Robeit Field. (Mamie has served six teims as president of the South Car Washington Datel Bv ROBERT I This column has learned that several recent even ts have more than aroused the wrath of local citizens and it is felt this could be a factor in crirrii nal activities going on in Washington. We learned that a number of tenants living in slum areas think the Board of D. C. Commissioners are merely appeasing the slumlords with toothless penalties for failure to correct housing violations.

It is contended that a fine of $10 or $25 is no more than a slap on the wrist. Slumlords will merely pay this and make just enough repairs to placate the authorities. In the process the tenant will be put under pressure and probably get a boost In rent without additional service. Stiff fines, a suspension of licenses or even jail sentences, it is pointed out, would be far more effective in cleaning up slum conditions. Many Capitol Hill and civic observes tell us this condition will negate the President's poverty program and wil not be cleaned up until he steps in.

Many civil rights groups with headquarters In Washington have thrown their support behind Rep. Charles C. Diggs in his call for a reprimand to Deputy Police Chief Howard V. t'ovell for his testimony on Capitol Hill that crime hnd increased in the. district because of integration.

Covell, in reply to a question, told the Senate Subcommittee on Appropriations, that crime had increased since integration. He testified in the presence of D. C. Board Commissioner Walter N. Tobriner.

Rep. Diggs has suggested that Covell be reprimanded for his testimony. He added that it is highly unusual for a subordinate to testify on Capitol Hill without first clearing his testimony with his superiors on the Board of Commissioners, which is Commissioner Tobriner. Congressman Dfegs is the new member of the district House Committee. The civil rights groups also pointed out that Covell's testi Nell Jackson Coach of U.S.

A group of social worker who daily handle many under privileged cases and deal with criminal elements, told The Courier that legislation alone will help, but will not solve the so called D. C. crime rate. They were referring to recently released statistics on crime and closed door hearings now being held on Capitol Hill. The social workers enumerate some of the things they think will ease the crime rate.

They think, police with better orientation of racial matters, better housing, adequate street lighting, reduction in relief rolls, by puttins those to work that are able, cleaning up the school situation, provide wholesome recreation equivalent to those in the suburbs, are among some of the suggestions. The Courier has learned that a petition is being circulated to obtain signatures to request the Postmaster General to return the Main Post Office to 24 hour operation. It is contended that the shut down is working a tremendous hardship on the community because it puts a person working from 8 to 5 at a disadvantage, and does not give him time to use his local post office. It is pointed out that the so called saving on operation is no more than a political gimmick and might well backfire. Dr.
