Civic Heads Asked to

District officials today drew UP
a tentative program for pedes-
TRAN control and invited 100
representatives of various civic
and business groups to discuss the
proposal at a public hearing on
December 20 at 10 a. m. in the
District Building.
Essentially, the plans would
prohibit pedestrians crossing the
street anywhere in the city except
at intersections, regardless OF
whether traffic lights or police
men are controlling the intersec'
ton.
RIGHT OF WAY
Pedestrians, however, would be
given the right Of way when a
green signal is in evidence.
AS explained by Commissioner
Melvin C. Hazen, who presided
over the formulation of the pro-
posals, the latter provision Is
aimed at motorists who make right
turns while pedestrians are at
tempting to cross the street.
Violators of the proposed regu-
laticnS would be subject to arrest,
it was decided, and specific penal

General Motors Corporation Of
ficials and U. A. w. leaders issued
a joint statement announcing the
strike settlement early this morn

The strike was called Thursday
afternoon, throwing $500 Fisher
body workers out of work. The
consequent shortage of bodies
forced shutdown of the Buick
plant assembly line, making 5000
workers there idle.
Shortly after the strike was
called, the U. A. w. issued bulle-

FOUR OTHER MODELS

In addition to the standard
Royal line a deluxe car designated
as the Royal Windsor, with spe-
cial trim and extra equipment, is
offered on this chassis. There
also Is a special Royal on a
chassis of 1875 inches, for those
who require an exceptionally
roomy car. The standard I'm
perial line is augmented by two
luxury cars, the New Yorker and
the Saratoga.
The gear-shift lever has been
taken off the floor and moved to
the steering column on all 1889
Chryslers. In its new position,
not only is it more conveniently
located right under the drivers
hand, but the shifting operation
is much easier, being accomplished
by a mere flick of the wrist.

AUTO CLUTCHES

Clutches in some o: the new 1899
cars have been redesigned and
simplified and, in several in

is required on the pedal for disen-
gaging them.
Details of design also insure
smoother engagement. making for
comfort of passengers. There are
numerous changes in transmits
sions and large proportion Of the
cars in the higher-price brackets
provide either new or improved
over-drives.
Some of these are arranged to
cut in automatically at lower
speed than formerly, but have
provision for immediate return to
normal drive if the accelerator is
depressed fully, thus affording
rapid acceleration in passing cars
ahead.
When the accelerator is released
the gears return to over-drive posi-
ton, giving the benefit of lower
engine speed and less engine noise
for given car speed and tending
to conserve fuel.

Luggage compartments, now

Extravagant claims Of this type
are bringing some such schools under
Government investigation. Recently
the Post Office department issued
fraud orders against a number of these
schools denying themfurther use Of

to defraud. In one of these cases pro
