Crime Probe
To Be Stepped
Up Next Week
Senote's District Unit
To Review Inquiries
Of Past z Months

Action in the Senate District
Committee investigation of crime
and law enforcement here will be
stepped up next week with the re-
turn Of Congress.
An executive meeting of the
special crime subcommittee is to
be called as soon as its five mem
berS are back in Washington. Of
f1cials said. Efforts now are being
made to arrange a meeting about
the middle Of next week.
The purpose would be to give
the subcommittee headed by Dis
trict COMMITTEES Chairman Nicely,
a review of the closed investiga-
tions made during the last two
months by the special staff headed
by Arnold Bauman, New York law
yer.
Barrett to Testify.
The staff has been scrutinizing
income tax returns of various
members of the Metropolitan Po-
lice Department and others. as
well as the lengthy questionnaires
answered by nearly 800 members
OF the police force.
The first open session of the
inquiry has been scheduled for
January IA, when two witnesses
will be called before the Nealy
group. One is Robert j. Barrett,
former superintendent of police,
who was retired recently after
making a futile fight against the
Commissioners requirement that
police answer the questionnaires.
The other known witness for
the first session who has been
served with a subpoena, is Roger
Simpkins. colored, known as
''White-top," reputedly a backer
Of the numbers racket here.
Young Expected to be Called.
There have been rumors of 9TH
ers who would be called to the
witness stand to aid the commit
tee in its collection of facts about
crime and punishment here, but
so far Mr.. Bauman has withheld
comment.
1t has been expected, of course,
that the committee eventually will
call up Commissioner John Rus
sell Young for testimony, since he
supervises the Police Department,
and various police and prosecution
officials.
Another mentioned is Daniel
Maher, attorney, formerly en-
ployed as a special counsel to the
Commissioners and who was
among attorneys who attended the
earlier crime hearings by the Da-
Wis subcommittee Of the House
District Committee. Mr.. Maher,
now in private practice, formerly
also was an assistant United
States attorney here.
Stofberg interviewed.
Mr.. Bauman and his staff have
interviewed numerous persons in
and out of the Police Department
in the LIST two months. One of
the most recent. The Star learned,
was Charles Stofberg, formerly
administrative assistant to Com
missioner Young, now in business
with his brother in Baltimore.
An early move may be made to
seek Senate approval and funds
to extend the life of the crime in
quiry by the Senate District Com
mittee. This now runs to jan
uary 81.
Mr.. Bauman already has de-
clared he feels the task cannot
be completed by that time and
Chairman Nicely has agreed. Sen
ator Nicely has announced he is
ready to ask the Senate for more
time and funds and has voiced
belief both will be granted.

Cannery Markets Local Shrimp

The Island Seafoods Cannery recently sent a considerable shipment" of fresh Kodiak Island shrimp to the Anchor age market, Pete Deveau, owner of the cannery, said Wednesday.
 The shrimp, a half a boat load full, was brought to the cannery by Dave Murphy of Seldovia, who is fishing for the cannery.
 The shrimp were taken in the Old Harbor district by use of a beam trawl. Presence of shrimp around Kodiak Is- land has been known for years, but the taking of a quantity which would justify con- mercializing on the trade has not been made until recently.
 The Island Seafoods can- nery canned over 200 cases of Kodiak Island King Crab dur the past week.

Rent Ceiling Prices Told

If you are a tenant or land- lord in the newly re-establshed Kodiak Defense-Rental Area and are wondering what the maximum rent you should pay or charge, just turn the calen- dar back to July 1, 1850 and you have the answer.
 John K. Woolworth, field representative, office of Rent Stabilization, said today in answer to inquiries he has re- ceived that the maximum rent charged for that housing unit on the base date of July l, 1850.
 However, if the landlord made a major capital inn provement between July 1, 1850 and January 21, 1852 or increased or decreased the service between those dates and changed the rent to re- fleet this, he may now charge the first rent charged after the change was made, Wool worth said.
 For improvements or in- creases in services after Jan- vary 21, 1852 the landlord may not increase the rent un- til he has filed with the rent office and received a rent ad- justment order.
 A copy of the landlords registration statement listing the legal rent will be sent to each tenant following the registration.
 When a tenant receives his copy if he finds a mis-state- ment he is urged to write the local rent office.

that he is a man of courage and
character.
He seems a calm and friendly
man who controls his temper, does
not go off half-cocked and who is
wholly free from personal grudges
and animosity. This does not mean
Of course. that General Eisen-
hover is incapable Of anger or re-
sentiment. He will not be the kind
of President who can be pushed
around, bullied on bamboozled. 1t
does mean that he is strong enough
to be patient and tolerant. A
truthful man himself, apparently
he is not disposed to accuse those
who disagree with him of lying.
Nor is he likely to surround
those who disagree with him of
lying. Nor is he likely to surround
himself with shoddy, untruthful
men. Mistakes he will make, Of
course, but they are pretty sure to
be honest mistakes. For, distinct
ly he is neither a humbug nor a
hypocrite. We have not had this
sort of man in the White House
for a long time. TO most Ameri-
cans it will be a big relief. 1t is
easy to have confidence in such a
man.

