Legal Ruling

Last March, the District Com

the city finally had it's own treat

They had this to go on:

In June, Congress underlined
the idea for a treatment center
by approving a $2,250,000 build

issued ruling. He said in effect:
You can treat the mentally i'll
who come voluntarily for help.
But there's nothing in the law
to let you treat the others-the
ones brought in by police. the
ones sent by the courts for men,
tai observation, more than 100
per month.
Under this ruling, it Is pos
sible for a patient in one bed to
get the full benefit of modern
treatment while the patient in
the next bed is only kept quiet
until he is committed to st.
Elizabeths Hospital or sent home.
Under Mr.. Vests ruling, there
is nothing to prevent the hospi-
| tai from sending the patient on
to st. Elizabeths on an emergency
basis without waiting for formal
commitment. And st. ElizabethS
will treat him.
Objections to New Plan.
There are two objections to
this idea, however:
!. Some patients might never
have to 60 to st. Elizabeths II
they could be treated promptly
at District General Hospital.
The Commissioners for years
have been trying to get away
from the idea that District Gen
erals pSychiatric division was
just clearing house. The new
idea-long advocated The Star
and medical authorities-was
that mentally i'll patients should
get treatment.
This new idea began taking

His statement climaxed a

whether he was a real war hero

from Ogden came as a great sur

To Use Punch Card
Income Tax Report
New Form Considered
Practically PoinIess;
Other Blanks Changed
By jones (. Roper

The Internal Revenue Service
yesterday unveiled a new series
of income tax forms, including
a punchcard-type form that
may relieve 20 million persons
of the onerous duty of comput-
ing their taxes.
Internal Revenue said the
overhaul of tax forms-ref1ect-
ing vast changes in the tax laws
this year-was "the most diff
cult and comprehensive task
facing the Internal Revenue
Service in it's history"
| Government printing presses
already have started turning out
some 200 million copies of the
various blanks, making this the
largest single printing job in
history. The Government will
start mailing the forms to tax
payers right after Christmas.
They are to be used in paying
taxes on this years income. The
taxes are due April Is.
The tax blanks come for the
first time in multicolored pack
ages. and include for the first
time form that does not re-
quire the taxpayer to compute
his taxes even though he still
must file-and paw.
Punchcard Type.
This is form 1040A, which now
comes as a card that can be
punched and put through COM
putting machine. It may be used
only by persons or couples who
receive gross annual income of
less than $5,OO0-consisting of
wages on which withholding
taxes have been paid and no
more than $100 in other wages,
dividends or interest.
A person using the new IS
line form may not take more
than the standard 10 per cent
deduction nor itemize his de-
ductions.
He needs to fill in only few
statistics such as his income and
a list of his dependents. He also
needs the W. form which he
receives from his employer. The
W. shows how much he already
has paid in withholding taxes.
The card and the W. form go
into an envelope which Uncle
Sam will furnish for this kind
of return.
When the return reaches In
ternal Revenue. 1t viii be punched

Murray Proposes
Six-Day Week for
Experienced Police
Sees More Protection
For Public; Volunteers
Would Get Added Poy

Police Chief Robert v. Murray
last night proposed new way to
give the public more police pro-
lection.
His official budget request Is
for a 2,5O0-man force but Com
missioner Samuel Spencer has
made it clear that the chances of
increasing the force by 220 men
are slim.
So, Chief Murray has come up
with this alternative plan:
That privates on the present
force be allowed to volunteer for
a sixth day with pay up to the
equivalent of a 2,500-man force.
Puts Cost at Far Less.
He said the cost would be far
less than recruiting up to $500
men because there would be no
outlay for uniforms or equipment
and for three months training.
The alternative plan, he said.
would have the further advan-
tage of putting experienced
police rather than rockies on the
street.
Congress permitted us to do
this last year until we reached
our authorized strength of 2.280
men," the chief explained. 1--WE
were able to show a 19 per cent
reduction in crime while the ma
tional average increased by 85
per cent. don't think Congress
would refuse to approve this plan
in the light of that showing"
Recruiting has been successful
enough to get the force up to
2.195 men, he said. The diff
ference between the present
force and the authorize d
strength is IS men, of which 25
are on military leave and their
places cannot be filled. That
leaves only 60 men whose unpaid
salaries can be used to pay sixty
day overtime.
Best Solution Now.
II believe the long-range goal
should be 2.500-man force" the
chief said, "but to give the pub
lie proper police protection, the
alternative of a sixth-day of
work from experienced policemen
is the best solution at this time
in view of the Districts financial
situation"
Both the Criminal Justice AS
Sociation and the Council on Law
Enforcement are on record for a
2.500-man force.
In another development affect
ing police. Commissioner Spencer
was asked on Station WWDC's
Report to the People" last night
whether police would get any
recompenSe for the thousands of
hours of overtime they worked
without pay during the school
integration troubles.
He replied that the Commis-
sioners had opposed a bill to pay
police for overtime work during
emergencies. He said he was sure
the question would come up again
at this session of Congress. In
stead of the pay. he said, II think
I would support a bill for COM
pensatory time off,"

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 16.-For-

to the American people tonight
to elect a Democratic Congress

lican spectacle of "blunder after
blunder" in foreign policy and
tragic surrender at home to
selfish interests"

Mr.. Truman stepped into the

been announced as his only
speech of the campaign, a fight
ing speech at a Midwest Demo-
cratic political rally in Munich
pal Auditorium.
Clarence B. Hoff, manager of
the auditorium which holds
10000, estimated the crowd at
1000.
"Frenzied Diplomacy"
In his old, give 'em hell'
form, the former President
ripped the G.. o. P. for what he
termed "frenzied diplomacy"
that has cost us the confidence
of friends and allies. He accused
the Republicans of serving the
special interests instead of those
of the people, of a shocking
give-away" of the Nations re-
sources, of waiting for a mi
racle while millions are jobless."
And under the new admins
tration. Mr.. Truman said, farm
ers have received just what
he warned about in 1952-loWer
income and a cost of living at
an all-time high.
81 cannot see where there is
any leadership among the Re-
publicans to deal with the great
needs of this country" Mr..
Truman said, ION the contrary,
what I do see is a hopeless drift
ing and a gradual surrender to
selfish interests at home.
Have Sure Remedy.
II would not have you go home
tonight in mood of despair and
gloom. Happily for us we have
a simple and sure remedy: Vote
the Democrats back in control of
Congress"
The crowd whooped it up
when he told of ignoring his
doctors orders to speak tonight
and again when he lit into the
Dixon-Yates power contract as
a "give-away of public money
and national resources"
Mr.. Truman interpolated a
line that: "The Atomic Energy
Commission should not be dis
credited by an atomic energy
give-away that would make the
| Teapot Dome look like small
change indeed"
Furthermore, he said he was
rejecting suggestions that he
avoid the whistle stop technique
and speak softly, as a sort of
elder statesman, on a high and
mighty plane. But he did avoid
! any open, direct attack on Pres
ident Eisenhower personally,
