Donation Of Hospital
Is Offered for D. T..
Civil Defense Use

The Federal Civil Defense Ad-
ministration wants the District
to accept a 200-bed civil defense
hospital setup which would ulti-
mately serve as a standby facility
for emergency use.
The hospital unit, which con-
sists of 280 items valued at $685.
844, is now at Saratoga Springs,
N. Y. This site, however, is in
accessible for the Federal agency
to use it for demonstration and
display.
District Health Director Daniel
L. Seckinger said the FCDA is
anxious to install the unit in an
old school building or similar
structure.
The Federal agency would
demonstrate the equipment for
from two to four months. After
this period, rather than Grating
the unit and shipping it to a
Federal storage warehouse, FCDA
would leave the equipment in the
District as an auxiliary hospital
for disaster use.
Both DR.. Seckinger and Dis
trict Civil Defense Director John
E. Fondahl favor the proposal
Commissioner Camalier said he
will submit it to the Commits
SionerS next week.

These money chests weigh
from 1,100 to 1900 pounds and
can't be carried OF without q
crane. They are encased by drill
proof steel, reinforced with many
inches of concrete and equipped
with self-locking devices.
A self-locking device automat-
ically drops in place when a dial
is forced. Then it may take an
expert from the safe company
hours to unlock it.
New Methods Devised.
Thieves these days employ
three main methods of breaking
open a safe-rip, punch and pull.
as they are called. A crowbar
or hammer and chisel is used to
force open a safe in the rip job.
The dial is knocked of and the
pin driven in by punch job crack
ers. A wrench is used to twist
off the dial in the pull jobs.
SafecrackerS often work long

United States Attorney Leo
Rover told this to a meeting of

He cited the shortage Of as
sistant prosecutors in the Mu-
nicipal Court, where six persons
must prosecute 5000 cases a
year. Mr.. Rover said there
should be at least Is assistants
In that court.
The District has an honest
police force and an efficient

he is sure it will have an
efficient United States Attorneys 6
office because of the men

self"
But you can't pull law en-
forcement out Of the sky" the
prosecutor said. He called on

fore the Congressional commit
tees to get more money to hire
more men for better law en-
xforcement.

Board Of Education
ToDeeide on Opening
lis Budget Hearings

The District Board of Educa-
ton may soon abandon a long
standing policy of secret budget
meetings.
Board members broke prece-
dent yesterday and opened a
session of the boards Finance
Committee to newspaper re-
porters
Today Finance Chairman
Robert r. Faulkner said, as far
as he is concerned. the open
door policy will stick in the
future.
Sharpe to Ask Board.
Board President c. Melvin
Sharpe said, however, that he
intends to ask the board to de-
eide the question formally.
And Mr.. Sharpe said he will
ask board members whether
they want to seek legislative
authority to keep the sessions
closed, instead. Earlier he had
said he favored such a step.
Board members decided to
open yesterdays session after
reporters appeared at the sched-
uled starting time. They were
asked to leave briefly while the
members decided and then in
vited back in.
Reporters raised the question
of the secret sessions last month.
At that time Mr.. Sharpe, Mr..
Faulkner and Walter N. Tobriner
like Mr.. Faulkner a lawyer
member-agreed the board ap-
peared to have been violating the
law in closing finance meetings.
But reporters again were ex-
cluded at a subsequent session
on the 1954-5 budget.
Precedent in Hearing.
Yesterdays meeting was a fol-
loWup on a recent public hear
ing on that budget. The public
hearing also broke precedent,
since the board traditionally has
kept budget requests secret until
their publication by the Com
misSionerS. .--
The 1906 law governing board
operations says all board meet
ings must be open to the public
Except committee meetings deal
ing with the appointment of
teachers"
Mr.. Sharpe said the board def
initely has been violating this
provision.

