TO Walter N. Tobriner preSi-
dent of the District Board of
Commissioners. Eight specific
areas of police operation were
questioned in the letter.
Rap at Senator
The request came in the
wake of a letter to Senator
Morse from the District of
Columbia Policemen's Associa-
ton. attacking the Senator for
his criticism of Metropolitan
Police Chief Robert V. Murray.
Senator Morse, a member of
the Senate District Committee,
had accused Chief Murray of
seeking police state powers" in
an omnibus crime bill before
Congress.
Chief Murray sought the re-
instatement of Investigation ar
rests and the relaxation of re-
strictions imposed by the NAL
lory decision.
An investigative arrest allows
police to hold suspects for
questioning without a specific
charge. The Mallory court rul-
ng limist the admission in court
of confessions obtained be-
tween arrest and arraignment.
Chief Murray has denied
being behind the association S
action. The association is, in
effect. a union of policemen
and has no official relationship
to the chief or the District gov
eminent.
Chief Murray said yesterday
he intends to send a portion of
the report to the Senator as
soon as possible. Two other sec
tons will be forwarded later
because of the research in
volved.
One of these is a list of the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-12-14

men added to the force during
the last eight years, listing
where they we're recruited,
what their qualifications were,
educational background and
previous police experience, if
any. About 2,100 new men are
involved, officials said.
The second section the de-
partment will deliver later is a
complete record of all speeches,
testimony or public statements
by Chief Murray and other
officials in the last 6 years on
the Mallory decision. the
Durham rule concerning in
sanity and investigative ar
rests.
Some questions by the Sena-
tor. such as the amount of
duty time some policemen have
spent on association affairs,
are fairly simple to answer, the
chief said. The men in question
are Pvt. George Whaler. Royce
Owens and the other members
of the executive board and leg
islative committee of the aSso-
citation. These men signed the
letter attacking Senator Morse.
Other Data
The early portion of the re-
port will also tell the Senator
the name. rank and age of Off
Gals who have retired since
1857, and:
The assignment and exact
nature of the work of each of
the departments 43 captains.
A list of real estate holdings,
including acquisition date and
value, of all policemen with
rank of captain or higher.
The names of all men pro-
NOTED in the last five years
and the criteria used. There
have been 434 promotions in
the period.
A detailed report of the rela-
tionship between departmental
officials and the association in
the last eight years.
1t will be pointed out that
the association and the chief
have often been at odds. A case
in point is a current police pay
bill. The association wants
time-and-a-half for overtime
and overtime for court appear
ances on days off.
The chief favors straight
time and compensatory time
off.
Policemen also point out
that committees of the House
and the Senate frequently call
on the association to send rep
reSentatives to testify at hear
ingS to get the opinions of the
men on the force.
Nothing in the report will
deal with racial problems be-
cause the Senator has not
asked for this as yet.
| However, Senator Morse said
in his letter that he will re-
quest this information later
when he launches into "a
much more extensive study" of
the police department.

SlQlng OUTSIDE the CITY, II
the parents cannot support the
child.
Irving r. M. Panzer. a coun-
Gil member. questioned the le-
gality of the dismissal of chill
dren for nonpayment of tut
ton. When tuition isn't paid,
the person with whom the
child is living received a letter
from the school system which
tells him the child is being dis
missed and that it is a viola
ton Of the compulsory attend
ance law not to have the child
enrolled in school, if he is
under 16.
In my opinion I can't find
any authority for dismissal ::
the provision isn't in the bill, 4"
Mr.. Panzer said. The way I
read them (the tuition and
compulsory attendance laws)
they are not in conflict. ="
"a st. Elizabeths patient is
not thrown out If his relatives
don't pay. It's simply a debt. "
100000 in Year
The yearly fee. which varies
according to level and type of
school, ranges from 1858 for an
elementary student to more
than $500 for a vocational high
school student. Last year the
city collected 100000 in tut
tons.
The Districts law makes the
parents residence the criterion
for whether tuition is to be
paid. This is unlike many state
laws which base the question
on where the child lives, &C
cording to Assistant Corpora
ton Council William Robinson.
One of the legal problems
with the law is that even
though the hardship provision
exempts out-of-town parents
who cannot provide care and
support, Congress didn't define
care and support, he said.
This leaves the responsibility
with the school administration
I'VE have to deal with each
claim for exemption on its own
merits" John M. Fletcher, ex-
ecutive assistant to the deputy
superintendent of schools, told
the council.
Clause Too Rigid
Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican of Virginia, has in
PRODUCED legislation to repeal
the hardship clause because it
is difficult to administer
School officials want to keep ii
because it gives them the only
leeway they have in applying
the law, they say.
Questions by members of the
council indicated they favored
such a clause but felt the
present one was too rigid.

Road Planning Unit
Agreed on for Area
Regional Agency
Gets Major Role
On Highways

Formation of a new regional
agency to plan highways for
the Washington area was
agreed on at a meeting of a
dozen top area planners yes
terday which was closed to all
outsiders.
Even staff members of the
various commissions involved
were excluded.
When the hour-and-a-half
meeting ended, William H
Moss. chairman of the National
c apital Regional Planning
Council. gave this explanation
of what had been accom-
plished:
1t was agreed that the plans
for highway development in
this area will be worked out by
a new regional agency with its
staff and budget. 1t will be in
dependent of the other regional
agencies which have been set
up for a variety of other pur-
poses.
Key to u. S. Funds
1t is essential, Mr.. Moss said,
to get this new agency into OPP
Grafton in the near future be-
cause the Federal Highway Act
which provides Federal funds
on a 90-l0 matching basis re-
quires that such a group be es-
tabliShed if the area is to re-
ceive any funds after June,
1865.
Several of the existing agen-
cies had offered, he said, to
serve as a parent" body for
the new agency and this had
caused some controversy. It
was decided at yesterdays
meeting that the new agency
would not be related to any of
the old ones.
"They didn't say so in so
many words, but it soon be-
came evident" Mr.. Moss said,
that the highway people
would not turn over any of
their prerogatives to any re-
gional agency other than one
set up for this specific purpose
and one in which they had a
part"
To Decide on Procedure
AS worked out yesterday, the
highway agencies of Maryland,
Virginia, the District of Column
bia and the Federal Bureau Of
Public Roads will agree among
themselves on the procedure
for highway planning in this
area.
They will then present their
proposals to local boards of su-
pervisors and city councils and
ask them to agree to appoint
members to a special commit
tee which will set up the new
Transportation advisory COM
mittee.
Mr.. Moss estimated that it
would probably be a year be-
fore the new committee begins
operating.
Officials at Sessions
Present at the meeting were
Mr.. Moss, Henry Hiser, Mrs.
R. F. S. Starr and Mrs. James
Rowe, chairman of the Nation
al Capital Planning Commits
sion, all representing the Ma
tional Capital Regional Plan
ming Council.
Representing the Metropoli-
tan Council of Governments
were the president, Frank Laft-
ner: Mrs. Anne Wilkins and
Roye Lowry.
Highway men present were
Walter J. Addison of the Mary
land State Roads Commission,
K. M. Wilkinson of the Virgin
ia Department of Highways
and A. A. Grant of the D. C.

Also present were Brig. Gen.

neer Commissioner, and Del
