Congress to Be Asked
to Note on 4Stsiet code a
! of Traffic Legislation

A strict code of traffic LEGISLATION for
the National Capital is one Of the first
things the incoming session Of Con-
gress is going to be asked to vote
upon. This new traffic code will in
clude provision for q traffic court and
OF driving permits to reckless or In
competent drivers, according to Rep
resentativeF Fred Zihlman Of Mary
land, who is fathering this LEGISLATION.
Representative Zihlman says, that
the returning members Of Congress
and prominent men from all parts Of
the country tell him that there is
more reckless driving in the National
Capital than in any other city. and that
extensive parkway system and such
wide streets. should be the safest city
in the country from traffic accidents.
Representative Zihlman said that as
q result of extensive hearings held by
him as chairman of a special sub
committee Of the House District COM
mittee in the last session Of Congress
this bill can be ready for action in
the House on the first District day.
House District committee returns to the
capital Mr.. Zihlman intends to ask
him to put the traffic legislation at
the top of the program. He believes
that it can be disposed of with very
little debate in the House, and that

Considering Drastic Rule
for Issuance Of Permits
to Automobile Drivers

Drastic regulations for the issuance
of operators permits for District
automobile drivers are expected to be
recommended by the automobile
board. which now is going over the
entire traffic problem of Washington
Although nothing definite was
learned as to the exact nature of the
recommendations Of the board in this
respect, it is thought probable that a
real test of driving ability will be in
corporated into the regulations. This.
in the opinion OF the majority Of
motorists of this city. will do away
with a great deal of incompetency
now being displayed by some newly
licensed District drivers.
II cannot give any details of the
recommendation" said a member OF
the board today. but / can tell you
that it will be much more dificult
matter to secure a permit to drive il
our suggestions are adopted by the
Commissioners.
many letters had been received from
organizations and individuals in the
District making suggestions anent
the proposed new regulations, ard
that many valuable ideas had been
brought out. He said the board con-
sidered carefully every letter sent in,
and on several occasions had changed
recommendations to take care of The
new ideas.
The board is working diligently on
the traffic problem. continued the
member, "and we feel that a good
deal Of progress has been made maxi
ing constructive suggestions SO that
drive in in the future"
The board will meet in Maj. Bes-
sons ONCE, the chairman, tomorrow

President-elect Harding leaves south

had when he came here eight days
ago. In spite Of the unfortunate ex-
perience he was submitted to by over
Jealous Texas friends in being

tor Harding managed to acquire,
nevertheless. Information that should

policies Of the United States.
The President-elect has been ad-
vised. for example, that the border,
which means some hundreds Of thou

themselves are opposed to military
Intervention. He has been advised
by men who may be supposed to
know that military Intervention would
