Novel Idea Furthers Safety
.Of Thomson School Pupils

If Thomson School, Twelfth and L
streets NV. becomes the safety
school in Washington from the view
point of the absence of traffic ia
talities involving its children, it
probably will be due to novel idea
sponsored Jointly by Police Co-ordi-
nator Leslie Green of No. precinct
and Miss H. E. Lewis, third grade
teacher.
Last September Policeman Green
and Miss Lewis planned the project
of having each child in the school
learn the safest way to travel to and
from school,
To further this, each teacher in
the school drew a map of the area
for her class and the pupils were
then required to memorize the routes
they use in going to school and
coming home.
Maps Drawn in Glass.
The routes were then discussed in
class and changes in the interest of
traffic safety were made. For ex-
ample, it may have been shorter for
one pupil to cross Ninth and K
streets in coming to school. but he
or she would be shown that it would
be much safer to avoid that inter-
section and go up one block TO L
street, where there would probably
be a school safety patrolman or a
police officer.
But the third grade pupils went
this one better. They drew up a
large map. approximately by 8
feet, with the streets in the area
represented by colored strips of

Special Census of
METROPOLITAN D. C..

The w. P. A. has turned
down a request of the Census
Bureau for funds to finance a
sample census of Metropolitan

day.
To meet the demands of de-
fense and other Government
agencies for figures showing
the growth of population in the
District and nearby areas since
the decennial count of April l.
1910, the Census Bureau had
planned to take a sample CEN
sus during the week beginning
June %. Since it had no funds
for the purpose. the bureau
asked w. P. A. to finance the
project.
Despite the refusal of w. P. A.
to finance the project, the Cen
sus Bureau said today that it
hoped to carry out the project
within a month or so with the
financial help of defense agen-
cies. Plans for the same CEN
sus have been completed. In
addition to population, it will
include housing and employ
ment.

Moratorium on zoninq
To Draft Metropolitan
Area Plan Weighed
Planners Discuss ldeu
With Prince Georges
County Commissioners

B> a Staff Correspondent of The Star
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, June
ia plan to declare a moratorium
on pending zoning APPLICATIONS on
property in the metropolitan area
of Prince Georges County and de-
velop a master zoning plan for the
entire area is being considered by
the county membership on the
Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission.
A somewhat similar move has al
ready been made by the Montgom-
cry County Commissioners.
The Prince Georges plan was re-
vealed yesterday by r. M. Watkins,
planning commission member, who,
with George N. Palmer, another
member, and Irwin Kaplan, acting
chief engineer of the commission,
discussed the matter informally
with the Board of County Commits
sioners at their meeting here.
Favorable Action Forecast.
Mr.. Watkins said the plan prob
ably would be presented at the
next meeting of the Park and Plan
ming Commission and, if approved,
recommended for adoption by the
county commissioners.
1t is understood that the Prince
Georges County Commissioners
would favor such a plan on the
grounds that 1t would definitely
establish certain commercial and
industrial areas and eliminate much
of the usual contention between
the rezoning petitioner and resi-
dents who are affected by such
changes.
Several rezoning cases now are
pending, the solution of which
would rest in the plan, Mr. Watkins
said.
He pointed out that the mora
torium would not apply to cases
which concern property within or
adjacent to present industrial or
commercial areas.
Rapid Growth q Factor.
MIR. Watkins said the plan is the
result of the rapid growth of the
county's metropolitan area in the
past three years, during which new
residential areas have been de-
veloped and new highways planned.
Moreover, projected parkway de-
velopment is another reason why
some master zoning plan should
be adopted. Mr.. Watkins said.
Mr.. Kaplan pointed out that the
first step of the plan would be
survey consisting of field inspec-
tion and examination of all the
property in the county's metropoli-
tan area with a view toward pre-
pairing a city planning and zoning
map.

SenatorsStudY
Increased Funds
For District
Officials Asked
To List Urgent
Projects
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

