Cabs Showed Under
By Big Demand;
Callers Wait Hours

You weren't the only one who
waited in vain for a cab at your
door this morning.
Cab companies unanimously
reported they couldn't fill any,
where near all the orders. They
gave these reasons. among
others:
/. Some cab drivers took one
look at the weather, rolled over
and went back to sleep. They
were in the minority.
2. Some drivers started work.
ing, crawled and skidded for an
hour or so, and went back home
They. too. were in the minority
3. Some cab drivers. equipped
with snow tires or chains. had
to go into streets where motorists
had feared to venture out. Re-
sult-they got stuck.
4. Traffic moved so slowly that
the usual trip took two or three
times as long, with the result
that orders piled up. This was
the reason given most frequently
by harassed dispatchers.
AS early as $50 am. cab COM
panies were warning callers they
would have to wait at least half
an hour. BY 8 am. this had
changed to IAN hours delay" or
IAN indefinite delay"
One dispatcher said callers
were using every excuse in the
book to get a cab. They said
they had to get to a hospital or
catch q train. This did them no
good. Since the dispatcher
didn't know when he could pro-
vide a cab. he took no "emer-
gency" calls.
Another dispatcher said peo-
pie would call and then decline
a cab when they heard they
would have to wait an hour.
Then, he said, they would call
back and say all the other COM
panies said the same thing and
they guessed they'd just wait till
Q cab came.

Chains Called Better
Than Snow Tires

Reinforced tire chains are far
more trustworthy for driving on
snow or ice than any type Of
tire treads, A. Julian Brylawski.
public education committee
chairman of the Commissioners
Traffic Advisory Board, said to-
day.
In fact, a letter he received
from the National Safety Council
called inertia or gyro-type anti
skid devices complete phonies"
in the prevention of skidding on
snow or ice.
This is despite the sale of sew
eral million dollar worth ION
that false and dangerously MIS-
leading claim, the letter said.
The National Safety Council
report made this comparison of
the same car travelling at the
speed of 20 miles an hour:
On hard packed snow, conven-
tional synthetic rubber tires stop
at about 70 feet, and natural
rubber, about 81 feet. Winterized
tires will take about 60 feet. Tire
chains will stop under the same
conditions at 40 feet.

xanten S Battle Hard 7;
'HoIyMess,' He Says;
More Troubles Due

Sanitation Supt. William A
Xanten was fighting tough bat
tie against the snow today, and
he predicted more troubles to
come.
The District called in contract
help last night for the first time
since the provision has been part
Of the three-year-old snow plan.
Mr.. Xanten's headaches came
from inexperienced crews oper-
ating the plows. the quality of
the snowstorm, and delays in
getting out the equipment Sun
day night.
This is going to be a bad
one. a holy mess" predicted the
sanitation superintendent this
morning. I've seen it before"
Experience Denied Crews.
One trouble is that such storms
come so infrequently that the
crews do not get experience in
coping with them.
And the present storm, said
Mr.. Xanten. is not an ideal train
ing ground. Early sleet formed
a hard base for the snow and a
predicted cold spell promised to
prolong the icy problem.
At 6 pm. yesterday, before the
snow fell. the District started
loading sand. BY 9 am. today
some 5000 tons of sand had been
put down. Mr.. Xanten antici-
pated another 5000 would be
used.
Scrapers were ordered out, be-
ginning at IL pm. Ninety CITY,
owned scrapers were mostly out
by 4 am. The rs scrapers under
private contract were ordered
out at the same time. but not
all were on duty by 4 am.
Main Hauling Job Tonight.
In addition. 1856 trucks were
sanding and hauling snow. but
MI. Xanten said the main haul
ing job would not be done until
tonight. so as not to hold up
traffic.
Some 1000 men were employed
in the huge job. which included
sanding of some 800 miles of city
streets and blowing a like num-
ber in the downtown area. Plows
were called in at 9:45 am. until
tonight.
Unlike the snow experience of
last November, which was fol-
lowed by sunshine and fast dis
appearance of the fall, the pres
ent snowfall promised to stay
around for a while.
Mr.. Xanten faced a problem
of having no replacement crews.
Men who have been on the job
since midnight probably will
have to stay on. with a minimum
amount of rest.
| Spreading of salt to melt the
snow must be kept to a minimum
here. Mr.. Xanten said. because
of the danger of short circuting
the underground third rail and
possible damage to streets.

