VAN DUZER URGES
Two Major Intersections
Could Be Served by Plan,
Citizens Told.
Pedestrian underpasses at congested
intersections and additional police
men were advocated last night by
Traffic Director William A. Van Duzer
as a solution to Washington’s traffic
problems. He spoke at a meeting
of the Columbia Heighls Citizens' As
sociation, in the Fourth Presbyterian
Church.
Van Duzer proposed construction oi
underpasses to cross the four corners
of the street at Fourteenth street and
Pennsylvania avenue and Fifteenth
street and New York avenue. Stair
ways would be used to reach the street
level or possibly escalators, he said.
The traffic director expressed the
opinion a "pedestrian light" would
not be practical here without a 60
per cent cut in traffic.
Van Duzer advocated subways for
Washington but added these would
take care of only part of the conges
tion. He said something should be
done about persons crossing in the
middle of a block. The commission
ers have the power to cortrol this by
regulation, he said, if they so de
sire.
More Police Hem :\eeueu.
Washington’s traffic trouble is ac
centuated by the lack of available
traffic officers at downtown intersec
tions. Van Duzer declared. At every
business intersection controlled by
traffic lights, four policemen are need
ed to assure control of the pedestrian
traffic. He admitted turns at inter
sections take away the pedestrian's
• right-of-way.” Every six hours, dur
ing daytime, he declared. 37.000 pedes
trians pass at Thirteenth and F streets
and 19.000 at Seventh street and
Pennsylvania avenue.
Safety zones, such as are in the
Columbia Heights section, he told the
citizens, are really not safety zones.
George H. Brown, chairman of the
association’s Public Safety Commit
tee. urged installation of a "pedes
trian light” system for the District.
He declared there is no safety for
the pedestrians while automobiles can
make right and left hand turns.
A resolution by Mrs. Marie Flynn
Maddox was adopted reiterating the
association's stand in favor of sub
ways. The resolution commended
William A. Roberts, people's counsel,
for his efforts along this line. A res
olution by Alton B. Carty was adopted
as an amendment. It urged a $25,000
appropriation by Congress for the
survey.
Safety Campaign Indorsed.
Mr. Brown introduced a resolution,
unanimously adopted, indorsing The
Star's safety campaign. He urged The
Star "not to let this campaign die”
and suggested citizens’ associations
be pledged in giving their co-opera
tion.
Announcement was made of the
death of William H. Coneby, third
vice president of the association, and
a resolution of condolence ordered
sent his family.
A recent Executive Committee meet
ing approved construction of a Pet
worth branch library at the earliest
possible date, it was announced.
Abandonment on Saturdays and
Sundays of the "no parking” ban from
4 to 6 p.m., now in effect on Thir
teenth street in the association's area,
was asked by Mrs. W. B. Wender.
Frank Miller Barnes, chairman of the
Streets and Alleys Committee, was
ordered to study the matter.
Elected to membership at the meet
ing were: William E. Spicer, Mrs. J.
C. Adams, Earl C. Bowersox, Harry
Engel. A. Atlas, Nat A. Levy and H.
W. Kennedy.
RED CROSS CALLS
FOR SAFETY DRIVE
15.000 First-Aid Units Asked by
Admiral Grayson to Curb
Accidents.
By the Associated Press.
A mobilization of Red Cross workers
eimilar to that in war times has been
called for by Rear Admiral Cary T.
Grayson to meet the Nation’s growing
accident list.
The Red Cross chairman, in his first
radio speech since he took office, said
15.000 first aid units were to be estab
lished at service stations, traveling
first aid stations were to be put on the
roads and safety was to be preached
in schools and farm homes.
•'The Red Cross this month is launch
ing an effort to minimize accidents in
the home, on the farm and along the
highway—accidents which last year
killed nearly 75,000 persons and in
jured millions,” he said.
"For months, the Red Cross had been
mobilizing. All along the line in
hamlet and city we have organized to
combat the grim specter of sudden
death and maiming injury.
•'Each Red Cross chapter and branch,
one in practically every county in the
United States, is expected to play a
part.”

