TRUCKS CARRY PENINSULA
PRODUCTS

That the truck movement carrying
Del Mar-Va products to various markets
has reached i'm pressive proportions is
evidenced in report just completed by
the Del Mar-Va Eastern Shore Associ3-
ton, covering the past fivei months of
the present year. This period is accept
edas being the height Of the shi piping
season, altho it does not include. ship
ments of broccoli and turnip green's
early in the Spring.
From the reports of the Delaware
State Highway weighing stations. which
keep accurate and detailed records of
the truck traffic. showing loading poiHl
destination, nature of load, as well al
gross and net weight. the figure
were tabulated.
While the Association explains than
there is undoubtedly material hauling
by trucks of Del-Mar-Va commodities
from the Eastern Shore of Maryland
counties which does not pass thru Del
aware and is therefore unrecorded, in
vestigation shows that a majority Of
trucks from the agricultural section Of
the Peninsula and especially those going
to markets other than Baltimore and
Washington. must weigh at one of the
several Delaware stations. For this
reason the figures compiled are said TO
cover at least 50 per cent of this traffic.
This may be used as an accurate foun-
dalton to estimate total for the entire
Peninsula.
During the months of May. June,
July, August and Sept. ~, 300 trucks
were weighed at the Delaware stations.
This was an average of $500 per
month or allowing 26 days each month
as shipping days, an average of 5.343.
More than half of this number carried
cantlaoupes. May was first with a, 700
trucks recorded and of that number
1871 carried strawberries. June fol-
lowed with 2,832, strawberries. beansi
cabbage, mixed loads and seafoodl

moditles. July was fourth with 2.453

was the lowest with I.7rz, pdtatoes
totaling 400; watermelons 276A and

A new system of traffic control
for Dupont Circle is sponsored by
William T. Harland, head, of the
Traffic Bureau.
Twenty lights, under Harland's
plan, would be placed at intersec'
tions entering the circle and at
points within the circle. Vehicular
traffic will move into and around the
circle on a green light which will
show for, IS seconds. At the end
of that period, an amber light will
allow vehicles to clear the intersec-
ton for five seconds. after which
red will show, together with the
amber, for Is seconds. Pedestrians
will then cross at any convenient
point on the circle.
At the end of this period, the. am
Der light will go off and the red
light will keep traffic halted while
another five seconds the red will
change to green and traffic will be
resumed for another As seconds.
LII outlining this plan to the Du.
pont Citizens Association in the
Mayflower hotel last night, Harland
also declared that the greatest single

ish it eventually, he declared.

PLANS

international News Service


President Hoover plans far reach
ing reorganization of Government
departments before the end of the
first year of his Administration, 1t
was learned today.
The change of greatest interest to
the general public, 1t was said, viii
be the transfer of the prohibition
enforcement bureau from the
Treasury to the Justice Department.
The greatest change. however,
would come in the Interior Depart
ment. This would be reorF liked
into a virtual Department of Edu'
cation and Public Welfare. The
plan, subject, of course, to change,
would eliminate the necessity OF
adding a new department by re-
distributing the present depart.
mental functions among the 10
present departments.
For Regular Session
The President probably win have
his plan of reorganization ready
within a month or two for submits
sion to Congress. At present, 1t
was said, he does not intend to
submit it to Congress until it re-
assemblies in regular session next
December. The President was said
to feel Congress has enough rob
lens to solve at the special ses
sion, In with tariff and farm relief
The present plan. 1t was said
would make the Department of In
terror supreme in educational, pub
lie welfare and veteran matters
It would involve the transfer int
the Interior Department of the
United States Veterans Bureau. the
Federal Board for Vocational Edu
abled Soldiers, and the United
States Soldiers Homes. The Pen
sion Bureau, the Indian Affairs Blu
reau and the Bureau of Education
would be retained. with the latter
broadened in scope.
Many present functions OF the
Interior Department would be trans
ferred to other departments tC
keep it from getting top-heavy
The Bureau of Reclamation. the
National Park Service, the General
Land Office and the Geological Sur
vey would be transferred. probably
into the Department of Agricul
ture. though possibly into the Com
merce Department.

This reorganization would leave
the Agriculture Department hand
ling all land matters; the interior
Department handling human affairs
The selection Of DR.. Ray Lyman
Wilbur, noted Stanford University
educator. as his Secretary of In
