5 New Social Workers
Sought From Second
Civil Service List

/ The District Welfare Depart
ment tomorrow will make another
1 attempt to obtain social workers
to fill vacancies in the Public AS
sistance Division. Director John
w. Tramburg announced yester-
day.
The Civil Service Commission
has sent a register of IS social
workers having Civil Service
status and from this list the We'll
fare officials hope to obtain five
social workers to help cut down
the backlog of requests for aid
now piling up. Several weeks ago
/ the Civil Service Commission sent
list of 25 social workers who had
a Civil Service status, but the
Welfare Department was unable
to obtain the services of sirgle
worker. All were employed in
other welfare agencies and were
not attracted by the $3,100 salary
offered.
If the Welfare Department is
unable to obtain five workers from
the latest list. they will request
the commission to waive the civil
service requirements and try to
get social workers for temporary
work until the back log is reduced.
Since the publication last week
OF the need for social workers,
the Welfare Department has re-
ceived many calls from social
workers who do not have Civil
Service status, but were forced to
turn them down because regula-
tions say that only those having
Civil Service ratings can be en-
ployed.
Mr.. Tramburg last week said
many relief applicants were being
denied assistance because there
were not enough social workers to
investigate their financial cir
cumstances. He said the screen
ing takes about IS days after the
application is first made and then
after they have been accepted it
takes about two weeks before they
receive any money. except in cases
where there is shown to be need
for immediate assistance.
The number of appeals for aid
now averages about 625 month,
and after investigation about 225
are granted assistance.

Capt. Tingey Began 29 Years
As Head of Navy Yard in 1900

just $50 years ago-on Janu-
airy %, 1900 to be exact-Secre-
tary of the Navy Benjamin Stod-
dert wrote William Marbury, the
agent for the Navy at the port of
Georgetown, that Capt. Thomas
Tingey. u s. u. had been ordered
to Washington to aid in the ar
rangement of the Navy Yard.
Capt. Tingey. one of the first
captains Of the United States
Navy was an Englishman, born in
London in 1850, the son of an
Anglican clergyman. He was an
officer in the Royal Navy until he
left it when he was about 81. He
engaged in the West Indian trade
as master of a brig plying out OF
st. Croix in the Virgin Islands
and married the daughter Of a
Philadelphia merchant there.
During the Revolution he en-
gagged in privateering on the Eng
ilish trade with Thomas Truxtun
and John Barry. When they left
the West Indies for home. he was
head of the very irregular Ameri-
can naval forces there. After the
war he came to Philadelphia.
Like Truxton he became cap
tain in the newly organized Navy
IN 1898. He took over the new
Navy Yard on the Anacostia in
1900 and continued as its super
intendent until 1928 record.
Capt. Tingey built up the Navy
Yard. In September, 1914, when
the British put it to the torch its
value was estimated at $678,210
and the loss at $417,745. Capt,
Tingey had an idea that Rear

Chief Judge George P. Barse of
Municipal Court last night esti-
mated it would be two years be-
fore. the civil calendar of the
court becomes current. even if
the three new judges are appoint
ed tomorrow.
Judge Barse, who said he
couldn't understand the delay in
appointment of the judges au-
thorized in a bill signed by Pres
ident Truman last October, point
ed out that the civil branch OF
the court is now II to IA months
behind on jury cases, and 16
months behind on non jury cases
When the jurist appeared be-
fore Congress last summer to ask
for the additional appointments
the civil calendar was IL months
behind in jury cases, and IA
months behind on non-jury cases.
Load Has Increased so Pet.
He said the work-load of civil
cases had increased so per cent
over the last few years, and that
his 1949 annual report. due to be
completed this week. would show
an additional increase.
Meanwhile. speculation over
who the new judges would be
continued to be the greatest
topic of conversation among law
yers and court attaches.
Authoritative sources already
have indicated that Miss Mary c
Barlow, law librarian at Muni-
cipal Court, was in line for one
of the appointments.
Miss Barlow is understood tc
have the backing of Chairman
Nicely, of the Senate District
Committee, one of the hackers o1

