TRAFFIC RULE
0BSERV ANCE
DRIVE now ON
Many Of Those Getting 7S
"Pink" Tickets Fail to
to Answer Summons

City police officers over the
week end opened drive to Sc
cure better traffic rules observ-
ance, and as a result of their ac-
tivities 7S "pink" traffic tickets
were given to motorists, mostly
for violating parking regulations.
Many of the ticket holders APP
peared in the court this morn
ind and were 'let off" by the
court but warned that similar
infraction would not be passed
up so lightly.
Commenting on the situation,
Mayor Edwards said that the
city authorities wished to extend
every courtesy to visitors as well
as home folks, but he pointed
out that the traffic situation was
getting beyond control and that
it was felt that steps must be
taken to remedy the situation.
Chief Otis Powers said this
morning that many Of those
whose cars were tagged had not
appeared at police headquarters
or the city court, and he declared
that those not reporting were IL
able to find themselves in trou-
BILE for not appearing. The num-
bers of all cars tagged are on
file at police headquarters and
those repeating traffic violations
will not be dealt with as easily
for second offenses.
Chief Powers further stated
that one car was tagged three
times in a single day, and he de-
clared that such practices would
not find favor with the authori-.
ties and that such persons might
expect to feel the authority OF
the law.

PRESIDENT PLANS
End MESSAGE SOON

WASHINGTON, May ID. (UP)
President Roosevelt today sent
congress a message urging ma
tion-wide home modernization and
repair program.
The president said the program
consists of four major interrelat-
ed divisions: :,
I. Modernization, repair, and
new construction;
2. Mortgage insurance;
3. MORTGAGE associations;
4. Building and loan insurance.
"The purpose of the program -
two-fold: First, to return MANY
unemployed to useful and gainfHl
occupation; second. to produce
tangible, useful wealth in a form
for which there is great social
and economic need" Roosevelt
said.
The president said many Amer
lean homes are 'not fit for hu-
man habitation." Rebuilding and
renovizing should be done quick
ly, he said, to protect health, pro-
vide safety and to obtain thia
speed the federal government
must take the initiative and co.
operate with private capital in in
dustry.

WASHINGTON, May Ia. uPl
Hopes for quick adjournment Of
congress faded last night as Pres
ident Roosevelt prepared to nile
more work on legislative bodies
already grooming under admins
tration measures.
The president Is expected To
send two messages 70 Capitol Hill
this week. One will ask for ST.
1922, 100000 to extend relief and
public works programs. The other
will propose a $200,000,000 fund
to inaugurate the national home
repair campaign.
Both requests are certain 70
precipitate lengthy debate. Pro-
gressives led by Senator Robert
M. LaFollette, Jr., will attempt to
add many millions of dollars to
the public works and relief APP
preparation. They say the admin
istration's estimate will prove in
adequate to meet the distress that
will follow the seasonal slump in
industrial activity and another
winter with millions still unem-
ployed.

POSITION AGAINST

Storm BreWs in Senate as Sol
ons Prepare to Vote on
Veterans Benefits

Washington, Feb. 22.-P>-A pos
sible veto-the first of the Roosevelt
regime-was foreseen Thursday as re-
volt brewed in the senate on the SUBJ
ject Of veterans benefits.
A Republican, Democratic bloc. en-
couraged by a successful uprising
Wednesday against the economy act,
pressed forward In an attempt to loos-
en- treasury purse strings In veterans
matters.
Two presidential compromises have
already liberated benefits for the ex-
soldiers but the bloc wants more.
BY q vote Of Al to 40 Wednesday
the senate overthrow provisions In the
economy act for federal pay slashes.
During the hours before the senate
session, administration leaders worked
to press regulars into line behind the
latest presidential compromise, put
forward by Senator Ryrnes (Dem
s. c..
Under this plan veterans pre-
sumed" to have disabilities connected
with service would be restored to the
rolls, until their cases can be settled
by the board Of appeals. Each would
get Is per cent Of the compensation
allowed before the economy act Of
last March.
Offer Free Republication
The compromise also would write
into law provision for free hospital
ization for needy ex-soldiers and free
domiciliary care for the permanently
disabled.
But Roosevelt's concession left un-
touched the fourth point IN an Amer
lean Legion program, which has
gained strong support. This would
pension World War widows ana or

Meanwhile senator shipstead
Farmer Laborite from Minnesota
gave the senate bonus bill. He
introduced Wednesday q bill for I'm

The house Is due to take bonus

passed the word that q veto almost
certainly awaits such q bill.
