cases. 166 were committed, 140
were turned over to juvenile au-
thorities and there we're other
dispositions in 1875 cases.
In advance of the meeting of
police officers and prosecutors,
set fol- $3.50 pm. today in Mr..
Rover's Office, Mr.. Rover said he
believed the police captains
should be given more discretion
to determine whether the cases
should be brought to court or
simply handled in the precinct
Chief Murray agreed.
The big problem, both said,
is that persons who have been
assaulted by sons, husbands or
wives frequently do not want to
prosecute. and so there is no
complaining witness to go into
court.
1.-THE figures look as though
we are refusing to prosecute in
thousands of cases of aggravated
assault" Mr.. Rover said. Many
could be brought into court as
simple assault and many should
not be brought into court at ALL"
Chief Murray said his statis-
ticians have told him that, in
other cities. there are a max
imum of 10 to Is reported cases
OF aggravated assault for each
murder reported. Here, he said,
there are so to 60 cases of aggra-
waited assault reported for each
murder.
This indicates some discrep-
ancy in the reporting system"
he said. 1T doesn't make sense
that the District should have so
many more aggravated assaults
than Los Angeles, Chicago and
Detroit when we have fewer
crimes than these cities in the
other categories."
Before this afternoons meet
ing, he planned to send some of
his officers to confer with the
FB1 experts on crime reporting
to be sure that any change of
charging procedures here is in
line with FBI reporting
standards.

Strike Vote Set
ByCarpenters

Union carpenters in the Wash

vote tomorrow with their cur
rent contract scheduled to ex-
pire Saturday.
A spokesman for the Car
penter's District Council said a
strike Monday is "a very definite
possibility"
The council represents more
than 5000 area carpenters.
The union has asked a 80
cents an hour wage increase.
A negotiating committee of
the Construction Contractors
Council has offered renewal of
the present contract with no
wage increase. The contract
would be renewed for one year.
A spokesman for the CCC said
union bricklayers, plasterers and
fathers have signed new con-
tracts in recent weeks which do
not include wage increases.
The CCC spokesman also re-
ported that a contract covering
nearly 5000 laborers also will
expire Saturday and no sign of
settlement in negotiations has
been indicated.

BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG

Police and prosecutors were
getting together today to figure
out a way to keep minor family
squabbles out of court and off
the city's serious crime records.
Lending impetus to the con-
certed attack on the problem
was the latest issue of the FBI's
Uniform Crime Reports.
This showed that Washington
is second only to New York in
it's total of aggravated assaults.
A total of 4,658 aggravated as
saults was reported in Washing
ton during 1854.
BY the definition appearing in
Uniform Crime Reports, ag-
gravated assault includes assault
with intent to kill, assault by
shooting, cutting. stabbing.
manning, poisoning, scalding or
by the use of acids.
But Police Chief Robert v.
Murray cited a recent case in
which police charged a 13-year-
old boy with aggravated assault
because he tossed an empty beer
can at another boy-and missed.
United States Attorney Leo A..
Rover had some classic examples.
too. He said court records show
hambones are a popular dan
gerous weapon" So, he said,
are flower pots.
Chief Murray is concerned be-
cause, every year. the city an
nually gets a black eye in the
crime picture when the aggra-
waited assault figures appear.
Mr.. Rover doesn't like the
record his Office is getting for
dropped cases.
Police figures show that of
1929 cases of aggravated assault
last year. only 100 ever reached
the grand jury on that charge
despite the fact that aggravated
assault is a felony.
OF that remainder, according
to these figures. the charge was
changed mostly to simple assault
in 666 cases, 80 are pending, 379
were dismissed, 597 were dropped,
no papers were issued in 1910

The Senate District Commit

port today on the Washington

lowing preamble to the measure
dealing with the Federal pay

That subject to the retention
by Congress Of the ultimate leg
islative authority over the Ma
TONS capital which is granted
by the Constitution it is the in
tent of Congress to restore to
the inhabitants of the District
of Columbia the powers of local
self-government which are a
basic privilege of all American
citizens;
Elective Process
ITO affirm through such &C
ton the confidence of the Amer
lean people in the strengthened
validity of principles of local
self-government by the elective
process;
ITO promote among the in
habitants of the District the
sense of responsibility for the
development and well-being of
their community which will re-
suit from the enjoyment of such
powers of self-government;
ITO provide for more effective
participation in the development
of the District and in the solu-
ton of its local problems by
those persons who are most
closely concerned;
And to relieve the national
legislature of the burden of
legislating upon purely local Dis
trict matters.
Exercise Authority

Congress to exercise its retained
ultimate legislative authority
over the District only insofar as
such action shall be necessary or
desirable in the interests of the

Morse Proposes
Inquiry Into D. c.
Welfare Program

Senator Morse, Democrat, Of
Oregon, today proposed that an
inquiry be made into the Dis
trict's welfare program.
He said he knew that welfare
officials wanted to do good Jobs
but that it was a question Of
funds.
THE dollar amount OF relief
granted here is not up to that
in the States, Senator Morse pro-
tested. He said he had been
told some startling things"
about the relief program In the
District. There was a chance to
make the District a sort Of pilot
plant" as to a welfare program.
ne went on. He said he did not
mean extravaganza" but that
there were things that should
be done here that were not be-
ing done. for lack Of funds.

the restoration of the powers of
local self government to the in
habitants of the District by this
act will in no way change the
need which arises from the
unique character of the District
as the Nations Capital, for the
payment by the Federal Govern
ment of a share of the expenses
of the District Government; and
it is intended that such restora-
ton shall affect neither the con-
tinuance Of the established policy
Of paying such a share nor the
amount thereof"
