Davis Plans 10 Ask
Prompt Creation Of
Enforcement Council

Chairman Davis of the new
House District crime and law
enforcement subcommittee said
yesterday he plans to meet with
Commissioner John Russell Young
early this week to urge immediate
creation of Council on Law
Enforcement here.
The proposed council is provided
in the omnibus crime-curb bill
introduced by Mr.. Davis but he
said 1t could be established now
without waiting for the bill to
pass.
Commissioner Young, he ex-
planned, would be the logical per-
son to set up the council since
several of the proposed council
members are under his jurisdiction
as president of the Board of Com
missioners.
Makeup of Council.
The council would include the
president of the Board of Com
misSioners. chiefs of the Metro
politan and Park Police, United
States Attorney, Corporation
Counsel. United States Commits
sioner, director of the Department
.of Corrections. one person ap-
pointed by joint action of the
chief judges of District and
Municipal Court and the judge of
Juvenile Court, one appointed by
the District Bar Association and
one appointed by the Washington
Criminal Justice Association.
To Move on Two Fronts.
Mr.. Davis said the new standing
committee-which succeeds the
special crime investigating sub
committee of the last session
plans to move forward simulta-
neously on these two fronts:
To press for quick action on
the 36-point crime-curb bill.
To emphasize the need for
making administrative changes in
law enforcement aimed at cor
recting some of the defects aired
during the special subcommittee S
hearings.
Mr.. Davis said he did not be-
lieve any special staff would be
needed by the subcommittee at
this time to carry on its work.

Arlington Asks State
To Rescind lis Order
Causing Milk Rise

The Arlington County Board
yesterday voted to ask the State
Milk Commission to rescind its
order of January 20 which re-
suited in a milk price increase of
half-a-cent quart in the Wash
ington area.
In other action, the board set
April 6 for "a full-dress rehearsal
for civil defense in an atomic at
tack" A special county depart
ment was created to coordinate
civil defense activities. The board
will appoint a director for the
new department at a salary of
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year.
In a discussion of a report of
police investigating commit
tee. now being studied Board
Member Daniel A. Dugan said
that four members of the police
department told him they ARE
being bulldozed and slapped
around" because of testimony
they gave the investigating COM
mittee.
The boards action on the re-
quest to the milk commission was
unanimous. The resolution in
cluded a provision that the
County Public Utilities Commits
sion, an advisory group, study the
price increase and consider
whether the board should appeal
the action. If an appeal is made,
the resolution said, Attorney NAL
COIN Miller would be retained to
represent the board.
The board majority approved a
letter to the county representa-
tives in the General Assembly ask
ing them if they favor abolition
of the State Milk Commission
The two Democratic members of
the board. F. Freeland Chew and
Alfred E. Frisbie, opposed the &C
ton. Mr.. Chew said it was "un-
precedented to ask a legislator
such a question on the eve of an
election"
Mr.. Dugan said the milk COM
mission is "the most rotten part
of Virginia's not-altogether-fair
government"

Md, already have established the
$125 price.
Every one will be going around
with longer hair and waiting
