Surprised Architect
Gets Job Of DRAFTING
Eisenhower Stand

A pessimistic architect, who had
to borrow a pencil, last night won
the competition for designing the
presidential reviewing stand for
the inauguration of President
elect Eisenhower.
Robert A. .Weppner, jr., As, of
1913 West Woodbine street, Chevy
Chase, Md, was so sure he didn't
have a chance to win the stiff con-
test that he left early and had to
be notified at his home.
The competition was sponsored
by the Washington Chapter of
the American Institute of Archi-
tects. It was held in st. Johns
Church parish hall, Sixteenth and
H streets NV.
Mr.. Weppner. who has worked
on many important buildings here
and in Baltimore, including the
reviewing stand for the late Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1896,
had to borrow the pencil from
Thomas Locraft of the firm of
Murphy & Locraft.
He says his winning design is
contemporary, and monumental
in character. The 80-foot build
ing incorporates a wood frame
and probably also will use orna-
mental plywood in it's construc-
ton. 1t will contain four radio
booths, a reception room behind
where the President will stand, a
lobby and bullet-proof glass.
Mr.. Weppner is with the firm of
Buckler. Fenhagen, Meyer &
Ayers in Baltimore, committing
daily.

Fowler Sees School
Fund Shift Doomed

Budget Officer Walter L. Fowler
today threw cold water on Schoo.
Supt. Hobart M. Corning's pro.
posal to hire emergency Negro
teachers on a def1cit-financing
basis.
Mr.. Fowler said there is little
prospect the plan can be carried
out unless there is some unex-
pected encouragement from Cap
itol Hill. So far there hasn't been
any. he said.
The budget officer and DR.. Corn
ing talked again yesterday with
legislative officials, but they founC
no precedent for the Corning plan
The school superintendent last
week asked the District for per.
mission to hire 20 teachers imme.
diately, even though the schools
have no money for them. Then
in January. Congress would b,
asked to transfer $35 900 in sur.
plus school construction funds tt
wipe out the teacher deficit. The
money can't be transferred with.
out special legislation.
The apparent failure of thi.
scheme probably means the super
intendent will have to dismis,
some surplus temporary white
teachers in order to make theil
salaries available to the Negro
schools. He hasn't disclosed any
plan to do so, but the Board O.
Education has called for som,
remedy for the Negro teacher
crisis by its monthly meeting to.
morrow.

Commissioners Back
Keneipp in Citizens
Demand for Custer

The District commissioners said
today they have no intention of
firing Traffic Director George E.
Keneipp because of traffic IA
talities at a dangerous Southeast
intersection.
The Anacostia Citizens Associ-
alton had forwarded a resolution
to the city heads demanding Mr..
Keneipp's removal for failing to
install traffic signals at the juno
ture of Fourteenth street, Mime
sofa avenue and Good Hope road
S.E. A seven-year-old boy was
killed there last week by a hit
and-run driver.
John H. Fallon, association
president, pointed out that an
other person has been killed there,
and declared that citizens ap-
pealS have fallen on deaf ears" ."
Mr.. Keneipp has answered the
complaints by pointing out that
funds are not available for in
stalling signals at a number of
dangerous intersections.
Siding with the traffic chief,
Commissioner F. Joseph Donohue
pointed out that in the congress
sional hearings on the current
District budget the legislators
recommended cutting 100000
from the requested amount for
traffic signals. Part of this sum
later was restored, but the city
consistently has lacked money for
necessary installations.
Furthermore, Commissioner
Donohue declared, Mr.. Keneipp is
one of the most effective public
servants in the District and his
record for traffic safety is out
standing.
1T is unfortunate that Mr..
Keneipp should be charged with
the responsibility of a death at
an uncontrolled intersection" the
Commissioner said. adding that
even a traffic signal is no guar
antee against reckless driving.

Hershey Predicts Change
In Deferment Regulations

Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey
director of Selective Service, in
dicated last night that the new
Congress may change the college
student deferment regulations.
The general spoke to more than
200 students at CASTOR Hall
Georgetown University.
He said selective service laws
will have to be frightened in the
future, as military manpower
needs are increased. He noted,
however. he did not know just
what the requirements will be.
Over $4,000 draftees a month
will be needed to replace outgoing
members of the armed forces,
Gen. Hershey said. He estimated
that more than a million men will
be eligible to leave the services
in the fiscal year 1928.
Gen. Hershey said the low birth
rates Of the 1930s helps to ac-
count for the shortage of poten-
tial draftees In the next year.

Catholic Stand
On Schools Hit
BY Baptists
Dr.. WiIIinghom Uses
Bishops Statement
In Convention Speech

