Under no circam- stances will action be taken solely on a citizen's report The Ball bill will spell the doom of the popular (with automobile drivers only) collateral system now in effect. All offenders will be required to ap- pear in court, and in case collateral is forfeited a warrant will be sworn out for contempt of court All-night parking in any section of the city will be positively prohibited These comprise the major recom- mendations in the bill. In the com- mittee report explanatory matter per- taining to the rccommendations is| reviewed in deiail “War must be declared on the reck- less driver,” the report says. “The | recklezs driver not only includes the | wreich who drives through the streets | while intoxicated, but the careless or thoughtless operator.” “The war must continue until this type of driver is eliminated. Heavy fines and Jjail terms must be ap- plied.” The report stresses the difference between reckless driving and speed- ing, pointing out that a driver may ssarily be reckless if he is at 30 miles an hour in the outlying sections, but the same driver will be reckless if he drives at 20 miles an hour in the congested sec- tion. It recommends no fixed speed 1tmit on this account, but does insist that the arresting officer take into consideration the various conditions in charging a man with reckless driving. Mental Test Urged. but normal driving None adults should be issued operators’ permits, the report declares. and these only after a thorongh physical, mental and moral examination If such a regulidgan were rigldly enforced, the report points out, it would remove from the streets a large class of incompetent drivers. Motorists are not always to blame in cases where pedestrians are run down, the committee says, and In many accidents the pedestrian Is morally, If not legaily, to blame. Althouzh e committee does not believe that the time is now at hand for enactment of a Jay-walkers' law. it points out that such a law is coming about sooncr or later and pe- destrians must realize this fact. “The t is coming wban pedes trians who cross streets other than at the regularly designated cross walks will just as liable to arrest as the motorist who drives his car onto the idewalk the committee asserts Would Educate Walkers, “An educational program should be inaugurated at once for walkers. Traffic conditions in the bLig cities of the United States are becoming too congested to allow pedestrians to wander at will through the streets, Those who walk should obey the traf- fic officer's signal and cross only at regularly marked intersections.’ In regard to the trafic plan which has been made an intensive campalgn The Star, that of forcing traffic to allow an interval between the time their whistie is blown and the semaphore change of direction, he committee has this to say: “Traffic officers should allow an in- Jerval of a few scconds to intervene between the blowing of the whistle nd the change of direction In traffic. This plan will give pedestrians a rhance to anticipate the change and reach the other curb.” The committee also recommends the sstablishment of a boulevard system for the speeding up of traffic. All rars approaching the intersection of one of these boulevards would be re- quired to come to a complete stop. The special routing of all commercial vehicle trafc is advocated. In an effort to check up on drivers who do not stop after an accident, the report would make it mandatory for all garage cwners to report to the police whenever they were ordered to repair a smashed-up car. The po- lice could then find out what kind of an accident the car was in and all the detalls relating to it. A fine of $25 is urged for garagemen who do not report these repair cases. Brake Care Demanded. Two other important recommenda- | non-glare lens will be legal, and that I lights in Washington be prohibited, and the second that neglect of the care of brakes is evidencs that the oparator is a reckless driver. The no-d'mming rule is necessary, the committee belleves, on account of he m poorly lighted streets in W.shington. The recommendation sheclfies, however, that only standard | esting stations for the focusing of lizhts should be cstablished In all parts of the city. | Coaterence Called In an effort to whip into shape a| zeneral trafflc law which will correct he abuses now existing in the Na-| i onal Capital, €0 as to have. this pro- | legisiation In shape for the irst meeting of the joint erence setween the House and Senate Dis- tint e tloes on a program of leg- lation for the Distriet of Columbia. | tive Rathbone of Ilinois | d u conterence of his law | subcommittee to meet Heuse Distriet corumittee oy jaturday moraing at 10 o'clock Representative | Rathbone declared to- at_memburs of his sub-ommitter that ‘a drastic trafie law is the most urgent need of the tal at this time, and that no time i be spared in drafting such a_meas- He welcomes all suggestions for improvement of the trafic situa- tion and is himself in favor of having heavy penalties for violators.

