|On Police Bill

Senator Bible, Democrat of
Nevada, said today he would hold
hearings on the House-passed
bill for a 2,500-man police force
lat the earliest possible date after
the Easter recess.
Chairman of the Fiscal Affairs
subcommittee of the Senate Dis
trict Committee, to which the
bill was assigned, Senator Bible
said the police bill would be his
subcommittee'S first order of
business. He said, as far as he
knows, there is no reason the
hearings can't be held the week
of April 8.
Sees More Needed
Asked his opinion of the pro-
posal for a 222-man increase in
force, he said the need for more
police protection was one of the
arguments he and his colleagues
used in calling for a larger Fed
eral contribution to the District
government.
| Meanwhile, citizen groups and
other organizations continued to
send resolutions for a larger po-
lice force to Police Headquarters.
Police Chief Robert v. Murray
said he had received a copy of
a resolution passed by the Dis
trict department of the Ameri-
can Legion, urging the Commis-
sioners, Congress and other in
terested parties to give full sup
port to the proposal to expand
the police force to $500 men.
Ask Fund Action
The Legion also urged that
such funds as necessary to f.
nance this force be appropriated
for fiscal 1857 so as to IDEAL with
the constantly growing demands
for police services"
A resolution also was received
from the Chevy Chase Citizens
Association declaring the present
police force inadequate and
Ifavoring enactment of the bill
to provide not less than $500
men.

gotten a resolution from the

proving the increase to $500
