After nearly six months of
waiting, Commissioner F. Joseph
Donohue announced last night
he intends to Invite" Fire Chief
Millard M. Sutton to make his
report on racial integration of
the department this week.
Commissioner Donohue, who is
in charge of police and FIRE affairs,
made the announcement over his
weekly radio program on Station
WWDC.
One of the first duties handed
the fire chief when he took Of
flee last spring was to study
and report back on the feasibility
of mixing white and Negro fire
companies. His predecessor, Jo-
seph A. Mayhem, had recon-
mended abolishing segregation on
grounds that white companies
were undermined and the Negro
outfits over strength. The Com
missioners ordered the new policy.
Opposition by SOutherners.
Certain Southern congressman,
however, opposed the order. and
prevailed on the city heads to
stay it. The situation stood at
that impasse when Chief Sutton
was told to make his own integra-
ton report. Meanwhile, Com
missioner Renah F. Camalier took
Office in June. Consequently, much
of the time that the fire chief
has been presumably going about
his study, Commissioner Camalier
has been consulting him for back
ground on which the Com
missioner can base his stand.
But Commissioner Donohue de-
cided last night that the time
has come for some sort of action.
Il feel that Chief Sutton has
had a reasonable opportunity to
draw his conclusions" Mr.. Dono-
hue said. II shall invite him to
make his report to the Board of
Commissioners next week." He
pointed out that even after the
fire chief makes his report, lit
will be the responsibility of the
Board, not Chief Sutton to make
the determination"

Police Find Relatives
|0f Man Identified as
Hatchet Staying Victim

Police said yesterday they
think they have located the wife
and brother in Maryland and Vir.
ginia of the man found dead in g
trunk Friday. But they still are
trying to get a positive identified.
ton of the body.
The man has been identified
tentatively as Frank S. Moore
about IS. A charge of murder wa:
lodged against Elmer H. Lord
65, caretaker of a rooming house
at 223 Third street NV, five
hours after the badly decomposed
body was found.
Capt. Richard Felber, of the
homicide squad. said there was
little doubt of the dead mans
Identification. But, he said, police
seek a positive Identification.
Police said the dead mans rel
atives were believed to be Mrs
Esther Moore. the wife, of 613
South Buchanan street, Arlington
and William T. Moor, the brother,
of 1907 Hampden lane, Bethesda.
Mr.. Moor is assistant manager of
the Hiser Theater in Bethesda.
During Drinking Bout.
Police have Lords statement
that the man he killed was Frank
IS. Moore. Lord confessed he
killed Mr.. Moore with a hatchet
during a drinking bout in the
rooming house three months ago
The body remained in a third
floor closet, sealed with plaster
until last week when all tenants
of the rooming house learned they
had to move to a new location as
the building was to be demolished.
Lord, according to police, said he
then jammed the body in the
trunk.
Moving men discovered the
body after putty sealing the top
cracked and released a peculiar
odor. They opened the trunk and
found its CHASTITY contents.
Police hoped to get a positive
Identification from an upper den
tai plate. They also were having
the clothes from the body cleaned
so that the brother and wife might
possibly identify them.
Spelled Name With 'E'.
Mr.. Moor said other members
of the family spelled the last name
without the "E" but that his
brother always spelled his name
Moore.
Mr.. Moor said he hadn't seen
his brother for at least five years
and had been out of touch with
him. Mrs. Moore could not be
reached for comment but police
said she had not lived with her
husband for some time.
A coroner's inquest was sched-

|Donohue Will Ask FireChief
For Report on Integrotion Study

voted on integration, Mr.. Dono-
hue, Engineer Commissioner Ber-
nard L. Robinson and Commis-
sioner John Russell Young, now
retired, were all in favor. At
present, Commissioner Camalier
says his mind is not made up,
Mr.. Donohue still favors integra-
ton and Gen. Robinson is not
saying.
In other fields, Commissioner
Donohue last night thanked the
press for giving ample publicity
to the report last Thursday of
Police Chief Robert v. Murray.
But, he said, he was sorry the
newspapers did not give greater
play to three of Chief Murray's
recommendations:
Restoration of the STOP 900 cut
in the current police budget, a 10
per cent increase in police pay and
a reduction from six to three
years of the period that police
private must serve before getting
the maximum pay in that rank.
Shares Murray's Objection.
The Commissioner said he
shared the police chiefs objection
to the Senate Crime Investigation
Committee implication that the
police force is under a cloud of
suspicion"
II wouldn't think Chief Murray
much of a chief if he did not
defend his own fine men in the
department." Mr.. Donohue said.
IT felt regretful myself"
The Commissioner once again
came to the defense of the Citizens
Advisory Council policy of keeping
its meetings closed to public and
press. He said that he and the
council members alike feel that
the meetings should be open when
ever possible. But, Mr.. Donohue
pointed out. when the council is
discussing such confidential mat
terS as personnel. legislation and
pudgetary matters everyone should
be excluded.
He said further that the mem
bers can probably think better in
Seclusion anyway.

Interviews Is Candidates.

in the last two weeks he has
interviewed Is candidates and
screened the Civil Service records
OF 80 others. He added that he
has only one or two more inter-
views before he will make his
recommendations to the District
Commissioners.
The administrator would not in
dicate who his choice may be.
But he said all the eligibles are
residents of the metropolitan area
who now work for the Federal
Government.
He said he found no local gov
ernment employe suited to the per-
sonnel and management posts,
from the standpoint of civil serv-
ice grade and experience. Mr..
Lowe also indicated that as many
as 10 subordinate jobs in the two
new Offices probably will have to
be filled by outsiders"
But for the remaining 90-or- SO
jobs that will ultimately be as
signed to the two Offices, the ad-
ministrator said he is certain he
can draw on the present city gov

mately, however. Mr.. Lowe said
he hopes to have all seven Offices

On the question of financing his
newly created department in fiscal

now under his direct supervision
