Traffic Lights Sought
THROUGH Petition

Over 23o citizens have signed
petition directed to the Dlstrlct
commissioners requesting trafnc
lights at Sixteenth street and Ken
nedy NV. and at the six-way inter-
section of Colorado avenue, Four
teenth and Kennedy streets NV,
Jesse Pawling of the Sixteenth
street Highlands Citizens Associa-
ton has announced.
Mr.. Pawling, chairman OF the
Committee on Streets, said that the
width Of the crossings and fast
trafdc made the intersections dan
xerous to pedestrians and drivers
alike, adding that police had been
requested to station a man at the
Colorado avenue point.
President w. T. Stoutamyer said
that Mr.. Pawling has been appoint
ed to follow the petition through
to the District Subcommittee OF
the House Appropriations Com
mittee.
Lack of necessary traffic lights
and safety devices is due to the
large part OF the income derived
from the gasoline tax which re-
verts to the general fund.-" he stated.

improvements"

Dairy Rating Publicity
Has Support Of Civic Groups.

Ever since the publication of
dairy ratings in Health Depart
ment bulletin was begun many
years ago by either Health Off,
GERS Woodward or Fowler, the
practice has had the support of
the many civic groups. Civic COM
mittees have been studying these
reports for years and consider
them Of public value. They say
that it is only natural and proper
that the dairies showing the
highest scores should advertise
that fact extensively.
Organized civic Washington has
unitedly supported the Health
Department in maintaining the
high standard of purity and
cleanliness, which has given the
milk sold in the District Nation
wide reputation of being the fin
est in the country. The enviable
position of the District as to the
milk supply has been recognized
as being responsible for reducing
diseases Of various kinds, which
are commonly traceable to un-
clean milk.
Chairman Jennings Randolph
of the House District Committee,
on learning of an effort on the
part of certain milk interests to
have the publicity Of the dairy
ratings discontinued, registered q
vigorous protest with DR.. Ruh-
land. It is understood that the
chairman will receive the hearty
support Of the civic groups for his
action.

Parking Meter Hearing
Before the Commissioner.

On Friday, next, the District
Commissioners Will hold . public
hearing at 10 o'clock on the ques-
ton Of what to do about the
parking meters. Do the citizens
want them to be discontinued at
the end Of the authorized trial
period? Do they want the num-
ber of meters increased? What
criticisms or suggestions have the
citizens to make regarding the
use of these devices for regulat-
ing parking on the streets on q
pay-as-you-go basis?
In Congress there have ap-
peared both champions and op-
ponents Of the parking meters
and 1t has been asserted that
numerous protests have gone to
the rulers on Capitol Hill against
this modern and inof1ensive CAD
get for . rational control Of
parking. To Offset such objec-
tions there has been enthusiastic
approval Of the meters by many
Of the civic groups. In most
cases the demand has been for
an increase in the number Of
meters and their installation In
all sections Of the District. The
parking meter, in organization
circles, appears to be growing IN
popularity by leaps and bounds.

Relief for Traffic
CONGESTION Urqed

Attempting to cut down the con-
gestion Of traf1c at the intersection
Of Georgia avenue, Alaska avenue,
Eastern avenue, Kalmia street and
Blair road the Sixteenth Street
Heights Citizens Association is
seeking safety islands, trafic lights
and pedestrian lanes at the inter-
section.
James r. Kirkland, president Of
the association, said last night that
the end Of the Georgia avenue car
line being at the intersection also
offers another means Of congestion.
I'm the evening from o'clock to
7, when the trafi1c is very heavy
all over town. 1t is practically i'm
possible to cross this intersection.
At this time there is also as many
as five street cars waiting to start
the trip back downtown and thereby
blocking the streets. We are try
ing to make the Capitol Transit Co.
put . circle there to reduce the
number Of street cars waiting" he
said.
IN the evening the Shepherd
School lets out . couple hundred
pupils who have to cross the dan
gerous intersection" Mr.. Kirkland
said.
The ending of Eastern avenue
here also increases the congestion
because it dumps traffic from Ia
koma Park and Northern Maryland
into the intersection.
1t. John E. Scott, recently as
signed to the No. police precinct,
has been asked to make a study
Of the situation and offer some
means Of relieving the congestion.
"The intersection will always be
congested, Mr.. Kirkland said, but I
think tyafic lights and islands will
solve the situation as well as pos
dble."

Teachers Needed
To Meet Growth
In Enrolment
Action Planned by
Forest Hills Group
Tomorrow Night

