McCARL is SUED BY TWO
MORE NAVAL OFFICERS

Two more naval officers came
into court today challenging the
authority of J. Raymond McCarl,
comptroller general, to deduct 20
per cent from their pay envelopes
for alleged erroneous over-pay-
ments. They are Commander Frank
c. McCord and Lieutenant Thomas
c. Latimer. These individual suits
are the result of a ruling by
Justice Hoehling that the officers
may not group themselves in one
suit.

60 EASY, IS
OR[)ER,F
FIRST 10
DAYS
Police Told to Be Strict Only
With Motorists Who Break \
Major Rules

The new traffic code, revising
speed, parking, brake, headlight,
and other regulations, goes into
effect at midnight.
For ten days, however, no ar
rests will be made for violation
Of minor regulations, police during
this period being ordered to
carry on q campaign q educa-
tion.
M. o. Eldridge, Washington's
first director Of traffic, who
drafted the new code, declared to-
dav that with the new regula-
tions he hoped to bring about
the following:
Reduction in traffic deaths,
injuries, and accidents.
Speeding up traffic.
Elimination Of congestion as
far as possible.
Safety, Main object.
THE new code Is not drastic" he
declared in discussing it today. 1T
was drafted to make the streets Of
washington safer for everybody. It
is my hope that the National CAPT
tai will soon see a reduction in
traffic fatalities and injuries"
The full effect OF the new code
will not be materially felt until
Monday, when the parking regula-
tons become effective. A corps Of
employees Of the police department
will start out tonight to put UP
about 500 signs indicating the hours
during which parking is absolutely
prohibited on certain streets. The
signs have q green background with
white lettering.
Motorists coming downtown Mon
day should look for these signs be-
fore parking their machines" Di
rector Eldridge said. There need
be no confusion Monday morning,
for on every street on which park
ing is limited or prohibited there
viii be signs"
Ignorance No Excuse.
Ten thousand copies Of the new
code were received from the printer
distributed to policemen. The rest
are being held for distribution
among motorists.
at is my hope" said Director
Eldridge today, that every notorist
will take the trouble to study the
new regulations carefully. Ig-
norance Of the regulations Is no
excuse for violation. The new
rules are available to every one,
and within a reasonable time every
motorist in washington should
know them.
"I hope that motorists win realize
the necessity for strict obeyance of
all the rules. This will, undoubted
ly, cut down traffic deaths and &C
cidents in Washington. 1t is to the
interest OF every person in Wash
ington that these regulations be
closely observed"
The first result OF the new regur
lations is expected to be a material
reduction in speeding arrests. The
limit of eighteen miles an hour is
supplanted by a twenty-two-mile
limit. There are no specific speeds
for crossing intersections and turn
ing corners, but motorists are re-
quired to drive at reasonable
speed.
The twenty-two-mile limit, while
effective throughout every part of
the District, does not necessarily
permit the use of this speed at all
times, under all circumstances. In
sections and other parts
of the city where a twenty-two.mile
speed would be dangerous, motorists
driving at such a speed will be
