Police Rush Survey

BY WILLIAM C. RING

While Washington's traffic mon
ster today claimed its fifty-eighth
victim Of the year, the Metropoli-
tan Police Department swung into
action with a comprehensive cam
paign to prevent further slaugh-
ter of children on city streets.
Maj. Ernest w. Brown, superin-
tendent of police, called upon the
commanding officers of all pre-
cincts to make survey Of streets
which may be roped off against
traffic to provide children a safe
refuge. for play.
Safety Areas Mapped
The precinct commanders were
told to compile their reports
speedily, paying particular atten-
ton to streets where the roped
areas would least interfere with
traffic movement. Major Browns
order read:
I'm the program Of this de-
partment for affording protec-
ton and safety to children at
play, you will make a survey OF
your precincts where there are
insufficient Fairgrounds to take
care of the children and deter
mine by your survey if any OF
the streets in your precincts
could be closed and utilized as
play streets.
I'm making this survey, you
will give consideration first. to
streets that carry very light traf-
fic, where the closing of these
streets for a temporary period
would not interfere with vehicu-
lar traffic; and, second, where
the closing of these streets
would not cause annoyance or
interference to residents or bust
nesses on these streets.
This report to be submitted
to headquarters at the earliest
possible date"

CRUMP VOTES
DEFEAT BERRY.
AND BROWNING
Primary Swept by
f. Memphis Boss =

EMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. S
GN.SO. - United States Senator
George L. Berry was elbowed into
the political wastebasket today by
a victorious slate Of candidates
carrying the banner of Edward H.
Crump, veteran boss" of Mem
phis.
Crump engineered a clean sweep
in yesterdays primary when an
other candidate on his ticket de.
feated Gov. Gordon Browning,
making a bid for denomination.
The double-edged victory not
only increased the scope Of
Crumps power to statewide pro-
portions but will give him an i'm
portant voice in Washington as
well.
Berry Well Beaten
The vote from 2,136 precincts
Of 2,271 in the State gave for U. S.
senator:
Tom Stewart, Crump candidate

Berry-74,863.

ell-53,640.
For governor:
Prentice Cooper-169, 806.
Browning-127,053.
Roy Wallace, who withdrew on
the eve of the election, received
slightly more than 1000 votes.
Cooper, sponsored by Crump
emerged an easier victor than had
been expected. 1t was previously
predicted that his main strength
lay in Memphis, while Browning
would poll large majority in the
rural areas and in Knoxville and
Nashville. Both predictions fell
flat as Cooper's intensive cam
paign outside of his own bailiWick
paid heavy dividends.
Senators in Feud
While the fight against Brown
ing was mainly a personal affair
with Crump, Berry had incurred
the opposition also of his fellow
Senator, Kenneth D. Mcclellan,
who came out for Stewart. The
wealthy labor leader was also said
to have lost popularity by his at

Bench and Stool
Used as Weapons

When that didn't do any good
he wadded up q wet towel and let
fly with it and caught Colyer on
the puss. Colyer picked up stool
and went for him. AL picked up
o bench and ran to meet Colyer.
Colyer got in the first punch,
but Al brushed it off and hung
a right on Colyer'S eye. 1t sent
him staggering backward about
10 feet and dropped him in a pile
Of tools.
Any way you figure it, Capone
won that one. But that didn't
make him any champ. Colyer,
who weighs about 1926, has had
two dozen fights I know Of, and
never won one.
Then there was that famous
Gquabble AL had with Jimmy Lu.

as a 10-year-old schoolgirl. That
beef has been used to build Lucas

stopped it.
Capone has been mixed up in a
half-dozen other squabbles, none
of which amounted to much except
the time Silent Jim Ryan tried to
bump him off in the hospital.
I'll tell you about that later.
Besides mixing in his own
fights, AL was always butting into
somebody elSe'S. Once, in the
library, he slapped Floyd Collins,
postoffice robber, for spiting in
an old mans face. In the band
room, he separated Harmon VALLEY,
Tacoma kidnaper, and Earl Con-
roy, another post-office prowler.
Valley was taking a beating; he
hasn't won a fight yet. In the
hospital. Capone waded into a
gang-fight and tried to stop it,
but caught a stray punch and
then joined in himself.
Why he was always roofing into
these things I don't know. Maybe
he was trying to build himself up
as a peacemaker, or maybe he was
really trying to keep mugs out of
the hole or-and this seems the
best guess-maybe he was just
following his big-Shot complex and
showing those mugs that when he
wanted 'em to stop fighting they
were going to stop fighting.
That's what got him run off the
prison ball team. He used to strut
around and boss the cons and try
to run the ball game until they
just asked him to play something
else. 1t also got him run off the
prison band; he insisted on play
ing louder than anybody else. y
When he was first transferred
to the Rock in '34, he was all set
to be its Santa Claus. He wanted
to order a carload of tobacco, and
buy everybody q radio, and fur
nish instruments for q complete
band and he had the nerve to
bust up to the warden with the
plan. The Old Man turned him
down cold-except that he allowed

Scarface So Mad

But he was in the center cell
block, where the non-strikers
stayed, and they were in the 1sola-

were cooled off. He couldn't see
them, and they disguised their
voices so he couldn't recognize
them. He didn't know who was
giving him the cuSSing.
He was so mad he foamed at
the mouth, and without knowing
who he was putting on the spot,
kept screaming a wish that he
had them on Chicago's west side.
In his own mind, he rubbed out
Q hundred men during those four
days.
The funny part Of it was that
his imaginary massacre took in
at least dozen of his own hench-
men. Among those who cuSsed
him the loudest and longest were
q lot of hyenaS who used to follow
him around hoping he'd drop

that he was no phoney when it

weighs-or did before he made
the hospital-about 225 pounds.
And it was all man.
There was nothing yellow about
Capone in fight.
He showed that a dozen times.
In his first beef on the rock, he
tangled with Bill Colyer, an Army
liter who had bumped off a man
in France. They were working
in the laundry, Colyer feeding
clothes into a mangle and Capone
folding at the other end. Al told
Colyer a time or two that he was

On the Rock they call him
Phoney Caponey. But not to
his face.
They hung the "phoney" on
him and made Capone rhyme
with it during the 1886 strike.
That was because he wouldn't
come in. Maybe he stayed out
because he couldn't see where
it would get him anything.
More likely, he hung back be-
cause the strike wasn't his idea
and because he wasn't running
it: if he couldn't be the big
shot, he didn't want any part
of it.
So because he was out Of It,
those in on it gave him loud
mouthing that went on for four
days and nights. They called
him "phoney" and "greaseball"
and every kind of rat and cat and
stool pigeon they could figure
out. They meowed at him and
offered to give him his milk. They
told him he was yellow as a
