Tiqhter Check Is Set
By murray on Police
Handling Of Receipts
By J. Theodore Grown

The Metropolitan Police De-
partment has put into effect a
new order tightening up respon-
Sibility for the handling of
thousands of dollars in collateral
and juvenile support receipts.
Under General Order No. 1,
issued by Police Chief Robert v.
Murray, all monies taken in by
precinct clerks and other police
men will be checked three times
daily.
If any unexplained shortages
appear at the end of a 24-hour
period the commanding officer
is ordered to investigate immedi-
ately.
Several Officers Fired.
Adoption of the order recalled
several instances in which police
have been discharged for Short
ages in the collateral and juve-
nile funds.
In 1947 a suspended police
man, found $140.75 in arrears in
these accounts, killed himself.
The investigation showed he had
borrowed" from the funds over
a long period, usually Squaring
up on his paydays.
Over a years period station
clerks and others designated to
accept money handle more than
81 million in collateEals and
nearly $50O,000 in juvenile funds.
Not Released to Press.
The Police Department is
charged with the responsibility
of accepting, and turning over
to the Juvenile Court daily,
funds for juveniles in the public
care. The department also COL
lectS collateral for minor Of
fenses, and turns the funds in
to the Municipal Court.
The new regulation went into
effect 10 days ago. For some
as yet unaccountable reason,
now being investigated by In
spector Howard v. Covell, the
six-page order was not released
to the press, as is customary. 1t
was the first issued by Chief
Murray this year.

500 suit filed against Gov. Battle
and six other State officials by
nine Northern Virginia bus driv-
erS is in effect a suit against
the State" which cannot be sued
except by permission, the officials
contend in a demurrer filed in
Richmond Circuit Court.
The plaintiffs, drivers for the
Arnold Bus Lines operated by
the State Corporation Commits
sion during a recent strike, have
asked $13.500 damages from
each Of the defendants. They
charged in a motion for judg-
ment that they were denied their
right to return to work under
seniority rights as worked out in
a compromise agreement.
The defendants also maintain
that each Of the nine plaintiffs
should have brought suit separ-
ately If at all.
They contend they have fol-
lowed precisely the procedures
and requirements of law and
have not denied the drivers any
of their rights.
Besides the Governor, the de-

Police and Fire
Pay Raise Bills
Keurns' Plan Heard ,
But Donohue Fuvors
City's 1919 Proposal
By Harold B. Rogers

Legislation to increase the base
pay Of Washington police and
flremen was recon m e n d e d
strongly today by spokesmen for
the departments before a House
subcommittee.
Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue stressed the need for higher
pay. He testified, however. for
the Commissioners bill providing
a 10 per cent increase across the
board.
The city heads, he told the
District subcommittee on Public
Service. Streets and Traffic, were
faced with what he called budg-
etary restrictions. The Com
missioners' bill would cost less.
he explained, than the measure
now before the committee.
Need for the pay raise was
stressed by all witnesses to help
curb crime and maintain stand
ards Of fire fighting.
Compromise Bill.
Chairman Kearns explained
that his bill is a compromise be-
tween proposals by the Commits
sioners and the Policemen's AS
sociation.
The Pennsylvania Republican
announced his subcommittee
would meet next week to act on
legislation. He predicted the
group would either report out the
present bill or add minor amend
ments suggested by witnesses.
Strongly supporting the meas
ure, Thomas A. Walden. assist
ant United States attorney, de-
clared the best way to stop drug
addiction was to keep patrolmen
on the street in uniform.
Other witnesses supporting
the bill included Deputy Police
Chief Clarence H. Lutz, presi-
dent of the Policemen's Associa-
tion; Chief of Police Robert w.
Murray; w. P. Waldenmaier,

All Except Chiefs.
The Kearns ibll would raise
the pay of all police and fire.
men except the chiefs.
Cost has been estimated at
about $3.7 million a year.
Privates would be started at
$4,000 a year instead of $3,409,
and could rise by automatic in

At present, privates can reach

ID. T.. Awaits Decision
By White House on
Commissioner Issue

The District today hopefully
awaited word from the White
House on the Board of Commis-
SionerS.
President Eisenhower was re-
ported on the verge of making
an announcement that would
settle at least part of the ques-
ton about the city's governing
body.
Chairman Case of the Senate
District Committee conferred
yesterday with Sherman Adams,
President Eisenhower's assistant
and said developments could be
expected by the week end.
One commissionership is va
cant by reason of the resigna-
ton of Commissioner F. Joseph
Donohue and some Republican
workers are trying to create a
second opening by easing out
Commissioner Renah F. CANA
lier.
Mr.. Camalier is reluctant to
quit, however, and it is not
known how much pressure is
being brought to bear on him to
step aside with his fellow Dem
ocrat, Mr.. Donohue.
Presumably, President Eisen-
hover will announce at least the
replacement for Commissioner
Donohue, either today or to-
morrow.
Washingtonians hope to get
the question settled soon because
much important District business
is pending. This includes work
on the new budget and decisions
about a $337 million public works
program.

White Sentenced
To IS Years 10 Life
In Staying Of Clerk
By WiIIiom G. PoIIord

William Roland White, 18, to-
day was given the maximum
penalty of IS years to life i'm
prisonment in the brutal alley
Staying of a Marine Corps civil
ian clerk last August 8.
He was sentenced by Judge
Alexander Holtzof of the U. S.
District Court for the District
of Columbia, who described the
crime as "atrocious - almost
f1endish."
White was found guilty by a
Jury on February 4. In impos-
ing sentence, Judge Holtzof de-
clared he felt the jury would
have been justified in finding
White guilty of f1rst-degree mur-
der instead of second d-degree.
Calls Jury Wise.
Judge Holtzoff said. however,
he felt the jury from a moral
standpoint was Every wise" in
finding White guilty of the les
ser charge, in view of all circum-
stances.
White will not be eligible for
parole until he has served at
least Is years of the sentence.
Whites attorney, John j.
Dwyer, asked the court for
mercy for his client and asked
that White be given a chance to
rehabilitate himself. Attorney
Dwyer pointed out that no one
at any point had considered
White as normal. At the youths
trial, two psychiatrists testified
White was of unsound mind and
two that he was of sound mind.
Says Mercy Was Shown.
81 feel a great deal of mercy
has been shown" Judge Holtz-
off said. Pointing to the bad
juvenile record of WhiteAoYeI
q period of years, the Judge ex-
pressed the view White should
remain in an institution perm
anently, unless he should change
in order that society may be
protected. To bring about q
change in White would take
many years of pSychiatric treat
ment, Judge Holtzof said.
Whites victim, Ralph T. Blake
46, was beaten, kicked ano
stabbed repeatedly in an alley
in the 900 block of D street NV
White took a ring, watch, a pail
of shoes and 80 cents from the
