Chief Backs
Police Force
Plea by Dodd

Police Chief Robert V. Muir
ray today said he welcomed a
proposal given to Congress yes
terday by Senator Dodd, Demo-
crat of Connecticut, to curb
criminal outrages in the Ma
TONS Capital" by increasing
the police force.
Chief Murray pointed out
that the Metropolitan Police
Department has asked for an
increase of Sc men for the fiscal
year beginning July l and ex-
poets to request an additional
100 men in the following July.
Il would be very happy if I
could increase the force by
these numbers now" Chief
Murray said.
He pointed out that even if
so more police dogs are author
lied by Congress, it will take
two years to obtain the animals
and train the man-dog teams
for street patrol.
District Commissioner To-
briner today said he had no
comment on Senator Dodd's
proposal.
I'VE in Congress have the
power to govern this city and
therefore we must bear a large
share of the responsibility for
what happens here" Senator
Dodd said in a Senate speech.
He told his colleagues they
were partly to blame for the II
persons murdered last month
in the District, an increase of
almost 80 per cent over Feb
ruary, 1861.
In 1861, Washington had II
cases of juvenile homicide, the
Senator said, compared with
three in 1860.
Senator Dodd recommended
expanding police patrol pro-
lection and counseling services
for young people, changes in
sentencing discretion for judges,
regulation of the shipment of
guns through the mails and
other measures.

THE PARK SERVICE has

THE PARK SERVICE has
been successful in eradicat-
ing the japanese honeysuckle
from the island. That must
have been quite a job. 1t is
trying to come back but
there are no tangles of
vines. The honeysuckle
which stays green all winter,
starts to lose its leaves at this
time and replaces them i'm
mediately.
We flushed a flicker. That
definitely is a sign of spring.
Those big WoodpeckerS,
which don't peck wood but
feed on the ground, won't
come north until they are as
sured of warm weather.
Many of the trees on the
island are festooned with
English ivy. The ivy probably
goes back to the days when
the John Mason mansion
dominated the island.
Not a trace of it can be
seen today. The Masons
moved out because of mos
quitos and malaria about
1885. The house was later
Quilted by fire. Its masonry
walls were standing in 1884
when the CCC boys cut paths
through the island.
1t was feared the walls
would fall on someone so the
boys took them down after
measuring the house and
making notes on its conStruc-
ton.
A number of artifacts were
: found, ShardS of china, hand
tools, kitchen utensils, etc.
They were photographed and
then put into a large chest
which was buried. Now the
Park Service can't find the
chest. Treasure island!
We started back just in
time. The tide was rising. A
half hour later the causeway
was under water.

curity of his money came when
a branch manager of the Mich
igan Savings and Loan Asso-
citation from which he had
withdrawn the money called
him in for a conference.
He had checked the records,
they said, and they could not
find Freestate listed" Father
Dietz told the court.
In another savings and loan
development, the Baltimore
Colonial Mutual Savings & Loan
Association started operating
today under new management
with court approval.
Its operations will be super
viSed by Albert w. Ward, State
director of the Department Of
Assessments and Taxation, who
administers Maryland's savings
and loan regulatory law.
Action in Baltimore
Il court order signed yester-
day by Judge Reuben Open
heimer of the Circuit Court of
Baltimore City prohibited with
draWals of funds from the
association without Mr.. Wards
or the courts consent.
The association has about
1000 shareholders and $2.5 mil
lion in savings. New funds
may be put into the firm, but
must be kept separate from
those already on hand. Ac.
cording to Ronald H. Good.
man, attorney for the new di,
rectorS, money will be allowed
to be withdrawn from new
funds which are deposited.
Judge Oppenheimer's order
was issued following the peti.
ton of the firm saying thai
while it believes itself to be
solvent, recent disclosures in
the savings and load field re-
suited in "inordinate with
draWals" which in turn created
a danger of possible in
solvency."

All Assured for
l2-Member Unit

day by the District Commits

The action was taken on the
recommendation of Commits
sioner John B. Duncan, who
has direct supervision over the.
liquor board.
Mr. Duncan said that the
new group will positively not
be an investigative committee.
Mr.. Duncan said the COM

12-member committee.
In making his proposal. Mr..
Duncan said the committee will
be asked to serve for about
three months, and make pro-
posals to the Commissioners.
There appears to be a need
for a look at this time at the
ABC regulations. policies and
organizational practices. I think
the public and the industry
would stand to gain" Mr.. Dun
can said.
There has been an opening
on the three member ABC
Board since the retirement of
Richard B. Sullivan a month
ago.
The city's Democratic organi-
cation has Endorsed five persons
for the board appointment. The
controversy over filling this
post has been heightened by the
fact that one of the five, Will

Strong Pressure
There have been strong pres
Sures on the Commissioners in
support of all five. including a
vigorous campaign from some
members of the Negro COM
munity for Mr.. Woodson. One
of the two board members,
James G.. Tyson, is a Negro.
The other member is chair
man Frank E. Weakly.
Mr.. Duncan will have the
major say in the appointment
decision. He is the Districts
first Negro Commissioner.
In addition to Mrs. Gichner,
other members of the new
group, named the Citizens Co.

