Policeman Wounded
As Gun Goes Off in Cafe

An off-duty rookie policeman
was wounded by his own pistol
early today. apparently when it
accidentally discharged as he
was adjusting it in a shoulder
holster.
The victim, Pvt. John w.
Lynch, %, of 1928 Sixteenth
street NE, suffered a gunshot
wound in the thigh when the
pistol discharged as he stood in
a restaurant at Sixth street and
Massachusetts, avenue NV.
He walked to his car and
drove to Emergency Hospital for
treatment. Unaware of what
had happened, the restaurant
proprietor walked to a rear booth
and berated two customers he

Sauted others in butter. But there
was no taste except for the
shortening and the crunch of
burnt butter. He ate some raw:
still no flavor. He roasted a
couple. a male and a female.
Here he detected a slight vari-
alton of taste. One was slightly
bitter-but not unpleasant. Un-
fortunately for scientific findings.
he neglected to note which was
the male and which was the fe-
male. They seemed to be nutri-
tiouS, he reported and something
to chew especially when eaten
raw. But for the life of him, he
could not detect what he would
term a locust or cicada favor.
A check with the Department
of Agriculture brought from a
spokesman Of the Bureau of
Entomology a statement that.
while he personally had no desire
to eat cicadas. he saw no reason
why they should be a harmful
addition to human diet. He cited
that many Chinese. q remarkably

Ldtvidn Inventor Wins Haven
Here as House Passes Bill

Congress has agreed to the
permanent residence here of a
Latvian-born chemist and inven-
tor whose association with the
Russians covered one Of the most
violent periods in European
history.
Only President Eisenhower
signature remains to complete
official action in behalf of Eu-
gene Rivoche, 81, who lives at
1929 Columbia road NV, with
his widowed sister, Mrs. Marie
Barsky. The sister is included
in the legislation.
Mrs. Barsky collaborates with
her brother as a conSultant in
food processing and packing.
The two have small laboratory
in their apartment here and
commute between Washington,
New York and Detroit in their
work.
The Senate Judiciary Commit
tee said this work will contrib
ute much to the economy of the
country" On the other hand,
the committee was advised by
former Deputy Attorney General
Peyton Ford in 1851 that the
Justice Department could not
support the bill to allow MI. Ri
voche to remain in the United
States.
Preference UnjuStified.
He added no facts were pre-
sented to justify giving Mr.. Ri
voche preference over other
aliens awaiting admission to this
country.
The Justice Department
spokesman also disclosed a re-
port that MI. Rivoche was used
by" a Russian agency in Paris
after World War II.
Nevertheless, the House COM
pleted action on the bill yester-
day and sent it to the White
House. Mr.. Rivoche's friends
among American manufacturers
insist he is a foe of communism
and in sympathy with the ideals
of the free world.
Mr.. Rivoche, a lieutenant COL
onel in the Russian army from
1914 to 1921, was brought here
by the American Army in 1947 to
conduct experiments in the So
lidiflcation of gasoline. Later
he began to work for Govern
ment contractors in other fields
of production.
Had Worked For Soviet.
Mr.. Ford informed the Sena-
tors that Mr.. Rivoche, in the
early years of the revolution in
Russia, served as chief of Sow

He later was arrested, accused
of profiteering and sentenced
to DEATH" Mr.. Ford wrote. How

and he was banished from Rus
Sia."
Asked about this period in his
life, Mr.. Rivoche said today:
That was long, long ago and
far away. 1 have escaped, hope,
from all that. 1t is my wish and
that of my sister, to live out our
lives in the United States"
In his report to the Senate,
Mr.. Ford said that after the
liberation of Paris in World War
II Mr.. Rivoche was said to have
been active in the black market,
buying and selling patents at
large profits"
The report said further that
the Army brought the inventor
here after he purchased a for
mula from French citizen, or
perhaps invented one, for the
Solidifying of gasoline and pre-
sented it to American military
authorities.
Backed by Businessman.
Among Mr.. Rivoche's hackers
was Russell H. Rogers of the
Ruscott Associates in Detroit,
who wrote the Justice Depart
ment in 1852 that the inventor
lis definitely opposed to COM
muniSm and wholly in sympathy
with American standards, GUS
toms and ideals"
He added that Mr.. Rivoche
had developed g "sensationally
new" food processing technique
which RuScott Associates is
using in the manufacture of
some products.
Another recommendation
quoted in the committee report
was from a Toledo (Ohio)
manufacturer to the effect that
his company has a satisfactory
licensing agreement with Mr..
Rivoche in connection with in
ventionS for measuring and
supplying fuel to internal COM
bustion engines"
The inventor also was credited
with perfecting a process for
making potato chips of salts
factory quality from potatoes
which ordinarily would not be
used for human consumption.

