BY JAMES E. CHINN,

1.-THE time has arrived here when
you men in executive positions must
live up to your jobs"
This ultimatum was hurled at Dis
trict police and traffic officials today
by Representative Schultz, Democrat,
of Indiana during hearing before the
special subcommittee of the House
District Committee studying traffic
conditions.
Schultz made the declaration after
Traffic Director William A. Van Duzer
had pointed out that certain proposals
aimed at improving the traffic situa-
tion would meet stiff opposition.
He told the officials to 60 ahead and
carry out the plans despite anticipated
opposition. "As a member of this
committee" he declared, II will pro-
tect you to the limit"
Van Duzer, the first witness before
the subcommittee when it began its
traffic survey several weeks ago, was
recalled to the witness stand by
Schultz. primarily to find out why his
proposal for abolishing left turns in
the congested business sections had
not been carried out.
Walk Lights to Be Installed.
The traffic director explained that
surveys are being made with that pur-
pose in view, during which he revealed
walk lights" for the protection of
pedestrians are to be installed at Ger
tain intersections in the business area.

afforded. He added the federation
had not had time to make detailed
study of the effect of the proposal.
James C. Wilkes, as counsel for the
Washington Operative Builders Asso-
citation, gave general Endorsement to
the amendments. but suggested re-
vision of one paragraph which he
said would prevent owners of corner
lots building garage at the rear be-
cause they would be within 30 feet
Of the side streets.
Time for Study Asked.
The Washington Real Estate Board
is not entirely in favor of the amend
ments as drafted and urged time for
further study.
Other speakers urged the commits
sion to include provision requiring
that written notices OF proposed estab-
.lishments be sent to adjoining prop
erty owners.
Adoption of the amendments would
mean that clubs, fraternity houses.
hospitals and various types of busi-
ness could be established automa-
tically in prescribed use districts by
obtaining building or occupancy per-
nnits, In all cases where they now
may be stopped If property owners
refuse consents. However, the COM
mission provided for many me-
charical rules, particularly for gaso-
line stations, fuel yards, bowling
alleys. automobile repair shops,
bakeries, laundries and milk stations,
which would have to be met before
permit applications could con-
sidered.

DISTRICT FISCAL
BILL DELAY SEEN
BIanton Group, However, Is
Putting Finishing Touches
on Measure.
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

Plans of House leaders to call up
the 1887 District appropriation bill
early next week have gone awry and
indications are that it may not be con-
sidered until Wednesday or Thursday.
In the meantime, however, an Ap-
preparations Subcommittee headed by
Representative Blanton, Democrat. of
Texas, is putting finishing touches on
the measure so it will be ready to re-
port to the House Monday in event Of
another sudden change in the House
program
According to present arrangements,
the House will devote Monday to dis
cussion of the Ritter impeachment
case, thereby necessitating delay in
consideration Of the District bill. Since
only two days will be needed to dispose
of the measure-one day for general
debate and another for a reading Of
the bill and action on amendments
it IS believed it may not be called up
until Thursday. At any rate, only one
thing is certain at this time-the bill
will be considered some time next
week.
Features Kept Secret.
Chairman Blanton, as well as other
members of the subcommittee, are
guarding the features of the bill with

Schultz Tells Police Heads -
To ::Lipe Up to Your Jobs''
Ultimatun, at Traffic Hearing Hurled
after Van Duzer Points to Threat
0fOpp0siti0n to Changes.

