Means 10 Tighten Up
Welfare Procedure
Urged by Van Hyning
Tells Trade Boord Unit
Specialists Needed to
Set Efficiency Standards

Welfare Director Conrad Van
Hyning told a Board of Trade COM
mittee yesterday his Office at present
is not equipped to evaluate the
worth of Washington public well
fare program accurately or to gauge
the efficiency of institutional pur-
chasing officers.
I'VE are spending lot of money
which is unsupervised, and there are
lot Of holes in that procedure" Mr.
Van Hyning declared in an informal
talk to the Charities end Corrections
Committee in the Olmstead Grill,
1886 G street NV.
Seeks to Establish Standards.
The welfare director emphasized
he had not been given reason to be-
lieve funds were being mismanaged
but explained the existing setup did
not permit of a reliable check on
relative competence of purchasing
officers in buying supplies. He said
he had requested the Commissioners
to provide cost accountant and an
engineer for the Office in order that
standards of efficiency could be
established through study.
The fact institutions for juvenile
delinquents are stated by personnel
that is largely custodial' makes it
difficult to determine whether con-
tinued institutionalization is the
best solution of "a particular case,
Mr.. Van Hyning told the committee.
He said local taxpayers could be
surer their money was being eX-
pended wisely for this purpose if
specialized personnel were provided
to check on progress or lack Of it in
children being cared for by agencies
of the Board of Public Welfare.
Stefan Bill Recommended.
He said he hoped appropriate COM
mittees of the Board of Trade would
assist with suggestions for bringing
good business into administration
of public welfare funds.
The committee voted 13 to to
approve a subcommittee report
recommending the Stefan bill pro-
viding registration procedure for Or
CARNATIONS wishing to solicit funds
for charitable purposes. The matter
thereby was sent to the trade groups
Board of Directors for consideration
Several clergymen on the commit
tee cautioned against hasty approval
of the measure in its present form
and suggested that more specific
protection for the churches should
be incorporated in order to prevent
investigation of church affairs by

1t was indicated churchmen would
seek to appear at public hearing
on the bill before a Senate commit
tee. The legislation has been ap-
proved by the House.

Wage-Hour Unit
To Be Shifted 10
New York Soon
Dote Not Yet Set;
Times Square Offices
To Free Z Floors Here

New York City has been Sc
lected as the new home of the
Wage and Hour Division, Labor
Department officials revealed to-
day. The division employs ap-
proximately 500 persons in Wash
ington.
The decentralization program
made public by the Budget Bureau
late last month originally called for
the transfer of the division to Pitts
burgh. Secretary Perkins. at spe-
cial meeting of Wage and Hour en-
ployes January 2. announced the
Pittsburgh plans had been aban-
doned and that the choice had been
narrowed to two cities. She did not
identify them.
Pittsburgh was given up as site
because suitable quarters could not
be found there and because 1t was
not sufficiently accessible to Wash
ington, it was explained.
The Wage and Hour Division, it is
understood will occupy space in a
building at 1860 Broadway, in Times
Square. Though the exact date of
transfer has not yet been disclosed,
1t is expected to be in the near fu-
ture.
The transfer will release approx
mately two floors to other Federal
agencies in the Labor Department
Building.
The move will not affect the activi-
tives of the regional Office In New
York, 1t was explained.
After the earlier announcement
Of the transfer to Pittsburgh many
Wage and Hour employees applied for
transfer to other Federal agencies.
Secretary Perkins, in addressing
Wage and Hour personnel January
2, indicated that department officials
would be reasonable" in passing on
requests for transfers where the
move from Washington would i'm
pose real hardship on the indi-
vidual employe. She warned. how
ever. that the Government was plan
ming to move other agencies from
the District.
1t is understood that in addition
to New York, Atlantic City also was
under consideration as headquarters
Of the Wage and Hour Division.
The final decision in favor Of New
York was reached last night.

Board Weighs
Shooting Case
Against Police
Four Officers Deny
Gun Was Fired
Into Prison Cell

Cases against four police officers
involved in the alleged firing of a
pistol shot into an occupied cell at
No. l precinct station were taken
under advisement by the Police Trial
Board this afternoon following a
three-day hearing.
Defense counsel for the. officers,
Pvts. Arnold Jackson, George Brom-
ley and Frank Knapp and 1t
Lorraine johnson, contended no evil
dence was offered to show that q
shot actually was fired into the cell
on the night of July %. except that
of the prisoner, Ronald Lindsay, COL
ored, under death sentence for GRIM
inal assault on a white girl here last
summer.
Lindsay claimed Pvt. Jackson fired
the shot, encouraged by Pvt. Brom-
ley. and that he later gave a frag-
ment of the spent bullet to Pvt
Knapp, who was in charge of the
cell block. The three privates were
suspended in September.
Didn't Believe Prisoner.
1t. johnson was accused of neg
lect of duty because he did not make
a report to his superiors. The lieu
tenant told the board he made an
immediate investigation of Lindsay S
charges. could find no evidence to
substantiate them and did not re-
port the matter because he believed
it based on a falSehood He testi-
fled he still believes some one shot
off a flrecracker instead of a re-
volver on the night in question.
Both Pvts. Bromley and Knapp
took the stand today and denied
Lindsay's charges. Pvt Knapp ex-
planned he had the only key to the
outer door of the cell block except
duplicate kept in safe, and he
was sure Pvts Bromley and Jackson
could not have been inside the cell
block at the time in question.
Pvt. Knapp is charged with neg
lect of duty in that he was absent
from the cell block. He explained
he had merely gone to the front desk
to attend to his official duties.
He heard a report like a fire.
cracker and went to the cell block to
investigate, he said.
Believed Fire Cracker.
Pvt. Kanpp testified he found no
officers in the cell block and that no
prisoners complained that revolver
had been fired inside. It was brought
out further that pranksters had been
setting OF firecrackers near the pre-
cinct and 1t. johnson believed this
had happened again when he heard
the explosion.
Expert testimony. however. in
dicated that a revolver bullet had
struck a cell bar near the top. glanc-
ing of to nick the cell wall and
lodge in a window frame. Frag-
ments of the supposed bullet were
recovered. The defense contended
the bullet was fired some other
time.
Inspector Ira Keck of the Trial
Board said a decision probably will
be returned in few days.
