CITIZEN TRAFFIC . OFFICERS URGED Van Duzer Hears Plan to Arrest Violators at Dupont Circle Group Meeting. Appointment of & citizens’ com- mittee vested with power to carry trafic violators to court was offered as a suggestion to William A. Van Duzer, director of the Department of WVehicles and Traffic, at a meeting of the Dupont Circle Citizens’ As- sociation held yesterday afternoon, to aid in reducing automobile accidents and apprehending some of the wiolators. ‘The suggestion was made by William C. Baldwin after Van Duzer had addressed the association on focal traffic conditions. ‘The proposed committee will be similar to the secret 100 observers used two years ago by the Police Depart- ment, but it members must be willing to go to court, and appear against the defendant. > Women Volunteer Services. Some of the women members of the association expressed their will- ingness toact as observers and testify in court. Van Duzer told the citizens that the idea would have to be presented to Superintendent of Police Brown, | as he did not have the authority to | grant the citizens the power. In his address Van Duzer praised | the newspapers for the drives they have conducted to help make the streets safer. He sald that a great | deal of credit for reducing the num- ber of fatalities goes to the news- papers. During the first 10 months of 1934 the traffic deaths were 102; | for the same period. of 1935 the deaths were 92, and for the same period this year the deaths were 70. | Cites Registration Gain, Since 1932, he said, the Federal Government employes have increased from 68,000 to 117,000, and the | registration of motor vehicles since | 1925 has increased 100 per cent, yet | the police force has not been sub- | stantially increased. Van Duzer said that 697 permits, registration cards and tags have been taken from drivers from August 1, | 1935, to October 25, 1936, for driving | while drunk, not paying a judgment | as result of an accident in the specified time and leaving after col- | liding when a person is injured. Only | 43 of these permits have been re- | stored. Of this number 649 was for driving while drunk. The meeting was held in the May- flower Hotel with Woodson P. Hough- ton, first vice president, presiding. —_— GUARD PLANS MADE Becret Service Agents to Rush to Landon if He Wins. DENVER, November 3 (#)—Roland K.
