12 ASKS FOR REMOVAL OF SIGNAL LIGHTS Citizen Suggests Police Con- trol Traffic at Prominent Street Intersection. Expressing doubt as to the feasi- bility of traffic signal light control at New Hampshire and Georgia avenues, Fred S. Walker. president of the Park View Citizens' Association, in a letter to the District Commissioners today asks that the lights now in operation be removed and the intersection re- stored to police control. Mr. Walker contends that the exces- sive number of automobiles making left turns from New Hampshire into Georgia avenue at certain hours makes it impossible for any traffic light sys- tem to accommodate the traffic flow. Text of Walker's Letter. He wrote to the Commisisoners as follows: “As a resident of Rock Creck Church road, living near Georgia avenue, I wish to indorse the recommendation of the traffic director to meke Rock Creek Church road a one-way street, east bound. As a resident I will go even further and ask that it be closed to traffic in both directions. “As president of the Park View Citizens' Association, however, and as a citizen interested in our traffic prob- lems, I wish to emphatically protest against this change, which is recom- mended merely to adjust traffic to_the policies of the director, because, first. a portion of the west-bound traffic would be diverted north and would still have to pass through the intersection of Georgia avenue and Rock Creek Church road. and. second. because some traffic would be diverted south past the Park View School, a highly undesirable remedy for an isolated in- tersection. “Several months ago T discussed with the traffic_director the feasibility of installing lights at this intersection which could handle the situation. The director optimistically stated he would soon get around to it and install the| lights. About a week ago the lightsi were turned on, but had to be aban- doned because they were totally unfitted for the complex situation at this in- tersection. To gmake it possible for the lights to funftion the Traffic Bureau now wants to make Rock Creek Church road a one-way thoroughfare, move the loading platform south. move one of the lights to another point, and install an additional light above No. 24 engine house. In other words, these lights had to be installed and operated unsuccess- fully before our experts realized the dif- ficulties of the situation, and even now it is doubtful if the true reason for their failure has been perceived. Situation Described. “To visualize the situation at this intersection it must be understood that during the rush period most of the traffic flows north on New Hampshire avenue through this intersection and into Georgia avenue, which, with the lights in operation. is a left-hand turn. For all this traffic to pull to the right of the intersection and wait for the change of lights is just naturally impossible. ‘The only way it can be managed is to divert about 50 per cent of the traffic to some other route, and that is what will happen if the recommendations of the traffic director are accepted and | ;}19 lights maintained at this intersec- on, “I therefore insist that Rock Creek Church road remain as it is, and that some one suggest to the traffic director that he remove these lights to some other intersection.” i T R Herndon Woman Buried.

SN TOTA SOUEHTFORPLAZA $1,277,746 Asked to Devel- op Squares Nearest to Capitol Grounds. ‘The supplemental estimate just sub- mitted by the President of $1,277,746 for | development of the squres nearest to| the Capitol grounds as the first area to | be improved in the Capitol-to-Union- | Station project, being the squares di- rectly west of the Senate Office Build- ing, added to the $3,614,668 asked for in the budget, brings the total carrled in the legislative lpprogflnuon act this year for extension of the Capitol grounds up to a total of $4,802.414. Included in the $3,614,668 estimate is the cost of acquiring additional land for the new avenue to run from Union Sta- tion to Pennsylvania avenue at Second street.

The inside story of “a secretary's day | at the White House” remains cloaked | in the secrecy it has always worn, so | far as Walter Newton, personal secre- | tary to President Hoover, is concerned, who was asked last night to talk on this subject at the dinner of the League of | Republican Women, held at the City Club. Declaring that a secretary's job was to be seen and not heard, Mr. Newton | | “covered” his subject with one sweeping | remark, leaving it to the imagination of his audience to fill in the gaps. “A sec- retary’s day at the White House,” he | said, “begins at 7 o'clock in the morn- | ing with the formation of the medicine ball cabinet on the lawn, where we wait for the sun to rise and then get busy— and it ends often well into the night.” For the rest of the daily program, the secrotary suggested that his hearers come into the new presidential offices some day “where thare are now ample accommodations for those who are will ing to watch and wait.” He concluded his remarks by express- ing the hope that, aided by his former colleagues on Capitol Hill, he would be able to bring about a spirit of close co-operation between the executive and legislative branches of the Government. He praised the work of the Republican women in the past campaign and pre- dicted even greater success attending their efforts in 1932. Representative Katherine Langley of Kentucky and Samuel G. Prescott. chairman of the Republican State com- mittee for the District of Columbia, also addressed the dinner gathering. Mrs. | Langley stresscd woman's responsibili- ties as a homemaker and a citizen, | declaring that the one need not conflict with the other, but devotion to both constitutes the well rounded life of the modern woman. She added that service was the keynote of a woman's life. Mr. Prescott outlined the functions of the State Republican committee of the *I have just heard the mew Victor-Radio with Electrola . . .
