DC. Police Get Permit
For 8 Sending Sets
In Radio Scout Cars
Dote Not Yet Determined
For Putting in 2-Woy
Communication
Wide World Photo.

The Washington Police Depart
ment today was granted a construc-
ton permit for eight radio sending
units in police cars. The permit,
granted by the Federal Commune
cations Commission. authorizes the
department to install units operating
on a frequently of 1920 kilocycles
with 5 watts power each.
Maj. Ernest w. Brown. superin-
tendent Of police, said that 1t could
not be determined at this time Just
when the sets will be placed in serv-
ice. The local police have had a
test car for two-way communication
between the car and the local
police radio station for about two
years. and the police have been
experimenting with a set constructed
by their own personnel.
At this time it is not known
whether the new sets will be police
constructed sets or apparatus to be
acquired from commercial firms.
After the sets are installed in the
cars, the Police Department is ex-
pected to apply for an operating
license from the Federal Commits
sion.
When these automobile sending
sets are placed in commission, it
will permit the department to keep
in constant two-way communica-
ports progressively as they engage
in police work in the territory as
signed them.

Shotgun Bandit
Robs Liquor Store

The bandit who intimidates his
victims with a sawed-of shotgun
committed his fourth robbery in a
month last night when he held up
liquor store at 1888 North Capitol
street and escaped with $108.
Hyman Minkod was alone in the
front of the store when the bandit,
short, heavily-built man of about
30, entered and asked for a bottle
of whiskey. AS Mr.. Minkof turned
his back to fill the order, the robber
produced his short gun from beneath
his overcoat.
In an adjoining room, Mrs. Mink
off did not know a robbery was in
progress until Mr.. Minkoff was or
dered into the rear of the store
after the bandit took 500 from the
cash register and So from the deal
er's person.
The bandit previously had oper-
ated in the Northwest section, prey
ing mostly on liquor stores. Police
said the barrel of his gun has been
cut off and the stock trimmed down
to pistol grip"
In the past the man carried his
gun in paper bag. Detectives be-
lieved he commits robberies only
as his need for money arises.
Two colored men in overalls last
night strong armed" Fred Ellis OF
l02 Massachusetts, avenue NV. as
he was walking in the 200 block of
Third street S.W., and made of
with $40.
Mr.. Ellis said the robbery occurred
about $3.50 o'clock. He told police
he surrendered his money after he
felt what seemed to be gun pressed
against his back.

Hazen Cites SHIPPER Case
In Urging Police Merger

Merger of the Metropolitan and
Park Police forces was urged today
by Commissioner Melvin G. HaZen
as a result of experiences with the
"sniper" bandit.
Reiterating his belief that greater
efficiency would result from merger
of the two forces, Mr.. Hazen urged
an increase of from 200 to 300 in
the number of uniformed police in
the District.
The activities of the "sniper" gave
additional demonstration of the
need of a larger police force. Mr..
Hazen said. He voiced the opinion
that the "sniper" would have been
caught had the District had a larger
force of police The Commissioners
are understood to have asked for an
increase of so police in their 1910
estimates, now before the Budget
Bureau
Mr.. Hazen did not blame the
Metropolitan Park or suburban po-
lice for not having caught the
"sniper" bandit during his recent ac-
tivities, but insisted it was absurd"
to have divided jurisdiction within
the District and said this division

fronted with that enduring Christ
mas legend, Santa Claus.

youngsters will find a bearded, red
clad old gentleman to whom they
may offer their requests. The en-
ploying executives would rather sift
out candidates for 20 selling jobs
than undertake the hiring of one
Santa. however.
Santa Clauses do not have union.
They do not have even a chowder-
and-marching society, nor do they
wear their costumes after hours
They may show up when needed, or
may not. All in all, Santa Clauses
prefer not to recognize accepted
business methods. and make person.
mel managers quite unhappy.
Old Order Passeth.
Times have changed in the Santa
Claus business. Several years ago
a group of elderly men of long
experience in portraying the jolly
fellow filled most of the positions
in the large downtown depart
ment stores. The stores often did
not know what they did between
engagements. but they could be
counted upon to show up as the
toy departments were being readied.

Delinquency Limited
In Curtoilinq Licenses

Renewal or transfer Of liquor Ii
censes may not be denied merely be-
cause a retail dealer has become de-
linquent in his payments to whole
salers or manufacturers, and has
been placed on a cash basis. the Dis
trict Commissioners decided yester-
day in approving an opinion by
Corporation Counsel Elwood H. Seal.
Mr.. Seal held that the A. B. C..
Board could deny a renewal or
transfer of a license only when a
licensee had violated the extension
of reasonable credit rule, and
bought on credit when he had been
placed on a cash basis.
The present regulation provides
that supplies ordered during one
month by a retailer must be paid
for before the 18th of the next
month. The A. B. c. Board now is
considering a change intended to
remove the board from what it
deems the improper practice of act
ing indirectly as collection
agency" for wholesalers and manu-
facturers.

Negotiations to Settle
Strike Will Resume
On Monday
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-Sales were
resumed for a brief period at the
Chicago stockyards today under an
agreement with striking C. I. O..
handlers.
Approximately 1000 animals,
stranded in the pens during the
stalemate, were led to the weighing
chutes.
The temporary truce covered trad
ing in these cattle, hogs and sheep
only. 1t was arranged to allow COM
mission men to clear the corrals.
Meanwhile, some 10000 head Of
livestock were received at the yards,
but most of them we're sent directly
to packing houses.
Neither side moved to settle the
dispute-now in its 10th day-pend-
ing a resumption of negotiations
next Monday.
Prospects of an early settlement
faded after yesterdays day-long
conference failed to break the dead
lock.
c. I. o. livestock handlers who
quit work November 21, have sought
a heck-of, written contract, and
a closed shop, among other conces-
sions. from the Union Stock Yards
and Transit Co.
+ Embargo Suggested.
Martin Durkin, State conciliator
said the handlers representatives
asked for another conference today
or tomorrow, but that O. T. Henkle,
general manager of the yards, had
found it impossible to renew peace
negotiations until Monday.
The exchange board of directors
renewed an appeal to farmers,
stock men and shippers to halt all
shipments until the dispute has
been settled. Because some live
stock has arrived despite previous
appeals, the directors declared it was
advisable Ito negotiate for an en-
barge on all livestock coming to this
market" Charles r. Rice, exchange
president, said railroads could de-
clare such an embargo at any time.
Sympathy Strike Threat Seen.
This development followed a move
by union leaders to ascertain the ex-
tent of livestock diversion from Chi
cago to other meat-producing CEN
ters. Don Harris, a strike leader,
said all local units of the Packing
House Workers Organizing Com
mittee had been asked to report the
receipt of livestock from Chicago.
Mr.. Harris declined to explain the
significance of his action. Some
observers interpreted 1t as a possible
threat OF Nationwide sympathy
strike of livestock handlers and
packing house workers. The posi-
bility Of strike among C. I. O.
workers in Chicago packing plants
was voiced previously by other union
chieftains.
