CITIZENS PROFFE TRAFFIC PROGRAM Lincoln Park Association Offers 12-Point Plan to Peoples’ Counsel. Striving to assist police officials in their campaign against traffic viola- tors, the Executive Committee of the Lincoln Park Citizens’ Association last night drew up a 12-point traffic pro- gram and presented it to Peoples’ Counsel William A. Roberts, who was at the meeting, held in the Bryan School. Charles C. Gillikin, chairman of the Public Utilities Committee, pre- sented fhe resolution. The program presented to Mr. Roberts was as follows: Auto Inspection Advocated. ‘That the Commissioners be given full power to regulate traffic laws; that & ban be piaced on the “fixing of tickets” where accidents occur; that police personnel be increased; that all automobiles be inspected; that a law for the control of reckless and finan- cially irresponsible motorists be passed by Congress; that an investigation be made of court handling of all traffic cases; that the laws be amended so the driver of an automobile whose car injures any one at an intersection be charged with intent to kill; that parking be prohibited within 24 feet of any congested intersection; that a study shall be made of the speed limits; that drivers under the influ- ence of liquor be given full penalties; that a thorough study of street light- ing be made, and indorsement of the proposed municipal garage. Mr. Roberts assured the associa- tion he would co-operate. He also outlined the present telephone sys- tem, and the method to be used in distributing the 10 per cent refund to the subscribers, and discussed the gas and power situation in the District. Secret Committee Favored. A resolution, presented by Joseph L. Gammell, chairman of the Laws and Legislation Committee, to ap- point five members to serve on a Secret Vigilance Committee to fight crime in the Lincoln Park area, was unanimously adopted. John P. Kern, president, announced that he would appoint the committee later. ‘The group went on record as fa- voring the proposed financial re- sponsibility law for taxicab operators. The association also voted to join the Northeast Conference of Citi- zens’ Associations and to send three delegates to represent them at the meetings. Mr. Gammell explained the association was made up of members from - both the Northeast and Southeast sections amd having joined the Southeast Council of Citi- zens' Associations e few months ago it was for the betterment of the association to join the Northeast Con- ference because the members of the association were interested in prob- lems from both sections. Alfred D. Calvert, P. Blaine and J. T. Albers were appointed as dele- gates to the Northeast Conference. “DICK WHITTINGTON” IS CHRISTMAS PLAY Children's Theater to Bring Pop- ular English Drama Here During Holiday. “Dick Whittington and His Cat” is the choice of the Children’s Theater of New York for its Christmas pres- entation at the National Theater, Priday morning, December 28. The legend of Dick Whittington is the most popular of English Christ- mas plays—the story of the litile country boy who thought London's streets were paved with gold, and who, thgough the aid of his cat, rose from poverty to wealth and high honor, but who never forgot to re- member London's poor. While the spirit of Dick Whitting- ton cannot fail to instill in the for- tunate youngsters who see the play, something of the beneficence of Lon- don’s favorite Lord Mayor, at the same time it is a grand comedy, pos- sessing genuine humor of line, situa- tion and character. It is the perfect Christmas entertainment. This is the third in the series of six plays which the Children’s Thea- ter of New York is presenting in Washington this season, under the sponsorship of the Women's Interna- tional League. Tickets are on sale at the league, the National Theater, the Willard Hotel, T. Arthur Smith and Mrs, Dorsey's Concert Bureau. CUBAN PROBE HINTED Embassy Here May Investigate Stories Injuring Hnrkotl.
