Lone Bandit Gets S73
In Gas Station HoIdup

The short, swarthy, lone bandit
who has been adding excitement to
the lives of all-night filling station
attendants in recent weeks visited
a station at Sherman avenue and
Harvard street NV. last night and
stole 1880 from Frank Williams
of SOC Eighth street S.W, at pistol
point. He escaped after ordering
Mr.. Williams to remain in the base
ment of the establishment for five
minutes before calling police.
Although the bandit previously
had favored the hours just before
dawn for his calls, last nights visit
was made before midnight. Police
believe he had switched because of
slim receipts"
Warren E. Nash of 1925 Sixth
street SW reported to police he
had been set upon by three colored
men last night on L street NV. be-
tween Fourth and Sixth streets and
robbed of s62 and revolver.

Negligent Homicide Trials
To Follow Decision

Tentative plans were under way
today at Police Court for putting
on trial some 20 negligent homicide
cases, most of which had been held
up awaiting the decision by the
United States Court of Appeals,
which yesterday upheld the consti-
tutionality of the Districts Negli-
gent Homicide Act.
Assistant District Attorney Ar
thur j. Mclaughlin said jury as
signments for this week already
have been made up and indicated
the first of the pending negligent
homicide cases will be brought to
trial next week
The probability is, the prosecu-
tor said, that the cases will be
assigned to trial in routine fashion,
the oldest of the cases being
scheduled first.
No negligent homicide case has
been tried since last summer, pend
ing the outcome of the appeal made
to the Court Of Appeals in the test
case.

Red Cross Conducts
Successful Test
OF Communications
1000 Chapters and Many
Amateur Radio Operators
Toke Port in Drill

The American Red Cross yester-
day received reports on the success
full completion of an emergency
communications drill in which ap-
proximately 900 chapters and many
amateur radio operators partici-
pated.
The chapters were asked to radio
message centers In Washington, st.
Louis and San Francisco as to how
many delegates they were sending
to the Red Cross Convention OPEN
ing here April 81.
The outcome of this drill" ac-
cording to Norman H. Davis, chair
man of the Red Cross. proves that
the Nations amateurs are on the
job, ready for any eventuality.
"One of the big problems in disas-
ter relief is maintaining communica-
tions with stricken areas When
thousands are driven from their
homes by flood. hurricanes or other
catastrophes which cripple normal
communications, amateur operators
are looked to as the connecting link
with the outside world. Through
them the Red Cross is able to survey
relief needs and act quickly"
One message from Carson City,
New, was received in Washington
via an amateur in the Canal Zone
by Roy c. Corderman, vice chairman
of the District Red Cross Disaster
Committee, who has set up his own
short-wave station at his home, 4401
Leland street, Chevy Chase, Md.
The message, directed to Washing
ton, was picked up in the Canal Zone
and relayed to Washington with the
aid OF an operator at West Palm
Beach, Fla.
Meeting with Mr. Davis yesterday
to discuss the communications drill
were Mr.. Corderman, Maj. Donald
e. Talley, liaison officer between the
Army and the American Radio Relay
League; 1t. Comdr. John Reinartz,
liaison officer between the Navy and
the league; 1t. Comdr J. H. Nichol-

Stream Of SeIectees
To Boost 29th Division
To Wartime Level
Steady Flow Of Men
Scheduled to Arrive
At Meade This Week
BY the Associated Press.

BY tht Associated Press.
FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md,
Apri! 8.-The 29th Division, having
passed its first massed test before
its commander, prepared today to
receive q steady flow of selective
service recruits to bring the divi-
sion personnel up TO wartime
strength.
Until last Friday, when 200 Mary
land and Virginia selectees arrived
from Camp Lea, Va, the 2eth was
made up Of about 1900 Federalized
National Guard officers and men.
Approximately 10000 recruits will
be required to expand the division
TO its wartime size, and a second
contingent OF selectees, coming to-
morrow from the Fort Meade re-
ception center, will lead in steady
stream Of new men during the next
few days.
Reckord Reviews Troops.
Maj. Gen. Milton A. Reckord,
division commander. reviewed the
troops yesterday for the first time
as combined unit since their mo-
bilization in February and said he
felt the 29th was ready to take on
the seiective service men as soon as
they get here"
On Thursday, $50 more selectees
will come from the reception center
here. Camp Lee will send $50 men
on Thursday, 200 on Friday and 345
on Saturday. The Fort Meade CEN
ter will furnish 225 recruits Satur-
day and 225 on Monday.
Assignment of the remainder of
the men is expected within the next
few days.
A recent report classifying 1853
men of the division showed that go
per cent Of them are occupational
specialists and that 40 per cent are
"basics" with no specialties.
Special Talents Noted.
I'm this regard" the report said,
"the division appears to be exceed
ingly fortunate as to the type of men
enlisted by unit commanders prior
to induction, and 1t is an indication
that they were alive to the need for
highly trained specialists in a
modern army"
The report said unofficially that it
is understood that the divisions ratio
of trained men is almost precisely
the reverse of the percentage of
trained men appearing before selec-
tive service boards generally.
The report was prepared by a
classification detail under Capt.
Rudolph Morgan of the 176th Field
Artillery.
The classified group includes one
man or more in 205 of the 275 occu-
pations listed in the report as having
value to the Army.

Police Forms Would
Note Blank Stare
OF Drunk Drivers
Proposal Also Seeks
Data on Excited Talk
And Hue of Fuce

Just what constitutes being in
toxicated would be defined more
completely than ever before ir
drunk driving cases brought into
Police Cyurt, under plans discussed
YESTERDAY.
In an effort to provide more COM
plete information for the prosecu-
ton of such cases, it was proposed
to adopt forms which would detail
the general condition of the person
arrested.
At the conference were Inspector
Arthur E. Miller of the Police De-
partmelU Traffic Division, M. o.
Eldridge, assistant director of the
Bureau of Vehicles and Traffic, and
Assistant Corporation Counsel Ed
ward w. Thomas OF Police Court.
Homicide Act Upheld.
The move, which would strengthen
prosecution cases in such charges,
was taken as the United States
Court of Appeals upheld the con-
stitutionality of the Districts Negli-
gent Homicide Act The court ruled
that the information filed against
the defendant was sufficiently ex-
plicit and detailed to enable him to
prepare to defend himself against
the charge.
The police form proposed for use
st yesterdays conference would COM
bine information in forms in use by
the assistant corporation counsels,
the Police Department and the Ma
tional Safety Council.
In addition to the defendants
name and other general information
the arresting policeman would in
clude whether the defendants
breath smelled of alcohol, whether
his clothes were orderly, disarranged
or soiled. He would also report on:
The color of his face, whether
apparently normal" flushed or
pale.
His mental state, whether he was
excited, impolite, stupefied, silent,
sarcastic, talkative, hilarious or
sleepy.
"Stare" to Be Noted.
His unusual actions-whether he
was fighting, quiet, drowsy.
His eyes-whether they we're
droopy, bloodshot, normal, watery
or if blank stare" was noted.
His balance-whether he was un-
steady, staggered, very much or
slightly.
His speech-whether he talked
In confused manner, was profane,
talkative, abusive or if his speech
was thick"
Under the discussed plan, the de-
fendant also would be asked whether
he were willing to submit to tests
to determine sobriety. These tests
would include physical tests such
as being able to place his finger on
his nose with his eyes closed, and to
pick up coin from the floor.
Mr.. Thomas said he believed
adoption of such a form was an
administrative matter" to be enact
ed upon by the Police Department.
He said the detailed information
obtained through use of such a form
would be of real aid in prosecuting
driving while drunk cases.
