caused by two collisions within 10
minutes at the highways Ridge
road intersection.
Arlington County police re-
ported the first tie-up occurred
when an AB&W bus loaded with
city workers was involved in a
sideswipe collision with an auto
at Z am. on the Ridge road ramp
leading to Shirley highway.
Police listed the bus driver as
Francis P. Foley. 33. of 7l9 South
Adams street. Arlington. and the
auto driver as Carl c. Shank. 80.
of 1906 Edison street, Alexandra
A few minutes later, $50 feet

and compounded the confusion.
Robert d. Meder. 80, of Spring

first car in the triple collision.
His wife, Linda. 81. was treated
for leg injury at Arlington

Co. Through difficulty in copy
ing the material he said he
finally met a Russian agent
known to him as Paul Smith. of
the Amtorg Trading Corp. who
arranged to have it photo
copied.
Step by step, Gold said, this
led to his climactic meeting in

epidemic broke out among San

matter among primitive people
with no acquired resistance tc
the common childhood disease
Several San Bias children died
The Indians quite accurately
attributed the outbreak to thu
soldiers. But since they have
no concept of germs, they blamed
the misfortune on malevolent
magic. The standard way O.
coping with such bad medicine
is to appease the cosmic boss

evil spirits in question.
Carve Statue of General
Obviously, when America,
soldiers brought measles to tn,
island. the indicated procedure
was to appeal to the cosmit
American soldier. The Indians
found some photographs Of Gen
Macarthur and carved a likeness
out of the light balsa wood il
which they are expert workmen
Then the big image was painted
- appropriately as the Indians
believed. The general is repre-
scented as wearing green over

His blouse is blue with two pinl

His nose is three inches long

Police Breakdown Set
On Teen-Age Gangs
MurroyCoIIs
For Arrest of
More Youths
BY J. THEODORE CROWN

Police Chief Robert v. Muir
ray today ordered a departments
wide breakdown on juvenile crime
by directing disorderly conduct
arrests for those gathered in I'M
ruly crowds.
BY invoking the disorderly con-
duct statute, Chief Murray gave
new teeth TO law-enforcers who
have been hard-presSed to cope
with increasing juvenile crime.
Police who have felt ham,
strung in obtaining convictions
on an individual basis were in
structed to haul in teen-agerS
who cannot explain why they
are congregating in gangs. in
public places or rowing the
Istreets-their conduct ranging
all the way from loud and
boisterous language to the COM
mission of serious criminal Of
lenses"
The maximum penalty for dis
orderly conduct is a $3.50 fine,
or imprisonment for 80 days. or
both.
Toughest Edict Yet
Maj. Murray's order signifi-
cantly was directed to the entire
police force. not the hard pressed
juvenile squad alone. 1t was the
toughest yet issued relative to
the juvenile problem.
1t laid down rigid rules under
which information will be OBJ
tanned on every juvenile in an
unruly crowd unable to explain
his actions. This information
will be kept in a file as a check
on suspects.
Inspector John E. Winters,
head of the Youth Aid Division,
agreed there was a need for
coping with the juvenile group
problem. He said the weakness
of making an individual case in
a disorderly crowd was not
known to police alone.
j The kids know it, too" he
said. "They know that in the
final analysis about all we can
do is inconvenience them and
they act accordingly"
Under the new directive. pc
lice will have a much better
chance at obtaining convictions
in Juvenile Court. Presently, it
is almost impossible in many in
stances to make a case. The
Juvenile Squad. which handles
thousands of cases. must be able
to recite chapter and verse on
the specific offense of each de-
PENDANT. They find it partic-
ularly difficult to make this stick.
Can Book Entire Gang
However, it now will be posi-
BILE for police to arrest and book
an entire unruly crowd. Mai.
r Murray recited in his directive
the provisions of section 90
ll07 of the District Code, deal
ing with disorderly conduct.

At the Senate hearing, rep

groups in all parts of the city

in support of the larger force.
The only opposition voice at this
hearing came from Commission
er Robert E. Mclaughlin.
2,278 Authorized Strength
The authorized strength of
the department at present Is
2,278 men. That force has not
been maintained. however, be-
cause appropriations have not
been large enough to pay that
many salaries and still take care
of fringe expenses.
The House Appropriations
Committee added 100000 to the
regular District budget for the
next fiscal year to make up some
of the difference between 2,239
and 2,278. 1t was estimated that
it would take $174,000 to cover
the gap completely. The Senate
Appropriations Committee has
not yet held hearings on the
regular budget.
District officials explained that
when the supplemental budget
request is considered, the actua
amount will depend on how
much the appropriations com
mittees allow police in the regu'
lar budget. But the total. i
