Police Can Work
AT Un-PoIiceIike
Extra Jobs Only

Police Chief Robert v. Murray
told puzzled policemen today
that they can't take of duty
jobs in which they would have
to act like policemen.
The chief sent out a clarifica-
ton order of a recent ruling con-
cerning jobs policemen may un-
dertake off-duty. Generally, he
said, it bars any type Of job in
which they might have to take
police action. or any job in which
the public would be unduly in
fluenced because they were po-
licemen.
Some examples he listed: Col
lection agents, repoSsessors of
merchandise, operators of pub
lie vehicles, sightseeing guides,
tavern employees, guards or
watchmen. Today's clariflcation
was issued because the Depart
ment had received many in
quiries on just what types Of out
side jobs policemen could take.

Both Sides 10 Be Heard

they get both sides of the stories.
In the absence of a unanimous
decision by the Board of Revoca-
ton and Restoration of Hackers

heads will now hear representa-
tives of both the majority and
minority decisions.
Until now the procedure has
been for the Commissioners

the cases for review, regardless
of how he may have voted. The

In 1908 the Wright brothers
put together some baling wire.
cloth, shellac and a motor.
Exactly fifty years ago today their
craft climbed into the air for IL
to Is seconds and flew a full
120 feet-man's first powered
fight and the birth Of the air.
plane.
But in 1907 Lee De Forest,
the famous inventor, put another
kind of wire inside a vacuum
tube. Science was given a new
world Of electronics to explore.
Without this discovery today's
complicated airplane would not
be possible.
In this 50th year Of powered
flight an electronic tube is prac-
tically invisible compared with
a 70,000-pound plane. But these
tubes, many no bigger than a
thumbnail. are the brains which
actuate the airplane.
In q modern aircraft these
tubes may number into hun
dreds, or thousands. The life
of a pilot depends on them as
he sweeps through the sky at a
speed of more than 600 miles
an hour.
Look to Outer Space.
The tubes not only make flying
safer but are pointing the way
to scientists in their efforts to
conquer space itself. But the
transition from the "fy-by-the-
seat-of-your-pants" era to to-
days instrument landing" was
not accomplished overnight.
When weather or darkness
closed in. the pilots of the World
War I era and the early 1920's
frequently landed in farmers
fields. They needed more infor-
nation than their senses could
give them if they were to stay
IN the air after darkness or when
/ the ground was obscured by
clouds. They had to know If
they were flying upside down or
about to fly into the ground.
Little by little. the engineers
turned out airspeed indicators,

altimeters, bank-and-turn indi-
Gators, and a device which
showed the rate of climb or de-
scent of the airplane.

Spencer Voices Hope
OF Easing Crowding
Al Receiving Home

Commissioner Samuel Spencer
last night promised to take a
careful look at overcrowded con-
ditionS at the District Receiving
Home.
Speaking on the "Commis-
sioners' Report" over Station
WMAL-TV, Mr.. Spencer added
that "if we can do anything to
alleviate the situation, we will"
The Commissioner acknowl-
edged that the Receiving Home
operating at more than twice.
normal capacity represents a
"bad situation that should be
corrected as soon as we can"
He. said that the city has
plans to enlarge the home as
soon as sufficient funds are
available. AS to whether such
funds may be included in the
fiscal year beginning next July
/, Mr.. Spencer hedged. But he
pointed out in connection with
the Receiving Home and addi-
tional law enforcement means
and all other municipal facilities
and services-"We can't have all
we want. We need to strike a
balance"
Court Held Partial Key.
Mr.. Spencer submitted further
that bringing the Juvenile Court
docket up to date would relieve
Receiving Home overcrowding,
since many of the occupants are
held there pending the courts
disposition of their cases. In
response to a reporters question.
the Commissioner said he be-
lieves the court does not need a
second judge so much as 1t re-
quires a larger staff.
Also discussed at length were
the current Senate hearings on
juvenile delinquency in the Dis
trict. Mr.. Spencer said he feels
sure that the recently enlarged
police force has helped reduce
the incidence of law violations
that reached an all-time high
here last December. He en-
phasized, however, that Police
Chief Robert v. Murray feels
that the city needs 2,500-mem-
ber force, about 200 more than
it's present size.
May Crack Down on Drinking .
He said he did not know of his
own knowledge whether alcoholic
beverage laws are being ade-
quately enforced, particularly as
they apply to juveniles. But he
said earlier in the day that If
liquor laws are being violated
as Senate subcommittee wit
nesseS have testif1ed-the city
will take steps to tighten en-
forcement.
In addition to Mr.. Spencer,
Commissioner Renah F. Camalier
and Col. Giles L. Evans, Assistant
Engineer Commissioner, ap-
peared on the broadcast. Re-
presenting local newspapers as

City Heads Refuse
To Permit Drinking
Until 4 O'Clock

The District Commissioners
today refused to extend New
Years drinking hours in local
restaurants and night clubs be.
yond 2 am. January /.
AS they have in each of the
last four years. restaurant and
beverage representatives re.
quested the extension to accom-.
modate New Years Eve cele.
brants until 4 am.

