Seaman SIushes
Red Tape to Go to
France and Wed

Seaman 1/c Normand C. NORM
was all set today to become BRIDE
groom in France after winning a
red tape battle involving two gov
ernments.
Mr.. NORM, who came from North
Adams, Mass, is going to France to
marry Miss Jeanne Barkarcic,
Yugoslav newspaperwoman now liv-
ing in Nice.
The way was cleared for him yes
terday when the Navy told him he
could leave the country on 30-day
furlough beginning when he set foot
on French soil. The State Depart
ment gave him a passport and the
French Embassy gave him visa.
He plans to leave on a Navy trans
port plane from Patuxent, Md, early
next week, marry his sweetheart in
Nice and bring her back to this
country.
The couple had planned to be mar
ried in North Adams, but Miss Bar
karcic could not get passport from
the Yugoslav government and French
officials wouldn't let her leave the
country without it. AS the wife of
an American, that situation will
be changed.

Two Tell Trial Board
Policeman Had No
Warrant for Entry

Police Pvt. Edward J. Long, jr.,
entered their home unannounced
and without a warrant and ar
rested them on a charge Of dis
orderly conduct, two compliments
testified today at a Police Trial
Board hearing.
Pvt. Long of the 18th precinct is
on trial for conduct unbecoming an
officer growing out of the arrest
October II of Mr.. and Mrs. Nicholas
3oxwell of IA R street NE, and
their brother-in-law, James Clark,
222 E street NE.
Also in the home at the time were
Mr.. Clark's wife and Mrs. Boxwell's
sister, Martha w. Clark, and guest,
Claude w. Hale, none of whom was
arrested. The charges Of disorderly
conduct against the arrested trio
later were dismissed by Municipal
Judge Almond w. Scott.
Said He Had No Warrant.
Mr.. Boxwell testified today that
when Pvt. Long entered the kitchen
where the group was gathered, Mrs.
Boxwell asked him if he had COM
plant or a warrant. The policeman
answered in the negative, the wit
ness said. The policeman said he
had heard loud talking, cursing and
crying and had decided to enter the
house, he added.
When Mr.. Clark refused to &C
company the policeman, Pvt. Long
left and brought back a number of
other policemen, one of whom
knocked and was admitted by the
front door while Pvt. Long came in
through the back door, Mr.. Box
well said.
Mrs. Boxwell testified that Pvt.
Long told her she had too much
lip" and would take her along, too.
Meanwhile Police Inspector Glenn
ent E. Cox, one of the trial board
members, commented during another
hearing that too much crime of all
kinds is going on in the city to allow
policemen to regard sleeping on the

rules.
Found in Union Station.
He made the statement in a hear
ing of charges against Police Pvt.
Raymond E. Fuge Of the first pre-
cinct, accused of failing to patrol his
beat and failing to communicate

the police room at Union Station
early on the day after Halloween.
Sergt. Fletcher went out to look
for Fuge when the precinct had
been without word from the officer
for two hours.
Fuge explained to the board that
the extra hours of duty imposed
on all members of the force dur
ing Halloween and the extra work

Facsimile the process which
grinds a newspaper out of a radio
receiver in the home-will be avail
able in many cities in about a year,
w. G. H. Finch, one Of the develop
ers of the process, predicted today.
He said the time at which fac
smile receivers reach the market in
quantity depended on when the Fed
eral Communications Commission
acted on technical standards pro-
posed by equipment manufacturers.
The sets probably will be OF a type
capable of receiving text and pic
lures on letter-size pages, both in
black-and-white and full color, Mr..
Finch told the National Association
of Radio News Directors at its con-
vention in the Mayhower Hotel.
Competition for Weeklies.
Facsimile never would try to dup
licate entirely the features Of daily
newspaper because OF
the amount of paper required, he
said. Weekly news magazines tand
weekly newspapers, however, even
tually may experience stiff competi-
ton from the new medium, he sug-
gested.
The inventor and operator Of a
New York frequency meditation
broadcasting station using facsimile
experimentally said the facsimile
would present brief news
feature material and many
pictures. He added he envisioned
the system, also, as blackboard
in the home" permitting illustra-
ton of educational talks while they
were being presented by sound
broadcasts.
Combination Set Costs $4,000.
Mr.. Finch said his firm had pro-
duced experimentally combination
standard broadcasting, FIN and Fac
sinile receiver at a cost Of $3.50, and
was hoping to develop combina-
ton sound-and-facsimile set for
quantity production at $3.50. He en-
phasized the latter would be impos-
sible, however, if production costs
continued to rise.
The paper used in the home cost
So a hundred feet for the sensitized
type, but a system using ordinary
paper has brought that item down to
80 cents hundred feet, he said.
Mr.. Finch said any operator of an
FIN station could be Gin the facsimile
business" at cost Of 81 $50 for adj
ditional equipment.
In addition to the Finch system,
