T 90 Many Blue Uniforms
Give Police Black Eve
Too many building guards, bus

Too many building guards, bus
drivers and chain-Store watch
men are being confused with
Metropolitan policemen.
It's become such a problem
that the District Policemen's
Association has asked the Com
misSioners to require that the
former change the design. or at
least the color. of their uni
forms in Difference to the latter.
One association spokesman
complained that bona fide po-
lice all too often get a black
eye because of the mixup over
uniforms:
"A citizen will see a man in
blue uniform and badge drunk
in a tavern. He thinks it's one
of our men. He calls us. Then
we find out it's not one of our
boys at all but a building guard
or a bus driver"
Some of the specially uni
formed individuals even wear
gray shirts like the Metropolitan
police. the spokesman added.
The association submitted IS
other suggestions to the Com
missioners. All would benefit the
force and most, in the long run,
would save the city money. &C
cording to the association presi-
dent. 1t Francis H. Dunn.
Among the recommendations:
The present requirement that
police live within 12-mile
radius of the Capitol should be
extended to a 20 or Is mile
limit.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-02-13

Court witness fees should be
increased from the IS cents per
day set by law in 1902 to some
thing more in line with present
costs This would encourage
reluctant witnesses and discour-
age the practice of court con-
tinuances.
Policemen should be compen-
stated for off-duty time they have
spent serving during officially
declared emergencies and for
off-duty appearance in court.
The definition of "line-of-
duty" should be clarified for pur-
poses of protecting injured po-
llcemen.
Sick leave should be on a
cumulative basis-possibly Is
days per year up to a total
accumulation of 80 days.
Annual physical examinations
should be given. possibly begin
ming at the age of 35. instead
OF the present SIS years.
Competitive examinations
should be held for promotion
OF the plainclothesmen, in line
with the present system for
uniformed men.
additional compensation
should be allowed for plain
clothesmen after serving that
capacity for 80 days.
Police pay raises should be tied
in with salary increases granted
classified employees elsewhere in
the District government.

Counsel for Youths
Protests Sentences
By Another Judge

A defense attorney objected
yesterday when his client came
up for sentence for holdup-
robbery before another judge in
stead of the one before whom the
defendant had pleaded guilty.
The objection was made by
Attorney T. Emmett Mckenzie
when his client, Lloyd j. Smith.
18. colored. of the first block of
I street NV. appeared before
Chief Judge Bolitha J. Laws of
the U. S. District Court for the
District of Columbia.
Smith and another 18-year-
old youth, William J. Gass. col
ored. of the 400 block of Second
street NV. pleaded guilty last
month before Judge Walter M.
Bastian to taking part in rob-
bling a Capital Transit Co. bus
driver at Bladensburg road and
Central ave NE. The robbery
Melted cash and property valued
at $167. according to the indict-
ment.
Request by Bastian.
Judge Bastian, it was stated at
the courts assignment Office. had
asked that the two youths be
sent to another judge for sem
fencing because he had other
court duties scheduled for
yesterday.
Judge Laws had the probation
officers report on the two youths
before him.
Before imposing sentence.
Judge Laws suggested to At
torney Mckenzie he could take
an appeal if he wanted to con-
test the courts action. Judge
Laws then sentenced the two
youths to serve from 3 to 8
years each for taking part in the
robbery. He ordered those SEN
fences to run consecutively to
sentences of 3 to 10 years given
each youth last month by Judge
Alexander Holtzoff for taking
part in a $40 holdup-robbery of
a variety shop. The combined
sentences give the two youths
from 6 to 19 years each to
serve
Two others, who took part
with Smith and Gass in the
two robberieS. were sentenced
last month by Judge Holtzoff
to serve from 6 to Is years each.
Smith and Gass had entered
their guilty pleas to the bus
driver robbery, after their earlier
appearance before Judge Holt
zoff for sentence for the variety
store robbery.
Slayer Sentenced.
In another case yesterday,
Judge Burnita Shelton Matthews
sentenced a man to serve. from
IA years to life for second degree
murder in the fatal Stabbing last
June of his estranged wife, whom
he had tried to kill once before.
The man given the time is
John H. Jewell. 40. colored. of
the 140O block of D street NE,
who was convicted by jury.
His wife was Mrs. Helen M.
Jewell, %, colored, of the HOO
block of Sixteenth street NE.
The defendant had been given
a conditional release from prison
the month before the stabbing,
after serving about 4 years and
months of a 2-to-6 year sem
tence for assaulting Mrs. Jewell
with intent to kill, Court records
showed.
