WOMAN'S POLICE
STATUS IS SOUGHT
D. G. HEADS Expected to 0p'
pose Congress Sanction
Of Bureau.

The oft-revived proposal for giving
legislative foundation for the estab.
lishment Of the Woman's Bureau of the
Metropolitan Police Department. now
existing only by ORDER of the Beard
OF Commissioners, was to be the sub
ject of a report to Congress to be
adopted by the District Commissioners
today.
The Commissioners. it was indicated
this morning, will disapprove the pro
posed legislation. taking the same po-
sition as former Boards of Commits
sioners.
This was one of a group of propose
measures, submitted to Congress ct
the past session. on which the citv
heads have been asked to make re-
ports for consideration during the ses-
sion beginning tomorrow.
The late Lieut.. Nina Van Wrinkle
former head Of the Woman's Bureau.
campaigned year after year for es-
tabhshment of the bureau by legis-
latiye rule.
Other Units on Same Basis.
1t is expected the new Board of
Commissioners will reject the proposal
taking the position that the Traffic
CuANaN OtiINl uAiIto VI lllC OllI-
Department were established only by
order OF the Commissioners and that
there is no more reason for an act of
Congress for the Woman's Bureau than
for the other important Police Depart
ment divisions.
The Commissioners also prepared to
dlsapprove a measure to make Jeffer-
sons birthday District holiday The
Commissioners believe a holiday honor
ing Thomas jefferson should be ma
tional rather than local in scope.
The city heads also were to act on a
report disapproving bill to exempt
property of the National Society OF
the Sons of the American Revolution
from taxation.
Text of Report.
The report prepared for the Commits
sionerS' action reads: The Commits
sioners believe it to be a sounder funda-
mental policy to insist that the founders
and members of organizations which
are not purely charitable, educational
or religious and therefore whose prop
erty would not be exempt under the
present general law should pay taxes
for such property and recognize such
an obligation in the founding Of their
institutions and the calculation of their
budgets
