depends upon the efficiency of the
superintendent, and he should be
the boss. When there is any one
over his head, he is not the boss
Mai. Brown explained that Under
existing law he can't even place a
warning given an officer or the
officers record and can only try an
officer who wants to appear before
him and plead guilty to an infrac-
ton of the department resula-
tions.
He said he started reorganizing
the Detective Bureau a month or six
weeks ago. He said there were sew
eral conditions he wanted to change
First, TO reduce the working hours
of a man assigned to the bureau
He explained that some of the men
working on murder cases now are on
duty 20 to % hours a day. He also
said he wanted "a change in the
set-up of the detective squad" so he
could get better fitted men.
No Funds for Laboratory.

tective Bureau, Maj. Brown said
would be a crime laboratory. but its
establishment is "out of the question
right now, because we don't have
the funds"
Representative Sauthoff COM
mended Maj Brown for his work
in connection with the establish
ment of five Boys Clubs in the
District as means of reducing
juvenile delinquency
That was an excellent idea,
Mr. Sauthoff declared.
The committee will resume the
investigation at 10 am Monday
when it will call three former men,
bers of the Detective Bureau who,
according to witnesses, we're glad
TO get out,
When he took the stand this after
noon, Maj. Brown was asked by MIR.
Hebert if he planned to retire in
August.
No" said the superintendent
Il have not even made application. -
There is story in a daily paper
today to the effect that you do plan
to retire" Mr.. Hebert pointed out.
Promised to Remain.
mo. the Commissioner Maj
Brown pointed across at the table
at Commissioner Hazen-"has asked

Then the newspaper story is in
correct?'
No, I wouldn't say it is incor-
rect" said Maj. Brown.
He added that a reporter asked
him if he had contemplated retiring
and he said he had.
I've contemplated it for some
time" the superintendent explained,
"as I suppose every one eligible for
retirement has. I have not decided
to, however"
Mai. Brown told Star reporter
last night that he probably would
ask the Commissioners to retire him
in the latter part of August.
He indicated that he was holding
of retirement only until he COM
pletes his term of Office as president
of the International Association OF

Willing 10 Bargain,

Earlier Story on Page Al
BY TIE Associated Press.
The Western Cartridge Co. told
the Defense Mediation Board today
it was willing to bargain in good
faith" with the A. F.. L. chemical
workers, but demanded the right to
seek a court review of a Labor
Board ruling naming the union as
bargaining agent for the concern S
smokeless powder employees.
The Alton ulll company made
this reply to board demand for a
showdown by pm. on the union
recognition dispute.
The board had recommended ac-
ceptance by the company of the
N. L. r. B. order to avert strike,
which the A. F. l.. union said would
be started Sunday midnight unless
the employer complied with the N.
L. R. B. ruling.
pany's answer was not satisfactory
and that plans for the strike would
continue.
Company officials have contended
the smokeless powder division
approximately $50 workers-does
not constitute an appropriate bar
gaining unit. since the plant en-
ploys $500,
John w, Olin, vice president of
Western Cartridge, suggested the
division might be divorced from the
rest of the plant
If it is an appropriate bargain
ing unit" said Mr., Olin, 1t should
also be an appropriate economic
unit. If it is necessary for this COM
pany to bargain separately for this
unit. then we are prepared to explore
the possibilities of reorganizing the
operations of the company's plant
and business and of taking the
necessary steps to create separate
integrated economic unit for the So
called smokeless powder division"

Then if that was done you

No, Id call it neglect of duty
Maj Brown called the Strieff
murder the most battling case we
have had" He added: We went
to every house in the neighborhood
and interviewed every one who
might have known anything
about it,
Wasn't it a newspaper reporter
and not the police who discovered
that the girl had stopped in deli
catessen?'
Il don't know"
''I have been Informed" said Mr.,
Hebert, that some one in the neigh
borhood was not questioned"
Maj. Brown said he thought every
one was.
Don't you think" the chairman
asked, that every person who knew
this girl should have been questioned
by the poLce?'
YES"
We'll. I know of one man who
was in the girls apartment the Fri
day before her death who never
was questioned. That's not hear
say-I know it. I don't think he
knows anything about her death.
But he was not questioned. Would
you call that good police work?
No, if that happened 1 would
not"
Have the police been efficient in
this case?"
They have not proved their eff
cheney on this case.
Then they are under indictment
for inefficiency in this murder?'
You might say that"
Mai Brown was asked about the
organization of the headquarters
Detective Bureau and whether most
of its best officers had been trans
ferred to uniform work because it
was the only way they could win
promotion. In some instances this
might have been true, he admitted
Would YOU say Capt. Harvey

mander) would make a good de-
tective?"
Capt. Callahan has never had
any experience in detective work. I
wouldn't say that he would not
make good lnvestigator-I Cont

Truscott Mentioned.
Would you say Capt. Truscott
(Capt. Floyd Truscott, commander
of the 10th precincU would better
serve the department as detec-
tive?"

present grade he could not be trans
ferred to that work. The law for
bids it. I think Capt Truscott
lacks administrative ability in the
precinct and would do better in
the Detective Bureau"
