Two Traffic Bills
Among 8 for D. {.
Passed by Senate
One Calls for Study
Of Subwoy System;
; Go to President

Two measures designed to relieve
the traffic situation in the District
and meet wartime mass transporta-
tion problems were among eight
bills passed by the Senate yester-
day. Legislative action on three Of
these was completed and now go
to the President for his signature,
while five, including the two traffc
measures, 60 to the House for con-
current action
The bill, sponsored by Representa-
tive D'Alesandro, Democrat, of
Maryland, directs the District Com
missioners to make a preliminary
investigation of the feasibility" Of
underground rapid transit system in
the District. The House bill di-
rected that the Commissioners and
the Public Utilities Commission
should cooperate in this study, but
the Public Utilities Commission was
eliminated from the bill in the Sem
ate. A bill which originated in the
Senate amends the Trafiic Act by
limiting the penalty to a fine Of
$500 or 80 days in Jail for speeding
except in cases classed as reckless
driving"
Three other bills that must return
to the House provide: Fixing a
penalty of three years for stealing
automobile tires or other aeces-
sories; that any one practicing the
healing arts in the District must
be United States citizens, and au-
thorizing the establishment of a
cafeteria, with a blind attendant, at
Glenn Dale Sana 1oria.
The three bill that go to the
President for his approval call for
changing the name of Conduit road
to Macarthur boulevard in honor of
the heroic defender of the Philip
pines; allowing Rock Creek Parish
to extend its cemetery on land it
already owns in Rock Greek Park,
and directing the Zoning Commits
sion to require that parking facili-
ties be provided in connection with

Court Bill Is DELAYED
After Senate Approves
Nearby Appointments
Tydings Wins Leewoy
Of Appointees Living
Within 10-MiIe Rodius

The Senate postponed final action
on the bill to consolidate Munich
pal and Police Courts yesterday
after altering the measure to make
attorneys living within a 10-mile
radius of the District eligible for
appointment to the consolidated
court bench.
The alteration came in an amend
ment by Senator Tydings, Demo-
crat, of Maryland which struck out
a provision that the jurists would
have to be residents Of the District.
The vote was 40 to %. The provi-
sion that the judges must have been
practicing law for five years in
Washington was retained.
Norris Causes Delay.
The court bill was brought up
by Chairman McCarran of the Dis
trict Committee with the permis-
sion Of Senator Mcclellan, Democrat
of Tennessee, in charge Of the $32,-
000, 900 war appropriation bill be-
fore the body. Senator Mcclellan
yielded for half an hour, but Sena-
tor Norris, Independent, Of Nebraska
protested final action on the grounds
the measure was too important to
be disposed Of In that summary man
ner.
In addition to the consolidation
Of the two lower courts, the bill
also provides for establishment OF
an intermediate court of appeals
to handle cases from the consoli-
dated tribunal.
Senator Tydings declared himself
thoroughly in favor of the bill a.
rewritten by the Senate committee
after having been passed by the
House, except as to the requirement
for bona fide residence in the Dis
trict. He claimed that one-third o1
the attorneys practicing law before
the District courts live outside anc
that this narrows the number o.
eligible attorneys from whom q Sc
lection OF a judge could be made
Chairman McCarran and Senators
Overton, Democrat, Of Louisians
and Chavez, Democrat, of New Mex
leo, opposed the Tydings amend
ment.
Chavez Voices Objection.
Senator Chavez said that in NJ
State was a Judge appointed who il
not a resident of that State. "Th'
city of Washington does have fin,
lawyers. I object that every tint
they get q Judge in the District TIT
choice is made of a lawyer from
outside the District. In this wa!
the District gets Judge who woult
not be appointed to the bench in hi
own State. If a lawyer Is so goot
in Massachusetts,. why not appoin
him a Judge in Massachusetts,? VIVA
we see are men who are not goo
enough to be appointed in their owl
State sent to the bench In this Dis
trict. I object the same as I woult
if a Maryland lawyer was appointet
q judge in my own State"
1t was also pointed out that
number Of law firms have brancl
ofices here which are manned b.
lawyers sent In from the State
and that they could thus qualif.
for appointment for judgeship
here.

who could had remained indoors to
avoid a ducking. Late Wednesday
afternoon the storm broke, the sun
set clear and by seven o'clock peo-
pie of the cities, towns and farms
were out en- masse to see the
Christmas displays in the streets
and in the shops.
Then-bingl-street lights and the
decorative Christmas lights were
out. The sirens were sounding an
air raid warning. Over the radio
the interceptor command was order
ing all lights out in all homes, mo-
florists were instructed to stop at
the side Of the road wherever they
might be, put out all lights, and re-
main there until the "All Clear" sig
nal was given.
It was a blackout-C alifornia's
first hint of the meaning Of war.
The interceptor command reported
the possibility Of enemy planes be-
ing in the off1ng.
Winter nights can be chilly in
southern California. To sit for three
hours and more in unheated, UNI
lighted cars; to sit for three hours
and more In unlighted homes or to
find the way to bed in the dark,
takes more of something than the
American people usually display
but they did it.
Whether the interceptor COM

onstrated that the civilian popula-

that we have the spirit needed to
win this war.

we spend it? That is far more than
it cost to run the federal govern
ment for the first 100 years Of our
national existence, including the
cost of three major wars and some
smaller ones. It means spending
approximately $l53, 0O0, 900 each one
Of the 1856 days Of 1912; $6,S50, 900
for each one Of the 8,760 hours. My
guess is that there viii be some Of

"You have a son in France. He
is Offering all he has, including life,

asking a price, but you"
The tears came to his eyes as he
stopped me. mo-" he said, II had
not thought Of it in that way. The
price will not 60 up; 1t will come
down."
That should be the attitude of all
of us in this war.
"An OUT war means total sac
rifice on the part Of all Of us to de-
feat the enemy. The men in our
armed forces offer that total sac
rifice without thought of gain. They
offer life when needed. The manu-
facturer who demands a profit on
his product, the farmer who insists
on higher prices for his crops, the
workman who demands excessive
wages, who refuses to work long
hours, or strikes because he can en-
force unreasonable demands, are
not fighting an "all OUT war. They
refuse TO sacrifice for the cause.
SOCIAL GAINS
AND WAR PRODUCTION
IF AMONG social gains" are to
be counted the support of people
who do not want to work, or the
working of short hours, or short
weeks, we are going to sacrifice
some social gains" before we
achieve a maximum Of war produc-
ton and defeat the enemy. Amer
lea has something more important
than social gains" to think about
today. Should Hitler win, those are
not the only gains that would be lost.
DEBT DECREASE
THE COMMERCE department at
Washington reports decrease in
state and local debts by total OF
$42, 100000 for the II months end
ing last June 80. That is not much
out of total indebtedness of $780,
1873, 1000, 900 for local and state gov
ernments, but at least it is a step
in the right direction.
The present bonded indebtedness
Of local, state and federal govern
ments amounts to ST., 434, 000, 900.
That does not include the debts of the
various corporations and admins
trations chartered by the federal
government and for which we guar
antee their bonds, which means we
must pay them. 1t also does not
include the money loaned to the
democracies under the lease-lend
law, or much of our own cost of
preparedness and war. America will
not kick about any necessary war
cost, but most of us may complain
bit about the cost of unnecessary
civilian activities.
