"No longer is graduation from

changed and with it the re-

School Fare Bill
beforeSenate

A bill which would allow
streetcar and bus fares for Dis
trict school children to be raised
may come UP for Senate action
on Wednesday.
The provision is part of an
omnibus measure to strengthen
the powers of the District Public
Utilities Commission in several
respects.
Until recently the bill had
been stalemated, despite a IA
vorable Senate District Commit
tee report last April, because OF
the objection of Senator Beall,
Republican, of Maryland. SEN
ator Beall had asked the Senate
not to act until he studied fur
ther. the possibility of establish
ing a eity-owned bus system for
the schools.
Last week, however. Senator
Beall withdrew his objection and
the measure faces early Senate
action, perhaps Wednesday.
The House last menth passed
a bill to allow the utilities COM
mission to raise rates on school
fares. It is the same as the pro-
vision in the omnibus Senate
bill.
Since 1881, the school fare has
been limited to 8 cents by Con-
gressional order. The current
legislation would allow the util-
tiles commission to set the rates,
but would limit the fare to one
half the adult fare. or 10 cents.

Police on Capitol Hill
Gaining in Stature

rate of three a week, take pic
lures of honeymooners on the
Capitol steps. and handle his
revolver if necessary. He has to
be a crack police officer and
more besides.
Under the patronage system of
selection, Chief Pearce found
that the majority of his force has
little or no police experience.
Most of them were loyal con-
stituents and intelligent Amer
leans but not necessarily good
police officers.
The solution: Training.
Chief Pearce, with the assist
ance of the small cadre of ex-
perienced officers on the force.
embarked on a training program
designed to make the average
Capitol policeman at least COM
petent to carry gun and wear a
badge.
To teach his men to be able to
use their guns properly end safe
ly, Chief Pearce arranged for
them to have instruction and to
fire regularly at either the Ma
tional Guard Armory or the
Park Police range. The pay-off
came recently when the new
Capitol Police pistol team placed
eighteenth out of 56 teams in a
competitive match.
A traffic school is planned to
teach the Hill police how to cope
with traffic tie-ups.
To prepare his men to meet
the next visit of prophets and
voice-hearers, the deputy chief
hopes to get doctors from St.
Elizabeths to set up a course on
handling the mentally i'll.
In addition. he approved a pro-
posed course in report writing.
The new look of the Capitol
Police can't be expected to work
miracles.
Chief Pearce agrees with police
administration authorities who
say that the Capitol Police can
only be made an outstanding Sc
curity force by adding rs trained
officers to his patronage force.
He would like to see mental and
physical requirements for appli-
cants and a selective procure
ment system. To these he would
like to add job security, retire.
ment benefits, and thorough
training program within the
force.
Until these things come, he
will continue to do the job with
what he's got.
A bill embracing many of the
features of this plan is slated to
be introduced in the House soon,

When the gunsmoke cleared
from the floor of the House
chamber after the Puerto Rican
shooting in March, 1854. the
hubbub and shouting began.
The patronage-appointed Cap
itol Police force came under
congressional fire and the House
went so far as to draft and pass
bill creating a career Capitol
Police force with requirements
and training similar to those of
the Metropolitan Police. The
bill expired quietly in the Senate
Rules Committee of the 83d
Congress.
When it was all over, two i'm
mediate steps were taken to
improve the Capitol Police: The
appointment of Metropolitan
Police Inspector Robert C. Pearce
to head the force with the rank
of deputy chief and of Inspector
jeremiah Flaherty, former as
sistant chief of Metropolitan
Police detectives, as a captain
Problems Plentiful
Chief Pearce and Capt. Flaher-
ty, who brought to their new
jobs the knowledge of more than
80 years each of police work,
were Soon up to their badges in
problems.
Chief Pearce found that he
had 158 men, most of them new
to police work. with which to
patrol six buildings and 100
acres. Visitors to the Capitol in
a single day sometimes total
5000. The White House, a single
building on a relatively small
plot of ground surrounded by an
iron fence, has ITO police plus
the Secret Service to maintain
security. With this comparison
in mind. Chief Pearce decided
he could not possibly do the
job without rs additional police.
The 54-year-old deputy chief
set about doing the only thing
he'd ever known in his long Ca
reer here: Getting the JOB done
with the tools available.
The Rhode Island-born officer
knew from a previous stint on
the Capitol force during World
War II that a Capitol police
man has to be all things to all
men.

