PRESIDENT DELAYS
NAMING Of JUDGE
Wishes to Give Cummings
Opportunity to Study Rec
ords of Candidates.

President Roosevelt has postponed
action upon the recommendation OF
Almond Scott, colored lawyer, by the
Attorney General for appointment to
the Municipal Court of the District
of Columbia to succeed Judge James
A. Cobb, also colored. whose term
expired more than month ago, un-
til the Justice Department head has
had time to restudy the papers rela-
tive to Scott, as we'll as the papers
relating to other candidates for this
bench.
President Roosevelt himself made
this known at the White House to-
day
Following published stories a week
ago that the Attorney General had
recommended appointment of Scott,
numerous protests were received at
the White House by the Bar Associa-
ton of the District. the Washington
Bar Association, the Women's Bar
Association and many individuals
who strongly urged the reappointment
of Judge Cobb. Such Endorsements
of Judge Cobb were made irrespective
OF politics.
1t has been learned that in reStudy-
ing the papers relative to the NUM-
cipal court appointment, the Attorney
General, will in addition to restudy-
ing petitions urging Judge Cobb's re-
appointment, give serious considera-
ton to Richard B. Horner, colored
member of the local bar for number
of years and at one time member of
the Board of Education.

anna way of looking at things-telling

Charity doesn't cure the anxiety cases.

On the other hand they must have
something material to build on and
sometimes the only way to provide
this is through charity.
The problem is to get rid Of the
feeling that the cards are all stacked

possibly meet with any reward This
is the basis of the anxiety and it
seems to be part of the disordered
scheme of things. Sometimes the
doctor feels that way himself.

The disabled veterans of the great
depression probably will be ''on the
country" for a long time to come,
it was stressed at the meeting.
AS in the case of the war, the big
cost may come afterwards. There
is the great mass of men and women
whose pride and self-confidence has
been so undermined that they can no
longer find or hold job-not even,
it is probable, il an unprecedented
prosperity.
In 1929, it was pointed out by Mrs.
Pauline Shereshefsky, assistant direc-
tor of the emergency relief division OF
the Board of Public Welfare, relief
agencies were still engaged in re-
habilitating the similar victims Of the
minor depression of 1920. And that
was like the Mexican border campaign
compared to the World War, when set
up against the great depression.

AUTO DEATH GAIN.
|SFEARED HERE
Street Lighting Reduction
Expected to Make Bad
Situation Worse.

District traffic officials anticipate
that the accident rate, already high
and growing higher. is due for an
additional increase after June 80 if
one-f1fth of the city's street lamps
are extinguished. The lamps must
be turned out if the District appro-
priation bill becomes law in the form
in which it left the House, because
of severe reduction in the street light
ing appropriation.
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer today was studying with ap-
prehenSion results of statistical sur
vey of cities which cut their street
lighting appropriations prepared by
the Travellers Insurance Co, showing
that traffic fatalities increase almost
automatically with decreased street il
Elimination.
Accident Drive Planned.
Melvin C. Hazen, chairman of the
Board of Commissioners, also alarmed
at the present situation, said he would
confer with traffic officials in an ef-
fort to do something to reduce the
number of accidents, especially with
respect to tightening up on reckless
drivers, and making examinations for
operators permits more searching.
The survey of cities on street light
ing shows, in brief, that in 1882,
% cities, with an aggregate popula-
.tion of 15,258,000. increased street
lighting appropriations II per cent,
and fatal night automobile accidents
decreased by 23.8 per cent.
The reverse side of the proposition
was illustrated by the remaining 20
cities studied, which cut their appro-
priations for street lighting by IA per
cent. This cut was Immediately fol-
lowed by an increase of rs per cent
in fatal night traffic accidents.
Same Effect Seen Here.
Commenting on the report, Van
DuZer said he believed it accurate abd
that he saw no reason to believe that
If street lighting Is curtailed in Wash
ington there will be any different re-
suit.
But even disregarding any increase
which might come after June 80, Van
Duzer pointed to the fact that acci-
dents generally. and fatal accidents
in particular, are increasing at present.
He said that during the first four
months of this year Al persons had
been killed, while in the first four
months of 1888 there were only "a
fatal traffic accidents.
He said that repeal of the prohibi-
ton act here apparently had no bear
ing on the increase in the number of
fatalities.
The large incfease began last
October and prohibition was not re-
pealed until March. Besides, he said.
statistics on drunken driving showed
this offense Is not on the increase.
The real reason,a he said, Is dumb
drivers and dumb pedestrian" ~ Nor

