the United States" in paying the
extra 500, Navy officials disclosed.
The officials, who asked not to be
named, provided the information to
a reporter whose inquiry was
prompted by question and answer
column appearing in the unofficial
service newspaper, Armed Force.
That publication expressed sur
prise to learn from Navy authorities
that former WAVE who raised the
question was entitled to the extra
money because her travel carried
her into and out of Canada.
Similar inquiry to the War De-
partment brought the response that
the Army has flat policy" against
extra payments based solely on ira
vel outside the United States.
Under the mastering out law en-
acted in February, 1914, persons
who have served outside the
continental limits of the United
States or in Alaska" and have been
on active duty 80 days or longer
were to receive $500 above any serV-
ice pay owed them.
Personnel with less than go days
service, all of it within the United
States were to be paid $100, and
those with over go days within the
United States, 5000.
Authority was given the Secre-
taries of War and Navy to make
such regulations not inconsistent
with this act as may be necessary
effectively to carry out the provi-
sions thereof"
An order signed by the Secretary
of the Navy defined service outside
the United States as service af1oat
or in the air beyond the 3-mile
limit, including that performed in
travel status" and service per-
termed in Alaska, in United States
territory or in a foreign country
including Canada and Mexico, and
including that performed in travel
status"
Not included was travel from one
part of a State to another part of
the same State even though the
route lay beyond the 3-mile limit.

ernize the Districts handling OF
alcohol addicts and their rehabll-
itation. He added it should pro-
mote temperance, and minimize the
effects of excessive drinking on
those who pass through District
courts.
Acting Corporation Counsel Ches-
ter Gray and Municipal Court Judge
Walter Casey, two of the consult
ants, told the commissioners the
appointment of the Citizens Com
mittee for the clinic was the most
important step that can be taken
now to launch the Districts alco-
holics' control program.
Mr.. Mason agreed that the ad-
visory committee should be named
as soon as possible because, he de-
clared, I'VE ourselves are as green
as grass in the pasture on this sub
In addition to DR.. Rutland and
DR.. Daniel L. Seckinger, assistant
health officer, others appearing at
the board meeting were DR.. Leopold
Wexberg, chief psychiatrist; B. M.
McKelway, editor of The Star; Maj.
Campbell C. johnson, head OF the
Parole Board; Donald Clemmer,
head of the Department OF Correc-
tions, and Mr.. Gray.
1t was agreed at an earlier meet
ing of the Commissioners that the
alcoholic clinic should function un-
der supervision of the Health De-
partment. It was generally under
stood that DR.. Wexberg is to be its
director, since the two small alco-
holic clinics now under him are to
form the nucleus of the proposed
setup.
A iudicious division of fees col
lected from the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board for maintenance OF
the clinic will be discussed. The
law authorizes a 10 per cent in
crease in some of the license fees
for use in this connection. The
funds are to be divided between
the work on behalf of alcoholic
criminals and persons seeking a
cure"
There we're indications also that
a committee might be set up for
service in an advisory capacity. Its
membership may possibly include a
Judge, the head or representative
Of the penal institutions and a rep
resentative of the District Medical
Society.

ADAUnit Hits Reversal
OF Police Trial RuIinq

District residents must insist
upon vigorous corrective measures
for police discipline, Benjamin c.
Sigal, president of the Washington
Chapter, Americans for Democratic
Action, said in a letter to the Dis
trict commissioners, released today.
The letter criticized the Commits
sioners for reversal of a Police Trial
Board decision dismissing Pvt. James
A. Stewart, jr., seventh precinct,
charged with striking Georgetown
University student. The Commits
sioners fined Stewart $400 instead.
The Commissioners decision Stew
art should pay a comparatively
small fine "smacks of condonation
of brutal assault" the letter as
serted.
Mr.. Sigal wrote: 1T now appears
that a conviction of a policeman
for slugging a man is no ground
for dismissal from the police force.
It appears, further, that those who
are sworn to enforce and uphold the
law can violate their oaths and de-
grade law enforcement with appar-
emily little risk to their jobs"

Packer Urges Use
OF fLow-Cost Meat 10
Cut Choice Prices
BY the Assoeioted Press

CHICAGO, Sept. Al. w. Specht
president of Armour g. Co., said to-
day that prices of choice meat cuts
could be reduced If the public pur-
chased more of the packing indus
try's low-priced products.
The meat packing company exc
cutive. addressing the AID annua
meeting of the American Meat In
stitute, said almost every product
we make has been in the surplus
class at one time or another"
He said the industry always had
certain kinds and cuts Of meat to
sell which had to be marketed at a
loss, and added:
IF the consumer could be in
duced, through better merchandis-
ing, to use a little more of these
low-priced products, which are just
as high in nutrition, it would re-
lieve the pressure on the so-called
higher-priced products and there
by bring them into line with aver
age values.
From that standpoint I think
we can truthfully say that low
prices cause high prices, and, OF
course, low prices discourage live
stock production.
Shoulder cuts of hog, for ex-
ample, constitute about Is per cent
of the meat yield of the hog. II
has. usually been far more difficult
to get fair price for these shoulder
cuts than for the hams, the loins
and the bacon"

Mr.. Nehru said, police in many in

Conditions like these drove both
governments to pool their thinking

that both Mr.. Nehru and Mr.. Ali
