Brown Pushes Drive
For More Police

flor an additional 1875 men, the
numerical force of the Police De-
partment should be at least 1900.
The Washington Board of Trade
and other trade and civic bodies,
he said, have expressed themselves
in favor of this number.
Need Has Increased
Another factor which reduces
the patrolling strength of the
local department is the legaliza-
ton of liquor and boxing in the
District, Major Brown stated.
Men have to be assigned to
direct traffic and preserve order
during boxing matches and to in
vestigate liquor complaints. Major
Brown said that the reduction OF
street lighting, the increased num-
Der of automobile registrations
and the increase of population in
the District all added to the need
for a large police force.
In his QUESTIONABLE to police
chiefs of other cities. Major Brown
requested data on the number OF
men assigned to foot, automobile
and motorcycle patrol; the type
of equipment, methods OF promo
ton and demotion, wages and
general police regulations.

Interpretation of a decision rem

to be returned to the minimum SAL

CHANGES LOOM
IN COAL CODE

New steps to enforce the code
for coal and coke dealers were an
nounced yesterday by the NRA
along with the reluctant admls-
sion that enforcement of the code
for hotels appears impossible.
In the first development, which
was brought to issue by the resig-
nation of all members of the fuel
dealers code authority, the i RA
announced temporary agency
would be set up until a new code
authority is elected.
Hotel men made application for
exemption from code compliance
for all hotels not making operat
ing costs. They asked reduction
in the minimum wage scales and
a work week up to 81 hours, one
of the longest in force in any in
dustry under the Blue Eagle.
Coal dealers code officers quit
in protest of the NRA'S insistence
on the right to investigate and
withhold approval of pric e
schedules.
In yesterdays announcement,
the NRA said it would investigate
these schedules ''in exactly the
same manner" as heretofore, and
with "all reasonable dispatch"

ing. We would like these negO-
tiatiOns to continue in an
atmosphere of peace"
Governor John G. Winant of

JAPAN 8 NAVAL
STAND HIT
Rr International News service

by international news SeFFlc0
Tokyo's desire for an increase
in the ratio of Japanese naval
strength to the British and Ameri-
can fleets is likely to be given
much more sympathetic considera-
tion if japan adopts a conciliatory
attitude in the naval discussions.
This was the reaction of high
ranking State and Navy depart
ment officials today to Tokyo dis
patches that the Japanese govern
ment had adopted a new naval
policy providing for outright par
ity.
Officials pointed out Japan can
not achieve parity by merely pro-
claiming it and that if Tokyo
adopts an adamant stand and
blocks continued naval limitation,
it is not inconceivable that the
United States and Great Britain
would maintain the existing 5-5-3
ratio, or at least superiority by
outbuilding the Nippon fleet.
