 "'To be perfectly frank, 1t is not easy to see what the term "aboliSh- ing the New Deap means. Every. thing that is going on now is Q part of it - the whole vast system under whic hwe are living--the camps, the banks, the loans, the municipal ex- penditures, the new modes of law enforcement, everything. To attack the New Deal may be justified on political grounds, of course, but what 1s there to be done about 1t? What particular part of the system ought to be abolished? Has some. one something better to offer? Dis. raeh gave excellent advice when he said: "Let us define our terms""

PARK VIEW CITIZENS
OPPOSE RACING BILL
Association Also Takes Stand
Against Plan to Inspect Autos
Semi-Annually.

Opposition to a bill for legalized
horse racing in the District, now
pending in Congress, was voted by the
Park View Citizens Association last
night at its monthly meeting in the
Park View Platoon School. Chief op-
position was based on the belief that
q race track would attract an undesir-
able gambling element.
The association also opposed a pro-
posed bill to provide semi-annual in
spection of automobiles on the grounds
that the cost to motorists would onset
the benefits in preventing automobile
accidents, and that in States now
having a similar law no appreciable
decrease in accidents has been noted.
A request to Congress by District
health officers for increase in Health
Department appropriations was ap-
proved.
The group voted to recommend that
the District Fire Departments request
for the reinstatement of is men, sus-
pended when the flremen's vacation
period was reduced from 7 to Is days
wear be approved, since the 20-day
period has been restored. The body
also favors a request for renewal OF

SUBWAYS URGED
TO EASE TRAFFIC
Stanton Park Citizens Hear
Roberts and Van Duzer
Discuss Problem.

Talks by Peoples Counsel William
A. Roberts and william A. Van Duzer,
director of vehicles and traffic, fea-
tured a meeting on traff1c safety last
night by the Stanton Park Citizens
Association.
Roberts outlined a plan of subway
TRANSFORMATION as o solution to con-
gestion. He asked cooperation OF
passengers in aiding bus and street
car operators, citing the importance OF
keeping the drivers vision unob-
structed.
A street car underpass at Dupont
Circle was held by Van Duzer as the
most practical solution. He recon-
mended, also, that Thomas Circle be
redesigned, to provide wider trafhc
lanes.
Citing the importance of sufficient
traffic signal lights, he pointed out
that survey in 1884 showed the num-
ber of automobile accidents reduced
on an average of 80 per cent at inter-
sections controlled by signals. A re-
duction in street lights the same year,
he stated, resulted in a "a per cent
increase over the previous year in &C
cidents.
He emphasized the necessity OF
compulsory mechanical inspection OF
all automobiles "as one Of the greatest
traffic accident safeguards now avail
able for the money" He illustrated
the Importance of knowledge Of traf-
fic regulations by pointing out the
high rate of accidents in which non
residents are involved. ''The obvious
and relatively simple solution to this
condition" he said, "is standardiza-
ton of traffic regulations"
In regard to pedestrian trafiic, Var
Duzer advocated underpasses at thu
intersections of Fifteenth street ant
New York avenue, Fourteenth stree
and Pennsylvania avenue and Twelfth
street and Pennsylvania avenue.
Following the talks, two sound NOV
ing pictures. depicting the cause ane
cure of traffic accidents, were shown
through courtesy of the American All
