Presidenf Cannot Dodge
Some of Responsibility

Mr.. Roosevelt has said with en-
phasis several times that none Of
these things will work. He believes
they should not be propagated and
spread, because he recognizes how
easily miserable humanity can be
lead off at tangent. It is a type
of hysteria, an emotion. The Presi-
dent, however, must not dodge re-
sponsibility for part OF it. AS I
said above, his methods have been
conducive to hysteria OF several
kinds. These panaceas that threat
en- again to cause grief for his adj
ministration are but an outgrowth OF
the numerous plans that have been
given birth by various persons in
official position. True, they have
been fed by the dregs Of hard times,
but they had their encouragement
first from illogical phases OF the
New Deal.
Truer words were never spoken
than President Roosevelt uttered at
Pittsburgh, Pa, in his 1882 cam
paign when he said: ANY govern
ment, like any family. can for q
year spend a little more than it
earns, but you and I know that a
continuation of the habit means the
poor house." Adoption Of any OF the
pension schemes, whatever their
variation from the Townsend plan
may be, means the poor house be-
cause there can not be enough taxes
levied or collected to meet the need.

'VENEREAL TREATMENT
PROGRAM is DISCUSSED
DR.. Ruhland to Meet Officials to

Hospital superintendents, clinic
supervisors and representatives of the
United States Public Health Service
were to meet today with Health Officer
George c. Rutland to discuss plans
for program to prevent venereal dis
ease patients from missing treatments
at local hospitals, and at the same time
protect them from too much" treat

Health officials pointed out that in
many instances venereal disease suf-
ferers have reported for one or two
treatments and then have never re-
turned. Others, they said, have been
given too many treatments.
DR.. Daniel L. Seckinger, assistant
health officer, explained that Ohio has

have cards which are punched each
time they receive treatment. At the
same time the physician records the
treatment and the date.

cluded from continuing its original
program Of self-sustaining housing at
higher rentals for people OF higher in
come. The amendments to the Alley
Dwelling Act specifically provided
for both types of housing.
"These amendments provided that
in carrying forward its old program OF
self-sustaining housing the A. D. A.
should borrow money direct from the
Treasury, and authorized loans for
such purposes. The same amendments
provided that for rehousing slum
dwellers who require a subsidy to be
housed decently, the A. D. A. could
obtain assistance from the United
States Housing Authority.
These two distinctions, enacted 50
recently by the Congress, are further
indication, If any further indication
is needed, that it was the intent of
Congress that U. s. H. A. funds be
used only for rehousing slum dwellers
In the lowest income group. MY
recent trip throughout the country
has convinced me that this is the
sentiment not only in Congress but
also among the entire American
people" ,.
Mr.. Straus' statement was made for
the purpose, he claimed, Of correcting
some misconceptions in the public
mind that either Of the two author
tiles is at liberty to abandon the
financing plan laid down In the United

GIRLSLEARN SAFETY
BETTER THAN BOYS
Of 10 Traffic Fatalities in 5 to IA
Year Age Group, in 10 Months,
z Were Boys.

Washington girls seem to learn their
safety lessons better than boys, accord
ing to conclusions reached by the
Keystone Automobile Club, after an
analysis of fatal traffic accidents this
year involving children
The analysis shows that Of the 10
fatalities in traffic accidents from
January l to October /, involving
children between and IA years Of
age. seven we're boys and three were
girls.
Admitting the boys generally play
more actively, the club points out
that they take more chances, run
greater risks and consequently are
involved In larger number Of fatal
accidents.
The analysis also showed that there
have been six fatalities thus far among
children under 5 years of age, four
girls and two boys. However, it was
pointed out. the significant figures,
from the standpoint of safety educa-
ton and training, are those in the
higher age group.

PARK METER BID

COUPLE OF ESTIMATES
$40 of Coin Collectors Will Be
Installed on Streets in
Congested Area.

Washington's experiment with park
ing meters will be started before the
end Of the month, with the installation
and use of $40 meters of the fully
automatic type, according to action
taken today by the District Commits
sioners.
The city heads decided to award
contracts for provision of the meters
to the Graybar Electric Co. of New
York City, which will provide the me-
ters at price of $4445 EACH The
Commissioners took no action on the
offer of the Michaels Art Bronze Co.
OF Covington, KY, to install 100 me-
ters Of the semi-automatic type free
of charge for the experimental period,
which will end next June 80.
Ignore Rhodes Bid.
According to announcements made
for the Board of Commissioners, they
also took no action today on the dec
laration Of the M. H. Rhodes Co. OF
Hartford, Conn. to provide up to $40
meters of the semi-automatic type, also
free of charge.
The problem of specifications and
bids over the meters has troubled
the Commissioners since last July.
The first set of bids received were re-
turned unopened because of a protest
by the Rhodes Co. that the specifica-
tions were too restrictive"
A little more than month ago a
second set Of bids we're received and
opened but were rejected when the
Commissioners decided not to accept
for trial any of the semi automatic or
so-called manual type of meters,
which required that key be turned
after the motorist inserts a nickel.
District officials said at the time they
stound that the manual" type of meter
did not meet District government
specifications, except one class, the
price Of which was higher than the low
bid on fully automatic meters.
Company Reduces Price.
The Graybar Co. last month offered
to supply 100 automatic meters at
$3.50 each. In the succeeding bid
ding this company reduced its price to
$44.45 for provision of 80. The Dual
Parking Meter Co. of Oklahoma City
offered to supply 310 automatic meters
ut $5450 each, or so cents lower than
its original offer for 100 meters.
The coin collecting devices are to be
Installed in the area between Ninth
and Fourteenth streets NV, E and F.
streets and in front of the District
Building, in front of banks near Fiji
teenth street and New York avenue
and on the east side of Seventh street
north of E street. The price will be

What is happening today is grist for

with It," Mr.. Studebaker declared.
This crisis is a starting point for
an investigation into the historic strug-
giles Of people Of different races in

trstions Of opposing forms of govern
ment at work, as basis for class dis
cussion on democracy and other polit-

much class time should be devoted to
careful discussion of the meaning
Of it all.

for high scores on pin-bau machines.

John ]. Wilson late yesterday an
nounced the drive after a 50-year-old
restaurant keeper, Benjamin Golovin
of 1912 Vermont avenue NV, was
brought before United States Com
missioner Needham c. Turnage and
accused of setting up gaming table.
He waived preliminary hearing and
was bound over for the action of the
grand jury, his bond fixed at 1000.
Capt. George NJ Little of the police
vice squad assigned Policemen Samuel
r. Smith and Oliver T. Coffin to the
job of getting evidence on Golovin,
police said. Ofhcer Smith pulled the
plunger and got score of 4,90O and
was then allegedly asked by Golovin,
will you settle for Is cents?" when
he might have made score of 1900
and gotten s1.5o, police asserted.
He actually made score of $500,
and Mrs. Gussie Golovin, the pro-
prietor's wife, 40 years old-later
booked for vestigation-handed OFF,
Ger Smith his winning dime, accord
ing to the police version. Golovin
was arrested.
Assistant United States Attorney
Wilson, pointing out that play for
amusement only is legal, said:
This is the beginning of a drive
on such individuals, and it is the
determination of the police and the
district attorneys Office not to permit
the condition to recur that existed
at the time Of the test cases, when
the District Court supported our posi-
ton that pin-ball machines are gam
bling devices when there is a pay
of of any kind whatsoever"
