"A rose by any other name smells

He said the Commissioners are

of Congress and are committed
to the reorganization plan. He
said such reorganization always
is painful and dissensions are
bound to arise.
Term "a Little Strong"
Gen. Robinson, now attached
to the Office of the chief of the
Corps of Engineers, said he re-
called the letter to Senator Fer

term "ax-men" may have been
little strong, but the fact re-
manned that it was necessary

Gen. Robinson, who guided
the fight for the reorganization
bill, said its objective was to
increase service and to set up

Since the reorganization
started, rumorS have been circu-
lating among city employees that
"aX-men" were at work and
their jobs were in danger.

D. {. Committee Asks
For Non Segregation
Al RosedaIe Pool

The transition Committee of
the District Recreation Board
today recommended that the
Rosedale playground swimming
pool be opened to Negroes as well
as whites.
The committee vote was di-
vided, three to two.
Decision Was Postponed.
Rosedale playground at Seven
teenth and Gales streets NE,
has been the scene of repeated
disturbances over the issue of
bi-racial use. The playground.
itself, was opened to Negroes last
October, but a decision on the
pool was postponed until spring.
The Recreation Board will
take up the Transition Commit
tee recommendation at a meet
ing April IA.
The only other public swim
ming pool north of the Anacostia
River in Northeast Washington
is Mckinley, which is operated
by the National Capital Park
Service and therefore is nom

city reserved for whites would
be the Georgetown pool.

Board Member Henry Gichner
said white citizens are boycott

it was unsegregated. He sug-
gested that the situation might
be improved If certain days were
set aside for use of boys only.
and other days for girls.
Milo F.. christensen, superin-
tendent Of Fairgrounds, said his
staff had uncovered no organized
opposition to the use of the pool
by Negroes.

Spencer S Home Rule
Support Is Outlined

The longtime support Of home
rule for the District by Samuel
Spencer, Commissioner desig-
nate, was outlined in a radio
broadcast here last night.
Appearing on the broadcast
was Mrs. Montgomery Blair, jr.,
who spoke as the representative
Of the Washington Home Rule
Committee. She was interviewed
by Mrs. George Milloy Of the
League Of Women Voters. The
broadcast was over Stations
WWDC and WCFM.
Mrs. Blair said she has known
Mr.. Spencer for 80 years. AS q
member Of the WASHINGTON
Home Rule Committee, he testi-
fed before Congress in 1948 in
favor Of the old Aucnincloss
home rule measure, she recalled.
She said he and four other
lawyers prepared and submitted
a brief to Congress supporting
home rule.
AS to how the Republicans feel
about home rule, Mrs. Blair
pointed out that the official party
platform favors it. She quoted
the statement Of Senator Taft,
Republican, Of Ohio: Those who
oppose home rule have no con-
fidence in self f-government."
Mrs. Blair said home rule
should come before national rep
resentation because home rule
requires merely q simple act Of
Congress, while national repre-
sentation requires q constitu-
:tional amendment.

eide squad to the general assign

To D. {. Group
Decision Fovorinq
Commercial Use
Ends Controversy

Secretary of Interior Mckay
today rented the Carter Barron
Amphitheater to a Washington
corporation for the presentation
of commercial productions dur
ing the summer.
The decision settles a contro-
versy in which some residents
of the neighborhood at Sixteenth

vigorously opposed the step.'
The contract was awarded to

by Actress Constance Bennett.
The Interior Department said
the corporation would present
operettaS and other musical pro-
ductions for a 12-week period
from June Is through Septem-
ber Z.

