Policy
Is Questioned

A member of the House Dis
trict Appropriations Subcom-
mittee has suggested the Dis
trict highway department may
be paying more than Is neces-
sary to engineering consultants
IA service that has cost nearly
SO million in six years.
Harold L. Aitken, District
highway director, defended his
practices in hiring consultants
to design major road projects
when questioned on the matter
at recent subcommittee hear
ings. The testimony was re-
leased today.
Representative hatcher,
Democrat Of Kentucky, brought
up the matter after Mr.. Aitken
admitted that all consultants
are hired on a negotiated basis
rather than by competitive
bids.
Mr.. Watchers reaction to the
testimony was this: "I have my
doubts that the system you are
using is the best system for
use at this particular time in
the District of Columbia"
Detailed Report Ordered
The District is now engaged
in a record setting road build
ing program.
At one point in the proceed
ings, Mr.. hatcher asked the
highway director: "How do
you know that you are not
spending thousands Of dollars
more than you should have If
you had some system Of COM
petition among those qualified
to do this particular work?"
Mr.. hatcher wasn't COM
pletely satisfied with the ex-
plantations and ordered the
highway director to turn in a
detailed statement by next
January analyzing the advan-
tageS and disadvantages of the
departments practices.
He warned that the Subcom-
mittee will want to go into fur
ther detail on the matter with
highway officials and the En-
gineer Commissioner when
budget hearings come UP again
next year.
Treated as Professionals
j One reason negotiated con-
tracts are the rule instead of
competitive bids, said Mr.
Aitken, sis related to the fact
that the engineers consider
themselves professionals" He
said they want to be treated
as professionals"
At any rate, Mr.. Aitken
added, II doubt seriously that
the Government is spending an
unreasonable amount for en-
gineering services"
He said experience helps
highway officials determine
consultants' fees and, to back
up local experience. are CON
sultant fee type curves" pre-
pared by the American Society
of Civil Engineers. Also, Mr..
Aitken said, staff engineers
make preliminary studies and
come up with estimated fee
figures.
COnsuItant Fees Since Sc
Representative Rhodes, Re-
publican of Arizona, said in his
area, there have been instances
of engineers refusing to bid
against each oCner on Cne paSlS
of professional ethics.
Mr.. Aitken said the same
thing would probably happen
here. They would say, You
don't get a competitive bid
when you go to your doctor or
your lawyer Mr.. Aitken
commented.
This, Mr.. Rhodes replied,
could be a device which the
so-called better firms use to
keep the club from becoming
too large"
The lawmakers asked Mr..
Aitken to produce a breakdown
of conSultants' cost for each
fiscal year since 1856 to the
present. The total figure was
$7,963,346. Mr.. Aitken said
fees range from $4,000 to 81
million.

Police Chief Robert v. Muir
ray made a strong plea for
more police dogs and two more
Juvenile Court judges in de-
Tending his departments re-
quest for 1922 900 to run the
police force in fiscal 1862.
The figure he asks is an in
crease of $2,775,000 over the
year that ended June 30.
TeStifying before a House
Appropriations Subcommittee,
Chief Murray said he believed
the 1862 appropriation estimate
for his force is conservative in
comparison with the need for
police services.
Hitting at lenient court SEN
tences, Chief Murray said he
knew of cases where the GRIM
.inal has gone scot free because
of some very exacting" court
decisions here that have done
terrific harm to law enforce
ment."
Sees Adverse Results
Referring specifically to the
Mallory decision, Chief Murray
told the subcommittee that he
had said in 1947 he would be
surprised if law enforcement
was not completely broken
down by the decision.
while it claw enforcement)
has not been completely broken
down, it has been very ad-
versely affected since that deci-
Sion," Chief Murray testified.
AS to Juvenile Court, Chief
Murray told the Congressman
more judges were needed be-
cause of the backlog Of cases.
IF the juvenile is not taken
into court for a matter OF
many weeks or months" said
Chief Murray, ''he is going to
commit still other crimes.
II have no opinion about
where the judges should come
from. 1t makes no difference
to me, just so they get a couple
of more judges to take care OF
the cases."
Keen About CANNES
The police chief also spoke in
favor of increasing the force OF
police dogs, saying the results
from the dogs have been very
good.

