$500 Bride.tO.Be
Took From, Bank
Reported Lost

A young Washington woman, fairly
bubbling over with happiness, walked
into a downtown bank yesterday to
draw out $500 she had helped her
youthful fiance save during the year
50 they could be married shortly after
Christmas.
She planned to take the money to
him to show that they were both right
when they figured II months ago they
could put away enough in a year to
become man and wife. Furthermore
she wanted to show him the real
money, not simply check.
Her happiness. however, soon gave
way to tears of despair. Shortly after
she left the bank, she discovered the
money, in brown envelope, had been
dropped or taken from under her arm.
She sobbed out her story to him last
night.
The disheartened couple is issuing
plea today through The Star for the
return of the money that meant so
much to their future. The liberal re-
ward they are offering couldn't buy
the Joy that would be theirs If the
money is returned.

SCHULTZ OFFERS
TRAFFIC PROGRAM
Three-Polnt Plan Urged by
House Member to Curb
Mounting Death Toll.
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

Aroused over Washingtons ever
mounting traffic fatality record, Rep
resentative Schultz, Democrat, of In
diana initiated a move today to drive
death from the highways"
Three plans were proposed by Mr..
Schultz to curtail what he described
as slaughter" of motorists and pc
destrians
l. A round-table conference of DO
lice and traffic officials for clinical
diagnosis" of traffic ills.
2. Substantial increase in the traffic
patrol force.
3. Decentralization Of the traffic
force and assignment of all motor
cycle officers to precincts, making
them directly responsible to the cap
tain. Under such plan, he declared,
the captain should be held responsible
for all accidents in his precinct.
Mr.. Schultz said he would urge the
House District Committee, OF which
he is member, to arrange a confer
ence with police and trafic officials.
Let's call in these officials and see
If something can't be done to stop
the alarming increase in traffic deaths"
he declared. Surely these men whose
job it is to protect the people of Wash
ington can offer some suggestions
for improving conditions. If it's
money they need. let's give it to them.
l would even favor an increase in
hn Sn1ino if SC
But I don't believe it is.
Personally, I am confident an in
crease in the traffic patrol force
would help reduce the accident rate.
I think. too, more trafic lights should
be installed. There are yet number
Of bad intersections in the District
where lights should be placed
Mr.. Schultz was member Of a
special subcommittee Of the District
Committee which several years ago
made an exhaustive study of traffic
conditions. At that time he proposed
decentralization of the Traf1ic Bu-
reau. Police officials later followed
his suggestion and shifted number
Of motorcycle officers to the pre-
cincts, but retained a skeleton force
at police headquarters and assigned
then1 to the special traffic division
with Capt. Milton D. Smith at its
head.
Several days ago Mr.. Schultz urged
establishment of pedestrian under
passes along Pennsylvania avenue and
other dangerous points in the con-
gested section. The public reaction to
that proposal, he said, was very
favorable"
