judgment as to what should be
done under the pending appro-
priation bill. His position was
clarified by his statement that
the chances of adding to appro-
priations granted by the House
would be advanced "if I can tell
the Senate The people of the Dis
trict are willing to pay more
taxes" in order to get bigger pro-
grams.
District officials are asking the
Senate to restore $6.5 million of
the $8.5 million cut in spending
voted by the House. Revised esti-
mates of misunderstanding the
Federal payment will be restored
to $40 million-indicate that this
can be done without any addi-
tional District taxes. The Com
missioners have warned. however,
that additional revenue positively
will be required to cover the cost
of pending increases in pay for
District Government employees.
Stresses Importance
Mr.. Horn said the Board OF
Trade recommended "in the
strongest possible terms" that
the Senate restore the House
cut of 81 million in the Federal
payment. He said:
1.-The record is replete with
voluminous data testifying to
the Federal Governments re-
sponsibility for at least the $40
million annual payment to the
general fund of the District.
Suffice it to say that the $40
million payment was adopted
just a year ago as part of
the Public Works program. This
was approved after lengthy dis

SEND A KID TO CAMP
Wild Boy Gets Chance
To Blow Off Steam

Death came in the cool quiet
of an october night to Jim
Edwards.
His 220-pound frame wasted
to 1876 pounds in series of heart
attacks and pneumonia, the Ma
val Gun Factory boilermaker
found in death a refuge from the
pain-pocked life his sickness had
brought him.
For his wife and four sons,
aged 10, 8, Z and 8, it meant the
beginning of a new period of in
security and troubles.
Goes to Work
Mrs. Edward took stock Of her
situation and found $500 in
social security and $l01 from her
husbands pension fund to keep
the red ink out of the monthly
budget for her family.
She went to work and was able
to add $33 a week to her income
until varicose veins forced
her to give up her job as a sales
lady.
That was it.
She had $159.20 month to
raise her family. She trimmed
her expenses. Their four-room
house in Northeast. on the verge
of condemnation, cost them
$3.50 a month. There was no
hot water. The rest of her money
had to go for food.
The second boy. Johnny. 8,
has red hair and a willful way.
With his father gone, he soon
proved a problem.
He disappeared one day and
was picked up by the police. 1t
happened again and again.
TITS not that he's a bad boy, !"
Mrs. Edwards explains. HE
just likes to run. There's no
place around here for him to
blow off steam so he picks up
with other boys and off they go. !"

others like him, less fortunate
than your children. a chance to

Sought for Year
Police from the Fourteenth

year, through the use of police
women and full-scale searches

The searches sometimes came
within a few minutes after

A half-hundred District citi-
zens and taxpayers today urged
a Senate subcommittee to be
more liberal than the House in
granting appropriations for a
wide variety of District services
Their views included these:
Albert ]. Horn, representing
the Washington Board of Trade:
Urged an increase in funds for
the public schools by $4l.300 to
hire IA clerks to take over rou-
tine operations from school
principals. He also asked that
the Senate restore nearly $780,
900 the House had cut from the
budget for the District Civil De-
fense program; more money to
repair damaged wharves at
Washington Channel and for
restoration of $565. 900 for con-
struction of a new home for the
Police Departments Women's
Bureau.
George Bisset, senior vice
president of the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Co., and James F.
Reilly, counsel, asked the sub
committee to remove a legal
limitation of 2 cents per kilo-
watt hour on the rate the Dis
Etrict may pay Pepco for street
lighting, contending that in
creased costs of labor and mate
rials make this rate unrealistic.
Washington I. Cleveland, for
the American Automobile AsSo-
citation chapter of the District,
said effect of the Districts new
automobile financial RESPONSE
bility law might be jeopardized

The House action, he said
would force the department to

more than previously expected.
The Rabaut subcommittee OF
the House. to Justify its cuts in
police funds. said there had been
Ia 22.3 per cent decrease in the
number of serious crimes here
since January. 1853.
Needs More Men
Chief Murray protested that
reduction in crime rates should
not mean reduction in appropri-
ations and Senator Bible, Demo-
crat. of Nevada interjected: II
can't understand why we should
abolish the police force because
of reduction in serious crimes" "
Chief Murray said he really
needed more men than he now
has-2,278.
He also urged restoration OF
$1,000 to a fund for drafting
plans for q $565, 900 new home
for the Women's Bureau to be
erected in the 1000 block OF
North Capitol street.
Fire Chief Sutton asked for

Col. John Fondahl, District

"a more cautious approach IN
connection with these specific
items"
Not Bound to Status Quo
| Chief Murray sounded hurt at
what he took to be the under
lying theme" of the survey re-
Iport-that the police department
may prefer status quo to any
changes.
| Declared the chief:
"The inference that there is
Ia resistance to change is under
lstandable since tsuch resistance)
lis a natural impulse. But
the record shows that the prog
lress made by this department In
recent years has been primarily
the result of changes.
Hence, in actual practice the
department has demonstrated
that it bears allegiance to nc
particular doctrine except only
the doctrine Of Improvement"
And, the chief added. logic
would dictate that before a
Ichange is effected. there should
be at least a reasonable basis to
believe that a positive advantage
could be accomplished by the
innovation"
| Chief Murray's report covered
only about half the recommend
ations made by the survey COM
mittee. The reason for this, the
chief said, was that, while the
committee had more than a year
to prepare its more than 10 find
!Iings, the department had only
1.-TWO months in which to prepare
Its reactions.
Still Under Study
But, he added, the unanswered
Recommendations are still under
study. The chief said, more
over. that the survey committee
Recommendations will continue
to serve as reference docu-
ment" that the department will
go back to from time to time.
Among the major points OF
agreement between Chief Muir
ray and the survey committee:
/. The system Of five police
inspection districts should con-
tinue. I'm the Is months that
this system has been in effect,
it has proven to be one of the
most important steps taken by
this department" Chief Murray
said.
2. It is a morale factor to give
policemen compensatory time off
for time spent in court while off,
duty.
3. The use Of school crossing
guards to release policemen for
other duties has demonstrated
its value and the expansion of
this type of service is merited.
4. II am in favor Of expert
menting with one-man patrol
cars"
S. "The study Of foot-patrol
beat patterns is an ever-present
Iobligation that will continue to
receive the attention Of this de-
/ iIparment."

"to make drastic changes in any
of these units that have been

said the answer is quite obvious.
