Inspection (Continued From Pirst Page) = N am hopeful that the Commissioners’ recommendations for legislation will be promptly transmitted to Congress. Thus the way for such legislation has been cleared. “District authorities have indicated they are alive to the need for eliminat- ing unsafe vehicles from the streets of the National Capital and Congress should give them, and give them quickly, the necessary legislation.” Traffic Director William A. Van | Duzer received news of the Budget Bureau's withdrawal of its objections to the safety inspection law enthusi- | astically. “Enactment of the safety inspection Jaw,” Van Duzer said, “will go far toward checking accidents here.” A compulsory automobile inspection law for the District passed the House in 1935 in the first session of the Seventy-fourth Congress. It was on the calendar in the Senate last year, ‘but was not acted upon because the | Budget Bureau refused to allow the Commissioners to give it their ap- proval. Van Duzer said the three inspection centers could be established at a cost of approximately $85,000. Fifteen men would be stationed in each garage. Motorists under the proposed law, would be charged $1 for each in- spection during the first year it was in effect and 50 cents for an inspec~ tion in subsequent years. FUNERAL RITES TODAY FOR MRS F.

We will operate a ‘death | watch’ until he gives us a hearing.” Schrank told reporters the chief complaint of the administrative em- ployes is against a pay cut srheduledI from April 7 to April 17. He said the reduction would average $12 per month and in some cases would reduce | pay by as much as $30. | The administrative employes from | which his organization is drawn, | Schrank contended, get salaries rang- ing from $85 to $120 a month. “We are bona fide relief people and | we cannot live on $55 a month,” he said. e ne: Hopkins' Order Protested. Another protest is directed against VWITH # singing heart Merry propellud the carpet sweeper down the | long, lushly car- peted hotel corri- dor. What matter that & “mortar board” had, not so | long since, covered the red brown curls on which now rest- ed a perky little maid’s cap. For to Merry that same wisp of starched lawn meant hot food, & warm room and—so important —an opportunity M to continue her be- ¥ loved art course. Yesterday had been different. No money. No job. and the letter from home reluctantly explaining that the small stipend on which scantily subsisted could no longer be spared. Merry sensed the tears that simple little message had cost, and it stiffened her lip. She was on her own now. And somewhere in this big grim city was some ~ne who was going to pay for something she could do. What it was that “sold” the busy hotel housekeeper she knew not. But, anyway, here she was. And though those first few hard days took their toll in aching muscles and broken nails, Mrs. Howe's rewarding smile told her she was making good. * ok K X AND then came Jimmy, cherubic of face, yet a nemesis in short pants. Not that Jimmy craved titles. The one obsession of his 7-year-old brain was for playmates of record and the wide open spaces of home. A three-day interment in the big city hotel had dimmed the zest of riding uncounted times in the elevator and even of sitting on a high stool in the coffee shop ordering unaccustomed delicacies unchecked by maternal “dont’s.” Returning now from e quite super=- fluous midmorning sundae, Jimmy re- luctantly inched his way to the family suite. Suddenly he espied a white card on the door of No. 1414, Its legend, “Do Not Disturb,” conveyed nothing to Jimmy. Nor (had he known it) the fact that No. 1414’s occupant was the busy night editor of a big daily, whose patronage of the hotel was strictly contingent on his daytime rest never being disturbed. * K K X S!GNB on bed room doors were new to Jimmy. So, instanter, the board was off No. 1414 and in his slightly grimy hands. Its amuse- ment possibilities, however, proving nil, he disgustedly considered its dx.g- posal on the fire escape. Then, in changing mood, returned it to the doorknob—of No. 1416, Impossible for him to know that, in the long past, the acrimonious lady professor who paid substantially for No. 1416, had made solemn pact with the management, that, barring fire, storm or other acts of God, her room would always be ready for her mid- day return. So uninformed and un- caring, James, jr., went on his duil way, just as Merry, hurrying to get through, errived on the scene. In due time No. 1410 and 1412 were spic and span. Came No. 1414. And, with no warning to deter her, the girl's master key slipped the lock blithely, and into the darkened room of the sleeping night editor she barged. An infuriated roar from the bed— “Get out. Pamn it. Do you hear? “We have asked Mr. Hopkins | “Do you hear? Get out!” she had | D. (. SATURDAY, 5 Pickets Protest W.P. A.

Drage Browne. Get out!™ Startled into speechlessness Mer- ry backed out and snapped to the door. W—why the old b—baboon— why didn't he say he didn't want to be disturbed? Which Larry Sco- ville had, very definitely. * ok ok ¥ PRESENTLY she recalled the work still undone and prepared to enter No. 1416. Just in time she saw the “Do Not Disturb” sign with which Jimmy had placarded the lady professor’s door and drawing back as though it had fangs, scurried on to her next task. Meanwhile the aggrieved night editor was burning up the hotel mana- ger’s wire with scorching invective, but long years of handling tempera- mental customers had invested that official with incredible tact. So when his angry guest was finally placated, followed a suggestion to the house- keeper that the maid resnonsible be replaced. Mrs. Howe's liking for Merry, however, won her a reprieve. But alas for the girl: At high noon the lady professor turned her key in {No. 1416. In one outraged eyeful she took in the horrid details of dis- | ordered bed and furniture. Seizing the phone she demanded of the mana- ger instant explanation. Once more that suave gentleman dispensed apolo- gies, but his subsequent order to the housekeeper to fire that dumb cluck new maid was sharply final. * K ok X REGRE'[‘FUL but busy, Mrs. Howe sent for Merry and told her briefly her services were no longer required. The sheer injustice sent Merry from the room defiant. Fired from a maid’s job! By the time she reached the fourteenth floor to turn in her working tools her courage ebbed. Christmas was so near and the little black purse so empty. Her cheeks wet with tears, she paused momentarily as she passed No. 1414 and muttered a baleful “It's all your fault, you hateful old ‘hing. At that instant the door of No. 1414 swung open and into the cor- ridor quickly stepped the night editor. Slightly taken back by the sight of a tearful, pretty girl shaking her fist at him, Larry Scoville stopped short.
