ACTION EXPECTED
ON BUS PETITION
Utilities Commission to De.
eide Alexandria Line Dis
elimination Charge.
national recovery.

The Public Utilities Commission prob
ably will act next Monday on the petit
ton of the Alexandria, Bancroft &
Washington Rapid Transit Co. that it
be allowed to pick up passengers in the
District between Water street and its
terminal on D street near Eleventh
street.
The commission last week served
notice on the bus company that it must
obey the commission order forbidding
the practice, except for one stop near
the Washington Tourist Camp. The
commission also threatened prosecution
unless the company charged the same
local fare as that OF the washington
street railway companies, 10 cents cash
or four tokens for 80 cents.
The suburban bus company had
been charging 5 cents for the short
haul between Fourteenth and Water
streets and its terminal.
The petition was filed with the COM
mission late yesterday by r. L. May.
operator of the bus line, who charged
the order against serving passengers
along his route in the District was
discriminating. since his company has
to pay license tax and a bus mileage
tax
He pointed out that the Mount Ver-
non, Alexandria & Washington Railway
Co., of which he was former owner,
was permitted for 30 years to serve
passengers within the District This
line was abandoned when the Federal
Government took over the Federal tri-
angle for Government buildings.

Newly Appointed Special
Agent, Ring, Prepares CON-
plant Forms.
ALL NEEDED FACTS
TO Be CALLED FOR
Apartment Inspections May Be
Made by Persons Now on D. c.
Unemployed Relief Rolls.

Preparations were being completed
today for investigation of rental condi-
tions in Washington, which will be
begun Monday, when James Ring,
newly y-appointed special agent Of the
District Public Utilities Commission, will
take Office.
Forms on which complaints may be
filed with the commission now are being
drafted in final form by Mr.. Ring. who
has outlined this phase of his plans to
commission officials.
The printed forms will call for all
needed pertinent data, including rent
charges. how long present levels have
existed and the name of the landlord or
owner.
A tentative plan in mind today pro-
posed use of number of persons now
on the Districts unemployed relief rolls
as agents of the rent bureau Of the
commission to make personal inspec-
tions of apartments, where deemed ad
visable.
Public hearings on some cases may be
held, it was said by commission off,
cials. since it is realized publication of
facts regarding rents may prove strong
support of any order for a change in
rents which the commission may issue.
Search is being made for a private
office for the rent investigator so that
study of individual cases on rents may
be conducted most effectively.

toned. She fires straight from the

for every question.
After attending meeting Of the La
Dor Advisory Board of the Recovery Ad-
ministration, she was surrounded by
correspondents who had waited for
hours in hot corridor Of the Com
merce Department Building for her.
The size Of the crowd failed to dismay
her.

piled as she attempted to push her way

ated Press dispatches from Winnipeg
stated, 1t was positively identified.

The Hamilton National Bank Sub
Scription Committee announced today
that Eugene Meyer, publisher of the
Washington Post, had subscribed $4,000
in stock with a promise to take $4,000
more if necessary. The Evening Star

of $1,000 more if needed.
Only $4,000 Lacking.
Today's reports brought the subscrip-
ton total to within $4,000 of the
amount set but the committee announc-
ed that it would be necessary to raise
more than this because of the off set
regulations Of the Treasury Department,
which released some of the funds other

Mr Graham today expressed gratifi-
cation over the progress made so far,

at all hours by correspondents.
Nov, fellows, let me see," Is the
preamble of his discussion on any sub
ject with newspaper men.
''As you boys know" he continues,
"the President has selected members Of
his cabinet to advise with officials in
charge of the recovery program, and
we will prepare statement on the
general situation shortly"
No matter how many questions are
fired at him Roper sticks to this state
ment
The recovery program is also being
employed by jobleSs newspaper men to
recover their luck. They have formu-
lated many schemes in the hopes Of
aiding them to exc out living One
plan revealed calls for the establish
ment of daily information service on
recovery developments for thes con-
venience of the general public. For a
small fee all press bulletins compiled
by the Government will be delivered
promptly at the Offices of those in
terested
The formulators OF this plan, how
ever, underestimated the Governments
capacity to dish out handouts" All
they are shy Of now is one-ton truck
to haul the bulletins away from the
department buildings.
Most of the correspondents assigned
to the recovery story are either men,
bers OF the staff of press associations,
ticker services, trade journals or con-
nected with the hundreds of bureaus
established here by out-of-town news
papers.
Telegraph companies estimated today
that they are handling approximately
10000 words daily on the recovery SUBJ
ject. This does not include the thou
sands Of words that move on the special
leased wires Of the press association.

