Then he asked me. II you re-

Then the major tore up my
resignation, shook hands with me
and told me to go back to my
precinct and not worry.

That is one of the reasons that I

AS to any assertion that talked
with Emmitt Warning with regard
to gaming conditions in No. 3 and
No. precincts, ! wish to state
that I have talked to Emmit War;
rnig on two occasions in recent

Last Wednesday night-the
day of the transfer-Maj. Barrett

made several calls Thursday, but
I wasn't able to get conference.
Then Danny Maher called me
and wanted me to meet him at
5 pm. I met him at Ted Lewis
restaurant on Connecticut ave-
nue.. He said he wanted to de-
liver message from the Commis-
sioners. The message was that I
was doing a good job. that the
Commissioners had nothing
against me, and that it, was all
right for me to see anyone cared
to-
II said. Just answer me one
question-why was I transferred? p
HE said. All I know is what
the statement said about being
disrespectful.'
Il told him. If you think I'm
going to take this lying down,
you're wrong. I want to be heard
by someone, and I don't care who,
on all these charges
When I sat down, I told the
major of the CUFF and harrass-
ment from Inspector Lutz. I told
him about the White House Incl
dent.
The major said. who told Lutz
to come up there? I didn't want
him up there
Then he told me. You can
have a hundred men if you want
them. You are doing a wonderful
job in that precinct, and there are
more men receiving the merit
awards from your precinct than
any other in the CITY,
Satisfied, Major Says.
He told me he was 100 per cent
satisfied with the job being done
there.
II said. That's a hell of a way
to show it. You ordered an in
vestigation of my precinct Novem-
ber %. the day we left for Florida
HE told me he hadn't ordered
it. and he called in two of his
aides and asked them If they
knew anything about it. They
said they didn't and then the ma
,jor said. Now. do you believe
me?'
II answered him, No
II went on telling about the
harrassment. I was severely rep
rimanded one time at Constitut on
Hall when Margaret Truman was
scheduled TO sing. Mai. Barrett
reprimanded me for not being in
proper uniform.
The major said. 1T wasn't your
fault. It was Inspector Truscott's
fault. and I had to jump on some
one.'

Calls Reporters to Home.
The veteran police officer called
reporters to his home. which is at
512 Somerset place NV. Seated
on a hassock, with his wife near
him. he read from copious notes.
On Wednesday Commissioner
John Russell Young had said that
Capt. Richitt's transfer was ad-
vised by Maj. Barrett because Of
failure to carry out his assigned
duties and disrespect toward his
superior officers"
This is what think is the real
reason for my transfer" Capt.
Richitt began.
"The latter part of November I
personally led a raid on 1926
Pennsylvania avenue NV. The
man who backed that place is Mr..
Emmitt Warning.
Concerned About Lack of Cases.
Then Capt. Richitt launched
into a story Of how Maj. Barrett
told him that Hyman Fischbach,
the Crime Investigating Commit
tees counsel, was concerned about
the lack Of gambling cases re-
ported in the Third and Seventh
Precincts.
He told then of a telephone call
from Warning on January 81 in
which Warning asked Capt. Richitt
to meet him in restaurant. Capt.
Richitt said he refused, but told
Warning he could come to the pre-
cinct station.
Capt. Richitt said he instructed
Corpl. George E. Causey and Pvt.
Ernest N. Reid to remain In the
Office during the visit.
Speaking in a low voice, War
ring told him "the boss" called
and reported the committee coun-
sells interest in the low number
OF gambling arrests.
Later the conversation drifted
to the holdup at the Warning
home. Capt. Richitt said he
asked Warning how the police
learned about it.
"Oh, I called the boss as soon
as it happened" he said.
Capt. Richitt said Warning con-
cluded the conversation by thrust
ing his hand into his right pocket
suggestively. and saying that he
wanted to take care of .you.'
Capt. Richitt replied. mo, sir,
not me-" he said.
Thrust Hand Into Pocket.
Reached at No. precinct today,
Pvt. Reid said he would rather not
discuss the visit, since the Police
Manual forbade him to.
Il will wait for the hearing"
he said.
Under questioning, however, he
said he believed Warning told
Capt. Richitt he had come from
the majors Office" and referred
to him as "the boss"
Pvt. Reid said he was tipping at
the time and could not be certain
about everything that took place.
On February % Capt. Richitt
and two other precinct COM
manders were transferred, but
the order was rescinded five hours
later without explanation. We'd
nesday's transfer was accom-
panied by statement from Com
missioner Young in which he said
written summary of the case
showed the shifting of Capt.
Richitt was justified.

Blair House few days after the
conference. I had requested a
heavy detail, with some of the
men coming from other precincts
because of security measures, and
Lutz made ME explain in detail
what each man was supposed
to do"
Capt. Richitt then mentioned
that after The Star reporter left
things started to happen.
'Lutz told me-" he said, ""that
a sergeant and corporal are
enough to command a detail al

Then I went back to my office.
Inspector Lutz came in a few
minutes later and said, You're

foolish, Why don't you stop that?'
II said, 7 know of the petty
jealousy.
"Lutz said, You can't resign
without giving due notice
u told him, I can. I know the
manual. Then I took off my
badge and gun and told Lutz to
take them down to the major.
HE called the major and told
him the situation. The major
called back and said he wanted
to see me.

you misunderstood me, or misin-
what I said Then he
got inspector Truscott to admit he
was at fault for failing to notify
precinct commanders of the proper
uniform for the Constitution Hall
detail.

U. 5. Aid 10 Education
Vital, McGrath Says in
Report Citing Costs

American education is now in
the most critical period of it's
history and has not faced realiS-
tically the cost, the annual report
of the United States Office of
Education declared today.
The Nation is committed to pro-
viding educational opportunities
for all, DR.. Earl j. McGrath, Com
missioner of Education, stated in
the report. But, he said, "prac-
tical consequences of this philos-
ophy, the cost in terms of teach
erS, buildings and textbooks, in
dollars and cents" is not being
faced.
DR.. McGrath urged Federal aid
to education as an immediate
need.
Fewer Teachers Than in Al.
He said the supply of teachers
IN elementary schools is still about
a quarter below even the 1941
number. Although the teacher
shortage in the high schools las
eased off to some extent, there
istno oversupply of we'll qualified
teachers because many of the
high school teachers barely meet
professional standards.
The present critical shortage of
teachers is matched by the arrest
ing lack of school buildings, the
report continued. Replacing pres
ent obsolescent buildings and con-
structing new ones to keep up with
enrolment in the next 10 years
will cost at least $4,000, 900 900,
the report said.
DR.. McGrath said that, in the
interest of the national welfare,
qualified youngsters in all States
should have the opportunity for
education beyond high school.
Federal Scholarships Essential.
IF this it to be accomplished"
he declared, some form of Fed
eral scholarship is absolutely es-
sential."
Highlights of the statistical pic
ture of education presented by the
report included:
l. Expenditures for all educa-
ton, public and private. for the
school year 1948-1949, were esti-
mated at $500, 900 900.
2. The average salary of teach
ers, principals and supervisors was
$2,750, as compared with $2,254|
in the previous year.
3. Expenditures per pupil were
estimated at $185, compared to
$152 the year before.
4. Enrolment in Federally aided
vocational classes increased to an
all-time high of slightly more
than 5000 900.
