Lousche Not Sure
Of Senate Election

CHICAGO, Aug. IA (R.-Ohic
Gov. Frank j. Lausche, who
terms his chances for presiden-
tial nomination nil, said today he
wasn't sure of election to the
United States Senate, either.
Ohio's "favorite son" at the
Democratic convention also is
the party nominee for Senate in
the Buckeye States November G
election.
"A lot of people feel that
will be elected" Gov. Lausche
said of the Senate race. I'm
not so sure"
But if I feel that way about
it," he added with a laugh, then
my opponent feels even less
sure"
His opponent is Senator
George N. Bender, Republican
incumbent.
The Governor remarked about
the Senate after learning that
Senator Bender told an outing
yesterday at his home near
Cleveland that Gov. Lausche
couldn't be elected.

loyalty oath the deep-six yester-
day with members breaking out
in applause for the man who
opposed it most dramatically
four years ago-former Gov.
John S. Battle of Virginia. The
three States never did sign the
pledge, but kept their seats.
Mr.. Battle and Senator Hum
phrey of Minnesota, who took
Numerically opposite positions
four years ago, told the rules
committee they now were in
agreement on the substitute rule.
Both served on an advisory rules
committee to the Democratic
National Committee headed by
former National Chairman
Stephen A. Mitchell.
AS Mr.. Battle explained the
new rule, it recognizes the re-
sponsibility of the State parties"
but also preserves the integrity
Of the national party.
I'VE think we can live happily
under this in the future" he
asserted.
Senator Humphrey said the

of approval by the convention,

recognizes the concept that the
national party also is a fedora

tin cans in a gravel pit of

Lawrence was pulling his .22-

and accidentally shot himself
in the right leg, police reported.
Claude came over to give him
hand and while Lawrence was
leading on his shoulder, Claude's
gun went off and shot him In
the left foot.
Both were treated at Alex

today that they were both up
and around.

ment after his brother was
wounded he probably forgot that

In a petition filed with the leg
islator the visitors strongly urged
him to file the discharge paper.
The denial of a vote to Wash
ingtonians. their statement said,
was outrageous from the point
of view of principle, and has had
the practical result Of frustrating
and discouraging efforts by Dis

Idral; Rear Admiral Neil Phillips.

The discharge petition will re-
quire 2l8 signatures. an actual
ma ority of the full membership
of the House, to become effec-
tive. With such backing, the
effect of this move would be to
bring the Home Rule bill now

Under present conditions, the

a criminal homicide every q
hours, a rape every Al hours, a

Traffic Increase
The effects of increased ira
fic here, placing an extra burden
on the police, Mr.. Davis said
was shown by the fact that while
only 210,254 vehicles are regis
tered in the District, double that
number of vehicles enters the
District from the surrounding
Metropolitan area on normal
day.
Traffic accidents increased. he
pointed out. from 1908 in 1916
to 1888 in 1850 to 1907 ir

without counting several groups
Eof those already on the role.
These persons who would not be
included in the total of $500 Off
GERS and members are named in
the bill as surgeons for the police
force, police matrons, those ap-
pointed as special privates and
any retired officer or member
called back into service tempo
rarily.
Mr.. Davis, who has been a
strong friend of the police forces
here, pointed to several reasons
why Washington needs a larger
force.
Decrease Since 1850
Available police personnel,
Mr.. Davis explained. had in
creased 80 per cent from 1910 to
1855, but had actually decreased
q per cent here since 1850.
The 2,5O0-man force recon-
mended by the bill, Mr.. Davis
said, would provide the protec-
ton needed and deserved by. the
Nations Capital"
In Washington, the legislator
said, the s32 men available for
prevention and detection Of
crime during 1855 must be di-
vided into three tours of duty.
At any one time, he explained,
about 311 men are spread "far
too thinly." These include rs
lin scout cars, 20 In patrol wag-
ons, As in cruisers. motorcycle
and harbor patrol, IS on detec-
tive duty, 10 assigned to traffic
duty and 100 assigned to foot
patrol.
THESE men must control
crime in the District, a city
where a serious offense is COM
mitted every % minutes, where
an automobile accident occurs
every 20 minutes, where a call
for police service is received
every A seconds" he said,
Crime Rate Detailed
i BY distributing personnel to
furnish maximum protection. he
said these efforts have been
awarded by an overall reduction

force, he added. "it is impossible
to furnish adequate services for
