TrafficOf Future
ToBe Foolproof,
Van Duzer Saws |

Fool-proof driving-automatic safety
in traffic-was a vision OF the future
left with the Greater New York Safety
Council by William A. Van Duzer, Dis
trict director Of vehicles and traffic.
In an address last night, reported by
the Associated Press. Mr.. Van Duzer
foresaw an automobile powered with
electric energy drawn from the air and
equipped with photo-electric cells to
prevent running through red lights.
Motor trafic. he said, could be made
as safe and efficient as railroads. with
their automatic block control
Such strides have been made in
radio and transmission Of electricity
without wires, he said. that it was only
another step to vehicles with electric
motors the energy for which would be
transmitted ethereal waves.
Il believe it is possible. by the use of
photo-electric cells. to prevent motor
vehicles from running through red
lights or stop signs" he said. 1T may
also be possible, by similar method, to
control the speed, to coordinate the
movement Of vehicles on a street where
the trafi1c lights are arranged for pro-
gressive control, and to warn drivers
when they cross or get too close to the
center line on hill crests."

Stork Engages
In Egg Rolling
To Ibises' Woe

A large, woolly-necked stork staged
hts own egg-rolling at the Zoo the
other day, much to the dismay Of q
cross-mated pair Of ibises.
Inspired, no doubt. by the children
rolling Easter eggs on the lawn out
side the Bird House. the stork caught
up three ibis eggs In his beak, one
after the other, and tossed them into
the far corner Of the cage.
The eggs, like those outside, prompt
ly broke. A scarlet ibis had been In
cubeting them. j
Since she had mated with a white
ibis, the keepers had hoped for some
interesting, vari-colored chicks.
There was gossip in the Bird House
that Puritanicaf streak in the stork
may have prevented this mismat ting OF
his neighbors. The stork, however
offered no objection when the same
pair produced q chick several years
ago.
This chick grew up to resemble his
father, with white feathers instead OF
scarlet, or pink.

MARYLAND PROJECT
Carmody Says Tri-County Body
Should Finish Electric Job
Before Asking New Fund.

The Southern Maryland Tri-County
Cooperative Association was scored
today for delay in completion Of its
rural electriflcation system and noti-
he'd that consideration of any. applica-
ton for additional funds to extend the
system would be deferred until the
original project is finished.
John M. Carmody. rural electrifica-

informed the association that Boyd
Fisher, one of his aides, would meet
officers of the cooperative and pros
pective power users in La Plata on
May 2 at pm. to discuss plans for
completing the work now under way.
L understand you are preparing q
request for an additional loan of $50,-

mody wrote the association. I'VE are
always ready to receive additional ap-
plications, but before we talk about
, additions to the project I think We
ought to review what has been ac-
complished with the original sl65 900
loan.
Frankly. the reports I have re-
ceived from time to time indicate a
need for better coordination all

TEACHERS PRAISE
NIGHT SCHOOL USE
Dr.. Bell and Fitzpatrick Are
Witnesses Before Civil
Service Hearing.

James A. Bell. president of South
eastern University, and DR.. John r
Fitzpatrick. dean of Columbus Uni
versity Law School, were the principal
witnesses today before a Senate Civil
Service Subcommittee on the Shep-
pard bill to prevent discrimination
against graduates of night schools in
law and accountancy seeking positions
in the Government.
Senator Logan OF Kentucky Is
chairman Of the subcommittee, which
includes Senators Byrd, Democrat, OF
Virginia and White, Republican, OF
Maine.
The Endorsement of organiza tions
OF Government employees and the
heads Of the American Federation Of
Labor and Committee on Industrial
Organization were presented to the
subcommittee by Dr. Fitzpatrick.
Mr.. Bell emphasized the need for
part-time schools with minimum en-
trance requirements. saying he had
spent rs OF SO years teaching in the
field Of adult education He said he
is convinced that a person denied q
college education in early life, If he
applies himself, later in life makes a
high-grade graduate. He insisted that
graduates of part-time schools. if they
are able to pass the bar examination
and the certified public accountants
examination. should be allowed to en-
JOY the same privileges as graduates
of full-time schools
President Green Of the A. F. of L.
in his letter submitted to the hear
ing, made the same statement.
Luther Steward. president of the
National Federation of Federal En-
ployes. said that, while he favors such
legislation. he does not think this bill
corrects the greatest evil where those
in administrative positions show fav-
oritism toward graduates Of their own
colleges or fraternity brothers. He
called that IAN Msidious form of
spoils. much more evil than outright
patronage because it is so difncult to
detect. Senator Logan agreed with
that statement.
President Charles I. Stengle of the
American Federation of Government,
Employees, and Jacob Baker. president
of the United Federal Workers Asso-
citation. also Endorsed the legislation
Jacob Sander. president Of the
alumni of Southeastern University

