bill we're given the House District
committee today by Frederic A.
Delano, uncle of President Roose-
velt, and the chairman of the Ma
tional Park and Planning Com
mission.
In his memorandum, Mr.. De-
lano said:
1--WE are not asking for an ap-
propriatiOn, we are simply ask
ing Congress for permission for
the District of Columbia to bOr-
row from the Public Works Ad-
miniStratiOn money that has al
ready been appropriated.
"The terms are liberal, to be
true, but are similar to those
imposed on other cities"
Considerable relief to unem-
ployment would follow passage of
the bill, Mr.. Delano further
pointed out, and many badly
needed construction projects, in
Guiding a sewerage disposal plant
and tuberculosis hospital would
be completed.

sioners, will confer in the next
few days with Maj. Ernest w.
Brown, superintendent of police
and traffic director William A.
Van Duzer, as to means to re.
ducing traffic accidents in Wash
ington.
Commenting on reports that At
have been killed and 1927 injured
in traffic accidents here during
the first four months of this year,
Mr.. Hazen said:
"This situation demands i'm
mediate action. Something is
radically wrong and it is up to
us to remedy it."
Gives Three Causes
The Commissioner expressed
the opinion that there are three
underlying causes of traffic
casualties here. They are:
Dumb people, both drivers
and pedestrians.
inexperienced drivers"
The Commissioner added:
"Of course, there is little we
can do with dumb pedestrians.
But when a driver proves, after
a fair trial, that his mental
makeup is such that he cannot
drive safely, then he should be
deprived of a permit.
PLANS FOR STRICTNESS
II am going to talk with
Mr.. Van Duzer about the feast.
bility of making permit exam
nations more rigid. 1 don't
think we make them nearly
strict enough as it is, and I
believe there are many per-
sons driving here who have no
business behind a Wheel"
Mr.. Hazen declared he will in
struct police to tighten up at
once in the enforcement of traffic
regulations governing reckless
drivers. He also will urge that
every person convicted of reck-
less driving be deprived of a
permit to operate a car.

D. c. LOAN BILL
IS REVIVED BY
COMMITTEE
"Pigeon-HoIed" Measure for
PWA Advance to Get Hear
ing by Rules Group

Apparently influenced by pres
sure from persons close to the
President, the House Rules Com
mittee took unexpected action to-
day and ordered a second hear
ing on the $4,000, 900 PWA loan
bill for the District.
Until today, although passed
by the Senate, the bill appeared
to have been pigeon-holed by the
committee. even though Repre-
sentative Mary T. Norton CD of
New Jersey had appeared at an
early hearing and urged a spe-
cial rule.
Today's action was traced
directly by observers to receipt of
a communication from Frederic
A. Delano, uncle of President
Roosevelt and chairman of the
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission.
Represented by Thomas S. Set
tie, secretary of the commission,
Mr.. Delano pointed out the bill
did not involve additional ex-
penditure of Federal funds and
would make possible many worthy
projects here.
Friday was designated as the
date for a second hearing, and
the District Commissioners, Plan
ming Commission officials, and
others, will be asked to appear.