Boston: Triangle. Conduit & Cable
Co., Brooklyn, and United States Rub
ber Products, Inc., New York.
The commission said that under the
leadership of the Okonite Co., General
Electric and Habirshaw Cable & Wire
Corp.. the manufacturers of impreg
nated paper cable, varnished cambric
cable, parkway cable and rubber
power cable were charged with having
“conceitedly adopted and maintained
fixed and uniform selling prices."
Discrimination Allayed.
The cable manufacturers, the com
mission said, are charged with "habit
ually and systematically discriminating
In price, after making due allowance
for the cost of transportation among
their various customers.” The com
plaint said they “exacted higher prices
from customers having little or nc
transportation expense and accepted
lower prices from those having heavy
transportation expense."
The alleged agreements and policies
adopted by the companies, it was
charged, have taken away from pur
chasers of cable and wire materials
“the advantages of normal competition
which formerly existed.”
Public utilities, city. State and Fed
eral Governments and large industrial
. plants were said to be customer* of ths
companies. In the case of utilities,
the complaint said that in some cases
the consumers have to bear the added
costs.
Hie commission fixed November 1
for a hearing on the <pmplaint.

Pedestrian Laws Indorsed
Radio Interviews at Fourteenth and F Streets
Disclose Willingness to Co-Operate to
Save Lives.
Fifty-five pedestrians have been
killed in traffic accidents in Wash
ington this year. Sixty-five per
cent of those crossed in the middle
of the block—12 per cent crossed
against a red light. Traffic Direc
tor William A. Van Duzer has
recommended that the Commis
sioners adopt a pedestrian control
regulation, whereby jaywalkers
' would be arrested and fined $2, and
persons walking across the street :
I on a red light be fined SI. But
j what docs the pedestrian think?
In a broadcast over Station WRC
yesterday. Star reporters inter
i viewed passersby at the corner of
Fourteenth and F streets. In the
jollouing stenographic transcript
j of the broadcast it can be seen that
the pedestrian is willing to be
regulated to save lives.
OHERE is a young man. What
is your name? A. Richard
• Glasser. Q. Where do you
live? A. Macomb street,
j northwest. Q. What do you think
ol pedestrian control? A. I think it's
a very good idea. Q. Do you think
it is necessary that pedestrians and
motorists co-operate with each other?
A. I certainly do. I fill a dual role.
I am both. Q. Have you any other
suggestions to make? A Only that
when I am a pedestrian I feel that if j
the motorist will give me a break
and let me go by I am perfectly will
ing to be subject to control.
QHERE is a young lady. What
* is your name? A. Mrs. Sylvia
Goldberg. Q. What is your address? i
A. Trinity Towers. Q. What do you
think of pedestrian control? A Well.
I think if everybody co-operated it
would help things considerably. I
think the traffic in this town is very
bad. Q. Do you think people ought
to walk across the street in the mid
dle of the block? A. I certainly do
not.
QHERE is a young man. What
* is your name, please? A. (
S Mitchell McMann. Q. Where do you
i live? A. H street northwest. Q.
I What do you think of pedestrian con
| trol? A. I think it would be a very j
good thing. Q. Would you have peo
| pie pay small fines for disobeying the
I law in that way? A. Yes, I would.
: just the same as a motorist. Q.
| Have you any other suggestions? A.
j None other than that I think you
I should give the garage man some
! business and have some brakes fixed
j around town, because I see daily peo
ple banging into one another.
QHERE is another young man.1
* #hat is your name? A. |
Robert Demslaw. Q. Where do you j
j live? A. 1324 Monroe. Q. Do you
drive a car? A. No. Q. You are
one of the pedestrians we are talking
about. What do you think, as a
pedestrian, of the control of people
walking on the streets? A. I believe
the pedestrians should observe the
lights and traffic regulations as well
as motorists. Q. You agree with Mr.
Van Duscr's thought, that something
ought to be done to control the
pedestrians for their protection? A.
Yes.
QHERE is a young man. What
"is your name? A. B. J. Rosen- i
thal. Q. What is your address? A. i
| 4415 Iowa avenue. Q. What do you
think of pedestrian control? A. I
think the pedestrian should be con
trolled by the lights as well as the
automobiles, and I am originally from
Louisville, Ky., where that rule is in
effect. It is in very good standing.
QHERE is a gentleman over here
’ who has been waiting to tell
, us what he thinks of pedestrian con
I trol. What is your name? A. Ritz
bach. Q. Where do you live, sir? A.
Utica N. Y. Q. What do you think
of pedestrian control? A. I think it
should be well enforced and enforced
to the limit. Q. Do they have it in
your State? A. They do. Q. Does
It reduce accidents? A. It does; very
much so. I think it should apply
especially to children. If the chil
dren were taught in school to watch
out from running behind automobiles
into the road, and such control as
that were taught as they are brought
up in the homes, I think many of
| the children’s accidents would be
! avoided.

