the reporter covering it. The scru-
tiny by the city editor, the swift
editing and headlining at the horse

patch by pneumatic tube to the CON-
posing room are shown.

Coyle describes, the mechanical pro-
cess by which the words reach the
presses-the setting in type. line

First Of 400 Emp|oye!
Of Inferior Agency
Returning Today

A small advance guard of the more
than 400 employees of three Interior
Department agencies returning to
Washington after five years of Off
cial "banishment" in Chicago is due
tosarrive today by rail-singly and
in groups.
Today's arrivals are expected to
number %, the first of about 1876
clerks of the Bureau of Indian Af-
fairs who will be drifting back to the
National Capital all this week. They
will be followed in successive weeks
by the work staffs of the National
Park Service and Fish and Wlldlife
Service.
An official housing committee has
set up headquarters for today in the
lobby of the Everett Hotel, 1870 H
street NV, to extend a welcome
as we'll as assistance. Headed by
Parry T. McCurdy of the Indian Bu-
reau, the committee was on duty at
the hotel yesterday afternoon but
no arrivals were reported.
The housing committee organized
at the Interior Department has
representative from each of the
three agencies and number of vol
unteer assistants. A similar COM
mittee was set up in Chicago to &C
quaint employees with conditions in
Washington and to forward appli-
cations for housing.
Charles S. Cook of the Fish and
Wildlife Service and T. T. Smith OF
the National Park Service are the
two other active members of tht
committee.
! Mr.. McCurdy, who arrived from
Chicago ahead of the group, sale
yesterday about rs per cent OF the
married clerks are leaving theil
families in Chicago until they lease
or buy homes here. The housing
committee has arranged temporary
and permanent residence quarters
for about 20 per cent of the total
number returning. Some owned
homes here when the services were
transferred to Chicago in June OF
1912 and had leased them to fellow
employees.

dormitory project across the Poto-
mac in Virginia. will be refuge fol

Police to Auction Autos Monday;
List Items for '48 Main Event

The first of the police depart
ment's two annual clearance"
sales will be held tomorrow at 10
am, when Is unclaimed automo-
biles are. put up for auction on lot
at Second and H streets Sc.
Main event, however, for Wash
ington bargain hunters will be the
sale early next year of all other
unclaimed and abandoned property.
Although the auction is several
months off, police assigned to the
chief clerks Office and civilian
workers already are busy storing
the material into lots in the old May
Hardware Co. building, 469 G street
NV.
Radios, Clothing Included.
Articles to be offered for sale
include radios, jewelry, adding ma
chimes, rifles. clothing, whisky and
furniture. Most of the collection is
made up of proceeds of crime
material taken from thieves and
never called for by its owners. All
such articles are held for a year
before being placed on the auction
block.
Forgetful property owners are re-
minded of the sale through several
newspaper advertisements immedi-
ately preceding sale. Although they
still may recover their possessions
up until the time they go on sale,
there is no redress once the auc-
tioneer's hammer has fallen.
The automobiles. however. must
be kept only three months before
they may be sold. Most of the
vehicles are abandoned "crates,
sold principally to boating enthusi-
asts who want the motors.
$4,000 From Sale.
Inspector Clement P. Cox, CHIEF
clerk of the police department, said
last years sale netted $4,000 fol
District Golfers. No estimate OF
sale proceeds are made in, the
annual budget, he said, so the
profits are a surprise windfall for
the collector of taxes.
Evening star., 1947-10-05

All work preparing ana executing
the sale is carried on by men from
Inspector Cox's office, although a
private auctioneer is awarded the

item sold, no matter how small, has
a carefully documented lease his

Office. This record includes the
method in which the material came
into police hands, the precinct from
which it originated, final disposition
and a complete description.
Property is sold for whatever is
bid, except in the cases OF really
valuable articles, such as fur coats
and fine watches. Then the article
is appraised, and bidding starts
from a set price. Most smaller
articles are placed in lots, and the
bidder must buy the entire col
lection.
Shoe Sales Recalled.
Inspector Cox recalled an instance
several years ago of a shoe dealer
who purchased a. shelf of shoes
without inspecting them too thor
oughly.
when he unpacked them, they
were sample Shoes" he said. They
were in good condition-but all were

years ago, made practice of buying

of shortage items, later found she
had been reselling them-at a de-

Despite the food shortage, all re-
