Privileged Peanut Vender
And Traffic Ticket Fixing.

THURSDAYS papers carried two
interesting stories which illus
trate and emphasize one Of the
serious and distinctive District
problems. Rice Hooe, the new
prosecuting attorney at the Police
Court, Is quoted as having issued
orders forbidding the fixing" of
any traffic tickets. He may be able
to carry out this policy If left
alone, but the District Commis-
sioners, or one Of them, have been
known to intercede In some cases
under influential pressure and
then what can their subordinate
do but "fix" the ticket as requested.
The other item told that the at
tempt to make the peanut vender
near the White House obey the
law, which Is applicable to all
venders, has failed through the
Intervention Of the wife Of the
President. It Is reported that
Commissioner Allen has called Oh
the police IN this case az tne re.
quest Of Mrs. Roosevelt.
Close students Of local affairs
recognize as Q serious problem
the large number Of people Of In
fiuence who are above the law or
will intervene in behalf Of some
friend, relative or other favorite'
to have the law ignored in case Of
violation. The harm comes not
only from letting some go scot
free, but from denying the same
privilege to the rank and file Of
citizens. The tramc laws are

Washingtoniana Division
Needs an Assistant.
NyAY@YrHY<,1cpr rr,Hyrr ~

A INVOLVEMENT by the Public
Library Of its Winter schedule
emphasizes the need for an assist
ant in the Washingtoniana division,
as requested In the estimates of
the Board Of Library Trustees. The
central library is now open on
week days from 9 am. to 8 pm,
except on Fridays, when 1t closes
At ! pm. The art and sociology
divisions are open from 8 am. to
. PM, while the Washingtoniana
division closes ut 1 pm. daily. On
Sundays the hours are from 2 to 6
pm, with only the reading and
reference rooms open.
With an assistant In the WASH
ingtoniana division 1t would be pos
sible to have that important col
lection open when other depart
ments Of the library are open.
Many citizens active in civic af-
fairs and interested in Washing-
ton, particularly as related to the
past, are employed during the
only time the Washingtoniana di-
vision is open. A great many have
expressed to this observer q de-
sire to dig into this gold mine of
local information, but have been
denied the opportunity because Of
the restricted hours.
Another cause for dissatisfaction
with the public library system Is
the necessarily restricted hours the
branches and subbranches are
open. OF course it Is generally un-
derstood that the library ofncials

and still leave vacancies for expected
volunteers, when the emergency arises,
1t Il considered that the maximum
peace strength Of the Naval Reserve
and the Marine Corps Reserve should
be such as to provide approximately
80 per cent Of total requirements, or
5000 ofncers and 152 900 men for the
Naval Reserve and 1850 officers and
IS, 200 men for the Marine Corps Re-
serve.
The recommendation was made that
the Naval Reserve be divided into four
separate branches, as follows: The
Fleet Reserve, the Merchant Marine
Naval Reserve, the National Naval
Reserve and the Volunteer Reserve.
For the Marine Corps 1t was recon-
mended that the divisions be as fol-
lows: Fleet Marine Corps Reserve,
National Marine Corps Reserve and
Volunteer Marine Corps Reserve.
It Is proposed that the Fleet Reserve
be composed of all enlisted men trans
ferred or assigned to the Naval Re-
serve after four years or more hon.
orable service in the regular Navy.
The numbers vary from year to year.
As for the Merchant Marine Reserve,
it was pointed out that the basic ship
ping policy of the United States pro-
vides for the building up of merchant
marine for the purposes Of national
defense. The Navy may eventually
take over about two-thirds Of the
gross tonnage of the merchant ma
rine in major war operations. At pres
ent, about 1000 vessels are on the
Navy Departments approved list" to
be taken over by the Navy in the event
of war. 1t was recommended that on
board vessels Of the approved list there
should be an average Of five officers
who have received naval training and
indoctrination, for efficient mobiliza-
ton and operation with the fleet. In
addition, 1t was said, each vessel
should have two organized gun crews,
. communication unit and an engi-
neering unit. This, it was added, will
require Merchant Marine Naval Re-
serve Of approximately 5000 officers
and $4,000 enlisted men. The report
said that this branch Of the reserve
should be prepared to mobilize and
tight on board their own vessels with
as few regular naval personnel addi-
tional as possible.

One-man Car Decision
And Citizens Federation.

CTRoNG opposition to the recent
- decision of the Public Utili-
ties Commission favoring the one
man car Is expected to break out
at the meeting of the Federation
Of Citizens Associations on Sat
urday night. A number of the
constituent organizations and the
federation itself are on record in
opposition to the one-man car.
Some Of the more conservative
feel that the one-man operation Of
modern equipment such as the new
streamline cars present the matter
in an entirely new form. 1t is
claimed that the local idea Of the
one-man car has been formed from
the old type which has been in use
here for many years. These were
old cars which were never satisfac-
tory even as two-man cars when
they were new. They were given a
patched-up alteration and con-
verted into the very worst type Of
one-man car imaginable.
Another new factor entering into
the consideration of this problem
Is the favorable impression made
on many riders by the one-man
bus. There are some who hold that
the bus Is q far more difficult We
hicle to operate in the midst Of
traffic than the car which is driven
on the rails of its right Of way.
Some promptly accept this conten-
ton and insist that for this very
reason the bus should be manned
by two men.
All Of these points we're brought
out by spokesmen for the civic Or
ganizations at the public utilities
hearing, but these were merely
matters Of amateur opinion and
not supported by such expert evi-
dence as presented by the COM
pany. A number of those in at
tendance at the hearing admitted
that the company put up strong
case, but the opposition was weak.
1t Is not safe to predict what
action, If any, the Federation will
take, but in any event there Is no
likelihood of the commission re-
versing its action until q thorough
trial shall. prove the one-man car
Of the newest type to be un-
satisfactory.

Passing Of De Luxe Buses
Recalls Federation Opposition.

VIGOROUS opposition and ridi-
cule were hurled by the Fed
Grafton Of Citizens Associations at
the petition Of the Capital Traction
Co. back in 1925 to operate a line
Of de luxe buses to Chevy Chase.
The chairman Of the Committee on
Public Utilities, a delegate from
the Brightwood Association. offered
resolution requesting the Com
mission to require the company to
put In q super-de luxe line to
Brightwood. While the Chevy
Chase line was to have a fare Of
Is cents, he asked that the line to
Brightwood be on a 5o-cent fare.
The Brightwood resolution was
voted down, as was also the Chevy
Chase proposal. and the federation
entered a strong protest before the
Utilities Commission.
The de luxe line was authorized
by the commission and has con-
tinued operation until week before
last. During the last three months
1t has been run at a decided loss.
1t was foregone conclusion. ac-
cording to some Of the Chevy Chase
residents. that it would be sup
planted by the regular local and
express bus service which have re-
placed the trolley line.
For a long time the de luxe serv-
ice had a strong appeal because of
its guarantee Of seat to every pas
senger and also its smoking COM
partment. In the early days many
left their automobiles home and
went to town in these busses. The
fare was reduced to 20 cents and
later to IS cents.
