fringe Parking Lots
Handle 1873 Cars
Over 5-Week Period

A total of 1898 motorists have
parked their cars on the two fringe"
parking lots in the five weeks since
they were opened.
This was announced last night
by w. T. Vanaman, assistant direc-
tor of the Motor Vehicle Parking
Agency.
Last week, he said, 1,435 cars were
parked on the Municipal Center
parking lot at Constitution avenue
and Third street NV. The total
for the Kass-Heurich lot, Twenty
fifth and E streets NV, was 259
The total for both lots, 1894, was
approximately the same as for the
preceding week when the total was
1,700.
A shuttle busline connects the
two parking lots with downtown
Washington, making 1t easy for
shoppers to park and reach the
stores and easing traffic congestion.
Mr.. Vanaman said the fact the
Kass- -Heurich lot Is not on a main
traffic artery accounts in part for
its lesser patronage. He said ad-
vertising of the convenience of the
lots will call attention specifically
to the Kass-H -Heurich location.
OF the 1928 total number Of cars
parked in the five-week period
the Municipal Center lot has ac-
counted for 6,5l7 and the Kass-
Heurich lot for 1906

6a|Iinger Staff Studies
Fo|Iow-Up Service
For Former Patients

Follow-up service for patients who
have been discharged from Gallinger
Hospital is beipg planned by the
District Health Department, it was
announced yesterday.
The plan, which is being studied
by DR.. Joseph r. Fazehas. chief
medical officer at the hospital, under
instructions of Health Officer George
C. Rutland, would shorten the stay
of patients at the hospital and make
it unnecessary for many of them
from returning. This would result
in a substantial saving Of money for
the Health Department, DR.. Ruh-
land believes.
After discharge from the hospi-
tai, the patients would be referred
to outpatient clinics where their case
histories would be maintained. A
resident physician Of the hospital
would be sent to the clinic on days
when former patients were to report
In this manner, DR.. Rutland be-
lieves, there would be no need for
exhaustive examination of such
patients because their cases would
be known to the physician.
Dr.. Rutland said the plan has
worked satisfactorily in Syracuse,
N. Y, where he was stationed for
merly. The plan would be useful,
he said, in the cases of chronically
ill. persons, who could be treated as
well in an out-patient clinic as in
IA hospital ward and at the least
cost to the community. Part of
the program will be to see that
patients after discharge do not en-
gage in work that probably caused
their disqualification in the first
place, DR.. Ruhland said.

In Montgomery

States Rights Democratic sup
porters in Montgomery County will
have a place to write in" the names
of Cows. Thurmond and Wright on
county voting machines in the gen.
eral election November 2.
Special "slots" are provided for
write-in votes at top of the ma
chimes, according to Ward w. Cad
dington, clerk of the Board of Elec-
ton Supervisors.
He explained that a roll of paper
is behind each slot. When the voter
lifts the slide covering the slot, he
locks the levers above the names of
other candidates so that he cannot
vote for more than one candidate
for q particular Office.
After writing the name of his
candidate on the paper, the voter
moves the lever which opens the
curtains of the voting booth. This
shifts the roll of paper one space
and replaces the slide over the slot.

keneipp Offers Plans
For Altering Methods
OF Revocation Board

Traffic Director George E. Ke-
neipp and Engineer Commissioner
Gordon r. Young have informally
discussed plans for revising pro-
cedures 'of the Board of Revocation
and Restoration Of drivers permits
and the commissioners probably
will act on the proposals at an
early date, it was learned last night.
Asked If the Keneipp proposals
would call for transfer of jurisdic-
ton over the board from one Dis
trict agency to another, Gen Young
replied:
mo. I have not received any
proposal that would take control
OF the board from one department
and repose it in another"
Reports Are Cited.
The question was prompted by
rumors at the District Building and
Municipal Center that a reorgani-
zation of the boards jurisdiction
and procedures is under study. The
board, headed by Mrs. Mary Silver,
is grouped within <Mr. Keneipp's
Vehicles and Traffic Department
but is responsible to Commissioner
John Russell Young. Mr.. Keneipp's
department is under Gen. Young.
1t is reported that Mr.. Keneipp
has discussed his proposals with
both Police Supt. Robert j. Barrett
and Chatham T. Nottingham. super
of licenses - both also
subordinates of Mr.. Young. It also
Is known that any shift of author
ity over the board would be op-
posed by Mr.. Young and his staff.
At present, traffic law violations
may appeal loss of their drivers
license to Mrs. Silver's board with
a final appeal available to Mr..
Young. Traffic regulations, under
the present setup, originate in Mr..
Keneipp's organization but enforce
ment of the regulations is a police
department function. Persons con-
victed of more serious traffic law
violations also are subject to per-
NIT suspension or revocation by
Mrs. Silver's board.
Change Is Opposed.
Mrs. Silver also is opposed to any
move that would decrease the au-
thority of her board.
One report has it that the
Keneipp plan calls for removing the
boards jurisdiction over hackers
composed of a police officer, al
licenses to another board. to be
license official and an Assistant
Corporation counsel.
Mr.. Keneipp himself has refused
10 comment on his plans.
