Mrs. Rosie Bowman, II, said her
husband left home about 10 am
Friday on his bicycle, bound for

Detective Griggs said his inves-
tigation disclosed that Mr.. Bow

bike which had been converted to
manual pedaling, was last seen
at that time. the detective said.

posit there recently on used car,
but did not take the car with him

Mr.. Bowman's whereabouts be-
tween that time and the time he

such a thing" Capt. Beach re-
sponded.
Capt. Beach invited the sub
committee to question him on his
police record with respect to
gambling.
"No f1ve-cent scandal sheet is
going to put me across the front
page" he said. Somebody has
been casting aspersions on me and
! intend to find out who has been
casting those aspersions.
Then, Capt. Beach recited his
police record at the invitation of
MIR. Fschbach. He recalled that
he had headed a special gambling
squad from April 80 to August /,
1945. during which period he had
supervised raids on SO places con-
corning which evidence of gam
bling had been assembled.
Referring to card file, he re-
called that by far the largest
number of raids occurred in the
First, Second and Thirteenth
Precincts-each ranging from 18
to Is. He noted that only one
had taken place in No. Z and three
in No. 8. Mr.. Fischbach asked if
"the same ratio" would hold true
today.
Its so obvious it can't be de-
MED" Capt. Beach said. "It would
be true today"
Gamblers ply their trade
where there are many people," he
remarked.
Returning to Warning. Mr..
Fischbach asked Capt. Beach.
Would you say that gambling
is his business?"
Definitely" the precincts COM
mander replied. TN my best
knowledge and belief. Emmitt
Warning is q gambler. He lives
In the eighth precinct. Where
his place of business is, don't
know, but am firmly convinced
1t is not in the seventh precinct"
Mr.. FiSchbach asked why, If
Warning was known to be q
gambler, he had not been ar
rested for gambling.
TT takes q lot of evidence to
get s1warrant and get an arrest
for gambling" Capt. Beach said.

Hoover Report Group
Asks Quick Action on
Truman Proposals

The National Citizens Commit
tee for the Hoover Report last
night called for prompt congress
sional action on Government re-
organization proposals soon to be
submitted by President Truman.
In statement signed by % ma
tional leaders in every field, the
committee warned that the pro-
posed changes are being opposed
by powerfully organized groups.
'These groups express adher-
ence to the principles of reorgani-
zation but insist that exceptions
be made in favor of certain agen-
cies." the statement said.
Danger in Delay.
Therein lies the challenge. AS
Nation we face test of courage
Gus citizenship. We can now
demonstrate our national capacity
to rise above partisan and group
considerations by debating the
issues of reorganization solely in
terms of the best interests of the
people as whole"
There is grave danger, how
ever, in delay. The great public
benefits of the Hoover Commits
sion's research can be lost if they
are long neglected or ignored"
The committee wrote approv-
ingly of the progress made since
the Hoover Commission on reor-
ganization of the Government
presented a l9-volume report
year ago.
Fifth of Ideas Used.
About 20 per cent of the COM
missions recommendations have
been enacted into law, it said, in
cluding six plans for realigning
agencies and bureaus. strength
ened unification of the armed
services, basic reorganization of
the State Department and ANAL
gamation of four agencies into
the new General Services Agency.
The committee also commended
the Congress, administration and
public for other gains. Among
them is the new "streamlined"
Federal budget. "quickening" of
the desire for better management
performance, and the Civil Service
Commissions new program for
training and holding young ad-
ministrators.
Chairman of the committee is
Robert L. Johnson, president of
Temple University.

that he would be well advised
not to molest gamblers
That's ridiculous" Capt. Beach
replied sharply. Tive been a po-
liceman rs years. and nobody has
ever told me that. I. don't think
|anyone ever will"
Mr.. Fischbach next asked Capt.
Beach whether he knew Emmitt
Warning.
Very WELL" he said.
"Is he friend Of yours?" the
counsel inquired.
Il don't believe policemen and
gamblers cohabit, do you?' re-
torted Capt. Beach. "And I can
answer that question by saying
no."
Tells of Warning Encounter.
Mr.. Fischbach asked whether
Capt. Beach has visited Warning
in his home, had a drink with him
or had any social contact with
him.
None at ALL was the answer.
MY acquaintances are not gam
blers.
MIR. Fischbach asked how Capt.
Beach would characterize state
ment by Warning that he was a
friend Of his. if such q statement
were made.
IA deliberate lie," Capt. Beach
snapped.
Describing his encounter with
Warning. Capt. Beach related:
II was coming up Wisconsin
avenue one afternoon around 8
o'clock. I had observed him in
that vicinity. and I had been told
by responsible people that he ate