M'NUTT PALACES
CAUSE HOUSE TILT.
Democrats Retort Cheap
Politics to Charge of
ExtravauanCe,

Republican charges of extravaganza
and a Democratic retort that cheap
politics" were being played confronted
the House today in connection with
the dispute over construction of two
new official homes for the High Com
missioner to the Philippines.
Taking the floor yesterday after
noon, Representative Engel, Repub-
lican, OF Michigan declared it was IAN
outrage and a shame to spend public
money in the manner requested by
Paul v. McNutt for maintenance Of
his two official residences.
Mr.. McNutt testified during recent
hearings on his request for funds to
| finance the High Commissioners Office
during the next fiscal year that the
| combined cost of the two residences
would be about s750,000, Of which
s522, 900 was for the Manila house and
sl5l 900 for residence in the noun
tains.
Wider Than White House.
Mr. Engel said the first palace" to
be built on, the shores of Manila Bay,
would be 263 feet long and 1873 feet
wide and contain sc rooms, loges, halls
"and whatnots."
That's 49 feet longer and 80 feet
wider than the White House" he said.
Its going to have ballroom with
a dance floor IS feet long and 40 feet
wide and will be two stories high.
That'd be pretty good-sized farmers
barn, If you ask me-"
Asserting it would cost about $780,
000 MI Engel was particularly critical
Of the site for the building which he
said had been selected by Gov. Murphy
Of Michigan when he was Governor
General of the Philippines.
Mr.. Engel said the palace" would
be erected on II acres of land re-
claimed from Manila Bay at cost Of
SIS 900.
There were other sites available
which would not have cost the Gov
ernment a cent" he said, land the
present high commissioner, Paul v.
McNutt, said he would have pre-
terred one of them"
SeCOnu TdidCe Smauer.
Mr.. Engel said the second palace"
was to be built in the hills around
Manila and would be Just small
one"
1T will be only 1874 feet long, 64
feet wide and will have only 43
rooms" he said.
Representative Rabaut, Democrat.
of Michigan told the House Mr.. Engel
was attempting to criticize Gov. MUIR
ply.
Murphy is coming up for re-elec-
ton this year, 50 it's time to get out
the brickbats, or what have you," Mr..
Rabaut said.
Representative Hook, Democrat, Of
Michigan also took the floor to defend
Gov. Murphy's record
In my opinion, some cheap politics
is being played here" Mr.. Hook said.

