HouseVoteDue
Or School Aid
Showdown
ForeSeen on
Funds Today
BY ROBERT X. WALSH

The lingering bill allotting
SIS billion in Federal grants
to States for school construc-
ton reaches the final voting
stage in the House today, its
fate doubly doubtful because
of an attempted antisegrega-
ton amendment.
With or without that pro-
posed ban on such funds for
areas refusing to integrate
schools, however, the measure
faces possible defeat because
of a determined assault by
many Republicans on its COM
promise" method of distributing
the money.
Several Republicans have
served notice they will try to
restore the Eisenhower admini-
STATIONS earlier recommended
ton for a formula based mainly
on demonstrated financial
need.
The pending bill allows up
to $500 million annually for
five years in Federal grants to
be matched by States. Half of
the funds would be distributed
on the basis of need and the
other half on the basis of school
age population, as was provided
in the original bill sponsored
by r epresen tative Kelley.
Democrat of Pennsylvania.
Cut in Funds Sought
Still other House members,
Democrats as well as Republic
cans, expect to offer an amend
ment to cut the $l.3 billion
figure and also reduce the $3.50
million that would be available
for Federal purchase of bonds
of local school districts other
wise unable to market them at
reasonable interest rates.
The overall situation in the
House shows so many individ-
ual Republicans and Democrats
opposing the bill for so many
different reasons that the
measure itself is in real danger.
The House last year defeated
the Kelley bill after adoption
Of an anti-segregation amend
ment.

Members of the jury which
tried James r. Hoffa said today
that the teamster official was
acquitted because they "just
didn't believe" the testimony of
John eye Cheasty, star Gov
eminent witness.
This disbelief was based on:
l. Misstatements and mac
curacies in Mr.. Cheasty's testi-
mony.
2. Lack of confederation by
other Government witnesses.
These facts were cleaned
from interviews with six of the
jury members last night. The
others were not available for
comment, but it was indicated
the views were shared, in es-
sence, by all. Mr.. Hoffa, Team
stem Union vice president, was

Justice Agrees
ToProbe Police
Crue|fyCharge
But Refuses to Stiff
NAACP Complaints
Of Murray Bios

The Justice Department has
agreed to investigate charges
Of police brutality leveled
against the Washington Police
Department by the National
Association for the Advance
ment Of Colored People, Com
missioner Robert z. McLaugh-
lin said today.
The Justice Department,
however, had no authority to
investigate Police Chief Robert
v. Murray, looking to his pos
sible removal from office.
Eugene Davidson, District
branch president Of the NAACP.
had demanded a public hear
ing for Chief Murray as head
of the department.
Prime Target Of NAACP.
At the request Of Chief
Murray. prime target Of the
NAACP, the Commissioners had
requested an FBI investigation
Of all charges made by the
association.
It was necessary to gain the
approval Of Warren Olney III,
assistant attorney general in
charge Of the criminal divi-
sion, before the FBI could be
authorized to enter the con-
troversy.
While acceding to the re-
quest for an investigation Of
each individual charge of police
brutality, Mr.. Olney in a letter
released by Commissioner Nc
Laughlin, declined to accede to
every point.
Racial Charge Put Aside
MIR. Olney also turned down
investigation of the phase of
NAACP charges accusing Chief
Murray of racial discrimination
In the promotion of policemen.
These charges "are not sug-
gestive Of criminality" and
thus could not be studied by
the Civil Rights section since
authority is limited to the pos
sible violation of criminal laws,
Mr.. Olney said.
He said the civil rights Sec
ton would give appropriate
study" Of the charges Of police
brutality. more than a dozen
of which were documented by
Mr.. Davidson and submitted to
the Commissioners along with
a dozen af1idavits.
It was these charges which
prompted Chief Murray to ask
the Commissioners to seek an
FBI investigation to clear the
air.
New Development in Case
Another development was
announced today in one Of the
cases Of alleged police brutal
ity cited by Mr.. Davidson.
On recommendation of Chief
Murray. Deputy Chief Robert S.
Bryant was named chairman
of a special police trial board
in the complaint Of Claude H.
Anderson, l116 Darlington ave-
nue. NE, a former policeman.
Mr.. Anderson has accused
Pvt. William w. Dankos of
hauling him from his cad and
beating him during a traffic
argument in the Fourteenth
Precinct March 80. The Civilian
Complaint Review Board had
recommended that the case be
sent to a trial board.
