Up to this morning, authorities
said, the number Of applicants had
been less than during the final week
Of grace last year. Hourly sched-

Illegal Parking In
City Causing Buses
To Go Off Schedule
Protests Pour Into Police Headquarters 49, Com
ditiOn Of Sidewalks Draws Complaint

Complaints received from virtually
ali sections Of the city during the
past few days resulted In the an
Eiounccment at police headquarters
this morning that cars parked in
such q manner as to obstruct traffic
will henctforth be towed away by
order Of the police department and
the CO rowners assessed for both
towing and storage charges.
According to superintendent Of
Police Joseph H. Mclean, the IL
legal parking situation which has
furnished the police department this
winter with O major traffic prob
lem, has reached its peak during the
current week. Complaints have
been especially numerous from the
East Main and Walnut street sec
ton, where BUSES have been thrown
off schedule time and again be-
cause some car owner had left his
machine parked In such q way that
1t was impossible for larger We
hicles to pass.
Complaints Increasing
Sergeant Joseph Bagley, desk off,
Ger at police headquarters, said the
volume Of protests for the past few
days has been even greater than
after the heavy snowstorm Of sew
eral weeks ago when traffic was
tied up throughout the city because
Of improper parking on the streets.
Police authorities point out that
cars should be parked not more
than IL inches from the curb. Any
driver violating this regulation
therefore takes the chance Of hav.
ing his car towed away irnmediate-
1y upon receipt Of q complaint at
police headquarters. The usual tow
ing charge Is IS to whihc may be
added so cents or q dollar more for
storage In the event that cars are
NOT; claimed at once by the owners.

Says:

The National Economy League
caused quite . lot Of cOnSterna-
ton among the New Dealers
when it suggested that the Gov.
eminent stop wasting money on
Federal-aid programs, and leave
the handling of relief to the
neighbOrs Well, I don't see
where this is much improve
ment! NeighbOrs never return
anything, either.
Naturally, politicians aren't
very anxious to turn q job like
this over to the people next door
:. How could . mere nefghbOr
tell the man on the dole the cor.
rect way to vote.
Then, too, you can't expect
the New Dealers to give up the
opportunity Of coming in con.
tact with people who are unSuc-
cessful financially. It's ru-
mOred that that's where they
get most of their ideas.
OF course, / don't know what
the idea is, unless they figure to
pick up q little gossip on the
side. And, in that case, why not
just turn it over to the Black

B0C0CK PAY
HELD FIXED

Despite the fact that the House
approved a cut in the salary Of
Dr.. Edgar A. Bocock, superintend
ent Of Gallinger Hospital, the Dis
trict will still be required to pay
him his present salary again next
year, it was disclosed today in the
Senate hearings on the District
Appropriation bill for 1887.
The matter was explained by
District Auditor Dan Donovan who
said:
despite the reduction in the
estimate Of $1,000, we must still
continue to pay DIR. BOcOck
$500. His salary is fixed by
operation Of law. The position
has been classified under the
Classification Act, and that
classification determines the
salary DIR. BOcOck is legally en-
titled to. There is no way except
by an amendment to the law,
as I see the matter, whereby we
can reduce DIR. BOcOck's salary.
In other words, q recommends
ton Of q committee of Congress
cannot set aside the law. Con-
gress has delegated to the Civil
Service Commission the power
to administer the Classification
Act"

PARK METERS
OPPOSED. HERE

It will be several years before
the District tries out installing
parking meters on the streets Of
the Capital.
In the program for extending
the powers of the District Com
missioners over control Of local
traffic problems, draft Of a bill en-
abling the city heads to install
the parking meters at their dis
erection was sent to Senator Elmer
Thomas, chairman Of the Senate
Appropriation Subcommittee for
the District.
Today all three Commissioners
expressed themselves as against
the parking meter arrangement.
Commissioner George e. Allen
stated he was fundamentally OPP
posed to the renting Of public
space for parking.
The only municipal official In
favor Of the meters was Traffic
Director william A. Van Duzer,
who declared the meters had
worked out successfully in q num-
Der of cities and had enriched the
municipal treasures. He said that
in addition to increasing local
revenues, the meter plan would
solve parking problems in the
Capital.

mittee.
Questioned by Senator William
H. King CD of Utah as to what
justification he could give for q
81 500 item for a nurse, it was
revealed today, Mr.. Aronoff said
"When you know that we
have the job Of looking after
the physical welfare Of 1,4OO
adult males on the refOrmatOry
side, and that we have but one
doctor there, really do not
believe it should be necessary
to attempt to justify the need
for one nurse.
"At the present time we are
using what we can in the way
of prison help: but unfortunate
ly for us, we have never had but
one incarcerated man who had
had any nurse experience"
Later in discussing the need for
a stenographer Senator Elmer
Thomas CD Oklahoma, asked:
Don't you ever have . stenOg-
rapher sent down to stay with
you awhiIe?"

HINTS JUDGES
ORDER MAY.
Be IGNORED /.
Legislator Says Speed
Case Warrant Was
Mere FormaIity'

Representative Marion A. Zion
check has been served with q
warrant as a result Of his failure
to appear yesterday in Police Court
to answer to a charge Of speeding
10 miles an hour.
But it looks as though they
might have to get another warrant
to bring him in for failure to an
Swer this warrant-for while the
police say he agreed to be in court
at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning,
he says the whole thing was "a
mere formality'' and indefinite"
about such time as he is to appear.
Refuses to Vacate
zioncheck also revealed he is
not going to move from his
Harvard Hall apartment. After
all, apartments are rather scarce
in Washington.
Admitting he had received let
ter from the management asking
him to vacate at the end Of 80
days, the member Of Congress re-
marked: ...s g.
'"They have changed their
minds about having me move.
You know I'm a lawyer and 1
just pointed out to them the
difficulties they were facing in
trying to evict me. So they de-
cided I could stay just as long
as / like"
Hints HFrameup"
Representative zioncheck hint.
ed again that the arrest on the
speed charge is q police frame
up" When he failed to appear in
court yesterday. however, Judge
Walter E. Casey ordered his $25
collateral forfeited and a bench
warrant issued.
Since the member of Congress
lives in the Tenth precinct, the
warrant was sent there, and was
turned over to Sergeant George /.
Helmuth for service, with the in.
junction from Capt. Ira Sheetz
mot to embarraSs" the member of
Congress.
Pays Informal Call
So the sergeant paid an informal
call on Representative Zioncheck
last night and they chatted to-
gether. Finally, the sergeant left,
and reported to the precinct that
Representative Zioncheck had
agreed to attend q formal affair
before Judge Casey tomorrow
morning.
But that was last night, and
this morning he wasn't at all GER
tain that he would be there.
