II ERE'S MORE ABOUT
POLICE DEPARTMENT
STARTS ON PAGE ONE

since Eastwood became commits
sioner In June.
Gardncr's testimony covered
much historical data on how vari-
Gus special divisions of the de-
partment have been developed and
conducted in the past.
Asked If he thought more de-
tectivcs were needed he expressed
himself In no uncertain terms as
to the need of moro competent,
experienced investigational Off
GERS.
ut is certainly out of balance
now" he said.
Testimony throughout Tuesdays
hearing disclosed that what the
Eastwood plan has done is to re-
move experienced detectives from
detective work to jobs as mere pa
troimen while favored patrolmen
were placed in positions long con-
Quoted by men of detective rank.
Former Chiefs Testify
Witnesses at the afternoon ses-
sion before the board included
former Chiefs NJ. ID. Guy and Har-
old Bird whose administrations
extended from 1926 to 1888. Guy
testified he had served in the de-
partmcnt in all capacities from a
first-year patrolman. through the
grades of sergeant and detective to
eight years as chief. Bird testi-
fled he had served both as a fed
eral officer and as a deputy sher-
IF before becoming chief for four
years. Both men asserted the in
crease from Is to is detectives
effective in January 1928 had been
made necessary by the need OF an
adequate detective force.
On Sept. l. 1888, Eastwood cut
the detective squad in half, re-
ducing II from is to Q detectives,
the latter figure including de-
NOTED Capt. Tom Ross who since
has won in court his right TO cap
taincy. Meanwhile one of the de-
NOTED detectives, Walter Black
smith. was shown TO have con-
tnued in rank of patrolman du-
ties he had formerly performed in
the pawnshop detail as detective.
Need Stressed
Detective Capt. Cliff Osborne.
another department veteran. gave
testimony similar TO that of Gard
ner. Guy and Bird az to the need
of more detectives and like Gard
ner asserted certain investigs-
tional work was being neglected
because of lack of competent
help in this branch OF police
activity. Witnesses disclosed lack
of knowle ige of how other divi-
sions of the department are
functioning under the reorganizs-
ton.
Among witnesses heard during
the afternoon were Patrolmen
Marty Joyce and 2ill Cordell serv-
ing in the motor vehicle division
and performing invesIigstionsl
work connected with automobile
and motor accessory thefts. BY
their testimony and that Of others
II was shown that in both Seat
tie and Portland, the motor vehicle
division is a part Of the detective
branch. rather than OF the uni
formed branch of the service.

REAL TROUBLE
YET TO COME
End of Conflict in
Spain Prelude to
New Struggles
BY JOE ALIEN NORRIS
n arN4f


United Press Foreign News Editor
Europe's real troubles in Spaii
will begin when the civil war ends
For two and a half years tn
hills and plains and cities OF tn
Iberian peninsula have been blood
led by a war which has cost per
haps million lives and billions oi
dollars.
Now the armies of Rebel
Generalissimn Francisco Fran
co are stabbing with incrcas-
ing power at the dcfenses of
Loyalist Barcelona and--if 1t
il not the cnd--thc prospects
for an eventual insurgcnt vic
tory are taetically oyerwhcim-
ing.
When and If that victory Is
achieved. the new Spain will be
thrust by the surge Of information
al rivalries into a key position IN
still greater struggle that has
aligned Great Britain and France
against Italy and Germany in the
Mediterranean basin.
Struggle for Dominance
This struggle among the big
powers is for dominance OF some
OF the worlds most important
trade routes: for control of the
communication lines necessary 10
the existence of the British and
French empires.
The real struggle is In abey-
ance. awaiting determination of
whether the new Spain will stand
with the totalitarian states. look
to the democracies for aid or re-
turn to her traditional neutrality.
On the surface, II would appear
that a Franco victory would mean
a Fascist Spain aligned with Italy
and Germany. Italian Premier
Bcnito Mussolini, credited by some
with inspiring the insurgent move
ment. has a huge investment of
men, money and materials In rebel
Spain. He has informed the
world that he intends to keep on
until assured of Franco
victory.
Furthermore, Italy has
made the island Of Majorca In
the Balcarics n naval air base
adjacent to the main French
communications lines with her
North African possessions.
Many neutral observers CON
slider II unlikely that Musso-
lini would rclinquish this base
for any price Spain could pay.
Nazi Fuehrer Adolf Hitler also
has provided Franco with valuable
artillery, technical
assistance and aviation. Persist
ent reports from Spain tell of
German submarine bases con-
structed in the Canary islands,
within striking distance of the
transatlantic lines carrying food
to Britain, and of powerful Ger
man artillery emplacements near
the British guardian of
he entrance to the Mediterranean.
Toe In Spain's Door
In any event. the Nazi-Fasci'A
has its toe in the
Spanish door.
A fascist Spain allied with
Italy and Germany would sur
round France on three sides
and make the position Of the
dcmocracioj appear hopeless
In event Of war.
There are well-informed circles
in both Britain and France who
believe that is likely to happen
and for that reason have opposed
the governments of Prime Min
lister Neville Chamberlain and of
Premier Edouard Daladier. These
circles are most strongly repre-
scented by a minority bloc of
French deputies now seeking 10
France to aid the loyal
lists.
Time will tell whether SPANS
fratricidal conflict is only a cur
tain-raiser.

Janitors and Window Washers.

40 tne EDITOR OF The Star:
Is there no such thing as justice in
the District Of Columbia for janitors and
window washers?
I live on the seventh floor of a mod
ern apartment building and every spring
and every fall heavy awnings have to
be put up or taken down. This opera
ton requires the janitor to stand out
side the window, on a narrow sill, seven
stories above the street, and stretch on
tiptoe to reach the screws which hold
the awnings. While he Is stretching up
with one hand to attend to these screws,
he is holding the full weight of the
awning on his other arm, and there is
not a sign of safety catch or q safety
belt to give him protection. II he made
one step backward. or II the awning
slipped, there would be another tragedy
chalked up against the city, and the
janitor's family would be left to shift
for themselves as best they could. The
window-washer is In the same boat with
the janitor.
Two weeks ago a man was killed by a
fall while washing windows in an Office
building. What is being done for his
family7 And what are We, the citizens
OF washington, going to do to prevent
such terrible thing happening asainf

What storms of ice and sleet the heart

bill would raise the minimum to
$1,000 a year for beginning teachers
without q college degree, and $1,000
for those with a degree. The period
of biennial increments would be ex-
tended from eight to eighteen years
and the upper limit raised from
81, $50 to $1,000 for college educated
teachers. The scale for high school
teachers and principals would be
proportionately higher.
The present scale was established
in 1922. Teacher training require
ments, meanwhile, have increased
from two years normal school to
four-year college courses, entailing
additional expense and deferred
earning power. AS equal training
now is required, the State educa-
tional authorities want equal pay for
elementary and high school teachers.
