Prejudice against Negroes by
white District policemen has
created antagoniSm here, the
president of the local branch
of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People charged last night.
The Rev. E. Franklin Jack
son said the antagonism has
contributed to an increase in
minor crimes here.
Mr.. Jackson also criticized
the Washington police depart
ment for turning its back"
on some crimes while it cracks
down on others that involve
Negroes.
Metropolitan Police Chief
Robert v. Murray today called
the charges irresponsible" and
without basis in fact.
Sees Prejudice
At a meeting of some 80
members of the Precinct AIS
Democratic Organization, Mr.,
Jackson said the hiring of
white policemen from Southern
States prejudices law enforce
ment here. He urged the police
department to give preference
to District residents when it
hires and promotes its officers.
Prejudice shown by some po-
licemen also has created a lack
of cooperation between Ne
groes and the police depart
ment, Mr.. jackson said.
"The average Negro does not
feel that the policeman is his
friend" he said.
Mr.. Jackson called for po-
lice action against "grafters

District Committee. They didn't
join their colleagues on the
floor and their absence empha-
sized the major strategic prob
lem Of home rule sponsors: A
traditional opposition to local
as opposed to Federal control
of the District within the
House committee handling Dis
trict business.
Stress 4 Points
Home rule speakers concen-
trated on four major argu-
mentS:
/. That Congress is too busy
to spend time on housekeeping
details of a city government.
2. That local self-govern-
ment in the Capital city would
be an example to the rest of
the world that Americans prac-
tice what they preach about
democracy.
3. That the Federal inter-
est" is paramount, but not ex-
elusive, in the District.
4. That the issue should be
freely discussed and studied
and, for the first time, voted
on by members of the House.
Mrs. Green said the best
talents of the House had been
directed toward such momen-
tous problems as whether to
issue the city code in loose
leaf or bound form, whether
to put railroad Sidings across
public space. whether to leash
dogs and whether to increase
the cost of driver learing per-
mits.
Sees Democracy Hurt
Representative Lindsay, Re-
publican of New York, said op-
position to home rule, in the
last analysis, reflected a basic
lack of confidence in demo-
cratic principles. Opponents
believe their city would be gov
erned better by Federal officials
than by their neighbors, he
added.
II never yet have seen a
housewife who isn't better able
to take care of her house than
her landlord is" Mr.. Lindsay
said.
Congress would retain ulti-
mate control over the District
in home rule bills because Of
the national interest in the
city, Representative Udall, Dem
ocrat of Arizona, said. Simply
because the national interest is
paramount does not mean all
interest here is national" he
said. "It does not mean we
cannot separate the national
from the local issues"

D.C.Heads Oppose
Muller Liquor Bill
Hearings End;
House Group
Split on Plan
By JOHN McKELWAY
Star Staff Writer


The District Commissioners
firm today in their
to the Multer liquor
bill
They re-submitted their orig
inal statement on the bill to
a House District subcommittee
which ended hearings today on
the legislation. The bill would
revise the law covering the dis
tribution and sale of alcoholic
beverages in the District, en-
acted in 1884.
AS they stated previously,
the Commissioners testified the
undesirable qualities Of the leg
iSlation were so numerous and
so sweeping that they had to
object to the bill in its entirity.
The Commissioners state
ment two weeks ago resulted
IN a controversy. Mr.. Multer
said the statement had been
withdrawn. But the Commits
sioners maintained there had
been a misunderstanding.
Action Is Planned
Representative Multer, Demo-
crat of New York. chairman Of
the subcommittee and author of
the bill, meanwhile announced
that the committee would go
into executive session early in
May in an attempt to report
the bill to the full committee.
He said he hoped Congress
would act on the legislation
before adjournment.
But a struggle in the sub
committee is apparently build
ing up.
Representative Springer, Re-
publica nof Illinois. bluntly said
today, This bill is not in the
public interest"
He also told Mr.. Multer,
You're going to have difficulty
getting this bill out of commit
tee."
Delay Requested
He asked Mr.. Multer to delay
action on the bill so that mem
berS of a citizens committee set
up by Commissioner John B.
Duncan might have a chance TO
testify on changes in the law.
But Mr.. Multer oaid the fact
that they may make some
recommendations is no reason
why We should not take action"
Mr.. Multer also lectured the
Commissioners for their stand
on the bill.
Il think" Mr.. Multer said.
we have a right to expect the
Commissioners to come up with
a revision of the act. You have
failed to come forth with a
single recommendation"
Mr.. Duncan tried to explain
that he had not had sufficient
time to study the various
changes in the law because Of
his other duties.
Some Sections Backed
And Commissioner Walter N.
Tobriner did say that there
were certain sections in the
Multer bill which the Commits
SionerS supported. He spe-
officially cited provisions which
would permit Standup drink
ing and enable the Commits
sioners to regulate the hours in
which alcohol may be sold.
Mr.. Multer told the Com
miSSioners they should take a
strong position on the bills
provision which would in
crease the penalties for false
liquor advertising.
But Mr.. Tobriner main
tanned that the city has an
adequate law regulating false
advertising and that many
situations are handled by the
Better Business Bureau.

Army Forms First Helicopter- Borne Air Cavalry

WASHINGTON Rf = After eight years of preparation, the Army is forming it's first troop of helicopter- borne air cavalry.
 Air cavalrymen like their horse-mounted forebearers would scout ahead of moving columns, reconnoiter the Hanks, seek out targets for artillery and rockets and spring raids behind enemy lines.
 The first tvoop of 147 men and 27 observation and transport type helicopters is being organized at the Ft. Knox, Ky, amored center. It is expected to be combat ready by the end of summer
 A second troop will be created at the infantry center, F't. Benning, Ga. The third and fourth will be attached to the two new regular Army divisions now being trained at Ft Carlson, Colo. and Ft. Hood, Tex.
 Ultimately, the Army hopes to integrate an air cavalry troop with each of it's 16 regular divisions. The helicopter companies now operating with South Vietnamese troops against Communist guerrillas are much different breed of unit. They are essential transport oalt- fits and are not intended to fight, although the choppers in Viet Nam have been equipped with machine guns.
 Air cavalry troops would be tactical combat units, their heli- copters armed with machine guns and anti-tank guided missiles. l The Army considers it's air cavalry concept suited to both nu- clear war battlefields, on which sur 1 face units would be widely spaced, and guerrilla-type wars, where
 mobility, speed and surprise are
 at premium.
