To Clarity African Policy

A more specific American policy
on Africa, based on sound principles
of justice, law and charity, was
urged today by the African subcom-
mittee of the Catholic Association

Asserting that the responsibility
Of the United States toward depend

new phase because of membership
on the United Nations Trusteeship
Council, the statement declares ut

to make certain Africa does not

Africa as a potential area for fur

0H-Sireet PARKING
Called Major Traffic
Problem by keneipp

Off-street parking and safety edu-
cation are the principal traffic prob
lens Of Washington, George E.
Keneipp director of traffic and
vehicles, yesterday told the Com
missioners' Trafiic Council and the
Inter- Industry Safety Committee.
The meeting was held to learn
what the Inter-Industry Committee
could do to help the traffic situa-
tion in Washington. The commit
tee is composed of representatives
Of the rubber, automobile and
petroleum In this area and is part
Of Nationwide organization.
Mr.. Keneipp stressed four major
issues In traf1lc control here: Driv-
er training, trafi1c enforcement, ade-
uuate streets and highways, and
adequate parking facilities.
Mr.. Keneipp pointed out that
school officials believe driver train
ing should not be regarded as part
Of the school program, but should
be taught outside the school, like
piano lessons. He asked the meeting
to join in a campaign of education
to convince the parents and school
ofncials that driver training should
be part OF the school program in
every senior high school.
In the matter of of street park
ing, he said. there is a need of facili-
ties for 12,500 cars in the business
section, which can be met only by
private interests. He said buses and
mercantile establishments should
provide of Street facilities for their
truck and buses. He said this prob
ably was the No. / trafiic problem
in Washington.
A bottleneck to traffic will be in
prospect in the near fuaure, he said
when Dupont Circle will be closed
to traffic during the building of the
proposed underpass under the cir
Gle. The traffic department is con-
Quoting q study to handle the traf-
fc there, which will involve making
many streets in the vicinity one way
Printing Of posters and circulation
Of leaflets was proposed and the
Industry Committee plans to meet
soon to see how they can help in
this connection. A. Julian Brylaw-
ski, chairman of the Committee on
Education and Information of the
Commissioners Traffic Council, who
presided at the meeting, said indus
try could help by donating money
to help educate the people of Wash
tngtOn, because his committee was
practically without funds
