NEW WAR ON NOISE

Commissioners Promise Ac.
tion After Senator's Blast
at D. c. Bill Hearing.

A new war on city noise, especially
the sirens used by fire apparatus and
ambulances, has been declared by
Senator Carter Glass, Democrat, Of
Virginia, who lives at the Raleigh
Hotel. The Senator expressed his
views in no uncertain terms while the
Commissioners were testifying before
the Senate Subcommittee on District
Appropriations yesterday, and they
promised to see what can be done
about it.
1T would not be hard to get sirens
that DO not tear peoples nerves
apart" said the Virginian. who added
that at times it sounds as though the
drivers are trying to see who can pro-
duce the loudest sound effect
The Senator also protested against
the stentorian tones of newsboy on
nearby corner late at night. The
Senator said he would not object to
that in the case Of an extra paper In
some emergency, but contended it is
not necessary to call out headlines
80 loudly as TO be heard IN Alex
andria"
The Virginian first raised the issue
of the fire and ambulance sirens at
a District Committee meeting about
four years ago, and he recalled that
at that time the committee adopted
resolution on the subject.

BRIDGES REPAIRED
FOR RIVER TRAFFIC.
Machines Operating Draws
and Swings Cleaned
After Floods.

District electricians today began
cleaning and repairing the mechanism
by which the spans of two of WASH
ington's five bridges are operated.
Inspections yesterday showed that
mud washed into the electrical equip
ment by the Potomac flood of last
week had clogged part Of the
machinery and injured the electrical
connections of the spans of the High
way Railroad and Memorial Bridges.
The damage Is not so severe that
river traffic will be hampered. except
at the Memorial Bridge, and 1t was
believed after preliminary examina-
tions that a through cleaning and
possibly some new wiring will restore
the machinery to good condition.
The Memorial Bridge will not be
opened to river traffic for at least
several days longer. c. Marshall
Finnan, superintendent Of the National
Capital Parks, announced late yeter-
day. He said the four electric motors
will have to be sent to Baltimore to
be dried out and repaired. Automobile
traffic will not be affected.
The openings in Highway and Rail-
road Bridges are swing spans, and that
! of the Memorial Bridge is draw span.
Key Span Escapes Damage.
Key Bridge escaped damage and
its level is so high that it is seldom
necessary to operate the draw span
| there.
Piers and foundations Of Chain
Bridge were found to be unhurt by
the terrific poundings Of the flood,
but injuries to the superstucture were
found to be so great that Capt. H. c.
WhitehurSt, director OF highways, ex-
pressed the opinion the bridge will
not be open to traffic for several weeks,
possibly months.
He doubted, however, that the
bridge would be scrapped to await its
replacement by the proposed new span
Other District officials also expressed
the opinion the present bridge would
be repaired, unless a final inspection
shows the cost would be excessive

and study was made Of the roadbeo

The Districts chief interest in the

warfare in Ethiopia.
With the questions Of both the
Rhineland crisis and the Italo-Ethio-

way as to leave means for new nego-
tiations after Sundays Reichstag elec-
ton, called by Hitler to approve his
