Star stan Writer

The National Capital Plan
ming Commission officially has
appointed william E. Finley,
34-year-old city planner, to
become new commission direc-
tor on April l, replacing John
Nolen, jr.
Mr.. Nolen, So, was given until
March Is to decide whether
to take a new assignment as
associate director" at a slight
reduction in pay. or whether to
retire.
These decisions were reached
by the commissions executive
committee late yesterday, and
announced by Chairman Har-
land Bartholomew at a press
conference which followed.
Mr.. Nolen, a commission en-
ploye for % years-many Of
them as director-said he was
considering the new job.
1t was felt by observers that if
conditions of the new job we're
satisfactory to Mr.. Nolen he
probably would remain with the
commission. and If not. that he
would seek retirement.
Mr.. Finley, now a lecturer in
city planning at the University
Of Pennsylvania, has held a
number of planning posts on
the West Coast. but none as
planning director of a large
metropolitan city.
Mr.. Bartholomew said he was
not certain whether Mr.. Finley
had lived for any period in
Washington. but that Mr.. Fin
ley had "the highest recon-
edge and his services"
NOlen'S Experience Cited
In an official statement, the
executive committee said the
commission had unanimously
voted to hire a new director
Gin the interest Of a more ef-
fective administration of the
work of this commission, and
also in the interest of a much
needed improvement of public
relations.
The statement continued:
Because of Mr.. Nolen'S
many years of devoted service
to this work, the commission is

District Asks
$4,000 for
Extra Patrols
Senote Group
On Appropriations
Hears McLuuqhlin

The District Commissioners
have taken their bid for
1926 to pay police overtime
in their war against street
crime before the full Senate
Appropriations Committee.
Commissioner Robert E. Nc
Laughlin told the committee
yesterday that the fund is ur-
gently needed to combat an up
swing in street violence since
last summer.
The funds will be used to pay
police privates for a sixth day
of work on a straight time rate.
They are used as a mobile
striking force to patrol the
streets at the times and places
where crime has been on the
rise.
Aiming for ALI Men
Commissioner Mclaughlin ex-
planned that the plan is to
keep AIT instead of 1903 police
men on night duty if Congress
authorizes enough money to
pay the overtime.
Committee Chairman Hay
den, Democrat of Arizona, said
his unit was considering tack
ing the local request onto the
Presidents second supplemental
money bill for the current fiscal
year. This catch-all emergency
budget passed the House be-
fore city heads could send their
police plea to the Capitol.
Already ia men are work
ling extra shifts under special
duty orders effective last week
end. Mr.. Mclaughlin explained
that part of the new request
would be used to continue this
extra contingent of foot patrol
men through the last quarter of
the fiscal year, from which
funds have been shifted to pay
the ia volunteers now pa
trolling District streets.
Seek Concentrated Force
With the $4,000 police
could concentrate on crime-in-
tested areas at the same time
they maintained adequate pa
trolls throughout the city, ac-
cording to Mr.. Mclaughlin.
Senator Russell, Democrat of
Georgia. queried the Commits
Sioner on recruiting difficulties
He wanted to know why this
money would pay policemen for
extra duty rather than new
recruits hired to do the same
job.
Mr.. Mclaughlin explained
that despite the steady recruit
ment campaigns, the metro
politan police force authorized
strength Of 2,508 men never has
been reached.
Blames Low Pay
The ranks generally rur
around 1900 officers. Mr.. Nc
Laughlin blamed low salaries
and said that pay raises woulo
be proposed by the Commits
sioners for police as soon as
Congress indicates the level Of
new classified Government en-
ployes' salary scales.

panied to the late afternoc.

the Virginia capital with a
hearty Southern breakfast,
ried apples, sailed roe her
ring with scrambled eggs

with honey. Oh, yes-and
coffee, three cups.
Then he managed to get
over to the capitol in time