and Mrs. Cooper was flung into
the water, still grasping the
sander. Mr.. Cooper jumped to
the raft and grabbed his wife
twice, but each time the current
from the still-sputtering sander
knocked his hands loose.
Finally he was able to grab her
hair as the sander fell to the
bottom. He pulled her aboard
with the help of a neighbor,
George Crosby.
Hospital attendants said elec-
tricity from the sander, intensi-
fed by the water, probably had

Establishment in the District
of a panel of top medical men
who could act as court-appoint-
| ed neutral witnesses was urged
today at the 10th annual Judicial
Conference of the District of Co
llumbia Circuit.
Members Of the United States
Court of Appeals and the U. S
District Court for the District
lof Columbia, plus leading men,
Ibers of the bar. heard the sug-
gestion from a New York judge
and a Baltimore lawyer.
In favor of the court-appoint-
ed expert witness plan were
David W. Peck. presiding justice
Appellate Division of the Su-
preme Court of New York, and
G. C. Anderson, of Baltimore.
Judge Peck said New York
had experienced success in end
ling what he termed the "spec-
tacle of battle between partisan
experts" He said medical wit
nesses hired by the respective
sides in a damage suit were some
times so far apart in their dag
|nosis the jury could hardly be-
|lieve they were talking about
the same man
He said the New York plan,
considered pilot project for the
rest of the Nation, was the re-
suit of cooperation between the
medical and legal professions in
New York City. He said it re-
suited in shorter trials, more
just conclusions and keeping
damage verdicts within bounds.
He said the New York; plan
consisted first of setting UP a
panel of the best medical talent
obtainable. In cases where a
substantial difference of medical
opinion existed a pretrial ses-
sion was called, Judge Peck
added.
If both parties were agreeable,
the court called upon one of the
experts to make a report on the
case. At another pretrial ses-
sion the neutral experts report
would be submitted.
Judge Peck said that almost
invariably the independent ex-
perts' report was accepted by
both litigants.
Those cases which went to
trial, after the litigants still
failed to agree. were measurably
shortened, Judge Peck declared.
An unlookedfor result of the
neutral medical witness system,
Judge Peck said, was the sur
.prising fact that many accident
victims were given improper
medical care after being injured.
He said a "few shocking cases"
were uncovered in which the
neutral expert said he was un-
able to determine whether the
treating physician was "woe-
fully incompetent or absolutely
dishonest"

medicine. also submitted a re-

BY HAROLD B. ROGERS

The District Bar Association
was represented today as
strongly opposing legislation
transferring Jurisdiction in do
nestle relations cases to either
a new family court or a branch
Of Municipal Court.
Stating the associations case
before House District subcom-
mittee, Jean Boardman said the
law group opposed a Senate
passed measure and revised
House bill to set up a domestic
relations branch in Municipal
Court.
He stressed that the bar as
sociation long has been against
such proposed procedures. The
association instead favors the
addition of three rotating judges
to the District of Columbia, he
told the subcommittee headed by
Chairman Harris, Democrat, of
Arkansas.
If Congress. however, should
decided to take divorces and
marital cases from District
Court, Mr.. Boardman said, he
personally would prefer to see
them go to Municipal Court
rather than a separate family
court.
The official report Of the Dis
trict Bar Association will be
presented to the subcommittee
by Earl H. Davis, chairman of
the associations Domestic Re-
lations Committee. He did not
get on the stand at length but
asked to testify at a future
hearing.
Other opposition witnesses
who asked for time to speak
probably will be given time at
a future hearing by the Harris
unit.

provisions to make the Municipal
Court a collecting agency for
alimony, a 60-day so-called
cooling-of period before actual
trial, which had been approved
last Congress by the Senate but
was stricken by the Senate this
year, and the use of commits
sioners similar to the domestic
relations commissioners now
operating in the United States
District Court.
MIR. Boardman took issue with
what he called propaganda" ny
those favoring transfer Of do
mestic relations cases from Dis
trict Court. He replied to some
statements made by Chief Judge
