!0VERLAPPED AT
WATERS EDGE
Prosecution Witness Testified
in Colonel Mitchell
Court martial

Washington, Nov. 27.--(P)-Undcr
Il shower of objections from the de-
fense, which resulted in the produc-
tion in evidence Of some Of the Sc
crct files Of the war department.. the
prosecution in the court martial
trial Of Colonel William Mitchell set
out today to answer the coloncl's
charges Of national incompetcncy in
the air.
The first witness called, Brigadier
General Leroy Eltinge. who was an
umpire in the recent Hawaiian
maneuvers, disputed the defense con
tcntion that the war department has
no plan for defense in the Pacific.
The witness added, however. that
these plans are SO highly confidcn
tal that they should not be talked
about, and the point was not pressed.
Cooperation Lacking
The witness conceded that there
was no Satisfactory cooperation" be-
tween the army and navy air SER
vices during the Hawaiian maneuvcrs.
Asked for the reason he replied:
"The army and navy air services
had not had preliminary joint eXcr
cises. They were, "A result, not
able to combine their material and
men into Il smooth working machine
"How would you remedy such a
situation ?" he was asked.
by making differences in the tao
tical organization Of the land forces
and holding combined tests in time
of peace
Branches Overlappcd
The army, the general said, was
organized primarily for duty on land.
the navy for duty on water. and "they
overlapped at the shore line"
"An additional service which over
Tapped both of them," he said, refer
ring to Colonel Mitchell's proposal for
a separate air service. would make
coordination absolutely impossible
The general pronounced the Hawai-
ian n,aneuvers "success.' except
that they had to be curtailed con the
ground of economy"

j. S. FILES APPEAL
IN PACKERS CASE
Government Sees Upsetting
of All Consent DEGREES in
Courts Ruling.

The Government filed a petition
yesterday in the Court of Appeals for
a special appeal from the decision of
the District of Columbia Supreme
Court suspending operation of the
packers consent decree
The decision rendered by Justice
Bailey suspended the decree under
which the packers agreed to confine
themselves strictly to the meat pack
Ing industry until further order of the
court. An earlier order by the same
court suspended it's operation solely
with regard to the California Co
operative Canneries, who had inter
Vened as a party at interest
Opens Wide Loophole.
With the petition the Government
presented a brief in which it was
contended that If the suspension or
der stands it would mean that out
S1ders could intervene and upset con-
sent DEGREES obtained in anti trust
suits and that it might make il nee
essary for the Government to bring
in as parties any and all parties
having contracts with corporal tions
so enjoined
III was further held that the court
suspended the decree without the
nearing or evidence to eSta blish proof
OF arguments of the intervening pc
tltloners, and the Government asked
mat the case be remanded to the
District or Columbia Supreme Court
for review
An appeal filed Friday by Armour
o. 90. and Swift & Co asked that the
suspension of the decree be made more
sweeping SO as to vacate it entirely.

They will both attain the same end
If properly enforced Director Ed
ridge, however, intends to make
haste slowly" and to have the ques-
tion thoroughly thrashed out before
action is taken.
The plans are briefly this: The first
is to prohibit the use of headlights on
certain designated streets which are
considered to have sufficient illumina-
ton, and the second is to work out
some plan whereby motorists will be
allowed to use their headlights on
thoroughfares Illuminated by gas, but
not on those controlled by electricity
Difficulties Seen.
Although the first plan will multiply
the motorists difficulty in trying to
keep abreast of the regulations, at the
present 1t Is considered the most fea-
sible because of the fact that there
are many streets lighted by electricity
on which 1t is necessary to use head
lights. Connecticut avenue from
Cleveland Park to Chevy Chase Circle
is cited as one of these.
Mr.. Eldridge. Col. Moeller and Mai.
r. f. Carlson of the Bureau of Stand
ards and a member of the Society of
the Automotive Engineers are making
a careful study of the entire head
light question. Maj. Carlson, who Is
an expert on illumination. has been
making a careful check-up on night
driving since the law went into eff
feet. Whatever plan is finally adopted
will be decided upon by these three
men.
Correction Of the use of headlights
in the downtown section and on we'll
lighted streets with the gradual elimi-
nation Of all improperly adjusted
lights will make night driving In
Washington not a matter OF extreme
hazard, as 1t Is at present, but one or
safety, they believe.
Co-operation from the individual
motorist to bring about this desired
end is most important The regula-
tion in regard to focus. candle power,
and height of light is patterned after
the best standards Of headlight regula-
ton throughout the United States. No
Washington motorist will find himself
in difficulties while touring in other
States If he will adjust his lights ac-
cording to the District code.
Permission to use these lights when
necessary for safety in driving In the
dimly lighted streets is granted Tor
the first time in the history of the
District and should not be abused:
Bright lights should only be USED
where visibility is impaired and should
be dimmed Immediately on reaching
we'll lighted territory.
If motorists do not carry the spirit
and intent of the instructions issued
to them it is extremely probable that
arrests will follow. 1t is the deter
mination of the traffic director that
traffic conditions in the National Cap
ital shall set a standard for the entire
country and if the motorists patiently
refuse to obey any section of the reg
ulations steps will be taken to bring
about an immediate reform.

