Chief Murray Seeks
More Efficient Law
For Disorder|y Cases
By Theodore Crown

Police Chief Robert v. Murray
today announced he will seek a
means of increasing the effec-
tiveness of the disorderly con-
duct law.
AS 1t now reads, police are
unable to press prosecutions be-
cause of the necessity of furnish
ing evidence on exactly what a
person was doing Illegally at the
time of a raid. In a big raid, this
is impossible, Chief Murray said.
One possible solution would be
to make persons arrested in a
raid liable to prosecution, what
ever their reason for being there.
Chief Murray's decision fol-
lowed scathing criticism from
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Clark F. King about the way
police handled the teen-ager
stag fraternity party March %,
in which 81 youths were charged
with disorderly conduct.
May Seek New Law.
Chief Murray said he will
confer with the United States
Attorney and the Corporation
Counsel about the matter. If
new legislation is necessary to
achieve the objective. he wants
it.
The conference will be ar
ranged after Inspector Roy Blick,
head Of the morals squad, COM
pletes a detailed report on the
raid.
MIR. King became critical after
morals squad officers admitted
they could not substantiate
charges against the youths. A
number already have been
dropped, and it is believed most
OF the others will meet similar
fate.
Film Seized.
The raid was made on the
fraternity smoker in the Don
Pallini dance studio, 1925 Con-
necticut avenue NV, when
nearly 200 high school students
- many of them under IS
were rounded up. An hour-long
film. described as Enthusiastically
indecent" was seized at the
party before it could be shown.
Chief Murray admitted the
disorderly charges were made
primarily for the sake of "har-
assment." He defended the &C
ton. however, because he said
he feels the parents should know
about the smoker and the lewd
film that was to be shown.
"And that" he continued.

The disorderly conduct statute
has been used here since the