New Bridge Relieves
Traffic on I.nacostia, !,
Benning, Sousa Span,

Opening of the South Capito
street bridge has eliminated tn.
overload on the Anacostia Bridg,
and brought relief to the Bennins
and Sousa crossings, prelim.
mary traffic study by the Distric,
indicates.
A traffic count on the Anacostis
River bridges last Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday was COM
pared with one made on January
10, four days before the South
Capitol street span opened.
Still Want Another Bridge.
Engineer Commissioner Gordon
r. Young pointed out that the
Benning and Sousa Bridges have
been relieved, but still are over
loaded. This was foreseen, he
said and is the reason the Com
missioners are asking for another
bridge across the Anacostia in
the 1851 budget.
But. he declared, the figures
re-emphasize the Importance of
taking care of the northern Sec
tor of the trans-Anacostia area
including the large developing
area in Maryland.
Before the South Capitol street
bridge was opened, the southern
sector was in a worse situation
with respect to bridge congestion
but I'VE have taken care of this
Gen. Young said. Nov it is the
turn Of the northern sector to be
given relief"
The Commissioners want tc
build the next bridge along the
line of East Capitol street. The
staff Of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission has
been in favor Of Massachusett.
avenue as the location.
The planning commission will.
take up the East Capitol street
proposal at its meeting this Wed.
nesday, Thursday and Friday
General Young. a member of the
commission, will present the Dis.
trict Commissioners views.
Traffic Load Shifts Noted.
The new traffic counts indicate
that on January 10, the Anacostia
eleventh Street Bridge carried
45,705 cars. or 10,705 more than its
rated daily capacity. The average
for last Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, however. was only
28,037 vehicles, or 6,963 below
capacity. it showed.
In addition, opening of the new
bridge took more than 1000 We
hicles from the 4,491 overload on
the Benning Bridge, which has a
capacity of 10000, and more than
$500 from the $500 overload or
the Sousa Bridge, which has a ca
pacity of $4,000, the figures indi-
Gated.
The South Capitol street span
as yet unnamed, has rated ca
pacity of 5000. It's recorded aver
age for last Monday. Tuesday ano
Wednesday was 1856.
The study found net under.
load for the four bridges as .
whole of 1886. or II per cent.
Curiosity Factor Weighed.
The reduction in the traffic over
Benning Bridge. Gen. Youne
pointed out, may be temporary
and caused by motorists who went
over the new bridge, from curl.
osity. The figure for Wednesday
as distinguished from the three
day average, was only 1900 be.
low the January 10 overload.
The engineer commissioner pre-.
dicted the traffic over the South
Capitol span would increase wher
the connection with Suitlanc
Parkway is completed, which will
be soon.

Municipal Court Lags D. {. Churches Rejec
12-t4 Months Behind Plan 10 Take Over
In Civil Case Calendar Child Care Program

The Washington Federation Of
Churches board of directors yes
terday rejected suggestion by the
District Commissioners that the
churches take over the child day
care program.
Instead. the board. in a resolu-
ton made public yesterday, en-
phasized that the churches aid
should only be supplemental to aid
given under voluntary and govern
mental auspices. and called on the
government to share in the ex-
penses of running the program.
The Washington Federation of
Churches reaffirms it's belief in the
need for an adequate child day
program in the District of Colum-
bia and in the necessity for gov
ernment sharing in providing such
a program the resolution stated.
Will Participate i'm Planning.
Pointing out "it appears at the
present that private resources are
inadequate to meet the need" the
federation said it would partici-
pate through the United Com
munity Services of Washington
in overall community planning
on this matter"
But the motion declared that
amy child day care programs the
churches might possibly be able to
develop should be for the purpose
of providing additional facilities
to those already existing under
voluntary and Governmental aus
pices. and, therefore. strongly dis
favors the suggestion that the
present child day care program of
the District Board of Public
Welfare be transferred to the
churches"
DR.. Frederick E. Reissig, execu-
tive secretary of the Washington
Federation of Churches, in a let
ter to Commissioner John Russell
Young said the question had been
discussed with Roman Catholic
and Jewish representatives as well
as with individuals interested in
the day care program. He said
that as result of these discus
sions the above resolution was
passed by the federation's board of
directors.
Notes GerstenfeId Letter.
DR.. Reissig also noted that a
recent letter to the press by Rabbi
Norman Gerstenfeld, member ot
the Board of Public Welfare, sug-
gested the churches supplement
the public and private schools WE
now have" by developing a pro-
gram of day and after school care
for children.
You will note that any day
care program the churches might
develop should be for the pur.
pose of supplementing the exist.
ing public and private facilities
rather than for the purpose OF
absorbing any service now being
offered" DR.. Reissig's letter said
