Memorial Fund
For ". R. Clements
Is Growing
More Than 800 Make
Donations Honoring
Metropolis View Man

Dimes and dollars from the citi-
zens of the Metropolis View COM
munity have sWelled the William r.
Clements Memorial Fund to more
than $3.50, Vincent P. Boudren,
president of the Metropolis View
Citizens Association, announced
yesterday.
The fund to erect a monument to
the late Pop" Clements, organizer
of EdgeWood Playground, was start
ed last month with a $50 contribu-
ton by the association. Since that
time, solicitation among the residents
of the community has been in charge
of a special committee headed by
Barton Margerum. More than 500
persons have contributed to the fund,
according to Mr.. Boudren.
Mr.. Boudren announced that the
special memorial committee had con-
tracted for 40-foot fagpole with
8-foot square base to be erected on
the EdgeWood Playground. There
still remains the formality of secur-
ing permission of the playground au-
thoritieS. but Mr.. Boudren antici-
pates no difficulty on that score, stat
ing that Miss Sibyl Baker, District
playground director, has "co-operat-
ed with us from the beginning"
Two cannon offered by the War
Department for the memorial-Mr.
Clements was disabled World War
veteran-had TO be declined by the
committee, Mr. Boudren said. The
list OF artillery pieces given the citi-
zens to choose from ranged from a
7,850-pound 236-inch long seacoast
gun to 6-inch trench mortar.
transportation of the cannon, relics
OF the War, from the Aberdeen Prov
ing Ground in Maryland was more
than the association could finance.
The memorial will have instead four
stacks of 20 cannon ball each at its
corners. Also at the base of the pole
Will be an inscribed tablet to the
man whose hobby for a decade was
to work among the boys of the COM
munity, organizing them into ball
clubs and experimenting without
charge the playground he founded.

Pittsburgh BACKGROUND

Seventy years ago the iron and
steel masters of Pittsburgh were
mostly Presbyterian Scotch-I Irish, q
hard working race, proud to possess
solid and spacious factory and to
live in an Insignificant house. No
one, no matter how old, ever thought
of retiring from business: there were
no men of leisure. they were in
different to pleasure, and Pitts
burgh businessman who dared pub
lish poem would soon find his
notes doubted at the bank.

ures independent of any connec-
ton with the general reorganiza-
ton program.
The change of plans is a dis
appointment to the groups which
have been waging a vigorous
campaign for the election of local
officers. They have regarded the
proposed reorganization of the
District government as especially
timely for the return to the long
abandoned practice of electing
local officers Of some kind. There
appeared to be a stra tegetic ad-
vantage in having an elected
council included as one of the
features of the new setup.
There are conceded to be many
ways in which the present District
government can be improved
without getting all that many of
the organized groups and indi-
vldual citizens want. There are
many who are familiar with the
1ullCtlonlng OF the District gov
ernment who are hopeful that no
controversial issues will be per-
mltted to interfere with the OBJ
tanning of maximum of i'm
provement.
Concessions have been made in
the case of the schools and
libraries and there are strong
reasons for continuing the Board
OF Public Welfare, Patrol Board.
Alley Dwelling Authority and
possibly other agencies as at
present constituted and function
ing. The Juvenile Court should
be left alone as well as the United
States district attorney, accord
ing to those familiar with the
business of these agencies.

A Parole Job That Would Be
A Model for the Entire Country

At the closing meeting for the
season OF the Council of Social
Agencies one of the most inter-
estlng of an array of fine reports
was that made by Frank r. Jel-
leH OF the Board of Indetermi-
nate Sentence and Parole. The
meeting was given over to the
Corrections Committee of the
council and was pronounced the
most interesting symposium of
the year.
Most of the reports showed that
conditions had made marked and
encouraging improvement during
the year. These covered condi-
tions in the penal institutions as
Evening star., 1939-05-21

