Years Ago"
Irving Lash, who writes 1t,
spends hours reading the
microfilm rolls Of the Civil
War issues on the Recordak
screen and produces a lively
account, often of events left
out of most histories.
Don't neglect the $50 Years
Ago" chronicle. Eighteen
sixty-two was a year of great
events, Second Bull Run
(M assaS), Antietam
Isl arpsburg) and the
Emancipation Proclamation.
But 1912, for a year in
which we were not involved
in war, was a truly Annus
Mirabilis. Its events are
still influencing the present.
And 1912 is still fresh in
the memories of many. If
you don't remember, ask
Dad, he probably knows.
Taft was President expect
ing a second term. But
Theodore Roosevelt was sulk-
ing at Oyster Bay and in
February he assured the gov
errors of several state GALL
Republican, that he would
accept the nomination. I'VE
stand at Armaggedon and
we battle for the Lord" was
his way of putting it.
Even a child of IL (the
writer) in a Democratic
household was aware of the
excitement. The Democratic
cause had been hopeless
since '96 and free silver. Now
the Republicans were getting
into a fight that might be
fatal.

He praised Delegate Blair Lee
III OF Montgomery County for
sponsoring a tax-relief bill in
the General Assembly.

He said the unified group
would pass the hat to meet ex-
penses, just as the Mutual
shareholders group did.
After all, we don't have any

activity. the court-appointed re-
ceiVer of the Freestate Savings
& Loan Association of Hillcrest

an insurance firm to make good
the loses suffered by the firm
470 shareholders.
The receiver, George T. Bur-
roughs, said he had been told
by officials of Security Finan-
cial Insurance Corp. of Balti-
more that the insurance firm
was not liable for the losses of
Freestate shareholders because
the Free state management
failed to pay a premium last
October.

of about 10 members represent
ing all six of the associations,
will call a mass meeting with

Mr.. Meyer, chairman Of the
committee, said that the group
would try to get shareholders
ito work together in retrieving
our lost savings"
Mr.. Meyer was the leader of
a group of shareholders who
successfully petitioned a Fed
eral court to switch the Mutual
Security Savings & Loan Asso-
citation from State receivership
into Federal bankruptcy. He
said today however, that it was
not the committees purpose to
try to get any other associa-
ton under Federal jurisdiction.

to determine what is best for
them to do. All we want is to
get everybody to work together"
In announcing the commit
tees formation, Mr.. Meyer said
he believes "the state of Mary
land is morally responsible for
the difficulties of all these as
sociations."
A short, beSpeckled man, Mr..
Meyer said the committee did
not want to disclose its entire
plan of action now. He said,
however, the committee felt
Marylanders should "have some
Naturalization in this situa-
ton because of the laXity in
policing savings and loan
firms"
He also said the committee
wanted the State to provide
some tax relief to people who
had lost part of their savings.

WATCHDOG Squad
Set Up by Police
Layton Is Named
To Head Probers
For Illegal Acts

The Districts top police Off
Gals today we're mapping plans
for a new internal affairs
whose members will be
assigned to fer
out crime and corrup-
ton in the Police Department.
Police Chief Robert v. Muir
ray announced formation of
the squad shortly after the
latest in a series of alleged
police improprieties was ex-
posed with the arrest yesterday
of a 24-year-old police private
on HOUSEKEEPING charges.
This is not going to be a
secret 'gestapo' squad" Chief
said. "All members of
the squad will be known to
police and to the public.
They will not be spies"
The police chief took steps
to create the investigating
squad after comforting with
District Commissioner Walter
N. Tobriner, who termed the
recent series of police miscon-
duct cases "irregularities-un-
covered by the police depart
ment itself"
Chief Murray said the exact
organization and size of the
investigating unit have not yet
been determined. 1t will, how
ever, have as many as six men,
berS and will be headed by
Deputy Chief John B. Layton.
Methods Outlined
Procedures and methods to
be employed by the squad were
outlined by Quinn Tamm, act
ing director of the Interna-
tional Association of Chiefs of
Police, whom Chief Murray
consulted. The association has
recommended steps followed in
the organization of special in
ternal affairs squads in the
police departments of Chicago,
Denver, Boston and other
cities.
A squad of police, including
two men with canine corps
dogs, early yesterday sur
rounded the locked Highland
Theater at 1888 Pennsylvania
avenue Sc. after a 14th pre-
cinct policemen spotted two
men entering the darkened
movie house at 3 am.
When they moved into the
theater, policemen found Police
Pvt. Raymond L. Taft, "a, hid
ing in a storage room behind
the screen. Nearby, police found
an assortment of burglars
tools.
Policeman Charged
Taft was suspended from the
force and charged with house.
breaking. A second man, Robert
Cole, 81, a locksmith, with
whom Pvt. Taft shared a room
at 1912 Wheeler road Sc, was
also apprehended inside the
theater and charged with
housebreaking. Both men we're
held, in $4,000 bond each, for a
preliminary hearing March 6.
Capt. Francis Davis, COM
manding officer of the 18th
precinct, said Taft had made a
statement linking himself and
Cole to a safe-cracking case
last November in a restaurant
near the Southeast theater. The
police captain said evidence in
the restaurant robbery will be
presented to a grand jury.
Earlier this month, a police
man resigned from the force
after being accused of accept
ing $50 in protection" money
from a 22-year-old prostitute.
Two other policemen this year
were charged with taking money
from a bootlegger.
Five others were ordered to
face trial board action on
charges that they accepted
from a Northwest
Washington drugstore at less
than cost.

IN APRIL the Titanic went
down on her maiden voyage.
She had been considered an
unsuitable ship divided into
watertight compartments.
But the iceberg ripped a hole
in her side.
We all marveled at heroism
of millionaires such as John
Jacob Aston and Isador
Straus who stood aside and
waited for death in obedi-
ance to Women and chill
dren first"
The conventions came in
June - first the Republicans
one in Chicago. There was
no radio or TV, just news
papers with bulletin boards
in front of their downtown
offices.
But everyone at the family
dinner table knew what was
going to happen. Father
kept them informed. The
tremendously noisy ovation
given the nomination of
Roosevelt by the Progressives
would be to no avail. The
Old Guards steam roller was
going to nominate Taft. It
looked as though the Repub-
lican party was going to
split.
And split it did when the
Progressives bolted the con-
vention-walked out in in
dignation.
The Democratic conven-
ton came later in the same
month in Baltimore. 1t looked
as though George Harvey,
the editor of Harper's Week.
ly, who had been calling for
the nomination of Woodrow
Wilson, the governor of New
Jersey, for the past two
years, would be the Warwick
of the drama.
Most people have, forgotten
the strength of the opposi-
ton, the conservative pros"
lined up behind Champ
Clark, Speaker of the House.
And they have forgotten
Clark's campaign song.
