This is the 11th of series of
articles dealing Uith the audi
torinnn stadium problem now
pending in Congress. Further
discussion ,Dill tollo,D, and the
opinions OF readers are inpited.
Excellent possibilities for adequate
systems of traffic arteries exist at
both proposed sites for the local
auditorium, in the Municipal Center
and at the east end of East Capitol
street, with the existing system fa-
voring the downtown site, according
to William A. Van Duzer, District
director of vehicles and traffic.
Streets serving the East Capitol
street site from downtown Wash
ington, Mr.. Van Duzer said. can be
widened to increase their capacity
from the present total of 1900 We
hicles per hour to $500 vehicles per
hour.
The total capacity of all streets
now serving the site is 4,5O0 vehicles
per houT, he said.
Proposed construction of the Ana
costa valley motor parkway, ex-
tending to Baltimore. will make the
East Capitol street site directly ac-
cessible to traffic from the North
eastern States without bringing such
traffic into the city streets.
Existing streets serving the Mu-
nicipal Center auditorium site can
handle total of 10000 vehicles per
hour without additional expense for
widening, according to estimates
prepared by Mr.. Van Duzer.
Cites Traction Service.
The existing system of public
traction facilities also greatly favors
the Municipal Center site, Mr.. Van
Duzer contends. His studies show
that during the base hour" selected
for the count upon which his figures
are based, there are "a street cars
IN each direction on PENNSYLVANIA
avenue and 20 street cars on Indiana
avenue at Fourth street NV. There
are eight busses from the Anacostia
line passing the site and busses
on Fourth street and is on John
Marshall place, making a total of
81 busses and A street cars during
the base hour within two blocks of
the proposed Municipal Center site.
The nearest street car line serving
the East Capitol street area, at
Fifteenth and East Capitol streets,
carries 80 cars during the base hour
and the nearest bus line, on Seven
teenth street, carries four buses
during the base hour. Both could
be Increased, he pointed out.
Taxlcab service studies show, Mr..
Van Duzer said, that there are
243 900 people within the 20-cent
zone around the Municipal Center
site and $4,000 within the 20-cent
zone around the East Capitol street
site. The maximum taxicab rate to
outlying zones from the Municipal
Center site is SO cents, he reported.
The maximum from the East Capi-
tol street site is 10 cents, to Zone 3
on the north, his figures show.
Compares Use of Facilities.
Mr.. Van Duzer has estimated that

The Senators, who asked anonym-
ity, said they had received their
information from administration
authorities.
Backers Of other candidates for
the seat vacated by Justice Brandeis
refused to concede, however, that
there were any tangible indications
either Dean Rutledge or Senator
SchWellenbach would be named.
Senator Minton, Democrat, of In

told reporters that if he were seek
ing the court place II would rather

preme Court vacancy. called Dean
Rutledge a high class liberal who
would make a very good judge
he expressed the opinion there
would be no possible objection to

regarded several other men as equal
ly desirable appointees and that he
mad no wish to advocate the can
didacy of any individual.
Douglas Born in Minnesota.
Western Senators have been

man from their region. Reports

InOCeQ W really SlSlllllCdl1C p1OpOI
tions. There is almost no end to
the list of manufactured goods
which we produce which could find
a ready market down here.
Scarcity Program a Bar.
But when the discussion turns to
manufactured commodities. it is
utterly puerile to hope for any
worth while expansion of trade to
South America so long as we cling
to the theory of high-priced
scarcity as a means to domestic
prosperity Fewer goods, at higher
prices, which is the objective of any
planned economy" and which has
constituted the economic philosophy
of the New Deal, shuts the door
and locks it against expanded ex-
ports of manufactured goods to
South America. Only with volume
production at low unit cost can any
hope whatever be indulged that we
can capture markets below the
Equator.
There is yet another widely held
illusion respecting South American
trade. Many people appear to think
of South America as a single unit
and seek simple solution of our
trade difficulties. There is no one
answer to the problem. Trade with
Colombia has little in common with
trade with Argentina. Each country
is a problem in itself, to be solved
with widely varied treatment.
For instance, we are already Co.
lombias best customer. More than
60 per cent of her exports come to
us. But we have let the percentage
in five years drop from more than
80 per cent.
