House Unit Will Draft
Legislation to Tighten
Enforcement Here

The House District subcommit-
tee investigating crime today de-
cided to draft legislation for a
number of changes In District law
to tighten enforcement.
Representative Davis. Democrat,
OF Georgia, subcommittee chair
man, announced after an execu-
tive session that there probably
will be dozens Of provisions of
present law studied with a view
to amendment.
Mr.. Davis, a former judge, also
said the committee plans to work
out the details of certain admin
istrative changes in law enforce
ment which would not require
new legislation.
The committee staff was di-
rected to confer at length and in
great detail with representatives
of the various law enforcing
agencies which would be affected
by the changes either in law or
IN ADMINISTRATOR.
OutgrOwth of Hearings.
The proposals are an outgrowth
of recent public hearings and a
tentative memorandum submitted
to an executive session recently of
jurists, prosecutors, police and
other officials dealing with the
detection and punishment of
crime.
This memorandum, which was
given to each of those attending
the recent executive session, was
the subject of careful study today
by members of the Davis subcom-
mittee.
Some Of the proposals in the
so-called "bluebook," encased in
a cover Of that color. will be trans
lated into bills, Mr.. Davis said,
but the subcommittee today also
decided it should add some which
were not in the original bluebook.
Because of the multitude of de-
tails involved in the problem, Mr..
Davis said today he would refrain
at this time from discussing any
one of them or any group of
changes under consideration.
To Confer With Agencies.
The committee staff, Mr.. Davis
explained, was instructed to dis
cuss any changes in law or ad-
ministration with the agency in
volved and to utilize the expert
ence and knowledge of all who
would be affected.
1--WE want to work out statutory
changes that will be practical"
said Representative Davis. 1--WE
want the bills to authorize new
laws that can be placed in opera |
tion most effectively to carry out
the purposes of our committee.
We want to improve law enforce
ment and reduce crime in WASH
ington."
Another meeting of the law en-
forcement officials will be ar
ranged as soon as convenient, Mr..
Davis said. The date has not yet
been fixed.

Hearing Is Completed
On Liquor Industry
Price Control Plea

A House District subcommittee
today completed hearings on 8
controversial bill for voluntary
control of the liquor industry here
and took the measure under ad-
visement for action later.
Opposed by the District Com
missioners and the Alcoholic Bev-
erage Control Board. the measure
was strongly urged by spokesmen
for the liquor industry.
The bill would legalize contracts
between wholesalers and retailers
to forbid the sale of brand name
liquor at less than the price stipu-
lated in such contract.
Commissioner John Russell
Young briefly testified to the ad-
verse report of the District Com
missioners. He said the problem
of alleged chaotic conditions in
the liquor market here was a
matter of business practice.
Opposed by ABC Board.
Alan w. Payne. chairman of
the ABC Board. in opposing the
measure charged that it would in
crease the price of liquor here.
He filed with the committee a list
of prices Of standard brands now
sold in the District in comparison
with higher prices for which the
same brands are sold in New Jer-
sey and New York. These States
have fair trade price laws some
what similar to the pending bill,
Mr.. Payne said.
Asked by Chairman Harris of
the subcommittee If the ABC
Board has any recommendations
to relieve the alleged chaotic con-
ditions, Mr.. Payne said the ABC
Board has recommended to the
District Commissioners a ban on
a sliding scale Of discounts. These
discounts. he explained, are ad-
by wholesalers to large re-
tail buyers at a much more gener-
Gus figure than to the small re-
taller.
Urged to Bar Price Cutting.
Complaint against cut-rate store
advertising was laid before the
hy Murdoch I Eir-
layson, vice president and general
manager of the Middle Atlantic
Distributors. Inc. Strongly sup
porting the bill. he contended it
would not increase prices generally
but was needed to "clear up tre-
mendous chaotic conditions here" :"
Later subcommittee members
asked If the District Commission
ers would have power to prohibit
advertising Of liquor prices. since
