Sees Big Blow to Morale
Chief Murray said he had also

men from one precinct had APP
piled for jobs with a utility COM
pany here.
BY dint Of intensive recruiting,
the force has reached $500
still 200 below the authorized
strength.
I'VE have been losing expert
Ienced men as fast as we can re-
cruit trainees. "Chief Murray
said. Right now we can't COM
pete with the Federal Govern
iment or private industry.
IF the bill doesn't go through.
it will be the greatest blow to
morale since ! have been chief.
When morale is low. efficiency is
low and the crime rate goes up.
That is proven statistically.
AT the time morale was at its
lowest point-April 1852, when
the force was being investigated
by a Senate committee-crime
reached its second highest point
here in history"

Referring to the argument adj

declared:
"The duties and hazards OF

with that Of the average civil

weeks out of every three. Every

faces countless hazards. During

By The Associated Press

Secretary Of State Dulles and

Mr.. Stassen, due back in

And what is Prince Charles,
8-year-old heir to the throne,

The Prince is learning from
poppa-Prince Philip-how to

Just a nipper of a lad. is Prince
Charles. but he bowls around
the roads on the royal estate of
Sandrigham.
The car has an automatic
gear. So all Prince Charles has
to do is step on the gas and steer
and put on the brakes.
Still. it must be pretty nerve
wracking for poppa. But maybe
it helps Prince Philip keep his
mind of those royal clothing
bills.

New tests of tactical-size
atomic bombs are being con-
sidered for the next series of
experiments at the Govern
ment's Nevada proving ground.
These tests. if they develop.
may include the first drop of
a nuclear weapon from a faster
than-sound jet fighter-bomber.
This report seemed to be in
line with a statement made by
President Eisenhower in his
budget message last Wednesday.
He told Congress that in nuclear
armament emphasis will be
placed on weapons for tactical
purposes with reduced radio
active fallout."
The Atomic Energy Commits
sion up to now has made no
official announcement of plans
for any new series Of tests at
its Nevada proving grounds
near Las Vegas.
Preparations Reported
However. there have been re-
ports that preparations were
underway for a series in the
spring involving smaller weapon
designs in the kiloton Chou
sands Of tons) force range.
There also had been some
speculation that Mr.. Eisenhower
might call of tests of the
smaller weapons in the CONT
mental United States, as well as
any big H-bomb experiments in
the Pacific, pending further eff
forts toward a world nuclear
disarmament agreement.
But the President appeared to
Scotch this idea in his budget
message. He said that until an
agreement for limitation of
ornaments is negotiated and an
effective inspection system is
functioning. this Nation will con-
tinue to increase the number
and variety of nuclear weapons. Z"
Then he mentioned that empha-

sis will be placed on weapons for
tactical purposes.
Big Bombs Dropped
The Air Force and the Acc al
ready have demonstrated pub
licly, on several occasions, the
ability to drop nuclear bombs
from big bombers. In the test
series at the Marshall Islands
proving grounds last spring, a
B52 heavy jet bomber made the
first American drop of an
H-bomb.
However, the Government
neither has conducted an open
shot" attended by public repre-
sentatives, nor indicated other
wise that it actually has at
tempted dropping a smaller,
tactical-sized atom bomb from
a light jet fighter-bomber.
For the use of tactical weapons
against enemy troops and ship
ping. high speed is desirable. In
using bombs to support 'front.'
line ground troops. or to strike
at troop or supply concentrations
just behind an enemy line, planes
must dart into often heavily de-
Tended areas, release their bombs
and escape.

by short-term treatment:

Cases Present Difficulties
A 45-year-old man has been
in the hospital 20 times since
1948. He has been at ST. Fliz-
abeths Hospital several times
but never stays long because his
mental illness is basically alco-
holism and he RECEIVERS quickly
when he gets off drink.
A 32-year-old man has been
in the hospital eight times since
he got to Washington in 1852.
The last time he tried to get into
the hospital. the admitting Office
thought he was exaggerating the
extent Of his illness and. after
offering to give him something
to make him sleep. told him to
go home. At the door, he fell to
the floor. screamed that he saw

hitting doctor: Nov, you're 60

It is hoped that the legislation
and facilities-possibly at Glenn
Dale Sanatorium-will become
available to provide long-term
commitment for chronic alco-
holics beyond the reach Of psy-
chiatric treatment and rehabili-
tation.
For the narcotics addicts-In
their acute stage and while they
are being examined for the court,
they would stay in the new build
ing. Then. instead of going to
the Federal Narcotics Hospital in
Lexington, KY. under legislation
which expires in June, 1858, they
would go to one Of the old build
ings for rehabilitation. In the
pending budget. $50. 900 has been
requested to equip one of the old
buildings for the addicts but no
staff was requested.
Another of the old buildings
would be used by the hospital as
a whole for physical and voca-
tional rehabilitation.
Restoring Of the old buildings
is expected to cost $722,000.
DR.. Schultz said that if such
a plan is carried out, and enough
staff is provided. the District
could save money by devoting
the professional staff to those
most amenable to short-term
treatment.
He gave this estimate Of who
can and cannot be treated among
the alcoholics: About 80 per
cent are chronic alcoholics who
make frequent appearances at
the hospital. About 20 per cent
are attending the Alcoholic Re-
