Traffic Department
Has New Publication

Trafsic Bulletin, official publication
Of the District Department Of vehi-
cles and Traffic made its first ap-
pearance today.
The leading article Is a message
from George E. Keneipp. director
Of the department, in which he
points out the task OF controlling
traffic becomes increasingly complex
as the city continues to grow.
Through regulation and engi-
neering, we in the department OF
vehicles and traffic are striving to
keep the upper hand" he wrote,
.'We are working closely with other
departments concerned. Further,
we are being aided by the generous
cooperation of our citizens through
civic and business groups.
Traffic is cooperative enter
prise in which all of us have stake
Future traffic control must be
planned with two principal objec-
tives in mind:
II. To weed out the incompetent
driver.
20. To move greater volume Of
traffic than ever before In the city's
history-and move 1t more safely
and more efficiently"
The heads Of the important bu-
reaus Of the department also have
articles in the issue. Inspector
Arthur E. Miller, in charge Of the
police traffic bureau, has an article
on enforcement, In which he says:
There are too many ignorant
people driving automobiles. They
ought to be kept off the streets"

More Broadcasfs Abroad
Urged by Radio Official

Edward r. Murrow, vice presi.
dent of the Columbia Broadcastine
System, believes the United States
should step up its shortwave broad
casts to export" American ideas
abroad.
At the present time, "America's
voice is practically a whisper" he
informed members Of the Advertis.
ing Club of Washington, meeting
yesterday in the Hotel Statler.
Mr.. MurTow noted that Great
Britain, despite great privations al
home, is spending large sums ir
shortwave breadcasts. Russia also
is spending unknown amounts on
such programs, he added.
The former chief of the networks
European service declared that in
Western Europe millions of persons
were watching this country as
though I'VE were in a test tube"
"They are not convinced there Il
any tenacity of purpose in oul
foreign policy and are afraid
we once again may withdraw from
world affairs" he asserted.
Club President Henry j. Kaufman
presided at the meeting.

District VFW Renews Fight
On Building Citizenship

Leaders of the District Depart
ment of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars today renewed their campaign
to bar the use of Building Citizen
ship" as a public school textbook.
With the backing of the Depart
ment Council, Charles S. Sullivan,
jr., chairman of the Un-American
Activities Committee of the District
VFW, filed with the House District
Committee a demand for congress
sional investigation of the books use.
The issue was referred by Chair
man Dirksen of the full District
Committee to its special committee
headed by Representative O'Hara,
Republican, of Minnesota.
Mr.. Sullivan reiterated that his
committee unanimously had found
the book to be 'irreligious, un-Amer-
lean and pro-Communist." The re-
port of his committee, he said, had
been unanimously approved by the
Department Council.
The book has been cleared by the
Board of Education and school off,
cials on two occasions in the past
few months. One investigation was
instituted after Board Member Adel-
bert w. Lee brought similar charges
against the text. The other followed
the VFW accusations.

Work Of Church Lags,
Howard Group Told

Doctors treat more souls than
ministers now because of the decline
of interest in the pastoral work of
counselling, the 31st annual con-
vocation of the school of religion at
Howard University was told today at
the opening session of three-day
meeting.
The speaker, Dr. Russell L. Dicks,
chaplain of Wesley Memorial Hos
pital, blamed this situation on the
fact that too many ministers felt
called to preach rather than work
closely with the people.
Other reasons given by DR.. Dicks
included the fact that people have
changed outlook with less belief in
God; that medicine has advanced
rapidly and left religion behind;
that many ministers are unable to
interpret suffering; and that the
religious schools fail to provide
adequate training for persons enter
ing the ministry.
DR.. Dicks raised a serious doubt
that modern man could survive be-
cause he has failed to master him.
self" He cited high divorce rates
crime and alcoholism as evidence OF
great personal breakdown.
Another speaker, DR.. Arthur L.
Swift, professor at the Union Theo-
logical Seminary in New York City,
stressed the Importance of the SEM
mary changing its training to meet
the times.
DR.. Mordecai w. johnson. presi-
dent of Howard University, will
speak at a dinner at pm. tomorrow

Chinese Reds Capture
OF Town Indicated
BY the Associated Press

PEIPING, Nov. 12-Pro-goVern-
ment reports said today that Chi
nese Communist troops who broke
into 'Shihkiachwang had been largely
"annihilated, but other dispatches
said loss of the strategic rail juno
ton city 172 miles southwest OF
Peiping was taken for granted.
The pro-government advices ad-
mitted the attackers had wrecked a
section of the runway of a make
shift airport inside the city and set
fire to government military estab-
