Special Pickpocket Unit
To Protect D. c. Crowds

Out-of-town pickpockets in
discreet enough to ply their
trade in Washington during the
Inauguration are likely to find
themselves face to face with
detectives who know them from
way back.
That's the No. l qualification
for out-of-town plainclothesmen
hired for the occasion. Metro
politan Police Chief Robert v.
Murray said today.
Every four years about 100
pickpocket experts come to
Washington to mingle with the
crowds and forestall attempts
at criminal sleight of hand
not because there aren't
enough local policemen. but be-
cause out of towners are likely
to recognize chronic offenders
from their own bailiwicks.
This years selection of visit
ing officers is complete. and
Chief Murray was to make his
report to the inaugural commit
tee at 3 pm. today.
Applicants Aplenty
More than TOO applications
have been received for the 100
jobs available, Chief Murray
said. adding a fervent hope that
the flood of requests will stop
now.
Unlike the 1853 inaugural,
when no formal call for volun-

U. S. and District
Discuss Final Steps

Federal and District officials
met today to discuss final &C.
tion-expected within the next
several days-to get Southwest
Washington's big 442-acre Area
&c redevelopment project under
way.
The critical step to be taken
is ALLEGATION by the Housing and
Home Finance Agency of an $50
million Federal loan to carry out
the project and official reser-
walton of a S26 million Federal
grant to help repay the loan.
HHFA's plan for announcing
the final ALLEGATION to the Dis
trict Redevelopment Land Agen-
cy presumably were discussed
in detail at today's closed-door
meeting with the District Com
missionerS. Afterwards, officials
refused to divulge the plans but
it was understood that the allo-
cation is to be made within the
next few days.
Land Acquisition
officials attending the meeting
included Richard Steiner, HHFA
urban renewal administrator
Public Buildings Administrator
F. Morgan McConihe, RIA Off
Gals and George A. Garrett. civic
leader who served as President
Eisenhower's expediter on the
Southwest program.
! Another of the specific mat
tiers presumably discussed was
acquisition of land in the South
west area for three large Federal
Office building projects to be
built under the Federal lease
purchase program.
The projects costs will be
$l6.2 million, $12.1 million and
$40.9 million. 1t was understood
that condemnation proceedings
against about So million worth
of land for the projects will be
filed soon by the RIA after the
redevelopment funds become
available.
II Conditions Established
AS soon as HHFA announces
it's loan ALLEGATION for the prof.
ect. both the District Commits
sioners and the RIA must ex-
ecute a technical contract to re-
ceive the funds. Then RIA can
begin drawing the money.
Several weeks ago, HHFA
tentatively approved the big
Southwest project. but estab-
lished II conditions which had
to be met before it would gel
around to the stage of allocatine
money.
The RIA submitted to the
Federal agency data on the last
OF the II conditions last Friday
paving the way for final APP
proval. Today's session of al
agencies involved was called tc
