Representative Bowman has
just Dragged off a lot Of high
powered and possibly much de.
sired publicity for himself by his
recent tour Of Washington alleys
I have no ak to grind with the
Solon, but want to register my
belief that the local alley and
tenement situation is better than
that in any city in the country
as large or larger than Washing
ton.
The only objection I have to
the tour and the resultant pub.
licity is that people may get the
impression that our city Is af.
flicted with slums and that a
major portion of the population
inhabits alleys and novels. Any
detrimental housing situation here
Of course, should be Immediately
remedied but there Is no neces.
sity for instituting what amounts
to a crusade. I believe, indeed,
that the Representative appeared
in just a slightly comical light
when he set about his recent tour
He was the only Congressman to
appear for the little journey. The
sights he raved about we're not
at all new, Washingtonians know
that there are sore spots in their
city just as there are sore spots
in any other city, and other
members of Congress know it, too.
But they seem to realize that such
tours around the city are unnec-
essary and are apt to do more
harm than good as they attract
solely to one phase of the city's
life, emphasizing the presence Of
a small slum section and ignoring
the presence Of the many hand
some and desirable neighborhoods.
If the local slurns are soon
abolished. as all Of us naturally
hope, then, in my opinion, at
least, no special thanks will be
due Representative Bowman as
he discovered no new facts, but
simply advocated anew what every
local resident and many Of the
members Of both houses of Con
greSs have advocated steadily fc.'

confusing to tourists. But, after
all. there are more Washington
drivers on the streets here than
tourists, and the matter to be
considered is, primarily, the bet
terment OF traffic conditions, and
the safety of traffic handling
methods.
The Hoover turn is undoubtedly
more dangerous than the inside
turn, because 1t forces the cal
turning to cut across a line OF
moving traffic. On a crowded
street, a motorist making a Hoover
turn is in constant danger OF
having another machine crash
into the middle Of his car. The
lett.turn problem has engaged
the attention Of traffic experts
Tor a long time, and it seems
certain that the method now in
use here is at least a step for.
ward, because Of it's safety.
There Is nothing complicated
about the present type Of turn.
and there is no reason why out.
