Board of Commissioners, D. c

GACCI pIS lIOI1L WNS- v AZ
terview of D. c. government
officials by BrySon Rash, tele-
vised on Sunday, February IL,
1861, at $3.50 pm.
The topics discussed in the
two or three minutes preced-
ing the questioned subject
matter were as follows:
Commissioner Mclaughlin
was questioned by Mr.. Rash
regarding public assistance
and illegitimacy in the Dis
trict Of Columbia. The ques-
ton of the crime rate was
brought up. and Schuyler
Lowe answered that the
crime rate had gone up al
most steadily for the past
three years. Mr.. Herman was
questioned regarding the cost
of crime and juvenile delin-
quency and answered that
the cost was $35 million,
which covered all types OF
CRIME. Commissioner Nc
Laughlin stated that it is felt
that If all the beats are
manned the curve will be
turned downward. He brought
out the fact that for five or
six years the District had less
crime each month and then
each year, when suddenly
the crime rate rose and con-
tinued the upward trend. He
pointed out that, during this
period, difficulty had been
experienced in recruiting be-
cause there had been high
employment throughout the
country. He added that he
had just had a report from
the Chief of Police that the
District is now able to recruit
up to its limit because of con-
siderable unem ploym e n t
throughout the country. He
said that the District will
still be 20 per cent or more
under the number Of police

the exchange which I had
with certain members of the
District of Columbia Com
mittee of the House of Rep
resentativeS in connection
with a general hearing held
by that Committee on Febru-
ary 27. This exchange was
based upon the contents OF
an article in The Evening
Star under date of February
13. 1861. reporting televi-
sion appearance in which !
participated with two other
District officials and Bryson
Rash.
In the course Of the Ques-

above Committee, I agreed TO
call to the attention of The
Star any inaccuracies in the
article and, although I have
been advised that the audio

DR.. Buchanan, who served as

last August 7. He was 80.
The movement centers on the
