District Asks
Rehearing on
BuIIockPension
Betrayal Of Trust
By POLICE Officer
Cited in Petition

Charging that Former Police
Inspector Albert I. Bullock "be-
trayed his trust when on active
duty" the District Government
has asked for a rehearing of the
decision giving Bullock a $500
yearly retirement pension.
The District wants the case
heard by all the judges of the
U. S. Court Of Appeals for the
District of Columbia.
Earlier this month, two of
three appellate court judges
who heard the case held that
the former officer was entitled
to the pension.
Fears Consequences.
In its petition for rehearing,
the District government con-
tended: "The opinion i. 7. con-
stitutes a precedent from which
dire consequences may result
and the morale and efficiency of
the Metropolitan Police Depart
ment will be seriously and
adversely affected :"
The Government further con-
tended: "The majority ruling
would make Bullock the
recipient for life of a large an
nuity without the concommit-
tant responsibility of serving his
benefactor in emergencies be-
cause, obviously, an inspector Of
police who betrayed his trust
when on active duty could never
be called upon to command loyal
policemen in the future"
The petition asserted that the
appellate court erred in inter-
preting the retirement statute
as making payment of the pen
sion mandatory. The petition
cited the dissenting opinion of
Judge Charles Fahy, who had
declared that, under the cir
cumstances, the District Com
missioners had discretionary
power over payment of the pen
sion.
History of Case.
Mr.. Bullock had been sus-
pended after his indictment on
charges of violating gambling
laws in the 1851 Charles F.. Nell
son case. Later, he was acquitted
and restored to duty. He applied
for retirement in February, 1852.

Ambassadors today and handed

Today's note was delivered

The Soviet note came as no sur

Reply to September 10 Note.
The new message was a Rus

the Western powers handed to
the Soviet government on Sep

In that note Britain, France
and the United States told Mr..

If this happens, the Koreans

South Korean officials charged
that payment in greenbacks and
Treasury checks was tanta-

By Robert K. Welsh

President Eisenhower carried
the election campaign into Penn
sylvania today, planning a politi-
cal "shot-in- -the-arm" speech to
State Republican leaders and

Mr.. and Mrs. Eisenhower left

the Pennsylvania monument on
the historic battlefield and speak
briefly to people of Gettysburg.
Major Issue Cited.
The drive into Pennsylvania
came at a time when 1t. Gov.
Lloyd H. Wood, Republican NOM
inee for Governor, and G. o. P.
candidates for the States 80
congressional seats admitted
that unemployment had become
a major issue in the campaign
there. They claim, however,
that they will elect Mr.. Wood
and at least keep the 10 House
seats they now hold. There is
no senatorial election in Penn
sylvania this year.
But leaders and candidates
and Republicans elsewhere ca
gerly welcomed Gen. Eisenhower's
last-minute entry into the po-
litically important State. They
said they were confident he
would bring ample reserves"
of personal popularity. presiden-
tial prestige and pep talks to

out greatly on many other oc-
casions as a hard-working and
fast-moving campaigner in be-

Stew Is Main Dish.
The luncheon at the Gettys-
burg farm had Eisenhower
stew as the main dish. The
President, who recently an
his own recipe for this
type of beef stew, was not sched-
uled to do the cooking. His aides
noted that the guest list was so
big and prominent that the Pres

job if he had to work in the cook
tent. Baked beans and cold cuts
also were on the menu.
