Liver Logic
Liver Is a sound. fine trout
food.
Yes. sir. plain ordinary beef
liver like the butcher used to
give away for cat food.
But which in these days of
vitamins brings a heavy rattle
of coin on the counter if you
buy a pound or two or three.
Commercial trout ranchers
use liver TO fatten their fish.
And the trout deyour IL.
Thus, there Is no reason why
liver a. a bait would not bring
results.
Give II whirl some time.
some of you folks. and let me
know your success.
As boys on Muck creek your
column cootie and pal. Harry
keppert. used to shoot little
robin red breast, take his round,
plump bosom and cut it into
small cubes.
Never found a more successful
bait. The trout would battle
each other for the hook.
In those days, of course. there
were far more trout than you
now find in the average nearby
stream.
Increase in population. more
people fishing and modern
means of transportation natur-
ally have taken their toll of the
finny fighters.
Still. fish appetite remains
the same.
Personally, don't use robin red
breast now.
The little harbinger of spring
Il protected under the song bird
laws.
But you can try liver.
What's that? No. no, Not
little liver pills just the or
binary bovine product.

Earlier Story on Page B.1.

In a vigorously worded dissent
from the House District Committee
majority which today approved the
Schultz Police Subcommittee re-
port, Representative DirkSen. Re-
publican. of Illinois charged that
the subcommittee had without
warrant or necessity condemned the
United States Civil Service Com
mission" and had also laid its find
ings before the full committee
without giving the latter group
an opportunity ito make that kind
and degree of examination so i'm
portant before voting on its ac-
ceptance and adoption
The committee voted to 2 to
accept the report and Mr.. Dirksen
issued a prepared statement an
nouncing that he was one of the
diSsenters and giving his reason.
1t was learned at the same time
that the Illinois House member
had sought unsuccessfully to pre-
vent the committee from approving
the attack on the Civil Service Com
mission incorporated by the subcom-
mittee IN the report last week which
summed up the lengthy inquiry into
the administration of the Metro
politan Police Department and pro-
posed sweeping changes. The vote
against expunging this criticism
was to 3.
Accuses Commission.
The subcommittee, in its final re-
port, charged that the commission
was attempting to influence" the
subcommittee and stir up public
opinion, and declared that this
course was "reprehensible. 1t also
recommended that civil service ex-
aminations for promotions be abol-
lshed, and that they be left up to
the department and the Commits
sioners.
The Civil Service Commission
aroused the ire of the subcommittee
in communication which took
sharp exception to criticism of COM
mission examining procedure for
police promotions. Chairman
Schultz, Democrat. of Indiana. in
the course of the hearings blamed
department shortcomings on the
fact that promotions depended on
commission tests which he said were
1mpracticable. AS an example, he
declared, Capt. George M. Little haC
been denied advancement because
he was unable to answer a question
as to how long it takes startling
to fly from the White House to the
Justice Department
The commission, hitting back. de-
Tended the nature of the questions
asked in these tests, which are
formed with the assistance of the
Police Department. and sale

through favoritism, and safeguardec
the public.

On Bills 10 Use F. B. |
On District Crimes
Herrine-McKeIIor Plans
Are Due to Be
Examined Friday

Senator OMahoney of Wyoming,
chairman of a subcommittee of the
Senate Judiciary Committee, to
which the Herring and McKellar
bills for the use of the F. B. I. to
run down crime in Washington have
been referred, announced today the
subcommittee would open hearings
on these bills on Friday morning.
Senator OMahoney was not
present at meeting of the COM
mittee earlier in the day to consider
the bill. Chairman Van Nuys of the
full committee said if it were agree
able to Senator OMahoney, he
would probably ask Senator McCar-
ran of Nevada. second man on the
subcommittee and chairman of the
Senate District Committee, to hold
hearings on the bills. as he under
stood the Wyoming Senator would
be busy this week.
Senator Van Nuys said ne under
stood both the Attorney General
and J. Edgar Hoover, F. B. I. head,
were not favorable to having the
F.. B. I. handle local crime in the
District. Also some Senators fear
that if the F. B. I. were given the
duty of running down local crime
it might be a stepping stone to
each use for similar purposes in
other places. This, they said, would
not be a healthy thing to have hap
pen.
The Senate Judiciary Committee
reported favorably bill to author
ize the transfer of boys from the
National Training School for Boys
to other Federal institutions. if
such action became necessary in in
