They are very expensive.

1t recommended that the cruel
personnel, the brutal guards of
Whittier be eliminated and that

that vocational training be

N eed for Better
Highways Seen

The need in this state for more
divided lane highways to meet
the demands of modern traffic. 10
self-evident, declare members Of
automobile clubs. tourist organ
izations and others who have
studied the subject.
They point to the benefits of
such highways as those between
Seattle and Tacoma. the Pacific
highway north OF Olympia and be-
tween Seattle and Everett where
traffic is divided into two streams
and safety is built into the road.
One of the greatest needs for the
speeding of traffic and the safety
of motorists is the modernization
of the Pacific highway between
Olympia and the Columbia river.
these authorities declare. II is ex-
pected 1941 will see work on this
part Of the states highway system
well advanced so that the present
dangerous bottleneck will be elm
mated
Divided express highways have
demonstrated. according to traffic
engineers, that they give motorists
the best assurance for safe travel.
Opposing streams Of traffic are
separated. That means no head-on
collisions. Side-swiping and head
light-glare accidents are reduced to
a minimum.
Grade separations nj intersec-
tons with railroads and busy high
ways, turnout facilities and other
accessories provide safety and the
utmost in fast, free moving travel
Highway engineers and other u
thorities who face the daily need
for better highways that reduce
Transportation costs and increase
safety, agree that no state can
afford TO divert gasoline and motor
fees to other purposes. Highway
funds in the state are provided by
those who use the roads.

Trial Of Two Women
In Mothers Group
To Enter Fourth Day
Mrs. Nibberich Quizzed
On Purpose of Going
To Glass Office

Trial of Mrs. Elizabeth K. Dilling
and Mrs. Clara Nibberich on
charges of disorderly conduct, on
which they were arrested last Fri
day in the Senate Office Building,
was to be resumed for the fourth
day this afternoon in Police Court
before Judge Hobart Newman.
Yesterday, Mrs. Nibberich, de-
fendant, and defense witness,
Mrs. Ruby Cook of Chicago, were
questioned by Assistant Corporation
Counsel G. r. Littlehales regarding
their purpose of going to the office
door of Senator Glass in the Senate
Office Building.
Upon receiving She explanation
that a group of women had gone
there to present the Virginia Sena-
tor with a United States flag, Mr..
Littlehales asked Mrs. Cook to ex-
plain what bearing the flag preSen-
tation would have had regarding
their work to defeat the British
aid bill. He received in reply that
she considered it a patriotic ges-
ture." She added that she had
heard that another group had OBJ
served British flags in the office.
Tell of Other Visits.
Both the witness and Mrs. Nib
berich told of visiting the Offices of
other Senators Friday morning be-
fore going to Senator Glass office,
but when asked by Mr.. LittlehaleS
what other Senators they had gone
to see. they testified they did not
remember They said, however,
they were received cordially at the
offices of the other Senators.
Mrs. Cook, in reply to questions,
said she was from Chicago, the
wife of wholesale meat dealer and
the mother of two daughters, one
6 and the other 10 years old.
Mrs. Nibberich testified she was
from st, Louis and the mother Of
three children, two sons of 18 and
10 years of age and daughter 81.
Deny BOisterOus Conduct.
Mrs. Nibberich and Mrs. Cook
each denied there had been loud and
boisterous conduct or that any of
the group had obstructed the en-
trance to the Senate Office Build
ing, which both defendants also are
charged with having done.
T. Edward O'Connell, defense at
torney, announced after recess of
the trial yesterday he would decide
whether he would ask to put on

Association Urges

Columbia Heights Unit
Also Calls for Sales Tax
For Washington

A subway transportation system
as the solution to Washington
traffic problems was urged upon the
President, Congress and the District
Commissioners last night by the
Columbia Heights Citizens Associa-
ton. The action followed a talk by
Francis j. Settle. Rural Electrif1ca-
ton Administration engineer, on his
study of the subway system, as
relief to concentration of traffic.
The resolution, submitted by Mrs.
Marie F. Maddox, also stated that
the construction of subways would
partly solve the unemployment
problem and that underground pas
Sages could be used as bombproof
shelters in time of war. AS the first
step toward constructing the pro-
posed subways, the association sug-
gested an appropriation of $25 900
by the District government for a
survey of the possibilities of an
underground system.
The association favored a sales
tax to supplant the Districts present

nights to get him the ships to bring
the stuff home.
Most of the supplies Mr.. Jones has
purchased are of foreign origin
the idea being to stock up on vital
materials that might be hard to i'm
port in wartime. Thus far Mr.. Jones
has acquired 119,500 tons of rub
ber, $4,000 tons of antimony, 264 900
tons of chromium, 215,000 tons Of
copper, 100000 tons of manganese
ore, $4,000 tons of tungsten, 100000
tons of nitrates and 5000 diamond
dies. Boats are loading them in the
East Indies, Asia and South Amer
lea.
Besides all these operations, the
indefatigable Texan finds time for
his job as Secretary of Commerce.
Secretary's Biggest Job.
For a man who has done more
financing than any agency outside
the United States Treasury, Mr..
Jones has found in the defense pro-
gram his biggest job. His financing
there soon is expected to pass the
81 $50 100000 he advanced to
strength the Nations banks after
the 1888 banking holiday, and may
double the $8OO,O0O,0OO aid he gave
the railroads.
One reason a lot of the defense
program has been channeled
through the Federal loan agency is
the fexibility that Mr.. Jones has
installed there. In one case, Mr..
Jones will lend company the
money to build an airplane plant
In another case, he may find it best
to build the plant himself and hire
the company to run it.