Establishment of these lights, he
pointed out, will necessitate abolition
of left turns.
Only one "walk light" will be
erected at first as an experiment, Van
Duzier said, but the location has not
yet been determined. He told news
paper men after the hearing that
these lights would inconvenience mo-
torists and slow up traffic.
"Yes," replied one Of the reporters,
''but the subcommittee wants to drive
death from the highways"
Aside from serving an ultimatum on
District officials, Schultz vigorously
defended members of Congress, who
it has been charged, were wholesale
violatofs of the traffic regulations.
TT is physically impossible" he de-
clared, "for the 435 members of the
House to do all the damage laid at
their doors. I have asked police about
this and they tell me there are only
a few cases of traffic violations every
month or so by members of Congress
II hope this straightens out the
congressional end"
Double Parking Assailed.
Schultz also wanted to know why
double parking of trucks, which he said
contributed to accidents, had not been
stopped. He was told that such park
ing is permitted under certain condi-
tions by existing regulations.
Maj. Ernest w. Brown, superin-
tendent of police. also was recalled
to the witness stand to complete the
testimony begun last week.
In addition to renewing an appeal
for an increase in the personnel Of
the force so that more men could be
assigned to traffic enforcement duty.
Maj. Brown submitted 10-point pro-
gram for general improvement Of
traffic conditions. It follows:
/. A continuous education program
for both adults and children to make
them safety conscious.
2. More thorough examination Of
8ppllCdlltS III OkCA aVOA H~A AAAeo SAA$A
re-examination Of drivers at the time
Of license renewal.
8. A regulation requiring pedes-
TRANS to cross at intersections on the
proper signal, coupled, however, with
additional protection for pedestrians
at intersections, either by, establish
ing pedestrian lights or underpasses
4. Construction of vehicle and Pc
destrian overpasses at Thirteenth
street and Florida avenue and at New
York and Florida avenues northeast
S. imposition Of maximum penalties
in aggravated and serious cases Of
traffic violations, such as driving while
drunk, reckless driving and speeding
6. Establishment Of q separate court
to be known as the TRAFFIC Court, pre-.
sided over by Judge skilled in traffic
problems as well as the law.
Z. Increased personnel Tor the Police
Department, to bring about better OBJ
servance Of the traffic regulations.
8. Legal authorization fer issuance
Of trafic violation tickets, which an

courtesy to motorists.
Q. Abolition of all-night parking.

now issued without authority of law as
courtesy to motorists.
9. Abolition of all-night parking.
10. An increase in the motor equip
ment of the Police Department.
Recalled to the witness stand to
complete his testimony, Mai. Brown
was questioned first about the possi-
bility of increasing the motor cycle
patrol force. He admitted if Congress
would provide appropriations for equip
ment and increased compensation for
motor cycle officers, he could transfer
foot patrolmen to mounted traffic duty.
although he would hesitate to do that
at this time, because it would reduce
the number of men assigned to beats.
What the department really needs, he
said, is an increase in personnel.
"The proposition have in mind" ="
said Chairman Carpenter, "is that
traffic safety in the last few years has
been our gr.atest problem and should
receive the major attention of the
Police Department. My survey of po-
lice activities in various cities indi-
Gates it is minor problem"
Carpenter then cited statistics
gathered from various cities, showing
the population, number of police Of
ficers and the total number assigned
to traffic duty exclusively.
AS soon as Maj. Brown finished his
testimony, Inspector B. A. Lamb, in
charge of traffic, was called to the
stand. The first question, put to him
by Schultz, was:
what can you say about the traffic
situation?"
II concur in everything Maj. Brown
has said," Lamb began. Il don't
think I can say anything that would
add to or detract from what he has
said. Personally, would like to see
an increase in the force, particularly
in the motor cycle squad. It requires
mobile force to enforce our traffic
regulations"
Don't you think motor cycle men
are more efficient in enforcing traffic
regulations than men in scout cars?"
Schultz asked.
II believe they are
Lamb then was excused and Traffic
Director Van Duzer recalled for ques-
tioning by Schultz.

ZONE UNIT DELAYS
ENDING CONSENTS.
Commission Is Determined,
However, to Abolish
Approval Buying.

Though determined to take steps
to end the buying of the approval of
adjoining property owners for estab-
lishment of businesses under coming
classifications, the Zoning Commission
has deferred for two weeks decision
on its proposal to wipe consent" fea-
lures from the regulations.
The Commission is believed to favor
adoption of the proposal in some form,
possibly with numerous notifications,
in a move to strike at "racketeering'
in the demands for, or offering of,
payments for property owner consents.
Much of yesterdays public hearing
on the plan was devoted to explana-
tions of the meaning and effect Of the
score of proposed changes in sections
of the rules. At the conclusion, COM
mission chairman said two weeks
would be granted to permit individuals
or organization spokesmen to study de-
tails of the proposal and to submit
written arguments.
IS Per Cent Consent Necessary.
In many cases the regulations now
permit various types of businesses to
be located in certain use districts only
when the applicant for permit Is
able to obtain the written consents
of the owners of rs per cent of prop
critics within 200 feet of the proposed

sums ranging up to $4,000 for prop
erty owner consents.
the consent rules was voiced by Vernon
E. West, assistant corporation counsel,
who worked with coming and planning
officials for six months in drafting the
revised rules.
Capt. Hugh P. Dram, executive
officer of the commission, declared the
consent feature never would have been
adopted here had the District zoning
act been adopted five years later than
its enactment in 1920. Other cities
have avoided the plan in later years,
he said. He recalled that the District
was one of the pioneers in coming.

He and west referred to decision
by the washington State Supreme
Court holding the consent arrange
