ROME PRESS SEES HAPSBURORETURN Young Fascist Organ Says Austrian Rule in Hands Apt to Err. »y tne Associated Press. ROME, May 25.—A plain-spoken forecast from the young Fascist press today said Austria was in hands which are apt to err, and declared the only solution is a return to the Hap6burgs. The statement came from Luigi Sa porito, former head of the young Fascist organization, writing in Roma Fascist*, organ of the Fascist uni versity students' organization. It was. perhaps, the most outspoken tuch Italian press pronouncement since the assassination of Austria’s volatile little chancellor, Engelbert Dollfuss, by Nazis in July, 1934. If, like most Italian editorials, it reflected government opinion, the ar ticle weald seem to mean H Duce does not place much confidence in the gov ernment of Chancellor Kurt Schusch hlgg. Saporito said the Dollfuss regime had fallen “into good hands,’’ but added: "At the bottom, very human and apt to err.” Schuschnigg succeeded the slain Dollfuss. Dealing with the contrast between Schuschnigg and Prince Ernst von Starhemberg. whom the Austrian chancellor has outed from the gov ernment, Saporito declared: “The Heimwehrmen (members of Starhemberg's private army) cannot be suppressed by force; first, because momentarily the movement is armed; second, because the ranks of those wishing Austria to be independent would be so weakened as to leave no excessive hopes of the possibility of effectively opposing the pressure of elements seeking an internal break up, and elements which are only waiting to stir up trouble. “The Heimwehrmen cannot dissolve themselves spontaneously, because in their best circles there is a truly great Idea lifting them up, and in their worst circles there are men who would not think twice before fight ing, even with arms and against their own chiefs, rather than be ejected with consequent loss of appreciable material advantages. "• * • Therefore, it is clear Vienna cannot remain long without her King, especially now that she also has her army. The true heir to Dollfuss can be none but a monarch—only a Hapsburg.” 30 HISTORY STUDENTS END VIRGINIA TOUR Woodward School Boys Visit Rev olutionary and Civil War Battlefields.

Picture made recently at Belgrade.—A. P. Photo. Use of Subway as Last Resort Is Favored by Utilities Board Commission Based Rerouting of Street Cars on Possibility Tunnels May Be Constructed Later. This is the ninth of a series of articles dealing with the mass transportation problem in Wash ington. BY JOHN H. CLINE. The Public Utilities Commission is •‘firmly convinced” that construction of subways should be treated as a last resort in attempting to solve the problems arising from the operation of mass transportation lines in Wash ington. Subway construction in the down town area has been advocated by People's Counsel William A. Roberts and other persons interested in the transportation problem here. They take the view that present measures to improve the situation will at best prove only temporarily beneficial, and that ultimately subways will have to be built. Before issuing its orders requiring track changes in a rerouting pro gram that will cost the Capital Transit Co. some $1,700,000. the Public Utilities Commission gave serious consideration to the question of sub ways. As a result of this study, the members of the commission came to the conclusion that the need for immediate improvement in the service was imperative and that better results could be obtained by rearrangement of the present surface transportation facilities. Abandonment Not Urged. Despite this unfavorable attitude, however, the commission did not come to the conclusion that consideration of future subway construction should be abandoned. The members realized that conditions affecting mass trans portation here have been getting pro gressively worse, and probably will not get any better. Particular study was given the growing tendency to concentrate the bulk of the city’s working population in a relatively centralized area, which can be reached only by travel over streets con verging in the downtown district so as to form a series of badly congested traffic bottle necks. With this future prospect in mind, the commission, in preparing its re routing orders, gave due consideration to the question of whether, in reason able probability, the changed track layouts would continue in whole or in part, even if at a later time the construction and operation of sub ways should be found necessary. Pointing out that traffic congestion here during rush hours has reached a point probably not equalled in any city of comparable size, the commis sion acknowledged that attempts tc give relief by widening streets had proved of temporary benefit only The reserve capacity created by widening of streets has been absorbed by increased population and addi tional automobile registrations. Large sums of money have been spent on these projects and in providing me chancial means tp regulate traffic yet the Inability of traffic to flow smoothly because of street conditions, has reulted in loss of time to every one and considerable expense to the transit company. Tremendous Cost Seen. As against these undesirable con ditions, however, the commission em phasized the cost of subway con struction that would serve a use ful purpose would be tremendous The commission also has stated its belief that it would be unsound both financially and from an oper ating point of view, to consider i subway system unless it would be ol substanial length. "The value of tunnels for short dis tances is highly conjectural.” mem bers of the commission said, ‘and It is seriously doubted if their cost would be justified by results attained Portals to such tunnels would not enhance the beauty of the city and would encroach on roadway area re quired for general vehicular traffic.” Roberts has urged a system of sub ways serving the congested district via Fourteenth and Seventeenth ! streets, a short length of Pennsyl vania avenue and E street. This pro gram would cost about $16,000,000, he said. The commission believes it would be difficult to obtain funds for any subway construction. In all prob ability the Capital Transit Co. would not finance such an undertaking, and if