By co-operating? A. Yes. Q. In j
other words, you think they should
cross at intersections and only on
he light? A. Yes.
OWHAT is your name? A Da

i car? A. Yes. Q. You are a pedes- ;
trian, too? A. Yes. Q. You have
read in the papers about Traffic Di
rector Van Duzer’s plan for control- |
ng pedestrians? A. That's right. Q.
What do you think about it? A. I
think it's a very good thing. Q
Would you be willing to pay a fine if
you crossed a street in disobedience
o the lights? A. Yes. I believe in
ibeying all laws. Q How much fine
do you think you ought to pay for dis
obeying the regulations? A. Accord- j
ing to what I can afford, I would say.
3. For example. Traffic Director Van
Duzer has proposed a S2 fine for a
jaywalker, and a $1 fine for the man
going against the lights. Would you
be willing to pay that? A. Yes.
QHERE is another gentleman
* What is your name, please? A.
Anton Foster of Pittsburgh. Q. Have
you been in Washington very long?
A. I have been here at frequent inter
vats. Q. You have read that Traffic
Director Van Duzer has proposed a
plan to control pedestrians. Would
you favor that? A. I would favor it
if it would possibly work, but I know
from experience with cities from St.
Louis to Sidney. Cape Breton, that
it sometimes does not work. It is
as hard to collect the fines in those
cases as it is your tags for parking.
In other words, there Ls some way of
getting around it, and the parties
who are the flagrant breakers of an
ordinance of that kind are the ones
who probably are not familiar with
the fact that such an ordinance
exists. They will dive across in back
of cars; they will forget the fact
that from eurb to curb belongs to the
motorist when the lights are in his
favor, and they forget the fact, also,
that old story of the mother having
a light in the window' is for the pur
pose of welcoming the boy or some
body else back home, and it is the
dependents of the daddy, the father,
who feel it most, and they are begging
daddy, when he leaves home in the
morning, to make sure that he roes
not come home a cripple.
i
/"■) HERE Is another gentleman
over here. What Is your name?
A. Fred Baldwin. Q. Do you drive a
car? A. Yes, I do. Q. Where do you
live? A. Lacrosse, Wis. Q. You have
read in the papers, I suppose, about
Traffic Director Van Duzer's plan for
controlling the pedestrians in Wash
ington? A. Yes, I have. They have
this plan in operation in Minneapolis.
Q. How does it work there? Is it a
success? A. It is to a certain extent,
although they have tried fining the
pedestrians and they brought up a
test case and the city lost. Q. How
much are the pedestrians fined out
there? A. It runs from S2 to *5. Q.
What is the range of fines?
A. It was $2 lor walking against the
light and *5 for jav-walking. Q. How
long have you been in Washington?
A. I have been here three weeks. Q.
Have you observed traffic conditions
since you have been there? A. To some
extent. Q. Have you any suggestions
for cutting down the number of acci
dents? A. Cut down the number of
cruising taxis.
QHERE Is a lady who has been
* driving for a long time. What
is your name, please? A. Elvle Claire,
Riverdale, Md. Q What would you
suggest to help traffic conditions here?
A. I agree with Director Van Duzer
in holding parents responsible for
children on the street. For instance,
on the scooters and skates. Any child
on the street with a skate or scooter,
their parents should be arrested and
the children should be taken to the
police station until called for by the
parents. That will help parents to
prevent traffic accidents. Q. Do you
think people should walk across the
streets against the red lights? A. No,
they should not. That is what the
red lights are installed for, for the
protection of the public and the drivers.

