Young Bandits Get $500
In Two Liquor Stores

Two liquor stores were robbed last
night by three young bandits who
escaped with more than $500.
after entering the Avenue Wine &
Liquor Store at 1924 Pennsylvania
avenue Sc, where they emptied
the cash register and then forced
the owner, Harry Dobkins, to hand
over the money in his pockets. Mr..
Dobkins was in back room eating
his dinner at the time of the hold
up.
A few hours later bandits answer
ing the same description pulled
guns in a liquor and grocery store
at 1909 Wisconsin avenue NV.
They forced David Tievsky, the
proprietor, to hand over 5000. A
customer, Mrs. Helen Fuge of 4436
Forty-ninth street NV, struck at
one of the bandits with a bottle, she
said, but missed.
Police today were looking for q
colored man believed wounded by a
railway detective who surprised q
gang attempting to steal copper
cable from the freight yards at
New Jersey avenue and I street
Sc. The officer said the man fired
two shots at him when he ordered
him to halt.
The detective returned the fire.
He expressed the belief he had hit
the thief, who was accompanied by
three other men.

ARRAY With Marshal
Ruled Simple Assault

A District Court jury last night
found Kermit H. Sherman guilty
of simple assault. He had been in
dicted by the District grand jury
on a charge of assaulting Deputy
United States Marshal James A.
Quinn with dangerous weapon.
The jury deliberated nearly eight
hours.
Sherman was charged with as
saulting Mr.. Quinn with a knife on
October % last in the 1900 block
of H street NV.
Deputy Marshal Quinn, who was
exonerated of blame by the grand
jury after he had appeared before
it, said he fired a shot at Mr.. Sher-
man in self-defense after the &C
cused advanced on him with an open
knife. Sherman was shot in the
abdomen.
Mr.. Quinn told officials he was
looking for a person in the course
of duty, when Sherman attacked
him.
Assistant United States Attorney
Allen ]. Krouse, who prosecuted the
case, said today that Sherman can
be given a maximum of one year
in jail and $500 fine under . con-
viction for simple assault.

Hoover Named Honorary
Head Of BOYS Club Drive

j. Edgar Hoover, director of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation,
has been named honorary chair
man of the 1941 campaign of the
Metropolitan Police Boys Club, ac-
cording to an announcement today
by Charles B. Dulcan, ST., vice presi-
dent and general manager of the
Hecht Co., the general chairman
for the drive.
A goal Of 100000 has been set
for the campaign scheduled to open
February Is and continue through
March 13.
In accepting the honorary chair
manship, Mr.. Hoover said:
Crime is rooted in the bad COM
panionship and dangerous interests
of misguided youngsters. They lack
the opportunity to choose more
wisely. Their environment offers
them little or no chance to develop
respect for law and order, to learn
the meaning of good citizenship and
fair play"
Adding that any agency which
offers these desirable objectives to
a young boy is stopping crime at
its source, Mr.. Hoover asserted that
"the Boys Club of the Metropolitan
Police is doing just that. 1t is
giving us citizens instead of GRIM
inals. Therefore I am happy to
participate in this important work,
and urge my fellow citizens to sup
port generously this drive for the
good Of these boys and the we'll
being Of our community"

Program 10 Remedy
Traffic Evils Here
Offered byA. A. A.
More Policemen Urged;
Elimination Of Ticket
Fixing Advocated

A program advocating improve
ments in Washington's traffic sys-
tenn, ranging from the need for ad-
ditional police to establishment of
a separate traffic branch in Police
Court to care for all traffic cases,
was presented today by the Ameri-
can Automobile Association to the
District Commissioners.
Burton w. Marsh, director Of the
Safety and Engineering Department
of the association, told the Commits
sioners the aim of the program is
to remedy deficiencies in the city's
traffic setup rather than to blame
any one for its present condition
which has resulted in an average
toll of one victim every two days
since January.
Among necessary reforms pre-
sented by Mr.. Marsh before Com
missioner John Russell Young, act
ing on behalf of the other two Com
missioners, who were unable to be
present, were:
1. Additional police personnel. Mr..
Marsh pointed out that figures de-
veloped by the International Asso-
citation of Chiefs Of Police show that
Maj. Ernest w. Brown, superintend-
ent of police, should have available
for traffic duty 80 more officers than
he now has.
Hits at Ticket Fixing"
The proportion of the police force
on full-time traffic duty here" he
declared. "is less than one-half of
what is recommended by the safety
/ division of the international Asso-
citation Of Chiefs of Police"
2. Elimination of ticket fixing.
The speaker characterized this prac-
/ tice as 'one of the most dangerous
challenges to effective traffic en-
forcement. He also warned against
extension of diplomatic immunity
for traffic violations to people who
are not entitled to It.
| 3. Establishment of separate
traffic branch in Police Court to
care for all traffic cases. Such a
court. Mr.. Marsh explained, would
result in more uniform procedure,
more uniform fines and sentences,
more comprehensive knowledge on
the part of the justices of traffic
laws and a general speeding up of
the disposal of cases.
Separate Bureau Proposed.
AS part of the separate TRAFFIC
Court. Mr.. Marsh advocated the
setting up of a Traffic Violations
Bureau to handle all minor traffic
cases. This, he said, should "be
definitely related to the court"
4. Additional personnel in the De-
partment of Vehicles and Traffic.
This defect" the speaker declared,
must be remedied if we are to get
the engineering program that will
make driving In Washington easier
and safer for motorists and also for
pedestrians.
Mr.. Marsh also advocated crea-
ton of a paid executive secretary
for the Traffic Advisory Council:
increased public safety education
through the press, radio and thea
ters and coordination of motor
vehicle administration, enforcement,
education and engineering.
