have been trying for almost two
days to trap q dog, stranded on
Theodore Roosevelt Island in the
Potomac, and believed slowly

The animal. gray German or

proach them. and kept watch
through binoculars.

Brig. Gen. Wade II. Haislip.
governor Of Soldiers Home, has
asked that a blanket prohibition
|of hard liquor sales in the conn
mercial section at the home en-
trance, Rock Creek Church road
and Upshur street NV. be put
into effect.
The establishment, which houses
about r1,500 veterans, is getting
tired Of repeatedly running to the
Alcohol Beverage Control Board
to protest applications by dealers
who want hard liquor licenses
near the main entrance. Two
applications are expected to come
up again soon, the general said.
The places In question now sell
beer. and home authorities have
no objection to this practice. In
fact several months ago. the home,
canteen itself began selling beer
to encourage the veterans TO quaff
their suds safe from the evils Of
the outer world.
Commissioner r. Joseph Dono-
hue. who expressed sympathy for
Gen. Haislip's views. says that one
of the fears is that the soldiers
are put upon by thieves and
questionable women, once beyond
the gate.
Gen. Haislip has argued, inore-
over. that the sale Of liquor close
to, the home would be tragic
blow to the health. safety and
morals" Of the members Of the
home.
A long time ago Congress itself
forbade liquor sales within q one
mile radius. Now the general is
relying on the Commissioners
power to declare any District area
out-of-bou as far as concerns
liquor licenses.

he declared.

whatever influence I can muster
to turn that plank into action and
give the bona flde residents Of this
great city the voice that is due
them in the election of those who
serve IN Government"
Gov. McKeldin then launched
into . political speech to fire up
the Young Republicans. He re-
ferred to the Administration as
the mink Dynasty" and the
''Plundering Plutocrats Of the
Potomac"
The need for suffrage in the
District also was stressed earlier
by Carl L. Shipley. president Of
the District Young Republicans
Club In remarks to the delegates.
Mr.. Shipley reminded them that
"np one here has the right to
vote" He said that Congress
apparently felt that the citizens
Of the District can't be trusted to
run the city. He asked the dele
gates to keep in mind that District
residents wanted to vote and to
speak to their Congressional dele
gatioS shout the matter.

First-Rote Advisers

The people OF Washington will have conf
dence in the men who have been picked by the
District Bar Association to advise the Commits
sioners in the current investigation of the Police
Department.
It is three-man advisory committee. Two
Of its members, Francis W. HILL jr, and John L.
Laskey, are former presidents of the bar associa-
tion MIR. Laskey and the third member, John
]. Wilson, have a record of experience in the
United States Attorneys Office, while Mr.. Hill
served four years as assistant corporation counsel
This background gives ample assurance that
they will not conduct any witch hunt, but that,
on the contrary, their recommendations to the
Commissioners win be based squarely on the evil
dence. Something of this sort is needed to insure
public confidence in the end result of the crime
investigation and any related proceedings The
final responsibility of course, rests with the
Commissioners. They must decide who. if any
body, is to be prosecuted on what charges. But
the advice of the bar association committee will
be most helpful, and the Commissioners decision
to seek it was wise one.
