1870 Less Vehicles
Than in 1941 Use
Dupont Circle Daily

Inc NUMBER OF vehicles using
Dupont Circle has dropped from
49,970 a day in 1941 to $4,000 re-
corded during an origin and desti-
nation survey made April 3 at the
circle by the Highway Department,
but 1888 vehicles are expected to
use the circle by 1855.
The department based the CAL
culation for 1855 on the return of
1941 volume after the war, in addi-
ton to- a. Is per cent increase in
traffic n the years to come.
Highway workers, under Capt.
H. C. Whitehurst, conducted the
survey to aid the planning of the
projected Connecticut avenue un-
derpass at Dupont Circle, which
would provide separate tunnels for
street car and vehicular traffic.
Peak hour traffic today is 5000
vehicles, compared with $500 in
1941. During the peak period from
7 until $50 am, the survey showed
that 4,269 cars entered the circle
and during the afternoon peak
period, from to o'clock, 6,304
cars entered.
Greatest Delays, Congestion.
The greatest delays and con-
gestion occurred in the Northwest
section between Connecticut and
Massachusetts avenues and also in
the southeast quadrant between
Connecticut and Massachusetts
avenues. The northeast quadrant
between P street and New Hamp-
shire avenue carried the highest
volume of traffic on the circular
roadway.
THE turning movements of We
hicles on streets close to the circle
area in order to presumably avoid
the circle were frequently observed, u
the report said, adding that no
count was made of the number
seeking to avoid the circle but that
many" used the nearby streets.
The survey found that the peak
hour in the morning was 8:15 to
9:15 and that the greatest rush
was 8:45 to 9 o'clock, while in the
evening the peak hour was S to 6
O'Clock, with Sis to $50 pm. wit
messing the heaviest load. During
the afternoon peak hour, It's per
cent of the vehicles going north
bound on Connecticut avenue left
on the same avenue, and 58 per cent
of the traffic going westbound on
Massachusetts, avenue left the cir
Gle on that avenue.
Drivers Cooperate in Survey.
Lettered cards with serial numbers
for each entrance street were given
drivers as they entered the circle
and surrendered as they left. The
report said that 1892 per cent of
the cards were returned, while in
previous surveys so per cent or less
were returned.
The Commissioners have set June
6 for a public hearing on a traffic
survey made last year by consulting
engineers. 1t called for three sub
ways. including one running under
Dupont Circle, along Connecticut
avenue. The original plans of the
Highway Department were changed
to adopt the subway underpass sug-
gested by the report, providing sep
arate tunnels for street cars and
other traffic. If subways are built,
the proposed underpass could serve
as part of them.

The Federation also urged that
a full medical program, including
psychiatric treatment, be adopted
for the children, and that adequate
and qualified personnel be obtained
for the Districts child care insti.
tutions.
The federation's action, taken or
the eve Of hearings this week by
both the Senate and House to in

dorsed- the report of Mrs. Ernest
w. Howard, member of its Public
Welfare Committee, who described
conditions at the children's institu-
tions as worse than those at the
zoo.
p Calls 1t Desperate Need.
There is a desperate need for
adequate and modern institutions
for the care of our unfortunate
children-children who are unfor-
tunate because of broken homes,
environment, neglect and lack of
religious training" Mrs. Howard
declared in her report following the
committees visit to the District Re-
ceiving Home.
The dilapidated, understaffed and
chaotic conditions in District child
care institutions referred to in the
committees report were discussed
in series of articles last week. in
The Star.
In another action, the federation
indorsed adoption of zoning amend
ments\ permitting construction of
antennae towers in residential areas
for television and frequency modu-
lation broadcastS.
The federation approved the pro-
posed amendments to District zon-
ing regulations which would en-
power the Zoning Commission to
hold hearings to decide where the
towers should be constructed to in
sure the best possible television and
FIN reception.
Would Weigh Property Values.
The Zoning Commission also would
consider property values in the
residential areas involved and other
factors before making its decisions.
the federation was advised. Resi-
dents in these areas would have
the right to appear before the COM
mission to oppose construction of
the towers if they so desired.
In submitting its recommends
tlons, the federation's Zoning Com
mittee, headed by M. Douglas
Clarke, stressed that the downtown
area was not a suitable location for
antennae towers unless they were
several hundred feet high.
In view of the limited number
Of cities in which television stations

| We'll. We Wonder | If ihe Darn
 Thing Worked!

