Brown for Glassford

Having heard that some angry farmers were planning a march on Washington this winter, trim, efficient, cheerful Superintendent Pelham D. Glassford of the Washington police, who handled the B. E. F. peacefully until the Army butted in, went three weeks ago to the District of Columbia Commissioners, asked for ''undisputed authority to evacuate any army of indigents after their Constitutional rights of petition have been exercised.'' Last week he was looking for a job.

Technically General Glassford, War-time brigadier, submitted his resignation because the commissioners would not permit him to replace the chief of his detective bureau. Actually his removal had been expected ever since he disagreed with Attorney General Mitchell's statement that a large percentage of criminals infested the B. E. F. Appointed to fill his place was Inspector Ernest W. Brown. 38 years on Washington's police force. His retiring superior felicitated him, hoped he would serve out the five years left before his retirement. General Glassford had served eleven months.

Informed that his resignation had been accepted, General Glassford remarked: "I guess I'll go out and play some golf." He also welcomed the prospect of having more time for his other hobby: painting murals.
