Meetlns of AMOclatlon H«ld at Amb¬ ler—Will' Saak Laglslation on Radio Subjaot—'Elmer Mangaa De- livara  Addraaa
Despite the adverse opinion, of the eoUcltor of the County CommlBsion- ers, Russell Green, and tho opinion of District Attorney Ste^va^t Nase, the Police Chlfefs' Association Will continue to carry on the fight for a county police radio system. This fact WC.8 asserted at a meeting of the association Thursday afternoon in the col.ncIl chambor of Ambler. The president, Soimuei Wolfendln, presided.
Discussion on the question resulted from the reading by the secretary, H. Charle* 'VVlslet, of a letter from District Altorney Nase. In the letter he stated that the district attorney has no p<}wer to ask the county to appropriate money for tho establish¬ ment oifl a radio broadoa^tlnff sys¬ tem which he Is informed •will cost about $8,000. He de«lred information as to the numbei* oi boroughs Slnd townships that vrlA equiiJ Ithelr police cars with radio receiving seta, also whether ther© has been demand by officials of boroU«h8 and town- chips. Further Is there a demand mado for Intftallatlon ot the systeth. District Attorney Nase advised that each police department should take up the question with the offi¬ cials of their borough or township and ascertain if they are In favor of equipping the police cars with radios, and also get some data on the number of police calls received tor a period of three or four months. Chief George Bausewlne, ot Nor¬ ristown, spoke of the need for a radio system, and pointed out that It Is the bfrsit modern method of fighting crime. He said the police are to be commended for their ef¬ forts. Superintendent Charles Smith, of Lov/er Merlon s<^ld the radio sys¬ tem has more than proved Its worth. Through the radio, he said, "we have given residents greater protec¬ tion, andi commissioners think so well of the system that I have received int'tructlons to atscertaln the cost and upkeep of equipping each police car with a tfeceiving set and al.so a .transmitter.
Remarks were albo hiade by Lleu- tejiant Thomas KehotS,- -of Norrls- to\Vh; ,'ergeant Samuel Flnemore, of Cheltenham, and Chief of Police B. B. Scheetz,  of Pottsto^vti.
It was agreed to have a legislative committee appointed by Preslderit Wollenden to strive to have a bill passed at Harrlsiburg to give the district attorneys power to iristall radio .lystems for police work. Sup¬ erintendent Smith stated that the executive committee ot the Po'Uce Chief!>' Association of th- state will meet at the Lower Merlon police headquarters, Ardmore, .MondayJ at¬ ternoon, Feb. 4. Treasurer Fred R. Fluck, gave a report of tho flnancial standing of   the  association.
Chief Fluck was host on this oc¬ casion, and he Introduced Elmer Menges, assistant district attorney, as the guest speaker. Mr. Menges gave an ln,terestin<i: review of sev¬ eral cases in which the police came In contact more frequently than others, and fllustrated by using two local cases, one ot which was a dis¬ orderly conduct case, and the other a motor violation. Mr. Menges con¬ cluded his talk by stating that he hopes the time will soon come when the motor code will be revised so that all regularly constituted police¬ men v/l!l h.ave the same power as the state hlghwajl patrol In, arresting on view, and also that police will not be Inconvenienced In bringing defendants of the code to the nearest justice  of  the  peace.
Mr. Menges gave some timely ad¬ vice    an|d   answered   many   questions

Asks Retention of $67,00 Item for Washington Schools—Hits at Waate- fulnass, and Calls for Economy of the   Recovery   Program
In a stirring speech in the House of Representatives at Washington, Con¬ gressman J. William Ditter denounced wastefulness and reckless prodigality, and expressed the hope for the main¬ tenance of the national credit by ft   balanced   btidget.
Representative Ditter Insisted "that our first duty Is to give our ohlljren the greatest possible advantages for physical well-being, Intellectual dis¬ cipline and spiritual stabllty." Me opposed an economy of ruin and pleaded for an economy of restoration and recovery, insisting that "we must come to a realization of relative values."
The speech was prompted after dis¬ cussion of the district appropriations bill, whioh Includes an Item for the maintenance of the school system of the capital city. Mr. Ditter's colleagues on the committee, all 'of whom are Democrats, decided to elminate $S7,- 000 from the school appropriation Item, which represented the estimated cost for a program of character edu¬ cation. 'The character education pro¬ gram was Introduced la.st year, and grew out of the investigation of crime and racketeering conducted by a com¬ mittee of the Senate.
At the time of its Introduction, Mr. 	
Ditter was  led  to believe,  and  stated! g^j^g^jg     Rgy_   f^^
he thought the same imipresslon pre-       Field Son     of   a
vailed upon all members of the sub¬ committee, that the program could not be co.m,pleted in one year hut that to prove effective it would require a gradual expansion covering a three- yoar period. The action of the Denw- cratlc members In di.scontlnulng this Item, to Congressman Ditter's mind, is unwarranted, and results In the in¬ evitable conclusion that the amount appropriated last year was pure waste. Mr. Ditter stated he \vas convinced that the program has great potential¬ ities and that it will serve a very useful purpose in character building'. In taking the floor Representative, Ditter spoke at length on the subject making a plea for the worthwhileness of a character education program In the schools, and received many very favorable corrmients both from Demo¬ crats and Bepublioans.
