He said the court would make

Mr.. Tompkins was ordered
to pay $500 per month for the

Division, based in Washington,
is the offspring of the aSsocia-

traffic law enforcement on driv-
ing behavior.
Field division researchers
have already produced a pre-
liminary report, based on ex-
perimentS on Wisconsin high
ways, which questions a popu-
lar theory that the presence of
enforcement symbols on a high
way results in less speeding.
In the Wisconsin expert
ment, the experts developed
more efficient radar-camera-
clock set-upS for highway OBJ
servation. They learned, for
example, that the ordinary,
dark-hued camera trigger tube
across a highway may under
mine the validity of such OBJ
Servations by its effect on mo-
toriStS.
, In all, the associations con-
sultants have provided pro-
fessional help in the tarffc
field to IS municipal police
departments and 16 wide
police agencies. It's fees are
based on cost, which is held
to a minimum because much
of the agency's research is f.
nanced by grants from inSur-
ance companies and automo-
bile manufacturers.

The
Rambler
Lunches With
An Aristocrut
BY GEORGE KENNEDY


The Rambler has an ac-
quaintance from college days
who, while he may not have
qualified as a captain of in
duStry-a lieutenant perhaps
has certainly made good as
one of the aristocratS of the
expense account.
He blew into town the
other day and telephoned
about lunch. The Rambler
would have preferred a more
modest restaurant-he knows
several interesting ones-but
his industrialiSt friend was
staying at the Sheraton
Carlton and insisted that
that was where we would
eat.
This WaShingtonian was
surprised at the changes
that have taken place in the
hotel. The barroom and the
dining room have been
moved from the south side
of the hotel, where the table
windows overlooked the gar
den, to the north side. They
new overlook K street.
The Rambler was informed
that this had been done a
year ago. You see, he doesn't
get around much any more.
AS he waited for his
friend to come down, he re-
f1ected on what a story could
be written on this hotel. The
Willard had an interesting
10th century history. Charles
Dickens stayed there before
the Civil War and COM
planned very ungraciously
about the experience. 1t was
at the willard that Julia
Ward Howe wrote the Battle
Hymn Of the Republic"
But the Carlton, built by
Harry Wardman, the Eng
lish carpenter who pedalled
to work with his tool box
across the handlebars of his
bicycle in his early Wash
ington dayS-he also built
the Wardman Park, now the
Sheraton-Park, and the Hay
Adams-haS an interesting
20th-century history.

IF MEMORY can be
trusted, it was from the

Gen. Vaughan, in the White

Carlton that Bernard Gold
fine telephoned his White

But that's recent stuff.
Paradoxically, the Carlton
had its heyday during the
depression, when its bonds
were selling for a fraction of
the indentured value. In the
New Deal days, cabinet off,
GERS were shown to their
rlghtful places above the salt

lined up hoping that the cap
tain would remember them
