Vote 10 Appeal
ln!tegration
Seek Delay for
Consultation With
D. c. Committees

About 500 OF the clty'S f1remen,
said to represent some two
thirds of their union, have voted
unanimously to appeal to the
House and Senate District Com
mittees to stop the Commission
ers' order authorizing racial in
tegration of the department.
At a meeting in Odd Fellows
Hall, 419 Seventh street NV,
dayside flremen last night passed
a resolution which also called for
organization of committee to
study ways and means of STOP
ping the measure from altogether
becoming effective. Earlier in
the day. nightside firemen had
also voted unanimously along
these lines. It was decided that
legal counsel will be employed in
seeking a solution amenable to
the f1remen.
They are among the $40 from
the District who belong to Local
So, International Association Of
Fire Fighters, according to Capt.
George E. Tacey., president of
the local. Total membership OF

Lower Morale Seen.
The officer who presided at
the meeting. which was closed
to the press, said at it's conclu-
sion that, Eve have one of the
most efficient fire departments
in the country, and to integrate
would lower morale with result
ing loss of efficiency"
The resolution, read at both
meetings, said Local So goes on
record as opposing the Commits
sioners' order of August 10 call
ing for indignation of white and
Negro firemen.
It urged the Commissioners
and Fire Chief Millard Fl. SUIT
ton to stay the order until the
return to the city of the men,
bers of the House and Senate
District Committees. This was
so that all concerned may
benefit of the wise counsel of
these congressional members,
who under the usual course of
events share the responsibility
of governing the District Of
Columbia.
This means, in effect, accord
ing to Capt. Tracy and 1t.
Alvin e. Davis, the unions legis-
lative representative, that the
opposition is being deferred I'M
til January, 1855, when Congress
returns.
Committee Named.
The Unions Committee on
Segregation has been selected
by the group ito engage local
counsel for the purpose of as
sisting in carrying out their
duties"
The association, the resolu-
ton said, also shall use every
facility at hand, including among
others. newspaper advertising,
for the purpose of setting aside
this order for indignation of
white and Negro fire-f1ghters. -
The committee is composed of
the following: w. H. Stuart, F.
H. Williamson, H. I. Dove, S. G..
Thomas, E. R. Brandt, w. I.
Wagner, P. B. Grisso and H. A.
Lang; also Capt. Tacey, 1t. Davis
and D. j. Devine.
The meeting last night was
told that, if the integration
order is carried out before Con-
gress returns, another meeting
of the local will be held. ESQ.,

Commissioners orders to end

Aggravated Crimes
Here Drop as Nation S
Rate Hits High

The number OF aggravated
crimes in Washington in the year
ended last June 80 dropped to
2O,03O-16 per cent below the
figure for the previous fiscal year
Police Chief Robert v. Murray
declared in his annual report to
the Commissioners yesterday.
1.-THE general success of crime
prevention programs in this city
in the past year is in itself out
standing" Chief Murray de-
clared. THE advances are even
more remarkable when consider
alton is given to the fact that
these accomplishments were at
tanned, for the most part, during
a period when national crime
rates were at an all-time high"
More policemen and higher
salaries were the principal rea-
sons for better enforcement,
Chief Murray said. Greater CO.
operation among all local law
enforcement agencies and
stronger laws provided by new
legislation helped materially.
Reorganization a Factor.
Reorganizations in the force
itself, also were important, the
chief reported. One of these was
the regrouping of precincts into
five inspection districts. instead
of the previous three, with a
police inspector responsible for
each district.
The assignment of police
lieutenants experienced in crime
detection to supervise operation
of plainsclothesmen in each dis
trict also was a factor, Chief
Murray said.
Increased personnel notwith-
standing, the chief added, an
outbreak of armed robberies last
December made extraordinary
measures necessary. This was
the "stake-out" of police in bust
ness places frequently victimized
by gunner. During January, all
policemen were put on overtime
and served a total of 24,399 hours
to trap holdup men on the scene.
The operation was so successful
that this type of crime dropped
from the 1875 cases in December
to 1913 the next month and down
to 80 in February and March.
Reduction of 80 Pct.
The reduction from January,
1858, figures amounted to 30 per
cent. Chief Murray reported, and
the number of all serious crimes
went down "a per cent.
1.-THE signal success of that
program is indicative of the
accomplishments possible with
sufficient manpower, he said.
A highly noteworthy" fact,
the chief noted further, was that
the net stolen property loss in
fiscal 1854 was $911 1924 per
cent under 1853 figures.
Nearly half the cases entered
by police were cleared owing to
the "revitalized efficiency" of
detective services, Chief Murray
said.
Owing to the $1.8 million pay
increases appropriated during
the year. designations from the
force totaled only 40, as opposed
to So in fiscal 1858. At the be-
ginning of the fiscal year, more
over, the force numbered only
2,077 officers of an authorized
strength of 2,270.
The number jumped to 2,147
by last June 80, and the force
actually operated most of the
year at the equivalent of full
authorized strength, since money
was available to pay policemen
| for working on their days off.

CORN ACREAGE
ALLOTMENIS
Sterilization and Conservation
Committee Announces Pre-
measurement Service
SERVICE OPTIONAL

New Castle County corn grow
ers can arrange for official mea-
surement of their 1854 farm corn
acreage allotments prior to plant
ing time, the County Agricultural
Sterilization and Conservation
Committee announced this week.
To get the premeasurement SER
vice, which is being provided on a
cost basis, a corn farmer must file
a written request with the County
/ ASC Office prior to April %, 1854,
says Mr.. John A. Redding, Sr. COM
mittee chairman. The rate to be
charged for each farm for the ser
vice in New Castle County has
been established at S4.00 per farm
plus 1Oc for each acre in the farm
corn allotment, and payment bas-
ed on this rate must be made at
the time the request for measure
ment is filed.
1.-THE premeasurement is purely
optional" says Mr.. Redding, land
is offered as a service to growers
who prefer to have an official mea-
surement to use as a planting
guide"
The chairman explains that all
corn farms in the county will be
visited as soon as possible after
the corn "Comes up" to determine
compliance with the acreage al
lotment program. When compliance
is checked, the farm will be con-
sidered to be within the farm acre
age allotment if the corn is plant
ed within the premeasured area.
The chairman emphasized that
! the service will be worthwhile only
to those farmers who are interest
ed in price support on their 1854
corn crop and who can arrange for
suitable storage of the crop during
the loan period.
