Joint House Senate study of the
situation, said:
What the District needs is action,
not more Investigations. 1t will be
perfectly agreeable to me to have
subcommittee from the Senate and
House District Committees sit to-
gether to consider Washington S
traffic problems and the methods to
solve them. We all know what
causes the trouble What we need
to do is to do something about it )"
Representative Dirksen said he
thought the idea of Senator Reyn-
olds for joint sessions of Senate and
House Subcommittees for consider
alton of the traffic problems "a good
one and indicated he believed such
plan would result in a more ex-
peditious solution. He said he would
confer with Senator Reynolds with
in few days.
Members of House and Senate
District Committees have not united
in consideration of local problems
since hearings on the bill which es-
tablished the present liquor control
law here.
Mr.. Dirksen is strong advocate
of municipality owned and operated
parking lots. Senator Reynolds like
wise is of the opinion that the
municipal government should pro-
vide off-street parking facilities for
automobiles, but he likes the plan
adopted in some South American
cities of having the parking spaces
underground.

Two Plans 10 Avert
Strikes in Defense
Industries Studied
One Proposal Calls
For Trouble Shooters
At Strategic Points

Two plans to avert strikes In de-
fense industries were under con-
sideration today in Government
circles.
DR.. William M. Leiserson, member
of the National Labor Relations
Board, suggested mediation ma
chinery, similar to that of the Rail-
way Labor Act.
In the labor division of the Ma
tional Defense Commission, it was
proposed to smooth out industrial
troubles by stationing trouble
shooters from the A. F. of L. and
the C.'I. o. at strategic points
throughout the country.
The Railway Labor Act requires
employers and employees to give 30
days notice of any intent to change
wages or working conditions. With
in 10 days of this notice, both sides
must agree to a time and place
for a conference Pending the con-
ference and its recommendations
neither side may change wages or
hours or other conditions. Failure
of the conferees to reach an agree
ment is followed by an appeal to
some Federal mediation agency to
make a further effort to avoid a
strike
DR.. LeiSerson pointed out that
special mediation board of three
to five members could be established
to consider grievances in defense
industries.
The Labor Board member sug-
gested this plan as an alternative
to proposed no strike" legislation,
which he did not consider feasible.
The other plan would broaden
the functions of the Defense Labor
Division under Sidney Hillman. as
sociate director of the new Office
of Production Management. The
trouble shooters" 10 each from the
two leading labor organizations,
would keep the Defense Commission
advised on labor conditions in the
various plants.

District theaters.
Mai. Brown pointed out that in
I the last 10 years, while the city'S
population has increased 36.2 per
cent, the police force has only in
creased l3 per cent. He needs 282
more policemen to bring the force
up to its 1880 ratio, Maj. Brown
said.
The recommendation that Vigi-
lante committee be set up was the
chief action of the Traffic Advisory
Committee.
We've got to do something pretty
radical to stop this appalling traffic
toll" George E. Keneipp. manager
of the keystone Automobile Club,
declared
Would Publicize Names.
In contrast to the old Committee
of 100, which functioned about five
years ago, the names of citizens ap-
pointed to this group would be pub
lished in the newspapers instead OF
being withheld, as was the case in
the first group.
Plan Is Outlined.
Members of the committee would
be appointed by the Commissioners
and would have to be active in traffic
safety work in order to be eligible.
Incidental expenses would be borne
by the Traffic Department.
A list of traffic violations, except
parking. would be furnished the
group. which would report any vio-
lations to the Traffic Department.
Following such a report the de-
partment would send letter giving
the nature of the complaint to the
motorist who committed the viola
ton.
When complaints by three mem
bers of the committee on any one
motorist had been sent in. the driver
would be summoned before the
Board of Revocation and Review to
show cause why his drivers permit
should not be revoked.
In supporting establishment OF
such a group, Traffic Director Will
liam A. Van Duzer expressed con-
fidence that it would have a good
psychological effect on motorists,
especially when they receive letters
giving the nature. time and place
of each traffic violation reported by
a member of the committee"
The Legislation and Enforcement
Committee also urged an increase
to motorcycle policemen. They now
receive a bonus of S120 a year for
their work, due to the hazards in
volved in it.
In another recommendation the
committee asked that drivers train
ing courses be established in Wash
intgon high schools, and that
drivers proving ground where any
applicant for driving permit must
pass a test before being granted
permit be set up. The expense for
the proving ground would be de-
frayed from the gasoline tax and
highway fund
The Regulation Committee of the
Traffic Advisory Council, which met
jointly with the Legislation and
Enforcement Committee, recon-
mended that tires found to be I'M
fit for safe driving to be so branded
by District inspection stations.
The group also approved a pro-
posed traffic regulation which would
permit cars to be impounded for vio-
lation of any traffic law except over
time parking.
