Ticket Plan
Is Rejected

Congress has rejected q Dis
trict request for $4,000 to
hire civilian employees to hand
out parking tickets.
The item was eliminated by
House-Senate conferees from a
national supplemental appro-
priation bill passed by Congress
and sent to the White House.
Commissioner Robert E. Nc
Laughlin said he has not yet
discussed the congressional &C.
ton with the other two Com
missioners. Apparently a de-
cision will have to be made as
to whether funds for the plan
viii be requested for the fiscal
year beginning July /.
Under the Commissioners
proposal, 26 civilian workers
would have been hired October
II to take over the parking vio-
llation enforcement duties Of
Is police motorcycle officers.
The motorcycle men, whose
salaries are paid from Motor
Vehicle Parking Agency funds
would have been transferred tc
foot patrol work.
The $4,000 item would have
been used for the salaries of the
new foot patrolmen for the bal
ance of the fiscal year. This
would have meant that parking
agency funds would have beer
available to pay the civilian
workers during the balance Of
the fiscal period.

Faulty Sprinkler
Blamed for Fire
Call to Hospital

Five Montgomery County fire
departments were called out
shortly before dawn today for
what turned out to be a false
alarm at the Walter Reed Hos
pital Annex at Forest Glen,
Md.
"A box alarm was sounded at
4:52 am. after the guard hut
at the hospital annex got q
signal that the automatic water
sprinkler system had started
operating in the main building.
The sprinkler system turned
out to be faulty, the county
fire control center reported.
BY that time, however. three
companies of the Silver Spring
Volunteer Fire Department
and one each from Kensington
and Chevy Chase already had
been dispatched.
The building where the
sprinkler was set of is used
mostly for offices. not for pa
tients or hospital personnel.

Bid for More Police
Planned by District
City Officials
Act to Curb
Street Attacks

The District Commissioners
are preparing a request for a
larger police force and more
money to put patrolmen on the
streets.
The bid for both authoriza-
ton and appropriations is ex-
pected to reach Congress early
next session. {
Senate District Committee
Chairman Bible, Democrat Of
Nevada, said today he had con.
ferred with Robert e. McLaugh-
lin, president of the Board of
Commissioners, about the police
problem posed by a recent wave
of assaults, yokings and purse
snatchings.
Il can see a need for addi-
tional manpower," Senator
Bible said. "And believe Con-
gress viii go along"
Key Figure
Senator Bible is bound to be
a key figure in steering such a
proposal through Congress. In
addition to heading the Dis
trict's Legislative Committee,
he belongs to the Senate Ap-
preparations Committee, which
would handle the money re-
quest.
Present authorized strength
of the force is 2,508. Now in
uniform and drawing pay are
2,487 officers. But IL officers
are on military leave and nine
other vacancies are due to be
filled as soon as papers can be
processed.

Refers to Violence

violence on Washington streets

Many officials on the pro-
posed new exemption list pay
little or no District tax because
the law allows them credit for
any income taxes paid in their
home States and some live In

House Majority Leader Nc
Cormack sponsored the bill ap-
proved by the House. At a
May hearing he called the
omission of some presidentially
named, Senate-conflrmed APP
pointees from the present ex-
empt list an injustice to the
officials involved. since others
are exempted. He termed the
impact of the longer exemp-
ton list, on District revenue in
significant.
A number Of the officials in

they are residents here only
