ROME, Italy, November 25.—Observ- ers were confident today that yester- day’s conference between Minister Dino Grandi and” Maxim Litvinov, Soviet | envoy, was a step in framing the second | part of the important Italian-Russiar trade treaty signed last August. That treaty did not specify what Italy was to buy from the Soviets. Under its terms Russia agrees to buy $10,000,000 of Italian manufactured goods during 1930 and 1931.

The grand jury today took up the cudgel against racketeering in the Dis- trict of Columbia when it reported to Justice Peyton Gordon two indictments charging three men with destroying or attempting to destroy two wagon loads of milk and cream through pouring & poisonous substance over the bottles while the drivers were making deliveries in apartment houses near Connecticut and Cathedral avenues, November 16. The motive is said to have been retalia- tion for refusal of the drivers to join & union. Those indicted are Harry Maynard Rothgeb, dairy deliveryman and secre- tary of the Milk Drivers and Dairy Em- ployes' Union, No. 246; Elmer OCarr Rayford, business manager of the Taxi- to | cab Drivers’ Union, and Richard Conte, a taxicab driver.

Group Disagrees With Dr. McClintock on Set-up of Organization. AGREE THAT CONGRESS SHOULD PASS 4 LAWS Expert and Committee Oppose Present Method of Making Left Turns. The report of the Trafic Advisory Committee and Council, appointed by Sommissioner Herbert B. Crosby last Summer, was formally presented to the Commissioners ta their board session this afternoon. With it went a report of Dr. Miller McClintock, traffic special- ist of Harvard University, employed by the National Capital Park and Planning Commission to integrate the reports of the various subcommittees and submit findings of his own. The whole makes up & document of about 75,000 words. Dr. McClintock’s recommendations are in many respects directly the opposite of those made by the committee. The meeting this afternoon was specially called to deal with the reports, but owing to the immense. mass of data, 1t is not expected that any decision will be reached for some time. Principal among the conflicting recommendations now before the city heads are those dealing with the new set-up of the various organizations hav- ing to do with traffic in its many aspects. The burden of the reports of the committee and council was that these organizations should be de- centralized. The that runs through Dr. McClintock’s document is that they should be severely centralized. Asks New Organization. Dr. McClintock's view is that & new organization, to be known as the de- partment of vehicles and t:affic, be set . This would be in charge of a traffic. engineer. Under this new department will come the work of issuing operators’ licenses, registration of automobiles, registration of ti'les under a proposed automobile title law, operation of the new financial responsibility Jaw which is proposed, installation and maintenance of signs lnfl traffic signals and the prosecution of research nn;dmmmnz of engineering mfli— and committee recommended that 'hue duties be transferred to the Police i, except for the matter of revocation of operators’ permits, which is recommended to be in the hands of a new officer appointed by the Board of gol:gnmlmm and responsible directly jem. Agree on Four New Acts. Both reports agree that four new acts should be passed by Congress—one a motor vehicle registration similar to the one now in effect, but considerably amplified and conforming closely to Lhe standard prescribed by the Natlonal Conference on Motor Vehicle Legisla- tlon; two, a motor vehicle title act, also recommended by the conference and known in some States as an “anti- theft act”; three, a motor vehicle op- erators’ act dealing with such matters as the issuance of operators’ permits and their revocation, and following :he lines of the one recommended by the safety conference: four, the safety re- ; | sponsibility bill, which provides, in sub- stance, that after conviction for certain offenses, or after unsatisfied judgments . | rendered against & motor vehicle op- erator, he may not obtain a new permit without filing a bond or other evidence that he can satisfy judgments against him, and, five, a revamping of the traf- fie act which will give the Commission- ers the power to promulgate traffic reg- ulations on their own initiative. At present the regulations must be initiat- ed by the traffic director. Conflict on Left Turn. One of the conflicts on this point at the moment relates to the left turn. ‘The Commissioners are known to favor a return to the old left turn system. but the traffic director favors the pres- ent rotary system. Both Dr. McClin- tock's report and that of the Traffic Committee recommend a return to the old system of making left turns. Another important difference between Dr. McClintock and the committee is that the former would abclish any fixed speed limit in the District, and instead write a speed regulation in general terms. His suggestion is: “No person 25. — Former | 8hall drive a vehicle at a speed greater than reasonable and prudent, having due regard for the traffic, surface and width of the street, and the hazard at intersections, and any other conditions then existing.” This Is referred to as the “basic rule,” and & second paragraph of the rule lays down the law that every car must be driven at such a speed that its driver can bring it to a stop in order to avoid collision with any person or other vehicle legally on the road. The following speeds are indi- for certain conditions: Fifteen miles an hour to pass schools during recess or opening or closing hours;_for_approaching grade or street (Continued on Page 2, Calnmn 2) 'HOOVER FOR CIVIC FIGHT ON RACKETS Emphatically Denies Recent Re- ports of Intention to Ask Con- gress for Legislation.

So much difference of opinion has re- sulted over the proposed location of the War and Navy RTOUP that the commis- sion decided to d formal Hearings. ‘Three principal locations are understood to be under consideration, one facing B street southwest not far from the Capi- tol Building: another on the corner of Seventeenth street and Pennsylvania avenue, opposite the present old State, War and Navy Building, and a third in the general area between the Interior Department and the Naval Hospital. A fourth was discussed some time ago, on the north side of Pennsylvania avenue somewhere between the municipal cen- ter and Eleventh street. The Fine Arts Commission is sald to favor the site on Pennsylvania avenue west of the State, War and Navy Building. ‘The new War and Navy structure will take care of a host of employes, includ- ing virtually all of the group in the big Navy and Munitions Buildings in the Mall. These concrete structures, built during the war, are destined for destruction, as they were put up as temporary buildings, but are of a permanent construction. They mar the Mall plan, and are to go_ eventually, according to the plan for Washington development. Razing Starts in January. In letting the contract for tearing down the old market, the Treasury notified the contractor that he was authorized to begin work 10 deys after notification to proceed.

The Treasury Department some time ago officially notified the Department of Agriculture of its in- tenticn to proceed, under the law, to tear down the old market.

Enraged because a 500-pound safe which they had thrown out a window and battered open contained no money, bugrlars are belleved to have set a blaze in the office of the Action Puel Co., at 911 South Capitol street, last midnight, which caused from $3,000 to $5,000 damage before it could be ex- tinguished an hour later. Police estimated it would have re- quired at least three, and probably four men to hoist the stroni x over the sill and roll it into the coal yard. There they set upon it with hammer and chisel, breaking a hole through the door and pmn&n off. Company of cials, however, make bank deposits at the close of each business day.

It was learned, however, that the brief is being scanned in_the department and that .lt probably will be considered in the formulation of a statement the Attorney General is ex- pected to make shortly regarding Sec- tion 29 and, in particular, the sale of grape concentrate and similar products. On behalf of Frult Industries, Inc., which as a member of the Grape Con- trol Board, Ltd., of California, is pri- marily interested in disposing of the equivalent of each year's surplus grape crop, it was said that the brief repre- sents “nothing new” in the prohibition controversy.