DETROIT, April 2o.-A labor dis
pute over q United Automobile Work
ers' dues collective drive at Flint
seemed settled, at least temporarily,
today by the decision of u. A. w. In
ternational officers to discontinue
morning picket lines, but there was a
furry Of violence in Detroit where o.
A. w. strikes kept five factories closed.
The Detroit skirmish was at the
Michigan Steel Castings Co., where 16
policemen, with flying nightsticks
broke up q 25-man picket line led by
an unidentified man in football head
gear. Twenty-Five workers entered
the plant and the management an
nounced operations were resumed on
a curtailed schedule after two days OF
idleness caused by q strike against a
10 per cent pay cut.
Yields to Ultimatum.
In the Flint dispute, which has kept
$3.50 Fisher and Buick Motor Co.
employees idle for three days, Homer
Martin, international president of the
U. A. W., yielded to an ultimatum of
William S. Knudsen. General Motors
president. Mr.. Knudsen said Fisher
body plant No. would remain closed
until the union desisted from its at
tempt to collect dues by picket lines.
He described the picketing as an at
tempt to force a closed shop, in vio-
lation of the U. A. VIC. M. agreement,
Mr.. Martin said the picketing would
be discontinued in order to give Gen
eral Motors mo excuse to close plants
and throw thousands out of work"
In Flint, however, Henry Wilson, presi-
dent of the U. A. w. Fisher local. said
that membership checks" would be
made as employees leave the plant and
indicated an effort might be made to
keep non-union workers in the plant.
Manager Issues Warning.
George c. Paterson. resident Fisher
manager at Flint, instructed the 3,750
employees of Fishe.- plant No. to
return to work Thursday morning, but
gave warning the plant would be closed
for the fourth consecutive day if
pickets reappeared.
Factories closed in Detroit by strikes
included three plants OF the Bohn
Aluminium & Brass Corp, employing
IT'S men; the Detroit Molding Corp,
with 500 workers. and the American
Brass Corp, which notified its $50
employees yesterday afternoon that it
was closing indefinitely because power
house employees shut of power in a
dispute over 10 per cent wage cut.

The committee recommended that
the person on relief be required. when
he receives a check for his wags, to

his earnings from outside employment
during the work period.
In an effort to bring about uni
formity in the treatment Of different

that Federal funds are to be used
for paying labor costs de- security
payments and salaries of ilon-relief

The committee recommended against
the proposal for grants in aid to the
States for relief, saying. THE COM
mittee is Of the opinion that the
adoption of this program would mean
the abandonment of work relief. It
would also amount to the general
lowering Of the relief standard to the
unsatisfactory low levels prevailing in
many States"

against the proposal that the social

Taxes
Continued From First Page.)

Federal State and local relief now
in operation.
The committee estimates that while
nearly 100000 workers In the
United States are totally unemployed,
there are several millions more. al
though actually on pay rolls, who are
working only part time.
Tracing the development Of the
Federal unemployment relief policy
from the outset Of the depression in
1880. the report shows that in De-
cember. 1888, there were 1000, 600
households, including 24800. 900 per-
sons, receiving public assistance from
Federal, State and local funds.
This total decreased each year
thereafter through December, 1887,
when 5,390,000 households, 5,605, 900
persons, were receiving public help.
IA Per Cent Of U. S. Gets Public Aid.
The effect of the recent business
recession was reflected in the figures
for January. 1898. when the number
Of households affected was 5,904 900,
or 17,314,000 persons. Unemployment
and relief increased, during February
and March, the committee said, add
ing:
1T may be conservatively esti-
mated that on April l approximately
IA per cent Of the population of the
United States were beneficiaries Of
public aid OF one kind or another"
Reviewing expenditures for relief,
public assistance and social security,
the committee gave the total cost of
the program during the calendar year
of 1897 as 1892 ,00o, 900, Of which
States and local governments spent
1,43l 100000. The committee report
continued:
For the entire period, 1933-1937
inclusive, the total cost of public
assistance and relief programs was
$l3 500, ,000, 900, of which $4,000, ,000,-
000~ came from the Federal Treasury
and $500, ,o00, 5000 from State and
local treasures. II to these figures
the cost Of emergency public works is
added. the total expenditure for the
period. ls3s-1937, is $19,300, 900 900,
Of which $4,000. .o00, 900 came from
the Federal Treasury and $500 .000,-
900 from the State and local re-
sources"
Millions Seen Helped. .
The committee added:
THE expenditure Of these sums,
vast as is their total, has saved the
lives and morale of millions of people
in America. Public works Of great
value have been accomplished"
The report points out that w. p. A.
workers on part time are able to
make enough to live on, due to the
prevailing wage provision in the Fed
eral law, and then 60 out and get
private employment.
This outside employment Is in
competition with other unemployed
workers." says the report. "It must
be obvious that this practice tends to
defeat the evident intent Of Congress,
which was the protection Of the grow