It Is further contended by some of the commentators that 1{f the, United States allows France excep- tlonally favorable terms Great Brit- ain would be justified in_looking for ion of her own unding ar- rangement with America Sees Situation Change The Dally Telegraph's diplomatie correspondent says a new situation regarding the whole problem of in- terallied debts has arisen through the Frunco-American initiative, and it may well be that the British govern- ment will feel constrained to take up the matter of the allies’ indebtedness to this country sooner thin orig- ina’'ly contemplated. The writer as- sumes that if France is in a position to discuss ways and means of dis- charging her debt to the Upited ates she must be in a similar po- regarding - her obligation to Great Britain. The Dally Mail, remarking that Great Britain has always been ready to cancel the debts due her If her own debts were similarly canceled, adds that all possibility of such gen- eral cancellation has been ruled out by President Coolidge’s pronounce- ment in his message to Congress yes- terday. Dincusses Terms. This paper also assumes that if France gets better terms from the United States than Great Britain, this country’s conditlons of payment will be revised as a matter of course. The Westminster Gazette, em- phasizes the need for France to make an arrangement with her British and American creditors, and adds. “There is no reason why we, by heroic efforts for which the pres- ent generation will receive no reward but the co iousnes: rectitude. OFFICIALS HERE SILENT. While crossing the street at Eight- | Flatly Deny Promises Made in| Debt Discussion. here are unusually their allusions to Offictals served In all they appear to r ed the apprehensions which have arisen on the subject in London. In the first place it is pointed out that the discussions between Am- bassador Jusserand and Secretary Mellon have not even reached the stage where definite settlement terms are under conslderation. It is de- Belmunt | clared flatly by all of those concern- | Wills of Two Women Make Pro- ed in the discussions that no prom- ises have been made on either side, and no concrete plan of funding has been either presented by France, who must take the initiative, or outli by the United States. In addition, it is reiterated that the American Government has no in- playing one of its debtors off against another. Its only desire is to veach an agreement that will be falr to every one. Policy Unchanged. President Coolidge’s reference to debt cancellation in his message to Congress, which appears to have been received as a significant pronounce- ment by some London newspapers, represents no new policy on the part of the United States. The proposal for cancellation never struck a re- sponsive chord among responsible of- ficlals here, and both Presidents Har- ding and Coolidge repeatedly have voiced their opposition to it. The question of a possible revision of the agreement already reached with Great Britain is a subject about which high officials do not desire to talk. Obviously the British settle- ment is regarded as a closed incident, but no one wants to undertake to commit the Government to any par- alone | Beyer's car collided with|of all the allies, should pay our debts | of its financial | re-| the | leg and brulses | funding of the French war debt, but| gard as unwarrant- | | The Sendte foreign relations commit- tentlon of drivihg sharp bargains or| ., no occasion is seen to a revision now, as there ap- pears to have been no major develop- ment since the agreement was made to alter the situation regarding it. It is hoped in Washington that ‘an agreement with France will be pos- ible, but officials all are avolding any real predictions. This caution not only is based on a professed lack of information as to what Franoce eventually may have to offer, but on the knowledge that Congress in the end would have to approve any set- tlement made in the future or any revision of settlements already given congressional sanction. Even the leaders at the Capitol do not attempt to say what might or might not be possible there. BORAH GIVES VIEWS. Giving Concessions France on Debt. British protest against the negotia- tions between Secretary of thé Treas- ury Mellon and Ambassador Jus- and, looking to the granting of nore liberal concessions to France for the funding of its $4,000,000,000 war debt to the United States than were granted to Great Britain, arouse much interest at the Capitol today. Senator Borah of Idaho, chairman of the foreign relations committee, declared his opposition to granting such concessions to France. He pre- dicted a sharp fight should the For- cign Debt Funding Commission rec- ommend to Congress the granting of a 10-year moratorium on interest payments by France after an agree- ment is arranged and after fixing lower rates than those contained in the agreement with Great Britain, For Same Termn. “I am in favor of making exactly | the same terms with France for the funding of its debt as we made with eat Britain. Beyond that we should not go,” he sald. Senator Borah sald if the United States made concesslons to France Leyond those made to other debtor nations it would be only natural for Great Britain to ask a modification of its terms. Senator Borah said that we could not afford to give any more liberal terms than aiready agreed upon with Great Britain. Senator Borah said that the United States already stands to lose $2,500,000 under the modified terms entered into with Great Britafn. This estimate ex-| ceeds by $1.500.000 the loss esti- mated recently by Senator La Fol- lette when he opposed the terms of settlement with Great Britain. Court Measure Delay Seen.

