House Hears Demand
For Police Merger to
Curb Violent Crimes
Warning Congress that "rape and
murder” here must stop, Representa
tive Grant, Democrat, of Alabama,
has demanded merger of the Metro
politan and Park Police forces to
protect women and girls.
He sounded his call for action
on the House floor yesterday, as he
introduced a bill to consolidate the
two police forces under the direction
of the superintendent of the Metro
politan Police.
Referring in his House speech to
the recent Rock Creek murder of
11-year-old Carol Barflwell who was
“brutally attacked,” Mr. Grant
charged that “this once fair Capital
City of the Nation has become the
haven of sexual perverts and crimi
nals.”
Says Number Increasing.
“They are converging upon Wash
ington in ever increasing numbers,”
he declared. If there is one place
in the Nation where a little child
can walk alone, it should be here
in the District of Columbia.
"It is dangerous for one to walk
alone here at any hour of the day
or night. These criminals have
become so bold that they no longer
wait for the cover of darkness to
commit their atrocious crimes, but
carry them out in the broad open
daylight.”
Conditions now existing here, the
Alabaman declared, "are a shame
and disgrace to a civilized commu
nity. This Congress must demand
that this conrition be cleaned up
and that it be done now.”
Blames Divided Authority.
Mr. Grant emphasized that, he
was not censoring or condemning
either of the two police forces.
"They have worked hard, under
great handicaps,” he said, "but there'
is divided authority. They have
done well under great odds. Both
the Park police and Metropolitan
police are undermanned. All of
these men should be given good
salaries and shorter hours. Law
enforcement should be under one
command.”
oevtrai aiit'inpus jiave uccu uiauc
to consolidate these two police
forces in Washington, but legisla
tion has never been approved to
accomplish the purpose. One bill
was vetoed by the President. A
similar measure still is pending in
the House District Committee, to
which the Grant bill was referred.
Strong opposition to such a merger
always has come from the Interior
Department, the National Park
Service and the Office of National
Capital Parks.
Thomas Group Urged fo Halt
Condon AHack or Apologize
ly th» Associated Pres*
Representative Holifield, Demo
crat, of California, said yesterday
that members of the House Un
American Activities Committee
should cease making statements
about the loyalty of Dr. Edward U.
Condon or apologize for past com
mittee charges against him.
Dr. Condon, head of the National
Bureau of Standards, has been
cleared by the Atomic Energy Com
mission “of all charges made against
him by the Un-American Activities
Committee,” Mr. Holifield said in a
speech in the House.
"Now,” he added, "committee
members either should stop making
statements against him, or publicly
apologize for publicly assassinating
his character with charges about his
loyalty.”
A special subcommittee headed
by Chairman Thomas of the full
committee issued a report last May
calling Dr. Condon “one of the
weakest links” in the Nation’s
atomic security chain. Subsequently
the Atomic Energy Commission gave
Dr. Condon a clean bill of health.
Dr Condon has denied the com
mittee’s accusations repeatedly, and
has asked for a public hearing on
them. The committee has said pub
lic hearings will be held, but has not
yet set a date.
Mother, 20, Denied Custody
Of Illegitimate Child, 6
Justice Alexander Holtzofl yester
day denied a 20-year-old mother
the custody of her 6-year-old il
legitimate daughter.
In a ruling which he said was in
the interest of the child. Justice
Holtzofl left the little girl in the
custody of her aunt. The aunt has
reared the child as her own since
she was five years old.
In seeking custody of the child,
the mother, who lives in Alexandria,"
said that she was 14 years old when
the child was born, and that she
left the girl with a half-sister until
such time as she could care for her.
The mother was married two
years ago to a mechanic. She said
her husband, who is not the father
of the child, wants to provide a
home for the girl.
In making his decision, Justice
Holtzofl said that anguish would
result no matter how he ruled. Say
ing he did not want to see the child
hurt, the justice pointed out that
the child believes the aunt is her
mother.

Board Approves Shift
Giving foil Vocational
Use of Powell School
The Board of Education yesterday
announced its approval of a plan
to provide new quarters for students
of the Bell Vocational School &y
moving them to the building now
occupied by the Powell Junior High
School at Hyatt place and Lamont
street N.W.
The plan also calls for closing
Powell School and transferring its
students to Central High School
at Thirteenth and Clifton streets
J*.W.
The move is expected to be com
pleted in time for the opening of
school next September, according
to C. Melvin Sharpe, chairman of
the School Board’s Committee on
Buildings and Grounds.
The Bell School has been situated
in an old building at Seventh and O
streets N.W., part of which has been
condemned. Mr. Sharpe’s commit
tee long has considered it inade
quate for the present enrollment of
the school, he said.
When the plan was made public
at a hearing of the committee last
Tuesday, several residents of the
Powell School area expressed dis
approval. It was indorsed by other

the Bell School.
Mr. Sharpe said the move finally
was approved by his committee yes
terday and a poll was taken of the
six members of the School Board
who were in town. The vote in
favor was unanimous, the an
nouncement said.
Members of the board will go
before Commissioner John Russell
Young today to get his approval of
the plan. The next move would be
for Congress to transfer a $58,800
appropriation so the Powell School
can be remodeled as a vocational
school. The sum was allocated to
Central, when it was believed the
Bell School would be'moved there.
