Keneipp 10 Turn Off
Controversial Light
Near Highway Span
Will Study Traffic
In Nall Area With
Signal Not Working

The controversial stoplight at
Fourteenth and D streets S.W.
was ordered turned of today by
the District Commissioners while
further traffic studies in the area
are carried out.
The Commissioners order fol-
lowed a request from Traffic Di-
rector George E. Keneipp for a
30-to-6o day period without the
light to review traffic conditions
in the Mall area. The light, which
has affected thousands of Virginia
commuters over the new Highway
Bridge since its installation Sep
tember z will be turned of tomor-
row after the morning rush hour.
Mr.. Keneipp's recommendation
reversed his previous stand on the
bottleneck. which has drawn fire
from the public from the begin
ming. After a preliminary study
last month the traffic director pre-
dicted that there would be mo ap-
preciable improvement on the
traffic flow on Fourteenth street If
the signals were turned off,"
Studies Warranted Light.
In his latest report, Mr.. Keneipp
observed that the light was in
stalled after studies revealed that
conditions at the intersection fully
justified the installation under
traffic signal standards being fol-
lowed in the District.
Later, he said, "the signals had
served to focus attention on other
traffic conditions in the Mall
area, affecting the flow of traffic
on Fourteenth street" It was in
this report that MIR. Keneipp
pointed to the necessity of speed
ing up traffic on the approaches
and exits to the new bridge.
Third Phase Called For.
His recommendation continued: !:
In view of the unusual discus
sion which the installation of
these signals has aroused, we feel,
in all fairness, that a third phase
of the study involving traffic con-
ditions in the entire area, while
the signals are not in operation,
should be undertaken at this
time"
The signals were installed pri-
marily to permit cars southbound
|on Fourteenth street to make q
left turn against the traffic flow
onto D street, and to permit pc
destrians to cross the intersection
safely. While the light is turned
off. cars will be permitted to make
left turns at both C and D streets
but without the benefit of spe-
cial signal.
AS for pedestrians, Mr.. Keneipp
declared those desiring to cross
Fourteenth street will find pro-
lection one block north at c
street, and we hope to have their
cooperation to the extent that
foot-crossings will not be at
tempted at Fourteenth and q
streets"
The final verdict on whether
or not the light will continue in
operation will be handed down
by the Commissioners after the
traffic director has completed his
study and submitted his recon-
mendations.

U. 5. TurnsD Down
Free Dollar Aid
forearm Britain
Insists 1t Will Help
Only to Buy Row
Material, Equipment
By John Seoli
Assoeiated Press Sfoff Writer

The United States, turning down
a British request for "free dollar"
aid to hasten her rearmament, is
insisting that American help for
the present will be granted only to
buy raw materials and equipment.
The British had requested they
be allowed to use American dollars
for whatever purpose they desired
as long as their military produc-
ton was increased according to
the plan they have drafted.
Rejection of the request was re-
ported by informed officials as
Hugh Gaitskell, British Minister
of Economic Affairs, arrived in
this country for general financing
talks with Secretary of the Treas
ury Snyder.
ALLEGATION of Dollars.
These officials said the State
Department has informed the
British government that Ameri-
can dollars will be allocated, for
the time being. only for purchases
of raw materials and equipment
specifically needed to boost mill
tary output.
British officials said Mr.. Gait
skell's arrival has no connection
with the rearmament talks now
going on. The trip is his first to
the United States, they said. and
his main purpose is to "get &C
quainted" with top-ranking Amer
lean financial and economic lead
erS.
Before an afternoon meeting
with Mr.. Snyder, Mr.. Gaitskell
had appointments with Camille
Gutt, director of the Internation-
al Monetary Fund, which regu-
lates world currencies, and with
Eugene Black, president of the
World Bank.
To See Hartman.
His busy round also called for
meetings with James Webb. Under
secretary of State, later today
and again tomorrow. Tomorrow's
schedule also included talk with
Averell Hartman, President Tru-
mans special adviser on foreign
affairs.
When he arrived in New York
yesterday. Mr.. Gaitskell denied
reports that revaluation of the
pound would come up for discus
sion. He told newsmen There's
no intention to revaiue the
| pound"
British government spokesmen
have denied that any action to in
crease the value of the pound is
contemplated. Britain devalued
the pound from $4.03 to $3.50 on
September Is. 1949.
The British cabinet minister ID
reported ready to back his govern
ment's request for SIS billion in
"free aid" over the next three
years.
Not Rejected Outright.
The United States, officials said,
believes that sum cannot be justi-
fed by the results that can be
expected from the British rearma-
ment program. But the American
note which was sent to the British
Embassy over the week end does
not reject outright the British re-
quest for this amount.

