A. 4. 4. Protests Plan
To Abolish Police
Safety Units
Accident Prevention
And School Petrol
Activities louded

Suggestions for aboliShing the
Police Department Accident Pre-
vention Unit and co-ordinator traffic
safety system drew a formal pro-
test to the District Commissioners
Yesterday by the American Auto
mobile Association.
The association declared these
two traffic safety activities of the
department are vital to the city's
traffic record at any time, and par
ticularly in the present period of
unprecedented growth" Copies of
the resolution were sent to civic as
sociations in the District, to the
Commissioners and to members OF
the District appropriations subcom-
mittees in House and Senate.
A.P. U. Activities Cited.
The resolution urged that the
present setup of the A. P. u, as
organized by Inspector Arthur E.
Miller, be retained under directicS
of an inspector in charge of traf1c
who is "a traffic specialist with prac-
tical experience and with special
training in the field of trafflc con-
troll and trafic law enforcement
1t was pointed out that members
Of the A. P. u patrol the streets of
Washington "a hours a day while
not investigating accidents. The
unit, it was said. made 4,181 ar
rests from January to June, 1941,
more than half of which were made
while cruising and in which no acci-
dents were involved. These viola
tions were, however, potential acci-
dents"
A proposal to eliminate the system
under which School Safety Patrol
members act under supervision of
police co-ordinators appointed from
each precinct was termed so OBJ
jectionable and unsound it deserves
more than passing comment"
School Patrols Praised.
The A. A. A. pointed out that in
1925, the year before the school
patrols were organized, 19 children
Of school age were killed by cars, as
compared with seven last year. This
safety record was maintained de-
spite the increase in traffic.
without the supervision of the
Is police co-ordinators," the reso-
luton said. "it would be virtually
impossible to maintain the superior
type of organization which the
patrol members have at the present
time. This activity, therefore, multi
plies many times the effectiveness
of the traffic organization of the
Police Department"

Axis Agents Move Files
To Remote Chilean Ports

German and Japanese diplomatic
representatives in Chile and Peru,
during the last few days, have been
placing the files of their respective
legations on Japanese steamships
that have put into two little used
Chilean ports, according to reports
received by Government officials to-
day. The ports are Tocopilla, and
Coquimbo.
In recent weeks, many Axis agents
in Latin America are reported 10
have moved to Chile. The files now
on the Japanese steamers are De-
lieved to contain confidential ma
terial relating to Axis economic and
political activities in the American
Republics. ....
In an action apparently designed
to offset possible freezing order,
Japan has just disposed of $500, 900
in dollar credits held to her account
in Brazil, American officials were ad-
vised today. Approximately $3,600,-
900 of these credits have been con-
verted into Brazilian currency, for
the purchase of merchandise, and
81 ,000, 900 has been transferred to
Santiago, Chile, and another 81 ,000,-
900 to Buenos Aires.

Under plan now being consid-

Bortender's $40 Tip Proves
To Be Worthless Bond Coupon
D. c. Hotel Worker
Finds 1870 Issue

John j. Healy, who tends the bar
at the Capitol Park Hotel, North
Capitol and E streets, was over
joyed a week ago when an English
man, pausing at the bar for a bit
of refreshment, left him a $40 bond
interest coupon as tip.
Failing to grasp the situation, Mr.
Healy was at first dubious. II can't

Mr.. Healy's first indication that
he was in possession of something
unusual came when he discovered
that his coupon was from a Florida
bond issued in 1870 He took it to
the post office, where he was ad-
vised to consult the Treasury. There
he was informed that he should
send the coupon to J. Ed Larson,
Florida State treasurer.
Today he learned the awful truth
That the coupon, due July l, 1873
was from bond issue authorized
by the Legislature in 1870 for con-

A slander suit for $4,000 filed
against Senator Gufiey. Democrat
of Pennsylvania, in 1889 by Marquis
Childs, Washington newspaper cor
respondent, was withdrawn at Dis
trict Court by Mr.. Childs yesterday.
Senator Guffeys.according to the
suit, had intimated in a conversa-
ton that Mr.. Childs was being paid
by someone outside the newspaper
business for story he wrote about
the Senator. The story said that the
late w. r. Davis had received advice
from Senator Guffey regarding deals
with Germany for oil from American
wells appropriated by the Mexican
government.
Senator Guffey later retracted his
statement about Mr.. Childs on the
Senate floor and for this reason,
according to Myron Ehrlich. at

Warning Issued
Against Storing
Gas Homes

Stern warning against stor-
age of gasoline in private homes
or business houseS-aS many
persons have been reported
doing here since the 7-to-7 gas
sales curfew became effective
was voiced today by Deputy
District Fire Chief A. c..
Buscher.
It's not only a violation
of fire regulations" said Mr..
Buscher, acting chief in the
temporary absence of Stephen
T. Porter. but it constitutes a
hazard to human life and prop
erty."
Regulations limit storage OF
gas in fireproof garages to a
maximum of two five-gallon
cans. Storing as much as five
gallons in a private home Is IL
legal, he added, the limitation

ID. {. Asks Ban
On Refugee
Physicians
Bill Would Restrict
Medical Practice Here
To American Citizens

