One of the grimmest stories OF the

Special reports will be made to

for cooperation with the commission
are to be made.
Edward M. Bassett, New York

District in the suit. The two at
torneys will outline a plan OF de-

"If this suit is won bye Mrs. Stear-
man, Washington may be developed
in a haphazard fashion and its
beauties destroyed forever"
Mrs. Stearman several months
ago sought a permit to erect a
business structure on Columbia road
northwest, near Mozart place. This
being a residential section. the COM
mission denied the request. Mrs.
Stearnan, in the District Supreme

PATENT OFFICE
SHIFT ST|RS
SENATORS
New Discord Between Cool
idge and Senate Arises.
Harrison Attacks Legality

Another element Of discord be-
tween President Coolidge and the
Senate has appeared-the assump-
ton of control by Secretary of Com
merce Hoover over the reorganiZa-
ton plans Of the departments.
The transfer of the Patent Office
from the Interior to the Commerce
Department is resented by those Sen
ators who believe that this action
should have awaited the passage
Of the reorganization measure oy
Congress. and are inclined TO 1ues-
ton it's legality.
Senator Pat Harrison declares en-
phatically that reorganization plans
for the Federal establishment should
not be effected by executive order,
and SAYS that Congress may yet set
aside the transfer of jurisdiction over
the Patent Office.
President Coolidge, however, is in
clined 10 proceed with the work OF
reorga MIA ton wherever possible,
although he does not know whether
the proposed transfer of the Bureau
Of Mines to the Department of Com
merce is feasible. If such a trans
fer Is made only the scientific func-
lions Of the bureau, under the law
can come under the jurisdiction OF
Secretary Hoover.
The duties of the bureau with re-
spect to oil leases, purchase Of fuel
supplies for the Government, etc,
would have to remain under the
Secretary of the Interior.
When Congress reconvenes next
December the entire question of led
eral reorganization will be given a
thorough airing. Along with the
Congressional Commission on Re
organization Secretary Hoover will
play a leading part in the enact
ment of the legislation. it is ex-
neCted.

INSPECTOR Headly said "T want to

At this afternoons conference with

However, if his eyesight IL too
bad to drive a car, and he fails to

To Establish Speed Limit.
Mr.. Eldridge's first task will be
the establishment Of a speed limit
for Washington. He must make a
recommendation on speed before
May 2, the date the major pro-
visions of the traffic law become
effective.
The law provides that the speed
limit in the downtown sections
shall be not more than twenty-five
miles an hour and that the limit
in the outlying sections and arterial
highways shall be designated by
the Director Of Traffic.
Another important task is the
designation of arterial highways
and the installation of traffic light
ing signals. Mr.. Eldridge's job is
to select the aterial highways and
devise lighting signals.
Question of New Permits.
The question OF the issuance Of
operators permits In is now before
Corporation Counsel Frank Stephens.
There is some question whether
motorists will have to get new per-
mits in May. Commissioner Rudolph
does not believe new permits will
be necessary until March 81. 1925.
He says it Is impossible to issue
new permits in the next few
months.
Mr.. Eldridge is forty-one years
old. He lives at 1889 Lanier place
northwest. He has lived in Wash
ington for more than 80 years, 25
years of which he was connected
with the Bureau of Public Roads,
Department Of Agriculture. Since
1919 he has been associated with
the American Automobile Associa-
ton, for number Of months serv.
ing as chairman Of the board OF
Directors.
Score Of Candidates.
Before making the final selec-
ton we looked over a field Of a
score Of candidates." Engineer Com
missioner J. Frankling Bell said.
1--WE sought a man experienced in
traffic Snatters and with a force
full personality; a man in whom we
could place the utmost confidence
In Mr. Eldridge, we believe we have
the right man.
1.-THE Commissioners desire that
the Director of Traffic shall take
charge of traffic.
Will Cooperate With Him.
The Commissioners declared that
In past years they have spen: much
time on traffic matters.
Now that we have a director of
traffic, we will virtually wash our
hands Of traffic matters" ona Of
the Commissioners said. Traffic
will be his Job. Our job will be to
cooperate with him in doing a good
Job"
Mr.. Eldridge last night conferred
with several OF his close friends.
They urged him to accept, pointing
out that it would give him an op.
portunity to improve traffic con-
dttions here and make Washington
a model traffic CITY.