Adjourns After Rent
Control Bill Is Killed
By Alex R. Preston
Sfor Stoff Correspondent

RICHMOND, Mar. 4.-The Vir-
ginia House of Delegates ad-
journed at 1890 am. today after
killing a proposed State wide rent
control law.
1t experienced the most critical
legislative log jam in more than
a decade as it ended nearly IA
hours work to clear its calendar
1t passed 201 bills and killed 81.
The rent control measure was
defeated by voice vote when the
House refused to advance it in line
for passage. Sponsored by Dele
gate j. Maynard Magruder, Ar
lington, the bill was viciously at
tackled by other legislators, who
only two weeks ago voted to lift
Federal controls in Virginia, effec-
tive June Is, and repeal the
existing State act on the same
subject.
It was the second successive
night session-made necessary
because of time lost with the $500
million appropriation bill earlier
this week.
New charters for Alexandria
and Falls Church, as we'll as the
towns of Haymarket and Purcell
vile, were passed during the rush.
Extensive amendments to the
Alexandria and Falls Church
charters were not even read.
During this mornings session,
uncontested measures were acted
on at a rate of go bills an hour,
with the aid of the electric voting
machine. A total of 119 bills
were passed in the first two hours.
Budget Faces Senate.
The Senate got rid of all of it's
own bills to meet the deadline. but
failed to pass House measures on
its calendar before adjourning at
2 pm. The Senate has all of next
week to consider bills originating
in the other branch but it also has
the $500 million appropriation bill
to consider.

to mind in referring to the source
of complaint.
We'll, don't have any gam
bling over here, and so far as
! know there are no places over
her to be raided," Capt. Beach
said Warning declared. He said
that was the end of the CONVEX
Sation.
Said Nothing About Richitt.
"How did you refer to the
major?" Mr.. Fischbach wanted to
know.
Il couldn't tell you," Capt.
Beach replied.
Mr.. Fischbach asked if Warning
had "said anything about con-.
tacting Richitt."
mo" Capt. Beach replied, why
should he? I'm policeman. He's
a gambler"
Capt. Beach testified Capt.
Richitt had called him on the
telephone and told him that War;
ring had mentioned talking to
Capt. Beach; Capt. Beach said he
told Capt. Richitt:
Il talked to him-he didn't
talk to me-"
When Capt. Beach was asked
If he had ever mentioned to War
ring the subcommittee's interest
in the lack of gambling arrests,
he replied positively, Never"
Chairman Davis asked Capt.
Beach Il he had told Warning to
tell Capt. Richitt what Capt.
Beach had discussed with War
ring.
II definitely did not and GER
tainly hope you don't think said

60 On Wednesday, February
/, 1850, I telephoned Capt. Richitt
at No. 3 Precinct and Capt. Beverly
c. Beach at No. 7 Precinct and
told them that a question had
been raised by the investigators
for the subcommittee for the
House District Committee investi-
eating crime and law enforcement
in the District of Columbia with
respect to the absence of arrests
in the Third and Seventh Precincts
for violations of the gaming laws
during the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1949. I directed both
Capt. Richitt and Capt. Beach to
submit a report about the en-
forcement activities in their re-
spective precincts so as to enable
me to answer any questions that
might be raised.
No report had been received
on February IL, 1850 from Capt.
Richitt with respect TO the order
given on February I. On Febru-
ary IL at a fire at 6 am. in the
morning, I met 1t. Henry H.
Hef1ing of the Third Precinct and
told him that I had not received
Capt. Richitt's report. The lieu
tenant said that he would imme-
diately prepare a report with re-
spect to what he personally had
done in his efforts to suppress
gambling since July 1, 1949. This
report was received by me on
the following morning, February
18th. over the signature of Capt.
Richitt covering the period of the
first half OF the fiscal year 1850.
Capt. Richitt has not yet made
any report either over his own
signature or otherwise in con-
formity with the order given to
him on February / which was to
cover the fiscal year 1949.
"a On Sunday, December II,
1949, had a discussion with Capt.
Richitt at Constitution Hall with
respect to the failure of the men
assigned to the detail on that oc-
caSion to follow an order that
had given with respect to the uni
form for that day. Capt. Richitt
stated that it was customary In
his precinct for the captain to
exercise discretion in the matter
of the type of uniform to be
worn. Capt. Richitt glared at me
in a contemptuous manner. In
spector William j. Cunningham
states that at@a time subsequent
to December 11th. Capt. Richitt
boasted to him that he had glared
at me when I discussed the mat
ter of the uniform with him.
Inspector Cunningham said
that he told Capt. Richitt that he
ought to stop his attitude toward
his superior officers and that
Capt. Richitt just smiled, leaned
back in his chair and said,
"There,n come day, there'lI come
a day."
60 On the night of February
%, 1850, Inspector William j.
Cunningham says that when he
advised Capt. Richitt Of his trans
fer to the Eighth Precinct Capt.
Richitt stated to him that he
didn't have to take orders from
anyone. .. who was seated. At
this time, Capt. Richitt in q con-
versation with Inspector Cunning
ham said, he was not going to No.
8 Precinct and that he was going
to submit his resignation.
I believe that Capt. Richitt's
defiance Of orders and his con-
tempt for superiors could have no
other effect than generalization
of the entire department.

