Bill 10 Reinstate Two
Detectives Opposed
By Commissioners
Insist Brodie and Murray,
Convicted Of Bribery,
Are Unfit for Jobs

The Commissioners today asked
Congress to kill the Mcmillan bill
which calls for the reinstatement on
the Metropolitan Police Force Of
former Headquarters Detectives Her.
bert E. (Steve) Brodie and Leo (Nix
Murray, who were dismissed in 1910
following conviction on a bribery
charge by special police trial board.
The Commissioners opinion of the
bill was sent to Chairman Randolph
of the House District Committee
after it had been checked at the
Budget Bureau. No objections was
made to the proposed statement of
the views of the city heads.
The Commissioners told the House
Committee that after the trial
board had found the men guilty and
recommended dismissal, an appeal
was taken to the Board of Com
missioners which sustained the find
ings and ordered the men dismissed.
Thereafter, the case was reviewed
by the District Court, which held
there was sufficient evidence to sus-
tain the finding of guilt, and still
later the case was taken to the
United States Court of Appeals
where the action of the lower court
was affirmed.
THE Commissioners are of the
opinion that Brodie and Murray
were guilty of the charges against
them and that their conduct was
such as to render them unfit to
serve as policemen" the report said.
THE Commissioners also are of
the opinion that to reinstate men on
the police force who have been con-
victed Of such grave charges would
seriously affect the good order and
discipline of the police force"

Judge 10 Act Today
On Getting Counsel
For Clatterbuck
Defendant Pleads
Not Guilty to Five
First-Degree Charges
Special Dispatch to The Star,


LEESBURG, Va, June 15.-Judge
j. r. H. Alexander was to consult
today with relatives of Thomas w.
Clatterbuck as to whether it would
be necessary for the court to ap-
point counsel for the 33-year- -old
quarryman who is to be tried June 80
in the killings of A. Morris Love,
Mrs. Love and their son and the
hired man on the Love farm, WAL
ter Russell, and his wife. He
pleaded not guilty yesterday to five
charges of first-degree murder
Clatterbuck was in a second floor
cell in the Loudoun County Jail
here today. He had been kept in
the Jail at Winchester since his
arrest. Authorities feared local re-
sentiment over the slayings might
become violent. However, all was
quiet at the jail today and little
public curiosity was in evidence
over the new inmate.
At the Jail it was said that Clat-
terbuck was quiet prisoner and was
still reading his Bible at times.
His only visitor was one of his
brothers, 1t was said.
When arraigned in the courtroom
to hear the charges against him
Clatterbuck pleaded not guilty to
the indictment as written, stating
that he did not commit the crimes
deliberately. AS each of the sepa-
rate indictments were read to him
he pleaded, Il am guilty of killing
them, but I didn't mean to do it."
Clatterbuck was not represented
by counsel, but spoke up to give his
plea Of not guilty to the charge that
he deliberately Stayed the five per-
sons.
Judge Alexander asked Clatter-
buck If he had arranged for coun-
sci to represent him, and when
Clatterbuck replied negatively he
told the prisoner that he would dis
cuss the matter with his (Clatter-
buck'S relatives and would see what
could be done.

Life-Saving Vaccine.
AS creator of the spotted fever
vaccine, Dr. Spencer has been
credited with saving hundreds of
lives every year of persons who have
been infected by tick carriers of the
disease.
In working out the vaccine, DR..
SDNYfcer decided that as ticks car.
ried the malady. they also should
be able to inoculate against it. He
tried ground-up ticks on guinea
pigs, and when they lived through
the inoculations, he then tried the
tick juice" on himself.
In 1924 DR.. Spencer was the only
person who had been inoculated
with the ground-up ticks. In 1925
"a persons volunteered to receive

Commissioners
Seek Funds for
Civilian Defense
Offer Congress Plan
To Finance Work
Of Wur-Aid Groups

With the approval of the Federal
Budget Bureau, the Commissioners
today forwarded to Congress a pro-
posed amendment to the District
Blackout Act which would provide
of1icial recognition and financing for
the civilian defense Civilian War
Services program.
Announcement of their plan to
seek such legislation was made about
a week ago by the city heads as a
result Of negotiation with represent
atives of civic groups which have
been sponsoring various non-protec-
tive civilian defense activities not
included in the District Civilian De-
fense Department.
In letter of transmittal to Chair
man McCarran of the Senate Dis
trict Committee, the Commissioners
said experience had showed that
certain protective activities, to
be carried on by volunteer personnel,
are desirable. They added:
Activities Enumerated.
Among such protective ac-
tivities might be enumerated the
war savings program, the salvage
collection program, the victory gar
den program, the program of con-
servation of gasoline and rubber by
adoption Of group riding and other
plans to reduce the use of motor
vehicles, together with other activi-
ties Of the same general nature, all
Of which have been denominated
civilian war services. Large num-
bers Of volunteers can act more ef-
fectively when their activities are
co-ordinated."
The bill would authorize the Com
missioners to expend up to $25 900 a
year from the blackout fund for the
volunteer activities under the Civil
ian War Services, which would be
operated by volunteer war services
board, under the supervisory control
OF the Board of Commissioners, but
not as unit Of the District Civilian
Defense Department.
Proposed Amendment.
The amendment to the Blackout
Act would read
During the existence of a state
OF war between the United States
and any foreign country or nation.
the Commissioners of the District OF
Columbia are authorized to expend.
in their discretion, from the money
authorized by section 9 of this act
to be borrowed, for personal services,
supplies and other expenses in con-
nection with the coordination of
nonprotective volunteer civilian
services. not exceeding 5000 per
year"

Roughly the main highway is the
