Police Request
More Grades

Congress has been asked to
establish higher grades in the
Metropolitan Police Department S
plainclothes division which would
bring promotions to 80 men.
Police Chief Robert v. Murray,
in requesting the new positions,
told the House Appropriations
Committee that the higher grades
will create more incentive for
men TO remain in the depart
ment.
He asked for an inspector in
the Detective Bureau: five cap
tainS. one each for the check and
fraud squad. Identification Bu-
reau and sex squad. and two for
the morals division; six lieuten-
ants, one each for the fugitive,
safe, robbery, homicide and gen.
eral assignment squads, and the
Juvenile Bureau. and Il more
precinct detectives.
Chief Murray also asked that
the title probationary detective
be changed to detective" and
that separate civil service exam
nations be set up for plain
clothesmen and for uniformed
policemen.
He estimated the cost of up
grading. which does not involve
any increase in total manpower,
as $26.400 a year.
He also asked that 10 cor
Iporals' positions in the uniformed
force be upgraded to sergeant.
This would cost $4,000 year.

won al least a skirmish in its
paramount effort TO raise
achievement standards.
To do this job. the Board of
Education set out this year TO
reduce pupil-teacher ratios on
the elementary level from "a. 6
TO l. TO 81 to |. The House
Committee on Appropriations.
while apparently cutting the
systems request for 1877 ele-
mentary school teachers in half
nevertheless has allowed enough
new teaching positions to lower
the ratio 10 33 TO /.
The only cut made in the
school systems budget of $751;
100000 was $4,000 - TO be
sliced from Costs Resulting From
Improving Standards"
Besides the 1877 new teachers
school officials had also requested
Is special teachers. 6 SUPERVISING
directors. | research assistant,
psychologists, a clinical psychol-
ogist, 8 clerks and | field inspec-
tor for the penny milk program
According to school officials
ratios are not affected by special
teachers and other positions de-
signed to provide refinements OF
.enrichments in special education
Whether the cut must be made
in the 1877 new teachers or in the
special enrichments necessary To
improve standards was left in
definite by the committee.
School officials had also re-
quested rs elementary school
teachers and IL vocational high
school teachers to maintain the

They have no fear.
This is the kind of feeling men
and women the world over would
like to have--a feeling of well-being,
peace of mind and protection from
the many things which disturb their
personal lives. But l believe such a
feeling can come only from one
source. Jesus said, Come unto Me
all We that labor and are heavy laden
and l will give you rest Take My
yoke upon you and learn of Me, for
am meek and lowly in heart, and
We shall find rest unto your souls.

but he has never stopped read
ing.
He started at Interstate
Commerce Commission during
Teddy Roosevelt's first admin
istration. His early big work
out was on hearings on the
Terra Gotta wreck, when A
persons we're killed on the
BIO on December 30, 1906.
He became a court reporter
and did the trial of Edward L.
Doheny which followed the
Teapot Dome investigation.
In the summer of 1912 he was
called to the Justice Depart
ment and sworn TO maintain
lifelong secrecy on the trial
he was ABOUT TO report. 1t was
the court-martial of the eight
Nazi saboteurs landed by sub
marine He has never talked
about it TO this day.
Back in the 20s he did the
hearings held in cities across
Canada to the Pacific Coast
on the proposed st, Lawrence
Seaway. Near the end of the
war he reported the hearings
of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tons Committee that led to
formation of the United Ma
tions.
A lifelong Republican, he
did not realize that there were
many good Democrats until he
became a floor reporter in the
Senate 10 years ago. Among
those he admires on the left
side of the aisle is Senator
Fulbright of Arkansas, al

fast"
