Tucomu Wins Another First A Deputy Sheriff
OSCAR FREEMAN, VET, NAMED DEPUTY
BY PIERCE co. SHERIFF H. W. LEE CROFT

The many charges of brutality
against the Police Department of
Tacoma, Wash, the indiscrimi-
nate arrests and manning of Ne
groes, leave an indelible smear
on the record of the Evergreen
State. This dark record of the
minions of the law In Tacoma
runs parallel to the deep South.
The activity of Race Taco
mans in the Bird and Wells cases
mellows a tense situation, but the
added tears of the Angelic host
will not black the record out.
The activity of Race leaders in
that case, no doubt, inspired the
appointment of Race deputy by
Sheriff H. w. (Lee) Croft.

Housing Construction Tops
Last Year by s. PEI Cent
By the Associoted Press

The dollar value of housing con-
struction during the first eight
months of this year set a record,
the Commerce Department reported
last night.
1t was 55 per cent more than the
same period of 1947.
The department estimated that
s4,485, 100000 in new residential
construction had been put IN
place" in distinction to contract
awards or house competitions. The
figure excluded farm dwellings.
While high prices had a lot to do
with the record size figure, officials
expressed belief that the volume OF
home construction in terms of units
had been pretty close to the 1926
quantity record, although unit fig
ures for the eight months are not
complete.
New construction of all types also
hit a record in August, 81 ,785 ,000, 600
after registering slightly more
than seasonal increase over pei
cent over July" It represented q
81 per cent gain over August, 1887.
New construction generally for the
first eight months Of 194s was val
ued at sl1, 200, 900, 600. another rec
ord figure eclipsing last year by 81
per cent.

Workshop Discusses
Religious Programs

1t is the business of the religious
radio program to develop con-
sciousness of God in its listeners,
William c. Smith, radio director of
the National Council of Catholic
Men, declared today at a radio
workshop meeting at Wilson Teach
ers College.
A positive presentation of religious
views without disparaging the ideas
of other faiths is one of the most
important elements in a successful
religious radio broadcast, Mr.. Smith
asserted.
Such adjuncts as music to make
the broadcast interesting and in
spirational should be used" the
speaker said. "It should also leave
the listener with some point that
will be of practical used to him in
his daily life.'
The workshop, attended by ap-
proximately 200 persons, was pre-
sided over by Mrs. Hazel Kenyon
Markell, director of public relations,
service and education for Station
WTOP. The workshop, sponsored
by Station WTOP and the District

Jail Has Gone 7 Years
Without an Escape,
City Heads Informed

In spite of an all-time record in
the number of prisoners committed
to District Jail during the fiscal
year ended last June 80. there havc
been no escapes, the Department
of Corrections reported to the Com
missioners today. -
There were no escapes at the Jail
in the previous. fiscal year, either,
which gives the institution clean
record for "a months.
This is marked change from
1916 when IL prisoners escaped. 1t
was this outbreak. high lighted by
the escape of Joseph Medley and
Earl Mcfarland, condemned mur-
derers, that caused Congress to re-
move the penal institutions from
the jurisdiction of the Welfare De-
partment and create the Depart
ment of Corrections,
Admissions at Record Peak.
During the period covered by the
report the only men who escaped
from the five institutions controlled
by the department were five who
walked away from the workhouse
at Occoquan, which has no bars,
cells or fences. There we're no es-
capes from the reformatory, the
women's division or the peniten-
tiary.
The report showed that total OF
18,543 persons were admitted to Dis
trict Jail during the IL months and
the average daily population was
730, the largest on record, being go
above the average daily population
for the previous year.
Increases in the population at the
reformatory, situated at Lorton, and
at Occoquan also were noted.
Donald Clemmer, head of the de-
partment. said that in spite of many
earnest efforts, it seemed impossible
to effect thorough reformation
among any appreciable numbers" Of
the prisoners. No American prison
however, can make strong claims in
this regard, he said, adding that the
atmosphere of the Jail itself made
IL practlcally Impossible.
$580,011 in Goods Turned Out.
In another section Of the report
Mr.. Clemmer said the industries al
the institutions produced $580,0l1
worth Of goods and made sales ot
$500, ,159, a slight increase over the
previous year.
Agricultural products raised on
the farm land controlled by the de-
partment amounted to 1892, ,793
while dairy products amounted to
$42, 2,702.
He cited low salaries as one Of the
biggest handicaps to the proper
working of the Corrections Depart
ment. The fact that the pay of the
573 people in the department has not
kept pace with rising prices has
caused many hardstipS and has
affected their morale"

Leroy r. Gravette. "A, charged

5o-year-old woman in a Franklin
Park comfort station, was placed

Aubrey B. Fennell in Municipal
Court. His case was continued until

Gravette, who is colored and lives

after being cornered by a crowd
outside the rest room from which
Mrs. Evelyn Brooks, 1349 Euclid
street NV, ran screaming after
the assault.
Mrs. Brooks today was reported in
satisfactory condition at Emergency
Hospital, where she awaits X-rays
to determine whether she received
a broken jaw and nose In the beat
ing. She also is being treated for
face and head cuts and bruises
which, she told police, she received
when her assailant broke through
a door and struck her several times
with his fists.
