A. A. A. ASKS CONTROL
FOR PARKING AREAS
Immediate Action Sought to Halt
Thousands of Dollars Dam.
age to Cars.

Immediate regulation Of parking
lots, to insure Washington motorists
against damage to cars. amounting to
thousands Of dollars annually, was
urged yesterday by the A. A. A.
AS individual losses and damage to
automobiles received in dealing with
the million-d parking business
are usually so small as not to merit
litigation, because Of cost, still the
aggregate over period Of time runs
into thousands Of dollars, it was said.
The only way in which parking at
tendants can be brought to account is
by proving before jury they failed
to exercise reasonable precautions,
involving an expense amounting to
far more than the damage
Most cases involve scratched paint,
dented tenders, rundown batteries
and stolen articles. Often damage is
due, the A. A. A. said to cars being
parked in the street after space has
been paid for.
Complaints have been coming in
steadily to club headquarters con-
corning a score or more practices
detrimental to motorists who are
forced to use lots because of inade-
quate parking facilities elsewhere, the
announcement stated.

SEAL SEEKS RIGHT.
Of D. c. C.T0CONTROL
PARKING BY SIGNS
Will File Brief Answering
Contest Of Attorney in
Parking Case.
QUESTION IMPORTANT,
JUDGE M'MAHON SAYS
Corporation Counsel Disregards
Position of Assistant Who
Doubted Legality.

Corporation Counsel ElWood H Seal
decided yesterday to fight in Police
Court for verdict upholding the
authority of the District to restrict
parking by use of official signs.
The issue YVES raised Friday by
Attorney Cornelius H. Doherty., l010
Vermont avenue, who appeared before
TRAFFIC Judge John P. Mcmahon to
contest charge he had disobeyed an
official sign in parking closer than
48 feet to the intersection OF Vermont
avenue and K street.
The issue will be joined when Seal
or one of his assistants files a brief
answering the arguing OF Doherty that
official signs are invalid unless backed
up by formal regulation Of the
Commissioners which has been given
legal notice.
Says d. c. Has Authority.
Seal contends that under the general
provisions Of section Of article Z
OF the traffic act the trAfic director
is given broad authority to regulate
traffic conditions by use OF various
devices, including signs, signals, sema-
phores and the like.
Seal has disregarded the position
stated by Rice Hooe, his assistant in
charge OF prosecutions In Police Court,
who Friday was in substantia' agree
ment with the defense offered by
Doherty.
Il say" said Hooe, that a sign
is not official unless backed by spe-
ciflc law" d.
Decision Held Important.
Judge McMahon, in giving the de-
fendant and the corporation counsel
until April 6 to file briefs, said the
decision may affect thousands of signs
and parking on many streets and.
therefore, was too important a mat
ter on which to pass quick judgment,

Should the case go against the

OF emergencies, and that in other cases
traffic regulations be amended and
advertised before efforts are made to
enforce parking restrictions.

CHURCHES STUDY
I. EMPL0YABLES AID
Personal Survey Expected
to Open Jobs to Many
Denied Relief.

Seeking to learn the exact status OF
the large number of families not
eligible for public relief, joint COM
mittee OF the boards of the Family
Service Association and the Fedora
ton of Churches has begun study OF
the question by visiting all families
which applied for relief during the last
three months, but for whom no relief
was available
Many families are denied relief by
public agencies because some member
is classed as an "employable," it was
pointed out by Miss Louise G. Bean
OF the Family Service Association, who
is directing the study. The appropria-
ton to the public relief agency is not
sufficient to help employables, it was
said.
/ Approximately 80 volunteer workers
from the churches will participate In
the study. They will visit the homes,
obtain information regarding the
families difficulties and report back
to headquarters, set up at the John
Cowan Let's Educational Building,
1900 Sixteenth street. The informa-
ton will be analyzed and studied and
it is hoped the work will be completed
as quickly as possible 10 the problem
can be placed before the Commission
ers and Congress.
The survey is expected to result in
assistance to these families from the
churches whose members engage as
volunteers in the work.
The Joint committee consists OF
Coleman Jennings, chairman; DR..
Worth M. Tippy, Leroy A. Halbert,
DR.. j. Hillman Holister, Canon Anson

Mary was glad for the silence
she had figures to battle with,
