.ASKSOLDIERS
FOR POLICING
Put White House Cops on
Traffic Duty, Commerce
Mems Demand.

That soldiers be placed on guard
around the White House, embassies
and other public buildings and thus
relieve fifty policemen sorely needed
to regulate traffic was the suggestion
advanced yesterday by the newly
appointed committee on traffic of
the Washington Chamber of Com
merce. The committee, under chair
manship OF Charles w. Darr. held
its first meeting Thursday in which
it discussed traffic conditions.
The suggestions of the committee
will be read to the board of direc-
tors of the Commerce Chamber
when 1t meets next Tuesday and
If adopted will be referred to the
District Commissioners as the YER
dict of the central body of Wash
ington business men.
Two other suggestions adopted by
the committee in its search for
remedies against the large number
of fatalities and serious injuries to
pedestrians by automobiles are:
mat tne lou Vacancies IN lne pO-
lice personnel be filled at once and,
What these appointments be made
even II minor defects among ap-
plicants have to be waived.
The suggestion of filling va
cancies was made by DR.. c. r. Du-
four. Tha difficulties of the depart
ment securing the desirable
quality ofmen provoked one member
of the committee to remark that
he knew OF a case in which an ap-
plicant had been rejected for the
sole reason that one Of his teeth
was decayed.
Chairman Darr of the committee
yesterday sent a letter to each
member OF the chamber asking for
his cooperation during NO Acct
dent Week" inaugurated by the
Safety Council of the District.

SAYS BUILDING
.BILLISLIKELY
Pork Barrel" Legislation
Predicted by Represen-
tative Harreld.

The House Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds will report
out a general buildings bill during
the coming short session OF Con-
gress, in the opinion of Representa-
tive John w. Harreld, of Oklahoma,
a member of that committee. Work
on the public building program,
Sometimes referred to as pork
barrel legislation" has been held in
allegiance since the beginning of the
war.
Representative Harreld said he
based his belief that public build
ing legislation will be brought up
in this session on a promise made
by House leaders during the last
session and agreed to by members
of the committee that If an omnibus
buildings bill was not reported out
at that time that each Congress
sional district would be given one
or two Federal buildings this year.
Harreld contends that this legis-
lation can be classed as an appro-
priation measure and argues that, in
the long run, it would be in the
interests of economy to erect Fed
eral buildings throughout the coun-
try to avoid payment of high rents
for space for postofices and other
governmental activities.

George A. Weschler, chairman, in
introducing the speakers, declared
the engineer of today is taking
more interest in the important ma
tional questions of the hour than
ever before. He called attention to
the fact that the recent organiza-

Engineering Societies is the, latest
expression of the engineering pro-
fession of its interest in national
questions and it's desire for public
service.
