US. Protests Road Blocks Within Russia

WASHINGTON, R-The Unit ed States today protested to Rus sia that road blocks and other forms of police action" are re- stricting the travel of Americans inside Russia.
 A formal note of protest was handed the Soviet Foreign Min istry by the American Embassy in Moscow. It was made public in Washington.
 The note complained that, in practice, the Soviet government restriits Amerisan travel beyond the rules Moscow has proclaimed publicly.
 This contrasts, the note said, with a situation in the United States where the American gov ernment 'has never interposed obstacles to the free use of travel facilities by Soviet personnel in the United States"
 The note inquired what steps the Russians would take to make practice conform with the rules laid down in June and November 1853.
 The American note complained:
 When members of this CU.SD embassy have visited open Soviet cities in open areas, they have frequently been prevented by road blocks and other forms of police action from moving freely about the city or to its envorons when these environs are in open areas beyond the city limits"

Flier's Body Crashes Into Room
 After Small Plane Falls Apart

PORTLAND, Ore, Rt-A flier's body crashed into a Portland iv- mgroom yesterday, seconds after small airplane inexplicably fell apart over a residential section.
 "We were sitting there working a crossword puzzle, when sudden ly it sounded like the house was blowing up. My daughter screamed and we looked around behind US, and there was the body on the floor, only five feet from us" said Fred G. Thomson, 35, owner of the house.
 The dead flier was Willis Allen Wood, 21, Salem, Ore, whose light plane disintegrated over southeast Portland in late after noon. The pieces of wreckage caused no serious damage.
 Wood, an Oregon State College senior, either was thrown from the plane when it began coming apart, or he jumped, rather than ride the wingless plane down. He

Monster" Mistake

The old friends reached another parting today. Eisenhower would stay on his farm thru dinnertime. Montgomery, now deputy com mander of NATO forces in Eu- rope, was due back in Washington for conferences at the Pentagon.
 In sum, Eisenhower and Mont gomery agreed both sides could have used their cavalry more ef- fectively, that southern forces should have tried an end run around the north's left flank, and that the charge of Gen. George Packett's brigade into the muzzles of Yankee cannon was grave mistake. Montgomery called that charge "monstrous."
 Voice of Protest
 From the south came at least one indignant protest and de- fense, not only of Lee but-some- what surprisingly-of Meade too.
 Mrs. John l.. Harper of Atlanta said the Eisenhower-Montg agreement that the two generals should have been sacked" was very uncouth statement"
 Mrs. Harper has been decorat- ing the graves of Confederate dead for more than 90 years.
 In Hickory, NC, Bell I. Wiley, an Emory University historian and author, said: "If you fired them, who would you replace them with? Lee was Lee, and Meade, at the time, seemed to be the best man for the job.

Billy Mitchell May Get Name Cleared By Air Force

WASHINGTON, ,R-Billy Mitch ell's name may yet be cleared by the separate Air Force on be- half of which the Army convicted him of insubordination.
 The Air Force announced last night that the former Army briga- dier general, who died 21 years ago, will be given a retrial this week of the charges against him.
 The closed hearing will be be- fore the Air Force Board for cor rection of military records. The boards recommendation would go to Secretary of the Air Force James H. Douglas, who would have authority, if he chose, to toss out the court martial conviction returned by nine Army generals in 1925.
 After serving as Air Force commander during World War I, Mitchell spoke out sharply, and publicly, in the postwar years, charging incompetency and inef- ficiency in the Army and Navy air services. Among other things he called for separate air force, which was established after World War IT.

Murray Urges
Better Pension
Setup for Police

Police Chief Robert v. Murray
appealed last night to citizens
of Washington for help in get
ting improved retirement bene-
fits for policemen.
Chief Murray told the Federa-
tion Of Citizens Associations he
is not concerned with increased
salaries. The departments prob
lem lies. he said. in retaining
present experienced officers who
are leaving for jobs with better
retirement features.
He qnoted figures to illustrate
the alarming rate at which men
are leaving the police force. He
said 80 men, with from one to
is years of experience, have re-
signed since the first of the year
1.-The heaviest rate since 1928.
The present retirement system
of the Police Department, en-
acted 40 years ago. provides an
officer with about so per cent
OF his base salary. For an av-
erage H5-year man. for example,
this would be in the neighbor-
hood Of $4,000 a year.
Cites Drop in Crime
Operating with q police force
more than 200 short of q called
for $500 minimum. Chief Mur-
ray said crime has dropped to its
lowest ratio since 1948. He said
this is largely the result Of offi-
GERS working six days a week.
However" the Police Depart
lnent head said. ian absolute
minimum force Of $500 is needed
to enfore Law properly" He
called for return Of q $10l 900
cut in the departments budget
and said the present budget win
not allow for expansion beyond a
number less than 2,4O0.
Chief Murray declared this
city has many needs for police
men that are not to be found in
other cities. These include po-
licemen to watch over the null
titude of visitors. thousands Of
pickets and numerous diplomats
who annually come to WASH
ington.
Federation Acts
In its business session, the
Federation:
1. Indorsed a pending bill for
more liberal retirement and dis
ability benefits for policemen and
firemen.
2. Asked that the present
garnishment law be changed so
not more than 10 per cent of
an employees salary can be at
tached by creditors. The feder-
alton said this should break up
. lot Of "deep-in-debt" credit.
because creditors having to wait
their turn would not be as loose

3. Asked that the soon-to-
expire Hospital Center Act be-
extended so Southeast Wash.

when a proposed hospital is built
there.
This act provides for the Dis
trict and Federal governments
