Tobriner Voices
Confidence in
Chief Murray

District Commissioner Walter
N. Tobriner has no plans for
any reorganization of the Met
ropolitan Police Department.
Mr.. Tobriner, who took over
direct supervision of the police
department after his election
as president of the Board of
Commissioners, said he has
complete confidence in Police
Chief Robert V. Murray.
Speaking yesterday on the
WTOP - TV program "City
Side" Mr.. Tobriner said that
he has no plans for any shake
up in the police department.
His comments were made in
answer to a question during
the interview program.
He was asked if there was
any substance to talk that
Chief Murray might be re-
placed. Mr.. Tobriner said that
he had not even heard the
rumor.

efforts to isolate the sensitive
church-state controversy frol
the general school bill.
So far, President Kennedy's
legislative leaders say they have
had no indications of the posi-
ton the Catholic leadership
may take. The first indication
may come Tuesday, when Msgr.
F. G. Hochwalt, director of the
education department of the
National Catholic Welfare Con-
ference. appears before the
Senate Education subcommit-
tee.
Last week the administrative
board of the NCWC called for
inclusion of long-term, low
Interest loans to private and
parochial schools in the Fed
eral aid program. "In the event
that a Federal aid program is
enacted which excludes chill
dren in private schools" the
statement said, there will be
no alternative but to oppose
such discrimination"

Mr.. Hackett, that
when these boys are released

countrywide interviews that
the critical period for released
boys is the first three to six

don't get it they are most likely
to return to their old ways.
The halfway houses would

Delinquency
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG
Star staff Writer

An old school friend Of At
torney General Robert F. Ken
nedy has been touring the
country for months searching
for ways the Attorney General
can aid law enforcement and
community workers to combat
juvenile delinquency.
First tangible result of the
inquiry by David Hackett is a
modest budget request-$618,-
000-to set up four demonstra-
tion halfway houses" for
youths on their way back to
their communities from insti-
tutions, strengthen counselling
and vocational training in
Federal youth institutions and
conduct statistical studies.
Mr.. Hackett, who has known
the Attorney General since
school days at Milton Academy,
is a magazine writer who
worked on President Kennedy's
campaign. He describes him
self as "an amateur" who has
always been interested in youth
problems.
Higher Priority Planned
What Mr.. Hackett told the
Attorney General about his
talks with New York Youth
Board officials prompted Mr.
Kennedy to take a look-see for
himself. He made an unan-
nounced tour of New York's
juvenile gariglands last Sunday
and held curbstone and park
bench conversations with men,

Powell of the House Education
and Labor Committee and
Chairman Morse OF the Senate
Education Subcommittee all
have suggested that parochial
school loans be considered sep
arately from the administration
bill, which is limited to grants
to public schools.
Most of the public debate
about the bishops statement
has centered on the constitu-
tionality of the loans they seek.
But, behind the scenes, great
concern has been expressed
that the bishops may doom the
bill to defeat in the House
if they carry through their
implied threat to oppose any
measure which excludes paro-
chial schools.
At the moment, most legisla-
tors close to the education fight
see little possibility that an
amendment to provide paro-
chial school loans can be at
tached to the bill for public
school grants.
Such an amendment was
offered in both the Senate and
House last year and was
blocked.
President Backed
In the Senate, the vote
against the amendment was 40
81. Senator Morse, who offered
the amendment last year, now
says he will oppose such a rider
on the Kennedy bill. Senator
Mansfield, another backer in
1860, also has lined up behind
the Presidents opposition to
the amendment.
Senate sources predict such
an amendment, if offered, as
it probably will be, will be de-
feated by a margin of 10 to
Is votes.
Odds are against the amend
ment in the House, also. The
Education Committee last year
rejected parochial school aid
rider offered by Representative
Pucinski, Democrat of Illinois.
When he sought to propose it
again during floor debate, it
was ruled out of order as nom
germane to a bill dealing with
public school grants.
Backers of the Kennedy bill
are hopeful they can again
prevent a House floor vote on
parochial school loans. They
express some concern that Re-
pubhcanS on the Education
Committee might, in a closed
door vote, back the amendment
in hopes its inclusion would kill
the bills chances Of passage.
But the more serious threat,
in their view, lies in the pos