GUAM, June 7.-Here's little item which gives the light side of service in the Pacific.
 The crew of Vice Admiral John McCain's flagship decided recently he needed a better contraption to travel from ship to ship. He's been using a brooches buoy sort of ar rangement.
 The men made up chair out of salvaged parts of carrier plane cockpit. It has foot rests, rear view mirrors and handlebar to grab in a rough sea. The whole affair is painted a shining yellow. There's even a booklet telling how a carrier ticks-which the boss can read while he's teing hauled to the other ship.
 Associated Press Grant MacDon- aid expects to try out the contrap- tion today if there are no more dispatches from Macdonald, you'll know the gadet didn't work.

begins hearings on January 29th.
Already the NAACP and the
Fraternal uncil of Negro
Churches have already stated their
opposition, while representative
Negroes identified with mixed
civic groups have lent their names
to petitions either opposing compul-
sorry military service in peacetime,
or urging postponement in the en-
actment of such legislation until
after the war.
Last week Rep. Clifton A. Wood
rum, D., Va, chairman of the COM
mittee said that he planned to call
Henry L. Stimson, secretary of
war, and James V. Forrestal, secre-
tary of the Navy, almost at the out
set.
This committee is not in a posi-
tion to give direct consideration
to legislation. Nevertheless, its

ed, is not ''in consonance with the
federal constitution" Howard be-
lieves that the success of the at
tempt would almost certainly give
the Republicans representation
from South Carolina, Mississippi,
Louisiana and Alabama.
The proposed advisory commit
tee would serve without pay and
would avoid "one-man rule" He
would staff it with men and wom-
en- "of real ability and standing
whose judgment is worth some
thing in making the study of this
problem" The inference was a
clear reputation of the leadership
given by the Francis Rivers-C. B.
Powell group during the last cam
paign.
Howard said he had not con-
ferred with any other Negro Re-
publicans on his proposals but ex-
pressed confidence they favored
similar recommendations. He was
equally confident that the party
leaders would formulate Gin gen
eral way" ideas on legislation, add
that permanent FEPC would be
suggested to them as an important
item.

SUBMIT COP PROGRAM
TO win NEGRO VOTE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 (ANP)
"A five-point program designed
to recapture for the COP the votes
of Negroes will be laid before the
Republican National Committee
when the group meets in Indian
apolis Saturday to survey the poll
tical scene and map strategy for
the next four years, Perry w.
Howard, committeeman from Miss
issippi, said here.
Howard declared that were it not
for the loss Of this vote, eve would
be inaugurating Dewey instead of
crowning Roosevelt" He felt that
the party was primarily at fault
in not having done more earlier to
ALLEVIATE more Negroes from the
Democratic party.
Howard is going to ask that
100000 be allowed annually for
the next four years by the national
committee with which an educa-
tional campaign might be carried
on among colored voters. Of this
amount he would allocate 100000
to Negro newspapers which he 'des-
cribed as conduit" for such a
campaign. He expressed confidence
in achieving this point since the
committee already is discussing in
formally the possibility of a million
dollar annual budget to wage war
upon the Democratic party.
Howard wants the national com
mittee to appoint an organizer who
will be on full-time basis working
to develop votes among Negroes
He is proposing a full-time publ.
city director, the establishment OF
an advisory committee, and the hir.
ing Of competent Negro clerical as
sistance to make the educationa,
campaign effective.
The final point in his program
would commit the party to work
for a reduction in the number OF
members Of congress from the
south ''where the ballot is not fair
ly used" This condition, he assert.
