Purple Traffic Light
Suggested as Way
ToGet Around Law
By the Associoted Press

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. o.
City Councilman Harold Dervish-
ian of Richmond isn't seeing rec
because of the State Supreme
Courts recent "red light" de-
ciSion.
Mr.. Dervishian suggests this
solution to the problem of how
to get around a law that requires
emergency vehicles to stop at red
lights:
Change the lights to purple.
In other words, instead of stop.
ping for red lights, vehicles woulC
halt for purple lights. Bus emer.
gency vehicles-police cars, am
balances and fire engines-woulc
be under no compulsion to stor
when answering calls.
Mr.. DerviShian said he woulC
broach his suggestion to g City
Council meeting tonight.
City officials in Virginia have
been in tizZy since the Supreme
Court ruled three weeks ago thai
emergency vehicles, long used tt
running red lights, have 10 spe.
cial immunity from damage claim
when they do.

$4,000 Gift
ToSpur Work
On Cathedral
Donation Will Make
1t Possible to Go
On With Trunsept
By Cospor Nonnes

A $4,000 Christmas gift to
Washington Cathedral will enable
work on the south transept Of the
structure to continue. the Very
Rev. Francis B. Sayre. jr., Ca
thedral dean, announced today.
The gift. just received. has been
given by Mrs. Carolyn Mcknight
Christian of Minneapolis, Mimi.
in memory of her late husband.
George Chase Christian. Mr..
Christian, who died in 1919, was a
milling company president.
Mrs. Christian served for many
Years as representative of the ca
lthedral in Minnesota. She served
as Minnesota State chairman for
the National Women's Committee
that raised funds for the 'Women's
Porch" of the cathedral's north
transept.
Transept Work to Go On.
Dean Saye said the gift will
enable work on the now half
finished transept to be carried
forward. It will eventually COM
prise two crowning pinnacles OF
the south facade. These pinnacles.
designed by cathedral architect.
Philip Hubert Frohman, will be
48 feet high. Their height from
the ground will be 100 feet. ap-
lproximately as high above sea level
as the Washington Monument.
Pinnacles are vital part OF
Gothic construction. serving as
weights to counteract the thrust
of the vaults and to steady the
perforated balustrade which will
occupy the space between them.
On the south transept facade
this balustrade will protect a
glass inclosed platform providing
a view across Washington to Vir-
ginia. Visitors will reach this
point by means of a staircase in
one pinnacle and an elevator in
the other.
Perfect Offering"
Roughly shaped blocks Of In
diana limestone will be carried up
to the required position. The in
Itricate carving in the architects
design of the pinnacles will be
done after they are in place.
Dean Sayre in a statement
called Mrs. Christians gift "a per-
feet offering in the true spirit Of
Christmas"
"The cathedral is being built
by Americans everywhere as a
symbol of their faith in God. This
gift in memory Of Mrs. Christians
late husband makes it possible to
continue building at time when
all construction was about to
cease. .....
1--WE at the cathedral are, Of
course, thrilled that work on the
building can continue. 1t means
that a crew of skilled artisans
and builders will not have to be
disbanded. It also means that
the expense of erecting and later
tearing down temporary cover
ings for the unfinished work can
be avoided"
Mrs. Christian in 1929, also as
a memorial to her husband, placed
the altar and furnishings in the
cathedraps beautiful Chapel Of
