Sergt. McAuliffe, through q

to help out at Fourteenth and

further. Arlington police agreed
to q request that they divert as
much traffic as possible from

The calls, taken by Sergt.

causes for the tie-ups and offered
suggestions for unsnarling them.
Shift to Trouble Spots.
Using this data. and with in
formation pouring in from men
on the streets, officers in the
communications room shifted
traffic to alternate routes and
moved cars and footmen to the
trouble spots.
The main chore was keeping
through-city traffic rolling and,
it developed, the biggest head
ache was the flow of northbound
vehicles from the Fourteenth
Street Bridge heading into Maine
avenue.
Later in the day. Chief Of
Police Robert v. Murray went up
in the helicopter for a first-hand
look at the traffic situation.
The heaviest duty during the
day for the experimental control
system came during the l1our be-
tween the time Government en-
ployes left work and the Legion
parade got underway.
