cancer. He hasn't enough data

Purely as theories, he said
alcohol might make the throat

meable to tobacco smoke, OF
heavy drinking might produce
diet deficiencies making the It's

Lung cancer has been asso-

U. S. Requests
All Gulf Stutes in
TideIunds RuIino

The Government asked the
Supreme Court yesterday to in
clude all the Gulf States in its
pending determination as to the
distance of shore the States
may claim as boundaries.
The heart of the issue is the
right to exploit undersea oil re-
sources.
Under the 1853 Submerged
Lands Act. coastal States were
granted ownership of sub
merged land within their his
toric boundaries.
The United States has in
sisted that under international
law no State or nation can
have a boundary further out
tina nthe 3-mile limit.
The Governments original
complaint before the Supreme
Court concerned only Louisi-
ana, which has claimed a
greater distance than the g.
mile limit. ranging up to 1870
miles.
Yesterday in an amended
complaint, the United States
brought in Texas, Mississippi
and Florida. Alabama had been
brought into the case previ-
ously.

DC. Heads Exonerote
Police Chief Murroy

The NAACP, despite an
nouncement of the Justice De-
partment finding, renewed the
brutality charges in the recent
public hearings. The organiza-
ton charged that Chief Muir
ray failed to take disciplinary
steps toward policemen in
volved in the cases.
NAACP leaders also alleged
that the chief had condoned
discriminatory practices in the
police department toward
Negro policemen.
All this. the Commissioners
declared, the NAACP in the
series of public hearings failed
TO sustai"
The text of the statement by
Mr.. Davidson, principal witness
for the NAACP. follows:
THE decision of the District
Commissioners exonerat ing
Chief Robert v. Murray of
charges of condoning police
brutality by failure to act and
Of fostering discrimination
against Negro officers was ex-
pected. The NAACP's original
doubt that the Commissioners
could hold an impartial hear
ing because of administrative
Involvement has been justified.
To Continue Efforts
I'm its unseemly and unjudi-
cial haste to reach q decision
favorable to Chief Murray, the
Commissioners have overlooked
not only evidence but confess
sions Of the chief of police I'M
der oath (a) that he had not
supplemented the Commission
ers' order against discrimina-
ton; ID that he had defied the
Supreme Court in ordering his
officers to continue the prac-
tees outlawed by that court
and (c) that he abided by a
philosophy Of segregation II
needed for efficiency. In addi-
ton, he exhibited time and time
again naivete on the role of a
police department in the capt.
tai of democracy.
ut is further incredible and
significant that the Commits
sioners concluded that there are
no weaknesses in the police de-
partment and ignored reason
able recommendation of the
NAACP for improvements.
"Since our major objective,
undertaken as good citizens,
was to help our police depart
ment become a model in a
democratic society, we shall
continue our efforts with vigor.
We believe that eventually will
come reforms which will make
all citizens, white and colored,
proud of the efficiency of our
police department, of its pro-
lection of the civil rights of
citizens. and of its role Of max
ing Washington a true symbol
to the world of our avowed way
of life. We believe President
Eisenhower still wants removed
in the Nations Capital every
vestige of discrimination and
