0NE-MAN CARS
DRAW BLASTS

A whitening attack was leveled
at the Capital Transit Company
today by Representative Everett
M. Dirksen (RO of Illinois, and
former Peoples Counsel, William
A. Roberts as the Randolph sub
committee went into its second
session investigating the activities
of the traction company.
Principal blast was directed at
the company's operation of one
man street cars which Represen-
tative Dirksen seeks to abolish by
a bill now under consideration by
the subcommittee.
Lack of safety, comfort and serv-
ice to passengers on the cars op-
Grated by one man who acts as
both motorman and conductor
was charged by both the Repre-
sentative and Mr.. Roberts.
Mr.. DirkSen, announcing that
he is a frequent rider of street
cars, declared that from his own
experience" he cannot understand
how one-man operation can be de-
Tended.
Both men charged that the one
man cars are slower and that acct
dents are more likely to occur both
inside and outside of the street
cars than when the cars are op-
Grated by both a motorman and
a conductor.
Bitter debate between Mr.. Rob
ertS, who appeared for the sub
committee, and members of the
company including E. Barrett
Prettyman, counsel for the transit
concern and former corporation
counsel, marked the entire pro-
ceedings.
Mr.. Roberts pointed out that
the Federation of Citizens ASSocia-
ton has consistently opposed the
one-man cars, and further told the
subcommittee that Washington
traffic and transportation prob
lens are unique" because of the
presence of the Federal Govern
ment peak loads" of two periods
during the day.
TIE one-man cars, Mr.. Roberts
said, are decidedly unsafe" some
times resulting in fatal accidents

change and issuing transfers" &C.

KENNEDY WARS
ON 'G0UGING'

Attacking Washington land
lords as being without a con-
science" Representative Ambrose
j. Kennedy CD of Maryland,
today announced he would intro
duce a bill confiscating all rent
profits above a flair return"
The Maryland Congressman,
head of the special House District
tax subcommittee which brought
out the omnibus tax program,
declared he would introduce the
bill as soon as he could have it
drafted.
Local landlords, he said. are
"gouging" the public and taking
advantage of the housing short
age, adding:
Ordinarily, 1 would be
opposed to the legislation 1
propose to offer, but the situa-
ton in Washington demands
action, and 1 intend to do
something about it."
Representative Kennedy eStl-
mated that a Z per cent return on
investment is ample. The District
government, he said, under terms
of the proposed bill, would be
entitled to take away all profits
in excess of the fair return"
allowable.
He also pointed out that the
landlords would do everything in
their power to evade payment of
the 20-cent real estate tax increase
voted by the House by passing it
on to their tenants. He stated:
"DOeS anybody think the land
lords are going to pay that in
crease? Certainly not. It's going
to be added to our rents"
Mr.. Kennedy'S subcommittee
was overruled by the House,
which voted to eliminate the in
come tax recommended by the
Kennedy group and to substitute
the real property tax increase
from $3.50 to $1.70.

REPAIR

WORKERS
Sorting Out
Labor With Special
SkiIIs for Jobs
BY EARL GOODWIN

If the right combination of un-
employment and experience can
be attained in the relief picture
in the District of Columbia, then
the army of relief workers in WPA
can be counted on this summer
to accomplish much necessary re-
pair work in the public schools,
including painting, washing walls
and floors, repairing steam pipes,
fixing up playing grounds, etc.
There is more than $4,000
work-much of it at union wages
to be done on the schools during
the summer vacation. The whole
set of projects is on the desks of
Commissioner Allen, WPA admins
TRAITOR, and his chief WPA assistant
Otto CasS, and yet it may be that
some of this work cannot be done
as a relief project because there
are not enough men of certain
skills on relief at this moment.
OuSkA1Icu ARMY
Washington'S relief clients" are
largely unskilled workmen of the
husky pick and shovel type. They
have graded parks, built roads,
dug bitches, etc.; and unless they
are taken into private employ
ment in a hurry, there is going
to be considerable study necessary
to continue a long range project
program.
Just what will be done after
July /, when the new relief bill
presumably will have been enacted

lations and limitations from the

REF0RMAT0RY
HEADQUIzzfD
ON 'LAXITY'
Judqe McMahon Calls
DR.. Smith After
Minor Riot

DR.. Carrie Weaver Smith, super.
intendent of the National Train
ing school for Girls, was hastily
summoned to Police Court today
by Judge John P. Mcmahon to
explain what he called "laxity" of
supervision at the reformatory as
an aftermath of the minor riot
which took place there last night.
Processing establishment at the
fact that a colored girl, Agnes
Thomas, II, who is charged by re-
formatory officials with having
participated in hair-pulling
scramble, had been allowed to leave
the school unsupervised, Judge Nc
Mahon declined to pass sentence
on her until he had conferred with
DR.. Smith.
Spent Day Hunting Job
On the witness stand the colored
girl testified that she had returned
to the school last night after a
day of job hunting. Mrs. Emma
Koehler, supervisor of the parole
department at the school, ex-
planned that it was the present
policy of DR.. Smith to allow in
mates who could obtain jobs to be
paroled.
She explained that the girl had
returned to the school last night
in an intoxicated condition and
had precipitated a fight between
the colored girls and the white
girls. The point in dispute was
said to have been the LouiS-Brad-
dock fight.
Policemen Scratched
The riot was quelled only after
a squad of Seventh precinct po-
licemen had appeared on the scene
and suffered their share of shin
kicks and scratches.
Eight girls were taken into Gus
tody, but only the Thomas girl
was charged with intoxication
and disorderly conduct.

MOUNT RAINIER
MAYOR HITS
FARE BOOST
Resident
Urges Adoption Of
One-Man Cars

Protesting that the present
service offered by the Capital
Transit Company was made
quate," John C. Duever, Mayor
and common counsel of Mount
Rainier, Md, today indicated his
opposition to an increase in local
transportation fares.
Speaking at the Public Utilities
Commissions public hearing on
the conlpany's request for fare
increase to four tokens for IS
cents, Mr.. Duever pointed out that
such a boost would not be fair
to patrons.
Milo H. Brinkley, representing
the Georgetown Citizens Associa-
ton said his organization was in
favor of the substitution Of one
man street cars for the two-man
type. He declared one-man opera
ton would lead to a substantial
saving for the company.
Have Proven Safe
Brinkley said operation Of the
new one-man cars had proven safe
and efficient to date, and pointed
out that further subStitutions of
one-man cars would permit the
company to purchase new equip.
ment and improve it's service.
Savings invested in this manner
would eliminate necessity for a
fare increase, and might even lead
to a reduction, he added.
trn kNINr ~
certain areas have been neglected
in favor of express buses and
modern equipment in other Sec
tionS, representatives of colored
civic associations charged.
Robert A. Pelham, representing
the Howard Park Citizens Asso-
citation and the Federation of
Civic Associations, said express
bus service in the upper northwest
sections served a comparatively
sparSely settled area, and that the
fare should be raised on these
lines.
In contrast with demands Of
the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations for a reduced fare, the
colored organizations merely in
dicated opposition to an increase.
Better Service Ahead
Lieut.. Col. Howard D. Queen,
Reserve Corps, representing the
Northeast Civic Association, made
a plea for better service in the
northeast section, pointing out
that the most Anticipated equip
ment is being made to serve that
area.
He said that under the present
service given by the company, no
fare increase was justified.
A similar attitude was taken by
Prof. Charles NJ. Thomas, of the
Northeast Boundary Civic ASsocia-
ton, and George H. Ganaway, Of
the Marshall Heights Civic AS
ISOLATION.
