in spite of all. This we will be able
to do only because we have made
complete change in Germany since
1888.
Hundreds of thousands h ave

would be washed away by the Ash

We see now how important the
change to Naziism was.
The Soviets did not overrun Eu-
rope in 1919 only because they were
too weak then. The attempt to de-
stroy Germany did not succeed.
The early portion of Hitler's ad-
dress ran along familiar lines he
spoke in subdued tones.
"NaZiism," he said, lis the guar

is overcome only after a crisis. The
Almighty created our people. Hard
ships make us harder. There are but
few without honor All who stab the
nation in the back will be de-

It charged that Stemmer and

The defendants, through their at

innocent. Kramer asked Liebowitz
TO fix bail at $500 for each and re-
quested a quick trial.
You're entitled to a speedy trial" !"
Liebowitz replied, but what has the
district. attorney to say as TO bail?"
Assistant District Attorney Henry
Martuscello asked the court to fix
bail at $4,000 each to make sure
the defendants would not flee the
jurisdiction of the court"
HURLS CHARGES
These two defendants polluted
college boys" Martuscello told the
court. They have tried to under
mine the confidence of the public
in a game that we all love. In my
opinion, their crime is as vicious
and heinous as robbery. This case
may have such ramiiications as
would prove an incentive for these
defendants to flee the jurisdiction
of the court. Therefore, I ask that
bail be fixed at S25,000 in each
case"

The show idea is to be discussed

Another suggestion made for
boosting the number and size of

country over present food shortages
was to appoint judges in each area

would include a look at the general

Chief Sims Marks 10th Year
on Alexandria Police Force

Sims cherishes Is from the United
States Secret Service, thanking the
city 70 rthe excellent work of It's
police In protecting President Roose-
welt and Prime Minister Churchill
when they attended Christ Church
in Alexandria, January /, 1912.
The Alexandria police force now
protects a city of over 10000 with
only 46 men, Capt. Sims said, point
ing out that 20 years ago there were
80 men on the force. The force
grew to So before the draft reduced
It to its present complement with
the Office work handled by three
women. The radio system was In
troduced In the city in 1886 and In
1914 the department installed the
present FIN system.
The traffic problem Is one Of the
most difficult facing the depart
ment, Capt. Sims believes, while
wartime conditions have increased
petty crimes and drunkenness. The
captain estimates that the work of
the police has increased four or five
times in the past five years and he
expressed the opinion that the Alex
andria force has made rapid strides
in efficiency.
Capt. Sims, who lives at 1416
Cameron street, Is married and has
one son, Edgar, jr., 16, senior at
George Washington High School
and one Of the city's outstanding
athletes.
