went on to say:
THE very way this scurrilous
resolution was -rollered
through the eighth session of the
U. N. General Assembly shows
what little public approval there
is for this contemplate Ameri-
can move to cover up it's own
monstrous crimes in Korea by
making spurious countercharges
ainst the Korean-Chinese
The same tenor was taken in
an editorial of the Peiping's
Peoples Daily, official organ of
the Communist Party.
Neither the broadcast nor the
editorial made an effort to ex-
plain away photographs recently
published in the United States
showing the bodies of allied
prisoners who were executed with
hands tied behind them.
Nor did either treat specifically
with the accusing testimony of
American prisoners since re-
turned home.

abundantly clear that the U. N.
resolution had hit Red China

259d Pay Rise
For Police and
Firernen Asked
House Bill Also
Coils for Hiring of
600 New Policemen

Representative Dingell, Dem
ocrat, of Michigan today intro
duced a bill to give District po-
lice and f1remen a IS per cent
pay increase and to expand the
police force by 900 more men.
The pay increase would apply
to all personnel, including re-
tired police and flremen.
An insurance death benefit
of $1,000, instead Of $3.50, would
be provided. as well as a Is per
cent increase in benefits to
widows and children of deceased
police and flremen. Currently,
widows get SIPS a month and
SIS for each child under 10
Called "Woefully Short.
The proposed addition of 600
men to the police force would
include 300 foot patrolmen, 100
more two-man scout car teams
and 100 more motorcycle police.
Mr.. Dingell. in a statement,
called the police force "woefully
short for many years" At
present. there is an authorized
force Of 1920 men but Congress,
by cutting the police budget,
knocked out the money to pay
for 206 of the men. Since 1945,
successive police chiefs have
estimated that the District needs
a force of at least $500 men.
With the addition of more
personnel. Mr.. Dingell said,
crime in the District would be
reduced and kept at minimum
with a saving to the community
far more than the actual tax
cost Of the proposed increase in
the force.
Sees Financial Benefits.
AS for the proposed pay raises,
Mr.. Dingell said:
ITO spend money for your
police and fire departments is
the cheapest and best way to
spend the tax dollar. It pays
in safety, security. peace and
happiness and there is no ex-
penditure with which the benefits
received can compare"
At present, the lowest grade
policemen receives $3,410 a year.
After five years as a private, he
gets $4,160. Police Chief Robert
V. Murray has been urging that
the top pay of a private would
be reached after the third year
instead of after the fifth year.

ducts various aptitude tests. A

needs psyche therapy, and if so,
which will be best for him

Then he goes before a board,
which. on the basis of his test
results and his own desires. de-
cides his future at the hospital
On this board are a staff
psychiatrist:: Ward Workman,
the vocational assignment Of
flcer, and a physician.
Smith is told what his reSpon-
sibilities are toward the hospi-
tai. One of these is the fact
that he must make his own bed
and keep his living space clean.
This is Smiths first step into
rehabilitation for group living

find out if Smith is hot
whether he has a reputation as
an informer and thus might
undergo rough treatment at the
hands Of the other patients. If
Smith is shot" his work assign
ment will be more carefully Sc
lected.
Smith now is ready to move
out of the "pajama set" and
