ploye since 1916.
Due at work at 9:l5 am, he comes
from his Arlington home and parks
at m. each day. He reads mag
azines and writes letters-and then
walks.
Parks Congested.
Police complained today that all
day parking in the park drives is
now so extensive that almost no
space is left for those who wish to
use the grounds for recreation.
Surveys by the District TRAFFIC
Bureau indicate that Al per cent Of
all Government workers driving
their cars to work come from Mary
land and Virginia About one-third
of the cars carry only the driver.
Secretary Ickes and others are try
ing to induce drivers to carry double
loads, to save gas and parking space.
Many of the early parkers say
they are in favor of the Nays sug-'
gestion of turning park land into au-
tomobile space officials have cast
more favor, however, on the plan
of District Highway Director H. C..
WhitehurSt to establish fringe"
parking lots and garages. Large
plots of land outside the business
and Office areas would be used as
parking areas, and shuttle buses
would run from three to congested
districts.

Jobs Of 300 More Men
On District W.P.
Are Saved by Order
Commissioners Write
At Same Time Protesting
Severity Of Cut

The jobs of 300 more of the Dis
trict w. P. A. project workers facing
dismissal July / were saved today
by an order by Federal w. P. A..
Administrator Howard o. Hunter as
the Commissioners, coincidentally,
wrote to him protesting the severity
of the cut previously accorded to
the District.
Administrator Hunter at first
ordered a so per cent cut in the
Districts 5000 project workers and
later, after protests had been voiced
by District officials, reduced the
number to $500.
When Mr.. Hunter, in statements
to the press, had insisted that his
order reducing the Washington
w. P. A. rolls was justified by i'm
proved economic conditions here, he
indicated he could make no modifica-
ton of the order.
After the later reduction of the
cut to $500. however, District w PA.
Administrator Paul Edwards today
received telegram from the Federal
agency announcing that 300 more
project workers who are taking ma
tional defense training courses
operated by the public school sys-
tenn in cooperation with the w. P. A.
could be continued in training.
National Percentage Cited.
The letter of protest prepared by
the Commissioners and sent to Ad-
ministrator Hunter before they
knew of today's modifying order,
urged the Federal official to temper
the severity of the proposed cut to
place it more in line with the per-
centage of reduction we understand
you are required to make under the
national relief bill"
The original Hunter order, for a
so per cent cut, was the highest for
any State, the District being tied
with Connecticut, whereas District
officials estimated the average for
the country under the national re-
lief bill would be but 20 per cent.
The Commissioners declared that
while conditions here had improved,
this was mostly due to national de-
Tense activities of the Government
and that probably many of the
local workers would be unable to
get such jobs.
Hardships Feared.
They told Mr.. Hunter it was likely
Congress would approve increased
sums in the District appropriation
act to care for the anticipated
greater relief need and added: "Pri-
vate charities will be urged to a
further realization of their re-
sponsibility to the public and a seri-
GUS effort will be made to encourage
employers throughout the District
to offer these people employment.
Despite these various remedial eff
forts, the Commissioners are appre-
hensive that a considerable portion
of these people will be faced with
serious hardship if the indicated re-
duction must be made effective"
In conclusion, the city heads de-
clared they could not bring them
selves to agreement that the pro-
posed cut is equitable in the light Of
present local conditions.
With the jobs of TOO saved by
notifications already granted by
Mr.. Hunter, the percentage OF those
tn he dismissed is about Al per cent
of the total.

Uniform Stotus Given
Compensation Board

The House passed and sent to
the Senate yesterday a bill to place
the District Unemployment Com
pensation Board on the same basis
as similar organizations in the
States in relation to the Social Sc
curity Act.
A recently enacted law requires
all State boards to spend money
procured from the Social Security
Board as the latter board directs
and to report annually any sums
spent otherwise. The bill requires
the District Unemployment Com
pensation Board to do likewise.

