Issuing Of Firearms
To Auxiliary Police
Favored by Kelly
View Expressed After
Court Dismisses Case
Involving Weapon

The ar1ning Of auxiliary police
men. long under discussion here,
appeared near today following two
developments yesterday.
Police Supt Edward j. Kelly went
on record as in favor Of issuing fire.
arms to auxiliary police shortly
after learning that Police Court
Judge Walter j. Casey had dis
missed case against an auxiliary
policeman charged with carrying a
concealed weapon.
Charges against Ernest Thomp-
son. 80, colored, of 1856 U street NV,
an auxiliary policeman attached to
the 18th precinct, were dismissed
by Judge Casey on the grounds he
had the some right to carry a fire.
arm, under statutory law, as a reg
slar policeman.
Under the city's present blackout
law, however, no authority is given
for the arming of auxiliary officers.
On last December 16, Inspector
Harvey G.. Callahan, assistant po-
lice chief, at the direction of Maj.
Kelly, issued an order stating that
auxiliary police could not be armed
New Bill Before Congress.
# A new blackout law now being
prepared by Congress would give the
District Commissioners the power
9to take such measures as they deem
necessary for the adequate protec-
ton of persons and property" dur
ing an emergency, which would in
clude the right to arm auxiliary
policemen, according to Inspector
Callahan.
The courts decision yesterday was
based on a section of the District
Code which excludes police and
"other duly appointed law enforce
ment officers" from the provisions
against carrying weapons.
Mr.. Thompson's attorney, John
n. Wilson. pointed out that auxil-
larry policemen take the same oath
OF office as regular police and
therefore have the right to carry
firearms
The defendant was arrested
early Saturday morning at Twelfth
street and Rhode Island avenue
NV. by Policeman William Nevin,
who told the court he found a
revolver on Mr.. Thompson Officer
Nevin quoted the defendant as
saying he was off duty at the time
and was returning home after
spending the evening with friends.
Question Under Study.
Maj. Kelly reported that the
question of arming auxiliary Of
flcers was being studied by the
authorities and that as far as he
personally was concerned the move
had his approval He cited the
fact that special policemen are per-
rnitted to carry firearms and that
he felt auxiliary policemen fell in
the same category.
Inspector Callahan. however,
pointed out the difficulty in arm
ing the city's auxiliary force, which
now numbers more than 1000. He
said 1t would be practically i'm
possible to obtain firearms for these
men at this time because of pri-
ority difficulties
Before any firearms are issued
this group. he said, the men would
have to be thoroughly trained in
their use.
1t is believed that only select
group would be permitted use of
revolvers should the Commission
ers, under the pending legislation,
decide to take the step.

 Dr. Holiday broke in indulgently, "That's Jim's job all right-but he's a lazy beggar. I'll speak to him about them"
 The door behind him swung wide. Enid saw again the warm red and yellow room with its heavy mascu- line furniture. -n the middle of the rug a small boy was stacking build ing blocks.
 The child looked up impatiently. Come on, Daddy. Build me a house."
 Henry Holiday laughed. "All right Sonny. Just minute"
 Enid felt as if someone had sud- denly thrown cup of cold water in her face.
 Anything else?" the doctor asked with flash of white, even teeth.
 Enid thanked him lamely and backed away. Her face burned with deep flush of shame, as if she had been caught in despicable deed. As she went down the hall she heard the mans and the child's voices raised in companionable shouts. She rastened ner steps.

OF DEMOCRACY

THE STORY: Enid Sharon, stenographer, decided to take 9 secret vacation for a month be- fore settling down with Tom DriscOll, whom she has prom ised to marry. When her parents and sister are invited to lake resort Enid tells Tom that she must go out of town on business, then engages a furnished apart ment. The man who shows her the apartment is handsome young pr. Henry Holiday, whose picture Enid has admired in newspaper. Enid sees the rest of her family off on their vacation, then starts her own secret holiday.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-08-27

She had thought living in Arling- ton would be such an adventure, and after only week of 1t she was bored = bored with the quiet of the apartment, bored with the new clothes that had no place to go, bored with the silly pretense of living life that wasn't really hers. Nothing, she had discovered, was any fun unless it was shared with someone.
 She didn't bother to light the lamps in the living room, although it was quite dark when she returned to the apartment. She dropped Imply down in chair by the front windows. Across the street lower apartment was brilliantly lighted. Evidently a party was going on there. She could hear laughter and music and see couples dancing past the windows.
 As she watched wistfully from her darkened window, she saw man park car on her side of the street and come rapidly up the walk to the entrance of the apartment building. It was young pr. Holiday. He walked briskly with a purposeful swing to his well set-up shoulders. It was the first time Enid had seen him since she had rented the apartment.
 If only she knew someone like him to pass the evening with, she thought. Someone interesting to talk to. Her white forehead puck cred in thought. Maybe she could trump up some reason to see him again, to get to know him.
 
 Enid was shy. It took her until noon that Sunday to muster up courage to carry out her scheme.
 She took a last scared look in the mirror to be sure she was look ing her best. After much deliber- ation she had donned a slack outfit, one of her new purchases, the trous- CTS dark blue and of so soft ma terial that they looked like long skirt, the blouse red-and-white can dy stripe silk.

Eyes followed her in that even in the fitting room.
 She bought lounging pajamas and sleeping pajamas, a glamor- iZed housecoat of black silk with a front panel of changeably col roed stiff taffeta, a lowered chif- ion for afteronons with vide brimmed hat of yellow straw and great scarlet peoples pressed around it's brim, vivid summer prints, a bathing suit, an evening dress of coral organdy, and, looking for ward to fall, a beige wool suit touched up with a red beret, red gloves, and an enormous red leather purse.
 And then there were shoes, slender patent pumps, white high heeled sandals, a pair of gay props to wear with her pajamas, and smart buckskin oxfords for the suit.
 Enid ranged her new shoes and dresses in the closet and admired them, and wondered where she could wear them. What was the use of having pretty clothes if there was no one to see and admire her in them?
 To chase away the depressiont hat unexpectedly settled upon her, she donned one of the cool prints, the white sapdals, a crownless white hat crisp new pair of gloves and phoned for a taxi. Shed go home and pick up her mail. There was quite an accumulation of it. Enid opened eagerly a big, thick letter from her mother.
 They were having the time of their life, Nom wrote. She and Pop went out every morning and fished all day. Late in the after noon they'd come in and go to bed, and get up after midnight and go out again, for just before daylight was the best time of all to catch fish.
 Lefty and the children were en- toying themselves, too, she added. and getting brown as berries from their daily swim in the lake.
 Enid purposely left the letter from Tom until the last. She recognized his awkward. angular handwriting on the envelope. The letter itself was brief. He missed her. He was counting the days until she would be home. He loved her.
 Reading Toms letter brought lump into Ends throat. She was suddenly absurdly lonely for him. She toyed with the thought of phoning him and letting him know that she was in town.
 But could she explain the apart ment in Arlington to him, or the fact that she was hiden away like a Ioony enjoying month by her.. self? No-whether she liked 1t or not, she'd have Co let Tom believe that she was at the mine acting as secretary to Stanton.
 She felt foolish and let down.
