Important War Role Forecast
For Aerial Color Cameras

photographs.
The color camera has wide vision,

planned, because the sensitive emul-
sion of the film used "sees" far down
into the infra-red and far up into
the ultra violet ends Of the spec
trum of light beyond the range of
human vision.
The Air Corps is seeking to per-
feet quick methods of developing
the color pictures in a small labora-
tory within the cabin of the airplane
from which the photographs are
made. Az present several hours are
required for the developing process.
If speedy process can be de-
vised, it will be possible for a recon-
Nuisance airplane to fly over bat
tie area, make pictures, develop
them and drop them in the hands
of the army commander in few
minutes, Air Corps officers said.

Tax Appeals Board
Setup Criticized
By Subcommittee
Change in System Of
Valuation Reviews
By One Man Urged

Outspoken criticism of the' set
up of the Districts one-man Board
OF Tax Appeals-which had been
praised by civic representatives at
the Commissioners hearings on pro-
posals for municipal reorganization
was registered by the House Dis
trict Appropriations Subcommittee
in its report made today to the
House.
The committee, headed by Rep
resentative Caldwell, Democrat, of
Florida, said:
I'm recommending $4,000 for the
Board of Tax Appeals, which is the
amount of the current appropria-
ton, the committee wishes to call
attention to the fact that this board
is composed of single member
without any considerable training
and experience in matters OF prop
erty valuation. who is called upon
to review and adjust assessments
fixed by the Board of Assessors,
which has the experience, back
ground and information to do a
better job than any one else. The
committee finds difficulty in recon-
Cling a condition of this kind and
recommends that consideration be
given to improvement of the situa-
ton by the appropriate authorities. +"
10 " Morgan. former assistant
corporation counsel. is the sole
member of the board. He had ex-
planned to the Caldwall Commit
tee. during the hearings, that he
had had no experience as an as
SCISSOR. but that he had been a
member of the District bar since
1909 and that, Il practiced law
daily with one of the largest law
firms and most of my business was
real estate from 1909 to 1897; actual
practice"
In making his original draft of
proposals for District reorganiza-
ton, Corporation Counsel Elwood H
Seal suggested abolition of the one
man board, to leave appeal decisions
to the Commissioners or the courts
but the city heads, after study
finally struck the suggestion from
their revamping program.

To Consider Step

Possible acquisition and opera.
ton of Columbia Hospital as a mu-
nicipal institution, Or it's use for
other purposes, should be given
further study by the Commission
ers, the House District Appropria-
tions Subcommittee recommended
in it's report on the District supply
bill today.
The Caldwell group said the city
heads should 60 into the matter
with a view to reaching an equita-
BILE solution as to the Districts re-
sponsibility for providing funds for
the hospital, in whose buildings the
District has about a half-equity.
The discussion arose over the SUBJ
committees action in restoring to
the District budget an item of SIS 900
for general repairs and improve
ments to the hospital, which had
been eliminated from the Commis-
sloners' 194l estimates by the
Budget Bureau. Such a sum has
been paid by the District annually
for many years. Hospital officers
estimated that charity services per-
formed in 1889 amounted to s57.378
In one quarter, the subcommittee
recommendation for possible District
operation of the hospital was taken
as an indirect suggestion that this
building might be used for the con.
valescent homeIGhich Commissioner
George E. Allen and Health Depart
ment officials have proposed as a
means of reducing the number and
the cost of patieats now given care
at Gallinger Municipal Hospital.
Health officials say the cost of care
OF a recuperating patient in a con-
valescent home is much cheaper
than at hospital, that perhaps
such development might bring
about a saving as great as s50O00
annually in the operation of CAL
linger.

