More to History Than Time

desirable from both economic and historical
viewpoints-a locally-sponsored, locally
conducted historical tour of Prince Edward

certainly would be welcomed as part of

Mr.. Williams came into the
First Precinct station about 2
am. and told Pvt. Norman Jones

work at Union Station where he
got into traffic argument with
men in New York car.
He described the car as a two
tone, blue and gray 1853 Chev-

which he listed.
In the dispute one of the men
in the car got out, grabbed him
and put him in the back sat. He
was beaten while the car was be-
ing driven through the streets,
he said. He didn't know how far
he was carried, in what direc-
ton or where he was dropped,
Mr.. Williams said. He knew only
that it cost him so cents in a
taxi to get to the First precinct.
He said he noticed q As caliber
revolver in the car but did not
say he was beaten with it.
Police Weapons in Car.
Pvt. Jones issued lookout for
the New York car and it was
spotted a short time later by
police in a Second precinct
wagon. 1t then developed that
three of the men in the car were
District police in civilian clothes.
No As caliber revolver was found
but the three SO caliber revol-
vers of the policemen were in the
car.
Mr.. Williams identified Pvt.
Ferrand as the driver when the
car stopped at Second and F and
as the man who put him in the
car. He identified the others,
but could not say which of them
allegedly beat him.
The three policemen were sus-
pended by 1t. Herbert G. Wana-
maker of the first precinct on
orders of Deputy Chief Cunning

Col. Bernt Balchen, noted
polar authority and adviser to
the Pentagon on Arctic affairs,
last night declared that the
country that controls the Arctic
Ocean might be in a position to
control a good part of the world.
