Bull DING
PROGRAM
A TEST

New developments in the
senatorial investigation of
Washington's traffic problem
came thick and fast today
when the traffic subcommittee
OF the Senate District Commit
tee heard local police officials
on various phases Of the sit
nation.
( Inspector e. W. Brown. in charge
OF the Traffic Bureau. revealed that
lack of cooperation between the Fed
eral and District governments in
the Federal building program here
threatens a chaotic traffic condition
in downtown Washington.
He told the subcommittee that,
contrary to previous understanding,
no provision for underground garages
or parking space is being made in
the construction of the new group
of Federal buildings south of Penn
sylvania Avenue.
Radical Changes
He said, moreover, that the plan
Tor the development of downtown
Washington contemplate a number
of radical street changes to harmo-
nize with the new buildings. He
mentioned specifically a proposed
park treatment at Fourteenth Street
and Pennsylvania Avenue which
would make necessary right and
left hand turn in crossing the Ave
nue..
Several streets running into the
Avenue also will find their traffic
materially affected by the building
project, Brown said.
The subcommittee decided to call
in William P. Emo, internationally
known traffic expert, to assist the
; Senators in untangling Washing
tons traffic. Senator Daniel O..
Hastings, Delaware, chairman of the
subcommittee, was particularly anx-
ious to receive a report on the local
situation from an expert OF Eno's
standing.
All-Night Parking
A score of questions relating to
Washington's traffic arose during
the discussion today. with the prob
lem of all-night parking proving the
most controversial of the lot.
Senator Hastings offered the sug-
gestion that abolition of all-night
parking might be started by ban
ming cars from parking on one
siA, of a. street. Senator Hamilton
F, Kean. of New Jersey. the out.
standing foe of all-night parking,
said the suggestion was acceptable
to him, but urged that some start
be made, with view to eventual
abolition of all-night parking
throughout the city.
The matter of providing sufficient
garages for Washington to take
care of the thousands of cars which
would be forced off the streets by
prohibition Of downtown parking
and similar restrictions in the resi-
Dental district, was taken up by
the subcommittee and found to be
one Of the most ticklish subjects
yet encountered.
Tt was discovered that changes in
the zoning laws would be necessary
to allow suitable garages in resi-
Dental areas and that an under
ground garage under the Ellipse
would be required to carry out such
provisions.
Police Force Busy
Major Henry G. Pratt, Superin-
tendent of Police, told the subcom-
mittee that his present force has
all that it can do to maintain a
show of enforcement on the present
traffic regulations and that addi-
tional men would be needed if any
further restriction were to be en-
forced.

that no doctor had been called. The

They said that Mrs. May Otis

"We frankly have reviewed all the
questions which might give rise to
friction between our peoples with
gratifying progress"
Secretary of State Stimson said
today the expectations of results
from the conference between the
President and prime minister had
been realized abundantly. Great
Britain's issuance of invitations to
the f1ve-power conference while the
two men were i'll camp was coinci-
dental largely, he said.
He did not know of any major
difficulties which had remained to
be considered prior to the camping
trip and believed the decision to
send out invitations did not depend
upon the trend of conversation be-
tween Mr.. Hoover and Mr.. Mac
Donald.
Neither war debts nor tariffs were
discussed, Stimson said.

He stuck his thumb in his vest
and his tone was pleasing. He did
not read his speech but occasionally
glanced at notes which he placed
upon the table Of the Vice-Presi-
dent, who stepped down from his

BY FRANK GETTY
United Press Sports Editor

CHICAGO, Oct. 7,--The eve of
another world series, poSt-season
feature of baseball, finds the con-
tenders evenly matched and both
clubs ready for the brief but bitter
struggle.
To an impartial observer it ap-
pears that the Chicago Cubs have
and excellent chance of wiping out
memories of successive four-game
victories for the American League
and Of defeating the Philadelphia
Athletics this year.
1t is true the betting odds favor
the American League champions
but in baseball wagering by no
means is indicative of eventual vic
tory.
Both clubs have enjoyed the best
OF luck as far as personnel is con-
cerned. The Athletics have come
through a highly successful season
with all their regulars and replace
ments intact.
The Cubs lost their captain and
first baseman, Charley Grimm, for
about six weeks, but he is back, as
good as ever.
Cubs Have Big Edge
Joe Mccarthy manager of the Ma
tional League champions, an
nounced this morning that Char
ley Root would be his starting pitch
er. Connie Mack, whose Athletics
were due here at noon, said he
would not tell who would start l1n-
til Tuesday, but it is no secret that
it will be Lefty Grove.
Mccarthy told the United Press
today that his starting pitcher will
be Root, 30-year-old right-hander
who led the National league pitchers
this season with nineteen games
won and six lost.
For the second game Wednesday,
the Cubs manager has chosen
Perce CPat) Malone, who is the
Cubs second best right handler.
The AS will bank on Groves
binding speed despite the fact that
the Cubs have a reputation for
effectiveness against Southpaws.
The club which wins the first
game in a world series enjoys a tre-
mendous advantage, both psycholog-
ical and mathematical. In the forth
coming series everything fayors the
Cubs. They are opening at home, on
field which will be strange to their
rivals, and they have in their lineup
number of money players who ara
ready to put in their best licks.
No series in recent years has
aroused the strenuous enthusiasm
which will be on tap this week, and
possibly next.
Arrangements Thorough
Local enthusiasm over the series
has reached a peak. The weather
forecast for the series is favorable,
which is just as we'll, since post
ponements would interfere seriously
with arrangements. Two games will
be played in Chicago, on Tuesday
and Wednesday, after which the
clubs will journey to Shibe Park,
Philadelphia.
Three veteran unpires and one
comparative newcomer will offlciate
during the series. Bill KLEIN and
Bill Dineen have been calling 'em
for more than twenty years. Char
ley Moran, another of the National
Leagues nominees, has been WELD
ing an indicator for a dozen seasons.
Roy Van Graflan, who will be the
fourth arbiter in the coming series,
has been up in fast company only
couple of years, but is recognized
as one of the best. incidentally, he
is protege of KLEIN.
