300 Park Aides
Move offices
Monday

Monday will be moving day
for some 300 employees of the
National Park Service, now
quartered in the Architects
Building, nine,story structure
at Eighteenth and E. Streets
Northwest.
Impending demolition of the
building, to make way for the
new $1O,00O,00O Interior Depart
ment Building, has made the
move necessary, Secretary of
Interior Harold L. Ickes said.
The offices to be moved and
their new quarters are: The
Branch Of Engineering, to the
first floor of the Research Build
ing, Nineteenth Street and Con-
Stitution Avenue Northwest; the
Planning and Recreation Sec
ton of the Division of National
Resources, to the Bond Building,
Fourteenth Street and New York
Avenue Northwest, and the
Branch of Plans and Designs to
the Widner Building, Seven
tenth and F Streets Northwest.
Secretary Ickes said the move
probably will require a week.

ADULT TEACHING
PERIL SEEN

Children the country over are
being sacrificed on the altar of a
novelty-a new idea that has cap
tivated the minds of educators.
That novelty is adult education,
program for the aid of under
privileged adults, which is sweep
ing the country so rapidly that
recreational programs for chill
dren are suffering.
So said Miss Sybil Baker, direc-
tor Of the District of Columbia
Playground Department, at the
close of the twentieth National
Recreation Congress here yester-
day.
Miss Baker said:
"AduIt education is new
idea and because it is new, it is
attracting a great deal of atten-
ton. The danger, in my mind,
is that the novelty of this pro-
gram is imperiling the progress
of character building programs
for children"
Miss Baker also criticized the
emergency relief administration in
the District for its failure to pro-
vide recreational facilities, as
other communities have done.

LAY
BUSPURCHASE

Strong opposition to the pur-
chase of the Sixteenth Street bus
line by the Capital Transit Com
pany at the price of $847, 900 is
expressed by the Public Utilities
Committee of the Federation Of
Citizens Associations through it's
chairman, William NICK. Clayton,
in a brief filed with the Public
Utilities Commission today. The
brief covered the federation's atti-
tude toward pending re-route mat
tiers. "a .
It opposed changes in present
bus routes until after street car
lines had been rerouted and the
effect of such changes on the
travelling public had been noted.
The committee dismissed the
plans for subways and under
passes as academic until a method
of paying for them could be de-
vised. It also called attention to
the fact that none of the re-
route plans contains any extension
of existing rail lines and declares
this to be contrary to the spirit
of the merger of the two former
street car companies.
Many details of the Beeler re-
route plan and other plans before
the P. U. c. also were discussed
in Mr.. Clayton'S brief.

Raid Traps 13
Thirteen men were trapped in
the raid on what is said to have
been the largest gaming place in
the District.
An elaborate 6-room suite of Of
fees was wrecked, and the
city's bookmaking establishments
paralyzed by the battle" the
squad announced.
Seize Huge Switchboard
The squad struck it's smashing
blow on the fifth floor of the
Mather Building, in the 900 block
of G st. N. w., when, armed
with axes, the police chopped
their way through a series of
locked doors to enter the offices
of the National Amusement
Company" which they say is the
successor to the General News
Company, wrecked in similar
fashion several months ago.
In the rooms the squad found
a large Opposition switchboard,
said to be the central bureau of
race horse information, and the
IS men. The switchboard was
dismantled and taken to head
quarters, along with the men.
Two Safes Opened
Police today opened the two
safes found in the place, and
their hopes of obtaining impor-
tant evidence on the gambling
ring were blasted.
One safe contained only several
telephone mouthpieces. The other
contained a pair of dice, a num-
Der of racing slips, two pennies
and several ring settings.

SEEKING
COMPULSORY
INSPECTION
Traffic Bureau Head Claims
This Would Help Reduce
Motor Accidents

Faced with an unprecedented
traffic death toll during the month
of September and a continued &C.
cident rate. Inspector Benjamin
A. Lamb, commander of the Traf-
fic Bureau, today declared he
would recommend compulsory in
spection of all motor vehicles to
determine their mechanical safety.
Inspector Lamb said this phase
Of traffic control had been dis.
cusSed informally yesterday at a
meeting of the Traffic Advisory
Council, adding he was firmly
convinced that such inspection at
regular intervals would be a great
factor in reducing the number of
automobile accidents.
He said:
Feared Exploitation
1--WE have been advocating
such a measure for many years,
but there have been a number
Of objections because of the
fear that garages would ex-
plot the regulation CONNER
cially. Several States have a
regular inspection compulsory,
but have failed due to exploita-
ton by garages"
The Traffic Bureau commander
said, however, that in Memphis,
Tenn, a municipal motor We
hicle inspection bureau has been
created and the commercial
possibilities have been eliminated.
Test All Factors
Inspectors employed by the city
test all the important safety fac
tors of automobiles, such as the
brakes, steering, alignment, head
lights, tail lights, windshield
wiper, rear vision mirror and
horn, at least twice a year. This
service is given to the motorist

spections may be obtained at fire.
quent intervals without additional
charge.
Under the Memphis plan, in
spectorS are prohibited from max
ing any suggestions or recon-
mendations as to garages equipped
to make necessary repairs. In
spector Lamb said this feature
eliminates any possibility ~of
"favoritism" which might result
from so-called authorized inSpec-

Complete reorganization of the District Government

Mr. Roberts, who has made long and exhaustive studies of

ton plan which includes those ideas which have proved
their superiority after satisfactory testing with variations made
only to suit the peculiar political situation of this city His
pan he convinced eventually would prove efficient and
The Washington times., 1934-10-06

