+ EDGAR HOOVER IS FORBIDDEN
SECOND TINE TO ACCEPT MEDAL

For the second time within a. few
months J. Edgar Hoover, director OF
the Justice Departments Division OF
Investigation, has been prevented by
regulations from receiving a medal
in recognition of his law-enforce-
ment services. This time the award
came direct from King Carol of Ru-

Not long ago Hoover was chosen
as recipient of the American Flag
Association medal, awarded to the
person who had done most for law
enforcement in the District OF Co.

was forced to decline because OF
Justice Department regulation

Hoover went to the Rumanian lega-

King Carol, a plush case containing

Crown Of Rumania and an official
decree comforting upon Hoover the

D. c. SEXES 5000
MEASURE DEVICES
Roberts Asks for Increased
Number of Inspectors
in Annual Report.

More than 5000 weighing or meas
uring devices used by Washington
business firms we're either condemned
or confiscated during the past fiscal
year at the direction of George M.
Roberts, superintendent of weights and
measures, because they were faulty.
This statement was made by Rob-
erts in his annual report submitted
yesterday to the District Commission
ers, in which he asked for an increase
in the number of inspectors so as to
afford more adequate protection for
the public against dealers practicing
short weight and measure.
Milk Bottles Score Perfect.
Milk bottles show a perfect score in
the tests for proper measures, 1,425,-
BIG tests having been made during the
year and all showing proper size. This
was the only class in which no meas
ures were condemned or confscated.
In all, 1,506,574 tests of weighing
and measuring devices were made by
inspectors of the department, Roberts
reported. Visits to stores totaled H.
929. Roberts said members of his staff
worked 3,617 hours overtime during
the past year. and yet he felt his de-
partment had been unable to perform
its full public duty with the staff now
available
Twenty-Five cases of short weight or
short measure were taken to court
during the past year and in none Of
the cases disposed of SO far was the
defendant acquitted. Roberts said.
Seventy-two convictions we're obtained,
in which the fines ranged from So
to $50.
Roberts Urges New Pier.
Roberts urged construction of new
pier at the Municipal Fish Wharf, to
replace one which has been demol-
iShed construction of additional sheds
for farmers who operate at the Farm
ers' Produce Market; repaving of the
area at the rear of the Fish Market,
and repairing of the water and sewer
lines at the Fish Market
The District made net profit OF
$13,938 out of operation of the West
ern, Eastern, Fish and Farmers Mar
kets, Roberts said. Rents collected
from tenant dealers totaled $37.o18,
while expenses of the District facili-
ties totaled but S23,080.

tinction was awarded "in recognition
of your merits in promoting closer
international police collaboration"
Hoover expressed his thanks for
the decoration in diplomatic terms,
but with some misgivings that he did
not express. Taking the medal and
scroll back to his Office, Hoover con-
suited other Government officials
and confirmed his belief that Gov
ernment officials and employees can
not accept decorations from foreign
governments.
He was old he would have to de-
posit the decoration with the State
Department. where it must remain
in custody until he leaves the Gov
ernment service. Only then may he
pin the medal on his chest.
The Rumanian honor is the out
growth of a cooperative exchange
of flngerprints among leading ma
tions, promoted by Director Hoover
in connection with his development
of a national clearing house for
criminal Identification. There are
now more than 100000 fingerprint
cards in this collection-sent in by
police agencies in this country and
many foreign lands.
