Police Should Guard
Civil Rights, Bidd|e
Tells F. B. |. Glass
Gov. O'Conor, Dr.. Sizoo
Also Speak os 36
Receive Diplomas

Police officers gathered here from
many parts Of the country were told
yesterday by Attorney General Bid
die that the protection of civil
rights is their duty.
The Attorney General spoke at
the commencement exercises of the
18th session of the National Police
Academy. conducted by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, at which
class of 36 members received diplo-
mas upon conclusion of the regular
12-week course in advanced police
methods. The final week of the
course was devoted to specialized
training in defense policing, in
which this class was joined by 1868
graduates OF the academy who spent
the week here in retraining ses-
sion.
On the speakers program with
the Attorney General were Gov.
Herbert O'Conor of Maryland, DR..
j. r. Sizoo, former pastor of New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church,
now pastor of the Collegiate Church
of st. Nicholas in New York, and j.
Edgar Hoover, director of the F.
B. I.
Il get a great many letters from
some very good citizens-and some
from cranks-eXpressing the belief
that as we tighten the controls in
the defense effort, there is but little
chance for survival in a militarized
world of what the President called
the four freedoms, Attorney Gen.
eral Biddle said.
Il don't agree with that; they
have survived five wars, and they
will survive again. But their sur
vival is in the hands of those who
enforce the laws"
He concluded with the admonition
that Everybody is entitled to the
rights guaranteed by the Constitu-
tion and expressed in the laws OF
this free country"
Attorney General Biddle expressed
satisfaction that the F. B. I. had
been kept free from politics" as
serting that wherever a police sys-
tenn is politics-ridden, just to that
extent is it inefficient"
Gov. O'Conor told the class that
"the law enforcement agent owes
1t to the Nation and to himself to
equip himself adequately to perform
his tasks"
Where law enforcement is in
competently performed the citi-
zen and his property are in danger"
he emphasized.
DR.. Sizoo praised the work of the
F. B. l., declaring the organization
had stripped crime of its romance.
You have popularized righteous
ness" he said
Mr.. Hoover discussed the part the
bureau has played in the defense
effort and asserted that hundreds"
of spies had been "thwarted" by the
work of his agents. He urged the
police officers to take the lead In
their communities in strengthening
civilian defense.

have so many .. graduated from Kansas City and Newark. HARRIS HOPES CHAPMAN TAKES OTHERS WITH HIM
 Rick Terrell gives the Mats steady catching. Jake Early isn't half bad, and Al Evans, built for wear and tear, may take the first string job from both.
 Meyer feels better than he has in three or four springs, and Jim- my Bloodworth looks like he means 1t. Pohahl is one of two extra hands in an infield which may spring an occasional leak, but will hit not for distance, perhaps, but. often.
 Harris gave Gerald Walker to get Doc Cramer because he needed a center fielder. He may have two of them now. Joe Mellendick, up from Greenville, looks that good.
 Harris doesn't see anything wrong with Chapman playing for himself, as he was reported to have done elsewhere.

Bucky Harris Says Mats Will Rum; They'll Have To- To Get tAnyWhere
It VII Be NeuUs When Washington Player Makes An Exfru Base Hit
By HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

Orlando, Fla, March l7-Stanley Raymond Harris says the Washing ton Club will run this season.
 Buckley Harris dosen't say where, but the Nationals will have to run to get any place.
 It will be news when any one of them makes an extra base hit.
 Yet Harris wouldn't be surprised if Washington had It's best club since he returned there in 1895.
 That wouldn't necessarily make the Mats pennant- winners, but
 Tall Sid Hudson, Dutch Leonard and Kendall Chase assure Wash ington respectable pitching.
 The outfit has speed {. the swiftest athletes in baseball in George Washington Case and Ben Chapman.
 George Albert Archie, the most valuable player in the Pacific Coast League, will play consider able first base, and gets around the bases.
 Roger Cramer and Chapman with Case form a CCC camp In the outfield to correct trouble which Harris says cost @ dozen runs Q week last term.
 Because Jimmy Pofahl turned out to be- in Clark Griffith,s words--the worst buy he ever made. Cecil Travis and Buddy Lewis are back where they were at short- stop and third base, respectively.
 Lewis went to righ field and Travis to the far turn e year ago when old Fox Griffith paid Min neapolis S36,000 for Pofahl ARCHIE REPORTS WITH FINE RECORD ON COAST
 Harris was practically paging ushers ard peanut butchers In search of @ first baseman after zeke Bonura was peddled to the Cubs last summer.
 Archie, called a right.handed Hal Chase on the golden slope batted 327 in 1889 and .322 in le40. He led the A loop with 47 doubles last trip, and was third in scoring il3 runs ard driving in 102.
 Harris principal task is devel- oping another starting pitcher, and he is pulling for Buddy Myer to have one more good year at sec- ond base.
 Hudson, the new Washington monument. won 17 games in his first season In the majors after a slow start during which Harris rubbed of the rought edges. The Tt. Oglethorpe Fast One and Emil Leonard and southpaw Chase are potential 20-gane men.
 Walter Masterson is due to show something more than promise. Danny MacFayden will be em- ployed ct a spot pitcher. Weather beaten Alex Carrasquel Is still around, and the brighter bowling recruits are Arnold Anderson and Red Cunningham.
