Auto Driving Better
Under Point System,
Motor Farley Hears

Commissioner Samuel Spencer
said today automobile driving in
Washington has improved since
the city adopted the point system
for traffic violations.
In an address to the Eastern
Conference of Motor Vehicle Ad-
ministrators at the Mayflower
Hotel, Mr.. Spencer said the point
system is working very we'll. Pre-
siding over the 33d annual con-
ference as it's president is George
E. Keneipp. director of vehicles
and traffic in the District.
There are fewer revocations Of
drivers permits now, Commis-
sioner Spencer said, as I'VE are
getting to people a little earlier
and they are mending their
ways"
He expressed the hope that
fringe parking here, to be
launched soon, will mean more
downtown parking places. He
cited the new Central Traffic Vio-
lations Bureau, being set up
under Municipal Court as time
saver for both police and public.
He said the time policemen have
to spend now waiting on court
cases will be reduced.
Commissioner SPENCER said
public relations will be improved,
as people will not have to 60
down to precinct stations and be
booked like criminals. He said
there has been a great deal OF
trouble enforcing the law against
out-of-State violatorS.
California Registrar Of We
hicles Albert j. eglia, president
American Association Of Motor
Vehicle Administrators, attacked
the vast number of traffic safety
groups that make no real con-
tribution.

The sirens Of police and fire
vehicles will be added to the
chorus Of electronic signal blasts
when the District holds its first
public air raid drill June II.
John e. Fondahl, director Of
civil defense here. said the Si-
rens will be used in those areas
where the regular electronic de-
vices cannot be heard. The CITY,
wide alarm will be sounded at
1901 am, with the all-clear
coming 10 minutes later. Public
institutions such as schools have
been asked to put their alarm
procedures into effect at 1901
am. whether or not signals can
be heard in their area,
The city now has 80 electronic
signal transmitters in operation.
Another 13 of a larger type are
being ordered, but will not be
available for the June u test.

including Maryland and Vir-
ginia, had similar authority.

death of a trustee, but the build
ing and savings and loan aSso-
Citations cannot. ...t.-
The measure also was in

Lawrence M. Nathan, presi-
dent of Bruce Hunt, Inc, 613
Fourteenth street N.W.-"We in
the mems wear trade feel that the
absence of a Fair Trade law in
the District has us sitting on top
of an economic volcano. To date
we have been fortunate that the
scourge of legitimate retailing
the discount houseS-have kept
out of mems apparel"
George H. Frates, Washington
representative, National AsSocia-
ton of Retail Druggists-'F Fair
Trade prevents monopoly, be-
cause in order to operate under
a Fair Trade act the manufac-
turer's product must be in free
and open competition with an
item of similar character-thus
competition is placed where it
belongs. at the manufacturers
level. LoSs-leader selling is one
of the most remorseless enemies
of healthy competition"
Fred Walker, National Appli-
ance and Radio -TeleviSion
Dealers Association "A new
and cancerous growth sud-
denly appears. This is an un-
holy scheme whereby the largest
discount houses take advantage
of the fact that the District
does not have a Fair Trade law
by establishing a national base of
operations in the District which
serves them as a legal island of
immunity from the danger Of
State Fair Trade law violation
suits and retaliatory litigation. "
David Mann, president, Greater
washington Retail jewelers. As
sociation-"Every one will bene-
fit (if the bill is passed.. Not
only will the market be stabilized
but the restoration of a margin
of profit to the businessman will
result in better employment,
higher tax income and other
benefits. The appliance in
dustry of Washington has al
ready been badly damaged. jew
elry stores will follow suit unless
the vicious trends now extant
can be corrected"
Cecil D. Kaufman, president,
Kay Jewelry Stores. Inc.-''My
appearance before this commit
tee is two-fold in purpose; first,
to obtain the protection of fair
trade here and second to pre-
vent the undermining of fair
trade everywhere because Of the
situation here in the District Of

economic existence of hundreds
of small merchants here and is
undermining the national fabric
of fair trade"

The Senate District Business
subcommittee wound up its
hearings on a Fair Trade law to-
day, as proponents called for
protection of the small business
man and opponents criticized the
measure as symbol of "the pub
lie be damned"
John Henry Fallon, represent
ing the Federation of Citizens
Associations, said the public is
solidly against Fair Trade
under which manufacturers, by
contracting with some retailers,
could set retail prices on their
products for the city.
cit is the effort of selfish mi
nority groups to feather their
nest at the expense of John @
Citizen" Mr.. Fallon said.
"The citizens of the District
look to this subcommittee
and the Congress to protect the
interest of the people of this
community in the realiza-
ton that these people can do
nothing to protect themselves, "
he said.
Opposing Witnesses Scored.
Mrs. Clarence D. Wright, rep
resenting the National Associa-
tion of Consumers and North
west Council of Citizens Asso-
Citations, called the witnesses
who came from New York to
testify for the pending bill car
petbaggers."
"The horrible thing" she said
'is that the money being paid
for all these people here is being
taken from the pockets of the
consumer. The profits are being
turned against the people from
whose pockets they are taken"
She told Senator Beall., Re-
publican, of Maryland, who sal
as the subcommittee, that she
hoped his State would repeal
its Fair Trade law.
Mrs. Ernest w. Howard, OF
the District Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs, declared that the
spread of Fair Trade is like "ar
epidemic of some terrible dis
ease, or forest fire.
1.-THE fact that it is in Al
States" she said, ''is no reason
to put it on the District"
Opposition Cites Discounts.
Trade organization represen.
tatives declared discount houses
here lure in customers with ad'
vertising of nationally known
goods at low prices and thel
try to switch the customer Il
another item on which the mark
up is higher.
Albert White, Representing
Dalmo Sales Co., contradicte,
this claim. saying his store coul'
. not afford the time and effor
required to sell off-brand mer
chandise. His markup is tn
same on each item in a particu
lar category, he said.
The Fair Trade law would en-