Halls Gambling Ring
Testimony in Detroit
Six Defendants Win
Fight to Avoid
Preliminary Hearing
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, March 27.-The taking
of testimony in the preliminary ex-
animation Of group of individuals
charged with conspiracy to protect
gambling and vice in Wayne Coun-
ty Detroit) was halted by the
State Supreme Court today.
The action came on q petition
by six defendants who sought to
waive" preliminary examination
and avoid the presentation of testi-
mony before formal arraignment.
Circuit Judge Homer Ferguson had
ruled they must submit to prelim-
mary examination after counsel for
the grand jury which indicted them
expressed fear that key witnesses
now on hand might not be available
for the later arraignment.
Police Chief Suspended.
On the stand today when notice
Of the appeal was given was Barney
j. Nowicki, police chief of suburban
Hamtramck, who was suspended by
Public Safety Commissioner Ray
mond F. Matyniak after Nowicki
had testified yesterday that he
bought his job with money paid
by vice dens.
NoWicki made the statement while
testifying as State witness yester-
day at the preliminary examination
of "a individuals, including Prose-
cutor Duncan C. McCrea, Sheriff
Thomas c. Wilcox and others, on
charges of paying or accepting
money for protection Of vice in
Wayne County Detroit.
Mayor Walter Kanar of Ham
tramck said NoWicki would face a
trial board as a result of his ad-
missions before Circuit Judge Homer
Ferguson.
Was to Get $500 a Month.
Nowicki testified that Michael FL
gurski, one of the defendants, told
him IN January, 1899, that he could
have the job as police chief for ST.
500. He added that an arrangement
for monthly payments was made
when he told Figurski, a Ham,
tramck politician. that he did not
have that much money. He was ap-
pointed acting chief February 3,
1899.
"Figurski said I was to get $500 a
month for the protection of these
gambling places" Nowicki testified,
land that he would keep it until the
81 500 was paid"
Police Commissioner Mstyniak,
who appointed Nowicki, said today
he was at loss to understand why
Nowicki had dealt with anybody
about "a job that was his anyway"

vide funds to start construction of
two new school buildings, to erect an
addition to the Syphax School and
to finance the PREPARATION of plans
for another senior high school in
Northeast Washington. Funds for
purchase of two new school sites
also were allowed.
Other major cuts were made by
reducing from 100000 to s1,10O,-
600 an item for continuation of
construction of a new armory for
the District National Guard elm
ination of an item of $4,000 for
purchase of site for a new nigh
temperature incinerator in North
east Washington and $4,000 tor
purchase of site in the North
west for an additional health CEN
ter.
The subcommittee report empha-
sized that the 100000 reduction
in the estimates for the armory
would have no effect on the date of
completion of the building. which is
being constructed under three-year
program. 1t explained, however.
the appropriation next year would
have to be $1,150,000.
Underpass Plans Provided.
Aside from the new school build
ings the bill fails to carry funds
for any important new projects.
except the widening on street
NV between Thirteenth and Fit
teenth streets and installation of a
big trunk line water main connect
ing the Anacostia pumping sJa-
ticn with the Anacostia second
high service storage tank at the
Stanton School.
1t does, however, provide $4,000
for preparation of plans for con-
struction Of an underpass IN the
line of Sixteenth street NV. at Scott
Circle-a project that District Of
flcials say is more urgent tnan
ever since opening of the Thomas
Circle traffic tunnel.
Also the subcommittee approved
100000 fol- continuing constluc-
ton of the new main public Ii
brary building on the north side of
Pennsylvania avenue NV. between
Jonn Marshall place and Sixth
street, and $4,000 for completion
of an addition to the Jail for which
$64 900 had been recommended by
the Budget Bureau, an amount
that will prevent construction of a
walled inclosure for the Jail yard.
No Additional Policemen.
The city Refuse Department is
granted increased funds in the bill
for purchase of modern snoW-re-
moval equipment. An appropria-
ton of $4,000 for education of
handicapped and shut-in children is
earmarked for the Board of Public
Welfare, but the subcommittee, in
its report, declared the program
should be worked out with the
cooperation of public school au-
thorities. This work has been car
ried on for the last two years by
the Works Progress Administration
Despite repeated pleas of Maj.
Ernest E. Brown, superintendent of
police, for funds to add 100 or more
men to his force, the bill does not
allow salary for additional officers.
The only new employe will be a
part-time physician for the treat
ment of eye, ear, nose and throat
cases, a service that is now being
performed by doctors in private
practice.
The Fire Department was among
those that suffered slight cut, but
funds were allowed for the pur-
chase of some new equipment, in
