Editor Raps Probers
As Judges Of Press

Managing Editor j. r. Virgins
of the Washington Post said yes
terday nothing in the history OF
parliamentary bodies inspires
confidence in them as safe
judges of freedom of the press.
In obvious reference to activi-
ties of Senate committees headed
by Senators Mccarthy, Republi-
can, of Wisconsin and Jenner
Republican. of Indiana and Rep
sentative Velde, Republican, OF
Illinois, Mr.. Virgins said some
congressional committees have
performed essentially judicial
functions"
In some cases, he said, they
have combined the duties of the
executive, judiciary and legisla-
tive branches of Government
The concentration of these, he
argued, is the very definition
of tyranny"
In a speech TO the Maryland
Library Association, Mr.. Virgins
cautioned against any indiscrim-
mate attack upon Congress,
which he said needs fullest au-
thority to conduct inquiries es-
sential to legislation. But he
said Americans must be wary
of the dangers that lie in the
abuse of such power.
Some $50 persons attended the
spring meeting of the associa-
ton yesterday at the Womanr
Club of Chevy Chase, 7431 Con.
necticut avenue. It was the
first session of the group helc
in Montgomery County.

It couldn't have hurt me more
to have my own brother miss

versation with Mr.. Raboye he

A Communist photograph gave
new hope to a Washington area
mother that her son reported
missing in action in Korea,
might be alive and a prisoner.
That's my boy. I don't even
need a magnifying glass to tell"
she said, looking at an enlarge
ment shown her by a Star re-
porter.
On July II, 1950-her birth
day-Mrs. Jack Raahoye of 8713
Bradford road, Silver Spring,
received notice that her son. Pfc.
Ronald Raboye, 81, was missing
III action in Korea.
The picture which now gives
her renewed hope was an Asso-
ciated Press wirephoto originally
distributed by Eastfoto in New
York, which says it came from
the China Photo Service of
Peiping, China.
rev CaptlOn PFOVlded.
Mrs. Raboye had seen the pic
ture when it was first published
in a newspaper in September Of
1850. At that time both she and
Mr.. Raboye we're "about SO per
cent sure" they recognized their
son in it. What now makes their
even more positive is the addi-
tional information in the cap
ton attached to an enlargement
of the photo obtained by The
Star yesterday from the original
AP negative.
A man in the picture identified
previously as Maj. John j.
Dunn" is now shown in the cap
ton as attached to the 21st In
fantry Regiment of the oath Di-
vision. Their son, Ronald, was
last known to be in Co. K of the
21st Regiment.
Looking at the picture Mr..
Raboye said: "That is definitely
him. Now that Dunn is identified
from the 21st we are doubly sure
it's him"
Additional hope that Ronald
is alive and a prisoner of war
was provided the Raboyes back
in 1850 when the family of Pfc.
Walter E. Cole of Calais. Me.
definitely recognized their son
in the same picture. From her
sons letters, Mrs. Raboye had
learned that Pfc. Cole was one
Of her sons four constant COM
panions in Co. K. The others
were Pfc. Gerald A. Choate Of
Worth, w. Va, and Pfc. Eugene
T. Moran Of Pittsburgh. Pa. Pfc.
Moran is the only one Of the
four who was not reported miss
ing in action by the Defense
Department. He was wounded
in the leg during the night en-
gagement from which the other
three never returned.