been here quite a long while.
What is‘your name? A. W. H. Barry.
Q. Where do you live? A. New
York and Paris. Q. What do you
think of the regulations in Wash
ington? Do you think they should
be made to control pedestrians?
A. I believe that pedestrian regula
tion is Just as important as traffic
regulation. In some of the cities In
Europe, without supervision of police,
people have learned to take care of
themselves, because if they are knock
ed down by any moving vehicle they
have to get up and apologize. Q. How
do conditions here compare with those
in France? A. I should say that with
out supervision the traffic regulation
is ahead of ours.

well observed as we have them in New
Orleans Q. What is your name? A.
Verna Pearsol. Q. Do you drive a

you think of the actions of the pe
destrians? Do you think they should
be regulated as motorists are? A.
Yes. I do. Q What do you think pe
destrians do to endanger themselves?
A Well. I think they should observe
the signals more carefully. Q. Not
cross on the red light, net cross in
the m.ddle of the street—is that what
| you mean? A. Yes. Q. How is the
situation here as compared with New
Orleans? A. In New Orleans I find
they observe traffic signals and lights
very well Q. And the accidents are
fewer down there? A. Yes, they are.1
HERE is another lady. What is
* your name, madam? A. I would
rather not say. Q Do you live In the
city? A Yes, right now. Q. Do you
drive a car or do you walk for the most
part? A. I drive a car. Q. In observ
ing the actions of pedestrians, do you
think they should be regulated and
made t.o observe laws as the motorists
do? A Surely: there are too many
accidents, anyway. Q. What are the
causes of most of those accidents?
A I think careless driving and quite
a few pedestrians walking against the
red lights. Q. What do you think of
Traffic Director Van Duzer's sugges- j
tion of fining pedestrians who cross !
against the light and walk across the
street in the middle of the block? A.
I think if they were fined, it would
help eventually.
OHere is a lady over here. What
* is your name, madam? A. I pre
fer not to give my name, but I am
a jaywalker, and the only wav to stop
me from doing that is to fine me.
Money makes people listen.
QHERE Is a young man. What is
* your name? A. Agnew. of
Georgetown University. Q. How long
have you been in the city? A. All my
life. Q, You know Washington up
and down. then. What do you think
of pedestrian control? A. I think the
people have no regard for one another,
and the people who drive cars have no
regard for the pedestrians With 55
pedestrians killed, in the case of more
than 40 it was their own fault. People
don't watch where they are going and
have no regard for one another. Q
Do you thtnk it would pav to fine
some of those pedestrians who amble
all over the street without looking?
A Yes, I think it would be good to
do that.

C. A are motorists and all of them
at times are pedestrians. In addi
tion to pledging ourselves to aid In
promoting traffic safety, we of the
campaign organization are glad to do
what we can to induce others to sign
the safety pledges.”
Vandegrift arranged with Vice
Chairman Earl Nash and Carson P.
Frailey to divide the pledge cards
among the three major divisions of
the membership organization. Leaders
of these divisions—George B. Ken
nedy. J. O. Martin and George E.

the following team captains: Dr. J.

