Low Pay Killing Off
D. {. Police Ranks,
Citizens Are Told

| The average rookie who takes
q job these days with the Met
ropolitan Police Department was
described as a failure or a
floater" by a police official last
night.
This charge was made by
Sergt. Robert Dyas Of No. ID
precinct before a meeting Of
the Chevy Chase Citizens Asso-
citation. He was introduced by
Inspector Clarence Lutz, head
lof the Police Morals Division, as
q man who is in close contact
with the man on the beat. In
Espector Lutz listened approving
Fly as Sergt. Dyas continued his
lremarks.
I'VE admit the citizens Of the
District are not getting adequate
police protection" the sergeant
said. 1--WE are weakening in the
middle and dying at the bottom.
I Can't Keep Recruits.
f I'VE have to beat the bushes
Flor recruits, and after we get
them-and there are some very
peculiar ones coming in-we
can't keep them" he said.
( Sergt. Dyas asserted the only
reason the police are doing as
well as they are is that the de-
partment has had q hard core
Of men with 10 or more years of
experience.
| But we have learned that
$50 OF our men are going to
take a test on March IA given
by the New York City police, "
he added.
The sergeant cited a low pay
scale as the reason good men
aren't joining the force and
veterans are taking better pay
Ing jobs elsewhere. He declared
That a married policeman vir-
tually must take on extra work
to make ends meet.
Regulations limiting the
amount OF work a policeman can
DO on his own time have been
relaxed to meet this condition
he pointed out.
10 Per Cent Raise Hit.
inspector Lutz characterized
the District Commissioners plan
Tor a 10 per cent raise for police
men and f1remen as "oniy half
a loaf, inadequate and un-
realistic"
Both Inspector Lutz and Sergt.
Dyas praised a bill by Repre-
sentative Kearns, Republican, of
pennsylvania that would raise
the beginning salary of privates
to $4,000 a year and set a top
OF $4,000. This would mean a
Jump of $840.29 for beginners
and $1,140 for top men.
Representative Kearns' bill
also would shorten the time it
takes privates to reach the ton
pay level from five to four years.
After hearing the two police
men the association approved an
immediate minimum salary raise
OF Is per cent for f1remen and
policemen. This amount would
approximate that called for by
the Kearns bill.

Eisenhower Says Fall
Farm Prices Was
Inherited Problem

President Eisenhower today
described the drop in farm prices
as an inherited problem and
promised that his adminiStra-
ton will use the present price
support law which guarantees
the farmers 80 per cent Of parity
on six basic crops.
The President, however. made
1t clear that the farm legiSla-
ton on which his adminiStra-
ton is working to replace the
current law two years hence will
retain freedom" for farmers.
Republicans charged during
the presidential campaign that
the agricultural industry had
been "regimented" by the Demo-
Gratis.
Speech Stirred Debate.
The President took up the
question of falling farm prices
at the outset of his news con-
ferences against a backdrop Of
heated congressional debate over
a speech by Agriculture Secre-
tary Benson. The secretary said
price supports should be consid-
cred disaster insurance"
Gen. Eisenhower pointed to
the Republican platform which
declared that "a prosperous ag-
riculture with free and indie
pendent farmers" is indispens-
able to the Nation.
The President said simple con-
troll of an industry through Gov
eminent power is easy but that
the control must be across the
board rather than selective.
He stressed that the goal to
be sought Is a program that re-
tains freedom for the farmer.
Notes 2 Year Drop.
Recalling that farm prices had
been dropping for two years,
Gen. Eisenhower said in a Sar-
castle vein that Republicans
have been in Office less than a
month.
The President pointed to large
SURPRISES of farm products be-
ing acquired under present law
and said that they would be
even heavier if it were not for
export arrangements.
At no point did the President
refer to current criticism of the
farm price situation. He re-
called that some weeks ago he
set up a special commission to
work out a new farm program
and said when this group is fin
ished it will represent the think
ing of the country.
Conferred With Benson.
Just before the news confer
ence, Gen. Eisenhower conferred
with Secretary. Benson and

ator Carlson, Republican, Of
Kansas.
weakening Imitation"
Secretary Benson said in a let
ter made public today that the
decline in farm prices "has been
part of a general weakening of
inhationary pressures. He said
the price drop has been going
on slowly and irregularly for
almost two years.
The Secretary was answering
q letter from Senator Young,
Republican. of North Dakota,
who had called on the Eisen-
hover administration to remove
Immediately any doubts con-
corning it's farm program.

Suez Canal Dispute
Reported Near End
BY the Associated Press

CAIRO, Egypt, Sunday, Aug.
30.-A highly placed source said
early today Egypt and Britain
are nearing an agreement to
settle the bitter Suez Canal dis
pute, and formal talks on details
are likely to start in mid -Septem-
Der.
The source said the work on
a solution would begin soon after
the British negotiator. 1t. Gen.
Sir Brian Robertson. returns
from London September 16. Gen.
Robertson is scheduled to leave
here September 6 to report to
the Foreign Office.
The revolutionary council of
the Egyptian Republic held an
urgent meeting last night and
early today to make what was
described at a crucial decision"
on the latest British offer. A
meeting next Thursday is ex-
pected to bring the formal an
nouncement that final talks with
the British will begin.
There was no information on
the basis of the reported agree
ment.
The Western powers have been
urging Egypt to state that the
SueZ base. which would be in
Egyptian hands after the British
withdraw. would be made avail
able to them in any emergency.
The question seems to be: Who
would decide there is an inter-
national emergency-Egypt or
