EWJUDCESASKED
FOR POLICE COURT
Schultz Requests Two Be
Appointed to Handle Only
Traffic Cases.

Two additional judges for Police
Court who would devote their time
solely to hearing traffic violation
cases, and an increase of $4,000 in
the Police Department appropriation
for purchase of new motor cycles for
traffic officers we're urged yesterday
by Chairman Schultz of the TRAFFIC
Subcommittee Of the House District
Committee.
These recommendations came in
the midst OF a serious study the sub
committee is making of Washington's
traffic conditions, with view to max
ing the streets safer for both pedes-
trians and motorists.
Mr.. Schultz said personal observa-
tions at the Traffic Court in the last
few days convinced him Of the need
of at least two traffic judges.
Judges Now Rotate.
Police Court judges now rotate in
serving in the Traffic Court. Mr..
Schultz believes they should be re-
lieved of this job and the assignment
given to special judges who would
handle traffic cases exclusively.
Information has been given Mr..
Schultz that a $4,000 increase in the
Police Departments appropriation in
. the coming fiscal year would enable
the officials to assign Is more officers
to traffic duty on motor cycles.
The $4,000, it was said, would pro-
vide sufficient funds to purchase Is
new motor cycles. and pay the addi-
tional compensation Of $40 q month
allowed to mounted officers. The men
assigned to the new equipment would
be drawn from the foot patrol force
in the various precincts.
Present Squads Strength.
A report submitted to Mr.. Schultz
by Inspector William E. Holmes, in
command of the traffic force, shows
only 81 officers constitute the mounted
traf1c squad. Thirty-seven of these
are attached to the traf1ic division and
the remainder are in the precincts.
'AASN AAAO CIlACC Sllll I.
Schultz pointed out, the motor cycle
force is far too small to patrol the
entire District effectively. He believes
If rs foot patrolmen were assigned
to motor cycles, better enforcement of
the traffic regulations would result.
Despite the inadequacy of the traf-
nc patrol force, Mr.. Schultz said 1884
arrests were made in January for
various traffic offenses. He predicted
substantial increase this month as
result of the departments promise
to him to clamp down" on all types
of violation.
Schultz Studies Report.
Mr.. Schultz is studying 4 report
showing the activities of the motor
cycle oncers last month, noting the
number Of arrests made by each. The
"blue ribbon" he said, went to Pvt
H. L. Thompson who made l18 ar
rests. Pvt. A. D. Clarke was second
with 81 arrests.
Mr.. Schultz plans to request the
Senate Subcommittee on Appropri-
ations considering the 1899 District
supply bill to add items to the measure
for the Traf1c Court judges and the
new motor cycle equipment.

An attempt to link two suspected
jewelry thieves with series Of house.
breakings at homes and apartments
of well-to-do Washingtonians during
the summer vacation season was being

158,91.7 ATTRACTED BY
BOYS CLUBS IN 1887
Police Supt. Brown Cites Work of
Organization During Past
Year

Attendance at activities Of the five
Metropolitan Police Boys Clubs totaled
158.917 last year, Police Supt. Ernest
w. Brown, founder Of the clubs. stated
IN his annual report to the Board of
Directors yesterday.
Citing a wide range of diversified
activities, the report called attention
to the success Of the entire 1887 pro-
gram. including the Pee Wee Baseball
League and the summer session at
Camp Ernest w. Brown at Scotland,
Nd. where 2S2 boys gained 502 pounds
In weight. Table games, including
ping pong, drew 15s, ,461 players during
the year.
The report paid high tribute to
many Washingtonians who devoted
time and attention to the clubs work,
Evening star., 1938-02-13

though these residents earned their
salaries in Washington.
Others think the language of re-
ciprocity as included in both the Mary
land Act. and the District bill would
prevent the $40 District credit from
wiping out the Maryland levy Of $50,
while some believe it would wipe out
the $50 due Maryland. even if John
filed both returns at the same time.
What to Do?
There's another school Of tax ex-
perts. however, who view the prob
lem from a different angle. These
authorities believe John might use the
$40 credit from taxes paid in the Dis
trlct to wipe out the $40 owed Mary
land. But John wouldn't save any
thing under this procedure. Maryland
would be the loser, and the District
would gain $40.
Moreover, there's further complexity
in the problem Of the man whose in
come is derived both from Maryland
and the District. The formula of
working out the proportionate amount
OF credit due each jurisdiction is so
complicated, even the experts admit
they would have difficulty in prepar-
ing return.
Virginia residents who work in
Washington would have about the
same problems as John Doe in Mary
land, but they wouldn't be quite so
difhcult. One reason is q Virginian
doesn't have to file his return for that
States tax until June 80, and that
would give him little more time than
John would have in filling out three
sets Of tax returns at the same time.
In any event, what's an ordinary
man to do?
