RoiIroud Begins
Free Borrowing
OF Umbrellas

NEW YORK, Mar. 81 (AP).-
The Long Island Railroad-the
Nations largest commuter line
-inaugurated a free borrow
and-return umbrella service
for patrons today.
Information booths at the
Jamaica station, where many
commuters change trains on
their way to and from New
York City. will be stocked with
umbrellas. On a rainy day pas
sengerS can borrow the UNI
brellas, returning them the next
dry day.
There will be no receipts to
sign and no deposits to make.
The only requirement will be
that the person taking an UNI
brella has a communication ticket.
The road cautioned, "The
borrow and return umbrella
wouldn't win any ribbons in a
fashion show. They're ones
absent-minded passengers have
left on trains and never re-
claimed"

Hilton Hotels
ReporfsHigher
Revenues, Net

The Hilton Hotels Corp,
which operates the Statler Hill
ton here, reported in its annual
report today that 1858 revenues
went to a new peak; net profit
topped 1857 and recorded $2.11
a share.
President Conrad N. Hilton
informed shareholders that
1858 operations produced $8,-
703, 766 in earnings. This COM
pared to $8,609,064 and $2.05
q share in 1857.
Revenues were at their second
highest level in the company's
history, the report showed.
During 1858, revenues ex-
hibited an encouraging stability
through the worst of the re-
cession, and then responded
readily to improved conditions
later in the year." said Mr.. Hill
ton. Operating profits, when
compared with those for the
like periods of 1857, recovered
sharply in the second half, more
than overcoming the decline
registered in the first half of
the year."

Bank Clearings Remain
Well Behind Year Ago

Washington bank clearings,
representing the exchange of
checks between banks, continue
to trail well behind year ago
when there were more banks
and therefore more checks to
exchange.
March clearings totaled SCOT,
TAI ,282, a decrease of .0094 per
cent from $613,531, 480 in March
last year, reported William
Cradlin, clearing house man
ager, today.
Clearing in three months
this year aggregated $1,733,-
260,558, a drop of 2.8 per cent
from $1,784,013,484 a year
earlier.
Because bank mergers have
reduced the number of capital
banks to 13 from 16 a year
ago, clearings do not accurately
reflect banking activity or gen.
eral business activity. Bank
debts, which represent with
'drawals from demand deposits,
and therefore reflect banking
activity more accurately, are
well above a year ago in Wash
ington.

proved an increase in the next
qarterly dividend to an annual
rate of 4 per cent. starting with
the three months from April /

Future dividends will be paid

nually as in the past, Mr.. En-
merich said.
Liberty became the 18th as

a 4 per cent annual basis.

around 100000 from the pre-
ceding year, Mr.. Noon reported.
Sales of member stores rose to
between $50 million and $50
million, he said.
With 10 regular DIGS
Stores at the years close, plus
SO associate stores, which do
not use the DIGS label, the
group now is considering APP
plications of 10 additional
stores for membership, Mr..
Noon said.
Mr.. Noon is proprietor of

reelected officers include:

president; Reuben Chaser,

Price Situation Better
Referring to a sharp i'm
provement in the wholesale
price situation for DIGS. Mr..
Noon said the organizations
warehouse prices have been
trimmed so low that several
chains are negotiating to buy
D. G. S. lines. THE tide has
turned and many stores now
are clamoring to join DGS,"I
he commented.
Because of the increased
value of member investments
in the big warehouse on CT
street S.W. between Fourth
and Fifth streets, Mr.. Noon
said new members should not
expect to share in assets that
now are worth more than 81
million. I'VE don't want to
engage in a 81 million give
away program, he declared.
Mr.. Noon said a savings plan
under which DIGS serves as de-
pository for member stores, has.
proven a great success since it
was started in July, 1858. More
than $4,000 of dividends have
been paid to savings members,
he said.

POLICE TRAINING
THE DECISION TO send our local police to Bar
bados for training is a good one, and the hope hereis
it will follow through.
FOR THE PAST humble

FOR THE PAS number of years our police adj
ministration has posed somewhat Of a problem. First,
the whole thing started in a hit-and-miSS fashion. Sec
ondly, the program did not receive either the time or
the attention it deserved, and finally, when it did re-
ceive some attention, the basic plans were not sound
enough to afford a base upon which to build.
LIKE ALL responsible positions, in and
out Of government, a certain, amount Of training and
preparation is absolutely necessary. This was totally
lacking here. One can remember the time when a new,
police officer would appear on the streets to the surprise
Of one and all, when only the day before this very man
was engaged in some other pursuit.
THE TROUBLE WITH employment on the spur
of the moment was that those who applied were UNI
doubleday more concerned with making a living than
with a determination Of whether or not they were
suited to the job. With no training, no preparation,
nothing whatever, a man would set out to guard and
protect the public property and the life and limb Of his
fellow citizens. That things did not get out Of hand was
a miracle, if ever there was one.
THERE SHOULD BE q sufficiently large reserve
of personnel under training to make up an adequate
force Of highly efficient police officers. And here is
where. the training in Barbados could become the turn
lar to justify the training program there. Here, too, is
another example Of how the West Indian area can be
drawn closer together for more effective government
and other operations for the good Of ALL
ANY TRAINING DIRECTED at the police force is
good, and this latest effort is a commendable one.
