brought to prompt completion at this
location. In this area should be
convention hall where the largest con-
ventions might be held and where the
voteless District citizens might at least
witness the workings of a national
convention.
A brief history of the federation and
the aims of the group were outlined
by Gammel. As chairman of the
Police and Fire Committee for five
years he explained the problems facing
these two departments.
Speaking for the federation, Gam
mel declared: Our estimate of the
personnel Of the Police Department
OF the District is that it is one of the
finest organized forces in this coun-
try" A survey of the situation will
disclose more young men on our police
force than in any city of comparable
size in the country.
Youth and Age Combined.
Where there is youth, there is en-
thusiasm and action, and where this
Is balanced by the long years of ex-
perience of Maj. and Supt. Ernest w.
Brown, there is combination which
is hard to surpass. The forces record
is one for commentator rather than
condemnation.
Civic groups have been practically
unanimous in requests for additional
men for the undermined police
force
Because of high and continued eff
cheney of the Fire Department. in
surance rates have been reduced here
and fire losses have been cut down
to a low point; to one that will COM
pare favorable with the best organized
fire departments in the country. The
federation was instrumental in Sc
curing equipment and raising the pay
for members of this department also,
he pointed out.
Both Of these departments may al
ways be assured for the continued
support of the federation, but by the
same token. they may expect condem-
nation when after careful investiga-
tion the federation is convinced the
personnel does not measure up to the
standards that will always be required
from such forces in the National
Capital, Gammel declared.

H|LLYARD TO CITE
YEARS PROGRESS
Michigan Park President to
Offer Annual Report To.
morrow Niqht.

President John F. Hillyard of the
Michigan Park Citizens Association.
tomorrow night will present his an
nual report at meeting of the group
at the Bunker Hill School.
In communication to The Star
yesterday, Hillyard outlined what he
intends to present in this report.
The two major achievements are
the securing OF rezonfng order and
the establishment of fixed taxicab
rates for the Michigan Park section.
Petition Signed by 600.
Hillyard believes that a petition
signed by 900 persons and repeated.
visits by representatives of the assol
ciation to the zoning offices played al
large part in getting the rezoning the
association wanted. Hillyard, at tho
| request Of his associations Public
Utilities Committee, personally ap-
pealed to the Public Utilities Conn
mission TO get the taxicab rate ad-
justment.
Hillyard also will refer to the many
requests sent to the National Capitol
Parks and Planning Commission urg-
ing the early development of turkey
thicket recreation center, and will
remind the citizens that the plans
which have been approved by all
parties already have been seen in
their permanent form by members Of
the group.
School Campaign Planned.
New plans have been made to con-
tinue the campaign for a new school
or improvement of the Bunker Hill
School, to augment the appearances
of officers before the Board of Edu-
cation and congressional committees
and the numerous letters written to
the authorities.
The elimination of the dangerous
Baltimore and Ohio railroad crossing
in the Michigan Park area by the
erection OF an overpass has been urged
and the association is doing every
thing in its power to neutralize the
danger of the crossing at the earliest
opportunity.
Hillyard believes the association
especially should commend the chair
man and members of the special
committee which had charge of the
Christmas tree celebration for the
exemplary way they performed their
duties.
The associations membership has
increased 80 per cent over last year
according to the report, making its
record of increase one of the best in
the city.
