Detective Donohue Is Made Captain,
Will Command Homicide Squad

Detective 1t. George R. Dona-
hue, a 20-year veteran of the
Metropolitan Police Depart
ment, will be promoted to cap
tain and take command of the
homicide squad on Sept. 2.
Detective Chief Edgar E. Scott
said 1t. Donahue will succeed
Capt. Edward A. DAILY, who has
commanded the 20-man squad
for a little more than two
months. Capt. DAILY will be
shifted to command the new
two-man pawn squad now
headed by retiring Capt. Jacob
Wolf.
Department officials indi-
Gated that 1t. Donahue was
slated to head the homicide
squad because of his long ex-
perience with the unit. Capt.
Daly's position on the depart
ment'S Civil Service list entitled
him to the appointment first,
however.
Mr.. Donahue has worked on
more than 200 homicide cases
during his 10 years on the
homicide squad. He has been
commended at least SIS times
for his work.
Earlier this year, he appre-
hended three youths suspected
of the street murder of Miksa
Merson. a 65-year -old musician.
He also was a member of the
special squad of policemen who
worked on the Carroll V. Jack
son family murder case in 1859.

Lee Hits 6. o. P.
Plank for Election
By Districts

Blair Lee III, a Montgomery
Democratic leader, thinks that
Republicans in his county are
about 20 years behind the
times.
Mr.. Lee, who has been chair
man of the county's delegation
to the General Assembly for
eight years, took aim at the Re
publicans' platform plank call
ing for election of the County
Council by districts.
Mr.. Lee said this method was
debated and repected during
the fight for charter govern
ment a score of years ago and
if adopted now could lead to
malapportionment worse than
that of the General Assembly. "
The statement was Mr.. Lees
first re-entry into the local po-
litical scene since the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee
refused him or his supporters
any of the four new House of
Delegates seats given the coun-
ty by reapportionment. Since
then Mr.. Lee, an unsuccessful
candidate for the United States
Senate nomination, has con-
fined his politicking to working
for State and national level
candidates.

D. G. Checks
Credit Buyers
On Relief

The District Welfare Depart
ment today will begin a check
of about l40 credit buyers who
gave welfare payments as their
sole source of income.
The number carried by a
Montgomery County loan COM
pany, and their names, were
obtained yesterday by welfare
officials.
Donald D. Brewer. deputy di-
rector of the department, said
the names are being checked
against the active relief rolls.
Social workers will interview
those on the rolls between now
and Friday to see if September
relief checks should be issued
to them, he said.
The investigation is being
confined at this time to &C
counts at the Montgomery
County firm. Disclosures last
week of accounts there raised
the question of whether these
relief recipients who pleaded
poverty have some unreported
source of income that makes
payments possible.
The time payment credit
contracts were sold by stores
to the loan company. Credit
transactions permitted relief
recipients to take home tele-
vision sets and household fur
niShingS up to $500. The rec
ordS of the firm showed that
some had monthly payments as
high as $40. Most, however.
paid off loans of $50 or $40
in S. monthly payments.
The question of outside. un-
reported income is related to
the heavy percentage of welfare
cheaters uncovered by a recent
special investigation of relief
rolls.

CRACKDOWN!
Tots Lost
Too Often,
Fair Says

(AP) "A trick worked at the
Maryland State Fair in past
years has provided some par
ents with free baby-sitting.
This year, officials are clamp
ing down.
Here's the way it worked be-
fore:
Parents bring their young
sters to the fair and let them
run loose while they attend the
races. The children are told
that when they get tired they
should report to the Admins
tration Building and tell Mrs.
RoSaland D. Bait they are lost.
Mrs. Bait, secretary to Cen
eral Manager M. He'll, then gets
on the loudspeaker and keeps
paging until the parents finally
leave the grandstand to claim
their offspring.
Mrs. Bait has a good memory
for faces. For the last five
years, she says, the same
children have been getting
lost" again and again. She's
determined it's not going to
continue this year.
A child will be allowed to be
"lost" twice. When parents
come, they will be politely rep
rimanded and told that the
fair is not operating a free
baby sitting service. Then
they'll be told to pick up their
lost child" at a police sta
ton.
Fair officials are glad to help
those really in trouble. One of
her most interesting cases in

talk but old enough to cry. Mrs,

and let the youngster cry

Probe Follows
Complaints of
Unfuirness
BY JOHN NJ. McKELWAY
Star Staff Writer


Investigators for the House
Government Operations Com
mittee have been looking into
complaints against District
building inspectors. it was re-
vealed today.
The study, undertaken for
the House District Committee
in an unusual move. was said
to stem from reports of unfair
ness and discrimination praC-
ticed by city inspectors.
Representative Davis. Demo-
crat of Georgia. said 1t was de-
cided to let the Government
Operations Committee handle
the investigation because Of its
larger staff. Representative
Dawson. Democrat of Illinois,
is chairman of the committee
and also a member of the Dis
trict Committee.
Mr.. Davis said he understood
a report of the investigation
has been completed by the in
vestlgators and will be turned
over to his District Committee
subcommittee.
Probe Is Reported
The Investigation was re-
ported today as the Davis sub
committee was examining leg
islation which would have en-
powered the District Commits
SionerS to step in and remove
dangerous or unsafe buildings.
Because Of reports of "exces-
sive activity by building inSpec-
tors" the subcommittee de-
terred action on the bill. passed
by the Senate last year.
The subcommittee, turning to
other matters, ordered a re-
draft of bill amending local
divorce laws.
Members of the subcommit-
tee raised several technical
questions over the language Of
the bill, and caused Mr.. Davis
TO comment that there had
been a marked lack of atten-
ton" by those who favor the
proposal.
He said the bill will be re-
ferred for further study and
reWording.
Contract Bill Okayed
In other action, the sub
committee approved a bill
which will enable the District
Commissioners to delegate the
function of approving contracts
not exceeding $4,000. Last
year. the Senate passed a SINH
lar bill which would have set
limit of 100000 on contracts
which could be handled by
someone other than the Com
miSSionerS.
Also reported out by the sub
committee was a Senate-passed
bill which would prohibit the
use by collecting agencies or
private detective agencies Of
any name or insignia which
tends to give the impression
the agency is a part of the
District government.

WHILE WAITING for tn

WHILE WAITING for the
cream to boil, we walked
across the hall to the pastry
room. There were cakes,
French pastry and pies. The
glazed French pastry were
marveled over and the cakes
and pies got a long glance.
Soon Mr.. Harris got the idea
and asked If we'd like a
sample.
Munching on a straw
berry tart, we walked back
to the 20 per cent cream. 1t
was boiling. The steam was
shut off, the egg mixture
added and stirred. Then
everything was deposited in
the top of a long cylinder ice
cream freezer, a most dis
appointing looking machine.
1t was cleaning stainless
steel and so mechanical it
could have been an auto
matte washer. It seems
wrong to make ice cream in
ANYTHING that modern.
I'VE have to wait until it
coolS before we can freeze
it," said Mr.. Harris. A slim,
handsome man with a white
chefs cap, he is 81 and looks
a lot less than that. A reason
might be he doesn't sample
his products.
Shopping around the room,
we opened a freezer door and
a crisp fog poured out. AS in
a misty mirage the stock Of
Is gallons of ice cream was
sitting in S degree tempera-
ture. Strawberry, chocolate,
vanilla. Enough for 500
scoops.
Its low because of the
weekend. We like to keep 200
gallons on hand" said Mr..
Harris.
