Mallory Rule
Qualification
Approved

A House judiciary subcom-
mittee has approved a bill de-
signed to clarity the Mallory
rule.
The bill, written by Represen-
tative Cramer, Republican of
Florida, has died in previous
Congresses. 1t would prevent
a District Judge from tossing
out a confession solely because
Of delay between the arrest and
arraignment Of a defendant.
The bill now goes to the full
Judiciary Committee.
Meanwhile, the Law Enforce
ment Council of the District re-
affirmed it's position on the
Mallory rule as well as the
Durham decision.
The group, composed of local
law enforcement officials, met
yesterday after an appearance
on Monday before the Senate
District Committee. The COM
mittee had requested the Or
ganization to recommend steps
to meet the city's recent crime
wave.
Approved yesterday was an
amendment to the Mallory rule,
offered by David c. Acheson,
United States Attorney for the
District. The amendment would
give arresting officers a "rea-
sonable" delay between arrest
and arraignment.
The council also upheld an
other Acheson amendment de-
signed to modify the Durham
decision. It would require the
defense to carry the burden of
proving insanity, instead of the
prosecution as is now the case
under the Durham decision.

Before a subcommittee headed
by Representative Dowdy, Dem
ocrat of Texas, are two bills,
both proposed by the transit
system and botn opposed by
the District Commissioners and
the Public Utilities Commission.
One bill would require the
District to subsidize school
fares to whatever extent is
necessary to guarantee the
transit company a profit of
6.5 per cent, based on its gross
operating revenue.
The other bill would require
the city to make up the loss
to the company which results
between the 10-cent school
fare and the regular fare of
rs cents.
Clarke Asks Changes
Engineer Commissioner Fred

the two bills be amended, con-
tended that the P. U. C. should
have the power to determine a
reasonable profit for the COM

granting D. c. Transit the 6.5
per cent return through legis-

Experts Patience Paid Off
In Matching Fingerprints

District fingerprint men proved
to be right on the button"
District police took photos of
the prints at the scene, deduced
what fingers they belonged to
and placed these photos on a
master FBI Identification card.
FBI techniclans then had to
do some thinking on their own.
From the prints they keep, they
had to deduce what the prints
of the missing two fingers-the
thumbS-looked like. Then they
set up a code formula on the
prints.
"All our printS-and we have
159 million Of them in all files
are arranged by this for
mula," Mr.. Voelker said.
The formula looks like some
thing from outer space. But
each letter and each number
in it represents the type of
print made by each finger on
the hand.
"Once we arrived at a for
mula. we put the crews to work
searching the criminal files"
Mr.. Bowles said. when that
didn't work, we tried the civil
files"
The civil files contain the
-fingerprints of all Government
employees, civilian and military,
past and present, most law en-
forcement men, and thousands
of others.
Wide Margin of Error
owe had another problem in
finding these prints" Mr..
BowleS added. "Since we had
to deduce-or guess, if you
want, what the two missing
prints looked like. we had to
allow a wide margin of error.
So instead of searching a few
file drawers, the technicianS
had to search many more thou
sands of records"
The technicians, after ex-
hauSting the criminal file,
started on the gigantic civil
file. They had two strikes
against them-two fingerprints
were missing. and the re-
mainder were in the most COM
mon classification of all.
The technicians. holding a
handful of FBI fingerprint
cards in one hand, leafed
through them looking for the
one to match prints found at
the scene.
Mr.. Voekler explained that a
trained technician can go
through the file faster than a
machine.
"The human eye can distin-
guish minute differences in
| form" he said "and on these
prints. the right index finger
contained a tiny pattern of
ridges that swirled together
like a buttonhook."
Looked for Pattern
The technicians looked for
this pattern. Many times they
stopped and checked other fin
gers when a card looked prom
ising. But they didn't find the,
right one until II pm. yester-
day. eight days after they
started.
The master file of Hughes
prints were in the civil file be-
cause he was a Post Office en-
ploye. Because his prints weFe
common, the card was among
tens of thousands of cards with
the same or almost the same
code formulae.
The technicians brought the
card to his supervisor. who
concurred with his findings,
and District police were called,
This type Of thing goes on
all the time" Mr.. Bowles said.
1T takes patience and a lot of
work. But just in case you're
wondering about the old say
ing-we have 159 million cards
with 10 fingers on each, and
we have never found two peo-
pie nor two fingers of the same
person that were identical"