taken to task for spending
money on new programs with
out Congressional approval.
Repre- esent a tive Rabaut,
chairman of the House Sub
committee on District Appro-
priations, complained at recent
hearings that the Welfare De-
partment's Relocation Service
and the Commissioners Youth
Councils controversial Bigman
report on unwed motherhood
were launched without Hill
sanction. The transcript Of the
hearings was released today.
The Welfare Department has
asked for $35, $50 in fiscal 1862
to make permanent its reloca-
ton service for families dis
placed from their homes by
District Government action.
The District Commissioners ap-
proved the service as an ex-
pertinent in 1860. It has been
run with a staff borrowed from
the Public Assistance Division
at a cost of $17,500. The cur
rent request would double the
program.
Want to Know
After establishing that the
Commissioners had never
brought the program before the
subcommittee, Mr.. Rabaut de-
clared:
You have the camel's nose
under the tent now. I don't
say it is a good program or a
bad program. You say nothing
to us about starting it and then
double it the next year.
wouldn't it be nice if we had
known something about it?
What are we here for?"
The Congressman added, II
don't like to be kept in the
dark. Here you have $35.000 we
never heard Of at all, and all
Of a sudden it is necessary.
He declared: "It is brought to
us now to get the funds doubled.
That is not cricket"
Limited Program
Schuyler Lowe, director of
the Districts Department of
General Administration, told
the Congressman the program
to date has been a limited scale
addition" to the work Welfare
usually does.
It is only now that real
augmentation" is being rec
commended, he said, land that
is, Of course, being brought to
your committee"
AS to the Commissioners
Youth Councils Bigman report,
Mr.. Rabaut inquired, when
were the funds requested for
financing of the Bigman re-
port?"
IT do not think there was a
request for the report" Dis
trict budget officer D. P. Her
man replied.
Recently Published
Mr.. Herman said the study
cost $500. Asked what action
is to be taken on it now, Com
missioner Tobriner noted that
it has just been published.
This should have been sub
mitted to the committee before
any such study was made and
money requested for it," Mr..
Rabut declared. "The money
was spent without budget JUS
tification."
Mr.. Rabut then referred to
a newspaper article that iden-
titled the report with "volun-
tary sterilization of people,
contraceptive devices and all
that kind of thing"

BOYS; ROANOKE
SETS QUARANTINE

ROANOKE, Va, (AP).-
An animal quarantine area
of more than 40 square
blocks in mid-city Roa-
noke was set up Saturday
after two young boys were
bitten by rabid cats.
All residents of the area
were warned to confine all
animals to a small area
preferably in the house
and watch them closely.
Included in the quaran-
tined area we're four parks,
several school areas and
the entire downtown buSi-
ness district.
Ten animals were re-
ported dead through last
night in the quarantine
area. They include a cat
found dead by it's owner
Saturday and a rat which
tried to bite a man. The
man killed the rat.
Because of the expense
of testing a dead animal
for rabies, authorities have
announced that only those
which have scratched or
bitten someone will be
tested.

Two Escapes
Seized Stuffinu
Hacker in Trunk

RICHMOND, Aug. 81 (AP)
- Two Richmond policemen
captured two escapees from
Eastern State Hospital yester-
day and freed a cab driver the
inmates had kidnapped near
Williamsburg.
The patrolmen came across
the escapes in a downtown
Richmond alley as they were in
the process of stuffing the cab
driver in the trunk of his We
hicle.
The 2 inmates-one 16 and
the other III had escaped
from the hospital at Williams
burg shortly after midnight
Saturday.
One of the escapes had been
committed from Fairfax and
the other from Norfolk.
They had stopped in a
courtyard off an alley when
they were surprised by the two
patrolmen.
Police said the youths told
the cabbie they were going to
leave him in the trunk and
catch a bus out of town.

sidered the failures, but the
percentage is low.
But the record of successes
the jobs found, the men kept
out of Jail, the tax savings, the
salvaged lives-while impress
sive, is the result of an uphill
fight.
In 1857, the Commissioners
Committee on Prisons Proba-
ton and Parole recommended
20 additional probation officers
at Municipal Court, more cleri-
cal help and better facilities.
Since then, one supervisor,
four probation officers and two
stenographers have been added
to the staff.
But. said Robert R. EStep,
assistant probation director,
probation officers still carry
almost 80 cases each. This is
roughly double recommended
national standards, he said.
A lack of stenographers, ac-
cording to an annual report
released this month, requires
probation officers to spend up
to so per cent of their time on
clerical details.
Requested for fiscal 1862 in
this months annual report
were two more Stenographers
and two additional probation
officers. More space at Munich
