BY CHARLES PIERCE

A new plan was suggested to-
day by Walter N. Tohriner,
president Of the District Board

posal to overcome an obstacle
pointed out by Representative

House District Committee, TO
approval by Congress Of the
formula advocated by Presi-
dent Kennedy.
The administration has rec
commended q formula giving
the District annually an amount
equal to what the Federal Gov
eminent would pay on its
buildings here II It were a tax
payer. This would amount to
$50 million.
Under Mr.. Tobriner's pro-
posed modification Of the for
mula, the Federal Government
would make payments TO the
District in lieu Of taxes only
for those Federal installations
not usually located in other
cities.

More Vicious,
Murray Asserts

Crime in Washington not
only has increased over the
years, it has become more vi
cious, according to Metropoli-
tan Police Chief Robert v.
Murray.
Recalling to 1880, when he
first Joined the force, Chief
Murray told an interviewer:
I'VE had street crimes then.
We had purse snatchings, hold
ups-but I don't think you had
the vicious type of crime that
you have now"
Asked what he thinks causes
criminals to beat up their VIC
TINS after robbing them, Chief
Murray said possibly it was ito
put fear into the victim to
prevent Identification"
The chief deplored the effects
OF recent court decisions and
the ban on investigative ar
rests, which he said make the
policemen'S job harder.
He said removal of the legal
restrictions" would be more
effective than an increase in
policemen.
Chief Murray's views were ex-
pressed in an interview appear
ing in the current issue of U. S.

cause it permits a fast draw.
AS the three men sat at the
