NJ 'MAHON FINDS
SIGN MOVES

Lieut.. Milton D. Smith lost the
final round in a Police Court
battle to convict David G. Johan-
son, 2505 Fourteenth st. N. W.,
Of passing a stop sign when Judge
Mcmahon dismissed the charge.
Lieutenant Smith originally
charged Mr.. Johanson with speed
ing and passing the sign. Judge
Mcmahon dismissed the speeding
charge some days ago. Mr..
Johanson testified at that time
that the officer used unnecessary
force in making the arrest and
ripped a button from his vest.
Mr. Johanson said that the stop
sign was in such a position that
it could not be seen as he passed
from Fuller Street to Sixteenth
Northwest.
Judge Mcmahon visited the
scene on a number of days, only
to find that the stop sign was
moved to a new location each
time. He deferred action in the
case until today, waiting for the
sign to stop moving. He then dis
missed the case.

Rider Blocking 1882 Increases
PIucked at Stormy Session;
Wood DisgruntIed at Action

The specter Of Representative
Woods scheme to cut off an
Federal salary increases in 1882
has been permanently banished
from the halls Of Congress.
The House yesterday fell in line
with the Senate and determined
to expunge the much-discussed
"rider" to the Interior Depart
ment appropriation bill by a vote
Of 169 to lis.
Three times the Wood amend
ment came to a vote in the final
hour Of debate upon the meas
ure, and three times it was re-
jected, despite the strongest eff
forts Of House leaders to "save
the face" Of the Appropriations
Committee.
Wood Is DiSgruntIed
Representative Wood accepted
his defeat in a rather disgruntled
frame OF mind. but announced
that it was final, so far as he
was concerned. He will make no
further attempt to insert 1t In
other general supply measures.
The Senate already has ex-
pressed itself in opposition to the
Wood plan, so that no revival Of
the proposal is looked for In
either house of Congress.
Luther c. Steward, president Of
the Federation Of Federal En-
ployes, said today:
eve are glad that the House
has reversed its previous action.
1t was difficult for us to believe
that either the House or Sem
ate would support such . plan
when its full significance was
apparent. We look for no fur
ther trouble from it,"
Senate Gets Bill
The Interior Department appro-
priation bill will be sent over to
the Senate from the House today.
The Senate Appropriations Com
mittee probably will be ready to
report it to the Senate by next
Thursday.
The program of salary increases
for Federal workers in the next
fiscal year will mean an outlay
of $4,40O,000 from the Treasury.
Under the three-year program out
liiAed by President Hoover, total
appropriation of $14,000,0O0 will
be called Tor in the next to equal
ize salaries in all the grades and
bring them to the point called for
in the Welch act passed by Con-
gress last May.
Issue Is Argued
Opponents of. the Wood plan
who debated the issue on the
floor yesterday included repre-
sentative La Guardia (R0 Of
New York, representative Beatty
(R0 of Maine, and Representa-
tive Frear (R.O of Wisconsin.
Representative Cramton (R.l
of Michigan made q defense OF
Representative Wood and the Ap.
preparation Committee, and Mr..
wood himself made an impas-
stoned plea for his amendment.

OLD SPEED RULE
IS REJECTED

The new rule for speed regula-
ton of automobiles adopted by
the National Conference on Street
and Highway Safety at Washing
ton is based on manner Of driv-
ing instead Of number Of miles
per hour, according to DR.. Miller
McClintock, director Of the Albert
Russell Erskine bureau for street
traffic research of Harvard Uni
versity.
With safe driving as the OBJ
jective, the conference. after In
vestigation Of conditions and laws
in a number of States, decided
that arbitrary fixing Of speed
limits is obsolete, and had neg
ligible effect upon the speeds at
which vehicles are driven.
The basic rule adopted pro-
hibits the driving Of vehicle at:
"a speed which Is greater
than reasonable or proper or
which will not permit the
driver to decrease speed or
stop as may be necessary to
avoid cOlIiding with any per
SON, vehicle or conveyance"
Although certain speeds are
advised for special conditions,
these are designed only as guides
and drivers may be convicted Of
reckless driving even though
their machines may be moving
at the rate Of 5 or 10 miles an
hour.
