Bullock May File Suil
This Week 10 Force
Immediate Retirement

Police Inspector Albert I. Bull.
lock may file suit in District Court
this week to try to force the Dis
trict Commissioners to grant his
request for immediate retirement
His attorney, Charles E. Ford
disclosed yesterday that he is
weighing such a maneuver and
said there Is "a very good chance
he will launch 1t.
Inspector Bullock is entitled by
right to be retired now." MIR. Ford
said. "It's a vested right he has
earned by putting in the required
Is years service and reaching the
|age Of S."
"Perils Of Pauline"
The lawyer wondered aloud
"how long can this retirement
thing be carried on-six months,
eight months? It's been going on
a month already.
"It's getting like the 'Perils OF
Pauline chapter after chapter
like a long serial" he said.t
The present chapter of Mr.
Ford's serial" is due to conclude
Tuesday. At that time District
Court Judge James r. Kirkland
will announce whether the Dis
trict Commissioners are entitled to
study the minutes Of the grand
jury which indicted Inspector Bull
lock, two other police figures and
13 others last October % on gam
bling conspiracy charges.
Acquitted January 10.
Inspector Bullock was acquitted
January % on a directed verdict
by Judge Kirkland. He has been
on leave Of absence since. The
other defendants in the case, in
cluding Charles E. Nelson, later
were convicted.
On February IL, Inspector Bull
lock became eligible for voluntary
retirement, having reached his
55th birthday on that date and
having served more than Is years
on the force.
His retirement application came
before the Commissioners on
February is. The board, however
decided to defer action on II
pending report Of q special COM
mittee Of the District Bar Asso-
lciation. The committee earlier had
been named to recommend
whether the police official should
appear before the Police Trial
Board for possible disciplinary
action.
Want More information.
It is with the idea Of providing
this committee with further in
formation that the Commissioners
are seeking court release Of those

Free Medical Center
Opened for Members
OF Laborers' Unions

A free medical center for some
5000 members of the Laborers'
District Council and their families
was opened last night at 1901
Fourth street NV. with the aid
of the Medical Society of the
District, and the local Medico-
Chirurgical Society. v
The new center and clinic. oc-
cupying the ground fioor OF d
small office building, has been
provided with II private rooms
for patients and a staff Of a
dozen physicians recommended by
the two medical societies for part
time or temporary duty pending
appointment Of a medical director.
To Serve 10000.
The Labor Medical Center will
be opened tomorrow. it was an
nounced, for service to the mem
bers Of seven locals affiliated with
the AFL Council and members of
their families estimated at some
20, 900 persons.
DR.. Frank Costenbader. presi-
dent of the medical society, said
the society had agreed to act in
an advisory capacity to a clinic
of this type for the first time
in its history dating back to the
1830's.
Last nights formal opening was
addressed by Leo Nazdin, presi-
dent Of the Laborers' District
Council, who helped plan the clinic
with the aid Of local AFL officials
and members Of the two medical
groups.
The union members. about 90
per cent Of whom are colored. have
been covered by medical insurance
for year and q half, although
they have applied for relatively
little service available to them dur
ing that time, the medical society
was told.
Two-Fold Program.
Union officials suggested a two
fold program to insure full bene-
fits under the plan--an educa-
tional drive to acquaint members
with the Importance Of early dag
Inosis and treatment Of their all
ments, and an adequate medical
service in the form Of a we'll
equipped clinic.
The society appointed a COM
mittee to cooperate with the
union and the Medico- Ghirugical
Society. This consisted of DR..
Clayton b. Etheridge, chairman:
and Drs. Philip A. Caulfield,
George r. Farrell, Donald Stubbs
and Charles Stanley White.
Advisory Board Proposed.
This group recommended that a
permanent Medical Advisory Com
mittee be appointed from mem
bers Of the two societies and the
union. When this group Is formed,
it will submit the names of several
physicians to the union who are
qualified for appointment as med
ical director, it was said.
The committee, also will assist
the director in planning an ade-
quate medical care program and
completing a staff of assistants.
AFL officers told the medical
society they have no plans to ex-
tend the free clinic plan beyond
the low-income group in the la
horers' locals.
The other unions, it was said,
will continue the ordinary pa
tient. and physician relationship. =
Labor union members, however,
will be permitted to obtain the
services Of private physicians of
their choice If they wish, with the
services being paid for BY the
union.
