@. You think there must be complete
cooperation between all motorists and
pedestrians? A. All law-abiding citi-
zens must be law abiding and help the
officers in charge.
n HERE is q gentleman who has
~ been here quite q long while.
What is your name? A. w. H. Barry.
@. Where do you live? A. New
York and Paris. @. What do you
think of the regulations in WASH
ington? Do you think they should
be made to control pedestrians?
A. I believe that pedestrian regula-
tion is just as important as trafflc
regulation. In some of the cities in
Europe, without supervision Of police,
people have learned to take care of
themselves, because If they are knock
ed down by any moving vehicle they
have to get up and apologize. @. How
do conditions here compare with those
in France? A. should say that with
out supervision the traffic regulation
is ahead Of ours.
q WHAT do you think OF the traffic
" situation, madam? A. think
your lights and signals are not as very
we'll observed as we have them in New
Orleans @. What is your name? A.
Verna Pearsol. @. Do you drive a
car yourself? A. Yes. @. What do
YOU think OF the actions of the pc
destrians? Do you think they should
be regulated as motorists are? A.
Yes, do. G. What do you think Pc
destrians do to endanger themselves?
A. Well, / think they should observe
the signals more carefully. @. Not
cross on the red light, not cross in
the middle Of the streets that what
you mean? A. Yes. Q. How Is the
situation here as compared with New
Orleans? A. In New Orleans I find
they observe traffic signals and lights
very we'll @. And the accidents are
fewer down there? A. Yes, they are,
n HERE is another lady. What is
" your name. madam? A. would
rather not say. @. Do you live in the
city? A. Yes, right now. @. Do you
drive a car or do you walk for the most
part? A. drive a car. @. In observ-
ing the actions of pedestrians. do you
think they should be regulated and
made to observe laws as the motorists
do? A Surely: there are too many
accidents. anyway. @. What are the
causes OF most OF those accidents?
A. l think careless driving and quite
a few pedestrians walking against the
red lights. @. What do you think Of
Traffic Director Van Duzer's Sugges-
ton OF fining pedestrians who cross
against the light and walk across the
street in the middle of the block? A.
l think if they were fined, 1t would
help eventually.
n Here is lady over here. What
~ Is your name, madam? A. pre-
fer not to give my name, but l am
a jaywalker, and the only way to stop
me from doing that is to fine me.
Money makes people listen.
q HERE is young man. What is
" your name? A. Agnew, OF
Georgetown University. @. How long
have you been in the city? A. All my
life. O. You know Washington up
and down. then. What do you think
of pedestrian control? A. think the
people have no regard for one another,
and the people who drive cars have no
regard for the pedestrians. With SIS
pedestrians killed. in the case Of more
than 40 it was their own fault. People
don't watch where they are going and
have no regard for one another. O.
Do you think 1t would pay to fine
some of those pedestrians who amble
all over the street without looking?
A. Yes. I think 1t would be good to
do that.
