" -ROBERTS PRESSES SUBWAY PROPOSAL Rhode Island Avenue Group | Also Hears Parking Lots Advocated. Subways and Government-operated parking garages were advocated last night by People’s Counsel William A. | Roberts as a means of relieving traffic | congestion in the business section of the city. Roberts spoke before the Rhode Island Avenue Citizens' Asso- | ciation, meeting in the Woodridge Subbranch Library. | Characterizing the proposals as his “pets,” the people’s counsel declared, | with respect to the former: “I won't| stop talking about subways until I| ride in one in Washington.” | Stating that over 3,000 vehicles have been accommodated at one time on| the lot in the rear of the District Building, naying a concessionaire for | the privilege of parking on Govern- ment property, the people’s counsel declared that the construction of one or more parking garages in the down- | town area, financed by equal contn-‘ butions from the District and Federal Governments, is the only solution to | the private vehicle problem. | “I think that there is a large ele-| ment of our community that cannot be forced onto the common carriers with standards as they are today,” he | added. Hits Parking Prices. Lashing forth at private parking lot operators, Roberts said, “I don't be- lieve the public should be required to pay half its income to park.” The projected Government garages would charge according to cost of operation. The fight waged by civic groups and himself to secure a satisfactory system of bridging, involving the Baltimore & Ohio tracks and New York avenue, was viewed by the people’s counsel as more of a failure than a victory. He pointed out that the plan finally de- cided upon is less extensive than the system ordered constructed in 1903 and stated that it is not designed to handle the traffic flow of the area in the most efficient manner. Referring to a resolution voted by the Rhode Island avenue group ex- pressing doubt that the regulation re- quiring heavy truck traffic to use ladensburg road and New York ave- nue instead of Rhode Island avenue or Monroe street and calling upon the District Commissioners to take steps for the construction of a by-pass| around the city to divert such traffic, Roberts called attention to the fact that the proposal in question includes & toll bridge feature. He asked: “Can you imagine truck- ers going 20 miles out of their way to pay a toll? If you want to do some- thing practical to remove truck traffic THE hew elleffs MUTT AND JEFF— DID You CALL THAT LEAK IS FLOODING Tmf; | from the downtown section, the only} way is to provide a route which will save the truck operators money.” Speed Drive Commended. H. S. Huggins, secretary of the body, | announced receipt of a commumcu-’ tion from Director of Vehicles and Traffic William A. Van Duzer stating | that permission had been granted by the Maryland State Roads Commis- | sion for erection of a Girecting sign in | the Hyattsville area, the location as yet to be decided on. Other action taken at last night's meeting included adoption of a reso-" lution reguesting that $150,000 be allo- | cated from any remaining funds of the | Works Progress Administration for the construction of a swimming pool on the grounds of the Taft Recreational Center; commendation of the anti- speeding drive of the Police Depart- ment and an expressiom of apprecia- tion for the work done in this re- spect within the territory of the asso- ciation; indorsement of the safe-driv- ing campaign of The Evening Star; appointmen’, of a special committee to study “the reasons for and the re- sults jobtained by the creation of the Department of Motor Vehicles and Traffic’; request directed to the Pub- lic Utilities Commission for the ex-| | tension of the bus serving the Taft School in order to tap the Greenvale | area, and order for a committee study of the relative merits of the meter and zone systems of faxicab operation. | Man, 81, Wins Air Trip, Likes It.

I Merry-Go-Round for Fish Hurricanes Blamed for Nova Scotia’s Fishing Troubles. ALIFAX, Nova Scptia (#).—A merry-fo-round for deep-sea H the coast of Nova Scotia, set up by the same tropical hurricanes which lashed the southern tip pf Florida and tossing the liner Dixie on a reef. This is the latest woe traced to these annual storms, a disturbance of com- mercial fishing in one of the greatest fishing grounds of the world, which lies 1,000 miles or more from the areas visibly devastated by these winds. Hurricanes “Recurve.” The mechanics of the under-water merry-go-round are explained by H.| | pressure changes are sharp. In them B. Machey in a report of the Atlantic biological station and the fisheries ex- perimental station of the Biological Board of Canada. Numerous hurri- canes “recurve” at the southeastern tip of the United States and follow fish has been discovered off | grasp and too slow in movement of the water to attract attention ot even to | explain the profound changes it pro- duces beneath the ocean’s surface. Cold Water Replaced. 1t results in warm surface waters replacing the colder water ordinarily lying in the inshore depths. This cold water it replaces. The fish which like the cold, salty water disappear. The movement of the winds in driv- ing werm surface water inshore may have something to do with the change, but changes in pressure are thought to be the principal mechanisms at work. In the hurricane area these the immense weight of the air on the water varies so much that the water the coast line up past the Carolinas, : New England and Canada. As they travel north, the hurricanes | mushroom, growing frequently wider | in area, until they sweep into the North Atlantic with diameters of hun- dred of miles. In them all the winds blow counter-clockwise. As they pass the fishing grounds off Nova Scotia, their northern edges are lined with winds driving the surface waters in- shore. Reaching shore, these winds turn southward, and then roar back out to sea again when the tail of the storm passes. The result is to produce a vortex, too immense for the eye to Action!