S"lASIUSOOly
Although Mr.. Roberts is mem.
Der of the special committee ap-
pointed to study and report on
the local Government structure
with view to possible reorganiza-
ton, he stressed that his plan rep.
resentS purely his personal con-
illusions and not those of the Spe-
cial committee.
However, there are strong indi-
cations that the special committee
report will be submitted by him
without the signatures of those
appointed to work with him, since
the others likely will not find time
to give the matter proper consider
alton.
No Effect on Costs
Admitting that his plan would
not permit any substantial reduc-
ton in appropriations, the Peo-
pies Counsel contends the plan
would give dollar and a half
of value for a dollar expended"
in comparison to the methods un-
der which the money is expended
now.
Under the Roberts plan, the
President would be empowered to
appoint a city administrator, who
could not act without the consent
of a council of commissioners who
would be elected by the popular
vote of local citizenry. It would
be provided that any person vot-
ing in the District Commissioner
elections would not give up any
rights which he may now have to
vote in a State.
Work Centralized
In close contact with the board
and the administrator would be
the administrative assistants, such
as the personnel officer and the
budget officer. They would keep
in constant contact with the heads
of the eight departments, to pro-
vide a central place where infor-
nation concerning the personnel
and budget could be obtained
quickly and exactly.
The court system would remain
practically intact, but an indie
pendent unit, under supervision
only of the council, would absorb
the duties of the present Public
Utilities Commission and would
perform the duties of the present
Recorder of Deeds and other al
lied functions.
Departments Named
The eight departments, under
which all other activities would
be placed, would be: health, law,
finance, public works, safety, vel
fare, education and recreation.
The health department would
have comparatively simple but
vigorous duties, the main one being
to administer regulations to pre-
vent disease and insanitary condi-
tons.
Radical modification of the ex-
isting legal staff structure is pro-
posed under the law department
under the Roberts
plan.
Under a department head would
be three subdivisions, one to adj
minister the laws (draft legisla'
ton and regulations, etc., one to
handle both criminal and civil
and one to do the inves-
tigational work for all phases OF
the legal department and also
handle claims of all kinds.
Pre-Audits Planned
An important feature of the De-
oartment of Finance as proposed
BY Mr.. Roberts would be a pre-
audit system.
This contemplates that the Dis
;rict budget would be transmitted |
% Congress directly from the
ocal budget officer, who would be

nent and would be in constant

Two more tits remain in the
series, tonight and tomorrow night,
after which the Indians will receive
a one-day vacation on Friday.
Louisville will invade the local park
for a single struggle Saturday night
and a double-header on Sunday
afternoon.
The Killeferites punched out six
teen hits to crush the Birds in the
opener yesterday and six of the
blows were for extra bases. Wash
ington walloped two triples and a
single and Vincent Sherlock poled
a triple, double and single. Vim
Sherlock batted in five runs, one Of
his blows clearing the sacks, and
Washington batted in four markers.
Fred Bedore kept up his heavy
smuggling and collected three blows
in the first conflict and two in the
nightcap. Three of his five smacks
were for two bases.
Columbus jumped off to a lead of
four runs in the first inning of the
initial encounter, but before the In
dams were retired in the same in
ming they had amassed six mark
ers. The home boys continued the
humping of the ~horsehide, scoring
three more runs in the second
stanza, four in the third and tvs
in the fifth.

In the second tumble, Charlie
again stepped to the front early
and McMillen was kept busy scoot-
ing under the ropes to escape
Strack'S clutches.
Bruised by Bad Fall
After twenty-three minutes of
this. with MeMillen apparently
doomed to kiss the mat again from
a series of reverse headlockS, Strack
tumbled over the top rope and land
ed OF his head on the floor. He
came up with an ugly forehead cash
and bruised right arm and leg. The
Bostonian was carried out, giving
McMillen the second fall.
Granted five minutes extra rest,
Charlie managed to stumble back
inside the ropes, and further proved
he could take it" by lasting seven
minutes more despite rough treat
ment by the former Illinois U. foot
ball star.

long range firing, which generally
wound up on Floyd's chin, gained
him the edge in this department.
After twenty-seven minutes, Rascher
slammed Marshall against the ropes
and clamped a head scissors on him
when he rebounded, ending the
match.

Stewart Bolen weakened again in
the sixth and the Birds chalked up
two tallieS in that inning and again
in the seventh. Hal Chamberlain
was sent to Bolen's relief in the
eighth and put the halter on the
Columbus FASTENERS. The contest
was called on account of darkness
after the visitors had batted in the
eighth. Klinger and Sims pitched
for the Birds.
In the night tussle Columbus
built up a lead of 8 to 0 before the
Tribe got started. Clarence Heise,
Bird Solthpaw, held the locals hit
less for four innings. Butzberger
was knocked out Of the Tribe box
in the second round and John Mil
jus went in and finished out the
contest.
Heise finally was solved for one
run in the eighth on doubles by
Sigafoos and Bedore, and in the
ninth the Indians grew threatening
and compelled Manager Blades of
the Birds to remove his southpaw.
The HoosierS scored three runs in
the final inning and had the bases
loaded with two down when Riggs,
third baseman, tagged Cotelle's
scorching liner to end the game.
Attendance was about $500. 1t
was ladies night and more than

Butzberger was charged with the
night game defeat.
