Revising Crime
Reporting Plan
New Communications
Urged; WITHHOLDING
Of Cases Defended
By Miriom Ottenbero

Police Supt. Robert J. Barrett
today called for a complete
overhaul of the Police Depart
ment's crime reporting and
communications systems, but
remained steadfast in his posi-
ton that the department vio-
lated no police regulations in
withholding cases from the DO
lice teletype.
In a 33-page report to Commits
sloner John Russell Young, Mai.
Barrett cited police regulations and
the Interpretation of these regula-
tions by his predecessors in orders
extending over a quarter century to
show police had ample authority"
for withholding crime reports.
Withholding of these reports from
the teletype prompted the Senate
District Committee to recommend a
$25, 900 investigation of the Police
Department. This move was blocked,
however, on the Senate floor pending
the outcome of Maj. BarrettS own
investigation and that of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation.
Would CentraIize Records.
Coupling the review of 6S4 with
held cases with specific recon-
mendations for undermining the de-
partment, Maj. Barrett proposed:
/. That all records in the Police
Department, with certain minor ex-
ceptions, be centralized so there will
be one place where all necessary in
formation on "all matters coming
within the ourview of police activ-
tiles" will be Immediately available.
Such a move, he said, will eliminate
present duplication of work in the
various squads and bureaus.

munications Bureau and Identifica-
ton Bureau be centralized under

vision with telephone operators, tele-
type operators and radio dispatchers
gathered in one spot.
3. That all complaints be cham
nelled through this division so that
persons reporting offenses would re-
port directly to headquarters rather
than be referred to the precinct
where the offense occurred. This
would insure headquarters control
of all complaints, report in con-
nection with every complaint and
speedier police action on trouble
calls.
4. That a master index containing
index cards on all matters coming
to the departments attention be
established to eliminate the present

Union Leaders Meeting
In Showdown Session
With Lone HoIdout
PHIL HANNAH quits labor post
after attacking fund cuts. Page A-4
By james Y. Newton
Stor Sfoff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-John L.
Lewis will block action by the
AFL Executive Council on the
controversial issue growing out
of the National Labor Relations
Board requirement that all
union officers must file non
Communist afhdavits under the
Taft Hartley law, it was learned
definitely here today.
Although Mr.. Lewis has made
no official statement it was learned
that he felt he never could con-
scientiously sign the Communist
document required under ruling
of Robert N. Denham, NLRB gen.
eral counsel.
Mr.. Lewis decision not to sign
the affidavit will force AFL to post
pone action on the question until
its national convention next month
in San Francisco.
Showdown Meeting Today.
The council was meeting today for
a showdown in the matter. Friends
of Mr.. Lewis said that he took the
position that 1t Is absurd and in
sulting to require known anti Com
munists to sign such aff1davits.
1t was believed that all other
members of the council were willing
to file aff1davits with the NLRB.
Mr.. Lewis refusal to 60 along with
the Government means that the
facilities of the NLRB are at least
temporarily denied to all of the
AFL's los unions and his action
may prove embarrassing to the
Government since the CIO also has
refused so far to go along with the
Denham ruling.
Lined up against Mr.. Lewis are
President William Green, Secretary
Treasurer George Meany and y
other vice presidents. The others
agree with Mr.. Lewis that the Den
ham ruling is absurd, but they hold
that reason as insufficient to deny
NLRB use to all of the AFL.
Unity Position Reaffirmed.
Meanwhile the AFL reaff1rmed it's
position on the question of unity
with the CIO. Mr.. Green said that
he, frankly, was not optimistic
about achieving merger with the
rival group.
Referring specifically to Commu-
nists in the CIO, Mr.. Green told
reporters after the council had ar
gued the point that his pessimism
over unity possibilities springs from
"the character of the men in con-
troll of some of those organizations. !"
The Federation officials discussed
plans for an intensive political cam
paign next year aimed at all mem
bers of Congress who supported the
Taft-Hartley Act. Mr.. Green said,
however, that there would be no
collaboration with CIO forces in the
matter unless there was full and
complete organic unity" of the two
organizations.
The CIO has proposed co-opera-
ton through committees while mer-
ger details are being worked out
Mr.. Green said the council to-
morrow would make its third at
tempt in two years to settle the
Hollywood craft union dispute,
which has handicapped work in the
movie capital. Producers from four
Hollywood studios will meet with
the council and other union leaders
in an attempt to iron out the dis
pute, which recently has been the
subject of congressional investiga-
ton.

If the Commissioners adopt
Police Supt. Robert J. Bar

plants would flow, citizens
with crimes to report may get

he succeeds, citizens will be
