May Postpone First Home Football
Game Because Of Muddy Local Field
Coach SuYs AZ Hours
OF Sunshine Needed
To Dry Mire

The Hardin Bulldogs may
have to postpone their first
football game of the season,
which was scheduled for the
local field, because the rains
of the past few days have
made a quagmire of the local
playing grounds, Coach Hugh
Gotham said Wednesday.
At that time, 48 hours of dry
weather, with sunshine all day
long Thursday and Friday
morning, were essential. Prac-
tice sessions this week have
been limited to the work that
could be done in the high
school gym.
If the game is played, Cot
tam said, students will do a
snake dance on downtown
streets shortly after noon Fri
day.
Original plans called for the
kickoff at 2 p. m. with Mike
Henry of Forsyth, liver Twilde
of Billings and Hollis M
Johnson as officials.
Columbus, which will oppose
the Bulldogs if the game is
played, has had one contest
this year, with Worden. The
score was Worden 10 and Co.
lumbus O. Worden, however, is
reputed to have one of the
strongest Class "B" teams in
this territory.
The probable Hardin starting
lineup will include Bob Saund-
ers, quarterback; Sam Ragland
and Hammer, halfbacks; OFT,
fullback; Sturzenegger and
Grossman, ends; Vaughn and
Davis, tackles; Scally and Saw
yer, guards, and Newark, CEN
ter.

OverhoIser Says
From YESTERDAYS Late Editions

,(From Yesterdays Late EditionSJ
Vigorous exception to statistics
showing Washington with the high
est insanity rate in the Nation, was
taken today before the Ciyitan Club
luncheon in the Mayflower Hotel by
DR.. Winfred Overholser, superin-
tendent of st. Elizabeth's Hospital
He read a clipping from the Chi
cago Tribune, based on Census Bur-
eau figures.
The article said the District of
Columbia had the greatest propor-
tion of its population in mental in
stitutions-816 per 100000 popula-
tion. New York State was second
with 6O2 per 100, 900. The article in
timated that all the crazy people
here were not in institutions.
Il strongly suspect" said DR..
Overholser that these figures were
based on the total number of pa
tients in st. Elizabeth's in 1945-not
those from the District. The war
sent us many patients from the mil
itary services. In 1945 we had a
total of 7,400 patients. Only 1900
of these came from the District.
The prewar ratio in Washington
was SAT per 100000 population"
He then mimicked Lew Lehr by
saying: Washington people are not
the cwaziest in the country"

Mr.. Van Voorhis, addressing the

Keneipp Says District
Still Unable 10 Cope
With Tipsy Drivers

Despite a record number of permit
Suspensions during September, the
District still is unable to cope effec-
lively with the drunken driver and
the speeder from outside Washing
ton. according to Traffic Director
George E. Keneipp.
Speaking at a meeting of the
George Washington University Med
ical Society in the Hotel Statler yes
terday, Mr.. Keneipp revealed that a
new high of 478 suspensions Of driy-
er,s licenses for speeding In excess
of 80 miles per hour was recorded
during the month.
He pointed out that. of 1,100 sus-
pensions in September, TIA were for
|offenses by other than District mo-
torists.
Mr.. Keneipp said inability to take
away permits from such drivers
made the suspensions relatively In
effective.
Calls for Jail Terms.
With respect to drunken drivers,
he said he thought more Of them
should be sent to Jail rather than
fined.
Let a man sit in Jail for few
days and he'll begin. to realize that
|he has committed serious offenSe
against the public, 'si1e commented.
Repeating his plea for scientific
tests for drunken driving, Mr.. Ke-
neipp said:
Il think we should try to persuade
Congress to give us this legislation
at the earliest possible moment"
He added that police compiled 173
drunken driving cases through Au-
gust 81 this year as against 103 dur
ing the first nine months of 1s45.
Points to Parking Problem.
Principal problems of traffic en-
cheering here still are the made
quacy of of street parking facilities
and contributions of streetcar traffic
to congestion at certain points, he
told the group.
Mr.. Keneipp indorsed plans to
place the streetcars underground
'for short stretches" on various
downtown routes. He emphasized he
was not calling for early construc-
ton of complete sub-surface rapid
transit system.
Among proposals under study by
his department is plan for more
rigid examination Of prospective
truck, bus and taxicab drivers than
for permit applicants seeking to
drive ordinary passenger cars.

gram of landlord-tenant jury trials
was well under way today. with II
Of the first 13 cases on the special
October calendar for two auxiliary
jury courts having been disposed OF
yesterday.
Judges of the Municipal Court OF
Appeals are sitting in the lower
court this month in an emergency
move to cut down backlog of some
900 civil jury cases, more than zoe
of which are landlord tenant mat
tiers.
A panel of so jurors was selected
yesterday to sit in two additional
full-time jury courts being con-
Quoted this month by Associate
Judges Brice Clagett of the Appeals
Court and Thomas Dewey Quinn OF
Municipal Court.
Judge Clagett stressed at a meet
ing of lawyers with cases on the
special jury calendar, that there
will be no effort to rush cases
through.
1--WE want reasonable speed" he
said, but we do not expect undue
haste. We are not going to run on
bargain day basis for anybody"
It was suggested that attorneys
attempt to work out settlements be-
tween their clients whenever pos
sible. In order that cases which
have been settled without trial may
be disposed of in time for attorneys
to keep appointments in other
courts, it was decided to convene
the two special courts at am
rather than $50, beginning today.
The judges announced that Chief
Justice Bolitha j. Laws of District
Court had promised cooperation
with the program. The attorneys
were instructed to notify the Dis
trict Court assignment commits
sioner when assignments in that
court conflicted with those in the
special jury courts, so that ad-
justments might be worked out.