Bill Asks 5O%

For DC. Roads
$862.5 Million Sought
: In Mack Measure
For Stotes' Highways
BY Haroid B. Roaers

Federal aid to highways in the
District for the next fiscal year
would be increased by about so
per cent under q bill introduced
today by Representative Mack.
Republican, of Washington.
The Districts share for the
year beginning July would be
raised by the measure from its
present authorized appointment
of $3.298.l23 to $4.947,184. To
get the Federal funds the Dis
trict Is required to match them
dollar for dollar. IL
The measure. authorizing
more than a half billion dollar
expansion in the Nations high
way and bridge building program
for the next fiscal year, was ex-
pected to be referred to the
House Public Works Committee,
of which Mr. Mack is a member.
Maryland should get an in
crease under the new legislation
from its present apportionment
of $5,998. TAG to $8,S87,119.
Virginia would be increased
from $10.892 ,628 to SIG, 1888. .952.
Congress already has provided
$575 million in Federal highway
funds for ALLEGATION to the States
during the next fiscal year. Mr..
Mack points out. He would in
crease his figure to $862.5 million
and make the new total available
to the States for the next seal
year.
Should the measure become
law and the money be appropri-
ated, the District Commissioners
would be faced with finding the
matching money.
Mr.. Mack figures his estimate
Of half million dollar expansion
l nthe program on the basis of
necessary matching of Federal
funds by the States. the District
and the territories.
The Federal Government col
lected from its taxes on gasoline
and diesel oil $867 million last
year, Mr.. Mack said. or about
SIS million more than the total
highway fund proposed for the
coming year by his bill.
THE Federal Government"
he emphasized, should spend
on highways every dollar it OBJ
tains from motorists in Federal
gas and diesel oil taxes. None of
it should be diverted from high
way Improvement to other pur~
poses"
The $3,298, 1913 authorized the
District in Federal aid during
the next fiscal year is broken
down this way:
Highway primary system, ST.
206. .563; secondary roads, $804,-
375: urban highways, $1,165.3 .310,
and interstate system, $121,875.
Funds for the Federal-aid
primary system and the inter-
state system are apportioned
among States and the District
on a basis of area. population
and mileage of post roads, each
given equal weight. Secondary
road money is figurde in the
same manner. except that rural
population Gin the case of State)
is used rather than total popu-
lation. Urban populations are
used to figure funds fro urban

Forgiveness
Blood-Stuined Note
Found on Body Of
| Killer Of Women

A note asking Gods forgive
ness was found on the bullet.
riddled body of 34-year -old WAL
ter S. Clark, who killed two
women and wounded three men
in Fairfax County Saturday be-
fore he was felled by police fire.
The note was found in the
deadman's topcoat pocket. It
was stained with the blood from
many bullet holes in his body.
Fairfax Detective David Eike
said the note read:
II hope God will forgive me.
Someday. but I loved her so
much, and she loved me but
everybody was in the way.
Notice please some good FBI
agents investigate Judge Fitz-
gerald in Fairfax. He caused
this tragedy too.
"Mr. Moore. William Brown
hit your cab fix him.
Darling. I'll be with you some
place."
Police said Clark probably
wrote the note while hiding in
the abandoned chicken shed
where a police posse found him
and shot him to death.
Shotgun Used in Slayings.
Clark, armed with a shotgun.
had killed Mrs. Lorraine Schultz,
25. of Old Telegraph road. Fair
fax County, and her mother,
Mrs. Edna Belle Brown. Al.
He wounded Herman J.
Schultz. 81. husband of the
younger dead woman, and her
brother, who is the William
Brown mentioned in the note.
After the mass shooting, q
posse led by police searched
the area for Clark. He was
found by Fairfax Detective Dem
mis- O'Neil In the old chicken
house.
Clark fired, wounding Detec-
tive O'Neil in the shoulder.
The loved one Clark spoke Of
in the note was Mrs. Schultz,
police said.
Mrs. Schultz Denied 1t.
He often followed her and in
sisted that she loved him. police
said. although Mrs. Schultz de-
MED that at q court hearing six
months ago.
The court hearing was a result
of Clark's first attempt to shoot
up the Schultz family. police
said.
Mr.. and Mrs. Schultz told
police that Clark fired on them
! from ambush near their home,
and cut the tires of their auto
mobile. They got a warrant for
him.
Pleaded Guilty to Assault.
The case was heard by Judge
Robert c. Fitzgerald. in Fairfax
Trial Justice Court. He recalled
that Clark pleaded guilty to an
assault charge which was re-
duced from an attempted murder
charge. Judge Fitzgerald said
he fined Clark 500 and gave him
a suspended jail sentence with
instructions to stay away from
the Schultzes.
Police theorized that Clark'S
anger at Judge Fitzgerald was
caused by the instructions to
leave Mr.. and Mrs. Schultz alone.
Mr.. Brown was treated and re-
leased, but had to return to the
hospital because his severely
wounded foot would not stop
bleeding.
Detective O'Neil also is still
hospitalized with shotgun
wound in the upper arm and
shoulder. The hospital today
said his condition was good.
Police said they spoke with
relatives of Clark yesterday and
were advised that the dead kill.

OF the taxicab and reported that
there was a dent in the cab which
Clark blamed on Mr.. Brown.