writing definitely has come to an
end. These have been outstanding
features of the Truman Admins
tration just as political and per-
sonal vindictiveness marked the
thirteen years Of the Roosevelt re-
gime. 1t is not easy to find any
period Of American politics in
which partisan hate and personal
intolerance have exceeded the last
two decades.
Turbulence an belligerency
were traits which both Mr.. Roose-
welt and Mr.. Truman developed
early with their requirement of
presidential power. They assailed
and condemned; attacked and de-
nounced. In the last campaign Mr..
Truman let himself go farther in
this direction than any previous
President-so far, indeed, that
many felt he had degraded his Of
flee. Nor apparently has the more
than 6,500,000 Eisenhower major
ity convinced all the conspicuous
figures in the opposition that the
country was overwhelmingly for
the General and against the
Governor. On the contrary, some
of the "egg heads" as the intel
lectual speech-wliting aides to Mr.
Stevenson came to be called, seem
determined to continue the fight
along the same abusive and de-
mandatory lines. The contrast be-
tween all this and the Eisenhower
attitude is marked and significant.
For example, when Mr. Truman
insultingly and publicly declared
and recently reiterated-at a
press conference that General
likes visit to Korea was sheer
piece of demagoguery," instead
of replying in kind the General
completely ignored this cheap and
unfounded charge. And when Sena-
tor Taft, declaring the appoint
ment of Mr.. Durkin as Secretary
of Labor 'incredible," the init
nation being that the General had
sold out to the big labor bosses
who had opposed him and wanted
to repeal the Taft-Hartley Act,
the General had no comment at
all. Both of these charges could
have been met with strong re-
pudiation and sharp retort.
But though his close associates
admitted that the General felt
badly about both the Truman and
Taft attacks, he said nothing. I'm
questionably his refusal to blast
back at either was the most effec-
tive thing he possibly could have
done. The Generals refusal to
answer their violent and offensive
assaults went a long way to null
lily them. While some of the still
hostile journalists and politicians
attempted to use these incidents
as anti-Eisenhower ammunition,
the net effect seems to have
strengthened the General and
weakened his opponents. Certain
ly it has been made clear that the
President-elect is not quarrel
some man-nor one easily pro
voked to wrath. He does not need

Among the changes which will
occur as result of the new Ad-
ministration is a change-a very
great change-in the atmosphere
Of the White House, which logical
ly should be reflected through the
whole Congress and generally
through the whole federal struc-
ture. Signs of this change already
have been given since the election
and rather widely noted.
Primarily, this change is not
concerned with political issues or
policies. 1t is based on the differ
cnces between the personality and
temperament Of the incoming
President and that of his two
predecessors. Those who know
General Eisenhower best and have
had opportunities to observe his
reactions to criticism and attack
are convinced that the era of White

BABSON Discusses Free Power

NEW BOSTON Mass, September 12-The time
mas come for John L. Lewis to demand increased
wages, pensions and fringes for his coal miners
Although he will curtail some of his demands TO
enable the coal operators to save face" neverthe
less he will get substantial gains This is because
his labor union controls what is now an important
source of power light and heat
THE COAL OUTLOOK
However, Mr.. Lewis power is gradually dimin-
tshing For instance, ten years ago the annual out
put of bituminous coal was 5141OOOOO tons While
our total national industrial production has risen
about third since 1941, the output of coal has in
creased only about 40. Yet every victory" by
Mr. Lewis means an increase in the price of coal
and downward pressure on production.
This does not mean that any investor should
sell his coal securities. Coal is very rich in vital
chemicals hundred years from now our descend
ants will wonder why we permitted valuable coal
to be burned up. Already coal is being used t. make
textiles, pastics, dyes, building materials and i'm
pOTtant pharmaceutical products The list includes
hundreds of products from the clothes which keep
warm to the vtamins which keep us we'll
OIL OUTLOOK
Experts once thought that the oil supply would
be exhausted in about thirty years But today there
is more proven oil available than ever before New
fields is the new WillistOn field in The Dakotas
and Western Canada.

source of most of the power then used by the mills
of New England. In my home town of Gloucester,

power for industry. Then almost every Ameri-
farm had windmill, which has now been SUPERB
seeded by gasoline engines or electric motors
ATOMIC POWER
Many magazine stories have been written to the
effect that Atomic power will take the place of coal
and oil in connection with public utilities,
ships and arplanes. I doubt if any readers of this
column though, will live to see this change. Atomic
power may postpone World War III for many years
The dangers of using Atomic power appear now to
make it impossible for any hut very large users.
President COnant of Harvard University sug
gests that before Atomic power is used the heat of
the will be harnessed Already this heat is being
used by householders in southern Florida a
for hot water. Houses have been built in New Eng
land heated by the suns rays. But no cases exist
where the is operating factories of any kind
When, however, a method of Harvesting the suns
rays to operate irrigation pumps is discovered, the
deserts certainly will blossom like a rose"
GRAVITY POWER

daton at New Boston. New Hampshire. Here are

ers" like myself, who are interested in finding a
partial insulator, dehector, absorber of gravity