ployes to protest commercial use

Consu|fant Suggests
Transit Permit With
1O-Cent Cash Fare

Edward A. Roberts, New York
consultant testifying in the
Capital Transit Co. rate hearing
case, today spoke favorably to-
ward instituting a weekly passen-
ger permit for transit riders
here.
Mr.. Roberts, q witness for the
District Public Utilities Commits
sion, never has come out fatty
recommending rider permits in
the present case. In a sample
new fare structure, however, he
submitted seven possibilities for
increasing cash and token fares
and in each proposal added a
weekly permit that would cost rs
cents and would entitle passen-
gers using the permit to pay only
10 cents cash per trip.
Ten Trips at Rush Hours.
Under croSs-examination by
Company Attorney Vernon JUS
tice. the witness testified the
permit would be most attrac-
tive" to passengers making from
IL to Is trips per week. The
first 10 of these trips, he figured,
would be made during rush
hours. Trips in excess of 10, he
went on, would give the COM
pany additional revenue that it
does not now get.
Mr.. Justice inquired whether
Mr.. Roberts thought the weekly
permit would be discriminatory
to cash and token passengers.
The witness replied it was partly
true but added that the permit
would be Complementary" to
the cash and token fare. Fl.
Passes Handed Around.
Discussing the present weekly
pass, which the transit company
wants abolished, the consultant
observed that its biggest abuse
has been the widespread practice
of purchasers lending their
passes to others.
But if this commission orders
the permit won't it be a step in
the dark?" Mr.. Justice asked.
Eyes, except for the light !
have shed on it in my testi-
mony." the consultant answered.
The transit company seeks to
abolish the weekly pass, raise
cash fares to 20 cents and to
sell tokens five for 95 cents.
Fares now are II cents cash, five
tokens for rs cents, and a weekly
pass may be purchased for $40.

The advent Of modern safes

night repositories in banks have
helped make safecracking un-

who exploded safes in the last
10 years." says 1t. Irving Lubore,
head of the Metropolitan Police
safe squad. "Those three used
dynamite and weren't what you
would call experts. They were
arrested about three years ago
and are serving long terms in
prison now"
1t. Lubore points out that
when expert safecracking was in

amounts of money were kept in
old safes.

Nitro Used at Meade.
Capt. Mahaney says the last
experts dropped out Of sight in
Washington around the early
1905 (around the time modern
safes came into use) Fort Meade
authorities reported that an ex-
pert nitro-glycerine job was
pulled a few months ago-it
crossed only $500-but that
this indicates a return Of this
forgotten trade seems unlikely.
"As for the boys who sand
papered their fingers to make
them sensitive, they are useless
these days." 1t. Lubore empha-
sizes. When working on old
safes, they could feel the tum-
blers fall into place by the vi
brations. That's impossible with
modern safes. Also the expert
| in the old days luckily could
make a hit when a safe only had
100 combinations. Now they have
almost a million"
If merchants would follow 1t
Lubore's advice. his squad could
have less work.
Most so-called safes that are
broken into are no more than
large cabinets for records" 1t
Lubore explains.
"The safe companies make
them to hold important papers
not money. Merchants should
buy money chests to keep large
amounts if necessary and de-
posit their daily receipts ir
night repositories. That would
practically end safe jobs"

agreed to lure the animal to
the front of his cage.
After some hesitation, one
came forward when Mr.. Bloom
waved a handful of cooked meat
he had borrowed from a keeper
in front of the animals cage.
Asked about his business of
catching wild animals. he said:
"As far as I am concerned,
it's just a job, and it's not like
the movies" He declared that,
as an example. "you don't have
a long line of native bearers
wearing those white hats"
Mr.. Bloom said he and part
ner hired native help whenever
it was needed. On his latest
trip, his seventh. they captured
about 100 animals.
"We had about dozen boys
lifting up stones, and when the
hyrax came out of his hole, we
caught him in a sack" he de-
clared.
Mr.. Bloom said the civets were
captured in "glorified mouse
traps" AS to the larger animals,
some are driven into an en-
closure. Others are lassoed by
ropes tied to long bamboo poles
while driving a car along beside
them.

Essex, likes to follow up his ami
mails to their destination.
He is in this country for the

again this October.
DR.. Mann and his guest de-
cided to take time off from Zoo

relaxation. They attended the
Shrine circus in Alexandria and
had a look at the animals.