Mr.. Fischbach informed Capt.

Clipped in. The ring was to be for

bach said Mr.. Miller recalled that
Capt. Beach had started the con-
versation with Warning by saying
Il want to talk to you.'
Who is he defending?" Capt.
Beach asked. II don't recall any
such incident. If he's defending
me, he can forget about it."
Capt. Beach said he wanted
to find out what Warning was
doing" in No. Z.
Listen, what are you doing over
here?" Capt. Beach said he asked
Warning.
He said Warning rejoined, "You
have q complaint about me?"
Capt. Beach said he told War
ring, Il have a complaint about
anybody gambling in my pre-
cinct." He said he might have
remarked that the complaint came
from 'fhe major" or might have
used some other term that came

Text of Borrett's Report on Capt. Richitt

Barrett transferred Capt. Anthony
Richitt from the Third precinct
to the Eighth he explained his
reasons in a document which he
sent to District Commissioner
John Russell Young. This paper
was introduced at the House SUBJ
committee investigation of the
move yesterday. Maj. Barrett
gave five main reasons on his
statement. Here, in his own
words, somewhat abbreviated, are
the reasons:
u) Under Section 80 of Chap
ter XIII of the Police Manual,
Captains are required to commun-
icate with their station houses or
Offices at least once each hour
unless manifestly impractical to
do so.
In July of 1948,. Inspector Arthur
E. Miller reported difficulty in
reaching Capt. Richitt and that
frequently long periods of time
elapsed before he was able to
communicate with him. On Octo-
ber %, 1949. Inspector Clarence H
Lutz reported that he had been
assigned to investigate a complaint
from citizen of failure to receive
proper police service from the
Third Precinct. Inspector Lutz
stated that he attempted to reach
Capt. Richitt at $50 am. and was
advised that the captain was not
in, he then requested that Capt
Richitt be notified to call him.
Inspector Lutz called Capt
Richitt again at IL am. and he
was advised by the captains secre-
tary that Capt. Richitt was at the
Statler Hotel. Inspector Lutz
again called the Third Precinct
at 1880 pm. and spoke to Pvt
Reed. Pvt. Reed stated that he
had just returned from the Stat
Ter Hotel and that the captain had
just left there with Secret Service
personnel and that he Pvt. Reed
did not know where Capt. Richitt
could be located.
Pvt. Reed advised Inspector Lutz
that he had informed Capt. Richitt
at l1:45 am. that Inspector Lutz
was trying to communicate with
him. At LIS pm. on. that same
date, Inspector Lutz had not
heard from Capt. Richitt. Inspec-
tor Lutz in his report to the major
and superintendent stated as fol-
lows:
I also wish to state that I have
more trouble contracting Capt
Richitt than any other precinct
captain in the city. Then if this
Is true as far as I am concerned.
then it is true also as far as
citizens are concerned. Capt.
Richitt explains his absence from
the precinct by stating that he
has to see that President Truman
gets to and from the White House
safely"
No further action was taken in
connection with this complaint in
view OF the fact that Capt. Richitt
explained that his absences from
the precinct were due to his
activity at the Blair House and at
the Statler Hotel.
In the latter part Of January.
1850, Inspector Lutz conferred with
Capt. Richitt and stated that it
was the order of the major and
superintendent that he desist from
personally handling traffic each
day at the temporary White House
Tor the reason that 1t was not felt
that it was necessary for cap
tain to be detailed to direct traf-
f1c. Inspector Lutz also states that
he discussed with Capt. Richitt

