SEN, ROBINSON

With the announcement that
Senator William H. King CD OF

chairman of the Senate District
Committee, would retain his post,
Senator Joseph T. Robinson CD
of Arkansas, majority leader, Is
expected today to fill the three
Democratic vacancies on the COM

The vacancies are occasioned by
the defeat of Senator Thomas p.

change in ratio which gives the
committee two additional Demo
Gratis and cuts the Republican
ratio by one.
Senator H. Styles Bridges (R0

yesterday by Senator Charles Nc

leader, to fill out the Republican

SOUGHT INWAR
ON NARCOTICS

Aid of national anti-narcotic
organizations is being sought by
the Government in helping to
stamp out the dope traffic mas
ter minds" and gang leaders, the
Treasury revealed yesterday.
Urging the organization to use
their influence to get State legls-
latures to pass uniform anti-nar-
cotic laws, the Treasury yester-
day distributed its appeal, saying
"The drug traffic master
minds whose interests natur-
ally include other Illicit mer-
chandiSe, operate with extreme
caution through agents who in
turn sell to dealers.
"TheSe dealers in turn may
pass the cOntraband merchan-
disc along to runners or street
peddlers.
"The number of hands through
which un.tax-paid narcotics
must pass and the general COM
plexity of the Illicit distribution
system make apprehension of
the leaders difficult.
Small dealers are nOtOriOuSly
clever in protecting their
sources of illicit supply. The
large distributors names are
rarely revealed.

ers then that the Federal Gov
ernment concentrates its In
veStigative efforts"

gtitutes the Governments prin-

NAVY Yard Worker
Once RaiIrOader

Like many another former and
present employees of the Washing
ton Navy Yard, ]. j. Sullivan
spent years at railroading before
he joined the force at the giant
shops here.
Born in MartinSburg, w. Va, in
1869, Sullivan gained his appren-
ticeship as a machinist in the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad shops at
Martinsburg, entering the plant
in 1885.
From there he served with the
Norfolk and Western railroad, re
turned to the B. and o., and finally
worked at the Southern Railway
shops in Alexandria, Va, before he
came to the Navy Yard in 1900.
His first employment at the
foot of Eighth St. S. E., was as a
machiniSt in the west gun carriage
shop. Then for ten years he
served in the cartridge case shop,
ending his career at the Navy Yard
in the erecting shop in 1922.
Still his years of active service
were not finished, since he was
transferred to the Post Office
Department, where he was an
engineer for 10 years, engaged in
the repair of pumps and engines.
When it became possible for him
to retire from active Government
service in 1882 at the age of 81,
his SuperiorS asked him to remain
until he was IS because they had
difficulty finding an able man for
his place.
Sullivan now lives at 1920 E st.
S. E., where he has resided for 27
years. With him are his wife and
one of his four daughters.
