Policeman Awaiting
Retirement Decision
Suspended for Fight

Pvt. John w. Carroll of No. 8
Precinct, who is awaiting decision
on whether he should be retired
for physical disability, is under
suspension today as a result of a
free-for-all fight early yesterday
in a chilli restaurant he operates.
Inspector Albert 1. Bullock late
yesterday ordered the suspension
of Pvt. Carroll for conduct unbe-
coming an officer" after question
ing the policeman, who was said
to be on sick leave when the melee
occurred at 3 am.
A headquarters spokesman said
further details on the suspension
would be disclosed today. 1t was
intimated that, since the 29-year-
old officer was not on duty. he had
no technical right to charge the
other participants in the alterca-
ton with assaulting a policeman.
Certified for Retirement.
The Police Retirement Board
examined Pvt. Carroll on Thurs
day to determine his physical fit
ness, because of leg injury suf-
fered in the Navy during the war.
He has been on the force four and
a half years and, after a recent
examination by the Board of Po-
lice and Fire Surgeons, he was GER
titled for retirement.
Pvt. Carroll said things were
quiet in his restaurant in the zoe
block of Eleventh street Sc. early
yesterday when Carl F.. Briden-
steine, 81, of 1140 Oates street
NE, became involved in an argu-
ment with another customer, a
jeweler. Pvt. Carroll said he in
tervened to maintain peace and
that Bridensteine knocked the
jeweler into him and they both
went down.
The officer said he arose and
knocked Bridensteine down. but
then Danny Petro, 81. a local
boxer, interviewed and was knocked
through an unopened screen door.
The fight continued on the side
walk and Pvt. Carroll, it was said,
drew his gun.
Pay Offer Turned Down.
Later Bridensteine and Petro
offered to pay for the damage, but
the policeman said he refused the
offer and arrested them. Petro
then said he wanted to talk to
a police inspector.
Bridensteine was charged with
disorderly conduct and assault
and Petro with assaulting a police
man. destroying private property,
intoXication and diSorderly con-
duct. But before the cases reached
Municipal Court, the assault
charges against both men were
dismissed and so was the charge
against Petro for destroying pri-
vate property. He still is accused
of being intoxicated and with
disorderly conduct and Briden-
steine still faces a charge of dis
orderly conduct. These cases
were continued for a week.

Veterans Excused
From New Duty
Dogs, That Is

Privately owned war dogs"
which saw service during World
War II have no obligation to re-
turn to active duty, the Army said
today.
Many dogs were lent to the
Army by their owners during the
war. They were used to guard de-
pots and to go on patrols. Patrol
dogs were taught to know Amer
leans but to bristle at the enemy
Some of them became rather
fierce and had to be de trained
before they were tame enough to
return to their homes and civilian
life.
None of these canine veterans
is to be recalled to active duty
an Army spokesman told a re-
porter.
The Army's own dogs have had
a good many families since the
war, he explained, and the regu-
lar canine corps now totals around
500.

between the two companies. He
pointed out that being a membe.
of both boards put him Gin a po-
sition of conflict" and that he
chose to remain with the COM
pany with which he has been
longest identified.
The two designations will be
submitted formally to the Capital
Transit board at a meeting on
August "a. The Public Utilities
Commission has scheduled hear
ing on the Pepco rate increase

Square Your Lips to Sing,
Voice Professor Advises
By the Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS. - Want tc
learn to sing? Then be a square
Upper" says William Ernest Ross
associate professor of voice at In
diana University. Form your lips
into a square, throw back your
shoulders and burst into song
And don't be afraid to show your
upper and lower front teeth, he
says.
Other pointers thrown out by
the professor are: Don't smile
when you sing. You're more likely
to yell than sing if you do. Don't
sing with 'lazy lips" If your lips
are relaxed, they will tend to
muffle your voice.

John L. Lewis's Friend

It's no secret that New Hamp- shire's Senator Styles Bridges, the No. 2 Republican of the Senate was paid s35,OOO year as trustee for John L. Lewis's Miners Well fare Fund. In addition, it also looks as if the shaggy -browed Lewis has been giving cues to Bridges regard ing foreign policy.
 For several months, Bridges has been working closely with the State Department and moving into Sen ator Vandenburg' shoes as the COP spokesman on foreign affairs second only to Senator Taft in Republican influence. But, sudden ly, Bridges lashed out with a vlt- riolic attack against the State De- partment.
 This attack, it now develops, was not prepared in Bridges office at all, but by John L. Lewiss public relations" firm, the Allied Syndi- cate.
 Tip-off came when the Bridges statements were delivered by mis- take to the wrong part of the Cap itol. A press attendant called Bridg- es' office to straighten out the er- , TOT, but no one in the Senator's of flee seemed to know about it. They didn't even know that he was mak- ing a statement on foreign policy
 Later, Arthur Reilly, former John L. Lewis presentations man strengthened out the matter of th' misplaced Bridges press releases.
 Reilly, after serving in United Mine Workers headquarters, trans ferred to the Washington office O the Allied Syndicate, which work for Lewis. The Bridges statement incidentally, was prepared while th' Senator was. out of the city.
 So it looks as if the S35,000 sal ary paid by John L. Lewis wa: producing more from Senator Bridg es than his services as trustee or the Miners Pension Fund.
