Grand Jury Report
On Bullock and Beach
Expected in 10 Days
By Sam Eostmon

A special District grand jury
investigating the activities of
two suspended Metropolitan
police inspectors will announce
its findings IN about 10 days,
United States Attorney Charles
M. Irelan said today.
The jury has been looking into
activities of Inspectors Albert I.
Bullock and Beverly c. Beach
since last November. The probe
began after the two men were
called to testify before a Senate
District Crime Committee.
Had Difficulty Explaining.
Although the exact nature of
the grand jury investigation is
not known, both men had diff
Guilty in explaining their per-
sonal finances before the Nicely
committee.
Mr.. 1relan told The Star:
"The jury is coming in a
week from today to conclude
certain matters before them. I
would think we will have an
answer to their investigation of
Inspectors Bullock and Beach
early the following week"
Bullock was first suspended in
October, 1851, after he was IN
dicted by a District grand jury
as a co-conspirator in the
Charles E. Nelson gambling syn
dicate. Nelson, a Ritchie (Md.)
horsebreeder at that time, was
convicted on gambling charges.
Cleared in Nelson Case.
Cleared of the charges in Dis
trict Court, Bullock reported for
duty last February still facing
Investigations by the Senate,
District officials and police.
The inspector again was sus-
pended last spring after he told
the Nicely committee that he
could not account for some $5,-
900 more than his listed salary.
Beach also was suspended
after several appearances before
the same committee. He was
unable to explain approximately
$40, 900 over a period from jan
uary /, 1949 to September 80,
1851.

Owner 10 Tell Court
Why Roosevelt Hotel
Hasn' Been Repaired

Mrs. Marie Kramer. owner of
J the Roosevelt Hotel, 2101 Six
teenth street NV. has been
subpoenaed to appear in Munich
pal Court Monday to show cause
why she should not be fined
for failure to make repairs in
her hotel to conform with Dis
trict regulations.
c. T. Nottingham, Superintend-
ent of licenses, refused to grant
a license because inspection de-
partment officials said she did
not conform with regulations.
She was supposed to appear
last Monday, but because Of ill
ness the case was postponed for
one week.
Health Engineer Complains.
Chief complainant is William
A. Cary, jr., director of the
Bureau Of Health Engineering,
who said Mrs. Kramer failed to
comply with fundamental health
regulations and although warned
several weeks ago has not made
the necessary repairs.
When she was first summoned
to court several months ago for
operating without a license, Clark
King, assistant corporation coun-
sci. fined her $500 and told her
she would no longer be allowed
to accept guests. He did, how
ever, allow her to keep the so
permanent guests now at the
hotel with the proviso that she
could not collect rent from them
and would make the necessary
repairs.
Six Other Applicants.
Six other hotels are operating
without a license. They are:
Bergree Hotel Corp, 1902 New
ton street NV: Carroll Arms Ho-
tel, 301 First street NV; Charles
Hotel, 1888 R street NV; Lafa-
yette Hotel, Sixteenth and I
streets NV; Glenwood Hotel
Corp, 1911 Sixteenth street NV.
and Nishan and Shamigian, 1924
Tenth street NV.
Mr.. Nottingham said all the
hotels had applied for licenses
but District inspection depart
ments had not yet approved
them. He said he believed the
District was at fault because the
inspections departments did not
have enough personnel to ap-
prove them promptly.

Truant Officers
To Visit Homes
Of Payne Pupils
Corning gHopesA Action
Will End ,WoIkout
Now in Fifth Doy
By james 6. Deone

