Army Clears Up Mystery
OF Bench Wired for Sound

The mystery of the wired-for-
sound park bench in Lafayette Park
is solved.
Hidden wires were discovered by
a passer-by yesterday directly be-
hind a park bench and the wires
were found to lead to the park
police lodge house on H street NV.
Since then. Park Police have had
nothing to say regarding the situ-
alton except mo comment"
Here is the solution:
The Army's Civilian Intelligence
Division had its eye on an Army
officer whom it suspected of per-
version. He frequented a certain
bench In the park. A listening de-
vice was set up by the Army next
to the bench to catch the converse
ton of the offieer and his compan-
ions.
incidentally, the wires were ripAed
out last night and park police hope
that will be the end of wiring the
park for sound.

.Whitehurst Advocates
Highway Construction
Now Despite Costs

Capt. H. c. Whitehurst, District
highway director, believes highway
and bridge construction should go
forward with all speed, despite the
fact prices since 1910 have risen an
average of 10 per cent.
He told the District Advisory
Board of the American Automobile
Association meeting yesterday in
the Mayflower Hotel he sees no
signs of prices falling.
Accordingly, he said. postwar
projects should be carried out or
Washington will face an accumu-
lation of traffic congestion and
"unbearable conditions" for both
private motorists and commercial
interests. ...
Bridge Traffic Sets Record.
Capt. Whitehurst estimated a re-
cent traffic count disclosed an av-
erage of $1,000 vehicles use the
Highway Bridge each weekday, for
an all-time high.
An automobile breakdown on the
bridge brings a mile-long tie-up at
times, he added. The police de-
partment has a crane stationed at
the bridge approach on the WASH
ington side, but sometimes 1t can
not get through to the scene, Capt.
Whitehurst declared.
The District ofncial noted some
citizens advocate that the city's
traffic ills be treated with aspirin
rather than by "operatin.; on the
patient" He let 1t be known he
favors the latter approach.
He said bids for continuation Of

and a contract signed, work will
proceed without delay, he said.

Court Enforcement
OF Racial Covenants
Attacked byU. 5.

Attorney General Clark has told
the Supreme Court that court en-
forcement of racial covenants on
private property are contrary to the
Constitution and the public policy
of the United States"
The Governments views were pre-
sented to the court yesterday in a
petition asking the courts permis-
sion for Justice Department officials
to take part In argument on -four
cases involving residential agree
ments that bar Negroes.
Two of the cases-in which lower
court rulings upheld the covenants
involve property deeds in the Dis
trict. The other two come from
Detroit and st. Louis.
Government Not n Party.
Solicitor General Philip B. Perl
man said that either he or Mr..
Clark would take part In the ar
gument If the court grants per-
mission.
He stressed that the Government
is not a party in any of the suits
but that the arguments will relate
to the right of judicial enforcement
In such cases.
"Such covenants are against pub
lie policy of the United States,
he said. The Justice Department
therefore, will urge the Supreme
Court that the Government should
not use its courts to enforce such
covenants"
The Justice Department petition
said:
THE Supreme Court is called
upon in these cases to decide ques-
tions as to the scope of the Federal
Bill of Rights, as to the application
of laws which Congress has enacted
to implement the Constitution and
as to the proper role of the judiciary
in safeguarding the fundamental
civil rights secured by the Consti-
tuition and laws of the United States
Two Amendments Cited.
'The Government is of the view
that judicial enforcement of racial
restrictive covenants is contrary to
the fifth and fourteenth amend
ments of the Constitution, is in
violation OF specific provisions OF
the Civil Rights Act and is con-
trary to the public policy of the
United States"
Charles E. Copley, clerk of the
Supreme Court, said the four cases
definitely will not be considered In
the November session, and probably
will come up in December or Janu-
ary.
No other cases on restrictive COW
enants have come up for considera-
tion, he said. If they do, they prob
ably will be reviewed at the same
time as the four still to be sched-
uled, he added.
MIR. Copley said the court yester-
day added to its docket case In
which the University of Oklahoma
refused to permit Negro girl tc
enter the university law school
That case probably will be scheduled
for January or February, he added