Murray 10 Reassign
Police Inspectors
To Permanent Posts
By J. Theodore Grown

Chief Robert ". Murray is
planning broad changes in the
Police Department.
His first move will be to re-
shuttle assignments of inspectors
on completion of the cases of
Inspectors Beverly c. Beach ard
Albert I. Bullock, whose f1nan-
cial affairs are under investiga-
ton. ...
The new assignments will be
designed to assure tighter dis
trict control over the various
precincts. To accomplish this,
inspectors will be assigned per-
manently to each of the three
districts and will have full re-
sponsibility for what goes on in
their individual districts.
The inspectors now rotate
their assignments.
Other Changes Planned.
Further changes are planned,
if and when Congress approves
the police budget for next year.
Chief Murray is confident the
budget will be approved.
This will give him 206 more
men, all of them to be assigned
eventually to foot patrol duty.
The chief also plans to return
to an old-time police practice
of putting detective sergeants
into the precincts to direct the
plainclothes men assigned there
and to handle all cases that
arise.
The plainclothes men now are
under supervision of the precinct
captain. whose other duties pre-
vent him giving adequate at
tention to detective work, Chief
Murray said.
Veteran policemen said this
may cause some resentment
among some Of the plainclothes-
men, who are now virtually un-
supervised.
Two Other Objectives.
Chief Murray also would like
two other things, but he sees no
immediate hope for them.
One of these is a survey, by
an outside agency, to determine
if the Police Department could
be operated more efficiently
The Washington Criminal
Justice Association recently
turned down a request to make
the survey because of the cost
involved.
The other is the seemingly
insoluble problem of police WHIT
work as technicians or trades.
men because it costs too much
to hire outside help to do these
| Jobs.
Examples of this are a radio
technician, carpenter, a type
writer repairman, painters ant
mechanics. These men draw
police pay-lower than the!
could get for similar jobs out
side the department-but do NJ
! police work.

JuVeniIeCrii
Rate DropLai
To Publicity
Chief Murray Credits
Newspaper Stories
With Aiding Police

A recent slackening in the
juvenile crime rate was noted by
police officials last night and
they attributed it directly to
newspaper cooperation in efforts
to create a public consciousness
of the problem.
"The numerous newspaper
stories on juvenile miSbehavior
are getting results" said Police
Chief Robert v. Murray. "It al
ways follows that crime in any
form decreases in proportion to
the publicity focused on it."
For the past two weeks The
Star has been publicizing police
aims to combat rising teen-age
crime.
Parent Penalty.
In a positive move to put
blame where it belongs, Deputy
Chief Howard v. Covell has rec
commended steps to penalize par
ents whose children turn to lille
gal pursuits.
These measures, including a
school for wayward parents, have
won the approval of a number
of organizations and individuals.
Chief Murray will discuss them
later this month with the Dis
trict Commissioners.
Meeting With Clergy.
Police determination to curb
young hoodlums again was
demonstrated when they agreed
to meet with the Inter-Denomi-
national Alliance. representing
460 colored clergymen, in the
police conference room on the
fifth floor of the Municipal
Building.
The meeting was sought by
the Rev. Colbert Pearson, presi-
dent of the alliance and pastor
of the Berean Baptist Church.
Tenth and v streets NV.
Deputy Chief Clarence H.
Lutz, head of the morals squad.
agreed to meet with the group
at II am. May 10. Maj. Murray
also will be there for an un-
precedented conference between
law-enforcing and church
groups.
Talk on Proposals.
They will talk over Inspector
Covell's proposals. Another point
for discussion is inadequate
guidance of PAROLES, often lead
ing to a return to crime-spawn-
ing environment. Deputy Chief
Edgar E. Scott of the detective
bureau has blamed much crime
on poor probation methods.
Another conference May %
also will dwell on juvenile crime.
This is the annual meeting OF
the Health, Welfare and Recrea-
tion branch of the United Com
munity Services at the Shoreham
Hotel.
Murray Preston, committee
chairman, will present an analy-
sis of opinions on juvenile prob
lens.

