UNCLE RAYS CORNER

The little country called Iceland
has been In the news more than
once since the present world war
started Whether it will become
a center of fighting is a story not
yet told, but in any case the people
have had a share of excitement.
In the spring Of last year, about
10000 British troops landed there
These were followed early in the
present summer, by American
soldiers.
President Roosevelt declared the
step was needed to guard an ap-
proach to the Western Hemisphere.
This statement might make us think
of the early history of the New
World. Iceland was one of the
stepping stones" used by Morse
men before the discovery of North
America. First they settled in Ice
land, then in Greenland, then in
a place which is believed to have
been part of the mainland of our
continent.
School histories tell how Lett
Ericsson and his men made voyage
to "Vinland" about the year 1000.
This was followed in later years by
voyages of Morse colonists who
tried to find the same region Eric
son had discovered They reached
sfere, but their colony did not last
long.

badge of the Durham Light Infantry
is worth two pocket buttons of an

the regimental insignia has similar
value to r. A. F., British Navy and

or 30 be occupied by the War and
Navy Departments.
Report Assails PrOcrastination.
To be effective, the report declared,
these recommendations must be
carried out, and not tied up with
procrastination and red tape which,
In the past, have been characteristic
of nearly every effort made by your
subcommittee to give Washington
a modern traffic system, not equal
TO, but exceeding that IN any city
of the Nation"
Admitting urgent need for public
off f-street parking facilities such as
contemplated in the bill" the sub
committee said of the fringe lot pro-
posal:
This plan undoubtedly would re-
heve the parking problem If the cost
and operation of these lots would
permit a fee of 10 cents for all-day
parking and certainly not more than
is cents. A higher fee would not
attract the class of motorist who
cannot afford the excessive rates
charged In privately owned garages
or on privately owned parking lots.
Moreover, the location of these
lots at points remote from the CEN
tral business area would be an in
convenience for the motorists who
use them, and the parking fee would
have to be low enough to compen-
safe them for this inconvenience.
Information has been given the
subcommittee that efforts would be
made to locate the lots near arterial
highways and to streets having
either streetcar or bus service. Even
30, a motorist who parked his car
On these lots would be faced with a
streetcar or bus fare to complete his
trip into the congested business
section.
Mall Site Preferred.
"A better plan, it appears to the
subcommittee, is to place the park
ing lots underground in an area
more easily accessible to the busl-
ness section. The wide expanse OF
the Mall, stretching from the Cap
ftol to the Washington Monument,
Is an ideal location for underground
garages. Underground garages there

cars. be near to the Federal depart
ment buildings and convenient 70

the business section and not cause
an ugly blemish on the landscape of
the worlds most beautiful city
Above all, they would probably be
less costly than the proposed fringe
lots, since the Mall is already owned
by the Federal Government.
Underground garages could be so
constructed as to serve a double
purpose. In addition to providing
needed parking facilities they
would, if so designed, furnish resi-
dents Of the Nations Capital with
readily accessible bomb proof shell
ters in event the city is ever SUBJ
jected to air raids"
The report declared the subcom-
mittee was not in agreement with
those District officials who believe
that the limited number Of park
ing meters in the business section
have contributed to relief of con-
gestion. On the contrary, the re-
port said:
Parked cars increase congestion
1t makes no difference whether
machine is parked in front Of a
meter or in a space that has no
meter. it still creates a bottleneck
Only a prohibition of all parking on
congested streets in the business
section will allow traffic to flow
freely
Modern "Hitching Posts"
"On less congested streets. 1t
might be practical to use parking
meters if the District of Columbia
government insists on getting reve-
nue. from that source. 1t is the be-
lief of the subcommittee that park
| ing meters are one arm bandits
and modern adaptation Of the old
time hitching posts"
For these reasons. The report de-
clared. the subcommittee could not
recommend a favorable report on
the bill in its present form. How
| ever. because of the vital need" Of
off-street parking facilities. it said
the subcommittee approves the sec
| ton authorizing their establish
ment by the Commissioners, but
recommends that the section pro-
viding for unlimited extension of
parking meters be amended with a
provision requiring that all future
meter installations be outside the
downtown business section.
The report pointed out that the
subcommittee twice this year had
made serious and comprehensive
surveys" of the traffic problems and
that, because of the failure of Dis
trict and Federal officials to follow
the earlier recommendations, con-
ditionS had steadily grown more
acute.
Official efforts. the report said,
have been directed on a program
of street widening and overpass con-
struction at serious traffic bottle
necks, instead of being concentrated
on subWays for both mass trans
portation and private vehicular traf-
flc. SubWayS, it was stressed, are
the only permanent solution to the
traffic problem.
SubwayS Held Preferable.
Quoting a paragraph in an earlier
report advocating subways and ele-
| waited highways, like the Pulaski
| Skyway in New York, and opposing
further street widenings and one
way streets as temporary palliative
| for congestion, the subcommittee de-
clared the latest traffic study had
merely served to strengthen its view
channels.
As in the first report, the sub
committee said the Federal and Dis
trict Governments should share
equally in the cost of the SubWayS.
