Police Setup Studied
For Improvements,
Commissioner Says
Need Of Inquiry
By Outside Experts
To Be Determined

The District Commissioners are
studying the existing organiza-
ton Of the Police Department for
possible improvements.
This is what Commissioner r.
Joseph Donohue, chairman of the
Board Of Commissioners, told a
radio audience last night over
Station WWDC.
Mr.. Donohue said the city faith
ers are seeking to find out if it
is necessary to bring in outside
experts to survey the Police De-
partment. Such a course was
recommended by the Senate Crime
Investigating Committee. he re-
called. But he pointed to the
high cost of such an undertaking.
Cites Precinct Visits.
Commissioner Donohue gets a
great deal Of personal satisfaction
in inspecting the various police
precincts, he told the radio audi
ence. And on these tours, he said
he tells the policemen the Board
Of Commissioners expects to set
a high degree Of public integrity
and he wants the men in uniform
to follow this example.
The Commissioner said he is
not relying on a code of ethics,
such as that promulgated recently
by the Police Department. to
maintain honesty. He said it is
what is in mans heart and mind
that really counts. He pointed out
that for years lawyers-his own
profession-have had a code Of
ethics, but some members some
times go astray.
There should be a 10 per cent
increase in pay across the board
for uniformed men, he said. and
the next Congress will be asked
to approve this program. On his
tours. Commissioner Donohue said.
he tells the policemen the citizens
are solidly behind them in this
endeavor. And as an illustration,
he cited the unanimous action Of
the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations in supporting higher pay
for them.
Satisfied So Far.
The Commissioner said he is
satisfied with the Police Depart
ment's cleanup campaign efforts
so far. But he reminded that this
is a never lending problem.
While Commissioner Donohue
thinks some gamblers are coming
out of their holes, he does not
think the big operators are back
in business.
All the information he receives
from private sources. including
fellow lawyers. is to the effect that
the bigtime gamblers have gone
out of business, he said.

"a nuluUcT VI CIlllOT6u ana young
mothers at the Anderson Ortho-
pedic Hospital in Arlington, Va,
are beginning the long. slow task
of making the best recovery pos
sible from this summers ravages
of infantile paralysis.
The hospital has 13 cases re-
leased from the isolation wards of
other hospitals now that their
normal temperature shows that
the danger of contagion Is over.
Army Sergeant's Daughter.
Three year old Jean Sibley,
daughter of a sergeant at Fort
Myer. was having fun on the
swings Of the post playground In
July. Toward the end of the month
she came down with a head cold
and fever. For two weeks she was
checked at the post dispensary
and given medicine but the fever
did not disappear.
Then she was sent to the hos
pital at Fort Belvoir, where a
spinal test showed she had polio.
AS in so many cases. she had spent
most of the contagious period at
home. She has a five-year -old
brother. but he did not contract it.
She was at the Fort Belvoir
hospital only two days when the
fever subsidized. Two days later she
was released from isolation and
sent to the Anderson Hospital.
The National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis is underwriting
her hospital bills as it is the other
cases at the hospital.
Jean has a decided weakness
in the right leg. She can hardly
move it. But the doctors say she
may be able to go home in Sep
tember, and they give her parents
high hopes that she will have a
full recovery.
Iron Lung Patient.
The outpatient clinic of the hos
pital is giving periodic treatments
to victims of polio of past sum-
mers. One of them is Roland
Walker, a student at Fairfax High
School, who was in an iron lung
last summer. Roland was at the
hospital all last winter. Before he
was stricken he had hopes of
getting a job driving one of the
Fairfax school buses while con-
tinuing in high school. While he
has great difficulty in walking to-
day, he drives his car to the hos
pital for the treatments-walking
up and down a stile with hand
rails, etc.
There are five bed patients in
the solarium of the hospital, three
OF them young mothers.
One of them, Mrs. Margaret
Kressley, "a, of 1716 Abingdon
drive. Alexandria. Va, says with
determination:
II am going to be completely
cured"