excluded parochial schools.
Prospects are for a very Close

189. Since then, the Republi-
cans have gained 81 seats in
the House.
Most of the 1860 votes fol-
passage of the bill came from
Northern Democrats. Many
of them represent districts
in Massachusetts,, Connecticut
New York, Philadelphia, Chi
cago, Detroit and other cities
with large parochial school
systems.
Their position, administra-
ton strategists concede, would
be very difficult if their Catho-
lie constituents indicate q
strong opposition to passage o1
a public school-only bill.
This is the political problem
that underlies the administra-
ton effort to win Catholic
leaders approval of the plan
to consider parochial school
aid separately. after the gen.
eral school bill is passed.
1t is not known how the
church hierarchy views this
plan. Catholic leaders may, il

GOVERNOR r r WELL
AS FHE NEW Governor prepares to take office, so does
the outgoing executive prepare to take on anew life.Gover-
nor John .. Merwin has done commercially for himself, and
it's only fitting and proper that some word be said in this
connection.
IT IS NOT 50 long ago that one can forget that near
chaos existed in things governmental. Appointments met with
dissatisfaction, experts came and went, the Senate refused to
confirm appointments, in instances the big stick was welded,
officials were dismissed summariIy, and in general dissatsfac-
ton reigned. Then almost with Tightening suddenness the an
nouncement that the young Senator from Frederiksted was
named Governor.
AT ONO AN air Of aim settled over the place, and we
got down to the business Of running a government and trying
to meet the challenges Of the day. Natives, the great majority
Of them highly fitted and qualified for service, were reward
ed with responsible appointments, and progress became the
order of the day.
IN HIS INAUGURAL Governor Merwin set out a pro-
gram which he committed himself to follow, and now, looking
back, he did make the most serious effort to observe. A build
ing program was instituted, and novl housing is much better
than it was, the water problem received attention, and propo-
sails were advanced and studied.
LEGISLATURE, which had spent 50 much valu-
able time at odds with the chief executive, now settled down
to proving that it could, with understanding direction and
cooperation from the Governors Office, project a legislative
program Of which it could be proud. In that atmosphere the
Senate enacted bills which guaranteed reforms of a political,
social and economic nature. Many of these bills are express
sions Of matmed thinking and political sophisticaion.
AS GOVERNOR MERWIN leaves his Office, we feel safe
in saying that the people Of these Islands, both at home and
abroad, would want to say a wOrd Of thanks and appreciation
for the sound, constructive leadership which he 50 fully gave.
For us in St. CroiS, it seemed as if at last there had come to
government house a governor Of al the Islands It would be
good If the outgoing Governor were available for advice and
suggestion, but if he should seek his fortunes elsewhere,
there is the hope that the very best will attend him, and that
he will always remember that, after all is said and done,
there is no place like home.

Time Is the Problem

The announced hope of Majority
Leader Mansfield to obtain Senate
passage of the District presidential
voting bill by the end of this week is
gratifying news to all WashingtonianS.
The House already has acted. After ex-
tenSive study, the Senate District Com
mittee approved its own version more
than week ago. 1t would be too bad
if these worthy efforts to complete the
necessary legislation to grant the fran
chiSe should fail so late in the session,
requiring a carryover until Congress
returns next year.
AS things appear now, there almost
certainly will be differences in the two
bills which will necessitate conference
between the House and Senate. In this
event, Chairman Mcmillan of the House
District Committee has promised to
seek such conference Immediately"
Agreement on the final version never
theleSS will take time, and the time re-
naming is flying swiftly by We hope,
therefore, that the Senate will act
promptly in fulfilling its role in this final
legislative step, just as last year it acted
to pave the way for the speedy ratifica-
tion of the 23d Amendment to the
Constitution by the States.