Veterans of Foreign Wars
Advocate Buildings to
Aid Unemployed.

Immediate use of Federal Relief Ad-
ministration funds to construct school
buildings here as a means of relieving
unemployment and at the same time
alleviating overcrowded school condi-
tions was advocated in one of a num-
Der of resolutions dealing with local and
national problems adopted last night

Grams Of Foreign Wars at Stuart Junior

lief fund ALLEGATION to the construction
of sorely needed local school projects.
The department condemned the en-
ployment by the Federal Government

ice pension laws, which would provide
equal compensation for equal disability
to veterans of all wars, placing all vet
Grams, regardless of time or place of
service, on an equal footing, was rec
commended in another resolution.
The department charged that the ad-
ministration is building up sentiment
for cancellation of war debts and de-
manded that before any steps were
taken toward cancellation the bonus
should be paid to World War veterans.

recommended that recognition of Soviet
Russia be refused; that the United
States should refuse its participation in
the League of Nations and World Court;

the department termed his "unethica"
radio talks; that Brig. Gen. Frank T.
Hines be censured for his administra-
ton of benefits for veterans of the

0NE-WAY STREETS
FOUND SPEED|ER
Van Duzer Announces Result
of Extensive Traffic
Investigation.

An extensive study of traffic condi-
tions on one and two way streets has
revealed that the one-way street can
accommodate approximately the same
volume of traffic at greater speed and
safety, William A. Van Duzer, director
Of traffic. announced yesterday. The
study was made with view to making
Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets from
Pennsylvania to Virginia avenue one
way.
In making the investigation, Mr.. Van
DuZer said, @ and r streets, which were
made one-way from Florida to Massa-
chusetts avenue more than a year ago,
were compared with and T streets
between the same points. It showed
that accidents decreased on the first
two streets as soon as they were closed
to two-way traffic, and occur less fire.
quently than on S and T during the
same period Of time.
The primary reason for the proposal
to make Eighteenth and Nineteenth
streets below Pennsylvania avenue one
way, the traffic director pointed out,
is because Of the single track car lines
on the streets. He has received numer-
GUS complaints OF traffic congestion re-
sulting from the street cars proceeding
in the center Of the streets against
traffic
Greater safety, Mr.. Van Duzer said,
is obtained on one-way streets partic-
ularly at night when there is no glare
from headlights coming from the oppo-
site direction. Also the turns at inter-
sections are much less complicated. On
the other hand, he called attention to
the one hazard created by the one-way
street, person parked on the left side
Of the street has no means of warning
approaching cars of his intention to
pull out from the curb.
Two In LAG Fatal.
A years study of the four uptown
streets showed 146 accidents on S and
T street, two of which were fatal, COM
pared with 1873 on the neighbortng one
way thoroughfares, with no fatalities
Mr.. Van Duzer also announced that
traffic light will be installed on Penn
sylvania avenue frpm Four-anda-half
to Fourteenth street. inclusive, with the
exception of Thir. eenth and Eighth
streets. within the ne t three weeks. The
contract for installA Alton has been let.
Word that this. wouhi be done at some
time was released In! the past.

an annual pay roll Of $66 900, the traffic

Traffic Director Van Duzer said he
would discuss the problem with the
Commissioners and adopt any policy
they recommend.
The dismissal of three or four en-
ployes. Van Duzer indicated would
automatically solve the problem. He
satd he did not propose to recommend
such action. however, unless it fits in
with the plans of the Commissioners
for handling similar conditions in other
