about 25 per cent during rush
hours since the unbalanced lane
system was adopted October Z.
the Department of Vehicles and
Traffic announced today.
Under the system, four lanes
of traffic are permitted south
bound in the morning and two
lanes northbound. In the late
afternoon rush the Setup is re-
Versed.

northbound traffic in the late

Mai. Gen. Glen E. Edgerton,

nothing to do with the proposed
reorganization Of the bank.

sent to Congress a plan to re-
organize the bank. A major pro-
vision of the reorganization
would substitute a managing di-
rector for the present four-man
board of directors. It would also
abolish the banks advisory
board.
Gen. Edgerton told reporters
he knew of the plan in advance
of it's announcement in the
newspapers. But he added he
did not know whether the other
directors were aware Of the
reorganization move. There were

Bullock S Retirement
Before Trial Is Held

The District Government yes
terday asked Federal Judge
Alexander Holtzoff not to retire
Inspector Albert I. Bullock until
the suspended policeman faces
trial board action.
The request was made in an
answer to a preliminary injunc-
ton brough by Bullock through
Attorneys Charles E. Ford, H.

city to retire the policeman on
half his $7,000-a-year salary.
In a brief filed by Assistant

a trial board hearing. scheduled
for June 8, would bar his retire
ment.
Suspended in 1852.
Bullock has been under Sus-

his appearance before the Sen

The Senators attempted, unSuc-

Quoting a New York case, the
District contended Bullock's right
to a pension would be lost by his
own delinquencies, should the
trial board find against him.
However, Judge Holtzoff told
Mr.. Gasch on Wednesday he
would have to be convinced cal
most beyond reasonable doubt
before he would withhold the
pension.
He told the District lawyer he
did not feel he would be bound
by a similar New York case de-
cided in 1895.

B mai B. 'rith Speaker
Calls School Attacks
A Threat 10 Youths

The spiritual and cultural i'm
poverishment of American youth
can result from attacks being
made on public schools under
the guise of anti-communism,
the triennial convention of B'nai
Birth was told last night.
Henry Edward Schultz, ma
tional chairman of the Anti-De-
famation League of B'nai Birth
and vice chairman of the Board
Of Higher Education of New York
City. warned the convention.
Mr.. Schultz spoke during a
SABBATH service at Adas Israel
Synagogue, Connecticut avenue
and Porter street, marking the
opening of the convention in
Washington.
Communism Is recognized by
all Americans as the great
enemy of freedom and must be
fought as ruthlessly and hard
as all forms of totalitarianism, "
Mr.. Schultz said. Communism
is the enemy and not our great
liberal and democratic institu-
tions, yet in the past few years
these have been precisely the
institutions under attack"
Mr.. Schultz said those in the
Anti-Defamation League have
had the opportunity to witness
attacks on our public schools.
"We have seen professional
bigots. educational reactionaries
and super-patriots join together
all in the name of fighting
communism to attack our public
schools" Mr.. Schultz contin-
ued. "We have seen them leave
fear and prejudice in their wake
and undo some of the advances
of science of education. We be-
lieve their efforts, if successful,
will result in the spiritual and
cultural impoverishment of gen.
erations of American youth"

operator and a founder of a BIZ

tee, told a meeting of the group

Court presided at the meeting in

Four suggestions for the cam
paign were offered at the session:
/. The group should sponsor
the formation of boys clubs in
the two counties.
2. An employment bureau
should be set up this summer to
act as intermediary between
merchants and the schools;
students seeking summer work
could apply to the bureau.
3. Elementary schools in the
counties should be encouraged to
organize anti-vandalism pro-
grams.
4. Since many vandalism
problems involve junior high
students, they should have ar
opportunity to hear senior high
students explain the problems;
senior high students and leaders
should form groups for the pur-
pose.

Decatur House
Preservation
Now Assured
Mrs. Truxtun BeuIe
Pluns to Endow
Historic Mansion

The future of Decatur House,
the brick mansion facing
Lafayette Square at jackson
place and H street NV, with
its associations of history and
early elegance in the Capital,
is now assured.
Mrs. Truxtun Beale, its owner.
authorized a public announce
ment yesterday at a small re-
ception of her intention to be-
queath the property to the Ma
tional Trust for Historic Pres
ervation, with an endowment
for its upkeep.
She will continue to live in
the house. whose antiquity she
has carefully preserved. She
changed the chandeliers from
gas to electricity only two years
ago.
Reception for Trustees.
The reception was for the
trustees of the national trust,
which lis financed in great part
by Paul Mellon and his sister
Ailsa. David E. Finley of the
National Gallery of Art is chair
man.
The coachhouse of the man
sion. facing H street. is already a
museum. It is operated by the
Naval Historical Foundation as
the Truxtun Decatur Naval
Museum on a 50-year lease.
The house was built in 1919
by Commodore Stephen Decatur
from prize money he obtained
for the ships he captured in the
war with Tripoli and the War
of 1912. In 1920 he died there
from a wound suffered in a duel
at Bladensburg with Commodore
James Barron.
The house was designed by
Benjamin H. Latrobe, architect
of the Capitol and of st. Johns
Church, also on Lafayette
Square. Nine years ago Mrs.
Beale had the entrance restored
to Latrobe's original design. She
had come into possession of II
original drawings, signed by the
architect and dated 1918.
ENJOYS Lived in House.
Occupants of the house after
Decatur included Baron Hyde de
Melville, the French Minister;
Baron de Tuyll, the Russian
Minister; Henry Clay. Martin
Van Buren and Edward Liv-
ingston, all Secretaries of State;
George M. Dallas, Polk's Vice
President for whom the city in
Texas is named, and Sir Charles
Richard Vaughan, the British
Minister.
After the Civil War it was pur-
chased by Gen, Edward Fitz-
gerald Beale. a Californian who
had been in on the first gold
strike in 1849 and brought the
news East with a bag of the
metal to prove it. His interest
in the house probably was die
tated by the fact that he was a
grandson of Commodore Thomas
Truxtun, predecessor of Decatur
in the early United States Navy.
His son Truxtun died in 1886
after an extensive diplomatic
career.
