DC. Prisoners
Low
Eosed Arrest Policy
On Drunks Is Cited

The Districts prisoner popu-
lation has reached q two-year
low. Corrections Director Dom
aid Clemmer disclosed today.
The substantial drop is in
misdemeanor offenders. chiefly
drunks. Mr.. Clemmer said. The
corrections chief and police
ofhcials said this may be q re-
fiection of q recently adopted
city policy easing up on drunk
arrests.
There also has been q slight
drop in the number Of feIons,
Mr.. Clemmer said.
The current population in
the Districts correctional insti-
tutions is about 4,300. This
compares with q 1857 peak Of
some 1880. The current figure
is the lowest since q 4.2el total
In November, 1855. Mr.. Glenn
mer said.
Prisons Still Crowded
He called the development
"a significant trend" At the
same time, he stressed that the
downturn has not been SUM-
cient to reduce materially the
city's prison crowding. which
was the subject earlier this
year Of a voluminous report by
q committee headed by Com
missioner David B. Karrick.
All correctional institutions
are currently over populated,
down:
Lorton Reformatory. 1880
inmates compared to a theo-
retical capacity Of 1850.
Occoquan Workhouse, 1850
inmates compared to a theo-
retical capacity Of 1,15O.
Woman's Reformatory. 100
inmates, or 80 above capacity,
District Jail. about 1,l00 in
mates. 100 above the technical
capacity.
$40 Million Prison Proposed
There have been recent pro-
posals TO build a S1O-million
prison to relieve the crowding.
particularly at Lorton. The
Karrick Committee urge d
changes In the city's parole,
probation, and arrest pro-
cedures In an effort to avert
need for a new prison.
The Commissioners two
weeks ago ordered the Police
Department to increase efforts
to send drunks home instead
Of locking them UP. Deputy
Chief Howard v. Covell said
today this order and the Kar-
rick Committee recommended :
tons probably are having an
effect. Drunk arrests have de-
clined somewhat this year. he
said. But he added that q full
report for the year Is not ready
yet.
Mr.. Clemmer pointed out
that there are sizable seasonal
fluctuations in the number Of
prisoners.

Washington's park develop

In all his park work he has
adhered to the original Len
FAINT concept of developing the

out the recommendations Of
planning bodies such as the
famed Mcmillan Commission
and the win Of Congress, Mr..
Gartside has had q direct hand
in developing some of WASH

spots.
These have included the
White House grounds. the most
recent restoration Of which he
completed in six weeks. In
addition he supervised con-

The Rambler wishes q
Happy New Year to all his
readers who have managed
to stay with him so far and
to assure them that he will
do his best to stay with them
through 1858.
This Is the party season.
and The Rambler has been
making the rounds. He has
two more parties to 60. and
he is almost as optimistic
about attending them as
continuing the coll
umn through the coming
year.
These parties fall into sew
eral categories, and the first
is the ONCE party. When he
refers to office parties. the
Rambler does not mean
newspaper parties.
1t seems that, In this
period Of full employment
and rapid turnover. we of
the Fourth Estate are
attending an ONCE party
every month. In addition to
the normal rate Of long-term
employees being retired, there
are parties for employees OF
respectable terms of service
who are leaving for other
Jobs.
The frequency Of office par
ties in newspaper work Is
probably q good thing. We
get to know one another In
uninhibited moments.

BY OFFICE PARTIES, The
Rambler means the parties
in Government ofnces. He
has been to many Of them,
but he Is not going to men,
ton any because some rumor
that it is against the law to
serve alcoholic beverages on
Government property always
gets banded about just
before Christmas. 1t Is one
Of those rumors that no one
bothers to authenticate. The
ofi1ce parties 60 on.
These people suddenly ex-
perience q release Of their
emotions about their fellow
workers that have been pent
up through the year. A boss,
dissatisfied with q subordi-
nate, may have one too many
and create bad feeling by
telling him off before the
whole group. A young wom-
an who has been denying all
year her yen for the young
man at a nearby desk, reveals
her emotions more embar-
raSsingly than Juliet on the
moonlit balcony.
The home party Is run by
the wife. It Is an opportunity
to show q table cover Of
drawn work made by her
grandmother and her ster-
ling and plate. There are
also the little cookies and
egg nog:
1t is against the rules for
the husband-host to have
any fun at q home party. He
must always be on the alert,
greeting the arriving guests,
seeing that all are encour-
aged to refill their eggnog
cups, and saying good-by.
At the hotel parties, you
have more room to move
around and a nutritious
drink like egg nog can be
avoided for something more
stimulating. And on the CEN
ter board may be found
such trifles as canapes of
caviar or more substantial
items as lobster aspic and
garnished salmon.
