Representatives Of the District
Health Department and the In
structive Visiting Nurse Society
today failed to reach an agree
|ment on their respective roles
in nursing patients on public as
sistance.
Commissioner Renah F. CANA
lier at a meeting of the two
groups today suggested that the
two agencies get together. work
out a mutually acceptable plan
and come back to the city heads
with it.
A tug of war developed between
the departments and the Com
munity Chest-supported Society
following appropriation this fiscal
year of $25.000 in the Health
Department budget to pay the
society for visits to patients on
public assistance.
This drew protest from Health
Director Daniel l.. Seckinger, who
complained his departments bud
get already had been severely cut.
Until this year, the Nurse Society
has received no pay for its visits
to public assistance patients.
Gallinger Stops Calls.
Early in July, Gallinger Hospital
without explanation began cutting
off it's calls to the society for home
visits to maternity patients re-
leased from the hospital.
These calls had averaged about
80 a week. Now only a few are
being received, although other
types of calls are being continued
by the hospital.
The society complained that 1t
could obtain no official explana-
ton Of the new procedure. and
Expressed concern that many new
mothers, released from the hos
pital in two or three days, were
not receiving nursing visits.
The meeting today was sched-

situation.

Spurred by Daniel A. Dugan,
Arlington officials are setting out

county.
At special county board meet
ing last night Mr.. Dugan told the
other members of the board he
will present, to Commonwealth
Attorney William j. Hassan, evil
dence that a crime syndicate Is
trying to take over the county.
The board member promised

Conferences Planned.
Board Chairman Robert w.
Cox said the board should find
out If there is a mess in Arling-
ton." The members Informally
agreed to hold closed sessions
with the county manager and
commemorative attorney to de-
eide whether an Investigation
should be made.
Mr.. Dugan, who had previously
proposed that the board ask Gov.
Battle to order an Investigation
OF crime in the county, agreed the
conferences will be useful. The
manager, A. r. Lundberg, also in
dorsed the idea.

Lundberg said, who MIR. Dugan

Arlington is a rich county" Mr..
lDugan said. "and any crime syn
dicate is tempted by money. There
are too many numbers men and
horse bet players in this county
not to have a boss"
MIR. Hassan said he is being
handed "a smoldering ball which
may or may not burst into flame"
He added. however, that the mass
arrest Of liquor violators last Sat-
urday night, after eight weeks
work by undercover men, indicates
"a possibility that a great deal
more undercover work Is needed"
Board Member Alfred E. Frisbie
said he has great confidence in
the Police Department. Morale in

FBI Records Cited.
Mr.. Dugan had cited statistics.
which. he said, showed a serious
failure by the department to solve
serious crimes. Mr.. Lundberg cited
FBI reports as evidence that the
county's record compares favor
ably with other areas of similar
size in the Nation.
MIR. Dugan also expressed dis
satisfaction with an editorial in
The Star on August IL. The edi-
torial referred to his call for an
investigation by the Governor as

ing to try to win a new steel. plant

Senator Byrd said last night hi

Trial Board Clears
PoIiceman-Cashier Of
P'eep-5hoW' Charges

A police trial board today
cleared Pvt. LaVelle Edmiston of
charges of conduct unbecoming an
officer. and Immediately restored
him to duty.
The accusation grew out of a
job he held at a Ninth street
peep show during off f-duty
hours. The 39-year-old first pre-
cinct policeman had been sus-
pended after being charged fol-
lowing police raids on IA amuse-
ment arcades May II.
He already has been acquitted
of criminal charges that he pos
sessed indecent films with intent
to exhibit them.
The suspended 1st precinct po-
liceman sat through three hours
of proceedings yesterday. during
which some of the films con-
f1scated on the raids were
shown. In an unprecedented ac-
tion, the board chairman, InSpec-
tor George r. Wallrodt. barred re-
porters from viewing the movies.
Earlier, Inspector Charles j.
Sullivan had denounced the pic
lures as morally offensive and
lascivious. But Defense Attorney
Robert Chalfonte said a person
could see more on visit to the
National Gallery of Art.
% Seized in Raids.
Pvt. Edmiston was among 90
persons arrested in raids on
arcadeS on Ninth street and in
the 1900 block of New York ave-
nue. NV.
Inspector Wallrodt said he
ousted newSmen during the
screening because comment from
the press" on the films might
prejudice the cases either of the
Government or of the defendants
in the other trials. Later, how
ever. on learning Police Supt. |
Robert v. Murray disapproved of
his action, the inspector admitted
he would have let reporters see
the controversial movies had he
known Maj. Murray's views.
Worked There for Year.
Pvt. Edmiston testified he had
been working for about a year
as a money changer for an ar
cade in the 400 block of Ninth
street NV.
Another witness, Chester S.
Mattingly, IS, of the 1000 block
of Eighteenth street NE, iden-
titled himself as manager of the