Special Board Named
By Commissioners
Starts Police Inquiry
Check on D. c. Facilities
And System With Other
Cities Being Considered

The Commissioners own inveStlga-
ton of Police Department efficiency,
designed to find means of improv-
ing it, was started today when the
three-man special board named yes
terday by the city heads began gath
ering all available statistical data on
department personnel.
Assistant Budget Officer William
G. Wilding was asked by the COM
mittee to prepare a digest to this
effect, listing the number of men in
the department, appropriations for
their service and equipment and
other pertinent information avail
able in District records.
The first active step viii be taken
tomorrow by the board, however,
when its members attend the OPEN
ing session of the Congressional in
quiry, to be conducted by the en-
larged Schultz subcommittee of the
House District Committee
Board Appointed Yesterday.
Members of the board named yes
terday by the Commissioners are
Maj. Beverly C. Snow, assistant en-
gineer commissioner; Walter L. Fow
Ter, budget director for the District,
and Maj. James R. Lusby, District
diSburSing officer. They conferred
briefly yesterday afternoon with
Commissioners John Russell Young
and Charles w. Kutz.
Possibility that the Commissioners
board will inquire into the school,
ing, police training and experience
of each member of the Detective
Bureau of the Police Department
was suggested today by members of
the group. 1t was suggested also
that the board members would in
quire closely into what facilities the
District Government now offers for
the training of members of the Po-
lice Department to become men,
bers of the Detective Bureau and as
to whether these facilities are ade-
quate
Only for Fact-finding.
The Commissioners were unani-
NOUS in their action in setting up
their special board. They empha-
sized the work of this board was not
intended to be in competition with
the probe ordered by the House
District Committee. In fact, the
city heads said they planned to hold
no formal hearings and that the
special board would serve only as a
fact-finding agency for the COM
missioners, leaving all actions to the
city heads.
1t was stressed by Brig Gen. Kutz
that the scrutiny or appraisal to be
made by the District board would
constitute an administrative study
and he said this implied, definitely,
comparisons of the District Police
Department with that of other
cities.
Commissioner Young agreed with
this statement, but he made clear
that he hoped the group would be
able to make a fact-flnding survey
of the efficiency of the department
from top to bottom" and give the
Commissioners Data on which they
could decide whether the right man
are assigned to the right positions,
whether the department had suffi-
cient men, sufficient equipment and
proper facilities for training of de-
tectives and for crime investiga-
tons.

Planners Approve
Completing Link
For Fort Drive
Acquisition Fills Gap
From Fort Totten to D. c.
Line at Bernard Hill

Acquisition of the last link in the
Fort Drive encircling the city was
ordered today by the National Cap
ital Park and Planning Commission.
This link fills the gap from Fort
Totten to the District line at Barn
ard Hill.
Norman C. Brown, associate land
purchasing officer, said the commits
sion had ratified a condemnation
award embracing this important ad-
dition to Fort Totten Park. thus
completing the acquisition of the
Civil War fort situated east of Rock
Creek Church road and south of
Gallatin street NV.
The commission dealt only with
land purchases this morning and
postponed till later in the day dis
cussion of the Washington parking
situation with the possibility of in
shutting automobile parking spaces
fringing the central business and
Government district.
Other Parcels Taken.
Mr.. Brown said the same con-
domination included other items
which complete that section of the
Fort drive between the Metropolitan
branch OF the Baltimore g. Ohio
Railroad and the District line on
the east. 1t stretches about a mile
long.
With the acquisition of these prop
critics the commission said the Fort
drive, which has been many years in
planning, will have been completed.
Other land acquisitions were made
in the Fort Reno Park area and in
the Harrison School Playground
site.
In addition to these properties,
the commission voted to acquire a
neighborhood playground of about
212 acres in the vicinity of South
Dakota avenue and Charming street
NE. If acceptable prices cannot be
arrived at by direct negotiations
with the owners, the commission
authorized the institution of con-
demnation proceedings.
When the parking problem comes
up, studies will be made of DOS
sible fringe parking locations in the
District and in nearby Virginia from
which motorists would be delivered
to their destinations by special
buses. The parking fee would in
clude the bus transportation. Of
f1cials explained that such systems
are used in Philadelphia, New York
and Boston.
Park Parking to Come Up.
The question of parking in the
parks also was to come in for dis
cussion. The Navy Department says
it has 10000 employees and room for
parking only 488 automobiles. It
suggested use of parks for parking,
but Secretary of the Interior Ickes
expressed opposition to such plan.
officials of the commission said
yesterday the proposed moratorium
on coming changes in Montgomery
and Prince Georges County, Md, had
brought about possibility of a COM
prehenSive study and revision of
coming plans in the District. This
also was listed for discussion at to-
days meeting.
Highway changes and street clos
ings will be submitted for approval
tomorrow, and the legislative report
will be given Thomas S. Settle, Sec
rotary of the commission. The pro-
posal to develop circulation through
the grounds of Gallinger Hospital
and to coordinate it with extension
of Massachusetts, avenue is to come
before the meeting tomorrow.
