Today If They Don't Miss Boot

Even after curtailing their activi-
ties they missed seeing Yellowstone
Park and the movie studios of Holly
wood, two things they mentioned spe-
cifically when they arrived Febru-
ary %.
They dutifully visited the Albanian
communities Of New York, Philadel.
phia and Boston, Girl Scout head
quarters here, several welfare centers
and Albanian churches, usually leav-
ing a contribution at each one.
They viewed New York from the
towers Of Rockefeller Center at night
It's like fairyland," they remarked,
Mr.. Konitza said-and from the En-
pire State Building by day and en-
1oyed AL Smiths "good-natured in
formality."
In Boston they visited Bishop Fan
Nol, one Of the political refugees In
the large Albanian colony there, and
assured him he was welcome to return
home.
Their last few days here were spent
shopping. They bought gifts for their
friends, and shoes new trunks
full Of them-and sports clothes for
themselves. Their gowns as brides
maids to Countess Geraldine Apponyi,
King zog's fiancee, will be purchased
in Paris. -
All Of the things they left undone
remain for another trip. They hope
to return for the 1899 New York

probation decisions" the report
charges. saf,4a aaras
On July l, 1887, it states, there were
six District Court probation officers to
handle 800 probationers. and clerical
work took up the full time of four of
these officers.
by accepted probation standards,
no caseworker should carry load OF
more than so unless the bulk of the
work consists of making collections, -
the report said.
A similar situation exists at the Pc-
lice Court. 1t was said. while at the
Juvenile Court, on June 80. 1887, there
were 1852 defendants on probation
IN the adult division-an average OF
BIG for each of the four probation Of
flcers.
Personnel Praised.
The study declares the District Is
fortunate in having on its Parole
Board men Of outstanding qualifica-
tions and high standing in the COM
munity. The difficulty Of finding en-
ployment for paroled prisoners is one
OF the most serious problems confront
ing the board, the report adds, "for
although the officers do their best to
find jobs for the men, the stan is toe
small to place all those who are other
wise ready to be paroled." Men who
60 out on conditional release are in
terviewed by the parole staff, but they
have to try to find jobs for themselves,
1t was said.
The staff. which is appointed by the
board, but is on the institutional pay
roll, includes parode executive, three
field officers and two stenographers
Last June 30 the report says, this

with his knife and stick and I struck
him with small knife l used in my
work"

DATA ON SHOOTING

Evidence in Case,
Pending Inquiry.

Arlington County authorities today
kept secret details Of evidence which
they will present tomorrow at Police
Court inquiry into the fatal shooting

More than a dozen witnesses are ex-
pected to give conflicting versions Of
events leading up to the Staying early
Sunday, when the Falls Church Of
f1cers said they fired on Mr.. Daugher-
tvs automobile as he attempted to run
them down after they had chased him
miles.
One Of the reports conflicting with
the policemen's account of the affair
indicated Mr.. Daugherty had an argu-
ment with an unidentified man and
was pursued away from his father-in-
laws home in Falls Church by q po-
liceman's car more than an hour be-
fore the shooting in Cherrydale
The Officers involved. Edwin Scheid
and Herbert Knox, were at liberty un-
der $4,000 bond each pending the pre-
liminary hearing in Arlington Police
Court at 10 am. tomorrow.
Six Shots Fired.
They told Mayor L. p Daniel of Falls

shots and Ot1cer Knox one shot at the
tires Of Mr.. Daugherty's automobile.
One of the bullets entered the back of
the 31-year-old musicians head, and
he died Shortly afterward in George
town Hospital.
Arlington County authorities re-
fused to divulge. pending the hearing
tomorrow, the results of ballistic tests
made to determine which gun fired
the fatal bullet because of high
feeling in the community.
1t. John Fowler, ballistic expert of
the Metropolitan Police Department,
reported results of the tests to Airing
ton County officers yesterday.
Commonwealth Attorney Lawrence
Douglas said he feared 1t might
prejudice the case to make public re-
suits of the tests and details of other
evidence before the hearing.
Mayor Ignores Petition.
Meanwhile. Mayor Daniel did not
take ofilcial cognizance of a petition
being circulated in Falls Church de-
manding his removal and replacement

Districts Probation Service
Understaffed, Surrey Finds
Un'cilli,gness to Pay for additional
Personnel to Do First.Class Job
Blamed il, Report.

The District has not been willing to
pay for enough personnel to obtain
first-class probation and parole service,
according to the Prison Industries Re-
organization Administrators ex-
haustive survey of Washington,s prison
problem, the third section of which
was made public today.
Emphasizing that well-administered
probation and parole are indispensable
parts of any modern correctional sys-
tenn and that strict supervision on
probation or parole Is anything but
clemency. the reports asserts:
Probation serves to keep out of
prison offenders who can safely be re-
tained in the community. Parole, on
the other hand. affords a means OF
transition from the unnatural restric-
tions Of prison life to the free life of
the community-a method of keeping
released prisoners under close super
vision until they have had . chance to
adjust themselves and have demon
strated their ability to keep out Of
trouble"
The survey points out that the Dis
trict Court, which handles all felonies,
uses probation in about third of its
cases; unlike United States Courts
elsewhere, 1t is not permitted to grant
probation In cases Of treason, homi-
eide, criminal assault, arson or kid
naping. Probation also is used to q
considerable extent in the adult divi-
sion of the juvenile Court, which ham
dies non-support cases.
Departments Held Understaffed.
In the Police Court, where the vol
ume Of misdemeanant cases is enor-
nous and offenses are quickly settled
by fines and short terms, probation is
used proportionately less, the report
continues.
Each court has its own probation
department and all three Of the de-
partments are SO understaffed that
they cannot possibly give their cases

1t authorized Senator Connally, Demo-
crat, of Texas to offer as an amend
ment his bill to increase taxes auto
matically in the event of war and
permit the Government to take over
industrial establishments for war pur-
poses.

vision bill, Mr.. Magill asserted that
"the overlapping Of State and Federal
taxes is increasing, and needs thor
ough study and prompt solution"
His conference proposal followed a
statement by Gov. Lehman of New

Gov. Lehman wrote the committee
that "the extent to which the Federal
Government has and Is ignoring the
rights of the States in the income and

monopolizing these fields to the ex-
clusion OF the States is truly alarming"
The committee will hold a closed

Attorney General 70 investigate all
acts Of violence and Immediately re-
port the facts to the Chief Executive,
Congress and the newspapers.