DISTRICT WOULD
PUSHE. WA. WORK
Federal Authorities Asked
to Permit Use of More
Money for Materials.

A request that the District be per-
mitted to spend more than 10 per
cent of the cost of some emergency
works projects for materials and
equipment hire has been placed be-
fore Federal relief authorities by the
District. District officials are await
ing an answer on the request.
If the proposal is approved, the
District will be able to carry forward
on a faster schedule some of the
projects which have been delayed for
lack of sufficient funds allotted for
materials and equipment, according
to Capt Howard F. Clark, Assistant
Engineer Commissioner. Among those
are the swimming pools at the Ia
koma Banneker recreation centers.
Problems Of Psychology.
District officials are considering a
suggestion designed to eliminate the
wage psychology" from the minds
of persons on the relief rolls who are
employed on the E. w. A. projects,
Capt. Clark also revealed
Under the new proposal. "work
hour" allotments would be set up for
each person on the E. w. A. roster,
instead of each person being told they
would be paid a certain hourly rate
for performance of a certain kind of
work
Budget Requirement.
Either way the workmen would be
paid sum found to be his budget re-
quirement, and would be paid the
hourly wage rate required for certain
types of work. Thus, a bricklayer
would be paid the union bricklayer's S
wage, as at present. 1t is argued that
to allot a lump sum for person s
needs for month, instead of schedul-
ing his hourly rate of pay, would re-
move the wage psychology" The
point is made that the present system
is keeping some persons on relief from
seeking private employment because of
their assurance of a certain wage scale
in relief employment. The suggestion
came from the Citizens Advisory Com
mittee on Relief, headed by Mrs.
Frederick H. Brook.

did he think that education in safe
driving was very helpful. The good
drivers. he said. do not need it and
the bad drivers are immune to it.
Passage of the safety responsibility
bill now pending in Congress, he said,
would be a step in the right direction.
Under this bill persons guilty in traffic
accidents which result in personal or
property damage would have their
permits taken away, not to be restored
until resultant damage judgments had
been satisfied and the guilty driver
had posted bond or taken out insur-
ance to idemnify the victims Of any
future accident.

great powers makes it's signature
merely conditional?
But there are other difficulties;
this, for instance, that few days
ago the Voelkischer Beobachter, Ger
man Chancellor Hitlers newspaper,
foreshadowed new demands by his
government. Germany may now go
before the committee at Geneva and
later before the disarmament con-
ference if it is to be revived, with
a strong and urgent request that it
be given the right to build and fully
equip $500 military airplanes; such
a claim will be based on the alleged
fact that France, Poland, Belgium
and Czecho-Slovakia have a total of
about 1000 military planes, and that
Germany, consequently, would be at
a serious disadvantage in case of a
conflict.
Such a demand will be all the more
confusing in view of the fact that
Great Britain is preparing a plan
calling for naturalization Of the air
in certain zones; the ultimate pur-
pose of this plan is to reduce air
fleets. Also, it is limited broadly from
London that if this plan is rejected,
the British air fleet will be expanded
to its maximum strength.
There is a talking point here for
France: The French government has
been insisting that Great Britain
lrp
tions to guarantee the national secur-
ity of France. So far, Great Britain
has been averse to this. Now France
is said to be preparing to offer Great
Britain support of the air-fleet plan
if the British government will accom-
mOdate France in regard to the al
lance. Perhaps some sort of mu-
tually satisfactory compromise is
possible.