The Washington Publishers
Association was sharply criti-
cized today for its opposition tc
a bill which would revise local
liquor laws.
Representative Multer, Dem
ocrat of New York, author of
the bill, called the stand by the
publishers "unconscionable. "
Mr.. Multer, who is chairman
of a House District subcommit-
tee which is screening the leg
islation, said the association
should have urged deletion of
the sections of the bill to which
it objected instead of opposing
the entire bill.
His remarks came as Gerald
w. Siegel, vice president Of the
Washington Post, representing
the association, called a proyi-
sion in the bill wholly unjus-
titled" because it would in
crease consumer prices. He re-
ferred to a section of the bill
which would prohibit price adj
vertising.
Misleading Ads Claimed
Mr.. Multer also claimed that
there is ample misleading adj
vertising in local newspapers.
And he also asserted that when
ever he has introduced legis-
lation to prevent price-cutting
in the local liquor industry he
has noted that liquor adver-
tiSements seem to fall off"
Mr. Siegel denied that the
three local newspapers publish
misleading advertisements and
said ads of that type are
screened out before they get in
a newspaper.
Mr.. Multer then requested
that Mr.. Siegel return with evil
dence of rejected advertise
mentS and also asked for fig
ures showing the total annual

The
Rambler
-. Explores
Roosevelt Island
By GEORGE KENNEDY

Recent flood waters in the
Potomac have washed away
the wire fence with a pad
locked gate that bars en-
trance to the cauSeway to
Roosevelt Island.
The Rambler noticed this
as he was driving along the
George Washington Memo
rial boulevard. 1t was a
temptation he couldn't resist.
He drove down to the cause
way but found that a chain
about a foot high prevented
him from driving to the
island.
What of it? He walked
across.
only a few steps from the
island he flushed a wild
duck. 1t flew up river, cir
cled and came back. At first
he thought it was a black
duck. They stay all year in
the Chesapeake country. But
when it came back with the
sun shining on it there could
be no mistake. 1t had the
brilliant blush green or
greeniSh blue neck with a
white collar. 1t was a mallard
drake.
That's the remar kable
thing about Roosevelt Island.
It's a wilderness.

A WILDERNESS in the
heart of a community of
more than G. million popula-
ton.
A row of leaves and twigs
about a dozen feet in shore
showed how high the Poto-
mac had risen-just as the
seaWeed left to dry shows
how high was the highest re-
cent tide.
The island escaped mum
dalton. The paths were dry
no mud.
He was greeted by a chorus
of caWs. But soon he realized
the caWing was not for him.
The crows were Scolding an
owl that had taken refuge in
a hemlock tree. They'll do
that, make life miserable for
an owl and pursue him from
tree to tree. No wonder the
owls prefer the nights.
Signs of spring were few.
This is the latest spring for
Washington in this writer's
experience.
The spice bushes, a relative
of the sassafrass tree, are in
blossom, so is the chickWeed.
But you'll never get people
excited about chickWeed in
bloom, sign of spring or no.
The little wild flower called
the veronica is in bloom. 1t
is named after Veronica, the
woman who wiped the face
of Christ with her veil which
thereafter was imprinted
with his likeness. Some say
that if you look into the
heart of this tiny flower you
can see the face of our Lord.
We flushed a junco, the
little slate gray bird with the
two white tail feathers. The
junco is called the snow bird.
That he is still around shows
how late this spring is. He
should have flown north two
or three weeks ago.
There was a terrific rata
tat-tat ahead. You would
think this noise like a riveter
in action would be caused by
one of the large Woodpeckers.
But no, it was a doWny, no
larger than a sparrow.

Get Conditional
U. S. Aid Pledge

The. United States has
agreed in principle to provide
$l2 million to Mexico and the
five Central American nations
to help stabilize their coffee
industries.
The loan will be contingent
on the adoption of realistic
coffee quotas and effective
methods of enforcing them. A
meeting to discuss the pro-
posed program will be held
here January Is.
Teodoro Moscoso, Latin
American affairs director of
the Agency for International
Development, which will ad-

yesterday that the plan will not
go through unless the coun-
tries involved undertake meas
ures to relieve overproduction
and to strengthen controls over
exports.
Besides Mexico, Honduras
Guatemala, Costa Rica, Mica
