Trace Of Snow
BringsAnother
Traffic TieupI.
Area Aides Invited
To ToIks Aimed at
Future TongIes

The Washington area today
got ready to battle o snow
storm that never really mate
rialized but that didn't save
workbound motorists from
another big traffic jam.
Less than one-hundreth Of
an inch Of snow fell before the
storm passed north Of the Dis
trict before noon. But that was
enough. on top Of last weeks
leftover snow and ice, to slow
commuter traffic to Q crawl.
Officials acted early to close
schools in the nearby Maryland
and Virginia towns and coun-
ties but District public and
parochial schools and univer-
stiles remained open.
'Post Mortem" Set
Later, Engineer Commissioner
Frederick j. Clarke announced
that q ''post-mortem" meeting
will be held tomorrow 10 analyle
what can be done to prevent
another gigantic traffic tangle
like the one during the snow
storm Thursday night.
Representatives Of the
Weather Bureau. the State high
way departments Of Maryland
and Virginia, the Metropolitan
Area Traffic Council. the Dis
trict government, and Park
and Metropolitan police have
been invited to the 3 pm. meet
ing in Commissioner Clarke's
office.
"It will be o Monday morning
quarterback type Of meeting, -
Gen. Clarke said.
ut seems to me that we have
problems to solve both In the
city and In the suburbs II we
are to prevent this type Of
traffic jam from happening
again.
I'VE need better commune
cations between the suburbs
and the city in fighting big
snowstorms. Another thing
that will come up for discus
sion is whether more Of the
surrounding counties shouldn't t
adopt regulations providing for
q fine II cars are stalled be-
cause they are not equipped
with snow tires or chains"
Commissioner Clarke said
the question Of whether more
salt should be used to get rid
Of snow on the streets will be
discussed.
Other Plans In Effect
He added that the Thursday
night snow showed the need
for a great many more wreck
ers to haul away stalled cars
blocking traffic lanes.
Traffic officials were up before
dawn today. At 6 am. they in
voked District Emergency Snow
Plan l, which provides penalties
for motorists who get struck
without chains or snow tires
on certain highways. The plan
was cancelled Just before 10
am. when it became apparent
the District had missed the /
or 2 inch snowfall that had
been predicted by the Weather
Bureau.
Plan 3. which advises delay
Of non-essential travel. and
Plan I. which prohibits parking
between midnight and Z am
on 80 main streets, had been
continuously In effect since last
Thursdays 7.7-inch snowfall
created the most massive traffic
jam in the city's history. They
were Cancelled after moo ntoday

changing its mind will seem to
be changing the Constitution.
However. these problems do
not mean that our constitution is
unsatisfactory. Said Chief JUS

the minor ingredients which

from its language"

increasing age of some farmers
and diversification of farming
operations to other crops.
Buyers Need More
The warehouse and buying
and exporting Segments of the
dark-fired tobacco industry have
maintained for some years that
total annual production of Vir-
ginia Type 81 has been falling
below the needs of the trade.
To get the desirable grades.
this element of the industry has
plugged for a 10 to IL million
pound annual production. Ac-
tual produced tobacco has been
falling short Of that total for
several seasons.
1t is anticipated that the 1861
dark Virginia crop, now con
sidered to be larger and heavier
in leaf that a year ago, will
reach about 10 million pounds.
For the individual farmer
the new legislation is expected
to be beneficial to the extent
that he devotes time and effort
to producing a good crop with
desirable quality. More common
tobacco won't be the answer
but more quality leaf is seen as
one of the best answers Virginia
farmers can make to the idea
OF working with the buying COM
pames to strengthen the Type
Il situation.
To protect individual growers
the new law has safeguards de-
signed to protect the allotment
even though it is rented or
leased out for one or both sea-
sons.