well as the prompt prosecutions
of criminals, with the consequent
reduction in certain classes of
crime. 1t was shown that the
District is rapidly getting an un-
satisfactory reputation among
those who commit premeditated
crimes. Justice is becoming too
sure and prompt to please sucn
criminals and they are seeking
more favorable fields of opera
ton.
Mr.. Jelleff reported in absence
of the chairman of the Parole
Board, Wilbur La Roe. He was
unable to show the improvement
reported by other agencies 1ue
to the impossible conditions un-
der which this unsalaried citizen
board is compelled to work. There
is division of authority between
the board and the prisons in the
supervision of PAROLES and the
board is without adequate funds
with which to do an effective lob.
The board does not control its
own budget and is only allowed
$4,000 for its important work.
With an appropriation of about
$50, 900 Mr.. Jeleff stated the
board could perform a Job which
could be a model for the whole
country. AS an example of the
practical difficulties of the board
in the performance of its work
he told that no stenographer is
provided. This necessitates tie
use OF a prison inmate to take
down and keep records of the
important confidential informa-
ton developed in such cases. 1t
is practically impossible under
the circumstances to guard such
information from being circulat-
ed through the prison.
The Parole Board has OCCASION
ally drawn some rather caustic
criticism from the public, which
should have been aimed at the
system as provided by law and
the lack of the required funds.
instead the able public spirited
citizens who give so freely of
their time and talents. The pa
role problem IS an important one
from the standpoint of the res
toratlon to society of those who
can be returned with safety. 1t
is also important to the taxpay-
er from a financial standpoint.
Parolees who are ready for re-
turn to society and can be prop
erly supervised for the required
period by an adequate number
OF parole officers at cost to the
taxpayer far less than for main
tanning them in prison, and in
some cases carrying their fami-
lies on relief,
In the Council of Social Agen-
cles there is strong sentiment
favoring the continuance of the
Parole Board as an independent
agency instead of being merged
with the Board of Public We'll
fare, as provided in the Griffen-
hagen plan. The council also
supports the idea that the board
should have ample funds and be
relieved of the division of au-
thority.

Degree of Intoxication
Determined By Scientific Test.

Special attention has been called
recently to the large number of
motorvehlcle accidents attributed
to drivers under the influence of
liquor. Representative Schultz of
Indiana, of the House District
Committee, is striving to get the
cooperation of the Police Court
judges to impose Jail sentences in
the drunken driver cases. In this
move he is being applauded by
the civic and safety groups.
One of the difficulties en-
countered in tightening up the
penalties on drivers involved in
accidents while supposedly under
the influence of alcohol is the
lack of any proper method for
determining the condition of the
driver at the time of arrest. This
has resulted in new interest in
the often suggested introduction
here of scientific and accurate
method OF determining the degree
OF mtoXlcatlon of such suspects,
or, as matter of fact. of all
drivers involved in accidents.
The District of Columbia Med
lcal Society is forming a COM
mlttee to cooperate with the
Traffic Safety Promotion Com
mlttee OF the Traffic Advisory
council. 1t has been suggested
IN the society that this commit
tee study the possibilities of using
medical tests to determine the
extent of intoxication of persons
IN accidents or in unsafe driving
cases. 1t has been suggested
that tests be made of pedes-
tr1ans involved in collisions with
motor vehicles, as it is believed
that intoXication of the pedes-
trlan Is sometimes the cause.
A group of public spirited
citizens have arranged a meet
ing to be held tonight at 8 o'clock
IN the First Congregational
Church in support of the bill
H. R. 1908 introduced in the
House of Representatives by Rep
resentative B. Carroll Reece of
tennessee. The bill is the same as
one introduced in the Senate bv
Senator Robert r. Reynolds of
North Carolina. These bills are
10 provide for the use of scien-
tlflc tests to determine the degree
OF lntoXlcation of motor vehicle
operators in the District of Co.
lumbla, and for other purposes.
Inc Sunday night meeting will
nave as the speakers Represent
atlVe Reece, Wilbur La Roe. jr.,
OF the Parole Board and William
A Van Duzer, director of traffic.
The Reece bill is pending be-
lore the Subcommittee on the
Judiciary of the House District
Committee, of which Represen-
tative Dan R. McGhee is chair
man. Early hearings are ex-
pected to be held on the bill.
The proposed tests are consid-
cred valuable not only as def
nltely fixing responsibility of
drunken drivers, but as a pro-
lection of those unjustly so ac-
cused or suspected. It has been
also suggested that the use of
such scientific tests might be the
means of preventing the mistake
OF treating persons suffering
from injuries as if they were
intoxicated. Cases of this kind
nave resulted in neglect followed
by death, which might have been
avoided had the true nature of
the persons condition been accu-
ratelY determined

50 Lbs. Dynamite Discovered Near Ship Canal

SALT ST. MARIE, Ontario. April g (H) The discovery of 50 pounds of dynamite hidden susp:ciously close to the bottle neck of the upper Great Lakes at the ship canal intensified in Canada wide safeguards against possible sabotage to cripple the British Empire in time of war Dominion officials took measures against sabotage which linked them with the tense European situation.
 Many reports are incoming of thefts of explosives from con- struction firms with the fear that it might be used to blow up pub lie utilities and industrial plants if Canada is involved in war.
 Squads of war veterans were enrolled for guard duty at strat- egie points and some workmeu were sworn in as special watch men at vital hydro electric plants and ship canals through which flows traffic between Lake Super for and the Eastern lakes which is important for peace or war for they are ore and wheat ship ments.
 The dynamite was discovered in a shed only a thousand yards from the Great Lakes Power Company Plant by police. A charge of dynamite thrown at the power cable would float into the powerhouse penstock and blow up everything.
