Strengthening the Police

Ponce superintendent Callahan
exposed a serious weakness of the
present police coverage of Washing
ton when he reiterated previous
urgent requests of the Police Depart
ment for reorganization of the pre-
cinct setup in the eastern section
OF the city. No part Of congeSted
Washington deserves better police
service than the thickly populated
Bennlng area, yet the antiquated
precinct system in force there con-
stitutes tremendous deterrent to
effective enforcement. In the old
days, before Benning grew to it's
present stature, the police needs of
the community were relatively in
consequential and it was deemed
practicable to include the whole
area within the 18th precinct, head
quarters of which are in Anacostia.
In recent years, however, Benning
has become a thriving residential
and business section, requiring day
and night police protection of
high order. 1t is not possible to
give this type Of protection under
the remote control precinct arrange
ment now handicapping the depart
ment. Chiefs of police prior to
Major Callahan recognized this fact.
but were not successful in securing
the funds necessary to give Ben
ming its own precinct station. Major
Callahan is to be commended for con-
tlnuing the battle. His request for
an appropriation to enable him to
remove Benning from jurisdiction of
the Anacostia precinct Is given a
prominent part in the budget re-
quest for next year. He also requests
Ill additional policemen, some of
whom undoubtedly would be as
signed to the new precinct, while
others would strengthen additional
weak spots in the patrol picture.

ever, will take some years and much
machinery, food and money. In a Ger

expected that there will be great pres

presumably the United States, will have
to supply food and credit to compensate

The Saar thus throws into perspective
the complex problem of Europe, the in

necessity of American help and media

To the Editor of The Star:
1t appears to me that the western
powers are acting much as our Govern
ment would be acting, If it waited to get
the stamp of approval of all the big
and little AL Capones, before deciding
on its policy for the FBI.
Why couldn't the countries who agree
concerning the need of world police
organization get together and act?
I suggest a world FBI to control the
manufacture of instruments for mass
murder, such as atomic bombs, poison
gas, etc.
1t would do this sick world good to
see some international agreement, and
believe it would be putting first things
first. B. c. B.

Weak Administration Blamed

Weak Administration Blamed
To the Editor of The Star:
In regard to your editorial Super
secretary of State" we would have no
need for any one playing that role II
it were not for the weakling which we
have in the White House and the
bungling, incompetent administration
that is making mere pretense of gov
erning the country.
President Lincoln, speaking to the
Secretary of State, William H. Seward
said, IF it must be done, I am the one
to do it," The present occupant of the
White House perhaps would say, IF it
must be done, some one else will have
to do it," AS long as we have an ad-
ministration that is SO incompetent and
weak that it cannot govern, organiza-
tions and individuals will attempt to
do it. M. r. FURBEE.

Why Delay Desired Correction?
To the Editor of The Star:
Letters of complaint regarding low
flying planes have appeared in the
newspapers. and the Civil Aeronautics
Administration has been requested to
take action to stop the dangerous
practice. But how much time is re-
quired to order planes to fly at an
altitude that will insure safety to those
not in the air, that will spare the sick
the shock of the terrifying noise and
that will allow the rest of us to sleep
in peace? 1t ought not to take very long

Poppy Day

How the wild poppy of France and

er of Americas dead of both world
wars was described by Mrs. Leroy
Schilling, Poppy Chairman of
Ridge-Igo Unit of the American
Legion Auxiliary, as the unit went
forward with preparations for OBJ
scrvance of Poppy Day here May
18th.
Amid the desolation of the bat
tlefront in the first world war,
said Mrs. Schilling, "the poppies
were the one touch of natures
beauty that survived. The little red
flowers grew along the trenches and
shell holes, and over the raw earth
of the battle graves. In the minds
of the men fighting there, the pop
pies became associated with their
dead comrades"
