yhv Federation Asks 352 More Police and u Continuance

at least 352 officers of such an in
crease being assigned to traffic duty.
The increase cannot come by as
signment from the present force
which is now 481 men short of the
personnel necessary year ago to
provide adequate police patrol in the
District under conditions as they
existed at that time as shown in the
Safety Committees report on the
Adequacy Of the Police Force With
Respect to the Men Actually Avail
able for Patrol Duty on the Streets
and Highways Of the District Of
Columbia" which this federation
adopted on February Is, 1941. We
now have more cars, more people,
more trafiic by far than we had
when that report was adopted and
in spite of the increases in the police
force 1t Is still inadequate.
Such an increase in the TRAFFIC
Division must therefore be provided
by an increase in the total force.
The cost Of such an increase in the
Traffic Division to meet salaries and
provide equipment is less than one
fourth Of the financial loss to Dis
trict citizens due to trafdc accidents
during 1941, less than $1,000, 900.

face of such records most cities per-
sist in regarding traffic control as a
subordinate part Of police work. The
amount Of money spent to prevent
accidents in most large cities Is but
a small part of the amounts ex-
pended to combat crime and to
maintain their fire departments. The
District is no different from the
vast majority of cities in this respect.
During 194l, traffic in the District
killed 95 persons, injured 1880 per-
sons, and there were over $1,000 ac-
cidents causing property damage.
During the same time, the District
had 1873 officers and men out of an
Authorized force Of l,6l7 assigned to
duty with the Traffic Division and
of these, 147 were actually on the
street doing traffic work and these
men are split into three tours Of
duty.
The economic cost of this ghastly
traffic record to the citizens of the
District includes damage to prop
erty, lost use Of damaged vehicles
while they are being repaired, the
cost of medical treatment and hos
pitalization for those injured, wages
lost by injured persons while in
capacitated due to injuries and the
calculated life values Of persons
killed.

T. Paul Mudd's
Forebear Set Leg
OF Lincoln's SLAYER
BY CAMBRIDGE CRIST.

Among the Government officials
who find time from their jobs to
take an active part in the civic life
of the city is T. Paul Mudd, chief
investigator for the Federal Housing
Administration.
For the past two years, Mr.. Mudd
has been president of the Randle
Highlands Citizens Association, del
egate to the Federation and to the
Southeast Council Of Citizens Asso-
Citations, where he Is chairman Of
the Law and Legislation Committee.
To the historically minded, the
name Mudd may ring bell. He has
found that it does with lot of peo-
pie. His grandfather, DR.. Samuel
A. Mudd, made the headlines by
setting the broken leg Of John
Wilkes Booth, assassin of President
Lincoln.
Sentenced to life imprisonment
for completely in the crime, DR..
Mudd performed such remarkable
service as physician during an out
break of yellow fever at his prison
that he was Internationally released
by President johnson after serving
four years. Mr.. Mudd said his
grandmother went to President
johnson a number Of times to plead
for her husband
Born in the District, Mr.. Mudd
attended Gonzaga High School, re-
ceived his A. B. degree from George

Using the National Safety Coun-

for the District this figure Is con-

The officers and delegates of the

that action. the Accident Prevention

the rest were handled by the pre-
