Stress was laid on the fact that the House District committee found condi- tions “intolerable” ir the Police Court during recent visits, and that this court is unique in being the only Fed- eral Police Court in the United States. Chairman Zihlman pointed out that the Public Utilities Commission as now constituted, being identical with the Board of District Commissioners, an account of the press of many other duties cannot give proper study to public utilities problems, such as val- uations, rates of fare and other mat- ters directly affecting the patrons of these companies. The bill provides that the three ‘members of the Public Utilities Com- mission shall be appointed by the President and shall receive a salary of $7,500 a vear. The same salary is recommended for the counsel who will represent the people at the hear- ings of the commission. The office of a people’s counsel already has been created in the District appro- priation bill and a salary of $6,000 au- thorized. Sweden Widens Radio Use.

C, TUESDAY, MAY ' 25 NEW ARMY CAR PUT THROUGH HARD RUN Auto Climbs Steps and Crosses Ditches—Proves Utility to War Chiefs. Climbing steps and bouncing over a fourfopt ditch are small things in the life of the new cross-country scouting automobiles developed by ordnance* experts of the Army and demonstrated here yesterday, with Secretary of War Davis_and other high officials of the War Department {among the occupants who bounced along with them in the demonstra- tion. Many persons evidently thought the first phase of the demonstration, In which the four cars deftly swung over the curb and down the flight of steps at the north entrance of the State, War and Navy Building, was a prelude to the Wild West show parade which was just coming down Pennsylvania avenue. As the gather- ing crowd gaped wide-eyved at what might have been taken for a joy-rid- ing exhibition, the four cars contin- ued to cavort up and down the steps leading down from the sidewalk. Low Speed Provided. The cars, which are the stock chas- sis and engines of two well known cars of the low-price class with modi- fications in the transmission to pro- vide low speed and greatly oversize tire equipment to absorb shock, repre- sent the latest development by [ are designed for use in cross will be supplied to branches | of the service heretofore equipped | with motor cycles and light trucks. Twenty-five of the cars have been as- sembled at the Aberdeen Proving | Ground, from which the four demon- | strators were sent here, and it is planned to supply the cars in quantity when money is available. After Secretary Davis, Assistant Secretary of War MacNider, Maj. Gen. John L. Hines, chiet of staff, and other high officials of the War Department had watched the demonstration at the north entrance of the State, War and Navy Building, they climbed into the cars and were driven down to the foot of B street in West Potomac Park. where another demonstration was given over the gh filled-in ground there on the river shore. Officials Are Impressed. Seated in the wing seats of one of the cars with Secretary Davis were Maj. Gen Hines and Maj. Gen.

The cars, which are equipped with an auxiliary low speed, are capable of climbing a 35 per cent grade from a standing start and have a speed range of from 1% to 50 miles an~hour. The big balloon tire equipment acts as a cushion in the rough spots and the light body construction, with the four-wing seats, puts a_minimum of burden on the chassis and engine. SIR T. E.
