Home Owners Here Warned
On ILLEGAL Construction

Washington property owners to-
day were warned by the Building
Inspectors Office that they will be
held responsible if they have con-
struction work done on their homes
by "unscrupulous" contractors who
fail to obtain permits for the work.
Reporting that many complaints
have been received about illegal
work on homes, J. j. Ilgenfritz. dep
uty building inspector, suggested
home owners can avoid prosecution
by requiring contractors they hire TO
obtain permits before the work be-
gins.
Most of the complaints, he said,
are about such jobs as irclosing
porches In wood and adding porches
to homes. On some homes. ne
pointed out, this is illegal because
wooden inclosed porches are f1re
hazard and cut of light and air.

Closer Check Is Planned
On PAYMENTS at Clinics

Payments by outpatients who visit
Gallinger Hospital clinics and
others operated by the Health De-
partment will be collected in more
ousinesslike way under plans now
being prepared by the District
auditors Office.
There is mot much system, at
present" for recording and turning
in the money, according to Auditor
A. r. Pilkerton. As a result, he said,
collections have been negligible,
even from those who can afford part
or full payment for clinic treatment
or drugs prescribed for their use.
Under the uniform procedure to
be adopted soon, the official said.
funds from patients payments will
be recorded in triplicate, with one
form going to the patient as re-
ceipt, another retained by the clinic,
and the third kept for periodic
check by the auditors office.
The system proposed, he said, Is
just an administrative improve
ment. an additional safeguard" to
insure proper disposition OF the
money collected.

dpcing them to four. the report

In other actions on the Auchln-
Gloss Plans the committee took these
stands:
Opposed disastrous dismember-
ment" of the National Capital Parks
system under supervision OF the
National Park Service. The Auchin-
Gloss bill would transfer all but me-
mortal parks to the District Recrea-
tion Department.
Opposed consolidation of the park

minded cities.

officials of the purchase OF parks and
parkways, now the duty Of the
National Capital Park and Planning

war, of the sources and transmission
of the water supply which lie out
side the District boundaries.
Objected to provisions in the
Auchincloss bill for zoning as not
being in line with accepted good

Full Loyalty Probe
OF Less Than 7 PET.
Seen by Richardson

Chairman Seth w. Richardson OF
the Federal Loyalty Review Board
said last night he would be very
much surprised" if as many as :
per cent of the Governments en-
ployes ARE seriously investigated"
Speaking before the Feders
Council for Personnel Administra
ton, Mr.. Richardson said he be-
lieved the overwhelming majority
of Government workers would be
cleared on their preliminary investi-
CATION and that full-scale FBI in
vestigations would be needed in
relatively few cases.
Mr.. Richardson renewed his
pledge that those employees who
are accused will have every chance
to prove that they are not disloyal
1--WE realize that it is perfectly
terrible charge to be accused Of not
being loyal citizen of your Gov
ernment," he said. 1T is much
worse than simply losing your job.
Sees No Witch Hunts.
Acknowledging that the program
isn't perfect, Mr.. Richardson said.
nevertheless, he believes it is as
good a system as could be devised,
and he expressed the belief that no
witch hunts" would result.
"If the board finds this program
is unworkable-as some people say
it is going to be-we will resign in
"a hours" Mr.. Richardson declared.
He added, however, that enough
safeguards have been provided so
that as much justice as Is humanity
possible" will be accorded all en-
ployes.
Our program has the same ele-
ment of error as any other legal or
judicial procedure" Mr.. Richardson
said. mo system is perfect, but we
will try to keep mistakes at a
minimum"
Mr.. Richardson, who was legal
counsel to the joint congressional
committee investigating Pearl Har-
Dor and who has been an outstand-
ing attorney for more than 40 years,
fatty rejected as "impracticable" a
recent suggestion made by an In
terror Department official that
Federal agencies try to locate ac-
cusers that the FBI won't disclose
for security reasons.
Would Impair Efficiency"
Mr.. Richardson said the FBI S
efficiency as an investigative agency
in the loyalty program would be
greatly impaired If it had to dis
close its sources.
IF 1t ever became known that
the FBI violated it's pledge of keep
ing a witness identity confidential,
they could not get people to tell
them anything" Mr.. Richardson
said. Many persons give infor-
nation only on the condition that
their identities be kept secret"
Mr.. Richardson said accused en-
ployes would be given all the facts
of their case except the actual
identities of their accusers. This,
he said, would give them the chance
to refute specific charges that they
attended certain meetings or made
certain statements without neces-
sarily having to know who made the
against them.

thur S. Flemming was among those
attending the meeting at the

weighing charges against Fire Chief
Clement Murphy, announced today
the board had granted attorneys in

ment.

The case will be taken under advise
ment by the board on receipt of
the briefs, Mr.. Garfield said
Decision Due This Week.
A few days study of evidence in
the case will be required, but the

sci Daniel B. Maher, the prosecutor,
and Defense Attorney Martin F.
ODonoghue requested permission to
omit oral presentations and substi-
tute written briefs. Mr.. Garfield
said the board expects to receive
them late today
Chief Murphy was tried on
charges he had "demoralized' his
department by using harsh Ian
guage to subordinates and institut-
ing a rotation system among the
units. --s=--sa-
Not Binding on City Heads.
; II the board finds Chief Murphy
guilty of any of the nine specifica-
tions of the charges, it Is required
by statute to submit recommended
tions to the Commissioners as to the
punishment to be imposed on the
chief. While such recommendations,
in theory, are not binding on the
city heads, it IS believed the judg-
merit of the trial board is not likely

In the general charge. Chief Muir
ply is accused of "inef1iciency" in
discharging his duties and unfit
ness" for the position of fire chief
in that he caused a loss Of morale

proceeds with a listing OF nine in
stances in which loss OF morale
