I feel quite sure that we will be able to get the bill adopted, but, at the same time, there are many ways by which measures may become side- tracked. Anything you can do, therefore, to further its passage will be � appreciated. For example, you might care to contact Senator Stinson and Members of the Committee direct, stating the importance of the measure from the standpoint of your city. "In the December issue of ,destern-City, you will note an article listing the bills on our legislative program. This is continued in the January number.

"The Commandant is informed that legal difficulties may be en- countered in continuing this practice in view of the fact that the authority of the Shore -iatrol Officer in arresting civilians in Davy uniform is doubtful and the possibility arises of a civil suit for false arrest. "To clear this situation the passage of a city ordinance has been suggested so that it would become a violation of a city ordinance for any man to illegally wear the uniform of the United States Army, Navy,, Marine Corps,of Cbast-Guard,patterbing!�-theeordinL%mLSe somewhat along the lines of the present Federal statute (10 U.S.Code 1393) which makes it a federal offense punishable by a w3300 fine or one year imprisonment, or both, to wear a uniform when not authorized. "The Commandant would appreciate very much your fair consideration of this matter, and we are enclosing copy of city ordinance recently adopted in Seattle with the hope that a similar ordinance may be adopted in your city to supplement the present federal law on this subject.