unusual talents as housekeeper. He
is symbol. In the pre-Los Angeles
phase of the campaign his presence
was supposed to woo away followers
of Adlai Stevenson and convince
doubters that the Kennedyites were
genuinely liberal.
After the election he was named
No. 2 man in the State Department,
when Stevenson was by-passed as
Secretary of State. 1t was hoped this
would persuade these same people
that the new Administration well
coined men of Imagination, who were
stimulating, and devoid of stodginess.
Is this the wrong slot for that
kind of man? 1T may be, but that's
where the President put him.
OTHER ASPECTS OF THE CASE
There are other aspects to the
case that are even more disturbing.
The President, we were told by
Bob Kennedy and others, would be
his Gown Secretary of State" if he
won the election. Robert said this
at press conference in the offices
of the Democratic Advisory Council.
Lesser figures in the Administration
have echoed the comment from time
TO time.
This sounds like good idea when
you hear it for the first time, but
just what does it mean?
Does it mean that the Secretary
of State and the Undersecretary are
mere figureheads? Does it mean the
President will supersede them in mat
ters of policy-making Does it mean
they will only be consulted when it
suits the anonymous advisors at the
White House?
Does it mean they are merely to
give rubber-stamp approval to what
else proposes?
Part of the answer, / suppose, de-
Ponds on what the Secretary and
come up with in the
realm of new ideas. Mr.. Rusk has
been proceeding cautiously; Mr..
Bowles, we are told, has been bit
more daring. Actually we do not
know what ideas either man has pro-
posed. 1t is quite proper, up to
point, that new ideas should get
kicked around by the inner circle.
When decision is reached, presum-
ably, it is made public and everyone
gets behind it.
Has Chester Bowles violated this
-ule in any way?
If he has no one has been told
low and when.

The answers might upset some of

they are:

The next most frequent answer
was to earn higher profits.
Only $50 of the companies

Socialism Still creeps
After 20 Years, Eel Saws

NEW YORK CITY = (CNS) -
Three thousand utility executives
F. gathered in the Waldorf Astoria fol
Edison Electric Institutes recent
18th annual meeting, and for the
29th time speaker after speaker
warned of creeping socialism.
Chief target this year was the

gram. Philip Fleger, EEL chairman
and Duquesne Light Company presi-
dent, told his colleagues:
"Some people in Washington seem
to think the electric utility industry
is large part of the administrations

ing development of wholly unneces-
sary government power projects.
They're discussing plans for an equal
ly unnecessary federal transmission
system. They're espousing the most
extreme interpretations of the So
called preference clause. And they're
encouraging rural electric co-opera-
tives to serve factories and stores
and other nonfarm customers-con-
trary to the worthy intent of the
rural identification act.'

join him in meeting this challenge"

BOWLES CASE
President Kennedy proved shrewder
than some of his associates in the
brief, but unhappy, flare-up over
Chester Bowles' future in the new
Administration.
While they were still sharpening
their knives and preparing for long
war the President beat a hasty re-
treat. He expressed complete conf
dence in his Undersecretary of State
and denied that he ever asked for
his resignation.
The President, of course, reserved
the right to shift any of his associates
into posts where their talents were
best employed. But he denied that
any immediate changes were con-
templated.
1t was a face-saving gesture for
all parties concerned, but it did not
go to the heart of the matter.
The issue is not whether Chester
Bowles is, or is not, good "admin-
istrator". He was not brought into
