Keystone Club Board
Outlines Program for
D. T.. Traffic Problems

The Advisory Board of the
Washington Office of the Keystone
Automobile Club last night told
top Washington officials how it
feels on the problems of parking :,
traffic and safety.
The club held its 14th annual
District Day dinner at the home
of Mark Lansburgh, Bill Idaho
avenue NV. Commissioners F..
Joseph Donohue and Brig. Gen.
Bernard L. Robinson headed the
guest list.
Ernest r. Brett, secretary Of the
Advisory Board. reported that the
board felt some degree of progress
had been made in the field of traf-
dc safety during the past year.
Parking Plan on Way.
Parking has been the subject
OF study by many groups during
this year, and we feel that a def
mite plan is finally on the way"
Mr.. Brett said. THE Motor Vehi-
Gle Parking Agency has done a
splendid job, although they have
been limited as to personnel and
finances. There is some possibil-
ity that some money will be placed
back in the District budget to|
give the Motor Vehicle Parking
Agency operating funds"
Mr.. Brett said that unless more
off-street parking facilities are
placed in operation the downtown
business area will be blighted and
face a loss of business.
"It is quite useless to build
more and better highways into
the District, unless we have the
terminal facilities to handle the
vehicles when they reach their
destination" he said.
Mr.. Brett said the Washington
Area Highway Transportation
Study to develop highways has
the backing of the board. The
estimated cost of the project, $40
million, is not too much, consid-
ering the results to be obtained.
Point System Backed.
On the question Of the revoca-
ton and restoration of automo-
bile operators permits, the board
said it will recommend adoption
Of the Connecticut point system.
Under this plan revocations and
suspensions are based on points
accumulated by drivers for traffic
violations.
The board, according to Mr..
Brett. feels that the time has
come to complete the Washing
ton-Baltimore parkway.
There is no question as to the
need for this new road" Mr.. Brett
said. 1.-THE congestion on the old
Baltimore pike is becoming greater
every week. The April traffic |
count showed that an average of |
$4,000 vehicles pass over this road
at the District line every day.
Creates Danger Area.
"The daily average traffic load
on the Baltimore pike rises to
some $4,000 vehicles in the vicinity
sOf Rhode Island avenue, and |
safety officials consider this as one /
Of the most dangerous parts Of
q. S. No. l."
Others who attended the dinner
were Col. Thomas Hays, Assistant
Engineer Commissioner: Edward
y. Kelly. superintendent of Ma
tional Capital Parks; Charles Up

Vehicle Parking Agency; Inspector

election free-for-all are not all
healed, although Mayor Brandt
feels definite progress has been
made. He said. for instance, that
there Is less contention now on
his town council, made up of
councilmen from both factions,
than on any council since Land
over Hills was incorporated in
1945.
Mr.. Brandt admits, however,
that he rules over a divided COM
munity. Supporters of Mr.. Zundel
still refer to him as "the Mayor" +"
And a community newspaper, the
Suburban News, has continued to
attack Mayor Brandt and his
hackers, principally Councilman
Brendan O'Dwyer.
Mr.. O'Dwyer has been Mr..
Brandt's leading supporter and
the chief target of the opposition S
attack. Mr.. O'Dwyer is a contro-
versial figure on a county level, as
well, because Of his Craftsmanship
of the Citizens Committee for
Good Government, which has been
waging a battle for a home rule
charter government in Prince
Georges County.
Obscene Film Charges.
It was Mr.. O'DWyer who gave
the heated Landover Hills town
election its biggest issue. He
charged during the campaign that
the towns volunteer fire depart
ment had shown obscene movies
at Embarrassing stag parties to
which minors were admitted. He
further alleged that it was done
with the knowledge of the then
Mayor Zundel.
These charges were denied by
Mr.. Zundel and fire department
officials, who then redoubled their
efforts to defeat Councilman
ODwyer and Mayor Brandt. The
campaign became so heated that
Mr.. O'Dwyer felt it advisable to
considerably increase the amount
of fire insurance on his home.
That's the background of Mayor
Brandt's election. This is his first
political venture.
He is IS and the father of three
children-Mrs. Maurine Mink of
College Park, Barry. IA, and Nor
man. Z. He lives at I'LL Allison

Mayor Brandt has lived in

when it was badly damaged by

rushed to the barn to free the
cattle.
The youth reached the barn
while the flames were still con-
fined to an adjoining milk shed.
All Of the COWS were in iron
stanchions. Young Grauel had to
release each one separately and
lead it out of the barn as the
flames ate closer. He had freed
most of the cows when he was
