Bomb Is Found
At Star BuiIdino

A piece of pipe 18 inches long
was found in a doorway of The
Star Building early today, caus-
ing police to close the building
for a short time until bomb ex-
perts made sure the object was
harmless.
The bomb scare started at
500 am. when Fifth Precinct
Police Pvt. Frederick l.. Shipp
saw the pipe in a door off an
alley behind the building at
Second street and Virginia av-
enue Sc.
FBI men, police and soldiers
from Fort Lesley C. McNair ex-
amined the pipe, which had a
strip of copper sticking out of
one end, before deciding it was
not a bomb.
The incident occurred after
an anonymous telephone caller
told the washington Post and
Times-Herald he would con-
tinue setting bombs this week
unless the newspaper printed
the stuff" he sent in about
racial matters.
Last week two pipe bombs
we're exploded in downtown

off in a refuse can at Vermont

No one was injured.

Bill to Boost
Police Goes
To Congress

The District Commissioners
today sent Congress bill which
would beef up the police de-
partment's strength by author
izing use of volunteer police
men.
Commissioner Walter N. To-
briner, board president, pre-
dicted that the use of volunteer
police could prove very valu-
able"
The bill would permit the
Commissioners to organize men
in the police reserves for regu-
lar duty in the District to help
combat crime.
The measure would give the
Commissioners the right to
allow these volunteers to wear
uniforms and make arrests.
The volunteers would receive
no pay, but would be covered
by the compensation for Dis
trict employees if they suffered
injury or death.
Commissioner Tobriner said
that If the legislation is ap-
proved, he hopes to start using
these men on the approximately
10 beats here where two police
men are normally stationed.
He said that each volunteer
would work with a regular
policeman.
The Commissioner said that
under this program anyone who
took the training course now
given to reserve policemen could
volunteer for regular duty one
night a week or on some other
schedule.
Police Capt. Earl Noble told
the Commissioners that ap-
proximately 1900 men have
taken the training program
provided for police reservists.
However, he said, only about
700 men are still active in this
program set up to provide a
standby force in times OF
emergency. At present, these
reServists do not wear uni
forms and have no more right
to make arrests than an .ordi-
nary citizen.
Commissioner Tobriner said
that police Chief Robert v
Murray has approved the idea
of using volunteer police.
Irving Bryan, assistant cor
poration counsel, said that the
police department has esti-
mated initial cost of the volun-
teer police program at $357 900
if 1900 men are used. He added
that the annual cost Of such a
program with 1900 men has
been estimated at $4,000.

This language relates to the
test for criminal insanity -
the so-called Durham rule -
that applies in the District.
Under this rule, in order to
avoid a guilty verdict a de-
fendant may be found not
guilty by reason of insanity If
he can show a jury or a Judge
that he was suffering from a
mental illness which caused
him to commit the crime.
The prosecution in such
cases must show beyond a rea-

if he was. the crime was not
a product of the mental illness.

The
Rambler
Sees How
The Under-HuIfLiye
BY MYRA MACPHERSON

Watching two men who'd
been sitting under water for
IA and "a hours, the Rambler
thought of that foolish Joke
about the befuddled little
man who took up underwater
diving.
He bought the rubber suit,
the SockbootS, the flippers,
the mask, the regulator
(mouth piece, the oxygen
tank, the spear gun, the
Snorkel tube, the weight belt.
the depth gauge-everything
that makes life under water
worth living.
Over the edge of a boat he
jumped one day. Burdened
with equipment, he was soon
down a fathom. Then he
looked up and saw a man a
few feet above-wearing no
thing but swim trunks.
The puzzled diver went
down another fathom. His
friend, with no breathing ap-
paratus, followed. Down,
down, down went the first
man and down, down, down
came the second.
The first man could stand
it no longer. From the pants
of his rubber suit he fished
his waterproofed paper and
the ball point which really
writes under water and
penned an inquiry:
Il am confused. I spent
$500 on this equipment. You
have no equipment at all.
The deeper 1 go, the deeper
you go. Would you please tell
me your secret?"
The Scribbled reply was:
"You fool, can't you see I'm
drowning?"
