Mr. Berry said at social security

wages by legislation "and every effort
has been marked by the displacement
of man with a machine"
N. r. A. wage increases forced small
shoe factories in many rural sections
to close, he said, throwing workers
out of their jobs. But did these jobs
go to other American workers." Mr.

HAzEN INDICATES
NEWPARK|NG BAN
Calls Conference of Traffic
Officials on Restrictions
so Feet From Corners.

A new traffic regulation prohibiting
parking within so feet of an inter-
section may be proposed by Commits
sioner Melvin c. Hazen as substi-
tute for the widely condemned 20
foot-from- building line law.
This was indicated by Mr.. Hazen
yesterday as he announced plans for
a conference next Monday at 2 pm.
for a discussion of the regulation with
Police supt. Ernest w. Brown, Traffic
Director William A. Van Duzer, Cor
poration Counsel Elwood Seal and
Capt. H. c. Whitehurst, director of
highways.
Would Apply All Over City.
The Commissioner declared he feels
the building-line parking ban is con-
fusing to motorists and that he favors
a general rule which would outlaw
parking within so feet of an inter-
section. He said he would make this
applicable to all intersections through
out the city.
Mr.. Hazen temporarily halted en-
forcement of the new regulation pend
ing the outcome of the conference
taking this action shortly after Police
Court Judge Walter J. Casey. who
upheld the regulation in a decision
last Saturday, dismissed another case
involving a violation of the law.
Short Block Barred Parking.
The case dismissed involved a vio-
lation on the part of Lawrence Apple
baum. 20, of 4804 Third street NV
The magistrate held that Mr.. Apple
baum had made an honest attempt
to comply with the regulation The
block in which Mr.. Applebaum' car
was parked illegally, it was testified
was only 104 feet long, and the 20
foot from building line ruling barred
all parking in the short block.
Later Judge Casey levied a SEN
tence of a 50 fine or two days in Jail
against Francis Divilio, %, the de-
fendant in the test case in which
Judge Casey made his ruling Satur-
day.
The American Automobile Associa
ton, which defended Divilio. then
noted an appeal and announced its
intention of applying to the Court OF
Appeals for a writ of error.

join his parents The boy gave no
sign that he heard.
