Beer Flows in Street
As Truck Overturns

Tongues hung out of several
hundred mouths yesterday as spec
tators gathered at the intersection
of Virginia Avenue and Twenty
fifth Street Northwest, where q
heavily laden beer truck, in at.
tempting to turn a corner, swayed
and toppled against the side Of a
Capital Transit bus and afterward
settled over on its side, spewing
its foamy contents into the
cutters.
The truck, operated by William
]. Jones, %, of Gil Seventh st.
N. w., was travelling in the same
direction as the bus when the mis-
hap occurred, according to police.
The driver of the bus, which con-
tanned four passengers, was Joseph
C. Edwards, of 1400 A st. s. E.
None was injured.

NEW PARKING
BAN SOUGHT
F0RD.C.
Proposed Traffic Rules
Would Clear Streets
In Rush Hours

Drastic changes in local traffic
regulations, including a ban on
parking during rush hours on all
arterial highways, particularly in
the downtown section, and a regu-
lation for pedestrian control, will
be sought at this session of Con-
gress by the District Commission
ers.
At a meeting late yesterday with
members Of a special committee
on traffic the city heads decided
to submit a draft of a bill to
broaden the powers of the Commits
sioners in making regulations to
the Senate District Appropriations
subcommittee on Wednesday.
The city heads have been as
Sured that specific authority to
bring about these changes will be
granted them by the Senate COM
mittee. The conferees decided to
ask for authority to ban parking
on all important highways during
rush hours, which was viewed as
a step toward an all-time parking
prohibition in the downtown
area.
It also was agreed to seek leg
iSlation which will empower the
Commissioner to license and regu-
late parking lots, enact a snow
removal law, Stagger hours OF
schools and cut down the number
of taxicabs now operating in the
Capital.
The conferees agreed that these
suggested regulations plus the
pending legislation covering in
Creased penalties for reckless driv-
ing and semi-annual inspection Of
automobiles would amply cover
the local traffic situation.
Vice Chairman Richmond B.
Keeck, Of the Public Utilities Com
mission, said there are now 1920
taxicabS licensed in the District
and it is proposed to cut this num-
Der down to 1000 by declining to
grant additional licenses after re-
vocation or voluntary surrender
of permits by cab drivers.

JUDGE LAUDED
FOR DECISION

Police Court Judge Edward M.
Curran, who yesterday employed
the Biblical Injunction to IS
Migrants to Go, and sin no
more"-at the same time direct
ing that they spend at least IS
minutes at Good Friday services,
today said he has received scores
Of letters and telephone calls
praising him for his action.
More than that, he said, none
Of the IS appeared in court to-
day, although some of them were
familiar police characters. Asked
if he believed they lived up to
their promise to go to church,
Judge Curran said:
Perhaps one or two did. And
perhaps none. If they did go
to church, they were probably
benefited. But at any rate
they kept out Of sight and out
Of trouble. If any Of them had
appeared today they would
have gone to Jail for 100 days.
But 1 am glad none Of them
was in the docket"

ZiOncheck Wants
Capital MOued
To Seattle

Representative Marion Zion
check, who hasn't shown any
great love for Washington since
his arrest for pulling all the plugs
out of his apartment house
switchboard, yesterday announced
he is going to introduce a bin to
move the National Capital to his
home town, Seattle, Wash.
He will make this move, he
said, in the interests Of the dig
nifty" of Congress. In Zioncheck's
opinion, there are so many things
wrong with this city it is almost
impossible to catalogue them.
while Seattle is akin to Paradise.

To be or not to be was the prob lem which members of the Water bury Republican club tried to decide last night at Q meeting at 34 North Main street.

Lack of finances, an absence of cooperation from other g. o. p. organizations in the city and various other reasons were given as tl.s reason for the fact that the Waterbury Republican club, now only @ few months old, is fighting for It's existence.

WILEY STIPEND PLAN UNDERWAY
Holy Cross Grads Outline Ideas for Raising
 Scholarship Fund

The Waterbury Scholarship at the College of Holy Cross, Worces- ctr, Mass, in memory of the late Stephen w. Wilby, for more than 20 years principal of Crosby high school and one of the best be- loved educators this city ever knew, was effectively launched yesterday afternoon at a meeting of officers of the Naugatuck Valley club at the home of It's president, Dr. M. J. Lawlor, l68 North Main street.
 Many active plans for raising the complete scholarship, which will be awarded annually to local high school graduates adjudged the most worthy of receiving 1t, were dis- cussed and number of them placed in operatoin. While main reliance on raising the scholarship fund will be placed on Holy Cross alumni in this city and vicinity the general public, particularly those who knew and loved Stephen w. Wiiby, in- cluding thousands of former Crosby students who attended the school in his regime, will be given an op- portunity to pay tribute to his netn- ory.
 At an early spring meeting of the Naugatuck Valley club in this city Q nucleus of the Wilby Scholarship fund was raised through subscrip- ton on 0 voluntary basis and is now credited as such ct Holy Cross col- lege in Worcester. It is hoped that by graduatoin time, which occurs this year early in June, 6 sufficient sum will have been turned over to college authorities to warrant the awarding of the scholarship for the i036-37 term.
 An active campaign is now being conducted by the club in this city to raise such funds as will enable such an action as this to be taken. It is expected that when the officers, executive board, and scholarship committee members meet next week much material progress will be re- ported.