In an action admittedly taken
because Of the influx Of refugee doc
tors from Europe, the District Com
missioners today sent to Congress
with their approval a bill designed
to restrict the practice of medicine
in the Nations Capital to American
citizens.
The measure has been approved
in principle by the District Medical
Society, it was said
District Health OfIicer George C.
Rutland, one of the sponsors of
the measure, declared that refugee
physicians had been given advan-
tages in Washington denied to ma
tives. As an example, he said that
such compulsory provisions as re-
quirement OF graduation from one
Of the country's accepted medical
schools and two years practice in
another community are waived for
non citizens.
In citing other reasons why such
legislation is needed, DR.. Rutland
pointed out that physicians fire.
QuClltly dlC Cdllcu OIl 10 perform
si-judicial acts such as issuance
of all kinds OF certificates. He also
stressed that physicians must be able
to testify to their allegiance to this
country.
The Commissioners, in a letter
transmitting the bill to Congress,
asserted that there are only four
States at present, besides the Dis
trict, which do not require either
citizenship or first papers of apph-
cants to practice medicine.
Due to unsettled conditions
abroad" the Commissioners said
there has been great influx of
various practitioners into the United
States and a great many have ap-
piled to the District Of Columbia
for license to practice. The Com
mission on Licensure has carefully
considered this question and strongly
recommends its adoption.
The proposed bill was submitted
to the Bureau of the Budget and
returned to the Commissioners with
the advice that there is no objection
on the part of that Office to the
presentation of the bill to Congress.

Row Over Boundary
Is Cited Against

MeCorron Soys Airport
Supplies Example
OfCompIicotions

Senator McCarran, Democrat OF
Nevada, yesterday cited the dispute
between Virginia and the District
over Jurisdiction of the new Ma
tional Airport as sample OF COM
plications likely to arise when ma
tional projects are taken beyond
District boundaries.
It was the Nevada Senator who
earlier in the day led an unsucceSs-
full fight in the Appropriations Com
mittee against location of the pro-
posed new s35 ,0OO, 900 War Depart
ment building, to house 10000 en-
ployes. on the Arlington Expert
mental Farm.
The Appropriations group ap-
proved the item, already passed by
the House, for a three-story con-
crete structure, to cover "a acres
near Arlington National Cemetery,
over the protest of the Fine Arts
Commission.
Airline Men in Dilemma.
Later in the day a delegation rep
resenting the various airlines called
on Senator McCarran to call atten-
ton to the dilemma confronting
them because of the doubt over
whether they are subject to Vir-
ginia or District laws.
Senator McCarran said this is a
Every vivid illustration" of what may
occur when national projects are
taken outside the District, and pre-
dicted it may have equal application
to the new War Department struc-
ture or other Federal activities.
Announcing that he has begun
inquiry in an effort to settle the
airport boundary dispute, Senator
McCarran said it has left the air
lines and management in danger of
double taxation.
Doubt Over Taxes Arises.
The Senator recalled that the
District government served notice
any cafeteria opened at the airport
would be subject to District licenses
and regulation. He said Virginia
also claimed jurisdiction. The same
doubt exists. he said. as to payment
of personal property taxes and social
security taxes.
Representative Nichols. Democrat
of Oklahoma, has offered a bill in
the House to fix the boundary so
that all Of the airport would be in
the District. At present the bound
ary bisects the airport. Senator Nc
Carran said the drawback to the
Nichols bill is that it would have to
be ratified by the Virginia Legisla-
ture.
Senate debate on the War Depart
ment building proposal is set for
Thursday, but the favorable report
of the Appropriations Committee on
the site already approved by the
House left opponents of that loca-
ton facing an uphill fight.

The experiment was recommended
by the Maryland Safety Council and
is regarded rs having had deter

est of public health or safety.
At the Interior Department,
which has been observing consump-
ton closely since the curfew was
instituted on the Eastern seaboard
a week ago last Sunday night, in
dications were that some form of
compulsory curtailment will be
necessary, possibly before the end
of this month.
10 Per Cent Cut Seen Likely.
Most logical step toward such
curtailment, it was said, would be
cutting down on the amounts that
refineries are permitted to deliver.
This in turn would be reflected in
decreased amounts allowed individual
stations. The initial cul:ailment,
unless events in the meantime de-
mand more drastic action, will be
for a comparatively small amount,
say, 10 per cent.

Ashore After Log

Excursion Steamer Stays
Aground for Two Hours
Off Boiling Field 5s.


The excursion steamer Potomac
with 1000 passengers aboard. went
aground OF Boiling Field this morn
ing with a damaged paddle-wheel
and remained fast in the mud for
two hours until repairs could be
made.
Officials of the Potomac River Line
said the vessel struck one of her
paddles against foa ating log shortly
after leaving her Maine avenue pier
at 9 am.
This passengers. bound for Colonial
Beach, Va, remained calm. Some
exchanged jibes with passing craft
and watchers on shore. The side
wheel vessels stern was only about
80 yards off the beach.
The police harbor patrol boat,
dispatched to the scene to render
aid II necessary. hovered about until
the paddle-wheel scoop" was re-
paired and the Potomac, under her
own power proceeded down the
river.
The city's fireboat was ordered to
stand by in case the vessel had to
be towed back to Washington.
A passing tug from local gravel
concern reported the side-wheeler
in distress and some alarm was
occasioned when watchers in the
control tower at the National Air
port said she was drifting helplessly
ashore.
Rivermen said the fact that the
Potomac was side-wheel powered
and not propeller-driven saved her
from possible damage when she
went aground. She drifted in stern
first and her paddles. which draw
only 6 feet of water, did not strike
bottom.
