Traffic Pastzoo
Hopes Parkway Con
Be Extended to Ease
Rush-Hour Problem

Traffic Director George E. Keneipp
would like to see some practical plan
developed for getting traffic through
Rock Creek Park around the Zoo
or under it by means of a tunnel.
He told the Junior Board of Com
merce at its luncheon meeting In the
Annapolis Hotel yesterday he hopes
the Rock Greek and Potomac park
way can be extended to the District
line as means of easing the
Capitals rush-hour traffic problem.
He recalled that one of the objec-
tions to routing the traffic through
the Zoo had been the possible dis
turbing effect on animals.
Traffic Marker Survey or.
Mr.. Keneipp said his department
was undertaking a survey of the
city's $4,000 traffic signs to remove
obsolete markers, to replace those
damaged or missing and, in general,
to reduce the overall number.
He said that, although he has re-
ceived many requests for installa-
ton of additional traffic signal
lights and stop signs, based on the
erroneous belief that a traffic light
or a stop sign is a cure-all," none
would be added unless the intersec-
tions involved met requirements of
a test based on traffic flow and
other factors.
Mr.. Keneipp said check OF 81
intersections, at each of which five
or more accidents had occurred this
year, showed that 48 of them were
equipped either with traffic signals
or stop signs.
Noting that the department had
been able to do little long-range
planning during the war years be-
cause of abnormally low traffic
loads, the traffic director said en-
gineering studies of various trouble
spots now are planned.
Union Station Puzzle.
I sometimes wonder how people
md their way around Union sta
tlon." he commented, adding that
he advoided the intersection of
Fourth street and Florida and
Rhode Island avenues NV, because
he couldn't understand it.
A highly reflective adhesive SUBJ
stance now is being applied to i'm
portant traffic signs and markers,
and a paint containing tiny glass
beads is being used on street lines
to increase their visibility after
dark, he revealed.
Mr.. Keneipp emphasized he was
not engaged in short-term traffic
safety campaign or drive and did
not believe in sporadic enforcement
OF law" but only in a continuing
program.
Remarking that he had seen a
television demonstration, he said he
thought this medium eventually
might prove useful in pointing out
examples of proper and improper
driving to audiences.

 One of the Eskimos sauntered over, to him and said, "Where I come from those are fighting words"
 Things were apparently settled to the satisfaction of all concern ed, as there was no fight
 The two Eskimos were: CD one of the Fred Miller boys (2) one of the Milton Smith sons
 To the newcomers we might suggest, that when in Rome do as the Romans do-keep roam ing and lend only your ears.
 If they were to impute that an Eskimo was a Californian, for instance, a fight might not be averted.

clashes between students and ''mo- torized British army units armed to the teeth"
 ''rhe Egyptian situation is becom- ing more tense," 1t said. "One can judge the impression created by the events in Alexandria upon the en- tire Arab east from the protest in Syria against the continued stay of British troops in Egypt"
 The Russian press and radio re- emphasized Russian differences with Britain and the United States during the weekend with attacks on American policy toward Manchuria, alleged maintenance of "Fascist' armies in the British and American occupation zones of Germany, ale legged American slowness in prose- cutting German capitalists and as- sertions that Britain is trying to keep troops in Egypt.
 Pravda's attack on Churchill was of special interest because 1t came on the first meeting day of the newly elected supreme Soviet in Moscow. Foreign Commissar V. M. Molotov was expected to make 6 foreign policy speech before the group sometime this week.
 The editorial, broadcast by radio Moscow, was an exceptionally out spoken condemnation of one of the original Big Three. It pictured Churchill as a leader 'discredited by history.

 President Sean T. O'Kelly of Fire and Mrs. O'Kelly and Premier and Mrs. Ramon De Valera headed the delegation from the government in the transept of the cross-shaped church.
 Also seated In the transept were U. g. Minister David Gray and Mrs. Gray, representatives of nearly all other foreign embassies and lega- tons in Dublin, former Fire Pre- mier William Cosgrave and an ec- ciesiastical delegation.
 2l4 In Choir
 Fourteen priests and 200 students, headed by their president, Father Thomas O'Donnell, sat in the choir of the church.
 The Cardinals body, clad in his stately Cardinal robes, lay in an oak casket just below the altar in the center of the church.
 The casket rested on plain, bare bench. Atop the casket was his shepherdlike Cardinals hat which had been presented only 15-days before his death on Saturday by Pope Plus XII in a public consistory at Rome. His red biretta hung near by.
 The Cardinals body had been moved to All Hallows College in the center of Dublin last night after lying in state all day Sunday in the great drawing room of the presiden- tiai palace.
 Led by a squadron of Blue Hus- sars-crack Irish cavalry regiment and a battalion of regular Irish In- fantry, the cortege moved slowly through mourning crowds which lined the Six-mile route from the palace to the college.
 The first of the series of Masses for Cardinal Grennon was offered at ' a. m. in the Chapel by members of the faculty and student body of the college which Glennon attended SO odd years ago.
 All Hallows is the largest semin- ary in Dublin. The Chapel is at- tached to the l8th-Century main hall in which Irish Rebel Lord Ed- ward Fitzgerald once lived.
 The Cardinals casket will be taken from the chapel at 2:30 p. m. to begin the 50 mile journey to his native County Meath in whose Mul- lingar Cathedral, Bishop John D'Al- ton will say a public requiem high Mass Wednesday.

