By Cecil Holland

A tariff expert yesterday sug-
gested a congressional inquiry
into whether Communication
mated Czechoslovakia is still re-
ceiving tariff benefits on some
goods shipped into this country.
The suggestion came from Ed
win G. Martin. former general
counsel of the United States
Tariff Commission.
Mr.. Martin. now in private prac-
tice here, called attention to an
obscure law under which he said
it might be possible for Czech
goods to be released in this
country despite the administra-
tons withdrawal of tariff bene-
fits effective last November 2.
He said he had been unable
to learn from the Commerce De-
partment whether any importers
of Czech goods had taken ad-
vantage of the little-known law.

After a prolonged delay. the

Martin said Congress might
want to close the loophole which
allows some goods to enter Amer

He pointed out that the Law
allows goods imported into thi.
country to be entered "for i'm.

But on those released from a

explained. the law permits liqui-

could have had goods transferred

Mr.. Martin said the importer
could store his goods as long a.

Police Seek Approval
10 Train Reservists
From Outside District

The Commissioners have been
asked by the Police Department
to change the regulations of the
Metropolitan Police Reserve Corps
to allow the department to get
recruits from the Metropolitan
Area. The nnlice are now restrict
ed to enrolling residents Of the
District only.
The request made at a board
meeting yesterday was taken un-
der consideration by the Com
|missioners.
The corps, which was organized
|on November %, 1913, to help the
regular police force in case of
riots, pestilence, invasion, inSur-
rection or other emergency, has
a quota of 1000 men and women,
but to date has been able to OBJ
tain only 1900.
Under the program no one
would have higher rank than
lieutenant and would not have
authority to give orders to pri-
Yates of the regular force.
The corps is receiving training
from precinct commanders. There
is no provision for compensation
for injury or disability so men,
bers have not been given street
training.
The police want a provision in
serted that would pay for injuries
and provide equipment.
The department said 1t is not
trying to get manpower from the
Metropolitan Area that would
cripple nearby Maryland and Vir-
iginia, but feels that with the train
ing the recruits would receive
from the police here they would be
'of value to their communities in
case they were needed there.
Inspector Lorraine T. johnson,
of the Metropolitan police, is in
charge of the program as liaiSon
