Murray Asks More
Police on Force and
Raise for Priyates,. !.

Police Chief Robert v. Murray
last night asked for a further in
crease in the number Of men on
the police force. as well as pay in
creases for privates with less time
in grade than required at present.
Maj. Murray voiced these views
on the Mark Evans Show, over
WTOP-Tv.
He suggested a 10 per cent in
crease and a reduction in time
necessary for top-grade privates.
This would be reduced from six
to three years to attract and re-
tain the right type of man on
the force, Chief Murray declared.
Asks Cautious Driving.
Chief Murray asked citizens of
the District also to be extremely
careful in driving during the
Christmas season. He particularly
asked his listeners not to drive
liz they have been drinking.
Maj. Murray pointed out a
change in the leave restrictions
which have been in effect since
December 8. At that time, nc
policeman was permitted leave
except for bona fide reasons, be-
cause of the holiday strains on
shopping and traffic details. This
restriction, in general, will con-
tinue until after Christmas.
Some Exceptions.
But, Maj Murray, said, precinct
captains have been advised that
men with families, who made
plans to leave the city before De-
cember 8 should be permitted to
do so, provided their leaves dc
not detract from the efficiency Of
the force.
He also asked for support of the

Probers Are Reported
Agreed on Findings in
McCahhy-B Benton Row
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

The Senate Elections Subcom-
mittee was reported today to have
reached virtual agreement on q
report sharply critical Of Senator
Mccarthy, Republican. Of Wiscon-
sin, and much less critical of his
political enemy, Senator Benton.
Democrat, of Connecticut.
The subcommittee. headed by
Senator Hennings, Democrat. Of
Missouri, has conducted a long
investigation Of charges the two
Senators have flung at each other
and which became issues in their
campaigns for reelection.
In q resolution filed with the
Senate in August, 1851, Senator
Benton sought the expulsion Of
Senator Mccarthy from Congress.
He accused the Wisconsin law
maker of fraud, perjury and de-
ceit. Senator Mccarthy, in q
counter resolution flied last spring,
charged Senator Benton had pro-
tected Communists and Commu-
mist sympathizers while an As
sistant Secretary of State in his
|pre-Senate career.
Senator Hendrickson, Republic
can, Of New Jersey, the elections
subcommittee's vice chairman,
had announced last week report
of findings in the two investiga-
tions would be handed down be-
fore Christmas Day. But the
subcommittee says now its report
will be delayed by the illness of
Senator Hennings, who is nursing
Ia case of influenza.
The subcommittee has refused
to comment on the possible trend
Of its report, and in recent days
has met secretly at unannounced
places while giving the draft re-
port a final polishing.
A well-placed source who de-
clined to be named told a reporter
the draft now is ready for a final
vote, "but at least one member is
very unhappy about some of the
language. and there is Just an
outside chance that they will wind
