Volunteer Firemen
In Alexandria Back
Mayor on Budget

A group of Alexandria volun-
teer firemen last night gave their
enthusiastic support to Mayor
Marshall j. Beverley in a fight
against budget proposals which
he calls a threat to the volun-
teer system.
They voted 18 to l in favor of
Mayor Beverley's efforts to de-
feat the proposed employment of
IL additional firemen and to re-
store an $8,4O0 appropriation for
volunteer firemen to the 1954-55
budget. Twenty-six men at
tended the special meeting Of
the volunteers, but all did not
vote.
The budget comes up for a
public hearing before the City
Council May 81. The volunteers
who attended last nights meet
ing agreed to appoint a commit
tee to study the budget to see
how it affects volunteers and
taxpayers.
There are two budget proposals
before the council. One totaling
SIS million provides both the
$8,400 for the volunteers and
funds for IL new paid tiremen.
A $50 million budget omits the
So, 400 sum and makes no provi-
sion for new paid f1remen.
IF they want us, let them
give us what's coming to u.s."
said Henry Scott, vice president
of the volunteers Executive
Committee.
"The chief never even told us
about the $8.400 being dropped" ;"
complained Harry Dugan. chair
man of the volunteers Executive
Committee. Mayor Beverley is
backing us 100 per cent as VOL
unteers. He is very satisfied
with the volunteer group. InSur-
ance records show we're good"
Alexandria has a part paid and
part volunteer system.
"Why are more paid men nee
essary?" asked Charles M. Jones.
ut is Just a continuation of
an attempt started several years
ago to have a fully paid fire de-
partment and saddle the tax
payers with additional taxes" ."

intended to provide policemen
with ready made answers to all
their problems in this field, but
merely to create a guide for

1t also says "every member
of the department. is expected
to thoroughly familiarize him.

The manual points out that
"in the year 1900 the major

New Police Manual Cautions
ImportioIity in Race Problems

mot only are they charged
with securing the community
against riotous outbreaks, but
they are the ultimate guarantors
of our individual liberties.
This thrusts upon the police
authorities the need for an
extraordinary exercise of eau
ton and judgment in order that
their actions will not prove to
be a source of further aggrava-
ton and hostility"
Each policeman is told ''he
must bring under control his
personal sentiments and preju-
dices and subordinate them in a
truly professional spirit He
must refrain from expressing
private notions in discharging
the duties of his Office ..
Training, dedication and un-
derstanding are the cornerstones
of modern police SCIENCE" the
manual says. "The police officer
must become increasingly aware
of the role be plays as a symbol
of society's authority-aware
that only by examining the re-
lation of his personal sentiments
and feelings to his public duties
can he achieve true impartiality
and neutrality.
This is an educational prob
lem in its own right, and it is
equal in Importance to the ac-
quisition of new information as
to the technicalities of crime de-
lection"
Respect a Factor.
The manual declares that
members of minority groups
may have little reason to re-
spect law if it is apparent that
they do not receive equal pro-
lection from the authorities who
are administering it. . Only by
commanding such respect can a
police officer begin to cope sue
cessfully with the various con-
flicts which may arise between

was told by Mrs. Hicks that her
brother had been hurt in an

Shortly afterward. Mrs. Hindle
said. Mrs. Hicks called again and
said she believed her husband

the scene. then called for med

Mrs. Hindle said when she

hand controls so that it could be
operated by Mr.. Hicks. who was

Mrs. Hindle said both she and
her husband had taken sleeping
pills when they retired March q
to combat insomnia caused by
