|CHANCE EPROPOSED
| IN POLICE SYSTEM
Speaker Gorfine Promises
Bill to Revise Prince
Georges Procedure.

Support Of legislative program de-
signed to change the police system un-
der which charges Of graft have been
made in Prince Georges County, Nd.
has been promised by Emanuel Cor
fine, Speaker of the House of Delegates,
it was learned today.
The Baltimore legislator recently
conferred with Keystone Automobile
Club officials, who have led the investi-
cation into alleged police irregularities
in the nearby county.
Would Change System.
william I. Canning, chief engineer
and legislative authority Of the club,
will obtain data from local Keystone
attorneys for formulation Of the pro-
posed program.
Gorfine said he would sponsor the
legislation expected to revise county
police procedure at the next session OF
the General Assembly. opening in jan
uary. It is known that Keystone ofn-
cials favor a police set-up restricting
authority of traffic arrests on arterial
highways to State officers. Such a
system, club attorneys believe. would
lessen chances Of collusion between
police, bondsmen and justices of the
peace.
Tax Accounts PrObed.
Operatives of the Intelligence Unit
of the Bureau of Internal Revenue are
understood to be investigating ac-
counts of some individuals named In
the Prince Georges inquiry. Of1cials
of the bureau, however, would neither
confirm nor deny reports of their par
ticipation in the inquiry today. Iney
pointed out that most of the evidence
collected from Washington motorists,
charging victimization by police In
Prince Georges. has been obtained
after arrests in the past six months.
No income tax returns for 1886 have
been filed. and, therefore. evidence
gathered in the current inquiry can
not be Immediately linked with tax
| accounts.
In designing the legislative pro-
gram for presentation in the House
of Delegates, Canning will obtain his
information on alleged police irregu-
larities from Attorneys Walter New
rath and Louis Lebowitz, who have
been collecting affldavits from WASH
| ington motorists. According to Har-
vey L. Cobb. general counsel OF the
Keystone Club, Canning will use this
data to demonstrate the shortcomings
of the present county police set-up
throughout Maryland.