the Federal Government should finance the work there is every rea son to believe the cost ultimately would be borne by District taxpayers in one way or another. Private Interests May Take Task. There is, of course, the possibility | that private interests might finance j the construction, but the commis I sion believes this unlikely. It has also been pointed out that great difficulty would be experienced in subway construction here from an engineering standpoint, because the streets are infested with mains and conduits, the exact location of which are not known in many cases. These factors would have a tendency to in crease the cost of construction. In summing up its views on this question the commission said: “The commission is firmly con vinced that a number of measures should be exhausted before resorting | to subway operation w’ith its tre mendous cost. First, a reasonable trial should be made of street car operation as rerouted and supple i mented by bus routing under recent ! and prospective orders of the com mission. Second, it may be that the future may dictate a complete re placement of railway operation by bus. Third, the staggering of hours has materially aided the traffic situa tion and there is still the possibility, if nqfd be, for a further spread of working hours. “Fourth, should the management fail or be unable to so operate either the street railway system supple mented by bus. or a whole bus opera \ tion in a manner to attract a suffi j cient number of persons to substan tially relieve congestion caused by private vehicles, then a scientific study should be made of the propriety of in augurating subway operation. "It is the view of the commission that the matter of subways Should be held in abeyance. When it be comes apparent, however, that the various methods discussed prove to be impracticable, then a committee consisting of the Public Utilities Com mission and other Government offi cials should be appointed by Con gress for the purpose of making a thorough engineering and financial study of subway construction and operation in the District." Since subways are intended for accommodation of street cars pri marily the tendency in some cities to substitute bus operation for rail ways entirely is a matter of vital im portance in considering such a co6tly project as subway construction. Many experts, however, believe that in a city like Washington, where traffic congestion is accentuated dur ing ruch hours, the street car offers the best means of transporting large numbers of people quickly and cheap ly. This vfew was expressed by Col. C. E. Myers, consulting engineer, in a report prepared for Roberts. • Railways are still the only facility yet devised which can successfully cope with the extreme fluctuation of demand for mass transportation caused by American peak-hour travel to and from a central business area in the more important cities,” Col. Myers declared. § • ESTABLISHED 1865 • 1 p A Forget Heat and Sleep Soundly Install at once in your if A apartment or home Barker p p ventilator doors.

Case Histories of Families Dropped From the Rolls Presented by Star. Following decision of Congress to appropriate only $350,000 in place of the $608,000 for which the Com missioners had asked, the District relief authorities announced that all "employable” persons would be dropped from the local relief rolls April 1. This was done. Since then there has been no great public outcry for further re lief. There have been no riots, no disorder, no mass demonstrations. Evictions have been few. Was the relief demand over stated by the relief authorities? Is the public being lulled into a false sense of security that all is well? Some 4,100 families have been dropped from the local relief rolls. A few have been given W. P. A. employment. What are the others doing? What are their circum stances? How will they get along? At the request of the American Association of Social Workers the Public Assistance Division of the Board of Public Welfare and the Family Service Association, a Community Chest agency, have "followed up” 40 cases of persons dropped from the relief rolls. The names of these cases have not been available to The Star, nor has The Star made its own in vestigation of the facts. At the request of the agencies The Star will present daily some of the typi cal cases as reported by the case workers. CASE NO. 1. The family is composed of Mr. H, 28 years old, a waiter and painter; his 19-year-old wife and two chil dren, a boy 1 year and 5 months old and a girl 3 months old. Although in desperate circum stances they did not apply for aid until late In January. 1936, by which time their resources "had been tapped until they were almost dry and the conditions under which they were now living were the most unfor tunate.” They were offered "shelter” by the young wife's relatives in a 5-room house which already housed 13 chil dren. The little family was forced to occupy a bed room with 'eight other persons. "Wher\ the news came out this family, with so many others, would have to be dropped from the relief rolls,” it was reported, “the picture came as a nightmare." They fear that if all assistance Is stopped the little family will be forced to break up. They are still managing to hang together. CASE NO. t. This family is composed of a 34 year-old husband and his wife, who left junior high school when she be came 15, five months ago, to be married. The wife is one of 10 children. Her family has been assisted by social agencies intermittently for many years, and now, although her ft/her is employed, the family is unable to help her. The family of the husband lives in overcrowded quarters, six persons oc cupying five rooms. The husband lost his job several months ago and ap plied for relief in March. They re ceived relief for only three weeks. The husband, a tinner, could find no employment In his trade, but Anally found a job as a laborer, but this lasted only two weeks. When public relief was abandoned the young couple was left without re sources. They were to be evicted on the day the report was written, with no place to go. The girl is an expect ant mother, but lacks pre-natal care because she lacks carfare with which to go to a clinic. Debating Champions.
