Pittsburgh, Pa. T h e
Western Pennsylvania area
to which the Croatian Frater-
nal Union members make a
fair contribution in many
fields Of endeavor is one of
the major realms Of rubber
band duckpin bowling.
A sincere organized move
ment be it in the labor ranks,
the fraternal field and even
a m ong sports participants
merits more than a passing
consideration. Personally we
believe in all three. Over the
more recent years, we have
observed that quite a number
of league and tournament
bowling scores made within
c.. F. U. sanctioned bowling
events would have come with
in the circle of the years
recognized high marks. The
comparison of which we shall
leave to a subsequent article
in the Zajednicar.
Because of a lack of mem
bership, the sanction or dues
of which is nominal, several
C.F.U. duckpin scores have
failed to get wider attention.
The American Rubberband
Duckpin Bowling Congress,
organized August 16, 1945, is
an organization of bowlers
primarily, interested in the
game of understanding
duckpin bowling, and purely
from a bowler's standpoint
Their principal aim is to i'm
prove the game from all an.

Fringe Parking Is Not Working, CTC Warns

The Districts fringe parking
program is not working, the
Capital Transit Co. warned Col.
Thomas A. Lane, the new En-
gineer Commissioner, yesterday.
Col. Lane said the warning was
delivered by E. c. GiddingS, COM
pany vice president, in view Of
the approaching end Of the 90
day experimental period in which
the company has participated.
Regular Fares Charged.
The company gave free rides
for q month from the District
parking lot at South Capitol
street and Firth Sterling avenue
to downtown Washington. Then
it began to charge regular fares
for a 90-day test period, which
ends January IA.
Patronage of the lot and of
the special bus service dropped
sharply when the free service
ended. Col. Lane quoted Mr..
Giddings as saying that present
use of the line will not sustain
the program"
Also, Mr.. Giddings insisted,
present income from the line
viii not even pay the salaries
of the bus drivers.
To Bring UP Problem.
Col. Lane, a member of the
Districts Public Utilities Com
said he will discuss the
problem with his fellow Commits
sioners.
He suggested It might be q

good idea to experiment now
with some changes in the type
Of service offered before the ex-
perimental period ends in 212
weeks.
Mr.. Giddings indicated Capt.
tai Transit will move to drop
the II morning and evening bus
trips when the experimental Pc
riod ends unless somebody
wants to subsidize them"
Fares of All Riders.
Pointing out that the extra
service will be paid for ulti-
mately through fares paid by all
riders, he declared, You can't
ask other riders to subsidize the
service on a permanent basis"
Former Engineer Commis-
sioner Louis w. Prentiss, who
fathered the fringe parking lot,
warned constantly before he was
transferred recently to COM
mand at Fort Belvoir that the
service would have to be dropped
if it were not used at a near
capacity level.
He urged that taking cars off
the downtown streets through
fringe parking would thin out
traffic and produce the effect of
additional street space and addi-
ton bridge lanes.
Chairman Robert e. McLaugh-
lin and Robert M. Weston of the
Public Utilities Commission in
sisted there was noeplan to close
the lot.

goes past that point.

Mr.. Weston insisted that he
was not discouraged at operation
of the fringe lot, contending it
was set UP merely as a pilot
lot" The full impact of the
fringe lot program. he said. cam
not be measured until there is
a ring of such parking places
entirely around the downtown
area.
He and Mr.. Mclaughlin de-
clared there was no indication
that Capital Transit wants to
abandon the project. Instead,
they said. the company appar-
emily is seeking only for some
means of offsetting the losses
of the special service.
Mr.. Mclaughlin conferred this
morning with Col. Lane, who
asked him to have the transit
company see what adjustments
they can make in schedules to
reduce losses without also re-
ducing patronage at the lot.
Of the possibility of subsidiz-
ing the service in some manner,
Col. Lane insisted it would
have to be proposed on an ex-
tremely practical basis to merit
any consideration at all.

Advisory Board Asks
Further Truck Curbs
On Double Parking

The Commissioners Traffic Ad-
visory Board yesterday recon-
mended prohibiting double park
ing of commercial vehicles, not
only at loading zones, but at any
point in a city block that has
loading zone space.
The proposal was one of sew
eral designed to ease traffic con-
gestion. All are to be presented
to the Commissioners for action
tomorrow.
Some Double Parking.
Traffic Director George E.
Keneipp pointed out that COM
mercial vehicles still would be
permitted 70 double-park to load
and unload in blocks having no
loading zones. A qualification is
that such parking must not i'm
pede the traffic flow.
Mr.. Keneipp said the proposed
change has the approval OF the
District Trucking Association.
Another change is a redefini-
tion of the word standing" as
applied to vehicular halts at
curbside. This would permit
cars to pick up or discharge
passengers. so long as no delay
is involved.
Commercial vehicles would be
prohibited from occupying load
ing zones unless actually loading
or unloading.
Private Cars Could Stop.
Also. private cars would be
permitted to stop in commercial
loading zones and bus. taxi and
sightseeing vehicle stands long
enough to pick up or discharge
passengers, so long as the proc
ess did not interfere with des-
ignated use of these areas.
Mr.. Keneipp said the proposals
were made partly as a result Of
recommendations of a consult
ant to the Public Utilities Com
mission and of a long desire"
on the part of the Traffic De-
partment.

be made after the bus left the

first area used if the; experiment
is approved by the commission.
