A D.C.POL|CEMEN
ATTEND CLASSES
Traffic School Is Held to
Equip Men to Carry Out
Safety Work.

There wasn't a shiny apple in the
crowd when Al intently serious Metro
politan policemen attended the OPEN
ing class in the annual police traflc
school conducted by 1t. Walter T.
Storm at police headquarters today.
Maj. Ernest w. Brown, Inspector l..
I. H. Edwards and Inspector Benja- =
min Lamb addressed the assembled
students of traffic investigation and
enforcement at the first lecture at 10
am, following period of general
instruction by 1t. Storm.
Maj. Brown outlined briefly the in
tansive week-long course to be pre-.
sented, and urged that each officer
give his careful attention and consid.
GRAFTON to the topics scheduled in order
to carry out the departments program
Of traffic safety.
He told the men they would be
required to stand their regular tours
OF duty prior to the opening class at
$50 am. and following the close of
the school day at pm. because they
could not be spared during the rush
hours.
Problems Of Control.
Inspector Lamb named engineering,
education and enforcement as the
three elements applying to adequate
traf1c control. Education Of the peo-
pie to become traffic and safety con-
scious, he said. would be possible with
enforcement Of the regulations by the
officers.
Glasses scheduled each day include
lectures by members of the depart.
ment as we'll as discussions conducted

Red Cross: Richard Ham, American n
Automobile Associations; George E.

O'Dea and ]. Francis Reilly.
1t. Storm said the subject of pe-
destrlan control. as means of pro-
vlding greater traffic safety, probably
would be discussed during the week.
although present local regulations
make no provisions for such control.

quired to keep a notebook, which is
graded at the end OF the course. Fol-
lowing examinations, each officer will

Lost Camera to Young Soldier

An expensive camera that q young
Army War College soldier lost and had

was back in his possession today due

The soldier. Pat Mirabella, lost the

streets. while he made a purchase.
He forgot it when he left. and c. H

to locate the owner, then turned the
camera over to the Photographic De-

sent the soldier to claim his property.
Incidentally, the picture was Of Rus

Indianapolis may give a 10000 lead
to the Democrats. The trend away
from the Democratic New Deal, how
ever, may result in the Republicans
picking up seat, or a few seats, in
the House Of Representatives now held
by Democrats.
At present the Republicans have
just ! out of the IL members Of the
House from Indiana, Representative
Halleck of the I'd district. They hope
to re-elect Mr.. Halleck. In addition
they say they have chances of victory
in the Sd, 4th, 5th and 10th districts,
and some chance In the 9Th. Demo-
cratic leaders say this is all bosh,
that the only district they might lose
Is the 4th, represented by James I.
Farley. The Democrats do not even
concede the Republicans a chance to
win in the 10th district, where Ray
mond S. Springer, twice a candidate
for Governor, is seeking to unseat
Representative Finly H. Gray, vet
eran Democrat. Springer failed to
carry the district either time he ran
for Governor.
G. o. P. Chances Fading.
At one time there appeared to be q
real chance for the Democrats to lose
and the Republicans to pick up a
handful Of House seats, but the chances
do not look so bright today. The Re-
publicans, according to impartial OBJ
servers, may gain one House seat, or
they may continue to hold just the
one they now have. Indeed, Mr.. Hal
leck Is having far more Of . fight on
his hands today than had been ex-
pected. The I'd district contains many
conservative Republicans who do not
like the Endorsement which Mr. Halleck
has had at the hands of the Town
send old-age pension group.
For the old-age pension issue has
been injected into the Indiana cam
paign, just as 1t has in other States,
with the Townsendites taking the side
OF the Republicans. They have in
dorsed. indeed, Mr.. Willis, the G. o. P.
nominee for Senator.
Mr.. Willis is an admirable citizen,
even the Democrats admit. His big
handicaps lie in the fact he is not
widely known to the electorate, that
he has not the graces Of an orator and
that he has the reputation of being a
hide-bound conservative. The Re-
publicans have had to start from
scratch to build him up. They have
stressed his integrity and common
sense. Mr.. Willis himself has stepped
out as a defender Of labor and of old
age pensions.
Unfortunately for Mr.. Willis, the
Democrats have dug through past files
Of his newspaper, the Steuben County
Republican, to produce articles de-
nouncing the Townsend old-age pen.
sion planners as impractical and in
sane. They have gone into his record
as member Of the State LEGISLATURE
to show that he voted against bills
which were supported by organized
labor.
