Mitigating Downtown Disease
Seen in Highwoy Program

Thomas H. Macdonald. commits
sioner of the Public Roads Admin
istration, last night heartily recon-
mended the new District of Colum-
bia highway report as one means
of escaping from the disease" Of
depreciating downtown property
values which he said was affecting
many American cities largely be-
cause of traffic congestion.
Speaking at the annual meeting
of the Washington Board of Trade
at the Mayf1ower Hotel, after the
report had been presented by Capt.
H, C. Whitehurst. director of high
ways for the District, Mr.. Mac
Donald said the survey in Wash
ington was like one covering all
the States.
we developed the fact that cities
have become the focus of traffc
problems, he said. They. are I'M
dergoing a migration of values.
There is a depreciation of values
in the central areas due to conges-
ton of traffic, and the failure of
cities to serve newly developed traf-
&c and to meet new conditions.
This survey here is not one which
will depend alone on your sup
port of your interest generally in
civic development. It comes closer
home to you. and attacks the in
terests of business in the COM
munity.
IF you have the element of faith
in this survey and in the future of
your city; if you can have confidence
in the facts, I feel certain you can
support its findings. To be sure,
there may be some who will take
exceptions to part of it.
But development of facilities is
necessary to take care of the grow
ing traffic which focuses on this
National Capital. If these recon-
mendations are followed through,
with reasonable support of the Fed
eral Government. they will attack
the disease of cities. which We have
found epidemic throughout the
Nation.
You will set a model for other
cities Of the Nation"

A careful survey of the central

not given the parking problem

Longtime Parkers
Take TWo-Thirds Of
Downtown Space
Whitehurst Recommends
Additional Meters as
Aid TO Trunsients

More than two-thirds of the ap-
proximately $4,000 on-street and off
street parking places in the central
business district of Washington are
occupied daily by Government en-
ployes and others who leave their
cars parked all day. Capt. H. c.
Whitehurst, District director Of
highways. points out in the report
on traffic conditions he has sub
mitted to the Commissioners.
The all-day parking situation
leaves transient or short-term park
ers only 10000 spaces in which to
leave their automobiles while they
shop or attend to other business,
and priority is given this type of
motorist in the program he has out
lined for relief of the city's traffic
Ills.
To establish the short-term park
ers' priority, he recommends that
parking meters be used at all ap-
propriate locations in the area.
These devices, he predicted, will
open to the transientS many spaces
now used exclusively by all-day
parkers.
Urges More Parking Lots.
AS other methods to help the
short time parker, Capt. Whitehurst
suggested that more commercial
parking lots and garages be estab-
hshed, that business interests be
encouraged to provide customer
parking facilities, and that sufficient
parking space be provided in the
vicinity of Government establish
ments for the proper transaction of
public business.
For the relief of the long time
parkers after meters have driven
them off the streets, Capt White
hurst proposed that parking lots be
established on the edge of the
central business district and that

Judge Davis Appears

Investigating Him
Justice Aides Accompany
Retired Jurist Accused
By Attorney General
p tie Associated Press.

P. tie Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, March 20-J.
Warren Davis, 74-year-old retired
Judge Of the Third Circuit Court of
Appeals, appeared today before a
Federal grand jury investigating as
sertions he conspired to obstruct
Justice.
Judge Davis, who retired two years
ago, was accompanied to the jury
room by Walter H Gahagan, jr., one
of two special assistants to Attorney
General Jackson directing the in
quiry.
Neither Mr.. Gahagan nor Hugh A.
Fulton. the other assistant, would
say whether the former jurist was
subpoenaed as witness or requested
the privilege of appearing.
First witness before the jury when
it began its deliberations Tuesday
was Judge Davis daughter, Mrs.
Mary Seagrave Davis Firestone, wife
of Roger Stanley Firestone, son of
the late rubber magnate.
The jury opened its investigation
after Attorney General Jackson, in
a communication appointing Mr..
Gahagan and Mr.. Fulton, said the
department had been Informed"
Judge Davis, William Fox, one time
motion picture producer; David
kaufman, former Minister to Siam,
and now Philadelphia attorney,
and others had violated Federal
laws.
The violations were reported to
have occurred, Mr.. Jackson said,
through "corruptly influencing, OBJ
structing and impeding and cor
ruptly endeavoring to influence, OBJ
struct and impede the due admin
istration of justice"
Federal authorities declined to dis
cuss the nature of the supposed vio-
lations.
Several bankruptcy cases involving
the Fox holdings were before the
court during Judge Davis period of
office. Mr.. kaufman served as a
contemporaries trustee in the reor-
ganization Of the old Philadelphia

Fires Defense Minister
To Call on Roosevelt

Frank Aiken, Fires Minister for
Defense Coordination, visiting the
United States to buy arms and sup
plies for the Irish Army of 100000
men, said today he will have an in
terview with President Roosevelt
when the Chief Executive returns to
Washington from his Southern sea
voyage.
Mr.. Aiken, in a press conference
at the Irish Legation yesterday, said
the Irish would resist to the end
any pressure from any quarter for
military use of Irish bases in the
present European conflict. The
Irish, he said, are prepared to fight
for their neutrality.
THE fundamental reason we are
opposed to giving our ports as
bases Mr.. Aiken said, lis that the
bases belong to us. Giving any one
the bases would be getting us into
the war through the back door-and
If we go in, we'll go in the front
door"
While the Irish are already armed,
the Minister said, they need more
modern equipment, including planes,
anti-aircraft and anti-tank guns.
