Police 10 Modernize
PAPER Work in Move
To End Dup|ications
Accident Investigation
Setup to Be Discussed
By Miller and Barrett

The first major change in the
Police Departments paper work
was ordered today as part of a
move to eliminate antiquated
and duplicating orders dating
back Is years.
In another development, Traffic
Director Arthur E. Miller disclosed he
will confer with Police Supt. Robert
j. Barrett Monday to 60 over the en-
tire setup Of the Accident Investi-
CATION Unit and to determine If
more investigators are needed to
handle the Districts rising trafic
toll.
The two general orders issued to
the force today are the first product
of a special board set up by Maj.
Barrett to review all orders issued
since 1923 and to rescind those that
no longer apply and incorporate
others in new orders.
The board has started by setting
up a new filing system in the pre-
cincts for indexing and filing police
orders and other correspondence as
we'll as data on personnel.
System Called More Efficient.
Inspector Walter H. Thomas, as
sistant superintendent and executive
officer, said the new system will be
more efficient and will make it
easier for policemen to find any
item they seek in the files. He said
the system will eliminate som paper
work because it is simpler than the
old filing methods.
The second order deals with use
of new forms to be filled out IN
transcribing the police records of
persons asking the court to be re-
leased on bond. That order re-
scinds eight previous orders on the
subject. sd
Inspector Thomas estimated It
will take at least six months for
Mai. Barrett's orders of prede-
cessors over the past Is years to be
reviewed. The orders issued today,
he said, are the first of many new
orders streamlining instructions is
sued over a quarter century.
With Inspector Thomas on the
special board are Capt. Walter T.
Storm of the 18th precinct, Capt.
Beverly Beach of the seventh pre-
cinct, Capt. George Wallrodt of the
third precinct and District Inspec-
tor Ira E. Keck.
Will Study Entire Setup.
Meanwhile, Inspector Miller said
he had asked for the conference
with Maj. Barrett to discuss the
entire question of accident investi-
CATION and to find out out how hit
and-run accidents particularly will
be handled.
During the summer, the Accident
Investigation Unit has lost two in
vestigators and the four men on
the hit-and-run squad have been
ordered to return to motorcycle
duty. One of the two investigators,
now back on scout car work, how
ever, had been assigned to investi-
cations while on light duty and was
not classed as a regular investigator

Rarrladier Wins

By the Associated Press

PARIS, Sept. 5.-Premier Pau
Ramadier won a vote of conf
dence in the National Assembly
today, but the hite-beardeo
leader was considering resignine
nevertheless, cabinet ministers
said.
The vote was 292 for the motor
of confidence, and 243 against
However, there were so abstentions
Associates said Mr.. Ramadier hac
to decide whether the vote was
strong enough to support his leader
ship, in view of the country's
economic troubles and imminent
international negotiations.
A cabinet meeting was scheduled
tonight.
The Assembly, giving Mr.. Ramad-
ier his fifth expression of confidence
since he became premier in January,
approved the governments program
of subsidies for the coal industry.
The Communists and a sprinkling
of Rightest and Centrist deputies
formed the opposition to the meas
ure, which authorized the govern
ment to grant 4,550,00O,000 francs
($38, 100000 in subsidies to hold
down prices in the coal industry.
Labor Still Disconnected.
Although the threat of govern
ment crisis was thus eased, labor
still was agitating politically against
the soaring cost of living.
Union leaders were far from con-
tent with the recent cut in the bread
ration, skyrocketing food prices, and
official statistics putting living costs
10 times higher than in 1888.
So they called a one-hour halt
in Paris bus and subway services
this afternoon. Postoff1ces will close
two hours early and remain shut
until tomorrow morning.
Caretakers of national cemeteries,
most of them disabled veterans, also
were on strike for higher pay.
Backed by Own Party.
Mr.. Ramadier's apparent political
victory came after his own party
voted to support him in the con-
fidence balloting, which the Premier
had posed on his request for $685.
500 900 in government subsidies for
the coal industry.
When left-wing factionists swung
to his support at five-hour party
war council last night, Mr.. Rama
dier could count himself in, for
Foreign Minister Georges Bidault's
MRP Party had previously pledged
its backing.
The threat of a cabinet crisis
arose for a time when left-wing
Socialists, led by Deputy Guy Mol
let, threatened to withdraw their
support of Mr.. Ramadier unless the
Premier pledged sterner govern
ment control of commerce, business
and industry.
Last night the parliamentary
group of the Socialist Party decided
after a five-hour session to support
Mr.. Ramadier on the vote of con-
fidence.
The assembly Tuesday night beat
down Mr.. Ramadiers demand for a
$23 3,52S, 900 steel price subsidy and
the Premier Immediately determined
to peg his coal subsidy demands to
a vote of confidence. He contends
that without subsidies coal prices
will rise and be followed by general
price increases of IS per cent in all
industries. The effect in the end, he
said, would be runaway imitation.

U. S. Is Determined

He Tells Legislators
(Tert on Page A-10.)
By Joseph A. Fox
Sfor Stoff Correspondent

RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept. S.
President Truman told the Bra
lillian Congress today that the
United Nations early difficulties
have not discouraged us, but on
the contrary have increased our
determination that it shall sue
ceed."
''The United States is resolved to
support the United Nations with all
the resources at our command" he
said at Tiradentes Palace in his sec
ond speech this week on Brazilian
soil.
Much of the 2,000-word address
which the President had been pre-
pairing the last two days dealt with
the good relations that have always
existed between the United States
and Brazil, how their ideals have
conceded and how they could work
together for better world.
I'VE are in a period in which
Brazil and the United States must
continue to cooperate with their
sister nations of the Western Hemi-
sphere in the development of a
strong and concerted force for the
good of mankind" he said.
Permanent Partnership.
Mr.. Truman hailed as splendid"
the achievement of the recent Inter
American Conference for mutual
defense of the hemisphere. He said
the conference would go down in
history as a tremendously import
ant milestone toward outlawing
force in international relations and
the establishment of law and order.
Stressing the fact that the United
States is still in its infancy, Mr..
Truman said "it will take stead
fastness of purpose, unremitting toll
and infinite patience to achieve our
goal"
The United Nations is not a
temporary expedient," he declared.
1T is permanent partnership
among the peoples of the world for
their common peace and common
well<being."
Mr.. Truman emphasized the need
for cooperation among Western
Hemisphere nations In helping war
torn areas.
zone of the great lessons we have
learned in recent generations is that
we do not dwell alone" he continued.

sion in other parts of the world con-
front us as never before. Our ma

out the war, but we have been
spared the wanton destruction and
dislocation suffered by many"
Agreement.
Recalling a recent exchange of
correspondence with Pope Plus XII,
the President said he had expressed
to the Pope his desire ito do every
thing in my power to support and
contribute to a concert of all the
forces striving for a moral world"
II believe in making that state
ment I spoke the thought not only
of my own country but of Brazil as
we'll"
Mr.. Truman said Brazil and the
United States had learned that be-
cause there is agreement between us
upon the fundamental principles of
justice and equity, we can face our
common problems with an assurance
of agreement upon the ways and
means of solving those problems. "
