Paul L. Kirby, acting director

ating next week.
Crippled youngsters in the Cap

which the District is spending
yearly, for physical treatment and
rehabilitation of the unfortunate
youngsters.
Will Take Census
Mr.. Kirby said a small staff of
five or six persons, with headquar.
tiers at Gallinger Hospital will be
formed next week. The staff will
include tW0 medical social workers
and at least one phySiotherapist.
A completed census of crippled
children in the District will be
taken, Mr.. Kirby said, through a
check of birth returns, records of
child clinics, records of social Serv-
lee agencies and from the school
census. He added:
Zone of the great drawbacks
in aiding these unfortunate chill
dren in the past has been our
inability to follow up cases.
That will be removed now. Even
in cases where the crippled child
can afford and is given private
treatment, we will have a record
of the case. Then, too, in cases
where children have been given
treatment and operations have
been performed only to have the
case fall from sight by removal
from hospital to home, the new
division will maintain a check
on the child'S condition"
MAY GET EXTRA FUNDS

curity law provides $4,000 of Fed.
eral funds to each State which
can match that amount through
expenditure on treatment of Grip
pied children. The Children'S
Bureau is also given discretionary
power in allocating additional
funds for matching expenses of
the State up to $25 900. Mr.. Kirby
said that in the District during
the last year $11 900 was spent on
the work at Gallinger Hospital.
$4,000 at Childrens Hospital and
$4,000 at the Childrens Tubercu'
losis Sanitarium.
He added that for the last quar-.
ter of the fiscal year, just ended

may be added~to the $4,000 ex-
pected this fiscal year.

D. C. Traffic Department
Gets Authority to Bar Nom
Residents Driving.

The next time Representative Zion
check or any other nonresident motor
ist is convicted of speeding, the District
Traffic Department will be able to DO
something about it besides impose
fine.
President Roosevelt today signed a
bill giving the TRAFFIC Department
authority to suspend or revoke the
right Of a nonresident to drive in the
District, even though he operate his
car on a State permit and has no Dis
trict permit to be revoked.
The bill, effective Immediately, has
the effect of placing non-residents on
the same basis as District residents.
Heretofore. the Traffic Department was
able to suspend or revoke the permit
Of a District resident, but could only
fine and submit record Of the case of
q nonresident to the authorities In
the State in which he resided.
The bill specifically provides that
the Commissioners or their desig-
mated agents may suspend or revoke
the right Of non-residents to drive in
the District "for any cause which they
may deem sufficient in the interests
of public safety"
Although the situation has existed
for more than year, the recent ar
rest of Representative Zioncheck and
his conviction in Police Court for
speeding at 10 miles an hour brought
it into the spotlight
Trafic Director William A. Van
Duzer announced he was without au-
thority to revoke the Washington
State Representatives permit. which
was issued by authorities in his own
State, and that under existing laws
Zioncheek could not be prevented from
operating his high powered car when-
ever he pleased.
Van Duzer was not in the city today,
but is is understood that plans have
been made to place the law N effect

cost of this trial alone, which has no
connection with the municipal affairs
Of the District. would wipe out any
contribution that Texas tax payers