Non-Whites Listed
As Buying Dwellings
Here at Faster Rate

Washington's non-white popu-
lation is buying homes in the
District at a faster rate than
the white people, a Census Bur-
eau report showed yesterday.
The bureau defines non-white
as Negroes, Indians, Japanese,
Chinese and other non-white
races" But the bulk of the non-
whites here are Negroes. The re-
port provides tables giving the
characteristics of housing in the
District and the Metropolitan
area. It documents the trends
which have been apparent for
several years. It shows, for ex-
ample, that while dwelling units
occupied by non-white people
have increased in the District.
there has been a relative decline
in the suburban areas.
In 1910, of the 1873, ,528 dwelling
units occupied by white persons
in the District, 1872 per cent were
owner occupied. The proportion
remained about the same in 1850
1871 per cent of the 161, ,611 units
being occupied by whites.
Trend Since 1910.
whites owned and lived in
1872 per cent of the 39,917 houses,
flats and apartments occupied by
the non-white population in 1910.
In 1850, this had increased to
30.1 per cent of the 62,531 dwell
ing units occupied by non white
persons.
The total number Of dwelling
units in the District in 1910 was
173,445. Occupancy, both owned
and rented, was divided this way:
n per cent white, % per cent
non-white.
Ten years later, the total stood
at 224,142, with 72.1 per cent
white occupied and 27.9 per cent
non-white occupied.
For the whole metropolitan
area these figures were reported {:
1940-250.643 dwelling units:
white occupancy. 500 per cent;
non-white. 1871 per cent.
1950-405,111 units; white oc-
cupancy, 81.8 per cent; non
white, 1872 per cent.

the District, Montgomery and
Prince Georges County in Mary
land. and Arlington and Fairfax
Counties and Alexandria in Vir-
ginia.

Talk Refusa|s
Attuck Is Expected
On Cancellation of
Joint Appearances
By Alex R. Preston
Stor Stoff Correspondent

RICHMOND, May 9.-State
Senator Charles r. Fenwick is
expected to launch a new at
tack on his gubernatorial pri-
mary opponent for failure to
appear before organizations at
which both have been invited to
speak.
His campaign managers are
getting madden by the minute
because of what they call the
refusal of former Representative
Thomas B. Stanley to meet the
Arlington legislator face-to-face
before groups which have a pol
icy of hearing both candidates
or none.
This results. Fenwick support
ers claim, in their candidate be-
ing denied an opportunity of
campaigning before a segment of
the electorate.
Three Joint Appearances.
In the campaing that is now
nearly three months old, the
two have appeared together only
three times. In q number of
cases Mr.. FenWick accepted in
vitations to speak only to get
cancellations when his oppon-
ent said he could not be present.
Mr.. Fenwick's managers are
pressing their candidate to "cut
loose" with a second blast at
Mr.. Stanley. The first such ex-
plosion came two weeks ago in
Roanoke when Mr.. Fenwick cited
figures to charge a record Of Sab
senteeism" to Mr.. Stanley while
a member Of Congress.
Mr.. Fenwick came to Rich
mond yesterday prepared to ap-
pear with Mr.. Stanley on tele-
vision show sponsored by the sta
ton as public service. But the
station Cancelled the program
when Mr.. Stanley sent word that
he had previous commitments.
Stanley Uses Spokesman.
Mr.. Stanley has sent a spokes-
man to represent him at some
of the meetings. The latest in
stance was last night when w.
r. Broaddus, jr., a Byrd ad-
ministration Stalwart in the
House of Delegates, spoke with
Mr.. Fenwick before the Ameri-
can Association of University
Women here.
But Mr.. Fenwick's followers
believe their candidate is put to
a disadvantage in the question:
and-answer periods that usually
follow such panels. They are sug-
gesting that Mr.. Fenwick refrain
from answering questions until
his opponent appears personally.
For instance, last night the
university women asked a ques-
ton concerning education. Mr..
Broaddus began, II want you to
realize that I am appearing as
a representative. There are some
matters that I haven't discussed
with Mr.. Stanley"
Expresses Own Views.
In replying to another question
about absentee voters laws, Mr..
Broaddus said, again I express
only my own views, because I
haven't discussed the matter with
Mr.. Stanley"
On public welfare: again I
hate to answer this question be-
cause I haven't talked with Mr..
Stanley about it, but :"
Stanley campaign headquar-
tiers said its candidate could not
be present because he was work.
ing in his home territory in the
5th District yesterday.
AS Of now, both headquarters
have scheduled their candidates
to appear at the same meeting
on May 81. This is to be a gath
ering of the West End Catholic
