here were urged today to settle
on a common primary date for

means of informing the public
about it..
Letters signed by Mrs. Lloyd 8.
Luther, president of the League Of
Women Voters Of the District, also
suggested use Of some public
buildings. such as firehouses, as
polling places.
"a presidential preferential pri-
mary offers a great opportunity
for local citizens to fiex their
political muscles" Mrs. Luther
wrote.
She asked that rules and regu.
lations be drawn UP for the pri-
marieS to provide for full partici.
patton Of qualified local citizens.
Asking a common primary date,
she said that only one State,
Rhode Island. has two dates. and
that State now Is attempting to
establish one day for a bipartisan
primary.
Mrs. Luther recalled that the
Commissioners have permitted
use of public buildings for plebi.
scites here twice in recent years.

D. {. Heads Study Plan j
For Paid Guards al
200 School Crossings

II ''TIne Commissioners today have
under study the plan to employ
crossing guards at about 200 in
tersections In lieu of policemen.
The project would cost about
$229, 900 for the first year for
salaries and uniforms, and about
$lg3, 900 ayear thereafter.
Both men and women would be
employed as crossing guards.
No Power of Arrest.
Mai. Robert v. Murray appeared
before the Commissioners at q
board meeting yesterday and told
them Of the plan. The guards
would be given power only to
stop traffic while school children
are crossing the street. They
would not have authority to place
persons under, arrest.
The guards would be employed
about 3lz hours a day on the
l8O school days In the year and
would be paid at the rate Of $1.50
an hour.
Budget Officer Walter L. Fowler
recommended that the proposal be
held in abeyance until the f1nan-
lcial aspect can be considered more
carefully.
Saving Seen on Lights.
Trafac Director George E.
Keneipp told the Commissioners
the employment Of crossing guards
would reduce the number of inter-
sections where his department
plans to erect traffic lights. Brig.
Gen. Bernard L. Robinson, En-
ginAer Commissioner. asked If 1t
would be possible to get volun-
teers for the job. but the heads
OF departments said this would
not be satisfactory.
The school boy patrol is doing
a good job, it was said. but the
boys are not allowed of the curb
and may not stop traffic.
Mai. Murray said some police
men now are detailed to school
crossings at peak hours. but there
are not enough to, give the pro-
lection needed.
