New Stop Light Will Be Given
Fair Test City Officials Say

The District plans to give a
fair test" to its controversial new
traffic light at Fourteenth and D
streets S.W., before deciding
whether to make it permanent,
Assistant Engineer Commissioner
c. H. Whitesell revealed today.
But city officials feel the light
definitely hasn't been proved bad
yet, despite the surge of protests
it has drawn from Virginia rush.

the first District traffic light,

A word on the other side came
at the same time, however, from
the police captain whose men
have been on rush-hour duty at
the new light trying to accelerate
traffic.
Capt. Irwin H. limbaugh of No.

if they would get rid of it," he
declared. He predicted slow

are removed, and he suggested
that need for the light might be
eliminated by diverting present
southbound left-turn traffic.
The police captain added, how
ever, that he did not plan to press
his view and said the new light
should have a fair trial"
Three policemen-two privates
and a corporal-were busy direct
ing motorists past the light from
8 am. through the height of the
rush this morning. A single po-
liceman was on duty there from Z
to 8. They are expected to con-
tinue working there at rush hours
at least until next week.

Davis Aims 10 Create
District Council for
Law Enforcement

The creation of a District Coun-
Gil for Law Enforcement as a per-
manent body is the objective of
Chairman Davis of the House
District Crime Committee, he said
today.
Mr.. Davis said he will seek a
time convenient for all the law
enforcement agencies concerned to
get together. But he added that
this organization meeting will be
held in the very near future. Pre-
liminary meetings already have
been held.
Representative Davis, Democrat,
of Georgia, declared that every
group and agency concerned with
law enforcement should be repre-
sented on the new council. This
would include not only officials but
the Washington Criminal Justice
Association and the District Bar
ASSOCIATION.
On the new organization would
be the judges of all the Federal
courts here, as we'll as the NUM-
cipal and Juvenile Courts, the
corporation counsel, the United
States attorney, representatives Of
the Police Department and proba-
ton Office and every other branch
of law enforcement.
Chairman Davis said the council
members should be constantly in
touch with each other. The Or
ganization would meet two or
three times year.
Every agency concerned has in
dorsed such a program, Chair
man Davis said.

Public Health
Workers 10 Get
DefenseCourse
District Employees to Go
To Glasses on Effects
Of Atomic Warfare

Professional workers in the
District Health Department will
attend the District Medical So
ciety's atomic defense courses, it
was disclosed today.
The Commissioner authorized
the staff members to attend ses-
SionS without loss of annual leave
where they could be spared.
DR.. Daniel L. Seckinger, direc-
tor of public health, said he had
received letter from DR.. w. D.
Claudy, chairman of the society's
Committee on Medical Education
for Atomic Defense, describing the
courses to present a working
knowledge of the effects of atomic
warfare.
Courses Begin September 22.
The course will be given Sep
TENDER %. 26 and 20 for a total
of IL hours in the Interior De-
partment auditorium.
The city heads approved an
opinion of Budget Officer Walter
L. Fowler expressing no objection
to the excusing of workers.
Those who cannot be spared
during the day, he pointed out,
can attend the course being given
on the same dates in the evening.
Meanwhile, civil defense officials
said, women, as well as men, will
be eligible for the Metropolitan
Police Department Reserve Corps.
which will include units for all
branches of the Police Depart
ment.
PilkertOn Named.
Capt. Francis G. Pilkerton has
been designated administrative
officer of the reserve corps. The
order officially starting the pro-
gram is being drafted.
Women recruits will work pri-
marily with the women's bureau.
but it is hoped that others can
be attached to the administrative
headquarters unit for help in
clerical, telephone and teletype
work.
Inspector John E. Fondahl, act
ing civil defense director. said he
had not talked to Capt. Rheda
Milliken of the Women's Bureau
about details of the women's unit.

