District Police Pay Bill
Approved by Committee

Without debate, the House Dis
trict Committee today approved a
bill providing maximum pay in
crease of $500 a year for District
firemen and members of the Metro
politan, Park and White House Po-
lice forces who have a rank of cap
tain or less.
1t also favorably reported a meas
ure designed to end the so-called
baby broker" practice in Washing
ton by setting up a new plan govern
ing the placement Of children in fos-
ter homes
Action of the committee advanced
both bills to the House calendar.
The police and fire pay increase
legislation was approved despite op-
position of the Commissioners, who
reported to the committee that their
efforts now are to increase the size
Of the police force. Moreover, they
declared an increase in pay for po-
lice and firemen would discriminate
against 1900 other municipal en-
ployes.
Data also was given the committee
that the higher pay scale would add
about 500, 900 a year to the District
budget and the municipal treasury
is in no condition at this time to
stand 1t.
Commissioner Young has bluntly
said the District could not afford"
to give police and firemen an in
crease In pay.
The so-called "baby broker" bill
will require licensing of all child
placement agencies and prohibit
such agencies from charging or re-
ceiying fees for placing children in
foster homes.