Increased enrolment in schools,
with no provisions made by Con-
gress to increase the number OF
teachers In the District schools, has
caused overcrowded classrookns, Mrs.
Leslie B. Wright, president of the
Forest Hills Citizens Association,
stated In announcing that this
matter will be discussed and acted
upon by the group at the meeting
tomorrow night in the Ben W..
Murch School.
The Woodrow Wilson High School
In this neighborhood had over 100
new students to enroll recently, Mrs.
Wright said, and this has resulted
In so or more students to q class
room. The District had only two
teachers added to the entire city
school stan by Congress, she stated.
This is almost double the number
OF students that should be in one
class In order that the teacher may
give proper attention to each stu
dent" she said. I'VE believe that
the matter has not been properly
presented to Congress and the asso-
citation will discuss the situation and
act upon 1t tomorrow night" she
announced.
The association will discuss some
Of the items In the appropriation
for the District, among which will
be the allotment for parks. Mrs.
Wright said that the figure for the
Parks Commission, which was greatly
reduced, should be raised to the
amount allotted last year.
Several matters in regard to zon-
ing will be up for consideration at
the meeting. The proposal to re-
duce the present limitation that
bowling alleys must be at least 200
feet from residences will be acted
upon, Mrs. Wright stated. I'VE are
not opposed to bowling alleys, for
we think bowling is a good sport,
but the problems created by bowling
alleys, such as parking, heavy traffic
In the area and noise, make them
a continuous nuisance when located
in residential areas" she said.
Mrs. Wright said that the garbage
disposal service in this area has
been very inef1lcient. The associa-
ton will take steps to have this
situation rectif1ed, she announced.

Civic Problems, Civic Bodies
Dissenson Over Liquor Licenses; Parking
Meter Question Before Commissioners

section despite the opposition Of
the Board Of Education. school
officers and the Petworth Citi-
zens' Association has not en-
hanced the prestige of the A.
B. c. Board or the law and reg
ulations under which the board
operates. The organized citizens,
the churches and cultural groups
Of that section are opposing an
other application in the neigh
borhood, which is conspicuous as
an educational and church center.
The experience Of the Petworth
organization Is said to be similar
to that Of the civic groups In
other residential neighborhoods
and the sentiment is growing for
a demand for legislative relief by
Congress. Members of these or
ganizations complain that the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
shows q decided tendency to ex-
ert Its control, II any, in the in
terest of the liquor trade rather
than for the protection Of the
community.
The wide dissatisfaction with
these conditions has resulted in
several groups making a study Of
the present law and the protec-
tive features in the liquor law
which was in force prior to the
passage Of the Sheppard D. c.
prohibition law. A number Of
groups are interested In reducing
the discretion of the board and
taking away from the Commis-
sioners powers which they have
declined to exercise for the pro-
lection Of residential and school
neiehborhoods. There is strong
desire for . workable local option
law which will permit the protec-
ton Of neighborhoods from the
sale Of liquors for definite long
periods. One of the very annoy
ing features of the existing order,
it is claimed, is that these civic
groups ere required to continue
an endless fight in an endeavor
to keep these unwanted estab-
Hshments out OF their neighbor-
hoods.
So far as known there has been
no capitalization Of sentiment
nor concerted action planned by
the different interested groups.
There are indications Of . lack
Of leadership which must be sup
piled before the expressed de.
sires will take the form Of . defl-
mite united movement for reme-
dial legislation.
On the other side Of the ques-
ton there has been introduced
by Representative Dirksen, Re-
publican, Of Illinois . bill to per-
NIT the sale Of hard liquors by
the drink over bona f1de lunch
counters. Such permits would
apply only to establishments
which now have permits to sell
beer and light wines by the drink
over the counter. The same bill
was introduced in the Seventy
fifth Congress but failed to pass.
There were 10 bills to amend the
liquor law introduced in the House
In the last Congress and four In
the Senate. Two House bills
were passed and approved by the
President.
Evening star., 1939-02-05

Of the Council Of Social Agencies.
The meeting, which was short
and snappy, had q large portion
broadcast over q Nationwide
hook-up. Mrs. Franklin D. Roose-
welt was the presiding officer and
was assisted by the chairman Of
the Campaign Committee, Wilbur
La Roe, jr.
This is the first of a series Of
such forums held for the purpose
of giving the public, and espe-
cially the social-minded groups,
f1rst-hand information on the
existing conditions and the reme-
dies which are sought to be ap-
piled. These all require legisla-
ton and the demand for such
legislation needs the support Of
an enlightened and aroused pub
lie sentiment. There Is no inten-
ton or desire to indulge in the
sensational In the effort to enlist
public support.
There Is q humanitarian side to
these problems, but there is also
involved both efficiency and
financial outlay. The solution
Of these problems, 1t is being
emphasized, is of vital impor-
tance to the taxpayer that he
may be assured that he is getting
value for his tax money.
Criminal justice in the District
has been improved very definitely
by the work of the Washington
Criminal Justice Association. The
present movement to bring about
these reforms in the penal system
dovetail completely into the work
Of that organization.
One OF the most difficult of the
problems which last season con-
fronted this Campaign Commit
tee has been solved through the
allotment Of the p. w. A. funds
for the new jail. This solution
came about through q visit to the
jail by Mrs. Roosevelt In COM
pany with DR.. James A. Nolan,
director Of the Washington Grim
inal Justice Association. The
conditions at the jail 50 impressed
her that her aid was enlisted i'm
mediately with salutory result.
The principal items of the pro-
gram, which the present cam
paign is planning to accomplish,
were mentioned in this column
last week. Every item is needed.
Some require capital outlay and
some legislative revision of prac-
tees and some require increased
personnel. All will give the tax
payer better value for his money,
the community better protection
from crime and criminals better
opportunity to become useful
citizens.
The next forum meeting will
be held within the next two or
three weeks at which time an op-
portunity will be afforded for
questions from the floor. Every
effort win be made by the COM
mittee to give the public and
Congress the fullest information
obtainable as to the problems in
volved and the solutions which
are proposed.