Applicants for the corps must
be between 81 and SIS years of
age. The minimum height for
men is 512 feet, and for women,
feet.

caused delays of up to half an
hour.
No tieup of impressive dimen-
sions was observed this morning
during the height of the rush.
Maximum travel time clicked by
traffic officials between the Vir-
ginia end of the bridge and the
new light was 5 minutes and IL
seconds.
Prior to change in the signals
timing Tuesday night, the police
men found it necessary to ignore
the light at times and wave traf-
f1c through. Since the change.
however, this has not been neces-
sary and the officers have re-
stricted themselves to anticipating
the signal changes and getting
the cars to move promptly, Capt.
limbaugh said.
Maine Avenue Congested.
In general traffic today seemed
to move somewhat faster than
yesterday. One new factor ap-
peared in the picture, however.
Police theorized that numerous
motorists were turning off onto
Maine avenue in order to avoid
the light. This was indicated by
unusual congestion on Maine ave-
nue. itself and long line which
occasionally backed up toward the
bridge on the Maine avenue exit
ramp.
One policeman estimated the
traffic on Maine avenue, east
bound, as three times above nor
NAL. At times all three lanes were
backed up from Twelfth street to
the bridge, a distance of two
blocks.
Deputy Traffic Director Wallace
Braun discounted this, however,
declaring that when he observed
it Maine avenue appeared about
normal for the rush hour.
Col. Whitesell, who lives in Fair
lington and uses the Fourteenth
street bridge every day himself
said he felt critics of the new light
had Jumped to a conclusion" too
soon, and that it deserved test
of a week or 10 days. 1t will take
about that time to educate
motorists to the new system, he
pointed out.

City Heads OK
Plan 10 Extend
n. Capitol Street
Stretch Would Pass
Through Stadium Site
Of Catholic School

The Commissioners today ap-
proved a proposal to extend North
Capitol street, which would take
the thoroughfare through the
stadium site of the new Carroll
High School in northeast Wash
ington.
The city heads will forward to
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission the plans
to extend the street from Michi-
gan avenue across the Soldiers
Home property to Claremont
drive, on the north.
The stretch is approximately a
mile long.
Hits Stadium Site.
The fact that the street extern
sion would interfere with the
school stadium was brought to
the attention of the Commits
sioners by Representatives of the
Catholic Archdiocese at a public
hearing August %.
The school is being built on
property adjoining the national
cemetery at Soldiers Home and
Fort drive and Half place NE.
The northern section of the pro-
posed roadway would cut through
the stadium site.
w. B. Jones, attorney for the
archdiocese, said the archdiocese
was not protesting the location of
the road if it is believed by the
District to be proper one.
Wants No Loss.
He said, however, that the arch
diocese wants assurance that it
would not have to suffer a finan-
cial loss through relocating the
stadium.
Work on the stadium site al
ready has begun, Mr.. Jones pointed
out. The decision as to whether
the work will be continued at the
present site or the stadium moved
to a new site will have to come
from the archdiocese, he added.
AS the news of the Commits
sioners' action reached the arch
diocese only today, no word was
forthcoming as to what action
would be taken.
100000 Cost Seen.
He told the hearing there is
enough land available for placing
the stadium on another site, but
estimated that the move would
cost possibly up to 100000 be-
cause extensive fill would be re-
Quired.
He pointed out that the school,
to cost $1,750,000, was half fin
1shed, and that the stadium site
had been 1eveled and graded at
cost of $4,000. y
Opening date of the school is
scheduled for September /, 1851.
Law Cited.
The Commissioners were in
formed by Assistant Corporation
Counsel Irving Bryan that the Dis
trict can take land for highway
purposes only by condemnation,
and no agreement could be entered
into by the District.
Mr.. Jones pointed out that even
If condemnation proceedings were
undertaken, the District might
abandon the project and leave the
archdiocese burdened with the eX-
pense of moving the stadium.
Among those appearing at the
hearing was House Majority Lead
er Mccormack, who asked that
the Commissioners consider the
plea that the archdiocese not be
subjected to a financial loss.

