SITE WILL BE ASKED
FOR EDISON MEMORIAL
Fess Will Introduce Bill in Con.
gress on Hams Point
Location.

To provide a site at Hams Point for
the Edison National Memorial as agreed
upon with the Fine Arts Commission
and the District Edison National Me-
mortal Committee, Senator Fess of Ohio
agreed today to introduce bill in the
Senate when Congress convenes.
Senator Fess approves the idea of
making the light of the proposed bea =
con at Hams Point the real memorial
to Edison, subordinating the architec-
tural feature of the base to that
thought
THE idea of light. which was Mr..
Eoison's great gift to the world, as his
memorial Is a beautiful Thought and /
am heartily in favor of it," the Senator
said. Il am sure that the architectural
treatment will be artistic and salts
factory"
After it was explained to Senator Tess
by the secretary of the committee, Fair
fax Naulty, that the top Of the archi-
tectural base of the Edison beacon
would be below the dome of the War
College, directly opposite the site, he
felt it would not present a hazard to
aviation.
1t was arranged that members CT the
Edison Memorial Committee would call
on the District Commissioners later to-
day to present the matter for their con-
sideration.
Mr. Naulty again emphasized no
public subscriptions for the memorial
would be solicited and that neither the
Federal nor District governments would
be put to any expense for its erection,
of maintenance.

STAGGERED WORK
PLAN ABANDONED
District Commissioners Drop
Schedule Opposed by 4
Welfare Groups.

The District Commissioners. 1t was
learned today have abandoned their
plans to divide the working week of
800 low-paid per diem employees so as
to save the jobs of 400 of them during
the coming Winter and take on 400
extra workers on half time.
It was learned no formal action will
be taken on the plan, announced last
week, but it will be allowed to die a
natural death. Since the plan never
found its way into any official docu-
ment, one official expressed the opinion
it really never came to life in the first
place.
Opposed by Charity Groups.
The plan was greeted with unani-
nous disappToval by all charitable and
welfare organizations in the District
who expressed their views, and the Com
missionerS have accepted their judg-
ment.
At a meeting of representatives OF
these welfare organizations with the
Commissioners last week the plan was
variously described as economically
unsound" and socially unjust" 1t was
pointed out its execution would spread
the area of humiliation" and, as to
those put on half-tin1e work, the per
capita cost of charitable administration
would be doubled
Favor Public Appeal.
The relief organizations suggested an
appeal to Congress and wealthy citizens
of the District for aid in caring for
the unemployed. Whether the Com
missioners will make any appeal for aid
except in the way of supporting tho
Community Chest, however, is not
known
The Districts appropriations for tho
coming Winter are already fixed, al
though they could be supplemented by
deficiency appropriation at the next
session should Congress see fit.

POSTAL DEPT. SITE
Erection of Fence Started
Despite Blocking of Ter
minaI Removal.

Three more old buildings on the site
OF the new Post Office Department will
be torn down, beginning next week
but the terminal of the Mount Vernon
Alexandria g. Washington Railway
Twelfth street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue., will be left standing temporarily
with a high board fence around it.
This procedure was ordered today as
the Treasury Department proceeded as
rapidly as possible in the face of the
difficulties placed in its way by the
court fight of the railway to remain
on the ground.
Fence Being Erected.
The board fence now is being erected
around the whole area of the Post
once Department and will soon inclose
entirely the terminal building, gates
will have to be left in the fence how
ever, in order to enable streets cars
to pass through the, Post Office site
and to enable passengers to get to and
from the terminal.
The old buildings which are to diSap-
pear shortly include two structures on
the corner of Twelfth and D streets,
containing q restaurant, a bus station
soft drink and confectionery store and
the brick structures which formerly was
the Star Service Station at the corner
VI 1WeILn anu " SLIeeLS.
Occupants of these structures will
move out early next week.
Court Blocks Action.
Court proceedings now prevent the
Treasury from tearing up the railway
tracks for at least go days, within which
time a decision must be had from the
Court Of Appeals in the Injunction pc
tition of the railway to prevent the
Government from taking the rails with
out compensation.
Justice Adkins denied the injunc-
ton, but pending appeal to the Court
of Appeals the Government Is under
the restriction OF what amounts to a
temporary injunction against removal
of the tracks.
It is understood the case will be
pressed for early action before the
Court of Appeals.
If the railway does not get out after
q decision by the Court Of Appeals, 1t
is known that the Treasury plans to
go to Congress. to help by direct legis-
lative action to force the railway out
of the building area.

DOOM OF CIVILIZATION PAINTED
BY NOTED PSYCHOLOGIST HERE
Schmalhausen Says Communism and Religion Only
Choices to Avoid Psychology of Death.

