Latest Proposal Would
Only Add to Expense,
Citizens Feel

Opposition to the reorganization
plan as submitted by the District
Commissioners and any other form
of reorganization of the District
government that does not include
local suffrage was voiced last night
in a resolution presented by William
Olsen, chairman of the Streets and
Sidewalks Committee, to the Chill
lum Heights Citizens Association,
meeting in the Keene School.
M. F. Finan. chairman OF the
Schools Committee. said that the
Kitchen cabinet form of govern
ment would not benefit the District
of Columbia in any major way, but
would only add to the expenses, with
more officials to be paid"
In motion presented by Mr.
Finan the association went on record
as opposing any increase in the gas
and fuel oil tax in the District. A
motion urging that a District man
be appointed to the District Court
bench was passed unanimously. !.

proposed school for the deaf,
blind and crippled children of WASH
ington was referred to the School
Committee to be acted on at the

The sirth of series of articles
Gnalysing details OF the report
made by tuo experts after study
of the National Capital Parks.
Another Uill appear tomorrow.
The Wagner-Sauers park report
turns cold water on the repeated
proposals to merge the National
Capital Park Police with the Met
ropolitan Police Department and in
this respect, at least, is in accord
with the known views Of Secretary
of the Interior Ickes, who has long
and vigorously opposed merging OF
the two forces.
Instead, it makes a recommenda-
ton that no doubt will create as
sharp an issue, if pressed, as the
old merger scheme.
Restore to the National Capital
Park Police it's original function
pertaining solely to park protec-
tion," the recommendation said in
effect, transferring full authority
for the safety of travellers on the
parkways and all traffic duties to
the Metropolitan Police, where such
matters rightfully belong" Rules
and regulations, it was suggested,
should remain with the National
Capital Parks.
The reason given is that park pro-
lection has been minimized and
traffic duty stressed out OF their
actual Importance.
Distinctive Type Of Protection.
"A separate park police force is
justified by the fact that parks and
their users require distinctive
type of protection" the report COM
mented. THE closest parallel be-
tween parks and other public func-
tions which require protection by
special police is found in the field OF
forestry. In all national, State and
community forests, policing is best
done by rangers who are trained
and fitted for the special duties of
these services. These rangers in the
forests do enforce laws and regula-
tions which for the most part in
volve the use of public property by
people, and they perform many tasks
which are genuinely constructive
rather than merely protective.
This is also true of the most efec-
tive municipal, county, metropoli-
tan, and State park police forces.
Study of the Police Division Of
the National Capital Parks, by ex-
animation of its records Of arrests
and prosecutions, by observation OF
the activities of the working force,
and by interviewing members of that
organization indicates that the in
terests of people using the parks
and the parks themselves have been
neglected in favor of the motorist
and the motor vehicle. Traffic duty
predominates. Study of reports and
files, and of written and oral justi-
flcation of the National Capital
Park Police, disclose that park pro-
lection has been minimized and
traffic duty stressed out of their &C.
tual Importance. =,
Less Traffic Work Seen Need.
These distortions will inevitably
lead to a crisis in which it will be-
come necessary to reverse the stated
policy of the National Capital
Parks with reference to a separate
park police force. We can con.
ceive Of only one solution tor tn
