PERMITS EXPIRE
Van Duzer Reveals Plans as
Citizens Make Request for
Such Service.

District motorists will receive no.
mits expire, probably beginning July l,
Traffic Director William A. Van Duzer
announced yesterday on being in
formed that the West End Citizens
Association passed a resolution last
Monday night requesting this service.
Mr.. Van Duzer disclosed he has
been working on this plan since the
beginning of his term of office. He
explained that the plan had not yet
been put into practice because 1t had
necessitated particular methods Of
filing records over period Of three
years before it could be carried out
systematically and with q minimum
of effort.
Renewals by Mail.
In addition to informing a car
driver the date Of expiration of his
license, the plan will make it possible
for him to renew his license without
having to go to the TRAFFIC Bureau.
He may send check or money order.
together with the application fur
nished him, to the Traffic Bureau. and
his permit will be mailed when re-
Quested.
Van Duzer said he felt the present
personnel Of the Traffic Bureau could
handle any additional work necessary.
He suggested that if enough per-
sons took advantage of the plan to
get their license by mail this would
tighten the job of handling crowds at
the Traffic Bureau, and perhaps partly
offset the additional new work. He
said. There are now some 200 900
licensed drivers in the District, which
means that between one and two
hundred notices would have to be sent
out each day" Most Of this work,
he explained, would be handled in the
morning hours when there is very
little other work to be done.
Little Cost EntaiIed.
"The cost of this service" he pointed
out. would not exceed cents in each
case" This would include the send
ing of the notice and application and.
later, the sending of the renewed IL
censeS. if requested by mail.
In giving their reasons for request
ing this service members Of the West
End association cited several cases
where drivers on being involved in an
accident or some traffic violation
found their permits had expired and
were forced to pay fines on this count.
They pointed out that motorists rarely
examine their permits except in cases
involving accidents or infractions OF
traffic regulations.

Order Cattle Sent by Air.

QUEBEC P.-Charles Roth Of
Winnemucca, New. wanted cattle at
Is cents o head and wanted them in o
hurry. He wrote the sheriff Of the
Quebec district a request to ship by
airmail 100 head of the best steers he
had ready for market. Roth's letter,
dated from Winnemucca, was as fol-
lows:
Not so very long ago I read an
article in the paper where Canadians
sold cattle for 10 or Is cents apiece:
if that is so ship by airmail 100 head
of the best steers you have ready for
market and send the bill to H. A.
Streeter, in care Of the Old National
Bank, Winnemucca, New. If not,
answer by airmail to Charles Roth or
Mrs. Frank Roth"
Perhaps Mr.. Roth was having q lit
tie fun. At any rate there was no
sale.

Prospect Of Team Work
For Bridge Program.

THE recent tour Of a group
i composed of members Of the
Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives, District and Federal
officials, members of the Board Of
Trade Committee on Bridges, rep
resentatives of the Federation Of
Citizens Associations, 1nter-Fede-
ration Conference, and other civic
bodies, encourages the belief that
there is in prospect some good
team work fer bridge program.
A very thorough examination was
made of the several bridges and
bridge sites and the way paved
for further conference on the sub
ject. The mere getting of this
group together for a closeup view
of these projects was an accom-
plishment worth while, and one
surely to tend grasping the bridge
problem from broad rather than
a narrow neighborhood angle.
The coming joint meeting on
Tuesday evening of the Federation
Of Citizens Associations Com
mittees on Highways, Parks and
Waterways, City Planning and
Fiscal Relations. should make a
further contribution toward the
cause of teamwork for the bridge
program and also highways. Much
confusion in the minds of our
legislators can be avoided If there
can be general agreement and
working together rather than
through individual efforts for
separate projects.

Senate Committee on the District
of Columbia during the Summer.
1t is reported to be planned to in
troduce bill in the next session
of Congress to carry the proposed
changes into effect. An elaborate
survey of the District government
has been completed by a committee
appointed at the instance of the
Senate District Committee. The
report of this survey fills numerous
bulky volumes. The recommended
tions of this committee for reor-
ganiZation of the several activities
of the District government and its
plan for a new set-up are awaited
with interest. If these matters are
released prior to their considera-
tion by the Senate Committee Or
ganized civic Washington will have
a real job ahead, and will surely
be ready with suggestions and con-
structive criticisms which are
available from no other source.

PARTIAL REPORTS

With DeadIine Now Set
for April /.

