay schooner he'd been sailing for more
than 80 years, and together they'd
pulled through some mighty thick
weather both financial and windy The
j. ]. Underhill is the schooner's name,
and along about three weeks ago she
came into need of considerable repairing.
Well, Capt. Ketcham had treated his
boat right all these years, and, anyway,
he had a Job in sight, so he had the
J. j. Underhill hauled out on marine
railway. Her hull was repaired and
caulked. Then new mainsail and
jib were bent on. AS though in salute
to the repairs. more jobs came to her

of oyster shell at Alexandria, and then
luck gave him a load of sand to take
down river And if that wasn't enough
good luck for an old team that had
fallen on the hard ways Of the water,
Capt. Ketcham picked up an order for
a boatload of potatoes to be run as soon
as he got back with the sand.
Craft Aground in Potomac.
The old j. j. Underhill was put over
board and the oyster shell was loaded
into her hold and on her decks. Capt.
Ketcham and his son Charles and a
colored deck hand started across the
Chesapeake and up the Potomac. They
had plenty of time SO they used sail
for the whole run. Things really were
looking up.
But that was week or more ago.
Today, the j. j. Underhill is hull-under
in the Potomac on the fats off Gravelly
Point. Her mastS tower above the

Receiving Set.

The police have about decided some
body in Washington has a new short

All last night, they kept receiving
telephone calls from somebody who an
nounced there was shooting here, a
stabbing there, hold-up at this place,
robbery at that place. Always, the
voice was the same; always, the reports
proved false.
And, after it was all over, the police
were so confused that they weren't sure
whether they'd chased six false reports,
seven or eight. They knew only that
they'd had very breathless evening
of it.
After sizing the situation up, they de-

RAIDS
ON CIVIL SERVICE
Gibson Urges FurIoughed
Workers Be Placed in New
Federal Jobs.

Efficient Government employees fur
program should be given positions In the
newly created Federal agencies, Repre-
sentative Gibson (Republcan) OF Ver-
mont declared in several pages OF ex-
tended remarks appearing today in the
Congressional Record.
Gibson severely condemned the Demo-
ratic-oontrolled Congress for "raiding"
the civil service system, demoralizing
the public service and, under the plea
of emergency, creating many new agen-
cies necessitating the employment Of
thousands of persons who will be ap-
pointed as the spoils Of Democratic VIC
tory"
The jobs newly created and placed
outside the civil service law" he said,
should be utilized to take care of eff
cient Government employees who will
be furloughed as the result of the econ
omy program of the Democratic admin
istration and arrangements made to
transfer competent employees from bu
reaus that are to be abolished to the
new agencies which are being set up.

jorities in Congress to fill all new jobs
with hungry Democrats by disregarding
the merit system, renders executive In

Gibson also declared a review OF the

the President and its enormous and
bewildering' appropriations. shows. in
respect TO the Civil Service, "a studied

Gibson charged that during the spe-

distinct raids on the Civil Service sys-
tenn, and by threats and attempted
emasculation of the Civil Service law
have made the merit system hollow
mockery."
