Police Association
To Ask Approval Of
Plan for 5-Day Week

The District Police Association
plans to ask the Commissioners
today to approve a f1ve-day week
January / and to ask Congress
to approve payment for offlcers
who volunteer to serve a sixth
day.
The recommendations, it was
learned, are part of a resolution
by the unofficial police organiza-
ton. proposed in view Of the tight
manpower recruiting problems
facing the force.
Congress last fall appropriated
money to expand the force by
800 men TO a strength Of 2,288.
It was agreed at that time that
the department was to get 200

target.
Loses Hold Down Strength.
officials of the association, how
ever, said the 200 recruits have
been added, but that losses
through retirement, resignation
and calls by the armed forces have
held down the actual strength.
In view of the tight recruiting
prospects, one official said, the as
sociation "feels that we are en-
titled to show that we can per-
form well on q five-day week."
He said he believed the asso-
cations plan would not result in
any decrease in protection" but
that, on the contrary, 1--WE would
see the effects Of better morale" :"
Recommendations Listed.
The groups recommendations
/. That the 5-day week be au-
thorized January /.
2. That the Commissioners ask
Congress to allow payment at
straight-time rates to men who
volunteer to serve sixth day.
8. That, pending action on the
legislation, the city heads allow
men to have compensatory time
off for serving the sixth day on q
voluntary basis. The time of
would be given when men could
be most spared.
The official said the associations
proposal would mean that only al
portion of the force would have
to work on six-day basis. Mem
who need the extra money would
easily be sufficient to meet the
need, he said.
Force Includes Reservists. i
In addition, he went on, the
force has 1900 or 300 men who are
subject to call as Reseryists by the
armed forces" This, he said, poses
another threat to increasing size
of the force.
What would we do if these
men were called, go on O seven
day week?" he asked.
Since the military are attempt
ing to recruit many of the same
men as police officials are, hel
added, the association also is con-
cerned about dangers of relaxing
recruiting standards because of
the effect it would have on the
policemen's retirement fund.
With dim prospects of boosting
the departments force, it was
understood, some officials already
have discussed the sixth-day pay
proposal with key District COM
r1ittee members on Capitol Hill.
A spokesman said the groups
resolution would be. shown to
Police Supt. Robert A. Barrett,
and that he hoped 1t could be for
warded to the District Building
later today.
