Relief Rolls
Spira|ing, Shea
Says in House
10000 Estimate
Is Exceeded in
Steady Climb

Spiraling relief rolls already
have gone beyond the antic-
pated average of 10000 upon
which the District Welfare De-
partment based its budget re-
quests for the next fiscal year.
according to Welfare Director
Gerard M. Shea.
Mr.. Shea said that as Of
February %. there were l0.941
public assistance cases on the
rolls. involving 24,360 persons,
1881 of them children.
Testimony released today
and taken last month by the
District House Appropriations
Subcommittee prompted Rep
resentative Rhodes, Repubh .
can Of Arizona. to ask If the
sharp rise in the public assist
ance caseload between last
July and December was a sea-
sonal one.
Mr.. Shea said the rise-from
10,043 cases to 10,704-was
simply part Of an increase that
has been virtually uninter-
rupted for many years"
Said Representative Rhodes,
you have quoted some figures
which are absolutely appalling
1t appears that this activity is
not just expanding. 1t is ex-
ploding."
Mr.. Shea said the cost from
July to December. including
District and Federal payments,
rose from $8l4,l46 to $1,000.
sos. He said he saw no hope
for any reduction in the fore
seeable future"
He is asking for an increase
Of $4,000 in public assistance
and a total department in
crease of 81 ,566.000 for oper-
ating expenses. bringing the
total to $l7,292.000.

The
Rambler
Meets
The Cundidute
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Agnes Waters. the one
woman candidate for Presi-
dent Of the United States,
has moved her campaign
Headquarters from 28iO
to 2423 Pennsylvania avenue
NV.
In this one move she has
left Georgetown, crossed
Rock Creek, invaded Wash
ington and advanced four
blocks toward the White
House.
The Rambler stopped by
there yesterday and was dis
appointed to be unable to
raise anyone. His knocks
went UNDECIDED. It is a real
estate Office above a Chinese
laundry at the northeast
corner of Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and Twenty-fifth street.
There was no doubt about
his having arrived at the
right address. In one window
was her real estate license
in a large frame; in another
a campaign poster with the
slogan Write my name on
every ballot"
He was told that she was
probably busy fixing up her
new home on the west side
of Twenty-sixth street Just
south Of the Avenue. He
found her name on a recently
reprinted three-story row
house in the block. A ring
OF the bell was answered by
barking so furious as to sug-
geSt that he had aroused
Cerberus. But, as it turned
out, the noise came from two
dogs, each with one head.

Mallory Ruling
Called Bar 10
Solving Crime
Districts Record
Is OFF 5 Per Cent
In 1952-58 Period

! Police statistics indicate that
a decline in solution of major
crime In the District in the
last three years may have re-
suited from the illegal-deten-
ton question raised by the NAL
lory case.
The figures we're supplied
Congress at the request of the
House District Appropriations
Subcommittee in its closed
hearings last month.
Applying to seven categories
of criminal offenses, they show
an average 5 per cent drop in
the number of case "clearances"
over the three-year period from
a peak of 55.6 per cent regis
tered in 1885. The Mallory
case was argued before the
Supreme Court early in 1856
by which time police here had
become acutely cautious about
the length of time they held
prisoners for questioning before
having them charged and ar
raigned.
In June, 1857. the high court
ruled in effect that such de-
tention for longer than seven
hours invalidates any confess
sion obtained by police from
the prisoner.
Seeks Effects
During the subcommittee
hearings. Representative San
tangelo, Democrat of New York,
observed he had heard a lot
of talk about the dire con-
SEQUENCES" of the Mallory de-
cision.
II want to find out de-
finitely whether it has ham,
strung you. hampered you or
whether you can still do a good
Job" Mr.. Santangelo said.
District Commissioner Robert
/ E. Mclaughlin had testified he
believed that perhaps more
extensive" questioning OF sIs-
poets prior to the Mallory ieci-
sion enabled police Ito check
off more solutions Of crimes
going back over the years than
lit is now doing to stay within
the decision of the court"
The statistics Incorporated
into the hearing testimony
after the session had ended
appear in the transcript with
out elaboration or analysis.
They show that over the in
elusive period l952-i958. a high
point Of SIS per cent Of
criminal cases we're cleared
in 1855. The following year the /
percentage was 5o.2. with 49.5
per cent registered in 1857 and !
81 per cent In 1858. 1
The record also shows that /
in each Of the three years prior /
to 1855, the percentage Of
cases cleared" was down to
4s.3 per cent in 1852. 46 per
cent in 1853 and 49.4 per cent
in 1854.
Questioned by Rabaut
Among other questions
raised by the committee during
the police session. Chairman
Rabaut. Democrat of Michi-
gan, wondered when the Dis
trict Redevelopment Land
Agency was "going to get on
that bicycle" and provide a site
for the long-planned relocation
OF the fourth precinct in the
Southwest redevelopment area.
( Mr.. Rabaut obviously was
! irritated over a police request
lof $4,000 to equip a new build
| ing that has gone no further
than the drafting board. al
though 100000 already has
been appropriated for site ac-