Sanborn, C. E. Beckett, Roy E.
Hughes, Robert Nichols, Bert Piers.
Thomas J. Frailey, D. S. Stanley and
Winston W. Knox.
Thus, each of the 150 canvassers
will be supplied with five pledge cards.
In addition to endeavoring to sign
‘'prospects” for Y. M. C. A. mem
bership, the campaigners will describe
the safety drive and seek to obtain
the signature of the ‘'prospect” on
the pledge card.
Vandegrift and Martin will be
delegates to the annual meeting of
the National Safety Council in Louis
ville, Ky., this month. Vandegrift
formerly was general chairman of the
public utilities section of the council
and Martin is national chairman of
the employes' publication section of
the council.
To Distribute Stickers.
Safety ''stickers" also will be dis
tributed to signers of the pledge cards
by the Y. M. C. A. campaigners.
While the canvass is not scheduled
to begin formally until October 11,
many of the workers will begin their
solicitation activities immediately.
Myers, moreover, will have pledge
cards available at a desk in the lobby
of the Central Y. M. C. A., Eighteenth
and O streets, so that men and women
frequenting the lobby may have an
opportunity to sign up.
First returns in the drive will be
received at a dinner-rally of the en
tire organization October 11 in the
Heigh-Ho for Safety!
It wasn't a new thing for Rudy Vallee when he signed The Star
safe-driving pledge last night. It seems that Rudy has been campaigning
for highway safety some himself. He said he has distributed 2,000 copies
of “-And Sudden Death” to his friends, hoping that J. C. Furnas'
famous article will make them careful. He never drive* more than 35
miles per hour, even on the straight, wide highways between his Maine
home on Lake Kegar and Boston. When he gets into a taxi he says
"Drive to the right. Drive slow. I'm in no hurry.” As he took time out
last night at the fifth anniversary celebration of the Shoreham Hotel,
he said: "I always think of three people when driving—the man ahead,
the man behind and the man around the corner I can't see.”

“Badge of Honor.”
It has been pointed out by Maj.
Ernest W. Brown, superintendent of
police, that all members of the Met
ropolitan Police Department have'
taken The Star safe-driving pledge
and that the department regards the
windshield sticker as a badge of
honor, marking the car of the mo
torist who realises his Individual re
sponsibility for safe operation and
who is doing his part to co-operate
in the curtailment of highway death.
There is no disposition on the part
of the police, Maj. Brown said, to
heckle or ridicule motorists disp’aylng
the pledge who may get Into traffic
difficulties. On the contrary, he said,
the policeman on the street has a
warm spot in his heart for the mo
torist who shows, by displaying the
sticker, that he is acting as an ally
in the fight to curb traffic deaths and
accidents.
The Washingtonians, organization
of ‘‘Voteless Americans," has sent to
the Safety Council a copy of a reso
lution adopted by the organization
calling for ‘‘a thorough study of traffic
conditions at busy intersections where
vehicle and pedestrian traffic is alarm
ingly congested." In the letter of
transmittal the support of the or
ganization in the safety campaign
was promised.
The Washington Clvitan Club at a
luncheon meeting yesterday in the
Lafayette Hotel joined in the safety

AIR CONDITIONED
HOME HEAT
NO more stale, dead air
but air that’s fresh'and
invigorating — circulated and
completely changed every io
to 15 minutes. No more dry,
dusty air but air that’s humid
ified to just the right degree
for health and comfort. No
more fluctuating temperatures
but constant, uniform warmth
in every room.
That’s the amazing difference
between old fashioned home
heating and heating the modem
way with Delco-Heat Condi
tion air.
LOW COST
Now Delco-Heat Conditionair
costs little if any more than an
ordinary automatic heating
unit. And it’s far more econ
omical to operate. This is
due to its scientific unit con
struction, plus the Delco-Heat
method of burning lowest cost
domestic fuel oil;
NO DOWN PAYMENT
UP TO 3 YEARS TO PAY
Delco-Heat Conditionair is
now offered at a price within
reach of every home owner.
No down payment is neces
sary. And N. H. A. terms pro
vide for deferred payments ex
tending over a 3 year period*
