Board Would Tighten
Curb on Playground
Drinking, Smoking

The District Recreation Board
wants to tighten up its regula-
tons against juveniles smoking,
drinking and gambling on play
grounds.
The board yesterday accepted
a committee report spelling out
the new restrictions. It will take
final action on April 13 on the
recommended changes in the
bylaws.
In other action the board set
2:30 pm Tuesday as the time
for special hearing on a con-
troversial proposal giving the
superintendent power to open
white schools to Negro civic
groups after school hours. So
many persons have applied to
be heard that the board felt it
needed the special session.
Speakers will be allowed five
minutes if they submit a written
statement in advance.
The smoking and drinking
regulations provoked some diff
ferences among board members.
Walter Fowler, District budget
officer, said the new rule pro-
hlbltlng "use of tobacco by all
children and youth" at recrea-
ton centers would be too vague.
He asked that youth" be de-
fined as under Is years of age"
Alcohol Breath.
Miss Alice c. Hunter said the
eXlS ing rule against drinking
is also loose
What about excluding chill
dren with the odor of alcohol
on their breath?" she said. They
may not bring the liquor with
them. but they bring it in them.
1t ought to be controlled"
Recreation Supt. Milo F..
Christensen said the bylaws
already contain a provision
against "disorderly conduct"
But that's not enough" said
Miss Hunter. "They may be very
peaceful and very calm. but they
still smell very loudly"
Other new restrictions would
forbid gambling in any form in
recreation centers and Would
prohibit department employees
from smoking on duty at units
where there is a youth program.
Mr.. Fowler asked the board
if an employe could have
cigarette during her lunch hour,
or would that still be ION duty?"
He said that. for regulations to
be effective. they should be both
reasonable and precise.
Rephrasing Asked.
Miss Hunter said she thought
the moral. fundamental" effect
ON children who see a leader
smoking lis just as important
when the worker is at lunch"
The board asked the commit
tee to rephrase the regulations
in line with members comments
before the April meeting.
In other business the board
asked the commissioners to:
/. Obtain a triangle of land at
Alabama avenue and Twenty
fifth street Sc. for playground
purposes. The land. located just
south of the Stanton School, has
been used for defense housing
units, but is going to be sold by
the National Capital Housing
Authority.
2. Give the board authority to
conduct its usual July 4 celebra-
ton.
3. Proclaim May 2 to 9 as Ma
tional Music Week for the Dis
trict.

commander of the District de-
partment of the American Lee
gion, is asking that the tenn
porary building be removed.
He has called for this to be
done before the American Le-
gion holds its convention here
next August. The veterans who
will be here. he said, should
have an opportunity to see the
memorial to their comrades
erected by the District.
The cornerstone Of the me-
mortal is to the left as the Wis
itor mounts the steps on the
north side of the structure. On
it is carved:
This memorial was erected
through the voluntary sub
scriptions of the people of
Washington. 1t was dedicated
on Armistice Day. 1881. by
Herbert Hoover, President of
the United States. Within this
cornerstone are recorded the
names of the twenty-six thou
sand Washingtonians who.
when the United States entered
the World War, answered the
call to arms and served in the
Army. Navy, Marine Corps and
Coast Guard"
Perpetual Record.
In the marble to the right Of
the steps is this:
The names of the men and
women from the District of
Columbia who gave their lives
in the World War are here in
Scribed as a perpetual record
of their patriotic service to
their country. Those who fell
and those who survived. have
given to this and future gen.
erationS an example of high
idealism. courageous sacrifice
and gallant achievement"
Then, carved on the circular
base of the memorial, are the
names of those who gave their
lives in that war. It is a long
list.
The visitor to the memorial
may wonder what the dead
would think of the memorial
still barricaded behind a dilap-
idated building after the
emergency is past for which
the temporary building was
erected.

Officials 10 Discuss
Use Of Park Roads
By Rush-Hour Buses

| Federal and District Govern
ment officials will meet soon to
thresh out the possibilities of
more extensive use of -. Federal
park highways for rush-hour bus
travel.
| Such designation of park
thoroughfares was urged by
Traffic Consultant Leslie Will
liams. The idea received strong
Endorsement by the District Com
miSsioners. the Public Utilities
Commission and Capital Transit
Co. in reports to the Senate
Transit Investigating Subcom-
mittee.
! Committee Chairman Payne,
on receiving the reports yester-
day, promptly sent a letter to
Secretary of Interior Mckay ask
ing that he allow the undertake
ing at least on an experimental
basis.
It was also disclosed yester-
day that Chairman Robert E.
Mclaughlin of the utilities COM
mission made a similar request
OF Edward j. Kelly, superin-
tendent of National Park Serv-
ice. an Interior Department
agency in direct control of
Washington parks.
! Willing to Confer.
! Both Mr.. Mckay and Mr..
Kelly said today they are per-
fectly willing to confer with city
agencies on the subject.
II know the traffic situation is
bad during peak hour and needs
careful study" the cabinet officer
said. II will be very happy to
do anything I can to help, so
long as no harm is done to the
parks. Well certainly go to
work on it."
Mr.. Mckay said. however, that
he first wants to confer with his
staff engineers to determine
what can be done before discus
sions with city officials begin.
| While the reports to Congress
did not specify which park areas
city officials have in mind, Util-
tiles Commission Chairman Nc
Laughlin said today that
stretch of Rock Creek Park is
uppermost in mind. This is the
section between Taft Bridge and
Virginia avenue NV.
Voices Misgivings.
While Park Supt. Kelly said
he is not prepared at this time
to take a stand on this or other
park property, he voiced mis-
givings.
He said. for one thing, that he
doubts whether Rock Creek Park
road services are substantial
enough to withstand much bus
traffic. Mr.. Kelly said that the
park bridges were not designed
for heavy vehicles. Not even
occasional sightseeing buses are
permitted there now. he pointed
out.
In addition to these engineer
ing problems. the park super
intendent said that the rush.
hour congestion with only pri-
vate passenger cars has long
been bumper-to-bumper even
with the roadway one-way.
Some Use Permitted.
Mr.. Kelly pointed out that the
Park Service for many years has
permitted use Of some of its park
property thoroughfares by buses.
Crosstown buses operate over
Military road and the Porter
Irving streets crossing of Rock
Creek Park. He said that parts
Of Mount Vernon Parkway,
George Washington Parkway
and Constitution avenue, as we'll
as Memorial Bridge, are used by
buses under special Park Service
permission. Sightseeing buses
are permitted around the Tidal
Basin and Hams Point and Cap
ital Transit has periodically pro-
vided service to the latter desti-
nation, Mr.. Kelly pointed out.
City officials apparently fear
that the National Park Service
stand on Rock Creek Park may
be . matter Of policy.
