Many cases that might enc up in his
Office now 60 direct to Municipal Court
Criminal Division. Either Commissioner
Turnage or the judges in the criminal
division can hold man for grand jury
action, first important step toward con-
viction. The main thing is to get the
man arraigned quickly so that he can't
evade the law on technical grounds be-
fore the law actually gets going.
Prompt Action
This is vitality important because the
Supreme Court has ruled that even
voluntary confession in Federal GRIM
inal case cannot be admitted in evidence
when there Is more than "a reasonable
delay" in arraignment.
Under an 1889 law Commissioner
Turnage is paid in strange and inter-
esting manner. His authorized scale OF
fees for each legal step he takes starts
at a dime and runs up to IS. There's
plenty of bookkeeping involved with
each case having an average OF seven
steps.
For example, maybe the police want
to raid a gambling place. They go to
Commissioner Turnage and he draws a
complaint. This brings him so cents
from the Government. A search warrant
must be secured so that legal entry to
the gambling place can be made. This
nets the commissioner rs cents. He also
gets dime for issuing an affidavit to
support the warrant, Is cents when a
deputy marshal swears to its ultimate
disposition, and another dime on an af-
f1davit supporting the statement of dis
position.
The men arrested in the raid are now
brought to his Office. The commissioner
gets rs cents for taking their bond. He
also gets dime for swearing In a wit
ness. Then comes the big deal He gets
IS for hearing the case But no matter
how many other cases he hears that day.

Willard Hall

Willard Hall, which stood on the
south side of F street between Four
teenth and Fifteenth streets, site of the
western part Of the Willard Hotel on
the F street side, was erected as a Pres
byterian Church about 1907 and for
years was known as DR.. Laurie's Church.
1t was sold in 1859 to Henry A. and
Joseph c. Willard, and it was here in
February, 1861, that a peace conference
was held in hopes of preventing the
secession of the Southern States.
From the time the church was pur-
chased until it was removed 1t was
known as Willard Hall, and was used
generally for amusement purposes, in
cluding concerts Of the higher grade,
readings and lectures, though such at
fractions as Blind Tom, the Negro
pianist, popular in Washington for
years, also came here. On October ~,
1892, the hall was severely damaged by
fire, as result of spontaneous combus-
ton, so 1t was thought at the time.

Dear Mr.. Proctor:
Il was interested in your Dickens
article in last Sundays Star, and es-
pecially in your reference to the read
ing by Dickens of the Christmas Carol
on his second visit to Washington in
1868. My father took me Ca boy of 1O) to
that reading. One incident of the oc-
caSion stands out distinctly in my mem
ory. When the reformed and penitent
Scrooge tells the small boy to buy for
him the big Christmas turkey, the boy
exclaimed: 'Walk-er!' Dickens shot out
with emphasis this British slang word
of that era expressing complete and in
dignant credulity, and his sharp ex-
clamation caused a dog smuggled into
the audience to bark vigorously as If in
response. The audience laughed and
Dickens laughed with them"

0PA Officials Explain
Tighter Food Rulings
To Cafe Operators

Washington restaurant operators,
like so many housewives these days,
are concerned over what will happen
to their ration accounts.
This was underscored in questions
asked District and national Ofice
OF Price. Administration officials at
meeting of the Washington Res
taurant Association in the United
States Chamber of Commerce last
night. The meeting was called to
explain tighter rationing regulations
going into effect for institutional and
industrial food users.
In reply to the question of what
TO do with ration currency already
In ration banking accounts, officials
said leave it alone" and only use
what ration allotments are granted
by boards for the January February
period.
20 Per Cent Allotment Cut.
Restaurants for the two-month
period will take cut in rationed
foods amounting to close to 20 per
cent of allotments of the past two
months. This is in line with the
change in the rationing picture for
domestic users of food ordered
Christmas Day.
IF you have an allotment of 1O0,-
900 points for meat, it behooves you
not to spend beyond it unless your
business increases in January and
February" Douglas Boyle, food con-
sultant in the national OPA, de-
clared. To spend even one point
more than the ration, he said, is "a
violation of the program and a.
serious one"
One authority in the industry
pointed out that the apparent
hands-off theory on existing rations
in banks was designed to give whole
salers an opportunity to build up
their stocks depleted during the
period when much food was un-
rationed.
Mr.. Boyle indicated the agency
was considering action in the next
few days extending the January q
deadline for filing point inventory
of restaurants and hotels. Some
restaurateurs have complained the
hIlIlOullCclIlcIlt GlldG dill inventory DIS
of the close of business December
81 be taken and submitted by jan
uary 7 did not give them time to
comply.
Next Period Waits Inventory.
Conrad Osterman, food rationing
official of the local OPA, informed
the group that next period allot-
ments would be issued three days
after receipt of inventories.
Robert Wilson, secretary of the
restaurant group, warned operators
to be more careful on prices"
charged in restaurants and limited
that in the past several weeks some
eating places had been charging
above the base period of April, 1943.
He also asked operators ''to be
patient" with the OPA in connection
with the issuance of new food al
lotments. Washington restaurateurs
he described as ''the most patient |
people in the United States"
A special ration board to handle
problems arising out of the new
program has been set up at the
Dennison School, Thirteenth and
Allison streets NV.

