STREETS MAY BE MARKED
TO GUARD PEDESTRIANS
Inspector Brown Suggests Painting
Signs at Loading Platforms
Following Complaints.

Owing to complaints from motorists
of confusion in police enforcement.
traffic officials are considering pave
ment markers to emphasize the Drive
to the Right" signs before street car
loading platforms White lines and ar
rows would direct motorists to the right
of platforms where automobile traffic
in the middle Of the street would be
dangerous to pedestrians.
Inspector E. W. Brown Of the Traffic
Bureau suggested to M. o. Eldridge
assistant director of traffic, that the
markers be painted on the street fol-
lowing complaint yesterday from
Frank M Doyle. Washington realtor
who was fined 50 last week for disre-
garding an official sign on Massachu-
sets avenue near the post Office.
Mr. Doyle said that traffic officers
cuStomarily wave motorists on between
the platforms during rush hours and
that the practice is well established
through the sanction Of the Traffic Bu-
reau itself.
Inspector Brown explained that pc
destrians had complained OF the danger
in crossing between the platforms To-
Gated opposite each other at this point
and an officer had been stationed there
to see that motorists kept to the right.
The platforms where the regulation is
enforced, the inspector said, are those
placed opposite each other or at in
tersections deemed particularly dan
gerous to pedestrians.

D. c. COURT FACES
VITAL RADIO ISSUES
Appeal Decisions Due Soon
on Wave Rights and
Speech Freedom.

Momentous questions in the almost
virgin field of radio law will be decided
by the District Court Of Appeals with
In the next few weeks.
Sitting as a sort of super radio COM
mission" the court has heard final
arguments on two Of the most I'M
portant cases, appealed from decisions
Of the Federal Radio Commission ever
to come before it. One embraces the
question of property rights of stations,
which might be termed a battle over
the ownership of the ether, and the
other involves the ugw and untouched
question of free speech over the radio.
Both cases raise constitutional issues
which it is believed ultimately must
be decided by the Supreme Court.
Stations Fight Loss.
The property rights case has to do
with the commissions decision last
WHO and WPCC, both in Chicago,
to make way for station WJKS of
Gary, Ind. The reason given by the
commission was equalization" Of radio
facilities among the States, as it held
was ordered by Congress in the radio
law Illinois is the most overquota
state in the country in point of radio
facilities.
The Chicago stations, however, sue
ceeded in obtaining stay orders from
the court, restraining the commission
from canceling their licenses during the
pendency of the ligitation. Levi Cooke,
their counsel, contended the action
clearly violates the Constitution in that
it would reprive the stations of their
property without due process of law.
The free speech case involves the
Rev Robert P. (Fighting Bob Shuler,
pastor of the Trinity Methodist Church
South, Of Los Angeles. whose station,
KGEF, was ruled off the air last Octo-
ber by the commission because 1t held
that speeches made by the pastor in
cited religious strife"
Language Held Indecent.
Language used by the pastor was
held to border on the indecent and
his attacks on individuals and organi-
cations were viewed as inimical to the
public welfare.
Louis G. Caldwell former general
counsel of the commission and counsel
for Shuler. contended Silencing Of the
station is an abridgement of freedom
of speech as guaranteed by the Consti-
tuition. For the commission, General
Counsel Patrick centended that free
speech was not an issue, but that pub
lie service was the paramount question.
