News about his partners heart
shoppers was all East needed to
know to see that a heart game
should be in the cards for his side,
so he leaped to 4-Hearts without
further ado. Now South thought he
saw winning defense. A lead of his
diamond K, then another to the A
indicated by his partners bidding,
followed by a diamond ruff, would
leave him where he needed only a
spade trick to set the contract. So
he doubled.

Special Pedestrian
Light Essential 10
Safety, Says Schultz
Traffic Subcommittee
Head Claims Approved
Plan Half Baked

Plan Half Baked
Keen disappointment was voiced
today by Representative Schultz
Democrat, of Indiana over the form
Of the pedestrian control regulation
approved by the District Commits
sioners.
THE plan Of pedestrian control
to be put into effect by the Com
missioners is half baked" he de-
clared. "It's just stop gap"
Representative Schultz, who is
chairman of the Streets and Traffic
Subcommittee OF the House District
Committee, had proposed a plan
that would require all traffic to
stop at intersections on q special
light, and that pedestrians be given
complete freedom of the intersec-
ton for a period of at least "a Sec
onds.
Wanted "Real Safety"
II wanted to go all the way and
give pedestrians real safety at the
crossWalks," he said. But the plan
adopted by the Commissioners does
not provide for safety of the pedes-
trian.
Under the present system Of al
lowing vehicles to make right turns
on a green light there are times,
especially during rush hours, when
1t is virtually impossible for pedes-
trian to cross street even though
the green light tells him to go. To
get across he must dodge through
lane of moving vehicles.
True, the Commissioners say the
driver must yield the right of way
to the pedestrian. The present
regulation prescribes the same rule
But is it obeyed? The same thing
will happen under the pedestrian
control regulation promulgated by
the Commissioners. Moving traffic
will always take advantage Of the
helpless pedestrian.
Urges Special Light.
There's only one control method
that will protect the pedestrian
Give the pedestrian a special light
on which to cross and stop traffic
in all directions while he crosses q
street. I believe the pedestrian
would cooperate in making pedes
trian control successful If such a
plan is adopted.
1T would be very simple for
traffic authorities to arrange a spe-
cial light that would stop all traffic
and give pedestrians an unobstruct-
ed right of way at intersections
that could be done by double rec
signal, arranged by substituting
red light for the one that is now
amber"
Representative Schultz recently
renewed a traffic safety campaign
adopting as his slogan: Keep one
step ahead of death; walk right
drive right"
Last year, as result OF his first
traffic safety drive, traffic deaths
were 20 less than in 1887.
Continuing his campaign, Mr.
Schultz last night, by invitation. ad-
dressed the Police Traffic School. He
urged strict enforcement Of laws.
