MiIitory TroveI
On Ships OK'd
By the Associated Press

The Senate Appropriations
Committee has concurred with
House action that would ear
mark SIS million Of military
funds exclusively for travel on
commercial ships.
In its report on a supple
mental appropriation bill, the
committee urges the Defense
Department to use the money
during the next three months.
The report, to be distributed
to Senators tomorrow, indi-
Gates that Congress had no in
tention last year, in reducing
travel funds generally, to ex-
clude transportation on surface
ships because rates are higher
than on contract air services.
Representatives of steamship
hines. particularly the Matson
Navigation Co., had complained
that the Defense Department
last September abruptly quit
booking passage for dependents
OF military personnel on surface
vessels, and began moving
nearly all Of them by air.

0fD.C. Police
Retires Friday
BY J. THEODORE CROWN
Star Staff Writer


Star Staff Writer
Capt. Michael j. Mahaney,
whose outstanding career has
earned 155 commentators over
q 42-year period. will retire
from the Metropolitan Police
Department on Friday.
Capt. Mahaney went through
two major World War I cam
paigns as an artillery sergeant
(St. Mihiel and Argonne
Forest) without suffering q
scratch.
But he was injured six times
fighting crime in Washington.
He will retire on disability,
just one month short Of the
mandatory retirement age of
81.
Has ''Vast knowledge"
The veteran policeman is
closing his service as head of
the special investigations and
missing persons squads. Police
Chief Robert v. Murray calls
him one Of the finest officers,
who will be missed for his "vast
knowledge"
His immediate superior, Dep
uty Chief George w. Wallrodt,
calls Capt. Mahaney one of the
departments best men in get
ting information on. and keep
ing in touch with, possible sub
versive groups.
Capt. Mahaney battled GRIM
inals from almost every possible
approach. He began as a pa
trolman in 1919, soon did q
tour on bicycle, and in 1928
rode a motorcycle when the
speed limit was IL miles an
hour and inhabited Sixteenth
street virtually ended at Colo
RADIO avenue.
A Tense Moment
It was Just before this, while
walking a beat, that the police
man spotted two men In a
grocery on Mount Pleasant
street. Behind the store, the
policeman later encountered
one of the men.
There was a tense moment
when the lawman and the
bandit were separated by only
a fence. When the bandit re-
fused to climb the fence, the
policeman ripped off a board.
Bandit fired: policeman re-
turned fire: bandit was dead.
The officer was unhurt.
This led to the discovery Of
is safes at the bottom of the
Soldiers Home lake, and one of
Capt. Mahaney's many COM
mendationS.
Capt. Mahaney was not so
lucky in other scrapes, includ-
ing one Il months after he
Joined the force when he was
stabbed and beaten in a riot.
In 1881 he was struck by a
streetcar as he alighted from
an auto while chasing a bandit.
Burglars Have Nerve
In 1884 Capt. Mahaney
learned something about "the
nerve Of a burglar" A Howard
University student walked into
the old eighth precinct station
complaining about the theft of
a 2-carat diamond ring.
Capt. Mahaney questioned
him closely and by some sharp
detective work learned ne was
talking to a man called the
twilight burglar" He was
charged in more than 100
housebreaking cases.
As q lieutenant, the police
man had assignments on nearly
every squad in the Detective
Bureau. He helped organize
the safe squad, was head of
the pawn inspectors office, |
headed the auto squad and
flled in as a desk lieutenant. |
The qiieter hours Of his |
eventful life Capt. Mahaney
has spent with his wife, son
and daughter at his home, 4S6O |
