FAMILY IS SAVED
FROM HOME LOSS
Veteran Also Gets Steady
Job as Eviction Delay
Is Obtained.

Cooperation by public and private
agencies today saved from eviction a
World War veteran, his wife and three
children. In addition he was given
a steady job.
The man, living in the 1900 block
of Gales street northeast, was warned
yesterday by the United States
marshals office that his landlord had
insisted on his eviction because of a
rent delinquency of s32 so. Execution
of the eviction was scheduled for this
morning.
Yesterday afternoon, however, the
marshals Office conferred with the
American Legion, the United States
Employment Service and the rental
agent for the property.
The result was sl3.5o-per-week job
for an indefinite period, found by the
employment service; pledge of sup
Elementary aid after May ! from the
Legion and agreement by the landlord
to allow the tenant to stay until next
Monday, with the disposition of the
case to be determined by the family's
ability to pay at that time.
Both husband and wife are employ
able and have worked at odd jobs
Up to April /, however, they received
supplemental relief from the public
assistance division.
With two children in school and
the rent amounting to S325O a month,
all sources of income were needed, the
man said yesterday.
No other relief case evictions were
scheduled today, the marshal's Office
said.

SEEKS VAN DUzER
REPORT ON PLAN
AS AID TO SAFETY
Would Conduct Experiment,
for Period of Four |
Months Only. /
SUGGESTION PERSONAL, !
COMMISSIONER SAYS
Present Restrictive Parking Rules
Cannot Be Enforced, He Holds,
Citing Causes.

Adoption Of an absolute ban on
parking of cars on all streets in the
downtown congested area through
out business hours was advocated
today by Commissioner George E.
Allen, as a means Of lessening dam
ger Of accidents.
He asked Commissioner Melvin C.
Hazen, who supervises the Traffic
Department, to call on Traffic Direc-
tor William A. Van Duzer for a re-
port covering the suggestion.
Allen offered his plan as a new
approach to the traffic evil, proposing
the daytime parking ban in the
interests of the safety Of pedestrians
and motorists alike, rather than as
a means Of expediting traffic move
ment. which he said appeared to him
to have been the primary objective
OF many experiments tried in the
past.
Experimental Period Asked.
Allen proposed that the ban be made
effective for an experimental term Of
four months, to be abandoned at the
end Of that period if it fails to produce
desirable results and to be made per.
manent if it is successful.
This is my personal suggestion and
does not yet represent the views Of
the Board Of Commissioners" said
Allen. 1T may prove very unpopular,
but something has got to be done. We
must make drastic attempt to i'm
prove conditions.
IF the daytime ban of parking I'm
the downtown section is not to De
adopted. then I would be in favor of
allowing unlimited downtown parking.
As 1t Is now. present restrictive park
ing rules cannot be enforced as eff
clently as they should be nor as i'm
partially as they should be-"
Details withheld.
Remarking that he was not an ex-
pert on traffic, Allen said he would
leave details of the plan TO those
| verSed in conditions. The ban might
affect streets from Constitution avenue
to K street and from Fifth to Seven
teenth streets. 1t was suggested the
hours might be from am. to pm
Allen said common horse sense"
would indicate that present limited
parking restrictions increase conges-
tion and hazards % the public, as
thousands of cars cruise through the
downtown section as drivers search for
parking spots and as hundreds OF Car
owners shift their machines from one
place to another to escape tickets.
Early in the administration of the
present Board of Commissioners an
experimental ban on parking on F,
G and Seventh streets was adopted,
only to be abandoned before the end
of a 30-day trial period when mer-
chants protested violently that the
rule had driven many of their cus-
toners to other stores Some officials
responded that the trial had not been
long enough for the merchants to
know definitely, but the plan was
given up.
