keneipp Invites Critics
To Help Him Get Funds
For Traffic Signals

Traffic Director George E. Ke-
neipp parried critics attacks last
night by inviting them to help
him on Capitol Hill.
Friday night the Anacostia Citi-
zens' Association demanded that
he quit. The associations reso-I
luton noted the hit-and-run auto
killing Of a 7-year-old boy
Wednesday night at the intersec-
ton of Fourteenth street, Mime
sofa avenue and Good Hope
road Sc.
For five years the association
has beer asking for a traffic signal
at that intersection, the resolution
said. Mr.. Keneipp won't give
them a light and his department.
"is irefficiently administered and
improperly directed, and failed to
carry out its mission of protecting
people," the resolution added. The
association concluded by demand
ing that the District Commits
sioners call for his resignation.
No Money for Signals.
Last night the traffic director
said he hasn't had any formal no.
tice of the resolution. AS for the
charge of inefnciency, he said his
department has no money for sig
mails for the intersection.
He said his men have probably
made more surveys of conditions
there than Of any other intersec-
ton in the city, because of re-
peated demands for a light.
It doesn't need signals as much
as about so other District inter-
sections which don't have them,
he said. People in those 60 areas
want lights, too, he said.
Purchase and installation of
these lights cost about $3,400I
each," he said, "and we don't have
Lne money.
Would Welcome Help.
He said he'd welcome the help
of the Anacostia group-as we'll
as any other citizens groups
when the time comes to try to pry
money out of Congress.
He said he can't remember when
any such organization showed upI
on The Hill to argue in behalf of
"a bigger appropriation for traffic
lights.
Labor costs and the expense of
putting in special conduits make
up most of the bill for traffic
light, Mr.. Keneipp added.
AS for giving the Anacostia
group a light at the disputed in
tersection, before the go worse cor
ners get them, he said he thought
that would be so wrong there'd
be justification then for demand
ing his resignation.
Meanwhile. the search for the
hit-and-run driver went on.
Police said they have inspected
a great many cars reported to
them. Several motorcycle patrol
men are assigned full-time on the
case. They haven't located the
auto vet.

Commissioners Seek
Authority 10 Transfer
Designated Funds
The District Commissioners are

The District Commissioners are
seeking authority to transfer
funds appropriated for specific
projects to other projects in which
the need Is more pressing.
The move was revealed last
might by Commissioner F. Joseph
Donohue in his weekly radio talk
Report to the People of Wash
ington." broadcast over Station
WWDC.
Mr.. Donohue told Of the need
for $4,000 to pay 20 additional
teachers required for Division 2
of the school system.
He said that Is of these would
be needed only until February
when the term ends. But the
money is lacking, he said even
though there is a surplus of about
100000 In the school construc-
tion fund and an overall $40 mil
lion surplus accredited to the Dis
trict by the Federal Government.
Legislation Proposed.
The Commissioner revealed that
the Corporation Counsel had been
requested to draw up drafts of
proposed legislation, to be pre-
sented to Congress, empowering
the Commissioners to order trans
fers Of funds.
A ceiling on the amounts to be
transferred would be set, he ex-
planned, and a two-thirds vote of
the Citizens Advisory Committee
would be required before transfers
could be made under the proposed
plan. In addition, an emergency
would have to be shown before
any funds could be shifted. The
Citizens Committee, now a purely
advisory body, would have veto
power over funds transfer under
the proposed statute.
He pointed up need for the ar
rangement by citing. in addition
to the critical teaching situation
in Division 2, the delay suffered
several months ago in obtaining
$4,000 to go through with plans
for a children's center to be stu
ated at Laurel, Md.
Queried on Successor.
He was asked, by reporters who
interviewed him during the pro-
gram, If he has noticed any "like-
ly" candidates for his post, which
he has announced he will resign
with the succession of Gen. Eisen-
hover to the presidency.
Commissioner Donohue replied
that he had seen many candidates
mentioned and they all were men
Of integrity. II don't know if I
have seen any likely ones" he
said.
In answer to other questions,
Mr.. Donohue said he had noticed
an apparent increase in crimes Of
violence locally, and commented
that the situation seems to be the
same "all over the world" He
said he noticed a report that
England is considering re-estab-
fishing the whipping post to COM
bat such crimes.

through traffic again by Christ
mas.
A 5A-mile section Of the scenic
road between Rockville and Route

Commission has been rebuilding
the section between Hunting Hill
and Darnestown to remove sharp
curves and hills and widen the

The culvert will cross a small
creek near Tom CARROTS farm,
about a mile north of Hunting

The culvert will be made of
concrete poured over two huge
steel pipes. through which the
creek waters will flow.

