A few weeks ago the Circuit
Court ruled that Julian Black, man.

the partnership of Black and Brow

was the result of the operation of
an illegal venture and that the
clean hands Of the Court could not
touch it.
Browdy claimed that the money
which went into the training and
perfection of Joe Louis was COM
munity money of Black and Browdy
and made in a policy establishment.
Attorney Irwin c. Mollison, who is

Urgent Problem

TT is becoming increasingly apparent that major
l. operation will shortly be necessary if Washington
is to maintain the kind of transportation system
adequate to the community's growing needs.
For this reason the recent report of the special
mttee on subways of the Board of Trade recommending
enactment of bill providing for thorough study Of
the subway proposal is an important contribution to
discussion which has proceeded for several years.
The special committee has made rather detailed
study of the subway situation in various cities and has
considered the different suggestions for building SUBJ
ways here.
The data gathered by the committee we'll worth
the consideration of Congress and the many civic bodies
of the District which will have to wrestle with
problem which is growing in complexity.
The concentration of most Government offices in
very limited area and the prospect that there will shortly
be even greater concentration give added urgency to
the mass transportation problem
It has become obvious that with the best will in
the world the transit company operating street cars and
Buses cannot meet the concentrated demands for service
into and out of this congesed area by utilization of pres
ent facilities.
It is becoming more and more of physical impossi-
biGty to enough surface or buses into the
offices within relatively limited time.
The construction of elevated lines in the National
Capital beyond the realm of possibility, owing to the
destruction of beauty which such construction would
entail.
There would to be left therefore, only the sub
way type Of construction means Of relieving an
intolerable condition.
Specific suggestions to the routes which subways
could take and to the type of construction have al
ready been offered and are considered in the Board of
Trade report.
Other specific suggestions will likely be advanced dur
ing subsequent discussion.
All of these should and doubt will be thoroughly
considered before the city is definitely committed to
any particular program.
It would be WELL however if all civic bodies in the
community should at start committees to work to
study the subway matter with view to developing
intelligent and united sentiment behind essential
program.