With extension of the membership
drive of the Federation of Citizens
Associations until April I, civic bodies
in Washington and nearby Maryland
and Virginia are redoubling their ef-
forts to enlarge their rolls.
Meanwhile partial reports on re-
suits already obtained have been an
nounced by some associations. The
Mid-City group expects to have 125
new members reported tomorrow night
with the Petworth, North Capitol and
Conduit Road associations already es-
timating gain Of around 100 MEM

have no reports to make on the gains
made to date until they hold their
next regular meetings.
A. J. Driscoll, chairman Of the Fed
Grafton Membership Drive Committee,
said the Randle Highlands and several
other bodies have plans to continue
the drive until a canvass Of every
house in their territory has been
made.
Mr.. Driscoll said all civic groups ne
has heard from, up until now. have
have been glad of the extra time al
lowed by the extension because tie
unfavorable weather at the beginning
Of March that made it practically in
possible for some of the groups to
start their committees to work.
The drive headquarters have been
changed from 1886 New York avenue
to 22e Bond Building. Fourteenth and
New York avenue. The new phone
number is National 1887.

CROWDS BROUGHT
FOR CONVENTIONS
EXCEED ALL PLANS
Publicity Value Shown in
Greater National Capital
Committees Work.

Attendance building, one Of the
important functions of the Greater
National Capital Committee in con-
nection with bringing conventions TO
Washington, has resulted in registra-
tions at national gatherings far in
excess of expectations.
Records of the Board of Trade
group reveal that more than 1000
delegates attended the recent Five
State Post Graduate Dental Clinic
here. at which officers of the con-
vention had expected an attendance
of approximately 600. The conven-
ton of the American Society for
Testing Materials. expected to be at
tended by 400, had an attendance OF
nearly 600 a few weeks ago.
"The success of these conventions
from the standpoint of attendance is
important in two ways" said Curtis
Hodges. executive director of the
Greater National Capital Committee.
Large attendance means larger
expenditure of money in the city. and
Il also means that word OF Washing
tons facilities as national conven-
ton center is carried to all parts of
the United States. Such advertising
IS a powerful factor in bringing other
organizations to Washington for their
sessions
Methods Explained.
"To build up attendance for the
ol
organization sent out 900 individu-
ally addressed letters to members of
the dental society and sent spe-
cially prepared news release to 400
newspapers. We regard the eXpendi-
ture of money in a reasonable way in
building up attendance as very
worthwhile business. This week we
have had printed 5000 copies of a
new pamphlet on Washington. and
}hese will be mailed all over the
country to build up attendance for
the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress to be held here.
I'VE are now sending out letters,
news releases and pictures of Wash
ington views to 10 pharmaceutical
publications in the United States and
foreign countries. The purpose OF
this distribution is to build up at
tendance for the convention of the
American Pharmaceutical Association
which is to be held in Washington.
BY properly directed effort we believe
that we can build up attendance at
Washington conventions this year to
an extent that will mean an addi-
+iopa1 eYDenditure of two or three
million dollars in the city"

DivorciDg the District
From the Budgei Bureau.


CENATOR CAPPER'S radio ad-
dress on our school needs. in
which he urged the taking
Of the District budget from the
Bureau Of the Budget, has met
with almost unanimous approval
of organized civic Washington.
About the only discordant note was
that sounded by President Miller
OF the Washington Chamber of
Commerce. 1t is believed that Mr..
Miller is out of step with the
Chamber on this question.
The sentiment seems to be
growing for the sending of the
District budget direct to Congress
and thus permitting the Commits
sioners to frankly and fully tell
just what they consider the Dis
trict's needs to be. 1t seems logical
to believe the body having the
constitutional power of exclusive
legislation over the District should
have direct and complete infor-
nation without the intervention OF
any Federal officer.
One civic leader has suggested
that the time is inopportune for
demanding this change on the al
legged ground that such agitation
might lnjure the prestige of the
Bureau of the Budget upon which
the Presidents economy plans de-
pend Other students of the ques-
ton seem to see no connection
whatever between the District OF
Columbia budget, made up of over
80 per cent of local revenues and
the national budget with which
1t has been illogically linked
1t has been suggested that the
'question of a separation of the
budget is one for action by the
Legislative Committees on the Dis
trict of Columbia rather than by
the Appropriations Committees. So
much District legislation goes on
the statute books through the ap-
preparation bill route that civic
bodies seem to just naturally look
for this budget relief from the
Appropriations Committees. How
ever accomplished, the general
sentiment favors this major opera
ton at this time.

House Appropriations
Subcommittee Completes Hearings.

Subcommittee Completes Hearings.
The hearings on the District
budget by the subcommittee of the
House were completed with hear
ing of representatives Of civic
bodies on Friday morning. The
community, however, remains IN
the dark as to what representa-
tions have been made to the COM
mittee by the Commissioners and
their subordinates regarding their
recommendations for the eXpendi-
ture of the tax money of the Dis
trict taxpa. erS. No doubt much
light might have been shed upon
many questions had full publicity
been given these hearings. The
necessity for this secrecy in trans
acting the peoples business is diff
cult for some Of our civic organi-
zations to understand. 1t my be
held that the printed hearings are
made public after the committee
completes its labors, but many en-
tertain the belief that it would
be highly advantageous to know
what transpireS at these hearings
day by day as they proceed.
