Committee of 100 on
Federal City Sees
DiIupiduted Area
By jones 6. Deone

Golden street is a misnomer. It's
an alley, and its bricks aren't
gold.
A group of citizens saw it yes
terday. Behind brick fronts they
found broken doors and windows,
Jagged fences. flies, outhouses and
outside water spigots. They also
saw barefoot children amid the
litter.
The scene is a few blocks from
the Capitol, near Ninth and E
streets S.W. Officials showed it
off to members of the Committee
of 100 on the Federal City to ex-
plain the need for Southwest slum
clearance. No further explanation
was needed.
Golden street and Washington's
Southwest produce market center
are half block apart, off Ninth
street. The gaunt children, how
ever. showed no evidence of a close
connection.
James Ring, assistant director of
the National Capital Housing Au-
thority, interviewed a young
mother. She said she pays $3.50
a month rent. Her house has two
small rooms on the first floor and
two on the second, for five small
children.
Her children, she added, a1N
usually sick.
House With 13.
A woman down the row said she
pays $40. Thirteen live in her
house.
Several houses in the middle of
the row are being repaired. OFF,
cials said they were bought by
somebody as an investment.
Right now they haven't any
ground floors, but a carpenter
nodded when asked if they are
in good shape.
Repairs can continue until &C
tual slum clearance is ordered.
Some other houses are boarded
up.
Between walls, Golden street is
30 feet wide. That's why it's
called a street. There are no
sidewalks and no grass.
This is the front. The back
alley is worse.
Dixon's court also was visited.
It's between Third and Fourth,
H and I streets. Mr.. Ring said
it is a center of trade in mar
cotics. Occupants scurried to
cover when the visitors arrived.

Plan 10 Tighten Up
On Traffic VioIafors

A new, centralized system o1

will help curb ticket fixing" is
being studied for possible adoption
in Washington.
The plan was tentatively in
dorsed yesterday by the American
Bar Associations Special Commit
tee for the Improvement of the
Administration of Justice. The
group, consisting of judges, law
yers and laymen, met in the Mu-
nicipal Court Building.
The system, already used in De-
troit, would end posting of col

Forfeiture of collateral instead o1
being a way to dodge court judg-
ments, would become equal to 8

All of this would be accom-.

the court building, which woulc
process all traffic tickets. In ad.
dition, a uniform ticket woulc
be adopted which would double a.

Under the new plan, policemen

original would go to the offender

Court clerk.
All processing would be done
at the violations bureau in the
court. The clerks Office woulc
keep a complete record of all
tickets. Any unaccounted fol
could be traced directly to the
policeman responsible, thus max
ing it more difficult to "fix" tickets
at the precincts. Court disposi-

concept of collateral forfeiture

Hoover Plan
Peril 10 District
Attacks Vague Bills
Putting D. c. Affairs
Under GSA Control

Commissioner F. Joseph Dono.
hue today painted a frightening
picture Of what might happen tt
the District government under
proposed legislation carrying out 9
Hoover Commission recommends
ton.
Two bills are pending in the
House which would charge the
General Services Administration
with responsibility for co-ordina-
tion Of District government ac-
tivities with Federal operations.
ut is so vague it frightens me, ~
Mr.. Donohue said of the proposed
legislation. He said lawyers would
have a fine time trying to con-
Strue it.
Criticisms Listed.
He testified before the House
Expenditures Committee. Most of
the committee members present
appeared to share his opposition.
Mr.. Donohue aimed these criti-
cisms at the proposed legislation:
l. It would be embarrassing
and humiliating to the people of
the District" to make their gov
ernment subject to an inter-
mediate agency between it and the
President.
2. Coordination of District ac-
tivities with other Federal affairs
might lead to such steps as put
ing the Districts Health Depart
ment into the Public Health
Service.
8. It would mean the transfer
from the President to GSA of
the appointment of two civilian
Commissioners, members of the
Municipal Court, the Municipal
Court of Appeals, the Public Utili-
ties Commission and the Rede-
velopment Land Agency.
Other Agencies Covered.
The Hoover Commissions rec
ommendation also applies to the
National Capitol Park and Plan
ming Commission. the Fine Arts
Commission and the Smithsonian
Institution. These also are covered
in the pending bills.
The commissions purpose was
to reduce the load of work on the
President. Instead of reporting di-
rectly to him. the commission
would have the agencies listed
report to GSA under regulations
the President would set up.
Mr. Donohue said that in the Is
months he has been a Commits
sioner he has never had occasion
to bother the President about Dis
trict affairs.
He quoted GSA Administrator
Jess Larson as saying he is not
asking for authority over District
affairs. Mr.. Donohue also said
counsel for GSA has said District
government etnclency might be
impaired by the plan.
Dawson Raises Question.
Discussion Of the vagueness of
the proposed legislation led Com
mittee Chairman Dawson to won
der whether it might not even
give the District government the
right to expel the Federal Gov
ernment.
Mr.. Donohue replied that any
attempt to remove the Federal
Government would be vigorously
opposed. He already had taken
occasion to comment on the fact
the Federal Government contrib
utes only 8 per cent of the District
governments finances and that
due to Federal and other tax ex-
emptions, 38 per cent of the land
area pays 100 per cent of the taxes.

Attorney for Barrett
Says He Will Fight

Charles E. Ford, attorney for
Robert j. Barrett. last night said
he would go to court, if necessary,
to defend the former police chiefs

sion of $5,565 a year.
At the same time, Mr.. Ford

ton.
"It's not a question now of
whether Mr.. Barrett's pension
should be Cancelled, but whether
we have the authority to do so"
Mr.. Donohue declared.
AS to Mr.. Barrett's pension, and
the one sought by suspended In
spector Albert I. Bullock, Mr.. Ford
said the question of instituting
such an action for cause would
not apply. If it did go through
for Mr.. Barrett, the attorney said
the Commissioners would be yio-
lating the latter's rights under the
CONSTITUTION.
