1900 CITIZENS
SIGN BUS LINE
PETITION
BY A. J. DRISCOLL
(CitiEens Associations EditOr)

Fortified by a petition signed by
more than 5000 persons request
ing through bus service from
Chevy Chase to Eighteenth Street
and Columbia Road. a delegation
from the Northwest Business
Mems Association headed by
Ernest L. Stewart, president, Will
ask the Public Utilities Commits
sion this week to make the change
effective at the earliest con-
Venient date. The rerouting has
been supported by every citizens
association of the general neigh
borhood.
The proposed line is intended
to supplant street car service
abandoned when the car tracks
on Connecticut Avenue were re-
moved, which resulted in most Of
the through transportation down
town being rerouted via Taft
Bridge, Connecticut Avenue and
through I Street.
Members of the association said
last night that since the use OF
Eighteenth Street and Columbia
Road had been abandoned as a
bypass there had been a loss Of
from to 20 per cent in all lines
of business the car line was a
prime factor in developing. Gus
toners from upper Connecticut
Avenue and Chevy Chase who
formerly did their shopping in the
vicinity of the Columbia Road in
tersection have stopped because Of
unsatisfactory traffic arrange
mentS which involve additional
transfers.
It was pointed out that in
creased bus traffic has created a
problem at Taft Bridge, which
has only a 26-foot roadway with
q bottleneck at the southern end
caused by a parkway, and that a
traffic jam is frequently created
at Dupont Circle were $500 We
hicles pass ever 1S hours, accord
ing to a recent traffic count. 1t
was declared that the new Calvert
Street bridge with a 60-foot road
way is better able to accommodate
additional traffic.

LUDLOW DENIES
PLEDCINC AID IN
TOWNSEND VOTE
Only Said MAYBE Relates
Representative in
Statement Today.

Tunes SprcjgI
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30-r1ep.
Louis Ludlow didn't say yes and
he didn't say no He just said
Maybe" to the Townsend plan
questionnaire, he related today in
explaining how his name appears
among the first 80 Congrcssmen
pledged to support the Townsend
plan at the coming session Of Con-
gress.
In the Townsend Weekly dated to-
day, Mr. Ludlow is credited with
saying Yes TO these questions:
Are you in favor of the plan?
Did you vote for the McGroarty
bill?
viii you help pass bill embody-
ing the plan at the coming session?
In a written statement, Mr., Lud-
low explains:
How II Happened
IN my Office I have three rules
from which / never deviate. One IS
that every letter that comes TO me
will be given an answer. Another
is that l never pledge my vote IN
advance either for or against bill;
one reason for that being that no
one ever knows what form Of bill
will finally take when it reaches the
voting stage I have often known
bills to be SO changed and amended
that when a vote IS reached they
bear no resemblance TO their org
inal form.
The other rule is that I give fair,
honest, unprecedented consideration
to every proposed measure OF Iegis-
lation. Not only does every meas
ure receive conscientious considera-
ton by me, but I vote against par
liamcntary rules and tricks that pre-
vent honest and fair consideration
of measures by the House.
In conformity with these long
established rules, when Mr. r. E,
Clements sent me the QUESTIONABLE
on the Townsend bill, l replied
promptly stating that I would con-
slider the Townsend and all other
old-age security plans with al open
mind with a view to reaching a de-
ciSion which will be in the best in
terests of all Of the people.
Vote Not Pledged
81 have not pledged my vote for
any plan nor have I made any
pledges, promises or commitments
whatsoever in connection with the
matter except the aforementioned
promise that the Townsend plan
will have my fair and honest con-
sideration.'
Townsend headquarters here said
that F.. j. Elgin, managing editor of
the Weekly, was out of the city to-
day and could rot be reached for an
explanation Of the Ludlow listing.
