McGarragE1y Hopes
For 1855 Passage
Old. {. Primary Bill

Joseph G. McGarraghy, leader
of the Republican Party in
Washington. expressed hope yes
terday that Congress will enact
an acceptable primary bill for
the District at its session next
year.
Legislation approved by the
83d Congress was vetoed Friday
by President Eisenhower because
it included a provision that
would have exempted Federal
employees here from the Hatch
Act. The Hatch Act specifically
prohibits Federal employees from
taking active part in political
campaigns
Mr.. McGarraghy said he saw
nothing to prevent the passage
of bill that would set up pri-
mary election machinery and
still meet President Eisenhower's
approval by eliminating the
Hatch Act exemption.
The Republican leader said
it would be necessary to get
action at the next session of
Congress If the primary law is
to be useful in 1856.
He pointed out that the pri-
mary here would be held in
April. 1956-two months before
the national conventions. To set
up an election board, redistrict
the city and make over provi-
Sions, the Commissioners would
have to act not later than Feb
ruary, 1856.
Since it would be virtually i'm
possible to obtain congressional
action within a month after Con-
gress convenes in January, 1856,
for its second session, the legis-
lation should be cleared in 1855,
he reasoned.
Mr.. McGarraghy worked hard
for passage of the bill at the re-
cent session. He suggested q
number of amendments which
were incorporated in the meas
ure that passed both Senate and
House.

Bible Rice Urged
To Feed Asia and
Cut Wheat Surplus
By The Assoeio,ed Press

Sen. Humphrey, Democrat Of
Minnesota said yesterday that
"bulgur" may be the answer to
two world problems-the Ameri-
can wheat surplus and the politi-
cal danger Of hunger in Asia.
Bulgur is a food-parboiled
wheat-that was eaten by the
Biblical Babylonians. Hittites and
Jews. Senator Humphreys idea
is to convert the huge domestic
wheat surplus into palatable
product which could be used to
help feed the rice-deficit areas
of Asia now threatened by Com
munism.
He has asked the Senate to
study the proposal. put forward
originally by DR.. Francis Joseph
Weiss, a Washington State au-
thority on food and nutrition.
The Senator said: "Bulgur Is
similar in taste and appearance
to rice; can be prepared like rice
dishes to which the rice-eating
people In the Far East are ac-
esGtoued."

Plan 10 Make Youths
OF Is Police Aides
Indorsed by Spencer

Police Chief Robert v. Muir
rays plan to bring 18-year-old
high school graduates into the
Police Department as apprentices
last night carried the strong per-
sonal Endorsement of Commits
sioner Samuel Spencer.
MIR. Spencer was asked during
his Report to the People" broad
cast over Station WWDC if the
Commissioners would approve
funds for so youths to start the
police aide" program. His an
swer implied the program would
have a good chance of making
the next budget.
"Str0ngly in Favor"
He said he hadn't discussed
the program with his fellow
Commissioners, but he personally
was strongly in favor" of it.
"At present." he explained,
"the Police Department can't
take on recruits until they are
81. A great many men have al
ready started on other forms of
activity by that time.
under the program, they
could be taken on as apprentices
at 18 and trained until they are
81. The program would tend to
relieve veteran police for actual
police work on the streets and
at the same time, give the boys
indoctrination SO they will be
better recruits"
He said the program would
save the District money in the
long run and cope with the
long g-standing problem of re-
cruiting.
Competitive Basis.
Chief Murray, who had the
program studied in detail before
presenting it to Commissioner
Spencer, said the boys would be
selected on a competitive basis
in Washington high schools.
If the budget for the program
| is approved by the Commission
ers, the department would start
| getting police aides next July.
Mr.. Spencer was less promis-
ing when asked about approving
funds to increase the police
force to $500 men as has been
urged by the Washington Grim
inal Justice Association and the
District Council on Law En-
forcement.
Were not going to have any
money to throw around" he
said.
