Murray Plans
Changes for
Police Officials
New Setup Would
Assign Inspectors
For Longer Terms

Police Chief Robert v. Murray
is planning q new command set
up to fix more responsibility on
his inspectors.
The city's police precincts are
now divided into three districts,
with an inspector assigned to
each one for a months tour Of
duty. Two other uniformed in
spectors are on night duty.
Chief Murray said he plans to
assign the inspectors to each
district for a minimum Of six
months and give them full au-
thority and responsibility for
making changes in the precincts
as necessary and supervising the
conduct of police work.
Chief Murray said he consid-
cred the proposed change q
major step forward because it
would give the inspectors more
opportunity to know the officials
under their immediate super
vision.
He said. however, he wants to
discuss the plan first with the
Commissioners, and cannot put
it into effect until the status of
his two suspended inspectors is
made clear.
These two are Inspectors Al
bert I. Bullock and Beverly C..
Beach. both district inspectors
until their suspension last spring
after the Senate District Crime

Donohue Accuses
Congress Of Neglect

Commissioner F.. Joseph Dono-
hue last night said that If Con-
gress had been voting a proper
Federal payment to the District
through the years there would
not be a need now for a 1919
million public works program.
Mr.. Donohue made the com.
ment as he and Commissioners
Renah F. Camalier and Louis
w. Prentiss appeared on the
weekly television program.
"Your Commissioners Report"
on WMAL-TV, The Star sta
ton.
"The problem we have is to
sell Congress on it's RESPONSE
bility," Mr.. Donohue declared.
He estimated that if Congress
had given the District residents
a fair Federal payment through
the years, more than $400 mil
lion would have gone into pub
lie works projects. Because the
Federal payment was low. he
continued, the city now is faced
with selling Congress on the huge
1919 million public works pro-
gram to meet urgent needs.
Mr.. Donohue said the amount
of the Federal payment should
be fixed by some formula so
city officials would know where
they stood and so they would
not have to depend on some
sort of Point -Four program for
backward areas"
Mr.. Camalier said the actions
of one Congress could not bind
another in the matter of Dis
trict appropriations. But he said
acceptance of its rightful A.
nancial responsibility by one
Congress might help to keep 1t
going. at least for awhile"

Housing Authority
Gets Smith S BACKING

The Alexandria Redevelop-

nounced today that it had re-
ceived the support Of Repre-
sentative Smith, Democrat, of
Virginia, in the current contro-
versy over construction of a pro-
posed 148-unit low rent public
housing project.
The housing authority re-
leased the contents of a letter
from Representative Smith in
which he states:
II am in thorough sympathy
with the view of the Alexandria
Housing Authority both as to
the law and the equity of the
situation, and I shall be glad
to cooperate with you in any
way possible.
The controversy stems from
the housing authority's refusal
to award a contract for the
proposed project to the lowest
bidder because it was a union
shop firm. The Public Housing
Administration, however, which
must approve any contract
award, has insisted that the
contract go to the lowest bidder.
The dispute now is before the
