Football season Is almost here for

cerned. There must be more than
500 youths participating In practice

number to the squad makes 500

These youths are learning qualities
that they cannot get IN the class

| HOUR PARKING
IS SCORED
~ WV

The trouble with the local traffic
situation is rooted in the one-hour
parking regulation, according to
Hugh M. F'rampton, Washington
lawyer and recorder of the Citizens
ADVISORY Council.
In q letter addressed to Traffic
Director William H. Harland.
Frampton declared the regulation
simply increases the downtown
traffic problem, because If auto
mobiles are actually moved hourly,
the traffic flow is increased many
times.
THE regulation does not appear
to result in increasing the number
Of parking spaces" Frampton's let.
ter stated, nor does it appear to
limit the number of machines
driven daily to the downtown dis
trict.
1T seems to result merely in the
shifting of machines from one park
Ing space to another, hence the net
result Of the regulation apparently
is that automobiles exchange park.
ing positions several times daily.
This situation simply multiplies the
downtown traffic problem and
affords relief to no one."

A motley perspiring throng. vic,
Tins of the weekend activities Of

facilities Of the Traffic Court.
Every seta in the courtroom,
which is only 40 feet square, was
occupied and many motorists who
ran afoul OF Major Pratt's traffic
drive sat ON windowsills or stood
up. The overflow occupied an adj
jacent hallway.
An unprecedented number of po-
licemen. awaiting to testify against
those arrested, could not be accom-
modtaed in the courts witness room
and many of the officers also stood
in the hallway.
Although Traffic Court opens
theoretically at a. M. it was
hours before the court began to

victims OF the drive waited with
more or less patience during the
interim.
1t was predicted by court officials
that the number of cases heard
during the day would reach well

The grand jury reported to
Chief Justice Walter /. Mccoy
today that local authorities
were ,powerless to cope with
the loan shark situation in the
District unless additional legis-
lation is enacted to prohibit
The charging of excessive In
terest.
The need of such legislation Is in,
dicated by the weakness of the ex-
listing law, which simply imposes
forfeiture of interest on the offend.
ing lender. That penalty is con
tanned in the District Code and is
the only manner in which the local
government can deal with the evil.
The Federal Penal Code is devoid OF
any definition Of usury, the report
continues.
The need for institutions making
small loans to salarfed people unable
to offer security other than their
character is admitted in the report.
The practice of some lenders in ex-
acting extorti0nate premiums under
the guise of fees and other subter-
fuges is scored. The practice is
somewhat justified, the Grand Jury
says, because of the high risk as
summed by the lender.
The local Real Estate Board is
asked to assist the District Attorney
IN the matter of regulating real es.
tate loans and in wedding out some
money lenders who ply their trade
under the guise of real estate
brokers.
