MORE DENTISTS
BADLY NEEDED
IN ARMY

Enthusiastic support OF many
House members today was thrown
behind the drive to enact the
pending Collins bill which would
provide an adequate number OF
dentists for the United States
Army. -,
Introduced by Representative
Collins Cd. of Mississippi, at the
behest of the American Dental AS
ISOLATION, the bill is pending before
the House Military Affairs Com
mittee. Chairman Hill Of Ala.
bama. predicted early passage OF
the measure.
Held Necessary
The bill provides one dentist for
each 500 men in the Army, a set,
up similar to that in the Navy De
partment. Hill said passage Of the
bill is absolutely necessary" The
present Army dental corps is far
too small to care for the enlisted
personnel, Hill asserted.
Collins declared:
1--WE have already held hear
ingS on my bill and they showed
conclusively. believe, the great
need for increasing the number
of Army dentists"
Representative Kramer Cd, OF
California, said passage of the bill
is mot only fair but necessary"
He said:
"The standing strength of the
Army in the past three years has
been increased many thousands.
Yet in that time, the number Of
dentists has been increased by
only Is.
GOOD ECONOMY
Nov is the time to economic.
If we take proper precautions
against diseases arising from
poor teeth, we can save the Gov
eminent q lot Of money in the
long run. 1t would not cost much
to pay the salaries of the den
fists needed for the Army"
Hill said he believed all members
of his committee would vote for
the general detectives" Of the Col
Inns measure. He said there may
be disagreement on the "exact
number" of dentists for the Army
but that a good increase" will be
voted.

HUFF IS SILENT
ON D. {. JOB

Welfare Director Elwood Street
said today he had received no
word from Ray L. Huff, recently
appointed to succeed Capt. M. M.
Barnard as superintendent of Dis
trict Penal Institutions, as to
whether he had decided to take
the position.
Street added, however, that he
expects a decision from the ap-
pointee within three days.
Huff's heSitancy in accepting
the position, it was learned, is due
to the possibility that he may be
promoted by the Department of
Justice, in which he has been en-
ployed for eight years as a parole
executive. A reorganization OF
the Departments Bureau of Pri-
sons is in progress following the
resignation on April ! of its di-
rector, Sanford Bates, to accept a

INQUIRY
JOINED BY MD.
Continued from Page u

(COntinued from Page II
follows close upon the heels Of
the refusal Of the Federal Bureau
Of Investigation to participate. A
statement was issued yesterday by
J. Edgar Hoover declaring that:
"The Potomac is an inland
waterway; therefore the Bureau
of Investigation has no jurisdiC-
ton"
Prior to this, both District and
Virginia authorities had dis
claimed responsibility.
CASE FOR MARYLAND
Inspector Bernard w. Thomas,
chief of detectives Of the District
police, stated this morning that
the case definitely belonged to
Maryland, as Keene was last seen
alive at II o'clock Thursday night
while the vessel was off the coast
of Colonial Beach, Va. These wa
tiers are under Maryland juriSdic-
ton.
However, in an attempt to Co
operate, Viego Larsen, police
photographer, was sent to Keene's
home in an effort to obtain finger
prints so that they could be COM
pared with prints found in the
stateroom. He was not successful.
Pair Meet Steamer
Brubaker and Cassidy met the
steamer when it docked this morn
ing. They will examine the blood
stained stateroom from which
Keene vanished. question men,
berS of the crew, check all facts
with Norfolk police and return
here on the vessel. Upon arriving
they are expected to question
friends and relatives Of the miss
ing man.
Upon conclusion Of their IN
quiry, they and officials Of the
Maryland police will decide on the
question of jurisdiction.
Norfolk police, who have been
working on the case, are prac-
tically certain that robbery was
the motive for the attack upon
Keene. They base this conclusion
on the fact that his coat was
found, but his purse and $40 which
he was known to have at the
time were missing. The bed and
wash basin of his stateroom were
bloodstained and his broken
glasses, wrist watch and gloves
were discovered on the floor.
Accident Theory Denied
Charles F. Keene,. jr.. son OF the
missing man, secuted a theory OF
the Norfolk police that his father
might have had a lung hemor-
rhage, rushed to the stateroom
window and fallen overheard. He
said his father suffered from no
lung ailment and that the finding
Of bloodStains on q rail several
feet from the window could not be
reconciled with such a conclusion.
The son likewise denied possible
suicide for insurance purposes, ex-
planning his father carried only a
81 500 policy, and that a check
of his bank accounts revealed that
his financial situation was salts
