Chief Murray's tight rules

obaA GbaA WAANCA
Chief Robert v. Murray has
been riding out storms ever
since he was first handed the
reins Of the city's police force.
His eight years as the head
Of the department - an ami
versary he celebrated yesterday
have been marked with con-
fiict.
He has had to contend with
q record high crime rate which
Is even now on the way up
again.
He has been charged by part
Of the community with condon-
Ing brutality and discriminating
against some Of his men. He
conducted a personal defense.
He has had to restudy-and
see that his men did the same
some Of the basic law he first
learned as a rookie. And he has
had to change the forces oper-
ationS to 1T the new patterns.
He has had to see that a
drastic social change be made
peacefully. And of this he Is
proud-that integration in the
Nations Capital took place
without series disturbance. To
achieve it he demanded vigi-
lance and understanding.
When Chief Murray took over
the force on November 81, 1851,
1t was torn with scandal and
charges Of corruption. Its fight
against crime was a losing one.
Slowly, within two years after
he became chief, the city found
itself with crime at an all-time
high.
Crime Rate Rising Again
As he enters his ninth year
as chief-only four others have
held the post longer-the Dis
trtet's crime rate is climbing
once more. His streamlined
police force has bottled this
genie before. however, and he
expects the trend to be re-
verSed again.
He can point to past per-
fotmance on this score. When
he was named to the top po-
lice post, the rate of serious
ofenses was on the increase.
In two years it had reached
the record high.
But three years later, in
1857, the District crime rate
was at a record low. Despite
the current climb, 1t is not
nov increasing as fast as in
the Nation as a whole.
Chief Murray has built what
observers say is one of the fin
est police departments in the
country. His demands have
been for more men, higher
qualifications for those who are
RECRUITED and-above all-no
tsint of corruption.
His strict approach has not
helped him win any popularity
contests with his men. But it
has won their respect.
An example of what makes
them grumble is his order, is

chief, limiting the acceptance
