WARNING GONGS URGED FOR SAFETY Veteran Driver ‘Also Sug- gests Left-Turn Ban and Control of Pedestrians. Warning gongs to reinforce traffic lights at isolated intersections, aboli- tion of left turns in the downtown section of the city, rigid control of pedestrians, limitation of the number of taxicabs and reduction of the number of no-parking signs where no enforcement is provided are among suggestions made for the improvement of local trafic conditions in a letter received by The Evening Star Safety Council from Guido R. de Nuccio, 7542 Twelfth street. Mr. de Nuccio, who has driven auto- mobiles for 25 years without accident. holds a safety star emblem awarded him in Pennsylvania after 15 years of driving without accident and has signed a Star safe driving pledge. Cites “False Economy.” He characterizes the failure of the Budget Bureau and Congress to grant the request of Maj. Ernest W. Brown, superintendent of police, and the Dis- trict Commissioners for additional policemen as “false economy,” which | “will cost a whole lot more to the people through accidents and rob- beries.” Dealing with the suggestion that bells be used to supplement traffic signal lights, Mr. de Nuccio said: “This is certainly an excellent idea, but T would apply them only to those | isolated lights that anybody unfamlllari with the city may pass unnoticed.” | Urging the abolition of the left turn | in the downtown section, the writer said: “How can a pedestrian cross a street in safety with cars turning in front and back of him? Is it not| much better to forbid left turns and ! compel all drivers to go around an| extra block?” Urges Pedestrian Control. H On the subject of pedestrian control, | Mr. de Nuccio said: “Why are they not regulated as strictly as the drivers? The greatest | majority of us play both rolls of pedes- trians and drivers and we ought to see the problem from both sides. As it jars us to see a driver making a| faux pas, when we are walking, like- wise it jars a driver to see a pedestrian cross a street in the middle of a block, THE EVENING STAR, A.AA.

Five hundred safe driving pledge cards have been provided by the Star Council and these will be distributed for the use of members of the association and their friends and relatives. The arrangements for the safety program are being made under the supervision of J. P. Col- lins, principal of Langley Junior High. Message Goes to Indians. Representing the’ Ogala Tribe of Sioux Indians on business in Wash- ington, Joseph Thomas Ward, who bears the Indian name of Wicarpi Wiyakpa, has joined The Star Safety Council and will carry the message of safe driving back to members of the tribe on the Sioux reservation in South Dakota. His Indian name is jranslated as Star that Giveth Forth Light. As s emeans of arousing motorists in the military service to the need for eternal vigilance and care in driving, the United Services Automobile Asso- ciation, under the leadership of Col. James H. Bryson, Field Artillery, na- tional president, has sent copies of the article “—And Sudden Death” to its members, The Star Council | has been notified by Col. Hugh C. Smith, office of the judge advocate general, War Department. In a letter to its members accom- panying the article, the association said: serious automobile accidents is alarm- ing. Insurance companies, safety councils, civic clubs and newspapers are doing what they can to awaken the driving public to the fact that the automobile is a dangerous ma- chine. * * ¢ “For your own information, your own safety, possibly your own life. will you not read the article?

If half of the population of | this city goes day in and day out every day to offices or stores and park their cars free for the whole day, why should the other half of the tax-paying pop- ulation have to go around for blocks and blocks without finding a chance to park for even a short time their cars? The city charges people for oc- cupation of public ground by the square foot and is it not occupied public ground from morning to night the nearly 100 square feet that a car takes up? “Why is not something positive done immediately to improve these condi- tions? Every death or accident hap- pening in the city should remind those in power that they are also partly re- sponsible for that death or accident by allowing conditions to be what they are at present.” PLANE MISSES CROWD TO CRASH, KILLING PAIR By the Associated Prei NEENAH, Wis, November 11.— Bputtering as it swooped low over the heads of 1,500 foot ball spectators, a biplane plunged into the rear yard of a nearby residence yesterday, kill- ing the pilot and a passenger. The dead are Fred Stecker, jr., 26, who authorities believed was the pilot, and Alfred Bauer, 25, the owner. Both were experienced fiyers, but only Stecker held a pilot's license. The plane, purchased by Bauer last Spring, was unlicensed. Power failure was blamed for the 150-foot fall, in which the nose of the plane was buried up to the open cockpit. The yard in which it fell was 150 feet from the shore of Little Lake Butte des Morts, and two blocks from the park where spectators said they noted the motor was sputtering as it circled about, apparently in search for a spot to land.