 It accused Churchill of masking his real feelings against Commun- ism throughout the war and hiding intentions and plans which 7 are hostile to the Soviet Union."
 While radio Moscow was slam- ming at Churchill, Q United Press dispatch reported the unexpected and unexplained postponement of the opening of the supreme Soviet meeting in Moscow from today un- til 5 D. m. Tuesday.
 The Russian denunciation of Churchill contained more fury and invectiye than any Moscow pros nouncement about a major world figure except Adolf Hitler. The editorial was broadcast three times.

Brass Faces
 New Strike

Continued from Page D strike vote yesterday gave unani- nous support to International Rep- resentative Alex Cashin, formerly of Waterbury, and the negotiating committee.
 The Bridgeport agreement last month was criticized by local leaders of the Mine, Mill & Shelter Work CTS. It was disapproved by the unions executive board, but the Bridgeport membership at that time refused to allow international offl- cers to address a meeting.
 The strike vote yesterday was taken after the management has postponed a conference scheduled to have been held with the negotiating committee last Friday.
 Seeks Price Relief
 The company, in an announce Tsnent to workers, said 1t is still seek ing price relief from the OPA, add ing that "the delay is something beyond our control"
 Mfr. Mankowski hailed the Bristol settlement and said he hoped 1t will pave the way for early agreements to end the current brass strikes in Waterbury. The Bristol local yester- day approved the agreement, as did the general brass strike strategy committee. MT. Mankowski said the union did not insist on retroac- tive clause because the dispute was settled without the union having to take recourse to strike.
 (By United Press)
 Connecticut began a new week to- day with the situation along the strike front somewhat improved.
 A wage increase of IS l-2 cents an hour was given 300 employees of the Heppenstall Co, at Bridgeport, who are members of the CLIO. Steel Workers.
 The more than 300 A.FL. Interna. tional Association of Machinists members at the Pratt and Whitney division of United Aircraft Corp, East Hartford, voted Sunday to table a company proposal for Q IS per cent wage boost until next Sun- day 90 employees could determine how much their earnings would be affected under a new job classiflca- tion schedule.

NOVnbh1uGQ 1EOtn GAbS U tisan start with left wing tendencies.
 But though the committee is sub- stantially a left wing organization, 1t is not, as Rep. John E. Rankin, D, Miss, charged on the House floor last week, a Communist out fit. There are some Communist sympathizers in 1t. But Ickes' com mittee basically is 0 New Deal percentage.
 'The 1046 elections are approach ing" Iskes announcement said. "The members of the Independent Citizens Committee are watching their representatives in Congress. All the facilities of this organiza- ton will be available for the elec- ton and reelection of aggressive, qualified progressives and for the defeat of tiimid, controlled or reac- tionary obStructionists." a
 Warned Truman
 Speculation regarding Ickes' poli- ical plans has continued since his resignation last month from the cabinet. He quit with Q warning to President Truman against the pit- falls which caught the late Warren c. Harding after World War I. The immediate difficulty between 1ckes and the White House was the Sec retary's attack on the nomination of Edwin w. Pauley to be Undersec- retary of Navy.
 The organization of 10000 900 independent voters is big order, even though the committee plans to do but part of the job, but prac- tical politicians will follow 1ckes' plans closely. The old curmudgeon has 8 following. Next to the late President Roosevelt, there probably was no man in Washington more influential among some group or voters than IckeS. No one ever con- tended that IckeS ever could be elected to anything, himself. But there are many white and Negro voters in all the major industrial states whose choice among other candidates might be affected by Ickes' advice.
 With Ickes, unquestioned influ. ence among Negro voters in mind, 1t is significant that some notable Negro artists and authors are on his committees National Board of Directors or are vice-chairmen. Among them are Duke Ellington, band leader, Hazel Scott, pianist, Langston Hughes, author, and Paul Robeson, singer.
 Others among Ickes' associates in directing the committee are: Col. Evans F. Carlson (Carlson's raiders) Joseph W. Davies, former ambas- sador to Moscow; former Mayor Fiorello F. LaGuardia of New York; Frank Sinatra, and Bill Mauldin, G. I. cartoonist.
 10 Davidson, 8 sculptor, is the nominal head of the committee as National Chairman. But Ickes will run 1t. The first public function with which Ickes' committee will be associated probably will be a win. the-peace conference Idea where Davidson, who heads Iekes' c0n- mltee, Julius Emspak, treasurer Of CI.O. union, and Bartley Crum, Viee-pFesldent of the National Law yeFs' Guild.
