The adoption of uniform traf-

today at a meeting called by
President Kennedy's Committee

Full use of uniform traffic
control devices would mean

said.
He spoke at the National
Conference on Uniform Traf-
fic Control Devices which some
425 public officials, business

tending today and tomorrow at
the Sheraton Park Hotel.
Mr.. Marsh urged the adop-
ton of standards set forth in
the new Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices for
Streets and Highways" drafted
by the committees traffic
experts.
The manual urges these uni
form signs:
Octagonal sign shapes for
stop, triangles for yielding, dia-
monds for warning, VERTICAL
rectangles for other regula-
lions, shields for route markers,
and horizontal rectangles for
guidance and information.
Colors generally denote red
for stop, yellow for warning.

The
Rambler
Wonders
About Mistakes
By JOHN McKELWAY

1t seems remarkable that
so much value was attached
to those 400 stamps the Post
Office printed a few days
back with the backgrounds
upside down.
One man, it was reported,
VINO had picked up so upside
down ba fairgrounds, was
ready to send his five sons to
college with the fortune he
hoped to receive after selling
the misprintS to people who
collect mistakes.
Yet how strange it is that
collectors are unimpressed
and consider valueless the
mistakes newspapers make.
Most of these mistakes are.
far more interesting than a
stamps upside down back
ground, which was pretty OBJ
Scure anyway. Some are
amazing.
The Rambler, from time to
time, has made notable, vet
unintentional, contributions
to this unappreciated field of
journalism.
In reporting the corner
stone laying of the new East
Front Of the Capitol, he re-
ferred to the very stone itself
as marble"
1t is, of course, granite.
Why this mistake is not a
collectors item is a question
not easily answered. And it's
value would seem to have
been en- hanced when the
Architect of the Capitol, J.
George Stewart, deposited
the story-whic h said the
stone was marble-inside the
stone (granite), along with
several other clippings and
mementoes, at a subsequent
ceremony.
Presumably, it rests there
today.

SEVERAL DAYS PASSED.

And then there came a nice
little letter in the mail from
a man who may have been
close to the Ambassador.
"No doubt" he wrote, "the
mistake that slipped in has
already been called to your
attention. ct hadn't.)
However, the Ambassador
of the Netherlands wants to
be sure that his name is Van
Roijen and not Wilhelmus
van assouwe. The latter
happens to be the title of one
of the Dutch a n t h e m in
honor of Willem Van
Orange :"
He graciously a d d e d, he
was not canceling his sub
scription.
There is no record of the
mistake being bought up in
blocks of so papers or more.
1t remains in the annals Of
journalism, however, as the
only time an ambassador was
called a national anthem in
print. Also, it is the first time
an anthem was ever quoted
at any length and directly.
Unlike the Post Office, it
should be noted, The Star did
not print thousands of addi-
tional copies of the mistake
in a heavy-handed attempt
to reduce its value.

A budget surplus can some
times be more difficult to han
die than a deficit, the Regional
Sanitary Advisory Board dis
covered today.
The board had about $4,000
left over from a study on waste
water disposal in the Metro
politan Area. About $4,000
had been collected for the study
from the various Jurisdictions
in the area.
When the question of what
to do with the $4,000 came up
at the boards meeting today,
someone suggested that the
contributors be surprised by a
refund.
Then the objections were
aired. Maryland jurisdictions,
it appeared, got half of their
contributions from the State.
The District got a portion Of its
share from the Department of
Health, Education and We'll
fare, and that money could only
be spent for the study.
Greatest Problem"
Then the suggestion was
made that the money be kept
for future studies of the board.
David V. Aud, District sani-
tary engineering director, who
was acting chairman of the
meeting, said after fifteen min
utes of hearing resolutions and
amendments to resolutions:
1T seems this is the great
est problem we have ever had"
The problem was finally re-
solved by kicking it up to the
boards parent body, the Water
Supply and Pollution Abate-
ment Committee of the Met
ropolitan Washington Council
of Governments, with the rec
ommendation that the money

Mr.. Aud expressed disap-
pointment. II thought it would

Schwartz referred to a recent
statement by Representative
Broyhill, Republican of Vir-
ginia, that swimming in the
Potomac is "just around the
corner" Such stories are quite
detrimental" Mr.. Schwartz
said, because they lead to ex-
pectationS that cannot be full
filled.

TO start gathering information

oage, silt and other wastes)

Heard that the comprehensive

THE RAMBLER also is re-
sponsible for writing that the
motto on the British coat of
arms, Clipped out in brick on
the side of the new chancery

1t is, of course, in French.
Remarkably, this mistake
has gone unnoticed for sew
eral years. It is revealed here
with for the first time. Prob
ably no one ever collected it.
But if newspaper errors be-
come valuable some day, the
Rambler is ready to sell one

five children through college
but would purchase the uni

pie of the United States, the
one located near the Two
Jima Memorial in Arlington.
There were speeches. The
national an t h e m S of the
Netherlands and the United
States were played on the
bells.
In what was something
less than a moving account
of the affair, the Rambler,
using the program, wrote the

South Capitol Span
Sticks in Early Rush
Many Abandon
Cars and Walk
As Jam Grows

Thousands of commuters
were stalled on their way to
work today when the South
Capitol Street Bridge stuck
after being swung open for a
tugboat about $50 am.
1t was three hours before
traffic returned to normal.
The four-lane bridge over the
Anacostia River is one of the
main approaches to downtown
Washington from the SOUTH
east. Traffic tunnels onto the
bridge from the Suitland park
way, Indian Head highway and
the new Wilson Bridge over the
Potomac from Virginia.
Traffic backed up quickly
before police could reach the
scene and begin diverting mo-
florists toward the Anacostia
eleventh street, and Sousa
pennsylvania avenue) Bridges.
Hour Delay
Even after the bridge was
finally locked into position
again and opened to traffic at
1880, the jam-up of cars re-;
manned huge, extending up to
three miles as the commuter
rush reached its peak.
A few cars had stalled dur
ing the long wait while the
bridge was out, adding to the
confusion, police said.
One car, abandoned by it's
owner on the South Capitol
bridge approach, had to be
moved out of the way by q
highway department crane
after police opened a path for
the crane.
Motorists who could turn
around and head away from
the disabled bridge found
themselves in little better shape
as traffic inched along bumper
to-bumper heading for the two
bridges farther up the Anacos-
tia. Several drivers pulled off
the road and walked into the
city.
Buses Stuck, too
About a hundred persons
waiting in the chill for buses
outside the Justice Department
at Tenth street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue to take them tc
Southeast Washington were tolc
that no buses were available
because they were all stuck il
the traffic beyond the Eleventh
street bridge.
Scores of police rushed to
key intersections to divert traf-
fic away from the worst jams,
directed by the WMAL-police
helicopter. Maryland State
troopers helped in the diversion
farther out the Suitland Park
way.
Bridge operator Archie
Rodgers swung the bridge open
at $50 for a Navy diving school
tug, and discovered to his con-
sternation that when the
bridge swung into the closed
position, some toggle pins re-
fused to go into place, leaving
the bridge about a foot lower
than the approach ramp.
Supervisor Cecil H. Rennoe
= an expert with bridge
mechanisms - eventually got
the toggle pins to work and
the bridge leveled off. But
for many irate commuters, it
was just a little late.
