Draft Of Bill for
Griffenhagen Plan
Hopes to Present
Program to Subcommittee
By Tomorrow's Heorino

Chairman Kennedy of the Reor-
ganization Subcommittee of the
House District Committee TODAY ap-
piled finishing touches to the draft
OF a bill designed to put into effect
the Griffenhagen plan for modern
izing the municipal government.
He hopes to have the proposed
bill printed in time for distribution
to members of his subcommittee
when they meet tomorrow at 10
am. to resume public hearings on
the Grif1enhagen program.
AS an argument in favor of adop-
ton Of the Griffenhagen plan, Rep
resentative Kennedy called atten-
ton to the 10 District bills passed
by the House yesterday, some of
which he described as "too triflinp'
to engage the attention of the Ma
tlonal Legislature. The one he mem
toned in particular authorizes the
central heating plant to furnish
steam heat to buildings to be erect
ed In the Municipal Center area.
why should the time of Congress-
be taken up with considering sucn
minor legislation" he asked. "Such
thing would not happen if the
Grif1enhagen plan is adopted and
Congress delegates certain leeisla-
tive functions to the proposed Dis
trict governing body"

a dinner table in the Metropolitan

Cloyd Heck Marvin, president of
George Washington University and

NAL was decided 1t was purely
social affair. I simply invited my
friends to dinner"
District Health Officer George C.
Rutland and the Rev. Arthur A.
OLeary, president of Georgetown
University, concurred in this view
but both agreed that "a lot of de-
tails will have to be Strengthened
out before the thing functions
smoothly"
Faculty members of the two med
1cal schools and members of the
Gallinger staff who we're guests at
the dinner included DR.. Walter A.

First Pedestrian
Under New Law
Forfeits 81

Bernard Klateman. 27-year-old
florist, who was the first person to
be arrested under the pedestrian
control legislation, today elected to
forfeit So collateral rather than
stand trial.
Judge John j. McMahon ordered
the collateral forfeited when Mr..
Klateman failed to appear in Traffic
Court. His case was set for today
after Judge Mcmahon overruled a
motion by defense attorneys to
quash the information on unconsti-
tutional grounds 10 days ago.
Mr.. Klateman was arrested at
Fourteenth street and New York
avenue NV. on March 10, the first
day the regulation began to be en-
forced. for crossing the street
against red light.
Mr.. Klateman's forfeiture takes
away the right of appeal, since no
final judgment has been entered in
the case. Defense lawyers had init
mated they might have appealed
from Judge McMahoh's ruling on
the motion to quash.

yet pass the Upper House.
Bills on which legislative action
was completed follow:

Child Welfare budqei
Boost Is Favored by
District Board
Kepecs Report Calls for
Recognized Program
CentroIizing Work

The Board of Public Welfare yes
terday unanimously approved the
Kepecs report calling for reorgan-
ization of the Districts child well
fare program and an increase Of
nearly 60 per cent in the budget
for the work.
The report was characterized by
Welfare Director Elwood Street as
fine one. He said he had no
fault to find with any of its rec
concentrations.
Chief among its provisions was
the proposal to consolidate the pres
ent six independent child-care agen-
cies under the Board of Public Well
fare administratively. Expansions
in the program would call for q
budget of more than 100000.
The survey was made by Jacob
Kepecs, nationally known welfare
consultant from Chicago.
THE report suggests a construc-
tive, forward-looking program" de-
clared Mr.. Street, "and I houe it
can be made an actuality." He
added he had been working for
some such program for five years.
Mr.. Street also praised the work
of the Citizens Advisory Commit
tee, which reported on the survey.
The committee was headed by Mark
Lansburgh.
Mrs. Spencer Gordon, chairman
of the Child Welfare Committee of
the board, praised the report and
pointed out that If delinquents are
cared for at an early stage munich
pal expenses are saved all down the
line, such as prisons and police.
James A. Councillor, new member
Of the board, was sworn in at the
meeting.

Former Wincsor Aide Believes
King Will Enjoy u. S. Visit
Col. Thwuites Advises
They Be Treated
As Travellers

The forthcoming visit of their
Britannia Majesties King George
vi and Queen Elizabeth to Wash
ington is no propaganda stunt, ac-
cording to 1t. Col. Norman Thwaites,
c. B. E., M. v. O., NJ c., who late
yesterday ended two-day visit in
the Nations Capital.
Col. Thwaites, a former British
army officer, was an aide to the
Duke of Windsor during the latter's
visit to the United States and Can
ada as Prince of Wales in 1919 and
is familiar with the rumors which
often preface the arrival of visit
ing royalty.
Recently I've heard number of
people speak of their majesties'
coming visit as propaganda
stunt" Col. Thwaites declared.
"As a matter of fact, the King and
Queen are simply responding to
President Roosevelt's gesture of
camaraderie. Both of their majes-
ties are looking forward to their
Washington visit, and they will love
the friendliness and democratic
ways of the American people"
This propaganda talk is the same
sort of thing one heard concerning
the Duke of Windsor's visit in 1919"
Col. Thwaites continued. How
ever, the Duke proceeded with his
visit, and his trip was a definite
success"
Col. Thwaites, who knows the
members of the royal family, be-
lieves the King and Queen will
prefer to be treated as travelling
royalty rather than as state visitors
while they are in Washington.
For 10 years Col. Thwaites was
secretary to the late Joseph Pulit-
zer, proprietor of the old New York
World, and later represented the
paper In most of the capitals of
Europe. He is almost as much at
home in Washington and New York
as he Is in London. AS a result
of many years spent in this coun-
try Col. Thwaites Is intensely in
terested In Anglo-American rela-
tions. He is honorary secretary Of
the English Speaking Union, whose
Washington chapter feted him at
a luncheon yesterday.
A, firm believer In the solidarity
between British and American
ideals, Col. Thwaites said that this
solidarity viii be cemented by tho
