The controversial traffic light

will be removed as part of a pro-
gram to smooth out the traffic
flow in the Fourteenth street Mall
area.
Removal of the light was one
of several steps approved by the
Commissioners today.
Highway Director J. NJ; Robert
son and Traffic Director George
E. Keneipp emphasized, that the
measures approved today for i'm
mediate action will not completely
erase traffic congestion because
the real problem is lack of street
capacity.
Permanent relief can be ex-
pected only from construction of
new highway facilities to disperse
traffic over larger area in the
northern approaches to the high
way bridges or by other Potomac
River crossings. they declared.
The light was turned out last
October after less than a month

Realignment Suggested.
Mr.. Keneipp and Mr.. Robert
son have suggested realignment of
Fifteenth street between Consti-
tuition and independence avenues
to provide direct connections past
the Washington Monument, but
National Capital Parks has re-
ported it does not have the money,
Mr.. Robertson said.
1t was decided today to simplify
the intersection OF Fifteenth
street and independence avenue
in the meantime in an effort to
get more traffic off Fourteenth
street and onto Fifteenth. Be-
cause of the peculiar layout of
the intersection, this is now in
convenient.
The Highway Department also
has authority to widen Four
teenth street between the two
avenues after July /. Mr.. Robert
son said he preferred to wait un-
til the other Improvements are
made to make sure that this wild
ening is necessary.
The immediate improvements
to be made by the District will
cost $36,487.

Auto Tag Dealings
At Counter Urged
To Save Mail Cost

The Bureau of Vehicles and
Traffic would like to see more
motorists apply in person for
their auto license tags, in
stead of having them mailed
out. The reason is that the
first seven days of this month,
2,195 tags were mailed out
In comparison to only 1852
in the same period last year.
The mailing bill is almost
twice as much as last years
and Is paid for by the bureau.
Over the counter dealings
would save the department

Judge Medina Raps
Bank Trust CHARGES
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 12-Federal
Judge Harold r. Medina says
part of the Governments case in
the investment banking anti
trust trial Smells fishy."
The part the judge questioned
yesterday was the Governments s
allegation of a monopoly deal be-
tween investment bankers and
large insurance companies.
Holmes Baldridge, special as
sistant to the Attorney General,
asked the judge not to decide the
issue before all the evidence was
in.
II am not going to sit here
like a clam" the judge retorted.
Il am going to decide something. :"
An important phase of the
Governments case is contention
that a group of insurance COM
panies and the defendant invest
ment bankers agreed at a meet
ing in 1941 not to compete II
bidding for securities issues.
The Government, which seeks
an injunction, charges a long
standing monopoly in selling
issues of new securities.

By the Associated Press

CARMEL, N. Y, Jan. 12.-The
defense of Herbert Gehr, New
York television director charged
with the murder of his wife, starts
today following a dramatic wit
ness-stand appearance of "the

The 31-year-old ex-wife of Mark
Matthews, messenger service mag

She told her version of the pre-

when Gehr's estranged wife, An

private detectives to the cottage
seeking divorce evidence.
When she left the witness stand
the State rested.
She was called as a prosecution

are running at an annual rate OF
somewhat more than $40 billion
BY the end of this calendar year
they should attain an annual rate
of between $45 billion and $50 bill
lion, or from $25 billion to $35
billion above the present rate. The
actions we are taking should en-
able us, within IL months, to ex-
pand this rate of expenditure very
rapidly if necessity should re-
quire.'
Calling for stringent Stabil-
ization program" to check inf1a-
ton, the President informed
Congress that stats are being
rapidly gathered to apply broader
controls" over wages and prices
as curb on imitation.
I'm the case of prices" he
said. "the general policy must be
to hold the price line with ut
most vigor."
He asked that the Agriculture
Department be granted tIthor-
! ity to control speculative trading
and to strengthen its regulation
of commodity exchanges" He has
on previous occasions sought this
authority wjthOllt SlfccaSS
Calling for equality of sacrifice
the President expressed conviction
that businessmen, farmers and
labor will be willing to forego
higher income if certain that one
class is not to profit at the ex-
pense of the other.

forces working against u.s." the
President repeated the warning
of his state-of the Union message
that large and menacing forces"
led by Russia are arrayed against
the free world"
THE great manpoWer under
control of Soviet Communists is
being driven with fanatic zeal to
build up military and industrial
strength" he amplified.
The President said there are
three major steps the Nation
must take to cope with Commu-
mist aggression.
/. Achieve large and rapid in
crease in armed strength while
helping strengthen our allies.
2. Achieve as rapidly as possible
an expansion of our capacity for
producing military supplies.
Economic Expansion.
8. Maintain and expand our
basic economic strength, so i'm
portant both to military produc-
ton and civilian economy, $50 we
can continue to grow stronger
rather than weaker if it should be
necessary to continue a defense
effort of great size for number
of years"
In dealing with taxes, wages and
prices, the President explained
that the new taxes are required
not only to help the defense effort
but to keep total spending within
the capacity of current production
so that imitation does not reduce
the purchasing power of the de-
fense budget, reduce the real value
of the peoples savings, generate
speculative buying and boarding
and impede essential production. u

|FinIetter AssaiIs Plan
10 Have President
Pick Air Adjutant

Air Force Secretary Finletter
yesterday vigorously objected to
proposal that the air adjutant
general be a presidential ap-
pointee. --e-
He told House Armed Services
Subcommittee that the Air Force
reorganization bill, as introduced
by Chairman Vinson, would weak
en- civilian control because the
Secretary could not detail this
man out of his position" if the
President had appointed him.
Mr.. Finletter also opposed the
requirement that the air adjutant
general be major general. The
duties of the air adjutant gen.
eral are not comparable to those
of the same officer in the Army.
The Air Force officer is merely
a custodian of files, according to
the Secretary. The present air
adJutant general is a colonel.
No Action Taken.
No formal action was taken by
the subcommittee on Nh. Fin
letters objections, but it was
understood that Mr.. Vinson later
agreed not to insist on the above
section of the bill.
Although no votes were taken,
the Secretary apparently con-
vinced the subcommittee and Mr..
VinSon, who sat throughout the
two-hour session, that these i'm
portant changes should be made
in the bill:
l. The peacetime limitation of
the number of Air Force officers
to serve in Washington should be
lifted from 1900 to 5000. At
present, 2,45O are on duty here.
Mr.. Finletter said he had self
imposed limit of 2,700. The Army,
which will have at least one and
half times the total strength Of
the Air Force under present goals,
already has been limited to 5000
here.
2. The Air Force should have
it's own housekeeping" units
quartermaster, chaplain, medical
and engineer services-and not be
required to obtain them from
either the Army or Navy.
Air Force Supplies.
8. The Air Secretary may"
rather than SHALL" cause to be
manufactured or produced at Gov
ernment arsenals, depots or Gov
ernment-owned factories of the
United States all those supplies
needed by the Air Force which
can be produced there on an eco
nomical basis.
Before yesterdays session was
five minutes old. Representative
Brooks. Democrat, of louisiana,
declared that he had grave mis-
givings" as to whether I'VE are
trying here to put too rigid a
harness on the Air Force" in the

Entomologists of the II. S. De-

infested spot they advise placing
a piece of black cardboard edge

are suspected. If you can see small
yelloWish or pinkish mites moving
over the cardboard and accumu-

hit home.
