attention to this effect Of en-

imperative job Of reducing the
pollution Of their life-giving

The program provides grants
totaling $250.0O0 or one-third
Of the cost Of the anti-pollution

The amendment would raise
the grant to $500. 1000. It would
also allow separate political

Police Unit Is Undone
With Mr.. Moses Gone

The commanding officer of
the Woman'S Bureau went
scooting down the hall in front
of her Office with a dust mop
today.
It was the only time in SO
years that anything like that
had ever happened.
The reason that Capt. Kath-
rynne Boyd had to turn briefly
from her official duties to house
cleaning is because "Mr. Moses"
was not on the job-for the
first time since 1922.
Moses johnson, 70. became
janitor of the Woman's Bureau
four years after its founding
and has stayed with it ever
since.
When the bureau moved to
its new quarters at 1910 North
Capitol street last fall, Mr..
Moses, as his devoted friends
call him, moved right along
too.
He has always been most
devoted and absolutely relia-
ble," a lieutenant said today.
II know we are going to miss
him very much. It's a
strange thing to say about a
janitor, but we all feel sort of
emotional about his leaving.
Mr.. Moses. according to his
friends at the bureau, had a
cheerful word for everyone, al
though he never spoke unless he
was addressed.

time to grab the inside knob
as the holdup man seized the
other.
The tug of war ensued. Police
conjectured Mr.. Nolan with two
hands was an odds-on favorite
over the man who had to hold
his gun.
Finally, Mr.. Nolan kicked
over a chair and attracted the
attention Of the night elevator
operator, Clarence L. Huger, Sc,
of 1902 Montello avenue NE.
Seeing the bandit strainng at
the doorknob and not seeing
the pistol, Mr.. Huger shouted
authoritatively: Get out of
here!'
For reasons best known to
himself, the holdup man de-
cided to flee.
No money changed hands,
police said.