He found the Senate mark

Hired Tow Trucks

Busy Streets

Use Of private tow trucks to
haul autos Of trafiic violators
from Washington streets is I'M
der study by members OF the
Commissioners TRAFFIC Advisory
Board.
Board members today dis
closed a committee is expected
to discuss use of private tows
at a meeting Tuesday in the
District Building.
Robert Kneipp. assistant
corporation counsel and mem
Der Of the Laws and Regula-
tons Subcommittee studying
the tow truck proposition. said
the emphasis will be on use Of
private lows to haul away cars
illegally parked on District
streets during rush hours
BIOckage Emphasized
I'VE have not been talking
about hauling away cars tagged
for overtime parking during the
hours when parking is permit
ted. but those parked cars
which block traffic or create
traffic hazards during rush
hours" Mr.. Kneipp said,
He cited the case Of upper
Connecticut avenue. where an
illegally parked car cuts down
the flow of rush-hour traf1ic a.
much as IS per cent.
Use Of private lows has been
suggested to give the city bet
ter service than it now receives
from the four trucks operated
by the Police Department.
Agnew FavOrs Plan
Deputy Chief John j. Agnew
said he has six tow trucks but
that shortage of personnel per-
lmits operation of only four. He
viewed the use of private tows
favorably.
Sure we can use them he
said. They would be a big
help in times of emergency,
such as when autos have to be
moved for snow removal"
Mr.. Kneipp said a 1853 cor
poration counsel's ruling gave
the green light to the use of
private tow trucks but observed
that under present law there
is no provision for charging q
towing fee under such circum-
stances.
He said it has been suggested
that private tow operators
could be paid from a special
appropriation and that part Of
the fines collected could be
used to maintain this service.
Thus. in roundabout way,
the private tow truck operator
would be Self-suStaining.
Suggests Truckers Insurance
Mr.. Kneipp conceded that
financing Of the operation was
the most difficult problem in
the proposal. He said another
would be the financial respon-
sibility Of the tow truck oper-
atorS in event of damage TO an
auto under tow. He said the
District could require the tow
trucks to carry insurance
against such accidents.
The use of private tow trucks
also is being urged TO reduce
congestion of impounded autos

AFTER THE REVOLUTION,

AFTER The REVOLUTION,
George Washington sent a
present of several hams to
Lafayette in France with a
note that there was nothing
Virginia ladies took more
pride in than the flavor of
the hams smoked under their
direction.
i've heard in Washing
ton," the Rambler told the
Lieutenant Governor, that
the big Chicago packers have
bought out the Smithfield
ham industry and that the
hams are not what they used
to be, because they use West
ern pork"
This big-city canard did
not particularly perturb the
country calm of the Smith
field lawyer.
1.-THE first part of that is
true only to a small degree"
he said.
Some executives of Switt's
purchased Joyner'S, and later
Swift'S took it over. But it
Is one of our smaller pro-
ducers. Smithfield Packing
Co. employs about $50,
Gwaltney's about 600. They
are both locally owned.
Joyner's employs only about
IS. And we have locally
owned small commercial
smokehouseS like Pruden'S.
Here in Richmond there
are two fairly large producers
of Virginia hams, Todd's,
which is locally owned, and

Pearl

Pearl is a tall, broad

an who operates q Star ele-

hard time by joshing her.
On the way up the other
day she brought her car to
an abrupt stop at the eighth
floor and said in a manner
that left her annoyers no
doubt as to her meaning:
"The trouble with this
business is not the ups and
dtwns-it's the JERKS"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-02-28

but THERE is no doubt
about it, the hams are not
what they used to be. The
pork used to be by-product
of peanut farming. The
farmers would raise a few
razorback hogs, which were
pretty close to wild pigs. In
the winter they would roam
the woods eating acornS, and,
after the peanuts were har-
vested, they would be turned
loose in the peanut fields.
at would do your heart
good to see an old razor
back SOW working a field.
She would go right down
the row, routing out the
peanuts left in the hills. 1t
was a salvage operation.
Nov pork is not a by
product. The total product
of the Smithfield packing
houses is about $35 million,
and almost SIS million Of this
is Smithfield hams. The
farmers raise the Hampshire
hog, and the soybean is an
important element Of their
feed. We can't use hard
pork-that is Western corn
fed pork. The Smithfield
smoking process would make
too hard a ham. Our pork
comes from Virginia, North
Carolina and Georgia. We
make a very high Favored