Truant officers will visit the
homes of any Payne Elementary
School pupils who are still on
strike Monday, Supt. Hobart M.
Corning announced today.
DR.. Corning said he hopes the
attendance check will spur pa
rents into sending their children
back to school. He didn't say
what will be done if they don't.
Attendance at the strikebound
school climbed somewhat today.
This morning l66 pupils re-
ported. Only 81 showed up Mon
day. out of a normal enrolment
of 895.
Protest Crowding.
Parents pulled the pupils out
Monday to bolster a demand for
use of nearby white school to
allay Payne crowding. The strike
today topped one which lasted
four days in December, 1851, at
the same Negro school.
Chairman Case of the Senate
District Committee is showing
interest in the walkout. Yester-
day he sent Robert C. Albrook,
committee clerk, to confer with
city officials. The chairman said
he was merely seeking informa-
ton, and he gave no indication
today of any plan to intervene
more directly.
The Senator called the strike
unfortunate"
The entire truant officer force,
numbering 20, will be assigned
to the Monday check.
Such visits are routine when
ever child is out two days in
one week, but the truancy foree
waited for an order from the
superintendent in this case.
Quiet ON Legal Action.
DR.. Corning refused to discuss
the possibility of legal action
against parents of absentees.
Theoretically they are subject
to fines or Imprisonment, but
such action never has been taken
in a school strike, the superin-
tendent said.
DR.. Corning said he doubted
that all the present absences are
traceable to the strike. A week
ago 245 Payne children stayed
home because of illness, he said.
Integration Suggestions.
Meanwhile, the superintendent
said today he hopes many more
civic groups win Submit sugges-
tions on ways Of preparing for
racial integration in the schools.
About rs statements have been
submitted in answer to an invita-
ton by the Board of Education,
and about half Of these are very
helpful, he said.
He defended the school boards
invitation as one of the best edu-
cational steps that could be taken
on the subject. The move re-
Gently was criticized by the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations.

posals in case the Supreme Court
orders the dual school system
ended. A public hearing is to be

Honest. Patrons
Police Plan Ruids
On After-Hours
Places Soon
By ChorIes G. Brooks


The wide-open, illegitimate
after-hours clubs here are q
menace to the honest people
who frequent them," a top-rank-
ing police official warned today,
as the city government con-
tinued its efforts to force the
clubs out Of business.
Inspector Clarence H. Lutz.
chief of the Metropolitan Police
Departments Morals Division,
who is preparing to raid a num-
ber of clubs as fast as the needed
evidence is gathered, called the
illegal clubs rackets that prey
upon small town visitors from all
over the Nation.
At the same time, United
States Attorney Charles M. Ire
Ian Joined in calling upon "de-
cent citizens" to boycott the
clubs as another weapon in the
campaign to clean up the city.
officials have pointed out that
the laws in the District are so
lax there is actually no effective
means of permanently closing
the clubs. These establishments
have been charged with openly
catering to petty racketeers,
blackmailers and panderers.
Curiosity Boosts Patronage.
Inspector Lutz pointed out
that residents of the Washing
ton area, as well as sightseers
often patronize the clubs "just
to find out what is going on"
He said the recent book,
washington Confidential" has
stimulated the curiosity of per-
sons in every State and that the
after-hours club operators are
taking advantage of the COM
parative innocence of visitors.
Inspector Lutz called the
managers of the clubs sharp
shooters" and declared that they
Sift their customers over to find
out which ones "give the ap-
pearance Of being big shots" and
then "clip them for whatever
they can get"
Often out-of-town visitors who
patroniZe the clubs are rolled,
yoked and robbed, Inspector
Lutz complained, but they refuse
to prosecute because they fear
the resulting publicity.
Meanwhile, it was learned,
most of the bottle clubs are still
operating wide open.
To Release Names.
Earlier this week. Assistant
Corporation Counsel Clark F.
King joined in the drive on the
clubs and warned all patrons
that, if they should be found in
after-hours establishments when
police raids are made. they will
be summoned to court. Their
names. he added, will be made
public.
Shortly afterwards, Guy Pear
son, District collector of taxes,
announced his Office had opened
an all-out investigation into
after-hours clubs and their man.
ayers in connection with the
Districts tax laws.
The drive opened Monday,
when United States Attorney
Irelan called a meeting of Dis
trict officials to coordinate the
campaign against the clubs,
which, he declared. are breeding
spots Of crime and a sore picture
in the Nations Capital.
The meeting was followed by
immediate action on the part of
Assistant United States Attorney
Hugh j. MCGEE who filed suits
against the Picadilly Social Club,
1901 Fourteenth street NV, and
the Downtown Club, COG E street
NV. to force them out of busi-
ness.
Charles E. Ford, attorney for
the two clubs, is scheduled to
show cause at 10 am. Monday
why the clubs should not be shut
down.