The Gloomy Dean Inge Of England
was out-gloomed in an address by DR..
Samuel Schmalhausen before the OPEN
ing session of the Jewish Community
Center national forum last night.
Future civilization and the individual
are doomed to the clutches of the
morbidity twins, wrack and ruin, in
the word picture sketched by the
eminent New York psychiatrist who
recently devoted a volume to explana-
ton of why We Misbehave." Although
most of us are unaware of it, we are,
or will be, trapped by death psychosis"
and condemned to seek an outlet "in
amusement drinks, money, power, fun"
and other unhappy commodities.
If the future is black. the present is
at least dark gray, the speaker in
timated, what with the postwar gen.

and communism, which is, when you
think about it, merely "a brave at
tempt to overcome the psychology OF
death" And "rethinking everything, .
the doctor suggested, is one Of our
greatest needs.
For instance there is the family
which DR.. Schmalhausen encompasses
with the novel definition, "a sort OF
interesting lunatic asylum" confronted
with disintegrating forces certain to
overcome it.
"The sissies of history" have given
the world much that Is beautiful in
art while Americas Edisons, Fords
Rockefellers and Presidents have all
lacked culture and humane interest
in life"
In fact, the doctor asserted, "civiliza-
ton is in its worst plight In history"

New Apparatus to Be Install
ed in Two Northwest Areas
This Winter.
$4,000 APPROPRIATION
is AVAILABLE FOR WORK
Advisory Council Approves Plan
for Smoother Flow Of
Vehicles.

With the Traffic Advisory Council ap-
proving of plans for extending the
flexible traffic control system to. the
traffic lights in the downtown bust
ness section, traffic officials today pre-
pared to advertise for bids for the nee
essary apparatus to make the change.
The new control system will be in
stalled in zones / and 2. Zone / Is
bounded by Massachusetts, avenue on
the north, Constitution avenue on the
south, Sixth street on the east, and
Fifteenth street on the west. The
boundaries Of Zone 2 are Fifteenth
street on the east, Eighteenth street
on the west, Florida avenue on the
north and Pennsylvania avenue on the
south.
$4,000 Fund Available.
An appropriation of $25, 900 is avail
able for purchase of new timing de-
vices needed to transform the present
progressive system into the newer f1ex-
ible control system. Two master timers
and several secondary timers are to be
ordered and as soon as they arrive the
work of installation will be started
Traffic officials hope to have the new
system in operation by February D.
when a large number Of visitors is ex-
pected in Washington for the George
Washington Bicentennial celebration.
The lights in each zone will be con-
trolled by a master timer. The master
timer for zone / will be placed in No.
IA Engine House on Eighth street be-
tween D and E streets. The zone 2
master timer will be at Fifteenth and
% m Hn
locations, as plans of traff1c authori-
ties contemplate the location Of mas
ter timers for all traffic lights in the
District in the new municipal center
area.
Permits Varied Timing.
The secondary timers will be placed
at each intersection having a traffic
light. These will permit traffic off,
Gals to vary the timing at different
intersections in accordance with the
flow of traffic and still maintain CO.
ordination with the master timers, thus
enabling through traffic to travel at a
definite speed without interference.
Under the present system 1t Is i'm
possible to vary the timing at the inter-
sections as an entire network Of lights
must be kept in step with the master
timer.
The first flexible trafic control sys-
tenn was installed on Rhode Island
avenue and has been In successful OPP
Grafton for about three months. Trafic
officials have found it expedites the
movement of traffic and causes less
delay to vehicles stopped by a red light.
Specifications for the new timers
and other equipment have been drawn
and bids will be advertised before the
close of the week.

TAXI FIRM TURNS
TO RADIO IN ROW
Attorney Attacks Utilities Or.
der, Holding Public Wants
Zone Rates.

The City Cab Co. turned to radio last
night as the first move In its fight
against the recent order Of the Public
Utilities Commission abolishing taxicab
zone rates and substituting q meter
charge beginning January 10.
Albert w. Jacobson, attorney for the
company, In a speech broadcast by
WMAL, charged the commissions ac-
ton was inspired by the two street
railway companies to deprive the pub
lie of the present low-rate taxicab
transportation. The zone system, he
said, has taken taxicab riding out OF
the class Of Injuries, and 20 months of
operation under this plan conclusively
demonstrated its public appeal.
Holds Meters Disliked.
The taxi-riding public does not like
ticking Of a meter, he said quickens
the beating of the passengers heart.
The appeal of the zone rate Is in the
riders knowledge of the amount of his
fare when he gets into a cab.
The fiat rate cab" Jacobson de-
clared. has been a medium of bring
ing low rates to the public and has
put aside rates which were excessively
high. The zone system has met with
public approval by its response. The
complaints before the Public Utilities
Commission are not the public, but
those who we're compelled to reduce
their rates by the advent OF the low
rate cabs and who were affected by
a service which is more commensurate
with the charge therefor than is the
service which they are rendering"
Sees Loss Of Drivers Jobs.
jacobson also said that abolition OF
the zone system will so decrease the use
of taxicabS that q large number OF
drivers would be forced out OF work
at a critical time.
IF such q number Of patrons as
estimated would cease TO use taxlcabs
because Of abolition of zone rates" he
declared, ut follows that thousands OF
operators would be put out Of work. This
would result in a great loss in reve-
nues to business generally In the Dis
trict of Columbia and Is subject matter
of very serious consideration by fair
minded public citizens"
Jacobson also paid tribute to Rich
mond B. Keech, peoples counsel. be-
fore the Public Utilities Commission
for his fight against the meter rate.
