CHANGE IS SEEN
IN TRIAL BOARD
Commissioner Hazen Says
Seal Set.up May Be
Ordered Soon.

A change in the constituency Of the
Police Trial Board probably will be
ordered soon, Commissioner Melvin c.
Hazen announced today. The change
may be ordered in time to affect the
case Of the two policemen who are
to be tried in connection with the
shooting Of Leroy Keys. crazed colored
World War veteran. who was killed
while resisting arrest.
Commissioner Hazen said final ac-
ton would be withheld until the re-
turn to the city OF Police Supt E. w.
Brown, but that the Commissioners
had accepted. in general. the recon-
mendations Of Corporation Counsel
Elwood H. Seal for change in the
Trial Board makeup.
The Trial Board now is constituted
OF three police officials. Mr.. Seal
recommended that it be changed to
consist of one police official, one as
sistant corporation counsel and one
Assistant Engineer Commissioner. This
is similar to the makeup of the Fire
Trial Board
There is some question in the minds
OF the Commissioners, Mr.. Hazen said
as to whether an Assistant Engineer
Commissioner could be spared from
his other duties sufficiently to devote
proper amount of time to Police Trial
Board work. Hence. the Commission
ers may designate some other District
official. possibly Ray L. Huff. general
superintendent Of penal institutions,
as the third member of the board
The two policemen who have been
ordered to trial in the Keys case are
Pvts. John Nally and r. N Henry.
Their hearing is supposed to begin
September l3, but it was suggested
today that If the Commissioners order
change in the makeup of the Trial
Board, the case might be delayed long
enough to bring them before the re-
vamped group. The two officers are
to be tried on charge Of unauthorized
use of their weapons.

MILES SHOOTING
HOLDS NEIGHBOR
Paul Stromberg Freed on Bond
After Telling Of Accidental
Shot.

Paul Stromberg sheet metal worker
was released last night under $500
bond by Montgomery County police
after Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton ballistics test showed that the
bullet which killed Milton Miles. 29-
year-old Fairland (Md.) farmer, was
fired from Stromberg's rifle as he was
attempting to break" rabbit dog
Of un-shyness
Stromberg. who lives short dis
tance from the Miles home, had gone
to county police headquarters earlier
yesterday when he learned that his
neighbor had been fatally shot and
told Investigating officers the bullet
which killed the farmer might have
come from his gun.
The barrel scratches on the fatal
bullet were found by the F. B. I. to
be the same as markings on bullets
fired from rife of Stromberg, police
said, and the man was booked on a
technical charge of manslaughter.
Officers said today the case prob
ably would 60 directly to the grand
jury.
Two friends of Mr.. Miles found him
fatally wounded in a turnip patch
late Sunday when they came to pay
him visit. A bullet had entered his
right chest below the arm and gone
through his lungs to lodge below the
heart
Stromberg's home is approximately
300 yards from the field where the
body was found. He works at 923
v street NV.

Has Perfect Mine,
But There Isn't Any Coal

posts are used; haulage ways are laid
on metal rails.
The miners themselves carry out to
the letter all safety regulations.
They wear safety hats-metal head
pieces resembling trench helmets-to
prevent injury from falling chunks Of
coal or slate; metal toed shoes to pfe-
vent foot injuries.
But the Smithsonian isn't satisfied
with even this display of coal mining,
where Ito tell the truth) there isn't
10 kopecks' worth of coal.
Can't Pay for Machines.
We've been trying for months to
get an undertaking machine and a
locomotive" said Frank A. Taylor,
curator Of the section including the
mine.
But our trouble is that we can't
pay for the machines Almost every
thin gelse We need has been donated
by mine equipment companies. by coal
operators or by individual miners.
And they should be machines that
have seen some use A shiny new
one wouldn't look right. That's one
OF the difficulties. Mine equipment
companies probably would be willing
to put = machine in the mine, but
they'd rather have their newest piece
Of equipment"
When the equipment is obtained the
model mine will be completed The
miners - life-size models - will be
equipped with all modern safety de-
vices. A power truck will be in
stalled to show methods of bringing
power to the passageways far beneath
the ground-Washington's mine will
begin operations II any coal should
appear.

tions in effect around all Fairgrounds

Ninth streets NV, be put In use over
the entire city.

dren's safety when double parking.
The points dealing with Fairgrounds
were:

reorganized so as to get the maximum
benefit from facilities now available.
The subcommittee felt that sufficient
grounds and equipment are available.
but that the system should be made
more efficient with year-round service
within possible resources.
2. That all citizens associations and
parent teacher associations be asked
to send out a letter each year not
later than May 10, bringing to the
attention Of their members the i'm
portance Of establishing backyard
Fairgrounds on private property not
being used.

stone Automobile Club, chairman; Mrs.
Walter B. Fry. president Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia Parent-Teachers'
