ID. C. Detective BILL
OFFERED IN HOUSE
Assignment Of Precinct Officers
to Other Bureaus Would
Be Permitted.

A bill designed to give police on
cials authority to assign precinct de-
tectives to any bureau In the DEPART
ment was introduced today by Chair
man Norton Of the House District
Committee at the request Of the Police
mems Association.
A similar measure died in the last
Congress after reaching both the
House and Senate calendars. Police
Supt. Ernest w. Brown, who favors
the proposed legislation, explained that
under existing law precinct detectives
cannot be assigned to the Detective
Bureau unless promoted to the rank OF
detective sergeant with substantial
increase in pay. A detective sergeant
receives increased compensation OF
$500 . year and . precinct detective
$240 year.
The bill, according to Maj. Brown.
will make the detective force more
flexible without increasing the Police
Departments salary budget.

some weeks, she added.
Rounding out her first years anni-
versary as q newspaper writer, Mrs.
Roosevelt revealed that some Of her
fan mail has contained . note Of
criticism.
Some of the women who write, she
said, feel that she includes too much
nonsense" about inconsequential ac-
tivities and that che should devote her
space to matters of deeper moment.
Mrs. Roosevelt explained that she
could understand that attitude, since
many people attach such importance
to the position Of the Presidents wife
that they feel she either should
achieve the effect of being very i'm
portant person through veil Of mys-
terry or that she should engage only in
activities of serious import. She add
ed, however, that unfortunately she
was not asked to write Of serious mat
ters.
Speaking of her recent entry into
the ranks of the Newspaper Guild as
q member at large she said that she
had always believed in the guild. In
view Of her position, however, she does
not expect to take part tn picketing
activities, she added. That was made
