NIGHT PARKING
D. K. ELATES
MOTORISTS
Thousands Breathe Signs of
Relief; Feared Loss
of Privilege

Abandonment by District Off
cialS of the idea of abolishing
all-night parking was greeted with
relief today by thousands of mo-
torists for whom there is no ga
rage space available.
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen
announced yesterday that there
would be no ban on night park
ing and that Traffic Director Will
liam A. Van Duzer would not
even recommend the measure.
The statement followed protests
by citizen groups and hundreds
of individuals who flooded the
office of the Traffic Director with
their objections.
Would Force Sale of Cars
It was feared by automobile
dealers that ban on night park
ing would force many motorists
to sell their vehicles because OF
the additional garage expense.
This, it was stated, would clutter
up the automobile market and
make the sale of both used and
new cars difficult.
Loss of revenue to the District
government from the gasoline and
oil taxes, used to keep the city's
streets and highways in condition,
also was forecast if the ban were
put into effect.
Handicap to Women
Mr.. Van Duzer stated one of the
objections to the plan was the
large number of women operat-
ing automobiles in the District.
The majority of garages are now
located in alleys, and many women
would be afraid to put their cars
away late at night.
Opponents of the measure
pointed out that from midnight
until 8 o'clock in the morning
there is practically no traffic and
that nothing would be gained by
eliminating parking during those
hours.

Of CHARGES
Police Sergeant Starts Drive
After Judge Holds Taxis
Must Have Policies

Five Washington taXicab
drivers were arrested by Takoma
Park police last night in accord
ance with the orders issued by
Sergt. Earl Thomas, in charge of
the Takoma Park station, follow
ing a ruling yesterday by Judge
Donald A. DeLashmutt, in Rock
vile police court that all COM
mercial vehicles operating in
Maryland must be covered by
liability insurance.
Frank Trains, of the $500
block K st. who was arrested
April 80, by the Takoma Park
police in what was to have been
a test case, failed to appear in
court yesterday to answer
charges of not complying with the
State liability insurance law. His
arrest was ordered.
The five new arrests we're: Dud,
ley A. Stinson, of the 1900 block
of Fourteenth st. N. w.; Arthur
L. Murray, of the 500 block of
Whittier st. N. W.; Vernon v.
Kidwell, of the 500 block of Ninth
st. N. W.; David Pierce, of the 800
block of Greenwood Ave, Takoma
Park, but driving for a Washing
ton cab company, and Ernest M.
Rose, of the 1900 block of Third
st. N. w.
All were released on posting
$1O2.5O collateral each.
The arrest in each case was
made by Policeman Frank Lane.
He said today that several other
drivers who live in Takoma Park,
but drive for Washington cab
company, parked their cabs at
the District line and walked home.
All five cases were set for May
18 in Rockville police court.
Chief Alvin A. Moxley, of the
Montgomery county police, said
he would confer with States At
torney Stedman Prescott today to
determine what policy his police
should follow until a case is de-
cided.

STRIKE TRUCE
DUE SOON

Penalty clauses in contracts OF
members of the Master Builders
Association with the Federal Gov.
ernment may operate to bring
about a prompt settlement of the
controversy between the associa-
ton and the carpenters working
on new Government construction.
It was said today that the Gov
ernment had planned to house it's
agencies in the new buildings by
July /, and would be liable for
about $4,000 a month rent If
they were not completed on time
"a charge that would be passed
on to the contractors as
penalty.
Thus far % independent con-
tractors, not members of the
association, are said to have
agreed to the unions demands
for $1.37 an hour for a six-hour
day. Out-of-town contractors in
the association were said to be
willing to pay that scale.
Realization that drastic penal
ties may be imposed if work on
the buildings is not rushed
through may influence the asso-
citation to a less uncompromising
stand, it was felt today.
Meanwhile, work on the new
addition to the Library OF Con-
gress has been suspended as a,
result OF the carpenters strike.

DOCTORS WANT
NEW DEAL

Drastic changes in the method
by which the Public Welfare
Board provides medical treatment
to the poor were advocated today
by the District of Columbia Medi-
cal Society.
Under the present method, ten
physicians visit a precinct station
twice daily and make hundreds of
home calls, receiving for tn a
service 81 a day.
This method of treating poor
persons, the society declared, is
"antiquated." It suggests that the
physicians be placed on a more
equitable financial basis as COM
pared with other welfare workers
and that regulations governing
their work be altered to conform
with present day requirements.

At the bureau this morning
the family collected sufficient

The children are Harold, H.;

BONUS VETERAN
RANKS BROKEN

500 Men at Fort Hunt As 500
Gather in D. c.; Latter Shun
Hickerson'S "Army"

Although it was predicted that
several thousand ex7service men
would be in the Capital to at
tend the convention Of the Vet
erans' National Rank and File
Committee, only slightly more
than 500 men were quartered at
Fort Hunt, Va, today.
It was estimated, however, that
more than 1000 veterans were
here, but most Of that number
refused to register because of the
three-point program advocated
by the committee.
Many Not Veterans
So-called fright wing" veterans
contend that this is not a bona
fide bous march because many
of the men quartered at Fort
Hunt are not world war veterans.
They object to the three-point
program, asking for payment of
the soldiers bonus, repeal of the
economy act and relief for
farmers and the unemployed.
They point out that their only
interest lies on payment of the
bonus.
Smouldering fires of dissension
still prevailed today as groups of
right wingers" congregated at
the registration tent at John Mar.
shall Place and Pennsylvania
Avenue Northwest, expressing
their opposition to- the program
and the committees leaders. Yes
terday several fights were averted
by police Intervention.
Denies Ranks Split
Right wing veterans said they
will hold a meeting today to de-
eide what action will be taken
and they will probably go to the
White House to protest.
Their visit to the Executive
Mansion yesterday was postponed
at the last minute when it was
learned that a meeting was to
be held at the camp site last
night.
Harold Hickerson and George
Altman, leaders of the march, de-
MED that there was any split
in the ranks of the veterans.

The severe weather which Wran-

turned colder to make walking diff
cult on the icy streets. At midnight
