Barrett Urges
MoreAid toFire,
Police Widows
SIS Pension Increase
Asked for Survivors
In Both Departments

Police Supt. Robert j. Barrett pro-
posed today that pensions to widows
and orphans of Police and Fire De-
parment members be increased by
more than two-thirds.
Citing the increased cost of living,
Maj. Barrett asked the Commission
ers to place legislation to this effect
before the next session of Congress.
Commissioner John Russell Young
declared himself in favor of the
idea and promised to put it before
the other Commissioners at their
board meeting Monday.
Under the new plan, widows of
policemen or firemen who die from
natural causes would get a maxi
mum of 500 a month. On scale
established in 1923, they now re-
eeive not more than $50
Would Give Orphans SIS.
Pensions to orphaned children,
under Maj. Barrett's proposal, would
be increased from $40 a month
to $25.
Maj. Barrett also called for spe-
cial pension of s125 a month for the
widows of Police and Fire Depart
ment members who die on active
duty.
The superintendent pointed out
his department has had six such
cases since 1943.
" THE additional amount of $25 In
such cases would serve as recogni-
tion Of the bravery or heroism of the
lost husbands, which is little conso-
lation when the breadwinner of the
family Is suddenly taken away
Maj. Barrett wrote in a memoran-
dunn to Mr.. Young" He added:
Such cases have invoked the SYM
pathy OF the public and have re-
suited in public contributions for the
families. The response in these
cases has been generous, but Ger
tainly not consistent with the pro-
visions of the law for the welfare of
widows and orphans"
Salary Increases Noted.
At a press conference at police
headquarters, Maj. Barrett said the
PSAAoAOA1 DOlluo 1Ol Lille OF QuCy
deaths should put an end to the
necessity of public collections in
these cases.
The police superintendent de-
clared, in his memorandum, that
there have been five increases in
police salaries since 1923, while the
pension rate has remained the same.
In that period, he wrote, the pay of
a top-grade private has been in
creased from $1,666 a year to $3,39S.
1.-The justification for the last
salary increases seems to have been
to offset the rise in the cost of liv-
ing" Maj. Barrett said. "Yet no pro-
vision has been made for widows and
orphans. 1t becomes necessary for
widows to seek employment to
supplement their pensions in order
to live-in many instances being
handicapped by ill health or age"
Maj. Barret said he thought his
proposal would have the support of
business and citizens groups as we'll
as that Of all members of the Police
and Fire Departments.
Before 1928, pensions for Police
and Fire Department widows were
$35 a month. They were raised to
$50 in that year.

New j. ). Body
To Rule Utilities
In Area Sought
Prince Georges Group
Objects to Increases
In Fares, Rates

The establishment of a Federal
commission to regulate public utility
services and rates within a 25-mile
radius Of Washington was proposed
last night at a meeting of the
Prince Georges County Civic Fed
Grafton.
A resolution which would grant
the commission full authority in the
utility field, irrespective of District
and State boundaries, was offered in
the wake of the Capital Transit Co.
announcement that it will seek ad-
ditional fare increases.
The resolution was held over for
discussion and possible action at the
December meeting, but the fedora
ton meanwhile went on record with
strong objection to any increa. IS in
fares and rates, and to zone changes
1t charged that the public had not
received fair consideration in pub
lie utility demands for higher trans
portation, electricity, gas and tele-
phone charges.
Maryland Plea Planned.
The federation adopted a recon-
mendation of Louis A. Day, Rogers
Heights. that the Maryland Public
Service Commission be called upon
to deny requests for rate increases
by Capital Transit, the Chesapeake
& Potomac Telephone Co., the Po-
tomac Electric Power Co. and the
Washington Gas Light Co.
Under terms of the resolution for
Metropolitan Area commission, the
Federal Power Commission, the In
terstate Commerce Commission and
the Securities and Exchange Com
mission would be authorized to form
a three-member board to regulate
the utilities.
The federation, which met in the
Prince Georges County Service
Building at Hyattsville, reiterated
its advocacy of land purchase for
flood control and set in motion ma
chinery for passage of a major con-
stitutional amendment.
The proposed amendment would
empower the Executive Committee
to be sole judge of membership
qualifications. The suggestion will
be considered at the next meeting
1t was advanced, President Walter
F. Mulligan said, to avert problems
such as that confronting the Wash
ington Federation of Citizens Asso-

the Jewish people overseas.
One cannot speak earnestly of
rehabilitating the devasted lives
of those Jews, if he does not give
them material and economic help,
thereby bolstering their morale
and strengthening their spirit.
A dress, a pair of shoes, blan-
ket, a shirt, a coat, a towel, a
sheet, undergarments = these are
the most basic needs, without
them, it is not possible to con-
tinue existing.
A representative of the Jewish
Peoples Fraternal Order will call
upon the merchants of Jackson

humane cause. Anyone wishing to
contribute new clothing please
