Gambler Gifts 10
Police Officers
BY the Associotsd Press

STAUNTON, Va, Sept. 5.-A
lfull-scale investigation of the
Staunton Police Department was
awaited today in the wake of
revelations that officers had ac-
lcepted favors from a man with
l"gambling connections"
The investigation of the police
force was ordered by the City
Council yesterday after a stormy
Itwo-hour session.
During the session it was dis
closed that:
/. Elmer L. Higgins. q slain
restaurant owner, had been in the
habit of making gifts to the police
department and allowed special
rates to policemen who ate at his
establishments.
2. Three city officials. the May
or, police chief and fire chief, had
taken a trip to Washington last
spring and had spent some time
with man known as Jimmy the
Greek" reputed gambler.
Suspension Case Probed.
The disclosures came to light
when council began probing into
the suspension of Police Sergt.
George r. Desper by City Mana
ger Seth Burnley.
Mr.. Burnley said he suspended
Sergt. Desper when he learned the
officer had gotten Higgins to in
dorSe a note for $500. The city
manager said he felt "the conf
dence in the department was be-
ing greatly impaired"
Higgins was slain by an un-
known killer August 2. Police
Chief E. l.. Bragg has said the
restaurant man had gambling
connections"
Higgins operated three restau-
rants in Staunton, and one of
them was managed by a former
police officer. E. B. Terry.
Chief Bragg told of a trip he,
Mayor William A. Grubert and
Fire Chief Eugene H. Dabney
made to Washington earlier in
the year with Terry.
He told council that the four
ran into Jimmy the Greek" there.
Chief Bragg said the Greek" left
them when they decided to go to
the American Leagues opening
day baseball game.
Admits Gifts Made.
The police chief admitted that
Higgins had been in the habit of
gifts to members of the
force. He said most of the time
the gifts consisted of large bas-
kets of fruit. Sometimes, he
added, there was a bottle of
whisky with the fruit.
At his three restaurants, Chief
Bragg declared, policemen could
buy dinners for one-half of what
it cost any other customer.
At the end of its session, coun-
Gil ordered Sergt. Desper re-
instated to duty after Council
man j. Joseph Kivligham said
the policeman had merely been
the victim of a system"

proper forum, how this might be
accomplished.
There are many well-eStab-
lished ways in which next steps
can be explored If there is g
genuine desire for peace in al.
quarters.
But these are not matters
which can be dealt with in oul
present conference. We have come
here to take a single step-but 8
step Of the utmost Importance.
The President also sought tc
mollify those nations which have
expressed dissatisfaction with the
mo reparations" policy of the
treaty, explaining that as drawn
it recognizes the principle of re-
endorsement for the victims OF
Japanese aggression ''but it does
not saddle the Japanese people
with a hopeless burden of repara-
tions which would crush their
economy for years to come"
President Truman attempted
too. to quiet fears of a resurgent
Japanese militarism.
Stressing that "the Pacific area
is greatly affected by outright
aggression and by the threat OF
further armed attack" MIR. Tru-
man warned that there can be nc
progress unless the Japanese peo-
pie and their neighbors in the
Pacific are made secure against
the threat of aggression.
"One Of our primary concerns
in making peace with Japan,
therefore" he amplified, "is to
make Japan secure against ag-
gression and to provide that
Japan, in its turn, will so conduct
itself as not to endanger the
security of other nations. To ac-
complish this. it is important to
bring Japan under the principles
OF the United Nations and within
the protection Of the mutual obli-
cations Of United Nations men,
bers."
Discusses Forces in Japan.
In this same connection, the
President also stressed the ad-
visibility of bringing Japan into
a regional security pact--a step
in prospect-akin to those the
United States has negotiated with
the Philippines, Australia and New
Zealand.
The President also took up the
bilateral arrangement for station
ing American forces in Japan, one
Of the moves objected to by India
in boycotting the treaty confer
ence.
Japan'S unarmed state and hel
vulnerability to attack calls fol
such measures, Mr.. Truman as.
serted.
But he followed this with 9
friendly gesture toward the
Asiatic countries, explaining thai
we in the United States respect
and support the many new fret
and independent nations in thu
Pacific area and Asia"
Offering aid in agricultural anC
industrial development, there the
President said that I'VE want tt
see them grow and prosper, a.
equal partners in the community
