Police Tighten Rules
On Recovered Goods
And Missing Persons

General orders intended to stand
ardize police procedure in dealing
with reports of missing and insane
persons and in handling recovered
property were issued to the force
today by Inspector Milton D. Smith,
acting executive officer.
Complete listing of items coming
into possession of police and prompt
efforts by the officers recovering
them to notify the owners was EN-.
phasized in a new manual of in
structions for handling lost and
stolen property.
I'm the past, there have been in
stances where searches have been
made in suitcases and trunks in the
presence of attorneys, committees
and administrators for estates and
valuable bonds, securities, wills and
large amounts of cash found due to
improper checking prior to submis-
sion to the property clerk" the
order noted.
Will List Each Item.
Much of this property was found
where officers made such notations
as miscellaneous papers and valu-
ableS have been found among these
papers. Henceforth, the term mis-
cellaneous papers will not be used,
but. instead, each and every item
will be listed on the property return

ual reminded policemen they were
expected to drain the radiators of
lost, stolen, abandoned or i'm
pounded motor vehicles to prevent
damage from freezing, unless they
were informed the radiators con-
tanned sufficient antifreeze solution.
Inspector Smith pointed out all
Investigations with respect to mis-
sing persons reports were to be con-
Quoted by the Missing Persons Bu-
reau, but this should not be con-
strued as relieving precinct COM
manders from the responsibility for
making routine checks within their
precincts.
Members of this department shall
not refuse any missing person report
where such report is made to them
by a person closely related to or
closely acquainted with the habits
and movements of the subject, or
person otherwise in position to JUS
tify the making of such a report"
the order directed
Descriptions on Teletype.
A detailed description of the
missing person and locations of
places he might frequent are to be
sent over the police teletype system
in each case,
The order relating to reports of
insane persons directed policemen
to use particular care in handling
cases when the person reported of
unsound mind was on private prop
erty.
1t outlined legal authority for
police action with respect to such
persons and warns:
"1f the person alleged to be
insane is quiet and peaceful in his
home, even though the officer is
there by lawful invitation, he
should not remove that person
without the necessary affidavits and
certificates. If e." the cir
cumstances justify such procedure,
the officer may suggest to relatives
or friends that If, by some pretext
thew can induce the al1aondJv ipsopo
person to accompany them onto
public space, that the officer will
take charge of the situation there" :"

Capital Transit
Union Cites Paid
Holiday Trend
Practice of Utilities
Here Listed in Bid
For Eight Days Off

Spokesman for 1000 Capital Tran
sit Co. employees seeking a IS per
cent wage increase today presented
evidence to en- arbitration board at
the Raleigh Hotel. citing that the
trend in American industry Is to
grant paid holidays, obtained
through arbitration.
In addition to the holiday issue,
the union also presented its views
on two issues-a IS per cent increase
OF all basic wage rates and reclassi-
fication of certain groups OF en-
ployes to bring them into higher
wage bracket.
The union, which has spent most
OF the week presenting its case,
expected to finish late today or early
next week.
The union is asking eight paid
holidays a year, New Year, Wash
ington's Birthday, Memorial Day,
Independence Day, Labor Day,
Armistice Day, Thanksgiving and.
Christmas. They now receive no
paid holidays.
Utilities Cited.
Employees who do not work on
these holidays would be paid straight
time for a minimum of eight hours
under the union plan. If they work,
straight time would be paid for work
done plus holiday pay.
In addition, the union asks that
in computing weekly overtime, such
holidays, or the days set aside for
their observance If they fall on a
Sunday, be considered as days
worked, even though no work be
actually performed.
Eli L. Oliver, union spokesman.
placed in evidence information con-
corning holiday practice in various
industries, including Washington
public utilities. It was pointed out
that the Washington Gas Light Co.
employees get eight hours pay at
straight time for eight holidays, and
time and a half in addition If they
work.
The Potomac Electric Power Co..
which pays for eight holidays, pays
double time for eight hours on holi-
days, the board was told. After eight
hours, pay is at time and a half, it
was pointed out and, If the holiday
falls on an employees regular day
of, he gets no pay for the holiday,
unless he works.
Cleanup Time" Asked.
The Chesapeake & Potomac Tele-
phone Co., it was shown, pays for
eight holidays a year, and every
fourth year, ninth one-Inaugura-
ton Day. Employees are paid for the
normal daily tour if they work, get
ting the basic hourly rate plus holi-
day pay. The telephone company
also gives 20 per cent of its opera
tors and service assistants the day
on on Christmas, the board was told.
For incorporating employees of the
mechanical and way and structures
departments, the union Is asking is
minutes with pay as cleanup time"
at the end Of the workday. This, 1t
contends, should be included In COM
putting the eight-hour day and 40
hour week.
William A. Purdy, a shop steward,
said an employe needs 20 to rs
minutes to clean up his machine,
tools and himself and shift into
street clothes. The company now
grants no cleanup time and the
employe pays the cost of laundering
his coveralls, he explained.

is the annual birthday party. Then
she relives the days when her works
made her one OF the most popular
figures in London and on the Con-
tinent.
Days when George Bernard Shaw,
a vegetarian like her, remarked her
statues "were not images but peo-
pie" Days when Rome's great sculp-
tor, Giulio Monteverde, took the
young Illinois farm girl as his only
pupil.
Her greatest achievement, a
marble impression of suffrage lead
ers Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady
Stanton and Susan B. Anthony,
stands in the Capitol. Purchased
several years ago by the National
Women's Party, it was presented to
the Government after what Mrs.
johnson termed much wrangling
because those men didn't want q
statue Of suffrage leaders In the
Capitol"
Those men," Mrs. johnson add
ed, "just don't want any women
marble or real-up there "puttering
around. Men can be trusted just so
far. Beyond a certain point-watch
out.
But God made them that way.
SO they're not to be blamed" she
added.
Catalogues Memoirs.
She Is spending her days now
cataloging all her manuscripts and
memoirs. Several times each day
she slips downstairs to brush off
the original busts of the three tenn
perance leaders which served as
models for the group in the Capitol.
These are real people to me-" she
murmured, as her hands lovingly
fondled the statues. II couldn't
part with them for anything. They
are part of me-"
The indomitable artist, whose in
dependence has never wavered de-
spite privation, disappointment and
disillusion, busted off her last statue
and gave last admiring glance to
the room where the reception. was
to be held.
Although the floor was rugless and
the table on which the cake was to
rest was a makeshift affair at best,
Mrs. johnson was prepared to hold
court in as regal a manner as in
the days when people focked to
her salon.

stage a tug-of-war between
Elmwood and Lakeview

the rope which parted rather
suddenly in the middle!

had selected "Sunshine in the
Soul" and "Saved by Grace"
which he directed in his ex-
pressive manner.
Cliff LaBelle read the Scrip
ture lesson for the evening"
I Peter, Chapter 5.
After the evenings offer
ing had been received, Clifford
Peterson, chairman, asked Ell
der Leland Barton to sing a
solo. He selected the piece
"Still Undecided" Before he
began singing he asked the
audience to especially note
the words.
After the singing of the
hymn "Have Thine Own Way
Lord" Elder Barton gave the

altogether different and more
intimate manner than usually
presented.
