The fog hindered removal Of

ALWAYS BLAMED
Emergency
Delay Told
By.Keneipp

District Traffic Director
George z. Keneipp today ex-
planned the timing of his snow
emergency orders yesterday.
He said he had received
some criticism that ne issued
the orders too late in the after
noon to do any good. He
added that in the same cir
cumstances he would do again
exactly what he did yesterday.
The decision as to whether
or not to declare an emergency
or to request early dismissal Of
Federal workers is probably
one Of the hardest decisions to
make and the easiest to criti-
cize. he said.
Mr.. Keneipp said the chief
culprit was the storm itself. He
said the weather forecasts
called for an early end to the
snow throughout the day.
Checked Main Arteries
He and an assistant drove
over most Of the city's main
thorouehfares from noon to 2
pm. yesterday and found pave
ments "slushy" and traffic
moving without difficulty" he
said.
Just after 2 pm. he re-
quested that police give him a
report from outlying sections.
About 2:l5 pm. he said. he got
reports Of steadily worsening
driving conditions in the 9Th.
9Th. 18th and l4th precincts.
At 2:40 pm. he went to the
Office of Col. A. c. yelling. the
Engineer Commissioner. and
proposed that Plan / and Plan
2 be put into effect. The first
imposes penalties on drivers
who get stuck without chains
or snow tires on any of SO
main streets and forbids
parking on these streets from
midnight to 7 am. The Sec
ond requests that Government
workers be dismissed early.

proposal. he said. and at ass

County Conditions Improve
Conditions in the counties
also were better. No major tie
ups were reported anywhere.
In Prince Georges County the
snow had melted sufficiently to
permit progress without tire
chains on main roads.
The same was true in Mont
gomery County. but cars were
still stranded on many roads.
Alexandria and Fairfax po-
lice found roads in fairly good
condition except in the less
travelled neighborhoods. Ar
lington police said there still
would be a delay in home
bound traffic, but nothing like
yesterdays stalling.
Tonight's temperatures were
to be among the coolest u the
season. ley roads will result