D. {. Budget Requests
For 1852 Expected
To Set New Record
By Horriet Griffiths

District department heads esti-
mates of their 1852 fiscal year
budget needs are expected to
reach the highest total in the
city's history.
The requests, which will be
released by the Commissioners,
beginning Monday, will jump we'll
over The $3.50 million mark,
according to present indications.
The highest total so far was
set by the 1949 fiscal need
estimates, which amounted to
$143, 1856 900.
The 1851 requests added up to
$138, 1884, 400.
Not Told to Hold Down.
The Commissioners issued no
instructions TO the department
heads this year to hold down"
in preparing proposed budgets,
And while the total figure pres
emily remains secret, indications
are that District officials have
outdone themselves.
What they have asked, however,
is no accurate measure of what
they will get. The budget re-
quests annually are subjected to
a pairing down by the Commits
sioners, after a public hearing,
and further trimming by Con-
greSs.
The Commissioners will begin
their annual hearings on the
hearings on the budget requests
with the department officials con-
cerned Tuesday in the Office of
Budget Officer Walter L. Fowler.
OF the $138, 984,4OO requested
for the present fiscal year, $118,-
049, 256 was approved in the sup
ply bill signed by the President.
That was a record District ap-
preparation bill, and about 81 mil
lion less than the Commissioners
had requested.
81 Million Surplus Seen.
Spending of the money pro-
vided in the regular appropria-
ton bill and in various supple
mental appropriations is expected
to leave the District with a sur
plus of about ST million when the
next fiscal year begins on July l.,
1851.
The budget Office has given no
figure on revenue availability for
next fiscal year, but it could be
expected to be roughly about $25
million less than the amount re-
quested for 1852 by the depart
ment heads.
In addition, budget officials
have stressed that many capital
OUTLAWS were authorized to get
started this fiscal year which
probably will require larger ap-
preparations next year.
Construction Tagging.
The city still has not caught
up with it's construction needs
which have built up since World
War II restrictions. What effect
the present international situa-
ton may have on this phase of
the Districts spending is uncer-
tain.
In any event, the department
heads are expected to include in
their fund requests money to start
some of their long-held-up con-
struction needs.
Big items of capital outlay in
prospect include building of the
new East Capitol Street Bridge, an
extension to connect with the new
Washington altimore parkway
more work on the sewage-treat-
ment plant and on the Piney
Branch sewer, city hospital expan-
sions, additional building at the
Home for the Aged and Inf1rm and
schools.
In addition, the city has been
authorized to borrow up to $23
million over a period of years
for a major expansion of the
water supply system.

Senate Passes 5 D. T.
Bills, Blocks 8 as
Adjournment Nears
By Don S. Worren

Five District bills cleared the
Senate hurdle late yesterday in
the last call of the body's con-
sent calendar before the contem-
plated Saturday adjournment.
Eight other measures were
blocked and are presumed dead
for this Congress.
Two of the approved measures
are bills dealing with old George
town that had been blocked in
the Senate.
One of these now goes to Presi-
dent Truman for signature. It
would set up strict new require
ments for building or rebuilding
structures in old GEORGETOWN. in
order to preserve It's historic char
acter.
The other would direct Gov
eminent acquisition Of the Old
Stone House at 1851 NJ street
NV. to be preserved as an ex-
ample of 18th century architec-
ture. Because of an amendment
made by the Senate, this meas
ure goes back to the House.
The Senate also passed in
amended form, a House bill to
authorize $4,000 to install food
lights and other Improvements at
the Eastern High School stadium;
to grant tax exemption to the
property of the YMCA and to per-
NIT an exchange of parcels of
land between the Government and
the New Temple Committee, Inc,
that would facilitate a temple
project on Macomb street NV.
between Thirty ninth street ar%
Massachusetts avenue.
Enactment of these measures
depends on House action.
The Old Stone House bill, as
passed by the House, contained
a limitation of $4,000 on the
amount that could be paid for
the property. The Senate knocked
this out.
The Eastern High stadium
ight-lighting project was ap-
proved by the House and Senate,
in somewhat different forms, over
the objections of the District
Commissioners. The city heads
said it would give ,legislatively
priority to this project, possibly
to the jeopardy of plans in the
next fiscal year for building a
stadium for Coolidge High. Each
project. they argued, should be
considered on it's own merits in
the 1852 budget.
Bills blocked in the Senate yes
terday included those:
To establish a commission on
human rights to work for elini-
nation of race discrimination; to
liberalize the District unemploy-
ment compensation law to raise
maximum jobless benefit payments
from $40 for 20 weeks to $33 for
Is weeks.
Also to extend the minimum
wage law to cover men as well as
women and minors; to license and
regulate optometristS as members
of a profession; to amend the
barber registration law to require
the posting of BARRIERS prices and
make other changes.
Also to authorize certain high
school students to be given avia-
ton flight experience; to author
ize the District Commissioners
to have the starlings killed and
to authorize an increase from
$500 to $1,000 in the amount that
may be charged against an es-
tate for funeral expenses.
In another action, the Senate
gave approval to a House joint
resolution authorizing the Ma
tional Grange to erect in Wash
ington a marker in commemora-
ton of the founding of the agri-
cultural body.
