JAIL CONGESTION HIT BY CITIZENS Mid-City Group Adopts Res- olution Urging Funds for New Structure. The overcrowded and insanitary conditions of the District Jail, par- ticularly in the handlirg ot prison- ers charged with felonies, was ¢ sailed last night by the Mid-city Ci zens' Association in a Tesolution which requested the appropriation of sufficient funds by Congress to ac- quire a new site for and the building of a new jail. The “dilatory” tactics of those re- sponsible for delaying action on im- portant District legislation in the House was protested in another resolu- tion adopted. The resolution states that “for reasons unknown™ various subcommittees in the House have re- fused to report out important leg- islation, principally the proposed | bill to strengthen the gambling laws | of the District, and requested that immediate steps be taken by those in authority to compel a report to be made at the earliest possible date. Traffic Officials Speak. The urgent need for stricter observ- ance of traffic regulations by both pedestrians and drivers was stressed by Traffic Director William A. Van| Duzer and his assistant, M. O. Eld- | ridge, guest speakers. Van Duzer said one of the greatest needs is for stricter driving’ examinations. Even- tually, he ‘said, he believed his de- partment would have to re-examine those who now have permits to weed out those physically unfit. A The association went on record in | favor of a bill introduced in the House | to liberalize the divorce laws of the District. The group requested, how- ever, an amendment requiring per- | sons to wait five days after taking out marriage licenses before marrying. MRS.

She wore the same | black suit as yesterday and carried a coat over her arm. | Her husband, nervous as usual, ap- | peared better dressed than he did | yesterday. | The two babies of two of the woman prisoners were also back in court and | they set up their crying as soon as | their mothers entered the prisoners’ | dock. | The secret hearing was resumed as | soon as Mrs. Switz sat down. .

C, TUESDAY, MARCH 26, 1935. FORD NOT ACTIVE IN U. S. BIDDING Manufacturer Fails to Ask Con- tract on C. C. C. Equip- ment. Henry Ford is doing little business with the Government despite recent overtures to heal the breach with the Detroit manufacturer, the Associated Press said today. Although the Government is in the field for approximately 10,000 trucks and cars, Ford agents have submitted few bids, and in many instances these were reported to be higher than those Pt their competitors, eliminating Ford from all but a few contracts. Ford was shut out of Government contracts for months for failure to certify compliance with the automo- bile code, but recently there was an understanding that certification by his agents, based supposedly on an im- plied guarantee from Detroit, was to allow him to participate. The War Department had sought to interest Ford in bidding for more than 4,000 vehicles for C. C. C. camps, but when bids for 3,950 trucks were opened yesterday there was none from Ford among them. This contract now is expected to go to General Motors. It amount to $2,750,000. Ford agents bid on 435 passenger cars wanted by the War Department, but was un- derbid by the Fargo Motor Col Pure Irish linen, mix-size. ~—Main Floor. . $1 Slip-on Sweaters Novelty knit slip-ons, in new Spring weaves and col- c or combinations.
