Better Street Lighting
Proposals Include
Route | in D. E..

The Districts portion of Route
1 may get better lighting next
year.
The city wants to spend ST.
500 to install nearly 500 new
street lights on the heavily trav-
eled. six mile long interstate
route. which runs from the Four
teenth street bridge to the Dis
trict line at Bladensburg road and
Eastern avenue.
Present lighting is inadequate,
and there were II fatal night
accidents on the route in the
year ended July !. officials re-
ported.
To Be $50 Feet Apart.
The new lights will be $50 feet
apart. staggered on both sides OF
the street, with extra lights at
intersections.
Route l runs from Fourteenth
street and Maine avenue via C
and D streets, Maryland avenue,
Third street. L street, New York
avenue and Bladensburg road
The new lighting will match that
on the beSt-lighted streets in the
city, according to Herbert A.
Friede, electrician.
Massachusetts, avenue east OF
Ward Circle may get the city's
first major installation of mer-
cury-vapor type lamps next year
These can be spaced 200 feet
apart because they produce more
light than the regular incandes-
cent type. They are costlier to
install, but use five to 10 per cent
less current, Mr.. Friede said. The
Massachusetts, avenue cost would
be 31,105.
The city hopes to get more Of
the new type in the future. he
added.
Other Lighting Projects.
The proposed improvements are
among eight street-lighting prof.
ects recommended to the Com
missioners for the fiscal year
starting next July.
Another Is the installation of
lights on the new South Dakota
avenue extension from Bladens-
burg road to New York avenue
NE, a connection with the new
Baltimore Washington parkway.
This road is under construction.
The lighting is one of the items
in the $2.6 million proposed budget

How Motorists Can Save $10o,o00,000 a Year
Thanks to Research in an Oil Tanker

So the Sinclair Research Laboratories produced a
chemical that stops the rust Called RD-l19o by the
engineers, just small amount in gasoline forms a
tough film between the water and the metal. The
results were amazing
Before-one tanker yielded $4,000 pounds of rust
in year. After carrying Sinclair Antitrust Gasoline
with RD-l19-the rust was reduced by $50!
All Sinclair Gasoline now contains RD-ll9-regu-
lar or Ethyl, it is Sinclair Antitrust gasoline And
you also get this extra benefit at no extra cost You
drive for mile after mile year after year, and no rust
clogs your cars fuel lines, rust eats away at the
gas tank or plugs the carburetor.
You get better performance and longer wear and
your repair bills are cut tremendously. You can get
this protective gasoline at any Sinclair Service Station,
together with free booklet telling the complete story
This is just one of many achievements at the
Sinclair Research Laboratories There steady flow
ofnew ideas that result in better performance lowered
costs and completely new oil products for you.

Although the lesson could have
been learned during the Second
World War, the Army was reluct-
ant to act as vehicle for social
REFORM 1t pointed to several War
College studies made after the
First World War which found
large Negro combat units "ineffi-
cient and troublesome" and recon-
mended that the Army never again
form Negro units of divisional size.
Segregation dies hard in the
Army despite recommendations as
early as 1922 that racial difficult
ties could be avoided if one or two
Negro soldiers were placed in
every whfsr( squad.
In 1915 the Gillem board, headed
by Lieutenant General A. C. Gill
lem, recommended what in actual
practice would have meant the Gre
alton of a second Army consist
ing entirely OF Negroes" This pro-
posal was demolished by the Presi-
dents Committee on Equality of
Treatment and Opportunity in the
Armed Services-the Charles Fahy
Committee-which pointed out the
segregation forced inefficien-
cy in two ways. BY requiring skill
ed Negroes to serve in racial units,
the Army lost skills which could
find no place in Negro organiza-
tions. On the other hand, by con-
centrating large numbers of I'M
skilled NEGROES in combat units it
multiplied inefficiency."
The Presidents Executive Order
in 1913 finally led to the opening
OF all jobs and school courses to
Negroes in September, 1919. Other
paris of the directive led to further
steps in the fight against segrega-
ton.
The elimination of segye CATION in

Negro leader Harry T. Moore of
Minis, Florida on Christmas night.
Such a commission should be
charged with the responsibility of
eXhaustively studying the present
reign of terror in Florida against
Negroes and Jews. My belief is
Presidential statement by you at
this time of sitting up such a
commission and expressing your
determination to rid our country of
this lot and disgrace will have far
reaching effect in deterring future
lawlessness and terrorism. 1t will
put confidence and hope in the
hearts of Negroes and Jews in
Florida in particular and the ma
ton in general that they may ex-
pect that their rights and life will
not betrampled upon and taken
away by any form of organized
hoodlumism or the breakdown of
/ the machinery of local justice.
Seems clear to millions of Negroes
Jews and other American citizens
that the constituted Florida state
authorities are incompetent to deal
with the present emergency. Moore
was killed and his wife critically
injured while he was performing
in the noble democratic tradition of
alerting his fellow Negro citizens
to their responsibilities as citizens
in a democratic nation. The man
ner of his death is a forceful and
glaring evidence of the hold that
cancerous, undemocratic elements
have on the State of Florida. Lyn-
ching of Moore cannot go unchal-
lenged without serious damage to
the noble American democratic ira
ditions both at home of abroad.
Urge prompt and forthwith action
by you to assure justice and to
effectively disarm Communist pro-
paganda which will see the manner
of Moore's death as another good
chance to misrepresent the true
United States of America which is
shocked and chagrined at the latest
Florida killing of an American
