CONDEMNS NARROW
TRAFFIC viewpoint
Bibbins Tells Maryland U. Students
Scientific Study Is Needed
for Problem.

4 new and broader angle to traffic
problems was presented by j. ROW
land Bibbins. consulting transporta-
tion engineer of this city, in an ad-
dress before the civil engineering de-
partment of Maryland University to-
day, when he gave a national rather
than municipal viewpoint on trans
portation highways by declaring that
they should be considered as the
terminal system of our great ma
tional highways as well as for purely
local traffic"
He said the city traffic problem has
been conceived on entirely too mar
row q. basis. He condemned what
he termed "verboten Legislation, with
it's many dont's rather than dos"
charging that much of it has tended
toward Slowing down rather than
speeding up traffic to develop exist
ing street capacity"
In considering the traffic problem.
he explained cities must undertake
more thorough surveys of present and
future transportation conditions. He
went into technical illustration Of his
ideas and plans for the betterment
of traffic conditions.
The remedy for all this" he de-
clared. "is scientific study and plan
ming rather than the inefficient cut
and-dry methods of the present. The
universities should educate their en-
gineering students more in these diff
fcult problems of city growth, for
they are engineering rather than po-
litical problems"

WARNS OF TROUBLE.
OVER LOCAL. RENTS
Hammer Says 10000 Suffer
From CroWding and Ex-
orbitant Charges.

Emphasizing his. conviction that
there is a real shortage of housing
accommodations in the Capital which
Is creating q severe hardship, Repre-
sentative William c. Hammer, demo-
crat of North Carolina, member Of
the subcommittee which conducted
extensive hearings on the Lampert
bill to extend the life of the District
Rent Commission, today put a speech
upon this subject into the Congress
sional Record.
Representative Hammer argues that
there are at least 10000 residents in
the District inadeauately housed. Be-
cause of exorbitant rents, these peo-
pie are crowded into congested quar-
terS, he says.
"These tenants are forced to give
up much that life holds dear in order
to fill the pockets of a few avaricious
profiteering landlords and real estate
agents." Representative Hammer said.
Warns of Mob Violence.
Many of the landlords are so
greedy that repairs are not MADE and
the buildings are allowed to fall into
decay and become SO filthy that they
are a menace to public health" he
continued. He warned the District
health authorities that an epidemic
or confiagration which would be very
difficult to control might result. He
also warned that should the masses
become incensed it would take an
armed force to quell mob violence.
The disbanding of the war emer-
gency army of workers in the various
federal departments was insufficient
to relieve the housing situation. Rep
reSentative Hammer feels. "A few
clerks separated from the govern
ment pay roll did not leave adequate
space for many families" he argues.
Some of the discharged clerks did
not even leave the city. During the
war conditions were such that eight
or ten could be found living in one
room and making the best of it, be-
cause of a national emergency.
Thinning out this condition does
not, by any means, restore normal liv-
ing conditions, he continues. Houses
of the well-to-do which were thrown
open to war workers were closed
after the armiStiCe, and Il number of
condemned houses which We're used
during the emergency have since been
closed or torn down." the representa-
tive says.
SuyS 10000 Suffer.
An investigation shows that fully
10000 persons are living in crowded,
insanitary dwellings and paying. eX-
orbitant rents. No houses are being
built that Will meet the requirements
of the moderate salary paid to the
majority who are government en-
ployes. The housing congestion is
still great enough in houses renting
for less than $50 Il month to menace

Denial of House
Seat to Texan Is
Recommendation,

A. recommendation that E. w.
Cole, democrat, be denied seat as
representative at large from
Texas, was made to the House
today by one Of its elections COM
mittees.
On the theory that Texas under
the 1920 census was entitled to
additional representation in Con-
gress Mr.. Cole was nominated and
elected in 1922. At the beginning
Of the present session the House
declined to recognize his cleo
ton. and referred the case to a
committee.
The committees findings were
that before any state could in
crease its House delegation it
would be necessary for Congress
to enact a reapportionment bill.

The need for high-priced dwellings

Hammer. Even then, those who have
studied, the situation find the floor
space has been decreased to such an
extent that even in this high priced
class there is a scarcity of houses for

to Representative Hammer, who an
nounced his intention to make the
strongest possible fight in the House,
