Police Beating Probe
To Close Wednesday

Chief of Detectives Floyd A. Trus.
colt said today his investigation Of
reported police brutality against
Julius w. Clegg, 20, will be com.
pleted Wednesday.
Inspector Truscott explained COM
pletion of the report had been de-
layed by absence of one of the wit
nesses on military leave. The in
vestigation centers on a complaint
filed early this month that Mr.
Clegg was picked up as a suspect
kept in custody for "a hours with
out charges, and beaten by two
detectives.
The question of police brutality
was discussed on the Americans
All program over Station WWDC
last night. Woody L: Taylor, Wash
ington Afro-American columnist,
expressed the conviction that If
Police Supt. Robert J. Barrett laid
down a hard and fast rule now,
stating that citizens shall not be
promiscuously beaten, many cases
of police brutality can easily be
avoided"
Tomlinson D. Todd, president Of
the Institute of Race Relations and
Robert L. Taylor, editor of the
Washington edition of the Pitts
burgh Courier. both contended that
if District citizens had the vote,
police brutality and other intoler-
able conditions could be quickly
eradicated.

DC. Income Of $3.50
Per Capita Topped by
0n|y2 States in 1916

The per capita income in the Dis
trict in 1916 was 81 ,569-higher than
that of any of the States except
Nevada and New York and 1869
higher than the Nations average,
the Commerce Department reported
today.
For the Nation. the average in
come for each man, woman and
child was 81 200 last year, more than
double the $575 income per capita
in 1910 and 9 per cent higher than
in 1945.
Nevada, as it usually does, headed
the list with a $1,703 average. New
York had 1888; California, 1881;
New Jersey, $l,494; Delaware, ST.
493; Illinois, 81 ,486, and Connect
cut, $1,465.
The total income paid to in
dividuals last year-including wages,
dividends, interest, rents, social Sc
curity benefits, relief, pensions and
incomes from farms and other I'M
incorporated businesses - totaled
S169, 900 100000 The 1945 total was
sl55, Ooo, 100000.
Bank Earnings Hit Peak.
In another reflection of new highs
in the Nations finances, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corp. reported
that the insured banks of the coun-
try chalked up the highest earnings
on record in 1916. The report
warned. however, that the banks
capital cushion has declined to ar
alarming extent" !
The big rise In farm income last
year gave these States the greatest
percentage increase in total income
in 1916: Iowa, u per cent; Mon
tana, 20 per cent; Minnesota. 10 pei
cent; Wyoming, II per cent; North
Carolina, 16 per cent, and Missouri
IS per cent.
Most strikingly revealed" the
report said, sis the concentration
of low-income States in the South.
Mississippis $555 was the lowest
per capita income, and all IS of the
Southern States were among the
16 States with the lowest averages
West Virginia, in the Middle East
ern group, was the 18th.
Wartime Highs Exceeded.
In Florida, Louisiana and Missis-
sippi, where income payments did
not rise, and in most States where
the gain was well below the aver
age, the lag was attributed to the
curtailment of some war activities
such as shipbuilding or aircraft
production
In the defense and war years
1910 through 1945 the. biggest in
creases were concentrated in the
South and West where munitions
industries and military payments
showed up strongly. In New Eng
land and the Middle East income
expansion Jagged in that period
In 1916, as peacetime pursuits re-
covered, the movement reversed.
In almost all States, however, per
capita income last year exceeded
wartime highs, and in three-fourths
of the States the per capita income
was at least double the 1910 level.

Mr.. Nelson said today both trade
groups are receiving enthusiastic
support from many of more than
5000 cities and towns along the
route.
The trade board here plans to
work in cooperation with chambers
of commerce at Richmond and
Pittsburgh to mark the Washing
ton approaches on the Northern
and Southern routes.
In approving "Skyway No. l"
at request of the trade bodies, CAA
Administrator T. P. Wright speci-
FLED the markers must consist of
the name of the town, the degrees
and minutes of latitude and longi-
tude on either side of an arrow
pointing north, symbol giving di-
rection and distance to the next
airport, and the skyway Insignia
a pair of wings with No. l in the
center
1900 Airports on Course.
Private flyers who have been over
the route estimate that up to $500
airports suitable for personal planes
lie along the course. Mr.. Nelson
pointed out that one of the most
serious accident hazards facing the
private pilot is the possibility of
getting lost on cross country flights
through lack of markers pointing
to the nearest airports.
Sponsors of the project believe
that once the No. Skyway is ade-
quately marked it will serve as a
model for other skyways- whose
completion will stimulate cross
country travel in light airplanes.
In writing to the trade groups. Mr.
Wright called the proposed Skyway
"a splendid project. We wish you
every success and assure you of
the cooperation of the CAA in
every way possible IN carrying out
the plans.
The west-bound survey flight will
leave Washington on September Is,
and is scheduled to arrive in Los
Angeles two days later.

Get Jobs Back
Civilian Work Rights
Kept if Veterans Join
Again Within go Days

Servicemen who re-enliSt In the
armed forces within 80 days after
their discharge do not lose their
rights for reinstatement to their
civilian jobs, the Labor Department
said today.
The ruling came from Robert K.
Salyers, director of the Veterans
Unemployment Rights Division Of
the department. 1t establishes a
policy contrary to the position
taken by selective Service System
which handled veterans re-employ-
ment rights prior to last April.
Mr.. Salyers emphasized that
these rights hold even though the
veterans have not, during the in
term between discharge and re-
enlistment, applied for reinstate-
ment to their former jobs. The new
policy follows an opinion rendered
by William S. Tyson, solicitor for
the Labor Department, Mr.. Salyers
said.
The selective. Service System took
the position that person who was
Internationally discharged from
the armed forces and thereafter
re-enlisted relinquished his re-
employment rights unless he had
secured reinstatement in his former
position prior to his re-enlistment.
Mr.. Salyers said the new policy
holds that the unemployment rights
are not sacrificed Notwithstanding
the failure of the person to apply
for restoration to his former job,
provided his re-enlistment is effec-
tive within 80 days after his dis
charge from the armed forces.
The determining factor is
whether the continuity of the vet
Grams unemployment right remains
unbroken," he said. 1T Is our
opinion that inasmuch as the vet
eran has right to restoration to
his former position which is in ex-
istence during the period of his
military service and so days there
after, this right can be defeated
only if the veteran permits the 90
day period to expire without having
applied for restoration.
"A enlistment prior to the ex-
piration of this period provides
such a continuity of his right to
restoration as to entitle him to ex-
ercise such right after the compile
ton of his re-enlistment," he added.
Mr.. Salyers pointed out, however,
that the veteran loses his re-employ-
ment rights if he delays re-enlisting
until more than 80 days after his
discharge and does not within that
period apply for his old job.
