DEFICIENCY BILL
ACTION DUE SOON
Senate Will Likely Vote on
D. c. Appropriations
Next Monday.

The Senate probably will act Non
day on the conference report on the
second deficiency bill. carrying $4,000
to enable the District Health Depart
ment TO start on a more intensive
program for prevention of disease, and
several other provisions of interest to
Washington.
To provide adequate accommoda-
tions for the General Accounting
once, the conferees finally agreed
yesterday on the House plan Of en-
larging and remodeling the old Pen
sion Building in Judiciary Square, at
an ultimate cost of $4,70o,000, OF
which 100000 is in this bill.
Senate Amendment Accepted.
The House group accepted the Sen
ate amendment, giving the National
Capital Park and Planning Commis-
sion another inStallment Of 100000
toward the park development author
ization in the Capper- -Cramton law,
the Federal Treasury to be reimbursed
later by District taxpayers. The
House also agreed to the $l50,000 Tor
new pumps at the filtration plant,
payable from water revenues.
The Senate amendment calling Tor
$2,550,000 to complete the air-con-
ditioning Of the Capitol, House and
Senate Office Buildings was left un-
settled, to be taken back to the House
| for decision.
Aside from the local items already
mentioned, the bill contains about
$55O,0O0 Of miscellaneous deficiency
funds for routine maintenance OF Dis
trict institutions.
| Although the health fund of $45,-
600 agreed upon in conference is s14,-
l2O less than the Senate voted Tor
the compromise was looked upon as a
decided step forward by members OF
the Senate who handle District af-
fairs, since previous efforts to obtain
this additional health fund in the
regular appropriation act failed two
months ago. Senator King, Demo
crat, Of Utah. chairman of the Dis
trict Committee, took the lead ir
reviving the item and having it placed
in the deficiency bill.
Senate Conferees Yield.
The Senate at first opposed remod
cling the old Pension Building aftel
District court officials pointed out i
would interfere with carefully worked
out plans for grouping future cour
buildings in Judiciary Square. Th'
Senate conferees had to yield in con
ference, however.
The conferees cut in half the Sen
ate amendment giving the Fedora
Trade Commission 5000, 900 to con
tinue its milk investigation in vari
GUS parts of the country. Reduction
also were made in a number Of othel
Senate increases.
The conference report, which place
the total Of the bill at approximate.
$500 10000 for all governmental pur
poses, will be presented to the Senat'
by Senator Adams. Democrat, of Col
orado 1t will then 60 to the Hous
for ratification.

% tive Measures.

and this exercise Of judgment Is
what constitutes q safe or unsafe
driver. Statistics have proven that
speed Is q contributing factor in q
large number of accidents and 1t Is
therefore apparent that many drivers
have a woeful lack Of judgment. Just
why there are speed demons" Is
hard to fathom, unless 1t be the
nervous. rapid and jazz age In which
we live, or the inherent selfishness
which predominates certain portion
of our human family. Basically.
there is no necessity for speed. Out
side Of an emergency, where human
life Is involved, one cannot conceive
where speed contributed anything to
the pleasure of automobile driving.
The old alibi that one was late, or
had to be at certain place at q GER
tain time can easily be remedied by
starting in time or the purchase Of
an efficient alarm clock. Speed GER
tainly does not contribute to touring,
as the benefit Of viewing the scenery.
one Of its prime objects, Is lost. And
the dangers of the constant and per-
sistent passing cars on the road Is
too well known, but not observed,
to need any further comment. So.
viewed from all angles. there Is no
alibi for the speeder and the speeder
should be curbed for the benefit and
protection of the lawful driver.
d. c. Speed Limits.
As indicative Of what the speed
limits in the District are, para
graph B of section IL of the Traffic
Regulations is as follows:
INC person shall drive a vehicle
upon a highway at a greater rate of
speed than is reasonable and pru-
dent, having due regard to the traffic,
surface and width of the highway.
and the hazard at intersections, and
any other conditions then existing"
Other sections provide that speed
shall not exceed % miles per hour
unless specifically provided, and not
mere than seven miles per hour in
in any alley. And how about this
one? Fifteen miles when passing a
school building or grounds during re-
cess or while children are going to.
or leaving school during the opening
or closing hours. and the same speed
limit when passing a playground
marked by official playground signs.
incidentally, the penalty for speed