White House function.
Inspector Lutz states that Capt.
Richitt "blew up" and said, I'm
getting damned tired with the in
reference of the operation of my
precinct; you can't tell me how to
run it, I'll submit my resignation"
Inspector Lutz says that Capt.
Richitt removed his gun and other
equipment and wrote out his res
ignation stating that he would re-
port to the major only as a civil
ian. Inspector Lutz reported the
above to me and I directed Inspec-
tor Lutz to order Capt. Richitt to
my Office.
Capt. Richitt appeared before
me and stated that Inspector Lutz
had ordered him to keep in touch
with his precinct and Capt. Rich :
tit stated to me that he was not
a private and that he was not go
ing to call the precinct every hour
(the Police Manual requires that
this be done by each captain un-
less manifestly impractical to do
so). took Capt. Richitt's resig-
nation and tore it up and told him
that no one had anything against
him, to go back to the precinct,
do a good job and try to get along
with the rest of the officers.
Inspector Lutz further states
that he had occasion to be, at the
Third Precinct at different times
and that citizens would come in
to inquire for the captain and
that they were told to come back
again. In a conversation with
Capt. Richitt in connection with
these incidents, Inspector Lutz
states that Capt. Richitt seemed
to think that he did not have to
take orders from any one"
CD On November 7, 1949, an
order was sent to the entire police
force restricting all annual leave
to bonafide emergency cases dur
ing the period from December IL
1949, to December "a. 1949, both
dates inclusive. On November %
1949, Capt. Richitt applied for
leave from November %, 1949, un-
til December %, 1949. This leave
slip was disapproved and returned
to the precinct. Capt. Richitt
then submitted an application for
leave for the period beginning No.
vember %, 1949, to the beginning
of the police day on December IL,
l949, which was approved. Capt,
Richitt did not return on Decem-
ber IL as required by the order.
I learned, of his absence on
December 18th. On that date !
sent a communication to- Capt.
Richitt directing him to return
to his post Of duty. Capt. Richitt
returned to duty on December Is,
1949. I was advised by the execu-
tive officer, Assistant sSuperin-
tendent Floyd A. Truscott, that
Capt. Richitt had stated to him
that he Capt. Richitt had decided
to take extra time for days off
that were lost to him; and that
Capt. Richitt had talked the
matter over with, the lieutenant
at the Third Precinct who was
to be acting captain in the Third
Precinct during the absence of
Capt.. Richitt.
The manual of the Metropolitan
Police Department requires that
all application for leave must be
made in advance of the period
for which the leave is sought: and
that the approval of a District
Inspector for such leave is required
OF all precinct captains. Capt.
Richitt was absent without ap-
proval from his District Inspector

By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, June Jimmy
Cannon, sports columnist of the
New York Post, said today in a
copyright column that Ted Will
liams, baseball's highest paid
player, intends to ask the Boston
Red Sox to trade him, preferably
to the Detroit Tigers,
"Boston's hostile and abusive
baseball fanatics probably have
succeeded in running Ted Will
liams out of town." Cannon wrote,
"It is his hope that this is his
last year with the Red Sox. AT
the end of the season, I can ex-
clusively and positively report to-
day, Williams intends to ask the
Rex Sox to trade him. His choice
is Detroit. Only Detroit. Cleve-
land and the Yankees could afford
to employ him"
Fred Corcoran, Williams busi-
ness manager, said Williams had
said nothing to him about a desire
to be traded and as far as he knew
there was nothing to it,
Williams reputedly receives
$125,000 annually from the Red
Sox, the biggest sum ever paid a
baseball player. Although Will

is second in runs batted in with
Al against 47 for Junior Stephens
of the Red Sox. his batting
average has slumped to .286.
Cannon declared Williams
value is so great that terms for
any sort of a trade would be
prohibitive even for Detroit,
Cleveland or the New York
Yankees.
MANY baseball people estimate
Williams would be a bargain if
bought for $25O,0O0 and a trinity
of players such as Johnny Groth,
Hoot Evers, and Art Houtteman, ~
said Cannon. (Groth and Evers
are outfielders and Houtteman is
a pitcher, all Tiger stars.
"It is doubtful player has ever
been a more unpopular player
with hometown partisans," saio
Cannon.
"The animosity between Will
liams and his enemies in the
stands has increased with the
passage of the years. Williams
blames his diminishing batting
average on the recent exchange
of insults which ended in ar
apology by the most controver-
sial player since Ty Cobb quit
the game"
