Adolf Hitler "can, will and must be
beaten, and all the medals pinned
on the chests of so-called heroes
cannot avert it" Alvin G. York,
World War hero, declared tonight.
In an address prepared for de-
livery at the annual alumni BAN
uuet at the Alvin c. York Institute,
the former doughboy, described by
Gen. John J. Pershing as the great
est civilian soldier" of the World
War, asserted that America should
entertain no idea of compromise
with the totalitarian states.
America now stands at the cross
roads," he said. This is no time
to compromise with Hitlerism.
Those VINO advocate such a course
are following the illusion which
has already plunged the democra-
cies of Europe over the brink of
humiliation.

Great Britain, even If We have TO

morale problems different from
those in 1917 and 1918. it is en-
phasized, because the World War
trainees had the objective and in
centive of early combat duty. Ac-
cordingly, making the young men
better fitted for the civilian pursuits

current training activity.

Paradox Pointed Out.
''It is a strange paradox that some
of those leading the drive for gaso-
line conservation are responsible for
traffic control. On the one hand
they are encouraging conservation
of motor fuel and on the other caus-
ing a tremendous waste of this fuel
through the stop and go plan of
handling traffic"
The statement pointed out that
Washington "is now approaching the
million population mark" and that
the traffic problem was becoming in
creasingly serious. Some money Is
being spent on improving the situa-
ton here, it was stated, but the most
effective improvement would be the
change in the traffic light system.

Bv THOMAS r. HENRY.

Twenty years ago Chinese curlo
shops in American cities used to sell
for 25 cents each what were known
as water cheStnuts."
About that time a wealthy WASH
ington matron-so the story goes
purchased a few of the bulbs while
on a summer cruise to China,
brought them back to Washington,
and placed them in a goldfish pond
The pond overfowed during
spring floods and some of the chest
nuts got into the Potomac River.
Today approximately 5000 acres
of the river are so clogged with
them that small boats cannot nav1-

acres of dense growth in the water

A. A. A. Criticizes
Traffic Lights Here
As Archaic System
D. c. Officials Urged
To Abandon Use of
Staggered Signals

Washington's system of stag
gered" traffic lights was called an
archaic system" which is largely
responsible for traffic delays and
is a travesty on effective control" in
a statement issued by the American
Automobile Association last night.
The statement called on District
officials to act quickly to modernize
traffic lights here. presumably by
instituting system whereby all the
lights on one street would be green
at the same time.
Staggered lights are causing a
waste of gasoline, because of the
number of times it is necessary for
motorists to stop and start and the
traffic Jams which result, it was
charged.
Rush Hour Jam Cited.
"While staggered lights may be
desirable in some sections of the
city due to peculiar conditions" il
was stated, there is no excuse fol
this system on major thoroughfares
particularly in the rush-hou
periods.
For example, on such streets a
Wisconsin avenue, Connecticut ay'
enue, Sixteenth street, Thirteenth
street and others, where the cross
street traffic is comparatively light
The staggered light system is alst
p factor in causing mass trans
portation units and individual
motorists to beat the lights.
Blocked intersections at rush
hour periods are becoming a serious
problem. In many instances this il
due to the vehicles lined up waiting
for lights to change.
