Things were going badly re-
Gently for a Metropolitan police
private whose five-year-old son,
stricken with polio, required hos
pital treatment three times week.
The boy had to be taken from
the Northeast section to Children S
Hospital The policeman was on
duty most of days the child had
to go for treatment. This meant
that his wife had to take a taxi
to and from the hospital, leaving
her invalid mother and another
young child at home.
This was where the Police Wives
Club stepped in. One of their
members now drives the child to
and from the hospital on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays. The
boys treatment may last for years,
it was said.
Benefits Raise Funds.
This is one of many ways the
club aids policemen and their fam
lilies. Funds are raised through
benefits such as dances. A bene-
fit dance will be held at 8 pm.
tomorrow at Coral Hall, Marlboro
pike at the District line.
Funds raised at this dance will
be used by the clubs family aid
committee. This committee sends
cards and baskets of fruit to sick
policemen and their families,
sends flowers to funerals and aids
when illness strikes, as in the
case of the child with polio.
The club was organized in No
vember, 1948, for the wives to get
together during their husbands
irregular working hours (police-
men generally change eight hour
shifts each week..
At their monthly meetings. the
wives hear speakers on family
subjects. Recent speakers have
included psychiatrist and a rep
resentative of the National Polio
Foundation.
Club Seeks New Members.
The husbands of the members,
besides Metropolitan policemen.
include members of the park and
White House police. There are
about hundred members, among
them the wives of Supt. Of Police
Robert j. Barrett and Assistant
Supt. Floyd Truscott.
The club is driving for new
members.

Police Association
Asks 40-Hour Week
To Improve Standard!

Legislation calling for five-day,
4o-hour week for policemen was
proposed today by the District
Policemen's Association.
The organization Of Metropol-
itan, White House and Park Police
indicated it would press for i'm
mediate reduction Of the present
six-day, 4S-hour week, without
impairing present wages or
benefits.
AS justification for the shorter
hours the association set out these
points:
/. Legislation already is on the
books to give the District Fire
Department a flve-day. 60-hour
week.
2. Federal and District classified
employees now work a flve-day,
40-hour week.
8. Other police departments are
moving toward the shorter work
week.
4. A shorter week will attract
higher type policemen.
Efficiency Rise Forecast.
S. Fewer sick leaves and retire
ments for disability would result.
6. Increased efficiency would
reduce the need for additional
personnel; smaller turnover
would cut the taxpayers load.
7. Better physically and men
tally equipped police are needed to
cope with an increasing popula-
ton.
The association pointed out that
District firemen will work the five
day, 60-hour week six months
after Congress appropriates money
for additional personnel. For
police not to receive shorter
week in view of this would be a
gross injustice" it was said.
Many persons who have quail
fied with high marks decline ap-
pointment to the forces upon
learning Of the 48-hour week, to
which is added night duty and
attendance in court on their own
time for many policemen, the
associations Advisory and Legis-
lative Committees said.
Must Report Early.
Their report also cited the fact
that policemen must report half
an hour early each day to prepare
for street duty, or total of three
additional hours a week, and that
often policemen are called into
action during their 2o-minute
lunch periods.
Pointing out that 40 policemen
have retired this year for physical
disability. the report suggested
that working conditions are largely
responsible.
The shorter week would raise
the need for q one-sixth expan-
sion In personnel to give the same
coverage, but increased efficiency
Of personnel, q decrease in sick
leave and longer service before
retirement should repay the city
for any additional expense, the
association added.
Higher Standards Seen.
With. better Jobs and stronger
cornioe etitipf1 for Jobs, policemen
would work harder and super
visors would exact more from