MacDonald, chief of the Bureau of Public Roads, told the Highway Re- search Board at its fourth annual convention, which opened today at the new home of the National Acad- emy of Sciences and the National Re- search Councll, Application of time-saving meth- ods by contractors in road construc- tion work, by overcoming of delays and use of proper machinery, would save between 20 and 25 per cent of the total spent on road construction, Mr. MacDonald estimated. Applied to the blllion dollars he said was annu- ally spent on roads in the United State: this would represent an enor- mous saving to the taxpayer. Sees Widespread Interest. Mr. MacDonald sald it was not the intention to bulld up a large roadway research organization in Washington, with experts in all fields concentrated here. Rather, he declared, 1t is thought best to spread thought on new engl- neering phases of the work, with re- sulting savings in time and money, through every State in order that every highway engineer may have an actual interest in the extension of research work. “We have come to the time,” Mr. MacDonald said, “when we can deny that research is tiresome, high- brow and of no value.” The chief of the roads bureau advocated the thick- ened edge for concrete roads, which have previously been bullt with the thickest part {n the middle, Welcoming the highway engineers and members of the research board, Dr. Vernon Kellogg, secretary of the Natlonal Academy of Sciences, de- clared that industry is taking note of the value of sclentific research and is steadily abandoning the “em- pirical methods” of trial and faflure.

It would be difficult to reach an agree- ment. he sald, but he was hopeful. Another object, the minister point- ed out, was the restoration cf com- merctal relations, which was impossi- ble before normal relutions had been resumed between the two natlons. This did not mean, he added, that the Soviet government was thinking of raising & loan in France. The true state of Russia’s economic and finan- clal situation, he sald, must first be made clear. The return to Paris of Jacques Sa- doul, the Communist convicted by de- fault of treason and sentenced to death, is thought in official circles to have Leen timed by the Communists to colncide with the arrival of Am- bassador Krassin, o that the agita- tion in Sadoul's favor planned by the extremists might profit from the en- thusiasm raised by today's demon- stration. The government, it is said, will in nowlse interfere in the Sadoul case further than to hold him at the dis- posal of the court-martial. The tac- tics of the Communists are expected to be the same as those followed in case of Andre Marty, the Black Sea mutineer, who was granted amnesty last Summer. They will nominate him, it is thought, for the first va- cancy in the Chamber of Deputies or in the municipal councils and seek to use his name as a rallying cry for intensive revolutionary agitation. SADOUL HELD TRAITOR. French to Disregard Immunity of Former Officer. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News PARIS, December 4—Soviet Am- bassador Krassin, due here today, was preceded on Wednesday by a far less welcome messenger of the Sovlets—Capt. Sadoul, the French officer, who in 1918, while a member of the French military mission to Russla, deserted, joining the Reds. In the following year, Capt. Sadoul has held many prominent positions in Soviet Russia, such as commisar for the Odessa district and member of the comintern. Almost as staff officer of the red army, he command- ed bolshevist troops against the French, who in 1919 and 1920, were assisting varlous anti-bolshevist gen- erals. Gullty of Treason. Sadoul was found guilty as a trai- tor for fighting against his own coun- try and for compelling French war prisoners to join the red army. He was sentenced to death, in his ab- sence, by a French court-martial in 1919, and he has remained ever since in Russia, where he took out natu- ralization papers. His arrival in Paris has caused a tremendous sensation. Sadoul, who had been given a passport under an | stein, U. S.
