Keen and Alert Police Officers
Guide Auxiliary Activities
Each Precinct Has One or More Regular
Policemen to Help Volunteers "

points where car thefts and other
larccncies and housebreakings had
occurred. Such crimes are extreme
ly few today.
Working out of No. 9, on Ninth
between E and F streets NE, two
auxiliaries, Sergt. Joseph F. Red
man and Pvt. Douglas H. Morten-
sen, shadowed a drug addict and
eventually learned his source OF
supply, which was raided by a Fed
eral narcotic squad. There PATROL
man j. J. Mccarthy directs aux
iliaries for Capt. Clement P. Cox,
and at No. l, previously conspicu-
GUS in this series, officers G. H. Rob-
inson and Wilbur r. Coffee pre-
side in the auxiliary quarters.
The largest force of auxiliaries,
more than 400, is at No. precinct,
Thirteenth and Nicholson avenue
NV, commanded by Capt. Walter
H. Thomas. c. P. M. Lord, a re-
tired metropolitan police captain,
is general instructor in police work.
The volunteers of this precinct are
of such high caliber that not a
single one has been turned down
because of the character investi-
cation.
But the effectiveness of a pre-
cinct,s auxiliaries does not depend
on their number, and undoubtedly
No. 2, Fifth street and New York
avenue NV, with the smallest
number, less than $50, is doing al
eff1cient a job as any precinct in
town. These volunteers, at least q
third of them colored, do every.
thing, even drive patrol wagons
and Police Capt. jeremiah Sullivan
is proud of them.
Two captains in No. 13.
The first precinct to put a large
number of auxiliaries on the street
was No. 13, commanded from Ninth
and U streets NV. by Acting Capt
Charles P. Weber. Officer Arthur B
Gernhofer, who mans the auxiliar-
les Office, points out that around
100 were put out on beats before
Pearl Harbor. This precinct has a
white captain, DR.. Bart Collard, a
physician, and colored captain,
Robert G. Mcclure, a mortician.
One of the most interesting aux
lllary groups in town is the all
Chinese detail which patrols Wash
ington's Chinatown, H street NV,
between Sixth and Seventh streets.
Head of the Chinese detachment
Is Auxiliary Inspector George Wen
mayor of Chinatown" a restau-
rateur who was born in the city and
enjoys the implicit confidence of his
countrymen. Frank Fong is captain
the lieutenant is Moy Sing Shew
and the sergeants are Lee Toy and
George Dare. Altogether, there are
IL Chinese auxiliaries, and Maj
Kelly declares they are protecting
the lives of a populus area by ex.
planning to their compatriots, ir
their own language, why it's neces.
sary to blackout and to stay off the
streets when the raid sirens blow.
But, then, the major thinks every
one of the more than 1000 auxil-
iaries is doing bang-up job. And
he and the other officers of the de-
partment hope the public will un-
derstand that these men are work
ing for nothing, volunteering as a
civic duty at critical time, that
they are out there doing their best
And the department executives hope
the people will cooperate sympa-
thetically with the men and women
who have volunteered to help pro-
tect them, no matter what may
| happen.

Vale Crucis
School Is 100
Years Old Now

The Vale Crucis school this
year will mark it's Tooth birthday.
It is the oldest of the educational
institutions maintained by the
Diocese of Western North Caro-
lima of the Episcopal church.
The Rt. Rev. Robert E. Gribbin,
bishop of Western North Carolina,
said recently that no special ex-
ercises had yet been planned to
mark the centenary but that some
observance would be worked out
in the next few months.
The Vale Crucis school, in the
course of it's 100 years, has chang
ed it's form several times to con-
form with changing times and
conditions. One of the earliest mis-
sions to be established by the E.
piscopal church, it was founded in
1912 by Bishop Levi Silliman
Ives. First it served purely as
mission for the isolated mountain
folk of the region and later it be-
came a seat of learning and train
ing for young men who wished to
enter the ministry. This school
continued until shortly before the
Civil war when it ceased to func-
ton, but the mission work was
carried on.
Then in 1892, just a half CEN
fury ago, Vale Crucis, under the
direction of Bishop Joseph Blount
Cheshire, was reopened as a girls
school. It still functions as
school for girls although it's scope
has been greatly increased in re-
cent years.

FDR Signs Bill
For 7-Ocean Navy

Observation-Disclosures Roose-
welt signed the record $8,50O,00O,-
900 fleet expansion bill designed
to give the United States a "sev-
enocean" navy built on the rev.
dictionary concept that the air.
craft carrier has replaced the bat
tleship as the most formidable
weapon.
The measure authorizes the ad-
dition of 100000 tons of new
fighting vessels to the current
two-ocean navy program, even
tually giving this country an ar
NADIA of 5,649,4 tons, mightiest
all history.
None of the new tonnage will
be expanded on battleships, the
hulking monsters which hereto
fore have been regarded as the
backbone" of any naval force.
But, in recognition of the new era
of naval warfare ushered in by
the proven might of airpower,
the measure authorizes immediate
construction of 100000 tons of air.
craft carriers.
This will mean 20 or 30 more
flat tops.
Another 100000 tons will be
devoted to cruisers and 100000
tons to destroyers and destroyer
escorts, sorely needed to convoy
United Nations shipping through
the seven seas.
Mr.. Roosevelt signed another
measure authorizing the building
of 100000 tons of naval auxilia-
ry vessels at an undisclosed cost.
The $8,5OO,OOO,OOO bill made
history not only by its size but
by the more significant fact that
it recognizes the unquestioned
mastery of airpower over battle
ships. Testimony on the bill
brought the disclosure that A
merican naval experts had side
tracked plans to build battle
ships.