Sees Objections Met.
The Secretary said the compile

nate all the objections voiced.

gross receipts ranging from /
to is per cent. The corporation

Murray Sees Raise
As Only Way 10 Keep
Force Up 10 Standard

Police Chief Robert v. Murray
today declared that nothing but
a prompt pay raise for policemen
can keep the department in
fighting shape to battle the Dis
trict's rising crime rate.
The chief declared that 100
officers resigned during 1852 and
that 80 more have resigned dur
ing the first three months of this
year.
He said, In effect, that a low
pay scale is the primary factor
behind the increased number of
designations and called on Con-
gress to "give this matter serious
and early consideration"
Chief Murray. in a special
statement to members of the
force, said that there are 245
vacancies at this time and that
from the many letters of resig-
nation, I am now convinced that
anything less than the pay pro-
poSal sponsored by Representa-
tive KearnS will not be sufficient
to recruit and retain members
Of this department"
Actually. however, there are
not 245 vacancies that can be
filled in the Metropolitan Police
Department, but only 80 under
present conditions.
When asked for a Qualification
later. Chief Murray said his use
Of the number 245 was based on
the departments authorized
strength of 1880 men.
A slash in appropriations last
July ! reduced to 2,O84 the num-
Der Of men who could be hired,
206 men short Of the legal au-
thorized strength.
Chief Murray agreed that
under the present financial ar
rangement there are but 80 va
cancieS, some Of which are re-
served for men In the armed
forces. Men are available on
the Civil Service register to I'LL
the other vacancies.
Chief Murray, In testimony be-
fore Senate And House District
subcommittees. strongly indorsed
the police pay raise bin intro
duced by Representative Kearns,
Republican, Of Pennsylvania.
The last congressional appro-
priation, which knocked down
the number Of men the Police
Department could hire, has been
q source Of trouble to Chief Muir
ray and his assistants.
Officials have pointed out that
the 206 vacancies which cannot
be filled-pay raise or no pay
raise-would mean a number Of
additional officers to patrol beats
on foot and would add to the de-
partment's ..flrst line Of defense
against an upsurge in local
crime.
Evening star., 1953-04-01

Mr.. Abernethy said he per-
sonally had had no headaches
about any low tag number, but
added, Every year I see by the
papers that the Commissioners
are burning midnight oil to try
to decide who gets what low tag
number.
They are bound to make
somebody mad. I would think
they would welcome an oppor-
tunity to eliminate this business
Of annual confusion.
II would think that the Com
missioners would have more i'm
portant things to do than to sort
out the low numbers for the
people who use pressure to get
some special number"

Broyhi|| Bill Permits
President 10 Proclaim
D. {. Daylight Time

A new move to give Washing.
ton daylight saving time was be-
fore Congress today, in legisla-
ton that would allow the Presi-
dent to establish it by annual
proclamation.
A bill to this effect was intro
duced in the House yesterday by
Representative Broyhill, Repub-
ican, of Virginia. It went to the
House District Committee.
District Committee Chairman
Simpson said he would refer the
Broyhill bill and other daylight
saving legislation to the District
Judiciary subcommittee, headed
by Representative O'Hara, Re-
publican, of Minnesota.
Mr.. O'Hara. an opponent Of
daylight time. said his subcom-
mittee will meet sometime after
the Easter recess to consider all
daylight bills before it.
Among them is one to author
ize the District Commissioners
to establish daylight saving for
this coming summer only. It was
voted down recently by the
House District Committee by q
vote Of 8 to Z and is due for
reconsideration,
Another measure, to give the
District Commissioners perma-
nent authority to order the clocks
changed each year, was approved
yesterday by the Senate District
Committee. It is to come I'D for
action before the Senate tomor-
row. If passed, it would go to
the House District Committee.
and its Judiciary Subcommittee.
This bill would give the Com
authority, if two out
Of three ohter cities, Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New York.
went on daylight saving time.
Mr.. Broyhill voted against the
original one-year daylight bill
in the House District Commit
tee. But he feels his own bill. to
give the President power to pro-
claim daylight saving time, is a
new approach to the problem.
Mr.. Broyhill changed his mind
since voting against the original
daylight bill because he received
evidence from his constituents
that a majority Of them are in
favor Of changing the clocks. He
recently announced he would
move to reconsider the House
bill against which he voted and
to cast his vote for 1t.
Since the negative vote of the
District Committee, a volume of
support has rolled up in tele-
phone and mail messages to
members Of Congress. Radio and
television stations have been
flooded with public response to
polls, showing up to 20 per cent
or more in favor of daylight
saving.
