A long-brewing legal debate
between the legal aides of the

policy regarding diSmissals.
! OU-Ddy NOtiCc NItCu
The dispute grows out of the
departments unique status un-
der the jurisdiction of both the
Civil Service Commission and
the District Commissioners. Al
issue is the Veterans Preference
Act of 1914, which requires thai
veterans employed under civil
service regulations must be
given at least 80 days advance
notice before dismissal.
Commissioners aides were
reluctant to discuss the deputy
chiefs proposal but conceded
the request has been routed tx
the corporation counSel's offict
for legal study.
One of the two policemen
involved in the new dismissa
policy submitted his resigna
ton last week. But this wa
weeks after a Civil Servic
Commission ruling had nullifie,
a dismissal notice dated las
April 27. The csc held tina
the Commissioners final notice
which had followed by NOR
than 80 days an advance notice
was invalid because it had no
been delivered to the policemal
until April %.
In that case, a police tria
board had recommended dis
missal in connection witt
charges that last October h
had improperly advised a WON
an involved in traffic acciden
that she could file a civil actiol
and had supplied her with tn
name of an attorney.
In the second case, a fiftl

with conduct unbecoming a po

permitting himself to be photo

Police officials admit that,
had the policeman been sus-
pended on tentative" basis
at the time trial board charges
were brought against him last
spring, he probably would not
be on duty today. II that

The
Rambler
Looks Into
Cost of LIVING
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

The other day, the Bureau
OF Labor Statistics of the De-
partment of Labor an
nounced that the Consumer
Price Index for June had in
creased to 1868. This was
two-tenths of l per cent over
the May high.
1t meant that despite the
truly heroic efforts of the
Eisenhower Administration
in resisting imitation, a wage
Garner or a clerical worker
living in American cities will,
on the average, have to pay
at the rate of $1.26 to pur-
chase the accumulation of
things necessary for himself
and his family which in l948
he purchased for 81.
Price increases for food
chiefly fresh fruits and pork
accounted for most of the
RISE" the BIS release said.
This led the Rambler to call
on the BIS. He did not ask
what he would have to spend
today to equal his 1910 dollar,
although the information
was available. That might
make him dissatisfied with
his own economy - a dis
satisfaction which would only
be another, however minor,
inf1ationary pressure.
He met Wilbur thinner
man, head of the food Sec
ton, and Maynard Helms, a
veteran statistician in this
field.
Evening star., 1960-07-27

"AS YOU KNOW" said Mr..
Helms, this report was popu-
larly known as the Cost of
Living Index. I am afraid the
BIS once went along with
that. q
Such a comprehensive
title made the limitations of
the index the more obvious.
1t gave statisticians horrors.
So the name was changed to
Consumer Price Index.
This somewhat relieved
the StatiSticians, but they
still insist the complete name
should be Index of Change
in Prices of Goods and Serv-
ices Purchased by City Wage
Garner and Clerical Worker
Families to Maintain Their
Level of Living"
The Rambler realized he
would have to be very accu-
rate in reporting this meet
ing. This was no place to
kick ideas around. He began
to take meticulous notes.
What about your report
that the increase in the In
deX-let's just call it that
for short-was largely due to
fresh fruits and pork?" he
asked.
Mr.. Zimmerman took over.
Here are some unpublished
figures" he said.
Our shoppers found that
in June fresh fruits had in
creased in price over May to
this extent:
Apples were up 1875 per
cent.
Bananas were up As per
cent.
Oranges were up 4.9 per
cent.
Lemons were down 1.8 per
cent.
And grapefruit was up 10.
per cent.
You see as midsummer
approaches. apples are in
short supply. They are apples
from the preceding fall. And
midsummer is not the most
productive season for citrus
fruits, other than lemons,
whether they are grown in
Florida, Texas or California.

New System Urged
For DC. Renewal
PIun Proposes
initiative for
City Heads

A new approach to redevel-
oping Washington was recon-
mended to the District Com
missioners today.
A primary result of the new
approach would be to give the
District Commissioners more
initiative in the cfty's urban
renewal program.
The recommendation for this
policy change came from Col.
T. K. Fullerton, Assistant En-
gineer Commissioner in charge
of the Districts Office of Ur-
ban Renewal. District En-
gineer Commissioner A. c.
yelling released the text Of
the recommendation today and
said he would forward it to his
colleagues on the board for
their consideration.
Whole City Involved
Specifically, Col. Fullerton
recommended that the District
apply for Federal money under
the Urban Renewal Admins
tration's community renewal
program to plan the redevelop-
ment of the city as a whole, in
stead of doing it on a piecemeal
basis.
The first step, according to
Col. Fullerton, would be to de-
velop a body of facts on the
needs and resources of Wash
ington so the practicality of
urban renewal proposals could
be measured better. The facts
to be developed would include
District revenue, housing avail
able for people later to be dis
placed and future highway
plans for the area under con-
Sideration.
AS it is now, the District
Commissioners pass on urban
renewal projects initiated by
such agencies as the Redevelop-
ment Land Agency. The only
overall plan on hand is one sub
mitted in 1855 by Rouse g.
Keats entitled mo Slums in
Ten Years"
Urges Master Plan
After the statistics were put
together, Col. Fullerton recon-
mended the drafting of q
master plan to show in a gen.
eral way how Washington
should be developed over the
next 20 to Is years. Col. Full
lerton sees this overall plan
as giving the city "a sense of
direction" in its redevelopment
efforts. 1T would assist us in
making sure we do not over
extend ourselves" he said.
If the Commissioners adopt
Col. Fullerton's recommended
ton, the District will apply for
the Federal planning funds.
However. Col. Fullerton said
the work itself could not start
before next July.
He envisioned a project di-
rector and additional personnel
working in the District Building
to carry out this plan. Col.
Fullerton emphasized that the
work would be done in CO.
operation with the National
Capitol Planning Commission
and the Redevelopment Land
Agency, two agencies now do
ing much of the urban renewal
planning for Washington.
The recommendation comes
amid widespread speculation on
what will happen in the Senate
to the House-passed Rabaut
bill to alter urban renewal
procedures in the District. One
professed aim of the bill is to
center more urban renewal re-
sponsibility with the District
Commissioners. Col. Fullerton S
recommendation would do this
by charging the Commissioners
to come up with a master plan
for the Washington of the
future.