center line where It enters the inter.
section and upon leaving the inter-
section by passing to the right Of the
center line Of the highway then en-
tered"
Right-Hand Turns.
And . risht-hand turn is made
thusly:
Approach for . right turn shall be
made In the lane for trafnc nearest to
the right-hand side Of the highway
and the right turn shall be made as
closely Is practicable to the right
hand curb or edge Of the highway"
A left-hand turn Is q hazardous un-
dertaking. and II not made properly Is
doubly 30.
Excessive speed, as has been noted,
Is . contributing factor in the ma
jority Of cases, and it Is readily under
stood that this Is 50 because Of the in
ability Of one to control his car when
driving too fast.
Again we note the penalties clause
and find that for the first offense the
fine Is up to 500 or imprisonment for
80 days and for any second o. subse-
quent ofYense within two years Of the
first the fine Is not more than 81 900
or imprisonment not more than one
year, or both.
No alibi has as yet been presented
upon behalf Of the drunken driver
which is tenable. Irrespective Of ones
views relative to the use Of intoxicants
every one admits they are a growing
menace. A person operating an auto
must be possessed of all his faculties,
and one drunk or half charged" GER
tainly does not come within this clas-
sif1cation. Drunkenness Is no excuse
for crime, and II . person deliberately
or thoughtlessly puts himself in that
condition he must answer for the con-
sequences Of his action.
Our law designated 1t as driving
while under the influence of intoxi-
eating liquor" This does not mean
that q person must be drunk or in
toxicated as we ordinarily or common
ly understand that term, but whether
or not he was under the influence of
intoxicating liquor" In contemplation
of law the term under the influence
of intoxicating liquor" means that the
person charged with this of1ense must
have drunk intoxicating liquor so that
the same disturbed, interfered or af-
fected the natural action Of his mental
or physical faculties so that they were
no longer in their normal, ordinary or
natural state.
Penalty for Offense.
The penalty for this offense is, for
the first ofIense, up to $500 or impris-
oument for not more than six months,
or both; and, for q second of1ense, not
more than 81 900 or one year. or both.
Incidentally. the majority Of drivers
convicted OF this offense receive
straight Jail sentences. Likewise.
Evening star., 1935-01-13

ing in the District Of Columbia Is up
to $25 for the first of1ense; for con-
viction Of q second o1ense within one
year Of the first, not more than 500.
and for q third within one year, not
more than $500 and imprisonment for
90 days, or both. It might be well to
remember these items when the urge
possesses you to push your foot .
little harder upon the accelerator.
The reckless driver Is the villain Of
the auto driving drama and should
be thoroughly hissed. It Is upon him
that the onus Of the criticism Of auto
driving Is directed.
What Is reckless driving?
Reckless Driving Act.
The law In the District Of Columbia,
predicated upon the trafac act en-
acted by Congress. defines reckless
driving as follows:
ANY person who drives any vehicle
upon q highway careleSSly and heed
lessly in willful or wanton disregard
Of the rights of others, or without due
caution and circumspection and at
speed or in q manner so as to endan-
ger any person or property"
It will be observed that this section
is broad enough to catch the reckless
driver both coming and going, be-
cause the first section applies to care
lessnesS, heedlessness and willfulness,
whereas the second section applies to
want OF caution and circumspection
and at speed so as to endanger per-
sons and property.
But reckless driving is really more
than this. 1t Is, briefly, any driving
which in any way jeopardizes the
safety of persons or property. Thus
the passing of mere" stop sign or
red light might under certain condi-
tions constitute reckless driving. Like
wise, making a turn from the wrong
lane has many Of the elements Of
reckless driving. And while on this
subject Of turns. 1t Is a peculiar COM
mentary upon human nature or psy-
chology, or by whatever name 1t
might be designated, that so many
make these turns Improperly, which
are the cause Of considerable num-
her Of collisions. It would seem that
common sense. and drivers having
passed their examinations as qualified
to operate are presumed to possess
this element, should know that max
ing a left-hand turn, or right-hand
one, from the outside lane into moving
traffic is foolish and hazardous and q
dangerous practice. Still we have
many. daily, in our court chargeable
with this offense. It might be well
20 pause at this point and give the reg
ulation relative to the proper manner
in which to make these turns:
Approach for a left turn shall be
made In the lane for trafiic to the
right of and nearest to the center line
of the highway, and the left turn shall
be made by passing to the right of such
Evening star., 1935-01-13
upon conviction, his permit to operate

upon conviction, his permit to operate
u revoked.
Space does not permit to give .
resume Of the many traflc regula-
tions which tend to safety. As .
matter Of fact all trafic regulations
are presumed and intended to be
safety regulations. Passing red lights,
failing to give signals and, most i'm
portant Of all, failing to give right
Of way to pedestrians in intersections
should be particularly stressed.
My experience has been that Is
far as the mechanical equipment Of
cars Is concerned very few acci-
dents are caused by any inherent
defects. Cars are now so built as to be
practically fool proof" We have
some cases Of bad brakes, but this
Is caused by the Indifference or care
lessness Of the operator in failing
to check up on this important factor.
The difference between a good and
q bad brake may mean q human
life.
Finally, with constant safety edu-
cation as o preventative, and punitive
measures. when necessary, we may at
last have an army Of safe and sane
drivers.
