BORAH APPEALS
FOR RUSSIAN
RECOGNITION
Senate Foreign Relations Head
on Air Urges Trade Pact;
Sees Arms Cut Hope Dim

The issue of recognizing Russia
was revived today by Senator
Borah R0 of Idaho, chairman
Of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee. as a result of his ap-
peal in a radio interview, ma
tionally broadcast, for an i'm
mediate American trade agree
ment with the Soviet Republic.
American recognition Of the
Soviet, BOrah told his radio audi
ence, would have little effect on
Russia but would increase Ameri-
can trade with the Far East. He
termed Russia the "mOSt stupen-
dOuS reality in international af-
fairs"
Doesn't Expect Arms Cut
Answering questions of his
radio interviewer, Borah also in
dorsed the Stimson policy toward
South American and PanAmeri-
can nations, termed the World
Court but an administrative
. agent for enforcement Of the
Versailles treaty" and expressed
little hope of real land disarma-
ment at the coming Geneva par
ley.
He blamed the dispute over the
proposed German-Austrian trade
agreement, the naval race be-
tween France and Italy. and the
Russian question as barriers to
real disarmament.
Borah was inSiStent that the
Hoover Administration recognize
Russia. He pointed out that Ger
many and italy had negotiated
trade agreements with Soviet, net
ting their industries huge profits,
while another italian, Polish,
a Finnish, and a French commits
sion were en- route or about to
visit Russia to negotiate other
contracts. He observed:
1--WE could safely absorb some
Of that trade. It seems we need
that trade and it seems too
that the American people are
strong enough in mind and
character to take a chance on
COmmunistic propaganda in
order to get that trade"
Approves StimsOn Move
In approving the Administra-
tions new policy toward nations
to the south, Borah said Sec
retary of State StimSon had
enunciated a correct interpreta-
ton of the Monroe doctrine. He
said this doctrine did not give
the United States the right to
impose it's own ideas and policies
on Latin-American countries, but
merely applied when some Epro-
pean government attempted to
take control of a nation in the
Western Hemisphere.

HARLAND TO OFFER
NEW DRIVING RULES
Hoover Left-Hand Turn and
Change in Right ways
to Be Urged.

A new set of traffic regulations
changing the method of making left
turns in Washington and rewriting the
right-of-way rules, Is expected to be
submitted by Traffic Director William
H. Harland in time for action by the
Board of Commissioners next Friday at
the regular semi-weekly meeting of the
board.
The left turn rule will put the Hoo
yer turn, made on green light from
the center lane and cutting inside of
the center of the intersection, into
effect here instead of the present rotary
turn made from the outside of the in
tersection.
The right-of-way rule will give to a
vehicle entering an intersection the
right of way over all vehicles, whether
on its right or not, except such as en-
tered the intersection before. This will
apply even to vehicle entering a boule-
ward highway from a side street
DR.. George c. Havenner. president of
the Federation of Citizens Associations
called on the Commissioners and OBJ
jected to both changes. In making the
left turn, DR.. Havenner urged, even if
the inside turn is adopted, the turning
vehicle should not be given the right
of way over through traffic. He pro-
tested against any change in the pres
ent right-of-way rules governing en-
trance to boulevard highways from side
streets

ASKS. TRAFFIC PLAN
ASA|D TO TOURISTS
House Member Says Jams on
Hams Point Road and in
Parks Are Very Bad.

Appeal to Lieut.. Col. u. S. Grant,
Sd, to work out a traffic system for
park visitors-especially in the inter-
estS of tourists who suffer most by
being caught in jamS-in preparation
for the rush to see the cherry blossoms
is made by Representative Frank L.
Bowman of West Virginia, member
of the House District Committee.
Representative Bowman was prompt
himself had been caught in the con-
gested traffic last Sunday in Potomac
Park East. His letter to Col. Grant Is,
in part, as follows:
Il happened to be in traffic Sunday
afternoon going around Hams Point,
and note that we are starting the
Spring tourist and Easter season again
with the customary traffic tangles in
several places, but more particularly
ct the intersection of Fourteenth and
the Point road, where traffic meets
that coming into the city from the
Highway Bridge and forms a backwater
of cars at times reaching nearly all
the distance around the Point.
Much attention has no doubt been
given to the problem, but there appears
to be no solution thus far. 1t occurred
to me that the officers could have solved
this problem by splitting the lines at
the entrance to Potomac Park golf
course and allowing one line to move
north on this road and then have this
line diverted west toward the river un-
der the railroad and highway bridges
and thence northward again to clear
ance. Instead of this, all the cars were
allowed to converge upon one point.
The District trafic director is TAX
ing steps to improve conditions in the
city proper Most of these changes will
be for the benefit of tourists, who are
usually trapped in the most serious
jams. BY working out similar system
of Improvements the park service could
have the plan working in good order be-
fore the remainder Of the Spring rush
and most certainly before the arrival
of Bicentennial visitors here next year
The beauty of the cherry blossoms and
other attractions are soon forgotten by
the visitor who waits for an hour or
more to move a few feet out of a
traffic jam. These difficulties should
and must be remedied and, 1 recon-
mend to you a study and solution of
the Hams Point situation as one of the
first important steps in this direction.

he believes the attack on him was In
spired by radicals and former members
Of the union. It was said Policeman
James H. Hunt had been assigned to
the case to gather evidence for Eax-
rants.
Two friends of Mrs. Stevens, William
I. Green and Robert Ely, both former
members of the union, said she attacked
HAIRY because she believed he was re-
sponsible for keeping her husband from
securing employment.
Union Rule Protested.
Green said the union with which
Haury Is affiliated is an organization Of
hosting, portable and other engineers,
with approximately $4,000 members
throughout the United States and Can
ada.
According to Green and Ely, the sys-
tenn of supervisors recently installed
has destroyed local self government in
the union and deprived the members of
any voice in the management and con-
duct of their business affairs.
Green and Ely also charge that under
the present system members are as
sesSed two per cent of their monthly
incomes as work assessments"
Mrs. Stevens said that as the result Of
a dispute with Haury her husband had
been suspended from the union and had
been prevented from securing work at
his trade since.
