TV Talk Plans
Of President
Remuin in Air

Plans for a presidential RADIO
teisvision speech on his ieeisla-
tive program remained up in
the air today. with practically no
likelihood Of any such address
this week.
White House Secretary James
c. Hagerty said he had not yet
made any calls to the RADIO
television industry committee
which arranges for the Presi-
dents appearances on the air.
Mr.. Hagerty added that neither
1.-The formula nor the formal" of
the Presidents appeal to the
people had yet been decided on.
The press secretary refused to
be drawn into discussion of
what the President might say if
and when he makes a Nation
wide address. Mr.. Hagerty ex-
planned that a bipartisan meet
ing with congressional leaders
is scheduled for Thursday and
that a message to Congress on
foreign aid will follow that meet
ing at some unspecified time.
He said he was disinclined to
discuss now anything that
might happen at that meeting.
There were indications that
the President would discuss his
legislative program troubles
with Republican congressional
leaders when he meets with them
at $3.50 am. tomorrow. It was
also considered likely that the
President would be receptive to
questions about his program
questions which almost certainly
will be directed at him at his
press conference at 1890 am.

Keneipp to Check Times
Trafic Director George E.
Keneipp told the Commissioners
he plans to check bus running
times both before and after the
new reserved lanes take effect to
see how much they help to speed
service.
One Of the main objects of
the bus lanes is to prevent taxi
cabs from cruising near the. curb
during peak hours and thus i'm
peding bus traffic.
Mr.. Keneipp said that the new
lanes will be clearly marked both
by signs and by painted lines
in the street. He also said that
he plans to indicate where mo-
florists may enter the lanes for
the purpose of making right
turns. This will be permitted
up to 100 feet from the intersec-
ton.
Mr.. Keneipp said he was GER
tain that the Eighteenth street
merchants who had protested an
earlier plan to make Eighteenth
street one-way around the clock
were agreeable to the new plan.
He also asserted that he expected
no complaint from the transit
company.
Blinker TO Be Replaced
TRAFFIC signals are to be in
stalled at New Hampshire avenue
and Eighteenth street in place
OF the present blinker signal
there.
While buses are supposed TO
have virtually exclusive use of
the new lanes at the designated
times. the new regulations also
pose a restriction Of them. They
will not be allowed to leave the
lanes except TO make turns or
get around disabled vehicles.
Mr.. Keneipp said he would
prefer TO have Eighteenth and
Nineteenth streets one-way in
directions opposite to those now. .
He said this arrangement cannot
be made satisfactorily until the
present streetcar line is removed
from the two streets, however.