Two Baptist leaders today
took issue with the stand of the
Roman Catholic bishops of Amer
lea that the Government should
give financial aid to church sup
ported schools.
Joseph w. Dawson, executive
director of the Baptist Joint Com
mittee on Public Affairs, issued
a statement saying denial of Fed
eral funds to church schools did
not mean the Government "is
or should be hostile to religion"
DR.. Edward B. Willingham. pas
tor of the National Baptist Memo
rial Church. used the subject as
his theme in an address to the
District Baptist Convention to-
day.
1T is not the function of Gov
ernment to aid religion financially
or to participate in the affairs Of
church." DR.. Dawson said in his
statement.
The statements were a reply
to 3.000-Word statement is
sued by the Catholic bishops
after their annual meeting here
last week.
Policy Called Unfair.
The biShops-without naming
anyone-had deplored what they
called efforts to divorce religion
from education and "to remove
all influence of religion from pub
lie life"
They declared that denial of
such services as unsupported bus
transportation for parochial
schools "can be regarded as an
utterly unfair and short-sighted
policy" The bishops also ex-
pressed alarm over what they
called efforts to create a monop-
oily Of education for a secularized
public school,"
DR.. Dawson said the bishops
statement was "marred by unfor-
tunate attacks on our American
system Of government and pub
lie education"
Points to Founders.
1T is plain from the bishops
paper" he said, that the Roman
Catholic Church is, after $50
years, still arguing for a policy
in Government that was COM
pletely rejected by the founders of
the Republic in the very begin
ming"
DR.. Dawson said he knew of no
Protestant who had opposed the
right of any church to establish
schools or of any parent to send
children to such schools.
Mon Catholics as a rule" he
added. "are all out for church
schools so long as the churches
pay for them and do not ask tax
funds in any effort to support
them"
Terms Discussed.
DR.. Dawson, in his statement.
said the Catholic bishops Con-
tinue to use the word secular as
II it were synonymous with athe-
ism or antireligion. Inevitably
they leave the impression that
they are using the word as smoke
screen with which to kill the pub
lie schools"
DR.. Willingham said the bishops
mean that if the Government does
not reach down into it's Treasury
and offer money to church-related
schools. it is failing.
DR.. Willingham further declared
that those who lay hold upon our
freedom and restrict the express
sion of it will clip the wings Of
our faith"

|Donohue Says District
Is Ready TO Tie In Road
Plans With Maryland

The District is ready to tie ir
it's highway development with
that proposed by the State OF
Maryland, Commissioner F. Jo-
seph Donohue said last night.
Mr.. Donohue discussed the
Maryland 12-year highway plan
on the weekly Your Commission
ers' Report" over The Evening
Star television station. WMAL-TV
He was the only one of the three
Commissioners present.
Mr.. Donohue said a bridge be.
tween Washington and Alexandra
is a necessity, and should be the
Districts contribution to the area
highway development.
This bridge and roads leading to
it would enable heavy traffic to
bypass Washington, he said. Mr.
Donohue did not discuss whether
the Alexandria bridge should be
built before others across the Po-
tomac River that have been pro-
posed-one at E street and the
other at Nebraska avenue or at
Cabin John.
The Commissioner also said he
favored the use of lie detectors on
public employees but only on vol
unfairly basis. He admitted any
evidence produced by such investi-
gatory tactics could not be used
in court but said submission to use
of the machine should be an obli-
cation of public employees when
ever an investigation of wrong
doing is under way.
He said there was no special
method set up in the District gov
ernment for loyalty clearances. He
added that he considered the wa
ter department the most sensitive
District department because of the
possibility of germ warfare or
sabotage.

Citizens Back
Point Penalty
Traffic Plan
System Of Revoking
Licenses Indorsed
By Advisory Council

The so-called Connecticut point
system of revoking drivers licenses
has the support of the Citizens
Advisory Council, the Commis-
sioners disclosed today.
The advisory body recommend
ed adoption of the program by a
vote of 8 to l, with j. c. Turner
dissenting. In a discussion of the
question last week, Mr.. Turner
said he fears that the system
would discriminate against drivers
of commercial vehicles who are on
the street more than the average
driver.
The program, also favored by
Traffic Director George E. Ke-
neipp. evaluates each traffic Of
fense according to its gravity.
When seven points are reached,
the license would be suspended.
Ten points would mean revocation
under the program prepared by
the traffic department.
Schedule of Points.
The system follows in principle
rather than to the letter the pro-
gram in use in Connecticut. Mr.
Keneipp has submitted this sched-
ule of points that might represent
the traffic ofense:
One point each for blocking in
tersections, failing to give proper
signal and any moving violation,
not contributing to an accident,
which is specifically listed; two
points for passing a red light or
stop sign; violatings contributing
to accidents with collateral for
feiture or a fine amounting to less
than $25 (three points, $25 to
$40 Give points,, $50 to $74 (six
points,, $75 or more (seven
points.
Three points for speeding 10 to
20 miles per hour over the legal
speed, or unreasonable speed; four
points for speeding more than 20
miles an hour over legal rate;
seven points for speeding more
than 40 miles an hour over legal
speed; five points for failure to
report an accident; five points for
leaving after colliding, no personal
injury, and 10 points where per-
sonal injuries are involved;
Five points for reckless driving
with no personal injury, 10 points
personal injury;
Ten points for each of the fol-
lowing: Operating after suspen-
sion or revocation, obtaining or
attempting to obtain a permit
by Misrepresentation; physically.
mentally or morally disqualified;
lending or altering a permit;
negligent homicide, manslaughter
or assault by automobile convic-
ton; driving under the influence
of liquor or narcotic drugs.
Urge Raising of Points.
In forwarding the recommends
ton to the Commissioners, the
council suggested that the points
requiring suspension and revoca-
ton should be raised to total eight
and IL respectively.
The Commissioners adopted a
suggestion by the council that a
public hearing be held before it's
decided whether to permit the
Capital Transit Co. to add more
oversize buses to it's fleet. The new
buses would be used on five addi-
tional lines here-Glover Park
Trinidad. Anacostia Congress
Heights, Takoma-Petworth Ex-
press. P street-LeDroit Park, and
the HI and H-2 crosstown route.
The big buses now are operating
on three lines. Date for the hear
ing will be set later.