James F. ODonnell, executive
secretary Of the Restaurant Bev-
erage Association: Bourbon
Dawes, executive vice president
Of the Washington Hotel Associ-
alton, and John S. Cockrell, Sec
retary of the Washington Res
taurant Association, made the
plea today.
Mr.. O'Donnell said that it
would be better to let merrymak-
ers do their. celebrating in su-
pervised taverns rather than
turn them out on the street at
2 am. He said he doubted that
many patrons would stay the
limit If closing time were set at
4 am. Moreover. he added. the
restaurant people are planning
to adopt as the theme for this
years celebration, "if there must
be a drink for the road, it should
be coffee"
Police Might Object.
Deputy Police Chief Howard
v. Covell said he feels that 2
o'clock is late enough for people
to do their drinking on New
ears Eve. He agreed that it
would probably be better to have
extra late drinkers do their i'm
bibing in supervised establish
ments rather than to purchase
liquor from street corner boot
leggers.
The deputy chief warned, how
ever. that the extra hours of po-
Icing that would be required
probably would not sit well with
the Metropolitan police force.
Commissioner Samuel Spencer
explained that the latter factor
figured largely in the decision.
Drinking hours last were pro-
longed on January /, 1851, and
1852. Last January / the 2 am.
closing hour prevailed.

George E. Warfie|d, /,
Dean Of Alexandra
Bankers, 10 Retire

The First National Bank of
Alexandria today announced the
retirement on January IL of
George E. Warfleld. who is in
his 60th year at the institution.
Mr.. Warfield, at 70, is the
dean of Alexandria bankers and
probably the oldest active banker
in this area.
For 40 years Mr.. Warf1eld was
executive vice president of the
bank. Two years ago he asked
to be relieved of this task and
since then has been serving as
chairman of the board and trust
officer.
Synonymous With Banking.
For over half-a-century the
name of Mr.. Warf1eld has been
virtually synonymous with the
banking business itself.
"I guess I'll still be available
to my friends if they need me.
but the time has come to have a
few leisure hours to myself" he
declared.
His leisure hours have been
few during the long career at
First National. Mr.. Warfleld
doubts he has been absent more
than six weeks altogether be-
cause of illness since he came to
the bank in 1894 as assistant
teller.
In 1907 Mr.. Warfield became
a cashier and in 1910 was elected
executive vice president.
Succeeds in Undertakings.
His banking wisdom has be-
come a legend in Alexandria. He
is credited with settling a $780,
900 debt in 1907, owed by the
city as a result of the Civil War.
On another occasion, the city
called on him to arbitrate a util-
ity dispute. His work was so
successful that within three
weeks he became president Of
the utility, which at that time
was known as the Alexandria
Lighting Co. III, #
Mr.. Warfield's other activities,
aside from the bank, included
being vice president Of the old
Arlington Junior Hall College,
board chairman of the Belle Ha-
ven Country Club and first presi-
dent Of the Kiwanis Club, owner
ship of several motion picture
houses in Pennsylvania and a di-
rectorship of the General Utility
and Operator Co. of Baltimore,
which he still holds.
Got First Job at 16. =
Mr.. Warfield was 16 when he
took his first job with the
Southern Railway. He studied
nights at the Spencerian Busi-
ness College in Washington and
rose to an important cashiers
position before leaving the rail-
way to join the bank. He also
studied three years at night at
the American Institute of Bank
ing.
Mr.. Warfield and his wife live
at 116 West Maple street. He
figures the retirement will give
him time to do some long
yearned-for travelling.
"Of course, Alexandria always
will be my home base" he said.
My family has always lived
here"

who is retiring after II years as
head of the university to run for
Governor of Maryland.
Judge William P. Cole. jr..
chairman of the Board of
Regents, said DR.. Symons will
serve until the board is able to
find a permanent president.
Expect Delay On Post.
Judge Cole said he hopes the
board will be able to find a per-
manent head soon, but he doubts
whether a person can be found
who can assume the job before
the beginning of the new aca-
demic year next September.
DR.. Symons said, when in
formed of his selection, that he
''is very happy to have the honor
of serving the university again.
The veteran educator, one of
Maryland's best known sons,
served the university for 48 years
before his retirement rs dean
of agriculture in 1850.
He joined the faculty as as
sistant State entomologist in
1902, after receiving his BIS.
degree at College Park. In 1908
he was promoted to State ento-
mologist, a post he held until
1914. In that year, he was named
director of the university'S ex-
tension service, and in 1887, he
became agriculture dean.
Will Leave Bank Job.
In the meantime, he earned
his masters degree in 1904 and
was given an honorary Ph.D.
in 1918.
DR.. Symons said he will take
a leave of absence as public re-
lations director for the Subur-
ban Trust Co., a job he has held
since his retirement.
Born on a Talbot County farm
on the Eastern Shore, DR.. Sy-
mons now lives with his wife,
Mrs. Susie Laroche Symons, at
7410 Columbia avenue, College
Park. He has three married
daughters, all graduates Of the
University of Maryland.
DR.. SymonS appeared to be in
accord with the Regents plan
of naming an acting president
while they continued to search
for a permanent successor.
I'm interested in seeing the
institution get a big man for
president" he said. 81 think
the regents are very wise in sur
veying the field very carefully
before making the final selec-
ton"
Byrd to Write History.
Judge Cole said DR.. Symons
will receive an annual salary
of $4,000 as acting president.
DR.. Byrd, who will remain at
the university as president emer-
titus for one year to write its
history, will continue to receive
his annual salary of $22,500.
Originally DR.. Byrd had asked
to retire January l. Judge Cole
acknowledged that the retire
ment date has been pushed back
a day, so that DR.. Byrd could
end his IT years as president by
attending the Orange Bowl
football game between Maryland
and the University of Oklahoma
on New Years Day.
Soon after his retirement, DR..
Byrd Is expected to make a for
NAL announcement that he will
be candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor
in the June % primary election.
He already has conceded in
formally that he will be in the
race, but has promised the re-

Of the kind after 10 successive
months showing plurality in en-
ployment over the same months in
the prior year. The estimates are
produced jointly by the commission
and the Federal Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
"The Montana manpower supply"
the commission states, "has kept out
of shortage status through the
months of heavy labor demand and

registered for work as the month

Decline in employment from

in the construction industry, which
lost 1920, and in government en-
