Bullock Challenges
Trial Board, , Citing
City Officials on Il

Suspended Police Inspector
Albert I. Bullock today chal-
lenged the all-civilian trial
board recently appointed to hear
misconduct harges placed
against him by the department.
In a letter written to the Com
missloners by Attorney Charles
E. Ford, the propriety of select
ing three city government Off
cials to hear the case was used
as the chief objection.
The board is comprised of Rob-
ert F. Cogswell. rent control ad-
ministrator: 1t. Col. Harry F.
Hansen, Assistant Engineer
Commissioner, and Donald Glenn
mer. director of corrections.
The city heads refrained from
commenting on the protest at
this time, and forwarded the no.
tification to the corporation
counsel's Office for study.
Trial Board action is slated for
June 9 on specifications stemming
from Inspector Bullock's refusal
to explain to authorities $4,000
income which he received in ad-
dition to his police pay in the
years 1916 through 1948.

Marshal batters Down
Door Of Apartment
And Evicts Family
By the Associoied Press

NEW YORK, May 20.-A city
marshal used a sledge hammer
today to break into a three-room
apartment and evict colored
family and so persons who had
locked themselves in to prevent
it.
More than a score of police
watched City Marshal William
Goldstone and six aides batter
down the door of the apart
ment in one of the city's larg-
est private housing develop
mentS.
The door forced, the marshal
cut a safety chain and police
escorted the so persons-colored
and white men and women-out
of the building. The last per-
son out was Mrs. Michael De-
catur, who with her husband
and two children occupied the
apartment.
The door smashing came sew
eral hours after six women aban-
doned a lock-and-chain sitdown
protest against the same evic-
ton in the downtown Offices of
the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Co., which operates the Park
chester housing development in
the Bronx.
Police took no part in the door
breaking, but they led the oc-
cupants out after the city mar
shal gained entrance. Two white
men who resisted were dragged
out and taken to a police sta
ton to be charged with dis
orderly conduct.
Others were half pulled, half
led from the apartment.
The marshal acted on a court
order obtained by the company.
The Decaturs had obtained the
apartment on a Sub-leaSe, and
the company said it would not
renew the lease because it does
not allow subleaSing.

HOLLYWOOD
| NOTES
By BOB THOMAS

HOLLYWOOD ~ Marjorie
Rambeau, vivacious star of so
years on the stage and screen,
today told how she found faith
after a highway accident that
nearly cost her life.
A chance meeting with Western
stars Roy Rogers and Dale Evans
changed the course OF her life,
said the actress, who will be GA
next month.
The story begins in 1916, when
the successful character actress
was driving home from work
with her Sister. A truck smashed
into their car, then drove away.
The sister was killed. Miss Ram
beau's face was SlaShed and her
leg was crushed. The driver Of
the truck was never identified.
Plastic surgery restored her
famous face. Many months later,
she managed to return to acting
with the aid of a cane. But she
had no hip socket, and her leg
began getting shorter. A year and
a half ago, she began a series of
three operations to arrest this
condition. During one seven-hour
session, she was on the operating
table. so long that the surgeon
tainted.
81 was feeling pretty low after
the operations" she related. ''then
one night / went to a birthday
party at Jack Oakie's house. Din
ner was late, and I ate too fast.
I tainted dead away. Il scared
everyone, and they took me to a
bedroom and sent for my doctor.
"After the doctor left, Roy and
Dale came in. / had just met them
casually, and we talked for q
while. They asked if I would like
to attend a meeting of the Holly.
wood Christian Group. hesitated.
Although / had always been as
sured before the footlights, I had
always been shy about meeting
strangers. But ! said ! would
come"
The Hollywood Christian Group
is composed of film workers like
the Rogers. Jane Russell, Colleen
Townsend, Connie Haines and
Porter Hall. They meet each Mon
day night to discuss religion and
listen to ministers, rabbis and
other religious leaders. Miss Ram
beau said she has never missed
meeting ince she first started
attending.
81 never had time for much
r eligious training" she said.
