The Districts legal and judicial
system was defended today by
United States Attorney George Nor
ris Fay and Corporation Counsel
Vernon E. West.
Both court officials told House
District Subcommittee on Home
Rule and Reorganization that the
present setup operated efficiently and
was acceptable financially. The sub
committee met simultaneously with
a subordinate home rule subcom-
mittee which today discussed pro-
posals for a city manager form OF
government for Washington.
In answer to the committees query
as to whether a change In the court
setup under a form of home rule in
Washington would save District tax
payers money. Mr.. West replied that
he did not think so.
such a change would probably
increase the burden on District tax
payers" Mr. West declared.
Changes Suggested.
The witness said Congress could
limit the jurisdiction of District
Court and the United States Court
of Appeals here to the same sort
of jurisdiction that Federal Courts
have in the various States, and pro-
vide for other courts here to have
Jurisdiction over local. cases.
Mr.. West, however, said that this
would prove costly in the long run.
Mr.. West also doubted the wisdom
of creating the office of a public
prosecutor as a separate office from
that of the corporation counsel or
the United States Attorney.
Since the corporation counsel
participates in the drafting and ad-
ministration of municipal regula-
tions and statutes, his office is bet
ter adapted to prosecute violations
of such regulations and statutes
than would be the Office Of spe-
cial prosecutor" he said.
Fay Is Questioned.
Likewise, Mr.. West agreed with
Mr.. Fay that the United States
Attorneys Office should retain its
control over criminal cases. Rep
resentative Allen, Republican, of
California, chairman of the sub
committee, asked Mr.. Fay whether
there is anything particularly
wrong with the present system?'
Mr.. Fay said that he did not be-
lieve there was.
Under the present system. the
United States Attorneys Office ham
dies all criminal cases, whether
they are local offenses or violations
of Federal statutes. Technically
all crimes are offenses against the
United States Government, since
the District is designated as Fed
eral territory. The courts here oper-
ate on the same basis. I

The commissioners today ordered
transfer of No. l police precinct
from the S2-year-old' building at
425 New Jersey avenue NV. to the
Municipal Center. The action was
taken or recommendation OF Police
Chief Robert j. Barrett, who con-
ferred with the Commissioners.
The transfer will necessitate find

the Minimum Wage and Industrial

office space at the Municipal Cen

The present precinct house has
been condemned as an unsanitary

of obsolete stations in need of re-
placement under an l1-year city
improvement plan recently placed
before the Commissioners by a rep

Barrett said the city would save

Disabled Veteran Wins
Riqht 10 Carry Mail

The Civil Service Commission to-
day decided to allow a disabled
World:War II veteran to qualify for
permanent status as Post Office
letter carrier, after he previously
was ruled ineligible because of his
disabilities.
The veteran, Jack Ruehlman, "a,
OF 622 Nicholson street NV, lost his
left leg and the sight of one eye
during the war. He has been en-
ployed at the City Post Office as a
special delivery carrier in tenn
porary status for the last 18 months.
Mr.. Ruehlman took an examina-
ton for permanent appointment,
passed it, and then was notified by
the Civil Service Commission that
his disabilities barred him.
Commission President Harry B.
Mitchell ordered a reversal of the
decision after he said he learned
the commissions medical division
did not know Ruehlman already
was on the job
The Veterans Preference Act, Mr.
Mitchell explained. provides that if
a veteran already is doing satisfac-
tory work on a job, he must not be
Disseminated against because of
physical disability.

President s. |. Signs Bill
To Parole Prisoners
Serving Short Terms
Truman today signed a

President Truman today signed a
measure to extend the Districts
parole system to cover prisoners
sentenced to short terms for mis-
demeanors and to modernize the
program here.
The new law changes the name OF
the Board of Indeterminate Sem
tence and Parole to that of the
District of Columbia Parole Board
1t also provides that one of the three
board members shall be paid.
The Commissioners, Immediately
on learning the President had signed
the bill, announced appointment OF
Leo A. Rover, former United States
attorney here, and Col. Campbell G..
johnson, executive assistant to the
director of selective service, as board
members. They had served on the
old board. No action was taken or
the paid member by the Commls-
sioners.
Oficials explained that hitherto
prisoners sentenced to from SIX
months to a year have not been
eligible for paroles. Previously, they
had to be sentenced on felony or
for a misdemeanor carrying a SEN
tence of more than a year to be
eligible. The new law makes them
eligible for parole where the SEN
tence is more than 180 days, re-
gardless of the offense. 1t extends
parole to cover misdemeanor cases
of less than year sentence.
On their application to the board
prisoners can be released from jail
under board supervision for the re-
mainder of their sentences If they
are considered rehabilitation ma
terial. The parolee, however, under
the new act, will remain under the
legal custody and control OF the At
torney General.
Present at the White House when
the bill was signed were Mr.. Rover,
Col. johnson. Wilbur La Roe, jr., a
former board member; Frank r.
Jelleff, former board chairman. and
Hugh F.. Rivers, executive secretary
of the board.

Shift of First Precinct Quarters
To Municipal Center Ordered

ment costs for the rat-infested
structure.
In addition. he pointed out, ap-
proximately $500 could be saved
on annual maintenance charges in
volving heat. electricity, janitor
service and general building mainte-
nance.
The police chief also argued that
the cell block now used by the De-
tective Bureau at headquarters
could be used for both precinct and
bureau activities, resulting in a saw
ing in cell guards of at least four
policemen.
Other savings would result from
the elimination of trips to head
quarters for mail, supplies and
bringing prisoners to the lineup,
he said.
Capt. Robert Pearce of the first
precinct, who also appeared with
Mai. Barrett before the Commits
sioners, rejoiced at the prospect OF
moving from his present quarters.
There are rats in the basement as
big as cats" he said, adding with a
smile, I'm afraid to go down there"
