KENEIPP OPPOSES IMPOUNDING AUTOS Keystone Club Manager Says Drastic Action in Parking Cases Not Justified. George E. Keneipp, manager of the Keystone Automobile Club, yes- terday expressed opposition to the proposed motor vehicle impounding regulation, claiming that such a dras- tic provision is not justified by local parking conditions. In a letter to Wallace B. Robinson, chairman of the Traffic Committee of the Washington Board of Trade, which was in reply to a request for expressions of opinion asked by Rob- inson, he said: “The real test of the need of an - jmpounding amendment is whether ot not all other methods of enforce- nent have been tried and found lack- ing,” which, he added, has not been the case in the District. “We believe,” Keneipp wrote, “that the elimination of ‘ticket fixing,’ coupled with the continued diligence of our police and traffic officials in making the payment of fines imposed for violation of parking regulations » condition of the issuance of new license plates, should be altogether adequate and sufficient to properly control the enforcement of the time limit on parking.” According to the Keystone man- ager, the motorists’ organization feels that the proposed regulation presup- poses a condition of parking law vio- Jation which does not exist here on a large scale.

By the Associated Press BOSTON, November 25.—Donald R. Richberg, executive director of the National Emergency Council, today told a large gathering of New England businessmen and industrialists the time was ripe for them to take over the load of unemployment. Addressing the tenth New England conference, Richberg said: “I am one of those who thinks that private enterprise should now take over the load. I think private enter- prise and bankers are ready; that all that is needed is a Nation-wide move- ment to take the load off the Govern- ment.” Discusses Hours, Wages. Asserting his faith in the present economic system and describing all “transient,” Richberg asserted: “No permanent political or econbmic system can be built in a modern nation that is not founded on the voluntary and intelligent co-operation of a free people. Discussing shorter hours and in- creased wages, he said that unless per- | manent opportunites of employment were speedily made effective “we may soon find that shorter hours, increased wages and increased production costs | will not relieve, but, on the contrary, may increase, the problem of unem- | ployment, which must be solved.” | The fundamental issue of the re- | covery program Richberg described in this fashion: “How are we to develop a planned economy which is neither Fascist nor Communist in character, which is determined by no dictator- ship or autocracy, and which aims not to regiment a citizenship in serv- ice to the State—but to organize a free people better for service to them- | selves “This ideal of economic planning.” e said, “is an ideal in harmony with political planning for self-government. It is in harmony with the ideals of those who first wrote the Declaration of Independence and then the Con- sfitution of the United States.” | Reccmmendations that a Federal agency be established to study this | country's banking problems, and that | further legislation on the banking | situation be deferred until such a study has been made, were placed be- | fore the conference by Guy Emerson. | vice president of the Bankers' Trust | Co,, New York. | Citizens to Meet. | BALLSTON, Va., November 24 | (Special). —The Ballston Citizens’ As- | sociation will meet at the fire house Tuesday evening.
