Because advertising created a

EXPLAINS TERM
A pineapple" Major Brown ex-
planned, is in underworld par
lance, a vice underlord.
AS the new squad received its
orders, Major Brown vehemently
denounced weaknesses in the Dis
trict's present vagrancy law and
said he would appeal to Corpora
ton Counsel Elwood Seal late to-
day to draft a new law with teeth
in it.
Until new and more drastic
law is drafted, Major Brown said
a large part of the new squads ef.
forts will be concentrated upon
harassing police characters so con-
tinuously they will leave the city.
SUCCINCT ORDER
EITHER arrest them or make
them leave town." was the terse
command given the detective bu-
reau'S shock troops when they Left
headquarters this morning.
Detective7Sergeant Joseph Shi-
mon was named commander of
the new squad with the rank of
acting lieutenant. Other squad
members are Detective1Sergeants
Frank Brass, Harry Britton and j.
K. Baker and Precinct Detectives
E. E. F'redette, H. H. Carper, w.
G. Fawcett and Dewey L. Guest.
Stressing the need for a new
vagrancy law, Major Brown point
ed out that last week in Police
Court a notorious police character,
picked up in a recent roundup of
suspects, was freed. The man was
found in a dope joint" Major
Brown said, and he had long
record as robber and thief. Yet
Judge John P. Mcmahon ruled he
could not be held on a vagrancy
charge under the present law.
PLANNED 10 DAYS
Major Brown said formation of
the special squad was not inspired
by Congressional criticism pro-
voked last week when Representa-
tive William Schultz CD of In
diana was held up and robbed.
He had been planning the squad
for 10 days before the Schultz
robbery, the police chief asserted.
AS the "shock troops" moved
into action today, Washington
and Maryland police were concen.
trating on a search for a bandit
who escaped under gunfire early
yesterday after a District liquor
dealer who had been kidnapped
and robbed of $50 attracted the
