Marine Charged in Theft

Rex Earl Shaffer, 20, Marine, sta

with theft of rings and bracelets

The guard, Joseph P. Eaglin, 80,

heard the crash of glass and looked
across the street to see a man, whom
he identified as Shaf1er, breaking

mittee pointed out that salaries OF
guards not only were below those
paid policemen and others engaged
In similar work. but at least one
grade below those paid in the Fed
eral prison system.
Competent jail personnel should
be upgraded and the incompetent
dismissed" the committee said.
Shortsighted Planning.
while the plan and structure of
the jail are no real excuse for the
escapes" 1t added, ut was nonethe-
less true that the Jail is the result Of
shortsighted. hodge-pod planning,
and failure to make repairs and
strengthen weak points which were
or should have been obvious"
The subcommittee said it felt
strongly "in regard to obstacles
placed in the way Of the eficient
operation not only of the penal in
stitutions, but Of the Metropolitan
Police, by misunderstanding and
misconception Of the functions OF
the Civil Service Commission" It
was added:
while your committee appre-
ciates the value Of the protection
Of the. individual under the civil
service laws Of the Nation, it can
not escape the fact that the most
enicient and effective police force
In the world today is the Federal
Bureau Of Investigation, which Is
not hampered by the restrictions
Of civil service"
Competent Guards Stressed.
It was held that the head OF the
police department should have full
authority to select the most com.
petent men he could get.
IN submitting this report" il
was added, your committee in nj
way desires to reflect upon ths
splendid civic service being rem
dered by the civic-conscious citizens
who comprise the Board of Publ,
Welfare. The testimony before tn,
committee showed that not on,

therefore that while their desires
and motives are undoubtedly O.
the highest and certainly most laud'
able, they cannot be expected Il
be experts In . field of endeavol
in which they have had no previ
GUS experience"
The Commissioners were criticized
for not expediting the disposition
of charges against Mr.. Gill, which
have contributed a great deal t.
the overall picture of confusion
which exists" The report added
''The delay by the Commissioner
was most unfortunate and con
tributed in no small measure Il
the general confusion"
The emergency appropriate,
which the subcommittee suggeste,
would be used to build a wire fenc,
about the Jail and at least two guar,
towers and to make a number O
other structural improvements. Al
automatic alarm and internal tele
phone system would be part Of tn
program.

the round trip is about 140 miles.
Each highway traverses his

Without awk1Dard pauses amid

along No. z betUeen Washington

Going over Chain Bridge and onto
Virginia State highway No. 1913. the
motoring party en- route to Win
chester comes upon its first State
historical marker at the south end
Of the bridge. Encountered daily
by thousands of Washington work

by Sunday pleasure riders, this
familiar sign reads: "Clay and Ran

and John Randolph of Roanoke
fought duel April 8, 1926. Ran
dolph had called Clay a 'Blackleg'
in speech. Both men were unhurt
but Randolph's coat was pierced by
a bullet"
At Tysons Corner the driver turns
onto State highway No. running
northwestward toward Winchester.
At Dranesville is marker T-37,