By Joseph A. Fox

President Truman is scheduled
to make major foreign policy
speech in New York this month, it

eral Assembly.
Further presidential campaign
plans probably will be shaped def
initely this week when the Presi-
dent has an opportunity to talk
with advisers for the first time
since his eight-day vacation in
nearby waters.
The Korean war caused Mr..
Truman to drop another projected
whistle-stop tour, but Senator
Anderson, New Mexico, executive
vice chairman of the Democratic
National Committee. is hopeful
that the President will make sew
eral frankly political talks.
Decision up to Truman.
The President will have to de-
eide whether to go along with Mr..
Anderson's views, or keep his
speaking on a non-partisan basis.

large vote and support for can

of talk that he delivered on the

Day observance.
The President already has made
some recordings for committee
broadcasts. One-minute "spot"
announcements by the President
and cabinet members which are

every qualified voter to go to the

The President had a 1ate-after-
noon conference scheduled with
Thomas C. Hennings, jr., of st.
Louis, Missouri's senatorial candi-
date who is here to discuss plans
with the National Committee and
Mr.. Truman.
While the President supported
State Senator Emory Allison, Mr..
Hennings' primary opponent, he
has announced his backing for
Mr.. Hennings.

Refuses to Review
Decision Made by
Appeals Tribunal
By Robert K. Welsh

The Supreme Court today held,
in effect. that the University of
Maryland must provide nursing
school facilities for colored girl.
The tribunal refused to review a
decision earlier this year by the
Maryland Court of Appeals which
upheld Miss Esther McCready of
Baltimore, in her fight to enter
the university's school of nursing.
The McCready case started in
Baltimore City Court. where Judge
w. Conwell Smith ruled that the
university need not admit her.
Judge Smith decided that the
State had discharged it's obliga-
tions by offering to send Miss Nc
Cready to a Negro school of nurs-
ing at Nashville.
Judges Decision Reversed.
In reversing Judge Smith, the
Maryland Court of Appeals or
dered State authorities to provide
equal educational facilities for
Miss McCready within the State
of Maryland.
Refusal of the Supreme Court
to review the decision, means that
the appeals court order stands.
The case has attracted particu-
lar attention throughout the
country because it raised a special
issue concerning a regional edu-
Icational compact by IA Southern
States. Attorneys for Miss Nc
Cready contended that the COM
pact was designed to build UP
segregated schools to prevent
Negroes from attending other
public educational institutions op-
Grated by the various States.
Admitted to Law School.
The University of Maryland al
ready admits Negroes to it's law
school in Baltimore. A half
dozen law suits have been filed
in recent months by Negroes seek
ing admission to other branches
OF the university.
Only last week, a Baltimore City
Court judge ruled that the uni
versity must admit Parren j.
Mitchell of Baltimore as it's first
Negro student at the school of
sociology at College Park. At
present there are no negroes at
College Park.
The court also refused to re-
consider decision requiring Texas
to admit a Negro student to the

a general war is inevitable.
But" Mr.. Dulles added, I'VE do

force. Fear of war. If not allayed,

war most likely.
Nothing that we can do will
make peace certain. But we can
make less likely that there will be
little wars and big wars. That is
worth doing"

Korea have succeeded except for
a series of accidents which, from