Police Prepare
To obatt|efor
Full Pay Raise
Association Gears Up
To Act Quickly on
Compromise Issue
By Fronk SortweII, Jr.

The Policemen's Association
and it's friends on the Hill" are
ready to leap into battle. If the
Senate tries to cut down on the
proposed pay raise for police
and f1remen.
The association last night
voted to allow its president, Dep
uty Chief Clarence H. Lutz, to
call meeting without the pre-
scribed five days notice, if such
an attempt develops.
From other sources, it was
learned that Congress e n
friends" have asked the police
men if they want to make an all
out fight for the Kearns-Beall
bill. This would eliminate COM
promise and might net the po-
licemen nothing.
Adds $3.5 Million.
The Kearns-B Beall bill would
provide pay raises totaling $3.5
million a year. The Commits
sioners and the Board of Trade
have backed raise not to cost
more than $2.5 million.
Some unidentified House men,
bers. friendly to the police. were
quoted at the meeting as saying
they are willing to fight COM
promise by threatening to hold
up other District legislation if
necessary, The Star learned.
Meanwhile, Chairman Case Of
the Senate District Committee
sent message to the Police
mems Association last nicht, say
ing his committees hearings will
have to be put off until next
month.
Senator Case is going home tn
South Dakota tomorrow TO see
his daughters commencement
and to make several speeches.
He will not be back until June 2.
No Specific Commitment.
In his message. the Senator
said:
Il favor a pay raise that will
meet the increased cost of living,
plus extra hazard pay, and in
an amount that will make the
pay competitive with other Jobs"
He did not commit himself to
either proposal, and he pointed
out that he could not sav
whether the committee will
amend the bill.
Inspector Lutz said after last
nights meeting. which was closed
to the press, that the aSsocia-
ton took no action concerning
any possible compromise, OF
ways of fighting it. He pointed
out that no compromise has been
offered in the Senate. The as
ISOLATION will act later if one 10
offered, if necessary at a spe-
cial meeting.
The members of the House.
and Senate District Committeex
who have backed the Kearns-
Beall bill were formally thanked
by a vote of the association, In
spector Lutz reported.

Twelve companies from the
city's white high schools were
put through their PAGES this
morning and nine more were
scheduled this afternoon. An
other IL companies and three
bands will compete tomorrow
morning, and exhibition drills
and the annual brigade review
for the white corps will be held
tomorrow afternoon.
Eastern's stadium, drenched by
last nights rain, made treacher-
Gus ground for the maneuvers
this morning. Pools of water
and slippery earth sent numer-
Gus cadets skidding, and some
narrowly missed falling fiat.
Sun Drying Field.
The field improved under the
morning sun, however. and the
competition proceeded without
major disruption.
The absentee problem-which
has plagued cadet competitions
for several yearS-hit Mckinley
High School hardest. One of
McKinley's three units, Company
B, was scratched when only 18
of it's members showed up.
Uniforms were another prob
lem. Easterns Company A had
to borrow some belts, caps and
ties from D Company, and then
had to give them back so D
Company itself could take the
field.
Composite Companies Formed.
Theoretically the brigade had
over 1,700 members. but a good
many of these are not taking
part in the competitive drill.
Several schools formed composite
companies as their representa-
ton.
Judging for the competition is
being done by five Army officers.
Exhibition drills tomorrow will
begin at 2 pm. and the presen-
tation of awards and review
will start at 3.
