were left to the Presidents judg-
ment.
Earlier Mr.. Vinson disclosed that
the Navy soon whould ask for a new
multi million dollar program of air

ment the existing program under
which at least II carriers are on the
ways and seven are listed as already
operating with the fleet.
Mr.. Vinson said the legislation to
authorize the aircraft carrier ex-
pansion would be introduced soon

BOSTON, June 1.-The Boston
Red SoX today announced the
outright cash sale of First Base
man Jimmy Foxx to the Chi
cago Cubs of the National
League. No other players were
involved, the club announced.

one of the games modern stars.
Team captain of the Red Sox,
Foxx has played five full seasons

he broke into the big time as a

Traffic Safety Needs
Growing in District,
House Group Is Told
Advisory Council Asks
That $50, 900 Item Be
Allowed in D. G. Bill
BY J. A. OIEARY.

Washington will need a more
intensive traffic safety program
during the next IL months de-
spite war restrictions on driving,
the Traffic Advisory Council told
the Senate subcommittee han
ding the District appropriation
bill today.
A. Julian Brylawski. spokesman
for the council, pointed out that
while there will be some reduftion
in traflc, especially pleasure driv-
ing, the following factors must be
considered on the other side of the
picture:
The population to be educated in
safety has increased greatly; re-
stricted sale of new cars to replace
those wearing out will lower the
average standard of maintenance;
education will be needed to forestall
accidents during blackouts; the
number of pedestrians is increas-
ing faster than the number of cars
is decreasing.
The House allowed $4,000 for
traffic safety work The Advisory
Council asked for 100000
The subcommittee, which hopes
to complete the hearings this after
noon, also heard Washington I.

of the American Automobile Asso-
citation urge inclusion of funds for
added personnel in the Motor We
hicles Department to carry out its
proposed reorganization.
Wants Engineering Experts.
The full amount Mr.. Cleveland
believes necessary is $4,000, but he
stressed the Importance of adding
at least $500 for two engineering
experts. Pointing out that motor
vehicle license fees last year amount
ed $2,005, 900, while only $500 was
spent on running the department,
Mr.. Cleveland arged that the pay
ment of that amount in fees juSti-
fies the motorists In asking that a
more substantial part of it be spent
for service.

uled to go before the subcommittee
