City Heads Ask

To Fight Crime

Mods in Approval;
Action Calls Heard

The District Commissioners
today asked funds for 100 more
policemen to combat rising
crime on the city's streets.
drawing a favorable reaction
from the Senate Appropria-
tons Committee.
After hearing Senator Bible,
Democrat of Nevada. and
Deputy Police Chief Howard
v. Covell justify the immediate
need, Chairman Hayden of the
committee declared, II think a
pretty good showing was made
for more police"
The Commissioners decided
to ask for the 100-man addition
now and put the remainder of
q proposed 500-man increase
into the next budget. Calls for
immediate action to combat the
outbreak of serious crime,
meanwhile. were echoing on
both sides of the Capitol.
The proposed increase in the
force would amount to $406, 900
for the remaining 10 months of
this fiscal year. The proposed
50O-man addition in the next
fiscal year would amount to $2.5
million.
Judgeship Action Asked
Coupled in Senate state
ments on and of the floor were
demands for more police and
for House action at this session
on the Senate-paSsed bill for
two more judges for the Dis
trict's Juvenile Court.
The emphasis is being put on
the judgeship bill because some
of the juveniles now adding to
the crime wave are at large
for lack of enough judges to
hear cases and keep them in
custody.
Before the Senate Appropria-
tons Committee, Senator Bible,
a committee member, told his
colleagues that the steady in
crease in crime had prompted
him to propose that some pro-
vision be made for additional
policemen.
Deputy Chief Covell told the
committee that crime had in
creased 1872 per cent between
February and July.
At first, he said, Police Chief
Robert v. Murray had thought
that the upward trend might
halt after a few months but
now, THE pattern indicates
a possible long-term upward
trend in crime rates in this
city"
Affected Areas Spreading
These crimes, Deputy Chief
Covell continued. used to be
localized in specific downtown
areas but are now being COM
mitted in parts of the city pre-
viously unaffected.
This decentralization" Dep
uty Chief Covell explained: "re-
quires more uniformed patrol
men to cover the wider areas
involved. Citizens who could
once walk in certain residential
areas without any apprehen-
sion now fear for their safety
when they venture out after
nightfall even within sight OF
their homes"
Deputy Chief Covell said that
because of the outward move
ment of crime the 100 addi-
tional men would be used on
footbeats in the outlying pre-
cincts.
In answer to a question from
Senator Bible about recruiting
of 100 men Immediately, Deputy
Chief Covell said police could
recruit at the rate of 80 a
month and provide the equiva-
lent of the larger force by pay
ing veteran policemen to work
a sixth day. He said the 10C
men would all be in uniform
by January l.

Peiping Admits
Output Goals
Must BeCut
Backyard SHELTERS
Among Big PIuns
Thut Didn't JeIl

TOKYO. Aug 26 (AP). -
China's Communist rulers ad-
mitted today that their pro-
duction targets for 1859 are too
high and must be reduced.
The Chinese Community
Party's Central Committee said
the targets for grain and cot
ton were based on 1858 produc-
ton figures which were hugely
in error. Western economists
had suspected that all along.
Peiping also announced
abandonment Of its much
trumpeted program of steel
production in backyard home
furnaces. The Reds claimed the
do-it-yourselfers produced 3
million tons, but the output is
generally understood to have
been of very poor quality.
Revised Goals Listed
These reviSions in production
goals were announced:
Grain, about ATS million tons
instead of 525 million tons;
cotton, about rs million tons
instead Of as million; steel, IL
million tons instead Of Is mil
lion; coal, 1886 million tons in
stead of $50 million.
The Central Committee made
its revisions at q secret meet
ing in Lushan, in Kiangsi
Province, August 2-l6. A COM
munique summing up the ses-
sion was broadcast today by
the New China news agency.
The communique said last
years harvest had been a
bumper one. But grain pro-
duction was only $50 million
tons instead of the 375 million
claimed previously, and cotton
production was 90 million tons
instead of the 3,350,000 tons
announced earlier.
owing to lack Of experience
in assessing and calculating
the output Of such an unpre-
cedented bumper harvest. the
agricultural statistical organs
in most cases made an over
assessment" the committee ex-
planned.
Admission Is A First"
In addition. it said, "the
labor force allocated to bring
in the harvest was inadequate,
with the result that reaping,
threshing and storing were all
done in a somewhat hurried
manner"
This is the first time Red
China has admitted mistakes
Of such magnitude.
Peping said it would nc
longer sponsor the backyard
steel program because of a Ger
tain degree of shortage of labor
power" in the countryside.
ut is suggested that the pro-
duction of steel by local, simple
methods be determined in fu-
lture by the local authorities in
accordance with local condi-
tons and for local use; it will
no longer be included in the
state plan," the communique
said.
The Central Committee pre-.
coded its admissions of failure
with a claim that the average
yields of summer crops had al
registered an increase and thu
total output of wheat and early
rice exceeded last years excep.
tional bumper crops"
It added that the volume o.
retail sales of commodities IL
the first half of the year wa;
23 per cent over that of thu
same period last year. But i
said an increase in purchasing
power had resulted in a tigh
supply of a small number O.
commodities.

