Nicely 10 Sponsor
Bill on Reyokinu
Police Pensions
Wants Commissioners
To Have Power in
Misconduct Cuses

Chairman Nicely of the Senate
District Committee yesterday de-
clared he would sponsor bill to
give the Commissioners power to
revoke pensions of policemen
guilty of improper conduct while
on active duty.
The West Virginia Democrat
also heads the District Crime sub
committee. It was before his COM
mittee that former Police Chief
Robert j. Barrett refused to dis
cuss finances.
The commissioners have ap-
proved informally such bill. It
would empower them to revoke
police or firemen's pensions when
pensioners refuse. to testify in
court or Congress because of pos
Sible self discrimination.
Senator Nicely declared:
ut is an outrage to the taxpayer
of Washington.
Sees 1t as Wise Bill.
He said he felt the proposed
bill was a wise one. He said he
would personally sponsor the bill
when the commissioners send it
to Capitol Hill and would do his
best to get it passed this session
Of Congress.
The proposed legislation is q
direct outgrowth of Maj. Barrett's
refusal to explain to the Crime
Subcommittee how he obtained
some $1,000 which the subcom-
mittee investigators said he spent
above his income in a 33-month
period. The subcommittee investi-
gators also turned up several other
ranking policemen who spent more
than their reported incomes.
1--WE should not be expected to
pay these men PENSIONS" Senator
Nicely declared.
Corporation Council Vernon E.
West is expected to have the bill
in final form by the end of this
week.
Court Conviction Required.
The Commissioners hope to get
the power to revoke the pensions
if it is shown to their satisfaction
that the pensioner has committed
an act of moral turpitude while on
active duty. The present law gives
that power only if a. court convic-
ton is obtained.
The proposal also provides for
no statute of limitations. Thus
whenever the offense was discov-
cred, the pension could be revoked.
Meanwhile, the Central Suf-
frage Committee seized the oppor-
tunity to point out that the lack
of a vote and the denial of the
right to elect local municipal Off
cials here has tied the hands of
Washington residents in the fight
against crime.
Howard Rea, president of the
committee, pointed to the events
leading up to the Commissioners
proposing the bill to revoke pen
sions as evidence of the need for
the vote in Washington.
Mr.. Rea declared:
1.-THE voteless Americans living
in Washington appeal to the vot-
ers in the 48 States to help clean
up the shocking crime and moral
laxity that has been exposed in
Washington by the Senate Crime
Committee.
"DisenfranchiSed residents in
the Nations Capital can no long
er console themselves with the
false supposition that their Colo
nial form of city government is a
model one uniquely free from civic
vice. The people of the District
should be very grateful to the
Senate Crime Committee for this
further demonstration that the
voteless city of Washington is not
above and beyond the corrective
virtues of the ballot box"
