suit Of such a REORGANIZATION. DR..
Neumann said. I'VE take the lib
ertY of reminding the Administra-
ton that this promise is still I'M
redeemed. Now and then there are
signs of a sounder and more real
istic approach TO the problem but
thus for the State Department has
not come up with any plan cal
culated TO remedy the dangerous
situation
The State Department played a
role in the continuance of eco
nomic and technical assistance for
Israel. Zionists viewed this appre-
citation and were quick to ack-
nowledge that generous Ameri-
can aid, outside the military
category, did much to make the
state secure.
Late Spring brought hope that
the easing of East-West tension
woull be reflected in a slowing
of the tempo in which the Arabs
were being courted. It was felt
that a more stable world situation
would bring about relaxation
of American Near Eastern poll
cies which. though aimed at Com
munism. evolved indirectly TO the
detriment of Israel.
Fundamentally, Israel agreed
with American detectives. Israels
friends in Washington frequently
stressed this. But Israel was
troubled by the tactics used to
achieve these detectives.
An underlying affinity and
strong bonds of mutual esteem
linked America and Israel so
strongly that proponents Of the Is
zael view and State Department
policy makers differed on APP
proaches but not on the ultimate
detectives. The year brought diff
ferences but it also brought great
er understanding and tolerance.

Murray Cool Toward Plan to Revomp
Some Parts Of Police Department

Metropolitan Police Chief Rob-
ert v. Murray, in a report under
study today by the Commission
ers, took gentle exception to
recommendations by a special
survey committee that favors
major reorganization Of parts of
his department.
Although phrased in the mild
est of terms, the Chiefs report
conveys a strong undercurrent
of resistance to some of the ma
jor proposals for change.
For the rest. Chief Murray
pointed out that large number
of the committees recommends
tions already are under study or
have been put into effect.
The survey group released its
conclusions last February after
a study of more than a year :.
The committee consisted of Ed
ward j. Flynn. then managing
director of the Washington
Criminal Justice Association:
Kenneth w. Holl, management
officer of the Districts General
Administration Department. and
Inspector Earl P. Hartman, chief
clerk and property officer Of the
Metropolitan Police Department.
Among their proposals were:
/. That such headquarters out
fits as the robbery squad and the
gambling squad in the detective
bureau should be reduced in
size so that more men could be
assigned to the precincts.
2. That the traffic division
place more emphasis on planning
and CO. ordination and should
also pare off personnel for duty
in the precincts.
The Chief called attention to
the high efficiency record of
these departmental agencies.