Guatemala Ready 10 Offer
10000 Soldiers 10 Allies

The Guatemalan government is
prepared to offer to the Allies divi-
sion of 10000 men. Jorge Toriello, a
member of the military junta now
governing Guatemala, told American
newspapermen yesterday.
Mr.. Toriello said he planned to
offer the unit to the Allied military
command when he sees President
Roosevelt soon at the White House.
He added that he also would assure
the Chief Executive of his country's
desire to cooperate fully in the war
effort.
At recent elections in Guatemala,
Juan Jose Arevale was chosen chief
executive. Mr.. Torielle characterized
the ballot as the first true election
in Guatemala in so years"

MANY DISCHARGED
VETERANS REGISTER
WITH DRAFT BOARD

From rs to 100 discharged vet
Grams are registering weekly at
the New Hanover county draft
board, spokesman announced
yesterday.
In compliance with federal regu-
lations, all returnees must report
to the nearest Selective Service Of
flee, and have it recorded that
they have been honorably dis
charged. Most ex-servicemen are
directed to report there within 10
days to obtain a draft card bear
ing their present status. This must
be carried at all times.
The number announced today
does not include colored returnees
nor transient servicemen who
visit the local board to be cleared,
but who intend to make their per-
manent residence in another To-
cality.
Names and addresses of Will
mington men coming back are be-
ing tabulated for the American Le-
gion, which will contact them as
prospective members.
Many veterans have never been
listed with the draft board, since
they enlisted before their number
came up, but all discharged serv-
(icemen are required to notify the
nearest board, regardless. The vol
ume of returnees registering is
mounting steadily, draft clerks
noted.

ATOMIC DEFENSE
SECRET DEVISED

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 1-(P)-A de-
tense technique has been devised
against atomic bombs that is SO
simple they can be detonated with
out even knowing their exact
whereabouts, it was stated today
by Larry Crosby, head of the
Crosby Research Foundation and
brother of singer Bing Crosby.
It's very simplicity might prove
menace, Crosby said. An anna
teur experimenter might unwit.
tingly explode a store Of atomic
bombs as far away as four miles,
with catastrophe results.
Crosby declined to divulge the
basic principle of the defense. He
said the secret would be turned
over to the proper authorities only
on condition that it be used solely
to compel fair treatment of the
United States from other nations.
The Crosby Research Founda'
ton conducted preliminary ex-
periments and aided in first
atomic developments. It's scien
lists obtained the basic ingredient
Crosby said, and then turned all
data over to the government.
His statement asserted that
Foundation officials have rekutee
claims that Uranium atoms useo
in the bombs might ultimately b
harnessed for industrial uses. They
declare these atoms are far TOT
dangerous for beneficial adap
ton, it added, and other and safe
atoms are more readily available
in quantity and more suitable TO-
such purposes.

VIRGINIA PASTOR
DUE HERE NOV. |

The new executive secretary OF
the Wilmington Presbytery, the
Rev. L. A. Taylor, who was acting
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church in Newport News, Va, be-
fore accepting the position here, is
expected to assume his new duties
about Nov. l.
Rev. Taylor, who has been act
ing pastor of the Newport News
church since August, 1912, during
the military absence of the regular
pastor, will fill a position created
here last November.
The executive secretary of the
local Presbytery combines h e
duties of the superintendent Of
Home Missions with the additional
duties Of the leader of religious
education work in the Presbytery,
promoter of stewardship interests
and perhaps the work of Presby.
terry clerk and treasurer, DR.. Viii
liam Grove, Jr., minister of the
First Presbyterian church, said to-
day.
The new office was created last
year when DR.. G. A. Wilson, former
superintendent of Home Missions
resigned his post to become super
intendent of the synod of Tennes
see. The post has -~1ained vacan
since that time because the heavy
enlistment of Presbyterian min
listers in the Chaplains' Corps ha:
almost depleted the ranks, DR.
Grove said.
Rev. Taylor and his family will
reside at the Presbytery's manse a
18th and Grace streets.
The new secretary was highly
praised by DR.. Grove for his worl
at the Newport News church wher'
he was ''highly successful as al
administrator, and during his thre'
years service there as temporar,
supply minister, was instrumental
in helping to pay off the church
large debt" He went to Newpor
News from Fulton, Mo.
