Veteran Driver Also Sug
gests Left-Turn Ban and
Control of Pedestrians.
Warning gongs to reinforce traffic
lights at isolated intersections, aboli
tion of left turns in the downtown
section of the city, rigid control of
pedestrians, limitation of the number
of taxicabs and reduction of the
number of no-parking signs where no
enforcement is provided are among
suggestions made for the improvement
of local traffic conditions in a letter
received by The Evening Star Safety
Council from Guido R. de Nuccio,
7542 Twelfth street.
Mr. de Nuccio. who has driven auto
mobiles for 25 years without accident
holds a safety star emblem awarded
him in Pennsylvania after 15 years
of driving without accident and has
6igned a Star safe driving pledge.
Cites "False Economy.*'
He characterizes the failure of the
Budget Bureau and Congress to grant
the request of Maj. Ernest W. Brown,
superintendent of police, and the Dis
trict Commissioners for additional
policemen as "false economy,” which
"will cost a whole lot more to the
people through accidents and rob
beries.”
Dealing with the suggestion that
bells be used to supplement traffic
signal lights. Mr. de Nuccio said:
"This is certainly an excellent idea,
but I would apply them only to those
Isolated lights that anybody unfamiliar
with the city may pass unnoticed.”
Urging the abolition of the left turn
In the downtown section, the writer
said: "How can a pedestrian cross
a street in safety with cars turning
in front and back of him? Is it not
much better to forbid left turns and
compel all drivers to go around an
extra block?”
Crges Pedestrian Control.
On the subject of pedestrian control.
Mr. de Nuccio said:
"Why are they not regulated as
Strictly as the drivers? The greatest
majority of us play both rolls of pedes
trians and drivers and we ought to
see the problem from both sides. As
it jars us to see a driver making a
faux pas. when we are walking, like
wise it jars a driver to see a pedestrian
cross a street in the middle of a block.
Where it should be his privilege to go
safely at the normal allowed speed
instead of having to look continually
for jay walkers. Even at crossings,
many times the two rows of cars have
to thin up to one row on account of
the pedestrians closing in and wanting
to cross on a red light.”
The city authorities should take
steps to deal with "the abnormal num
ber of taxis circulating empty at a
low cruising speed and stopping at
crossings as anywhere else to pick up
passengers,” in the opinion of the
writer. He suggested that cabs be
divided into shifts, as is done in some
European cities, each cab being marked
to denote the shift to which it belongs
and being barred from the streets
when off duty.
Would Charge Parkers,
On the matter of no-parking signs
he suggested that the authorities,
“without any hesitation remove all
those signs w'hich are not strictly,
absolutely, necessary, then require that
the remaining ones be respected.’’
“Now. in a city as automobile-con
gested as Washington." he concluded,
“no-parking signs should be used very
sparingly and I think it would not be
far from wrong to ask for a payment
for the steady occupation of the public
streets. If half of the population of
this city goes day in and day out every
day to offices or stores and park their
cars free for the whole day, why should
the other half of the tax-paying pop
ulation have to go around for blocks
and blocks without finding a chance
to park for even a short time their
cars? The city charges people for oc
cupation of public ground by the
square foot and is it not occupied
public ground from morning to night
the nearly 100 square feet that a car
takes up?
“Why is not something positive done
Immediately to improve these condi
tions? Every death or accident hap
pening in the city should remind those
in power that they are also partly re
sponsible for that death or accident
by allowing conditions to be what
they are at present.”

PLANE MISSES CROWD
TO CRASH, KILLING PAIR
By the Associated Press.
NEENAH, Wis., November 11.—
Bputtering as it swooped low over the
heads of 1.500 foot ball spectators, a
biplane plunged into the rear yard
of a nearby residence yesterday, kill
ing the pilot and a passenger.
The dead are Fred Btecker, jr„ 26.
who authorities believed was the pilot,
and Alfred Bauer, 25, the owner. Both
were experienced flyers, but only
Btecker held a pilot's license. The
plane, purchased by Bauer last Spring,
was unlicensed.
Power failure was blamed for the
150-foot fall, in which the nose of
the plane was buried up to the open
cockpit. The yard in which it fell
was 150 feet from the shore of Little
Lake Butte des Morts, and two blocks
from the park where spectators said
they noted the motor was sputtering
>s it circled about, apparently in
search for a spot to land.