Possibility of increasing the House
approved s52,547,000 District appro-
priation for 1912 by adding a list
of urgent emergency items was
discussed Informally by the Sen
ate subcommittee as it began hear
ings on the measure today.
If the Senate group should de-
eide to add more than $1,000.000 to
the bill. it would have to be ac-
companied by additional revenue
through an increase in the S6,000,-
900 Federal payment or new taxes
The District Commissioners, how
ever, in their opening testimony
only asked the Senators to restore
approximately $650,230 of the ST.
O51 500 the House cut from budget
estimates. This, they pointed out
would still leave the District gov
ernment with revenue cushion OF
about 100000 to take care of sup
Elemental needs that usually de-
velop during the year.
When Senator Overton, Democrat
of Louisiana, in charge Of the bill,
asked if needs exist for expenditure
of that 100000 also, the Commits
sioners called attention to the list
of supplemental needs prepared for
members of the House District Com
mittee after the new appropriation
bill had been completed. This list
consisted of S6,194,703 of miscellane-
GUS projects to be financed out OF
the general fund, and ST $4,000 out
of the gas tax highway fund. The
list was prepared on the assumption
that ST 100000 of it would be met by
that much of an increase in the
Federal payment and the balance
through increased real estate and
gas taxes,
List of Urgent Projects Asked.
AS the subcommittee was receSSlng
this afternoon, Senator Overton
asked the Commissioners to select
from their supplemental list and
submit separately tomorrow any of
those projects that could be deemed
urgent or emergency for the coming
year. There was no indication as
to what part of the $1,000 900 total
of general fund and highway sup
plementals would be embodied in
the new emergency list.
There was some indication the
subcommittee may consider adding
to the bill an emergency title 2,
in which provision would be made
for part of this supplemental pro-
gram.
Under questioning by Senator
Overton, District Assessor Edward A.
Dent pointed out that the real
estate assessment total has been re-
duced somewhat by the acquisition
of more Federal property, and that
real estate taxpayers are already
providing S22,000.0O0 out of the
total general funds receipts of s32,-
900 900.
Few Specific Items Considered.
During a general discussion of
taxes, Senator Holman. Republican
of Oregon, said he had always taken
the view that a sales tax falls
hardest on the poor, but did not
believe that argument would apply
in the District, where it would
afford an opportunity to have the
tourists bear a share of the ex-
penses of the Capital
Only few specific items, related
to the upkeep of the District
Building, we're considered today.

Navy|s Taking Steps
To Call All REMAINING
Reservists 10 Duty
ABB Enlisted Men
And 1854 Officers
Face Active Service

IN an eHort 10 procure OIncerS
and men for the "two-ocean Navy"
the Navy Department announced
today it was taking steps to call
into active service all remaining
members of the Reserve.
This will include 1854 COM
missioned officers and 14,313 enlisted
men, many of whom are members
of the merchant marine. The Navy
announcement said that under the
new plans such officers may be
called without their consent, al
though it is intended that the
orders shall constitute a minimum
of disruption TO the work of the
merchant marine. Prior to june
II. when the latest order was issued
Merchant Marine Reserve officers
were ordered into active service only
on their own application or with
their consent.
AS another step in building nava
man power, it was announced thai
the chief of Bureau of Navigation
has circularized about 1900 gradu.
ates of the Naval Academy anc
former officers of the Navy with
a view of finding their availability
for possible service.
Recruiting Service Sped.
Navy officials made it plain that
Naval ReserviSts will be released
from active duty as soon after the
end of the emergency as their serv-
ices can be spared"
The naval recruiting service also
has been speeded up and has set a
goal of from $4,000 to $4,000 recruits
a month for an indefinite period.
The announcements were made
public at a press conference presided
over by Capt. A. T. BidWel, assistant
chief of the Bureau of Navigation
in absence of Secretary Knox who
was detained by appointments on
Capitol Hill and later at the White
House.
Questioned as to when the re-
manning reservists may be called,
Capt. Bidwell said they would not
be ordered into service Immediately.
Well call them as we need them, -
he said.
Needed on Auxiliary Craft.
The report of the Bureau of Navi-
CATION said that on June Is the
United States Navys personnel
strength was 264.798 officers and
men. There were 24,433 officers of
the Regular Navy and Naval Reserve
on active duty, and 239.722 enlisted
men. 1t was pointed out that the
authorized enlisted strength of the
Navy is 29l 900. but that that figure
could be boosted without congress
sional action with only an executive
order from President Roosevelt.
Reverting to the discussion of
Merchant Marine Reservists going
into active duty, Capt. Bidweu said
that in the case of the larger ships
taken over by the Navy recruiting
campaign was undertaken on the
ships to get the personnel to go
into the Naval Reserve and stay on
the craft to which they were ac-
cuStomed
I'VE had fairly good luck getting
volunteers among the officers and
almost no luck among the men," he
said. He added that several of the
high officers of the ships would re-
main in slightly different capacities
on the vessels, citing the America
and the Washington.
Discussing the campaigns to built
up the personnel of the Navy. Capt.
Bidwell said that crews of the feet
now were almost 100 per cent COM
plete. The huge numbers of men
going into the Naval Reserve are
used largely on the fleet of auxiliary
vessels
