TRAFFIC STUDY
GROUP DARES
EARLY DAWN
Intrepid Reporter Sees
District Needs With
House Probers

Two congressman, members of
the House District subcommittee
investigating traffic conditions
in Washington, made a grand
tour" of the District in a frosty
four-hour ride erding at noon
today.
Their findings we're practically
nil.
Chairman Representative Ran
dolph Carpenter CD of Kansas
said he preferred to withhold a
statement. At the moment. he
explained, he had his mind on
a speech he intended to make in
the House.
1t was a brave band that left
Capitol Hill in the bleak mirk
of what seemed to the writer
some time after dawn. Actually
it was $50.
They Park Double
Into a big shiny sedan fur
nished by the American Automo-
bile Association, filed Representa-
tive Chauncey w. Reed (R) of
Illinois, Representative Carpenter,
Burton Marsh, head of the as
sociation's traffic and safety COM
mittee; James l.. Reardon, also
of the association a reporter
and the driver.
Representative Clare Fenerty
(R.) of Pennsylvania, a member
of the committee, was out Of town
and so missed the parade.
The car bowled down PennSyl-
vania Avenue to Fifteenth Street,
turning north to Thomas Circle
and K Street, thence to Connect
cut Avenue and UP to Florida
Avenue.
Stopping momentarily to have
their picture taken, the party was
forced to double park" and got
a very dirty look from the police
man on the corner.
The idioSyncracies of the traf-
fic at Dupont Circle were duly
noted.
Here's Real Drama
At Pierce'S Mill, however, real
drama was enacted. Here the au-
tomato lights which are operated
by horses on the bride path In
trigued the subcommitteemen and
accompanying encourage.
The light device operates
through double beam. so that
when a horses body cuts the beam,
the traffic light ahead switches
to 60"
There was no horse traffic on
the bride path at the time, so vari-
Gus members of the party got out
and deployed in the path of the
beams so as to operate the light.
Observers of this procedure who
stopped their cars to watch the
committeeman drove away puzzled.
More Riders in Sight
At Mt. Pleasant and Irving
Streets Northwest where Mr..
Ryan had asked for a traffic
light, the investigating committee
debarked and studied the problem.
Mill Creek Road and Lanier
Road also came in for observation.
The tour wound up with con-
ference at AAA headquarters
with Russell E. Singer, general
manager, and A. j. Montgomery.
Representative Carpenter then
returned to his office, saying
that a hearing would be held
next Monday, when the findings
of the "bird's-eye" tour would be
aired.
Therell be more rides around
the Capitol, he intimated.

SENATE CHIEFS
COOL T0NEW
MEASURE
Revised Substitute for
AAA Faces Battle
Next Week
BY EDWARD B. LOCKETT
International News Service


Facing troublouS future, PreSi-
dent Roosevelt's new farm pro-
gram today was thrown into the
Senate with what appeared to be
only a little more than half
hearted approval of its agriculture
committee.
Democratic leaders planned to
give the measure right-of-way on
the Senate'S legislative schedule,
but number of factors conSpired
to indicate that there will be con-
siderable delay before the bill is
written into law.
The committee voted to report
the bill to the Senate on a count
Of IA to 2, but this one-sided vote
did not indicate the feelings of
the Senators who sped it to the
Senate floor. Many members in
dictated that they doubted con-
Stitutionality of the legislation,
and simply felt that 1t should go
TO the Senate in the interest Of
speed, inaSmuch as it would have
to GO there eventually, and there
seemed no alternative in sight on
which the committee could agree.
In Revised Form
Two Of the committee members,
Senator Smith CD of South
Carolina, the chairman, and Sena-
tor Arthur Capper (RO of Kansas,
specifically stated that they voted
only to report the bill-not to re-
port it favorably,
AS finally sent from the Agri.
culture Committee to the Senate,
the measure retained the revised
form in which it was drafted by
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
and Chester Davis, who admins
tered the AAA, after the initial
form was rejected in committee.
Under this. the soil conservation
act of last year formed the basis
Of authority.
Broad powers to control produc-
ton and pay benefits to farmers
were embraced in the new meas
ure. It contained, too, an amend
ment setting forth that the policy
of the Government would be to
move within two years to farm
program in which the Federal and
State aid from the Federal Gov
eminent.
Constitution in Mind
One OF the amendments in
cluded was placed therein specifi-
cally with a view to bringing it
within the limits of the ConStitu-
ton. This simply set forth that
the real objective of the bill was
soil conservation and improve
ment, seeking to make crop con-
troll and benefits incidental to the
main objective.
Republicans for the most part
were opposed to the bill, and de-
nounced it as unconstitutional.
The Senate Republican leader,
Senator McNary of oregon, and
Senator Norbeck (RO of South |
Dakota, voted against 1t in COM
mittee.
Senator Bankhead CD of Ala
bama, was writing the report to-
day, and, if. he completed it in
time, will submit it to the Senate
this afternoon. In that event, it
is likely the Senate will adjourn
until Monday and take up the
farm bill with the beginning of
the new week.
The Senate initiation bloc mean
while was looking st the farm
program with longing eyes as an
Initiation m edium. Senat or
Thomas CD Of Oklahoma, pre-
vailed on the committee to ap-
pend at the end of the report a
statement pointing out several
methods of initiating currency.

Lou Koupal, the leading pitcher
in the league in games won, turned

Howard Craghead allowed the Sac
ramentans five hits while Seattle
was pounding out 10 for to 3

run in each contest for Seattle.
The Caklands kept abreast of the
Indians by hammering out 13 hits
for as many runs in their win over
Portland, as Jimmy Tobin scatter

Dutch Reuthers Seattle Indians
furnished the league leading OAKS
with their most uncomfortable week
of the season last week when the
rampant Indians downed Oakland
in seven out of eight contests.
The successful stand against OAK
land bounced the Indians right into
the pennant race and they now
stand only one game behind the
Meyermen. At their present rate
the Indians should take first place
before the end of the week.
The sudden reversal of form on
the part of the Seattle ball club was
brought about by good team work,
hard hitting and spirited play When
it got behind in ball game. Three
of its seven victories against Oak
land were pulled out of the fire by
spectacular play and sparkling raj
lies.
One of the reasons for the Seattle
Indians change of form is Chet
Smiths return to the lineup. Smith,
one of the most sensational players

injured in an automobile accident
near the end of the season last year.
He received a broken leg and arm,
as well as a fractured skull. Doctors
said that he would never play ball
again.
Reuther, however kept Smith on
the payroll and today he is playing
better ball than ever. He is hit
ting way over the 300 mark and is
one of the outstanding defense man
in the league. His play at short
strengthened the infield 100 per
cent and his extra base blows have
contributed to many. victories.
Last year his outstanding play
packed EN- in at the Seattle park,
and since his return to the lineup
the crowds again have become larg-
CT in Seattle. Smith is undoubtedly
the greatest drawing card the Scat
te club has ever had.
Chet went to school in San Diego,
where he was chosen as the out
standing prep school ball player in
southern California in his senior
year.
In high school he was a pitcher
and chucked three no-hit no run
games, He boasted a record of 27
wins and no losses in league and
