TRAFFIC CHIEF
CHILLED BY
PATNAN
Denies He Plans to Eliminate
All Night Parking; Only on
Arterial Highways

Traffic Director william A.
Van Duzer will find strong oppo-
Sition in Congress if he bans all.
night parking here, he was told
bluntly at the Capitol today.
Appearing before the House
District Committee at the request
Of Representative Wright Patman
Cd Of Texas, he was told in,
stead Of finding ways to keep
people from parking" he should
find ways to help them park.
Cross-examining Mr.. Van Duzer,
Representative Patman said:
"YOur traffic bureau is look
ing at the holes instead Of the
dOughnut on this parking prob
lem, when you say that all
night parking should be banned
because Of a possible fire
hydrant."
Survey Urged
In reply Mr.. Duzer said that
while he did not want to impose
an all night ban, he believed it
would be necessary on arterial
highways and avenues, to make
snow removal possible.
Other suggestions made by Rep
resentative Patman were that a
survey be made with a view to-
ward restoring angle parking and
to reducing the number of spaces
now reserved for taXis, entrances,
and bus stops.
The committee, moving with
clock-like precision, reported out
several bills of utmost Importance
to the District. One Of these re-
quireS all automobile drivers who
become involved in major traffic
accidents to take out liability in
Surance.
Another drastically revises su.
pervision of life insurance COM
panies and gives the superinten.
dent Of insurance complete con-
troll. Representative Byron B.
Harlan CD of Ohio and author
of the bill told the committee he
would ask the House Rules Com
mittee for a special rule on the
bill.
School Sales Asked
Two other bills reported au-
thorized the Commissioners to
sell Tenley School to St. AIMS
Church, and to make new harbor
regulations.
A bill granting a congressional
charter to Columbus University
was laid aside pending hearing of
further testimony.
The committee also discussed
at length bill which would re-
quire taxi drivers to carry labi!-
ity insurance.

velt.
Furthermore, the belief pre-.
vailed in authoritative quarters
today that before June Is the
President may bring forth a
white rabbit" in the form of a
new plan for a solution of the
entire muddled debt situation.
Further Slash Studied
What the President may have
in mind was being kept a closely
guarded secret, but indications
were that whatever the plan may
be, it probably will call for
further slaShing of Europe'S
debts to the United States.
The tendency in official circles
to flirt with the idea of another
concession to the debtors in order
to assure resumption Of full pay.
mentS was based on the grounds
that it is better to take less than
get nothing at all.
Whether the Administration
will be able to sell such an idea
to Congress remained a doubtful
question, in view of the hostile
attitude of the legislative body
toward anything in the nature
of a further reduction or cancel.
lation of Europe's debts to this
country.
Vast Amount
Nevertheless, there were in
dications that the Administration
was toying with the idea.
However, officials made haste
to discount reports that the Ad.
ministration was prepared to
grant the European debtors any
thing so liberal as contemplated
in the proposed agreement with
Finland.
This tentative agre men t
which has not yet been approved
by the President, provides for the
virtual wiping out of interest
payments, both past and future.
If applied to all debtors it would
cost American taxpayers approx.
mately 10000 million dollars.

Virgin Island League Seeks
to Gust Governor Pearson

WASHINGTON, July 6-(CNS)-
The Suffragist League of the Virgin
Islands demands the removal OF Paul
M. Pearson as Governor of the Viz
gin Islands. The protest, signed by
Ella Gift, acting president, charges
Pearson with "maladministration, in
efficiency and misleading qualities"
Miss Gift assails the Governor for
employment of a we'll to do business
man as an NRA Inspector of public
safety, for alleged failure to eradi-
cate malaria and for ~allegedly inef-
ficient hospitals.
"Poor people," she wrote, "who are
taken to the hospital because they
have no proper care at home aze sent
out of the hospital before they are
strong enough to walk because there
is not enough money allotted the
hospital for the maintenance Of these
patients"
"We even had typhoid fever the
last six months, which I believe is
due to the insanitary conditions in
which the cutters are kept. This
small island has never been in such
plight before, until this present ad-
ministration came here.
Miss Gift asks that regulation of
the island lie placed unde- the Amer
lean Navy.
The question is asked: Can it be
true that in the rum producing Vir-
gin Islands there is also brewed a
strange elixir which prolongs the
reign of Governor Paul M. Pearson?'
"Or is it the political brew of
Washington which lends the governor
the necessary strength to hang on to
his office despite opposition of the
people Of the Islands and many Ad-
ministration leaders?
