night.
When I tuned in at the beginning
of the second half, the Warriors were
in front by score of 44-33, but
that second half was something to
listen to. The Caps lost no time in
tieing up the score (the score was
Warriors 47-Caps As within four
minutes of the second half getting
under way). From then on it was
a nip and tuck affair and the final
period ended with the two teams
deadlocked at Sc all. But in the
five minute overtime period, the
Caps really went to town, with the
final score being Washington 1906

Capt. Raspberry Calls
Park Police Forces
Here Inadequate

Capt. Mark H. Raspberry, COM
manding officer of the Park Police,
yesterday said the present man
power of his organization is "in-
adequate" for patrolling the areas
under its jurisdiction.
Especially needed, he said, are at
least 13 more mounted policemen
to patrol wooded areas. At present,
there are two Park Policemen on the
horseback patrol.
Speaking at luncheon meeting
of the Junior Board of Commerce in
the Burlington Hotel, Capt. Rasp-
berry briefly outlined the history
of the Park Police.
Formed in 1888.
| Formed in 1888, its members were
first known as park watchman," he
said, and their patrol area was con-
fined to the Metropolitan area. Now,
he said, the Federal organization
patrols not only the vast park sys-
tenn of the District, but also the
George Washington Memorial High
way and the G and o canal areas.
He stated the present strength Of
ia men Is inadequate. Even so, he
said, only one tenth of one per cent
of crimes in the District has oc-
cured in Park Police territory. Dur
ing the past year, he said, the Park
Police have prosecuted more than
5000 cases ranging from parking
violations to major crimes.
Capt. Raspberry said he believes
the Park Police can work better
under their present setup which is
independent from the Metropolitan
Police.
Sees Merger Costly.
A merger, he said, would result
in increased taxes for District resi-
dents because the organization
would be transferred from Federal
to District control.
Also, in case of trouble in park
area, the director of the Park Serv-
ice would have to contact one Of
the IA District precinct captains to
dispatch men to the scene. Now the
service is centralized at Park Police
headquarters.
| He cited such a merger recently
in Louisville. KY, which he said
has brought protests from the
mayor, police and park officials.

MADRID, Oct. 8.-Newspapers
here published sharp editorials
today attacking the British For

information of a pact between
exiled Spanish Socialists and
Monarchists.
The newspapers also ran a brief
resume of the London Foreign Office
announcement.
The British Foreign Office an
nounced yesterday that Monarchists
and Republicans had negotiated a
formal agreement patching up thei1
differences. Spanish sources in Paris
backed up the report and said ii
had the support of former Socialist
Premier Indalecio Prieto, Monarch
lists and other opposition groups
inside Spain. Paris sources said the
negotiators for the Monarchists was
Jose Marie Gil Robles.
In Lisbon, Mr.. Gil Robles tolo
newsmen today: Il have not signed
any pact with Prieto or anybody
else. I am now keeping out of polit-
ical activities and wish that my
name should not be used in political
speculations.
The tone of the anti British at
tacks in the Madrid press was shown
by a headline in ABC. Monarchist
