THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, . TUESDAY JUNE . 11, 1929. "HALTS SIGNAL WORK "Traffic Light Installation Is Delayed, Director Har- land Reveals. Completion of the current traffic ngm installation program has been delayed | by the lack of poles for the new signals, | | it was revealed today by Traffic Di-! rector William H. Harland. Approximately 125 poles are fieeded | to complete the program, the signals | for which already have been purchased, Mr. Harland said, and according to present_indications it may be several weeks before the poles are delivered. The projects being held up by the lack of poles are those planned_for Maryland avenue northeast from Sec- ond to Fifteenth street, K street from ‘Washington_circle to Fifteenth street | northeast, Eighteenth street from H ' street to Massachusetts avenue, and in- | stallations_around Iowa and ghomas Circles. The Maryland avenue and K street installations are to be among the largest in the city. Although the current program is un- completed, Mr. Harland virtually has finished plans for additional extensive installations next vear to be financed from the funds derived from the re- ! newal of automobile drivers’ permits, to start July 1. Although the traffic director has not definitely determined the location for the new lights, a majority will be in- stalled in the congested area. A num- ber of new lights, however, will be | placed in the outlying communities | at_heavily traveled intersections. The networks of lights are planned for Pennsylvania avenue from Four- teenth to ixth streets; Fourteenth street from Pennsylvania avenue and Thomas circle; H street northeast from Second to Fifteenth streets, and Q street from Wisconsin avenue to Rhode Island avenue. The new program will involve the | purchase of nearly 500 signals at an estimated cost of $150,000. BLACK IS COMING HOME. CALCUTTA, India, June 11 () .— Van Lear Black, Baltimore publisher, whose touring airplane crashed near here yesterday while en route to the Far East, plans to leave Calcutta Thurs- day for Bombayr, after which he will embark on a m-il liner for London en route for the Usited States. Mr. Black’s fture plans are still un- determined. Th# journey from England had been quite uneventful until yester- day's mishap, which was his second in 150,000 miles of flying over 35 countries. He left Croydon 10 days ago to demon- strate the possibilities of commercial 1 bring only condemnation or laughter. ‘They have said that no simplifying of | tions of a_getaway today were aban- | Judicial System Revision Is Urged To Reduce Crime Move Would Bring Con- demnation or Laughter. By the Assoclated Press. HOUSTON. Tex.. June 11.—To cor- | rect “the habit of crime in the United [ States,” William E. Dodd, American | history professor of the University of Chicago, told a Rice Institute audience yesterday there is needed primarily a radical simplification of the judicial and political systems of the Nation. But, declared Prof. Dodd, if President Hoover’s law enforcement commission made such a proposal, it doubtless would “The courts,” he said, “have become the arena and opportunity of him who violates the law and makes justice a by- word and a jeer. “Members _of recent constitutional conventions have seen the difficulty. {our judicial and_political systems can ever pass the silent watches of the bosses and the precinct captins. Thus the greatest of all remedies is beyond the greatest of our powers. “Has not the President pressed upon his commission a dilemma which if they meet in one way they will be damned, or which, if they meet it in another, they will be laughed at?