means that when punishment
does come it will not be an in
direct sort of thing, or done
in a roundabout way" When
God repays a person for his
sins it is done in an open, un-
concealed manner to the indi-
viduaPs face and not behind
his back. Thou shalt there
fore keep the commandments,
and the statues, and the judg-
ments, which | command thee
this day, to do them"
One was the love and kindness
with which the Lord had dealt
with them, and the fact that
they had upon them a great
moral responsibility of being
Gods representatives as a
chosen nation among the ma
tiosn of the earth. The second
incentive could very well have
been based upon a sense of
fear-fear for the consequent
ceS of Wrong-doingS.
IMPIETY FORBIDDREN:
"And thou say in thine
heart, My power and the
might of mine hand hath got
ten me this wealth" So
strong was this consciousness
of Gods goodness to be that
in times of future prosperity
the people were TO remember
that it was God and not their
own power which had brought
them prosperity and security.
But thou shalt remember the
Lord thy God: for it is he that
giveth thee power to get
wealth, that he may establish
his covenant which he sware
unto thy fathers, as it is this
day" AS long as the chill
dren of Israel would remem-
Der that it was through the
power of God that they were
able to get wealth and live
prosperously, they could avoid
the pitfall of becoming rebelli-
Gus against the rule of God or
Indifferent toward his good
ness and mercy. "And it shall
be, if thou do at all forget the
Lord thy God, and walk after
other gods, and serve them,
and worship them, | testify
against you this day that We
shall surely perish" God
called them to be a chosen peo-
pie, gave them a special mis-
sion, and set before them vari-
Gus commandments, statutes,
and judgments which they
were to follow if they were to
live and be his people. 'There-
fore thou shalt love the Lord
thy God, and keep his charge,
and his statutes, and his judg-
ments, and his commandments,
always" For their own good
the people of Israel were adj
vised and admonished to obey
the voice of the Lord that all
might be well with them.
PRACTICAL POINTS ON
The LESSON:
Israel was Gods chosen ma
ton whom He employed as a
sword for the destruction of
the seven nations of Canaan.
This was an object lesson to
the nation and designed to
teach her the wickedness of
idolatry. Israel was not NOR
ally superior to these nations,
but was to remember that as
a nation she owed everything
to Gods love. God has rea-
sons for all that He does and
this was so in His choosing of
Israel. He did not choose Is
rael because of her numerical
strength, for this nation was
the fewest of all people. but
the Lord increased this nation
into multitude. Neither did
God choose Israel because of
her moral worth. In herself,
that Is apart from grace she
was no better than any other
people.

NEVADA SENATOR
FIGHTS PLAN TO
DROP RENO ROAD

Senator Cannon, Demo-
crat of Nevada, notified
District Commissioner Rob-
ert E. Mclaughlin today
he opposes the idea Of
changing Reno road NV.
to Washington avenue.
The Senator pointed out:
Reno was a city long be-
fore Washington was a
State"
He said the road was
named by a former Reno
resident, the late Senator
Francis G. Newlands, who
represented Nevada in the
House and Senate from
1893 to 1914. He became a
prominent builder here and
helped develop the North
west section. NewlandS
street is named after him.
Senator Cannon said
Reno road residents should
be asked as to their wishes
before any change of name
is made.
The change was suggest
ed by the District surveyor
last week. He also proposed
changing Linnean avenue
and Broad Branch road to
California avenue.

THE FOUNDERS NEPHEW

THE FOUNDERS NEPHEW
and heir, Franklin Cleveland
Hall Ia Democratic name),
was fond of the track. When
they were running at Bowie
and Laurel, their owners were
likely to stop in Halls for
dinner. Frank was a bachelor
until he married Julie Pinti,
daughter of an Italian steel
worker, whom he met at
Pimlico. That was in 1889.
He was in his SOS; she was
in her 20s. When he died in
1850, he left her the restau-
rant and she has been the
boss since. Like any young
widow with a prosperous tav-
ern, she has been courted.
But she intends to go the
new venture alone, not even
with a business partner.
The restaurant today has
a conglomerate clientele. 1t
still has the politicians. "Mr.
Sam" Rayburn and Lyndon
johnson are regulars. 1t has
the people from the races
when the horses are running
at the Maryland tracks. 1t
has the mariners who berth
their boats in Washington
channel along Maine avenue.
1t has a group of men fond
Of hunting and fishing who
gather there almost every
evening for good fellowship,
Tom HulfiSh, Johnny Simp-
son, Bob Raleigh and Buck
Bowie.
And it has people from the
hunt country, Roland Daw-
son, a noted horSeman; Du-
laney Randolph, NTH of the
Piedmont Hunt, and occa-
sionally Liz Whitney a wom-
an born in circumstances far
different from Julie, who has
taken quite a shine to her
