NAVY WORKER
RECALLS DAYS
ABOARD SHIP

When the Mayflower was dis
pensed with by President Hoover
as the Chief Executives ship,
there was a sad man at the Wash
ington Navy Yard.
That man was c. F. Winkleman,
Of 722 A st. S. E., then a copper
smith at the yard, who for "a
years had worked on the May
flower, and, naturally, had a soft
spot in his heart for the ship.
Winkleman, now 70. and retired
from the yard for the last six
years, today recalled that the
Mayflower was built in Scotland,
and was sold to the American
Government for 100000 during
the Spanish-American war for dis
patch work. -.
Mr.. Winkleman started his
trade here in 1881. He recalls that
there was a slack in the work in
the local yard in 1898, and that
he was laid off.
He went to Norfolk, Va, how
ever, and worked there and IN
Newport News until 1904, when he
returned to washington and con-
tinued his duties here.
While in Newport News, he be-
came president of the copper
smiths union there, and proudly
recalls that while there he was a
Judge of elections when Mckinley
won the Presidency.
Now and then he returns to the
local yard, he said today, adding:
whenever 1 go into the shop,
they always blow the whistle for
me-"
That, it was explained, is mark
Of highest regard paid by his for
mer fellow-Workmen.
He is enjoying his retirement
immensely, taking trips now and
then and doing just as want to-

fore the more stringent immigra-

POLICE ATTORNEY
At EARLY DATE
HOPE OF HAzEN
Commissioner Says Plan Is
Working Well in Other
Cities.
MAI. BROWN WRITES
GARNETT FOR AID
Assistant Prosecutor for Investi.
eating Criminal Cases Seen
Crime Curb.

Commissioner Melvin G. Hazen, who
supervise police activities, expressed
hope today that the proposal to assign
an assistant United States attorney
to police headquarters would be
adopted at an early date.
Hazen said Mai. Ernest W. Brown
superintendent of police, talked the
matter over with him before dis
patching to United States Attorney
Leslie c. Garnett letter suggesting
the plan as a means to improved law
enforcement in the District.
THE plan is working out well In
other cities" the Commissioner said,
'and I believe it would be helpful
here In promoting administration of
the law"
Browns letter to Garnett follows:
in the investigation of our GRIM
inal cases. especially homicide cases,
1t has been my thought for some time
We could develop better co-ordina-
tion Of the duties of the Police De-
parement and the Office of the United
States attorney if an assistant United
States attorney could be assigned to
the investigation of all homicide
cases, to work with the Police Depart
n1ent in the investigation and de-
veloping of evidence.
This procedure is in operation in
many other jurisdictions and it is my
understanding that it works out most
successfully.
Il would appreciate very much your
reaction to this suggestion"
Garnett was out of the city when
the letter arrived at his Office yesterday,
but he was expected to reply to the
proposal today or tomorrow. When
such plan was broached to him
informally several days ago, Garnett
said it might be a good idea" but
expressed reluctance to initiate the
plan.
With an assistant United States at
torney at his side when he is in
vestigating a murder, the detective
would have the advantage of immediate
expert legal advice in his effort to COL
lect evidence that would stand up ir
court.
The prosecutor, by becoming thor
oughly familiar with all ramifcations
OF . case as it develops, would be in
much better position to handle
presentation Of evidence and wit
nesses before the grand jury and at
the trial.
Effect in New York.
The plan long has been in effect
In New York. where several assistants
from the district attorneys office reg
ularly are assigned to police head
quarters, Maj. Brown pointed out.
The system has been employed here
In rare instances. In the second in
vestigation of the death of Mrs. Vir-
ginia Mcpherson some years ago for
mer United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover assigned Assistant United States
Attorney William H. Collins to in
vestigate conditions at the scene of
the crime. That move was made
only because charges had been made
that detectives had "bungled" the
case, however.
