Skip Stops Urged
BySchu|te toS Speed
DC. TransitService
Streetcurs und Buses
Would Take on Passengers
At Alternate Blocks

Revival of the so-called Skip
stop" system used by Washington
transit lines during the World War
period to expedite transportation of
Government workers and other pas
sengers was advocated late today by
Chairman Schultz of the Streets
and Traffic Subcommittee of the
House District Committee.
Under the plan, streetcar or
bus would stop only at alternate
street intersections instead of at
every block.
The 'skip-stop' system apparently
worked out satisfactorily during the
World War days" declared Repre-
sentative Schultz, "and it should be
even more advantageous this time
with Washington bulging with the
greatest population in history and
it's public transportation facilities
seriously overtaxed.
Little Inconvenience.
Adoption of the plan will cause
little inconvenience. 1t will mean
that some people may be forced to
walk an additional block to board
a bus or a streetcar, but these peo-
pie will be rewarded with quicker
transportation to and from work. 81
Mr.. Schultz pointed out that the
extraordinary demands now being
made on transportation facilities ap-
pear to have led to "stepup" in the
running schedules of buses and street
cars, with the result that theiI
operators are violating the speed
regulations and Jumping red lights
He called attention to the recent
secret checkup made by the Police
Department at his request which
showed Al violations of traffic regu-
lations by bus drivers and street cal
motormen over 24-hour period.
Six Employees Questioned.
Six of the transit company en-
ployes accused of some of the viola
tions were questioned yesterday BY
the subcommittee. Representative
Schultz said the Police Department
made no arrests in these cases al
the request of the subcommittee anc
that no action would be taken
against the accused employees.
''I think the publicity given these
violations will better serve the inter.
ests of the District than any fine.
that might be imposed on the transit
employees" he declared. Il am salts
fed that every employe of the transit
company is trafic-minded now anc
will observe the traffic regulations
If they don't, watch the police crack
