Strike Traffic Plans
Drafted by Keneip p
Trunsit WoIkout
Would Suspend
Porking Orders
BY AL ALIBRANDO
Star stan Correspondent

DETROIT, Oct. 3l.-Washing-
ton Traffic Director George
.Keneipp, on a four-city tour of
traffic courts and safety organi-
cations. today prepared to fly
back to Washington to issue
emergency instructions to motor
lists should "a transit strike be
called.
Mr.. Keneipp said he would
contact his Office today and clear
the decks for printing of several
hundred thousand pamphlets
which would establish emergency
driving and parking regulations
should company-union negotia-
tons today and tonight end in
a stalemate.
Inspects Courts
Meanwhile, Mr.. Keneipp and
Arthur Sundlun. chairman Of
the Commissioners Traffic Ad-
lvisory Board, inspected Detroit
traffic courts under full-time
judges described as two of the
toughest in the United States"
Donald Slutz of the Detroit
Traffic Safety Association, an
independent public traffic safety
support group. said the repeated
reelection of the two judges
showed that 'the public will get
behind a very tough traffic
policy"
The two full-time judges,
elected for six-year terms, are
George T. Murphy and John D.
Watts. Judge Murphy was first
elected in 1885 and is serving
his sixth term. Judge Watts
was appointed to a vacancy in
1915 and has been reelected
three times since.
The District officials are on
record as favoring a full time
traffic judge.
Following a meeting with Ma
tional Safety Council officials in
Chicago yesterday. Mr.. Keneipp,
Mr.. Sundlun and Frederick Hal
Her, vice chairman of the board,
said they would ask the District
Commissioners to hire the coun-
Gil for a survey on public traffic
safety support groups in the
District area.
Began in 1884
Through such study they
hope to determ:ne whether an
independent citizens organiza-
ton such as have pushed traffic
reforms in Detroit and Chicago
should be limited to the District
or should include members from
Arlington and Fairfax Counties
in Virginia and Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties in
Maryland.
The reform in traffic courts
here began in 1884 after public
demand for uniformity in traffic
enforcement and courts. Detroit
Traffic Safety Association off,
Gals said that before that time
a violation would bring a $40
fine one day and a 30-day Jail
sentence in another court an
other day.

Piece on Politics
BY JACK JONAS
The latest poll hereabouts

The latest poll hereabouts
indicates Stevenson, 3 to I.
This is perhaps the most
disorganized, whim-of the
moment poll ever taken, and
there may be some returns
from the early precincts
buried under the eight visi-
BILE votes.
1t is an unscheduled part
of the Smithsonian Institu-
tons special exhibit, "Politi-
cal Campaigns from 1928 to
1882"
One item on display is a
glaSs-sided ballot box, used
In Charles County, Md, from
the latter part of the 10Th
century until four years ago.
The ways have made 1886
part of the exhibit by scrib-
ling votes on scraps of paper
and dropping them into the
tempting slot at the top of
the ballot box. Visible are six
for Stevenson and two for
Eisenhower.
But even eight are more
than were ever officially listed
for Washington's own Belva
Lockwood. There's a picture
Of Mrs. Lockwood in the
exhibit, a small colored en-
craving.

MRS. LOCKWOOD, a mill
tant lawyer here in the last
two decades of the 10Th CEN
fury, was the first woman
candidate for the presidency.
That was in 1884, when the
Democrats put up Grover
Cleveland and the Republic
cans nominated James G..
Blaine. There were a couple
of other candidates, too
John P. st. John for the Pro-
hibition Party and Gen. Ben
jamin F. Butler for the Labor
Party.
Mrs. Lockwood had her law
offices and home at GIG F
street NV. and was spend
ing her spare time plugging
for equal rigls.s for women.
She already had won the
right for women to practice
before the United States Su-
preme Court, and was the first
woman attorney admitted to
practice before that court.
When the Equal Rights
Party met in California in
1883, they nominated Mrs.
Lockwood as their candidate.
She was so surprised when she
was notified at her home in
Washington that she carried
the papers around with her
for three days without men
tioning them.
Her nomination was made
public here when someone
asked her to support Ben But
Ter and she replied that she
couldn't do that because she
was a candidate herself.

HOW DID SHE make out?
In a petition to Congress,
seeking to have the vote cast
for her recorded, she said:
"Your petitioner begs leave
to set forth that (she) =. il.
did receive the suffrage and
support of good citizens, as
follows: New Hampshire, 379
votes; New York, 1886 votes;
Michigan, 374 votes; Illinois,
1908 votes; Maryland, 318
votes; California, 734 votes,
and the entire electoral vote
Of Indiana.
your petitioner further
states that during the recent
session of the electoral COL
lege of the State of Indiana
at the capitol thereof, that
after it had cast its vote for
Cleveland it changed its mind,
as it had an undisputed legal
right to do, and cast its united
vote for your petitioner. Your
petitioner, therefore, demands
that the vote Of Indiana be
counted for her in compliance
with the expressed wish of
the electors Of said State"
But the Indiana vote re-
manned for Cleveland. The
Equal Rights Party nominated
her again in 1888, but her
vote again was small.
Mrs. Lockwood, besides be-
ing the first woman to prac-
tice before the Supreme Court
and the first woman candi-
date for President, had an
other claim to fame.
She was the first, in the
early 1880s, to ride a tricycle.
