Smoother Plaza Traffic.
Reported by Holmes

Inspector William E. Holmes, police
traffic supervisor, today paid another
visit to the new traffic light control
set-up at Union Station Plaza and
said he found traffic running much
more smoothly now"
"The motorists don't seem to be
boycotting it today, anyway" he
said. Traffic was pretty heavy
when I was there, but the cars
seemed to be moving along in fine
fashion"
District motorists yesterday showed
their displeasure with the compli-
Gated new light arrangement in the
plaza by staying away in droves.
Inspector Holmes, one of several
officials on hand to watch the lights
IN operation during the rush hour
yesterday, said he had never seen
such a small number of cars using
the Plaza.
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer, who also has been making
periodic inspection trips to the
Plaza since the new light arrange
ments was placed in operation, to-
day stuck to his contention that it
will take motorists several days to
catch on" to the new system.
That's always been a bad setup
there" he commented. "If we sue
coed in reducing accidents, we'll be
satisfied"

TACOMA, Wash, Feb. 24.-Their

early today.
Firemen pulled Nosler's body from
his flaming home south of Tacoma

Ord, dragged me or I crawled back
to the porch and begged him to get

MOI I begged him to take me
then to the hospital as I was suffer-
ing terrible pains. He drove me to
Steilacoom Lake where he told me
he was going to throw me in the

II pleaded with him to take me to
the hospital. He said he would do
that If I would keep my mouth shut
and would not say anything to any
one about what had transpired. Ord
brought me to the hospital"

Reich Clamps Ban
ION All News Of
Visit by WeI|es
Details Of Program for
U. S. Undersecretory
Not to Be Released
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Feb. pa tight official
clamp was placed today on all news
of the visit of United States Under
secretary of State Sumner Welles to
Germany.
Authorized German sources said
Mr.. Welles' visit will take place
entirely outside of the press" De-
tails of the program have been ar
ranged, they said, but will not be
released.
Due in Naples Tomorrow.
These sources added that they
were not able to divulge the time
of Mr.. Welles' coming, departure or
schedule of interviews. He is to
reach Naples, Italy, tomorrow. and
yesterday it was indicated he would
reach Berlin Tuesday or Wednesday
and see Reichsfuehrer Hitler soon
after his arrival
Asked whether the ban on news
regarding the visit referred only to
the German press, the authorized
sources said it also applied to the
foreign press as far as any informa-
ton from German sources was con-
cerned.
Today's attitude was in marked
contrast to that of yesterday. when
1t seemed certain official German
spokesmen would give out all in
formation available on the visit.
q. s. Embassy Denies Responsibility
A spokesman of the United States
Embassy expressed belief that the
German Embassy in Washington
may have indicated to the Berlin
government that publicity concern
ing the visit would be undesirable.
The spokesman said the Embassy
here had nothing to do with the
shutdown on news. but pointed out
that Mr.. Welles, before departure,
said he would have nothing to say
until he had reported to President
Roosevelt
Authorized German sources gave
no reason for the new attitude on
publicity, but the change from yes
terday's readiness to discuss the visit
was so sudden that foreign corre-
spondents gained the impression
that something had occurred since
yesterday to cause the change.

BY the Associated Press
Senate opponents conceded todav
that the triumph of Secretary of
State Hull's trade agreement pro-
gram in the House last night fore
shadowed continuation of the policy
in some form.
Ihey served notice, however, that
they would make a vigorous effort
to attach restrictive amendments to
the extension bill which the House
approved, ZIG to 1853.
The House vote, which gave the
administration a victory in the first
big legislative test of the session
and strengthened Secretary Hull's
position at time when he was be-
ing mentioned as a possible Demo-
cratic presidential nominee, shifted
the battle over the trade agreements
to the Senate side of the Capitol.
Up to the Senators now Is the
question: Shall Congress grant the
executive branch of the Govern
ment, for three more years, power
to enter into reciprocal agreements
with other countries concerning
tariff reductions and other trade
concessions? The present grant Of
authority along these lines expires
June IL.
Opponents Proposals.
The Senate opponents said they
would line up behind these pro-
posals.
l. An amendment recurring that
the agreements be ratified by a two
thirds majority of the Senate be-
fore they could become effective.
z. A proposal to set up a con-
gressional ''yardstick" providing
limits on tariff reductions.
g. An amendment to eliminate
the INSTRUMENTATION" theory
OF the existing reciprocal trade pro-
gram, by which concessions granted
one country are extended to all
others which the Government de-
cides are not discriminating against
United States goods.
Senator Adams. Democrat, of
Colorado said the yardstick proposal
would prohibit the reduction of
tariffs below the point where the
production cost of foreign goods.
plus the tariff, would be less than
the cost OF production of competing
American goods. Support for this
idea came from Senator Taft, Re-
publican. of Ohio.
Senator Adams and Taft also
favored elimination of the most
favored nation" policy.
Senator McNary of Oregon, the
Republican leader, predicted that
virtually all Republicans would vote
against continuance of the trade
program. However, Senator Taft
told reporters:
Il am in favor of the reciprocal
method, because it is much prefer
able to congressional log rolling (the
practice of members of Congress
voting for each others pet projects.
But some standard should be pro-
vided to insure that the program
will be on protective rather than
a free trade basis.
Il don't favor Senate ratification,
because that simply would kill the
whole program"
Senator Taft suggested that when
an agreement was drafted it be re-
ferred to the Tariff Commission,
which would readjust all items pro-
viding reductions deeper than the
amount which would equalize the
difference in cost of American and
foreign production.
