That was a policeman's eu-

Mrs. Brereton took the news

she learned that her husband,
a 31-year-old metropolitan po-
lice officer, had been killed try
ing to thwart a liquor store
holdup at sol Florida ave-

There was a moment of si-
lence as the news sank in.
Then Mrs. Brereton broke into
loud, anguished sobs which
echoed down the corridors of
the emergency room. She could
not express her grief in words.
For five painful minutes she
sobbed without pause. Then.
composing herself, she left the
hospital for home, escorted by
Prince Georges County and
Metropolitan police officers.
At home, 673S Conley road
in West Hyattsville, Md. she

Committee.
Mr.. Baldwin, who with Rep
resentative Udall, Democrat of
Arizona, served as spokesman
for the group, said that for
the next two weeks siren
uous and intensive" effort will
be made to obtain the remain
ing signatures needed for a

The petition, which would
pry the pending adminiStra-
ton supported territorial"
home rule bill from the COM
mittee and get it onto the
House floor, was launched at
the last session of Congress.
Fewer than 100 signatures of
a required minimum of 2l9
were collected, however.
Canvass Planned
The aim Of the new drive,
Mr.. Baldwin said, will be to
canvass thoroughly the House
membership to get the remain
ing needed signatures from Re-
publicans and Democrats alike.
He indicated that he and his
colleagues will be satisfied if
in the next two weeks they car
come within striking distance"
Of the 2l9-signature goal. He
said that another strategy ses-
sion will be held at the end OF
that time to make another ap-
praisal Of the situation.

tional four or five members

States. Apparently, however,
they will make no concentrated
effort to get Southern members
to sign since the civil rights
aspects of District home rule
are a hand grenade" so far
as Southern legislators and
their constituents are con-
cerned.
The territorial bill pending
before the District committee
provides for a presidentially
appointed Governor, an elected

and a nonvoting delegate to

THESE OBSERVATIONS
are due to a visit the Ram
bier made yesterday to the
library for the blind in the
annex of the Library of
Congress.
About $4,000 volumes in
braille are on the. shelves.
They have braiIie Enclosing
on the covers so that the
blind persons employed there
can act as runners-that is,
get the volume requested
from the shelves.
There were five blind
women and a man who is
legally blind" but has travel
vision"-he can get to work
but he can't read.
There were also four or
five sighted" person S.
Sighted" is the term the
blind use for those who have
vision.
Much of the work of the
blind persons is checking the
work of sighted volunteers
who wish to transcribe books
for the blind.
1t is all done by correspond
ence and the volunteers live
all over the country. When
they first apply for the work,
they are sent a braille stylus
and a book of instructions.
Their work must meet a
high standard of accuracy
before they are certified to
transcribe books. 1t won't do
to have the blind puzzled by
typographical errors.
Volunteers usually have to
submit samples of their work
several times before they
pass. 1t is the blind women in
the library who read the
samples, mark the errors and
decide whether the work has
reached acceptability.
Work with the stylus is
very painstaking. BY this
time the volunteer is usually
so interested that he pur-
chases a braille typewriter
made by the Perkins School
for the Blind. 1t costs 500.