in one place, north of Franz Joseph
Land, for about year. Then finally,
she slipped out into free water.
What held her back? Not Franz
Joseph Land. for she was too far
north. 1 think it was land near the
pole.
when I was living on Rudolph
Island, the farthest north part of
Franz Joseph Land, there was open
water to the northwest nearly all the
year around, but solid ice to the east
all the year around. Something north
of Franz Joseph Land was acting as a
barrier.

water rose and the freighter was re-

PARTY BELIEVED SAFE.
StefanssOn Thinks Flyers Went to
Northern Alaska.

NEW YORK. May % OFF
Roald Amundsen and his party are
not heard from before Monday, the
chances are about even that he has
landed on the north coast of Alaska
and now is safe there, Vihjalmar
Stefansson, noted Arctic explorer, said
today. He expressed the opinion that
it is likely Amundsen. instead of
stopping at the pole, has continued
across the Arctic. .-
II never did believe that Amundsen
would stop at the North Pole if his
machines were going WELL" said Mr..
Stefansson. by going to the pole
and returning he would have an
achievement of great popular, but
little scientific interest. But. by con-
tinuing to Alaska, Amundsen would
fly across the only unexplored area
in the Northern Hemisphere, either
discovering land or demonstrating its
absence"
Distance Fourth Greater.
The distance from the pole to Alaska
is only about a fourth greater than
that back to Spitzbergen. Mr.. Stefans-
sen continued, and could easily be ac-
complished with the fuel carried.
"On landing in northern Alaska, Or
anywhere else in the Arctic Mr..
Stefanssen said, IAN aviator has. 1t
seems to me. about a $3.50 chance of
damaging his machine so it cannot
rise again. With no damage we might,
according to this reasoning. expect
one or both of Amundsen's planes to
appear in Nome or some other Alaskan
town today or any day in the near
future"
Mr.. Stefansson said there were
places along the northern Alaskan
shore where gasoline might be OBJ
tanned for continuing a flight south, if
the planes were not damaged on the
first landing.

TRAFFIC LIGHTING
PLAN IS DELAYED
EIdridge Defers Urging Six
teenth Street for Test
of System.

Although Sixteenth street from II
to streets has been mentioned tenta
lively as the location for the first try
out of automatic traffic signal nghts
in Washington, Traffic Director Eld-
ridge announced last night that he
wants to give further consideration TO
the question before making recon-
mendation to the Commissioners.
Mr.. Eldridge said that he would vel
come suggestions from persons who
have studied local traffic problems as
to the best point at which to make the
initial installation. He also plans to
confer on the subject early this week
with the advisory committee from
various organizations which assisted
him in framing the new traffic code.
Plans Well Defined.
The traffic officials have a well-de-
fined plan as to the streets which will
eventually be controlled by syn
chronized signal lights, but they are
not satisfied yet as to where the in
stallation should be started. In order
to provide this equipment for all the
busy thoroughfares downtown. addi-
tional appropriations will be needed
and in putting in the limited number
of lights that can he purchased with
available funds Mr.. ElJridge wants
to be sure that the proper place is
selected.
1.-The installation of this traffic
signal system requires even more
careful thought than the framing OF
the new regula tions, because these
installations will be of a permanent
character and we want TO be certain
of our plans before we begin, said
Mr.. Eldridge.
Attractive Design Sought.
Another thing to be considered is
that we are working in the National
Capital, and the signal lights we in
stall must be of a design and type
that will fit in with the attractive
ness of the city"
Mr.. Eldridge said 1t is probable
that the lights will be mounted on
ornamental posts in harmony with
those approved by the Fine Arts
Commission for street lighting hx-
lures.
Director Eldridge and his assistant,
Col. Moller, have decided to recon-
mend a three -colored signal scheme,
with red for stop. green for go and
yellow for vehicles desiring to turn
at the intersection.
Director Eldridge yesterday signed
orders for the revocation of the
operators permits for nine drivers,
following receipt of certification from
the court of their conviction recently
of certain violations of the new traffic
laws. These are the first revocations
made by Mr. Eldridge.