American U. 70 Train
Writer'S 10 Serve as
Ghosts for Orators
By The Asaoeiatsd Press

A course of study for ghost
writers. win open next month at
American University.
Among other things. they will
be taught to write in such a way
that orators will understand at
all times what they are saying.
DR.. Walter P. Bowman, head of
the university's Department of
Communications. who will teach
the course. said today ghost writ
ers are indispensable artisans, /"
although only a few years ago
they were "inadmissible."
Most Of the great speeches we
hear are written in a whole or in
part by someone backstage," he
said. "It is time we recognized
the. fact and offered suitable
training in the art Of writing
speeches"
$50 at Top Level.
There are no official estimates
on how many ghost writers pen
speeches in Washington, but D.
w. Osten. assistant director Of
public relations at American Uni
versity. said there must be more
than $50 at the top level In Wash
ington alone"
Mr.. Osten said the toughest
part Of q ghosts job is adjusting
his own talents to fit the mental
and oratorical capacities Of the
man for whom he is writing his
speech.
sFor instance" Mr.. .Osten
pointed out. "He can't write won
derful prose, like that Churchill
uses. for somebody who can't de-
liver it the way Churchill does"
Moreover. said Mr.. Osten, he
can't put words in the mouth of
a speaker that the speaker himself
doesn't understand.
st might be all right as far
as the speech goes" Mr.. Osten
observed, "but 1t leaves the speak
er In q tough spot when the ques-
tion period starts.
Deserves Praise, Not ScOrn.
'HThe answer Is not to put any
thing in the speech which is not
crystal clear to the speaker"
And, anecdotes?
'sWell. he certainly shouldn't use
anecdotes that the speaker would
never have heard.
Mr.. Osten said he knew OF a
number of cases where ghost
writer's speech was turned over to
the speaker minutes before he
climbed onto the roStrum.
'sThat's a tough assignment. And
the man who can do good job
In . situation like that deserves
the highest praise-and not the
public scorn."

and would convey the message to
every business group in the city.
"1f there are q few rotten ap-
pies in the barrel, we'll weed them
out" he told the dealers.
The association adopted a reso-
luton disapproving a bill, intro
duced in Congress by Representa-
tive Sutton, Democrat, of Ten
nessee, to. abolish the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board in favor
of d one-man commission. The
bill also would remove the limit
on the number of package stores

ferTed to the House District Com
n1ittee.

try will hold a dance Sunday
night In the Shoreham Hotel

Capital Committee
Points 10 Return on
Tourist Investment

The Greater National Capital
Committee is trying to convince
Washington businessmen that an
investment of $115,000 will bring
an annual return of 5000 million
or better.
That's the reasoning behind
the committees drive this month
for funds to operate another year
as the booster of the Nations
Capital.
It never has failed yet to sell
the idea to the business firms.
This year. however. the committee
wants to go above the goal and
expand its activities.
The 5000 million figure is what
visitors who came to Washington
last year left in the hands of local
hotels. restaurants, stores and
other business firms.
At a campaign report luncheon
yesterday in the Carlton Hotel,
Hubert T.. Bisselle, chairman of
the fund drive. reported that
$4,000 had been subscribed by
business firms to date. Only two
units, the newspapers and the
building and loan associations,
have made their quota so far.
Department stores were not far
behind, with 9912 per cent.
Speakers pointed out the things
the committee does to attract
tourists and conventions to Wash
ington. These include sponsoring
such things as the Cherry Bios
som Festival and selling national
organizations on the idea that
Washington is the place to hold
conventions.
Another report luncheon will be
held next Friday.