and IL months old. Her legs are

MORE ON LOST RIVER

Continued from Page One) an average of a dozen white and 40 Eskimo employees have done this at Lost River:
 Rehabilitated the bunkhouse, machine-shop and office buildings left by the 1917 entrepreneurs; cleaned the 400-foot tunnel, sunk a 2OO-foot shaft, and bored new mill-access tunnel; built com pletely new 100-ton pilot mill; erected quonset and other housing for village of around 100 people; trained Eskimos, who formerly knew only hunting and fishing, to man the mine and the mill.
 Production at Lost River is just around the corner. It awaits only the tapping of water source known to exist within the mine. When this writer left Lost River last Saturday, the diamond drill was within few feet of this water source.
 When it is reached, and the ore begins to flow through the mill, it will be as John Kakaruk and William Oquilluk wrote recently in the Mukluk Telegraph:
 Everybody will have smiling face then"
 The amazing progress made at Lost River did not just happen, of course. It is due to the excep- tional ability of Paul M. Sorensen, general superintendent.
 His careful planning, his Selec- ton of key men to teach and to lead the Eskimos, and his sym pathetic understanding of the na- tives' problems, have put Lost River on the map.
 This summer will bring new housing, a recreation hall, and better living in general for the pioneers" of the past nine months.
 It is entirely within the realm of possibility that this new mine, producing a new ore by means of the labor of a new people, some day will make history that will dim the lustrous records of Nome, Juneau and the other gold camps. Legal Blanks at The Nugget office

Negotiations Now In Most Critical Stage
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER

WASHINGTON, (P) - T h e Korean truce negotiations now are moving through the most critical stage in many months.
 Officials here believe that a de- cisive turn toward either a break down or an agreement may come within a few days.
 There is much less optimism here now about the chances for an agreement than was apparent 10 days ago. The reason: still sec ret Allied proposal which were supposed to ease acceptance by the Reds of voluntary prisoner return apparently have not had the hoped-for results.
 The Communist attitude has been demonstrated in a new wave of propaganda attacks on the United States from the Red Chi nese radio at Peiping. The Reds have charged America with spreading 'artifically inspired propaganda" of optimism to di- vert attention from the real is sues.

NegOtiators Disregard
 Nearby Artillery Barrage

MUNSAN, (P) - Allied truce negotiations accused the Commun- ists Wednesday of dodging the main issue blocking arrangements for enforcing a Korean armistice.
 The Communists replied there would be "no progress at alp un- less the United Nations Command changed its attitude.
 The exchange ended a 19-min- ute session of staff officers at Panmunjom. It apeared more and more that the truce supervision negotiators were awaiting out come of secret negotiations in a neighboring tent on prisoner ex- change.
 During negotiations, Allied ar tillery shells burst in a brief but heavy barrage near the neutral zone. A Communist interpreter was reading a translation when the barrage opened. He hesitated a moment then went on. There was no other recognition of the war going on outside.

End EBENEZER

There will be no service at our
church Sunday. due to the death
of our pastor DR.. w. o. BARLEY.
Death came as no surprise to us,
as he had been asking God to
lower down the Chariot and let
him ride home.
DR.. BARLEY became critically i'll
Thanksgiving day and was car
ried to the Christian hospital
after DR.. Patterson said he was
too sick to remain at home. AS
they were rolling him out he
called twice to his wife and said,
"Sister Barley, I am going, good
bye!"
He was conscious until the end.
Tuesday night around 1880 he got
worse. DR.. Patterson was called
to the hospital. At 1870 DR.. Pat
tersoTo was there again. DR.. Bart
ley told him he was going to go
home to his loved ones. DR.. Pat
terson called his children, told
them to get all the family that
was concerned together because
he didn't think DR.. BARLEY would
be here much longer. When we
got to the hospital at 2:15 We'd
nesday morning, it was a beauti-
full sight. The three night nurses,
Mrs. Ruth S. Bullard, Mrs. Mar
garet I. Danes and Mrs. Mar
garet Bethel were standing over
him. His eyes were closed and ne
was smiling. Mrs. Margaret Beth
ell was reading the Bible very
slowly to him. When she would
stop to turn the pages, he would
open his eyes and say, "Oh, thank
you so much"
Mrs. Graves sang one of his
favorite songs, Hell Under
stand," to him and even though
he was crossing Jordan as fast
as he could, he sat up and sang
also. He told us that he wanted
to put on rally to save souls.
He was told that he was too sick
to think of other people. He had
carried their load long enough.
He said, "No, no, child, I am will
ing to do more"
We have lost a pastor, leader,
a burden bearer, as well as a true
Christian friend. He is our lost,
but Heavens gain.
