Reorganization Plan
Killing Traffic Bureau
Stirs go Employees

A plan to reorganize the Dis
trict Vehicles and Traffic Depart
ment out Of existence today was
repeatedly under study by Gov
ernment officials.
Traffic Director George E.
Keneipp has been handed a
rough draft of a reorganization
survey conducted by the District
management Office since last De-
cember. Mr.. Keneipp today,
however, would neither confirm
nor deny reports that his de-
partment is slated for disband-
ing. But he said the report
"has got my people all stirred
up."
Schuyler Lowe, director of
general administration and
overseer of reorganization, like
wise refrained from comment.
Mr.. Lowe did acknowledge, how
ever, that Mr.. Keneipp has been
handed his departmental reor-
ganization report, and will con-
fer with management officials
on it later this week.
Directors Views Sought.
Purpose of this discussion will
be to iron out any misunder-
standings and to get the traffic
directors views on reshuffling
plans.
While Mr.. Keneipp's future
status is uncertain, and none of
the reorganizers would comment
on it, it appeared today that no
matter what happens to his de-
partment efforts will be made
to find some top administrative
post for him should the reor-
ganization proposal be carried
out.
William K. Holl, management
officer in direct charge OF the
reorganization program, declared
that Mr.. Keneipp is widely re-
garded as lone of the city's best
administrators" Mr.. Holl re-
fused to say. however, what ad-
ministrative post might be found
for the traffic director.
It was understood that the
new proposal calls for trans
ferring the existing departments
driver licensing and vehicle reg
istration functions to the Po-
lice Department. and the traffic
study and signal installation
and maintenance functions to
the Highway Department.
Called GOOD RumOr."
One responsible top official
characterized these details as a
good rumor."
The Vehicles and Traffic De-
partment was set up by act of
Congress in 1925. There is no
question that the District Com
misSioners have full authority
under the Reorganization Act of
1852 to set aside, in effect, the
1925 organization act.
The department now has 23O
employees, ITO Of whom are clas-
sifled with the balance per diem
workers. Mr.. Keneipp, traffic
director since 1946, gets a $4,000
annual salary.

3:3O p. m. at Harrison School as the fifth
speaker in series of addresses and forums
on the subject Improving the Maladjust-
ed Children in Our Schools" which has been
sponsored in 1928 by the Professional
Study and Guidance Committee of the Har-
rison School Faculty
Chaplain Smith discussed, in very in
teresting manner, certain Embellishments
resulting from wrong applications or un-
healthy situations in individuals related to
misconceptions or mistaken ideas of re-
ligion He stated that he came as a student
or seeker, attempting to find and state dis
tinct contributions that could be made that
will have some effect on well-adjusted re-
ligious lives"
Rev. Smith stated in his opening of in
troductory remarks tina" everything is al
right in the religious area, and we will not
refer to the spiritually maladjusted child.
Rather we will refer to the religiously
maladJusted child. AS to religion l might
say that everything is all right Religion
cannot be maladjusted. One cannot be re-
ligiously maladjusted. But think we might
as we'll admit the obvious, there are in
dividuals that are maladjusted insofar as
their religious lives are concerned.
Rev. Smith spoke of two schools of
thought with regard to religion and stressed
happy medium or middle ground between
the two, in these words:
I'm discussion like this, one group is
likely to feel that religion contributes to
ones mental health. There will be one group
who will think that and there will be an
other group who will join with theFreudian
Idea that all religion is a compulsory neu-
rosis.' think that between those two we
have to get common ground. All religion
is not conducive to mental health Nor
would we say that all religion is a COM
pulsive neurosis. We have to get down to
analyze situation and think we can agree
that some religion, some types of religion,
are conducive to neurosis."
After giving some instances of individu-
ais whose religious lives were maladjusted,
which were of great significance and value
in practical application, both by teachers
and the community, as whole, Rev. Smith
concluded his address by saying:
"I think that child should realize that
in this world we should always have an
ideal. We don't always attain it, but we
should always retain it. And think that if
