Police Acquitted
Of Graft MdyGei
S2OO,470 in Pay

The police department today
faces the prospect of paying as
much as $2o0,470.69 more in back
salaries to officers suspended be-
cause Of grand jury graft indict-
|mentS records OF police secretary
William Logan revealed.
The money would be in addition
10 S65.639.63 already paid to
policemen who were suspended at
the time of their indictments but
acquitted and reinstated In the
department.
OF 38 more officers who like
wise may collect their back pay,
26 were acquitted Saturday in the
handbook conspiracy trial before
Circuit Judge Earl c. Pugsley.
LOWER AMOUNT SEEN
While the S2oo,470.69. is the
theoretical maximum which the
department may be called upon
to pay the SO policemen, in actual
fact the amount probably will be
lower.
Several of the suspended police
men have not yet been acquitted;
others named only as co-conspira-
tors but not defendants have had
no opportunity for court defense;
and all must face a police depart
ment decision on whether they are
to be reinstated, even though
acquitted in court.
In addition, from the back
wages paid any reinstated police
men will be deducted all money
he made from any other work
during his suspension.
The IA policemen found guilty
Saturday will be formally notified
of their dismissal
WHAT THEY FACE
The 26 who were acquitted first
face a special committee in the
department and then, possibly,
the police trial board.
The special committee. COM
posed of Nathaniel II. Goldstick,
assistant corporation counsel;
Senior Inspector Jesse Mean and
Senior Detective Inspector Edward
Graft, will review q transcript Of
testimony taken during the 83-day
trial by police stenographer and
hear a report by a special police
observer at the trial.
The committee will determine II
there was any conduct unbecom-
ing an officer on the part Of any
policeman. even IL not of criminal
nature. II none Is found, the COM
mittee can order reinstatement.
II evidence OF any unbecoming
conduct Is found, the committee
will drawe up charges for presen-
tation TO the police trial board.

Owners Asked 10 Cancel
Transferees' Leases

Fred E. Taylor. manager Of the
Decentralization Service of the Pub
lie Buildings Administration, today
issued an appeal to Washington
landlords to assist employees affected
by transfers of Federal agencies
to other cities by permitting them
to cancel leases on rent payment
to the date of vacating.
The Government is powerless to
step In where q transferred worker
has an unexpired lease on an apart
ment or house, and so it is neces-
sary ito appeal to the public spirit
of the landlords" Mr.. Taylor said.
You can have the satisfaction
that you are making a real con-
tribution to the war effort II you
assist in this manner, for It Is Of
great Importance that these en-
ployes of the Government shall be
relieved of worry that may affect
their efficiency" he added.
He suggested that landlords in
struct their rental agents to make
cancellations on a reasonable basis.

Child Safety Council
Backs APPOINT Plan
To Protect Youth
Calls for Ploy Streets,
Home Playground Activity
And Wider School Units

The new Guild TRAFFIC Safety
Council, composed of District ON
cials and civic leaders. today Is on
record as backing a four-potnt pro-
gram to improve protection of
Washington children. Recommend
ed by the Committee on Program
Planning, under the direction of
James Wiley, ways and means of
carrying out the proposals were re-
ferred back to the committee.
The program includes the closing
Of streets for play, home playground
contests, city tours by the gospel
of safety" truck and the expansion
of child safety councils in schools.
Considerable debate preceded
adoption of the street closing sug-
gestion. Police Inspector Arthur E.
Miller asked for suggested spots and
said he would be glad to pass them
along to Traffic Director william H.
Van Duzer, who in turn could re-
ceive survey reports from precinct
captains. However, he raised the
question as to complaints about
noise, proper street paving for roller
skating, and automobile parking.
The latter, he said, would have to be
banned.
Street Skating Opposed.
Harry c. English of the Commu-
nifty Center and Fairgrounds De-
partment opposed the closing of
streets and suggested use of parks
and school lots for skaters. The
skating phase of closed streets for
play was referred to the Facilities
Committee for later reports.
Inspector Miller discussed the
growing work Of the schoolboy pa
