BY PRIVATE EUGENE LEGGE

Being Fire Prevention week, the
fire marshal and his staff, along
with Electrical Inspector Martin J.
ORourke, are marking the rounds
of the city, visiting and inspecting
the public school system, and the
mode and procedure Of exit In case
Of FIRE.
This morning, the Crosby high
school was emptied Of Its student
body quickly, following which ad.
dresses were made In the assembly
hall by Private jeremiah Grimm
and the marshal. The same pro-
cedure was followed In the Leaven-
worth high, where 1900 students
responded quickly to the alarm sys-
TEN, and where the marshal adj
dressed the body, speaking from an
open window to the entire body
gathered on the outside, between
the building fronting on Scovill st.
and the one leading from SO. Elm

I'VE are here" said the Marshal,
because the law says we shall be
here; 1t Is Fire Prevention week,
and II Is the duty Of our ONCE to
make this visit and to follow with
an address before the members OF
the school. You know how you can
aid In an effort to keep down the
fire loss; you know what fire has
done here In our own city, and the
history Of the city will prove to you
what fire can do. as II has done,
millions Of dollars worth Of damage
TO various communities.
my young friends, world history
Is being made every minute: look
at the conditions abroad, and COM
pare them with the opportunities
afforded you by country. state and
municipality; many Of the young
abroad being kicked about with
bayonets and bludgeons over their
head, hanging onto the apron
strings Of their mother. being forced
out Of their homes. and into land
they know nothing about. strangers
In a strange land, not knowing what
1t Is all about, or the reason for 1t
all. After all, we are fortunate
lot, living In a land Of freedom,
where decency prevails, and where
you and others of your age are be-
ing taught everything that is good,
and for your own betterment. You
ought to think of these things In
your daily life; you ought to give
consideration to the good teachers
Of the institution you attend, and
you ought to realize the sacrifices
being made by your parents in hav-
ing you attend an institution like
the Leavenworth high school. The
attention you have given me proves
you have 1t In you; that you are an
attentive study body. and desire to
do right. 1t Is something to be able
TO speak to such a large gathering
outside, in the open, and to gain
the respect and confidence Of young
people like you. ! congratulate you
I thank you. You make me feel as
though such talks were worth while.
Our own wish is for your good:
there are so many problems ahead
Of you that even the most learned
cannot picture them.

Pedestrian Control Favored
For D. C.. by Hazen, McCoach
Ability to Enforce Rule Questioned With
Limited Police Force, but Regulation
Is Believed to Be Coming.

Adoption Of some form Of regulation
providing for pedestrian control in the
District was approved "in principle"
last night by both Commissioner Mel
vim G. Hazen. president Of the Board
Of Commissioners, and 1t. Col. David
McCoach. jr., the new engineer COM
missioner.
Both of them, however, questioned
the ability of the District to enforce
such . rule with the present limited
number of police and Col. McCoach
added that he wondered If pedestrian
control could succeed unless a sub
stantial number Of the residents were
in favor of the plan. New to the
District. he left this question
unanswered.
I'VE will have to adopt pedestrian
control rule If the pedestrians insist
on allowing themselves to be killed."
said Commissioner Hazen. His state
ment was relayed to The Star by his
wife. The commissioner had gone back
to bed with a cold, with his fever
temperature hitting lo3, his wife
reported.
Commissioner Hazen previously had
indicated ne believed the only solution
of the mounting death toll lay in
strict enforcement of some form of
pedestrian control. He had condemned
the failure Of pedestrians to cooperate
for their own protection with pro.
grams for highway safety.
Evening star., 1938-10-23

In contributing his ideas on the sub
ject, Col. McCoach said: Certainly,
I believe in the principle OF pedes-
trfan control. The pedestrian should
be protected against himself and
against the careless motorist, since
the records indicate he will not do so,
to a suf1icient degree, voluntarily.
However, I am willing to concede
that no regulation or law can be
enforced successfully, unless the
majority Of the public is in favor of
the legislation" Col. McCoach added
Perhaps, it might be well to adopt
restricted pedestrian control sys-
tenn at first, for control only at down.
town congested intersections. There
is = question, Of course, as to how
any such regulation may be enforced.
would say that If the majority Of
the residents do not approve the
plan, it could not succeed. Otherwise.
we would have to place policemen ut
each intersection, and we do not have
suficient policemen to do that.
Il am not willing at this time to
commit myself finally. but 1t appears
to be in the interest Of the pedestrian
to require that he shall obey trafhc
signals, at least in the consested
areas"
Commissioner HAzen said:
We've been trying to educate the
public for years on the importance

100000 Issue
OF Fake Money
Jails EngrdUer
{ y the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-An engraver
who, Federal agents said. executed al
most perfect banknote plates but still
left the trade mark of his consummate
artistry on every one. was arrested
today as the designer Of 81 ,000, 900 in
counterfeit money.
Secret Service Agent James j. Ma
loney described the man as Peter Ter
horst, 81. who served term for coun-
terfeiting several years ago. He was
released from the Federal prison in
Lewisburg, Pa, in 1885 on condition
that he leave this country.
In 1885 fake money began appearing
along the Atlantic seaboard and agents
said they could detect Terhorst's hand
as easily as if he had signed his name
to each note. He was trailed through
the Netherlands. Germany. England,
Canada and back to this country, Mr..
Maloney said.
Arrested with Terhorst in q printing
sh0p was Herman Pine, 35 He was
held as an accomplice. No counter
feiting equipment was found
Banks and other victims Of the coun-
terfeiters have turned in more than
100000 OF the fake money.

tive proposals are the following: .

of different ailments for which physi-
clans, nurses and others are required
to file reports with the Health Depart
ment.
To empower the superintendent of
insurance OF the District to set or
adjust fire insurance rates.
To create an official Recreation
Board for the District to provide for
legal coordination Of all the various
recreation facilities, now under scat
tered control.
To provide for modern reorganiza-
ton of the District government.
Suffrage Proposal Included.
To provide suffrage, in one form or
another, for the disfranchised residents
Of the District.
To create a municipal civil service
system for the District, including vir-
tually all classes of its employees, with
a tie-up with the United States Civil
Service Commission as to examina-
ton procedure.
To revise the indeterminate SEN
tence and parole system for the Dis
trict and establish separate budget
for the Parole Board now financed out
OF appropriations for the penal insti-
tions.
To authorize the Public Utilities
Commission to reduce the number OF
taMcab operators licensed in the Dis
trict over a period Of years.
To authorize an increase in the
number of candidates named by the
Commissioners for appointment as
cadets to the West Point Military
Academy and as midshipmen to the
