F—6 Organization Sponsored by A. A. A, Will Represent 20 States—Keystone Auto Club Outlines Policies. By G. Adams Howard. NOTHER parade is scheduled in not as large as others, its impor A clation streets near the schools. Theirs is a noble duty. Training and discipline form no small part of their labors. It is & proud organiza- tion and rightfully one. It is an honor to belong. District residents should turn out in full to pay their tribute to the marchers here next Saturday. Looking forward to official greetings by Vice President Garner and Speaker Bankhead and ready for their sixth annual parade, in which 10,000 boys and girls from 20 States and the Na- tional Capital will be in the line of march, A. A, A. school safety patrols in all sections of the country are ready for their annual visit to Wash- ington on May 21 and 22. Announcing arrangements for the annual conference and parade of the youngsters, who daily safeguard their schoolmates in 3,000 communities, ‘Thomas P. Henry, president of the American Automobile Association, which sponsors the patrols in co- operation with police and school au- thorities, said: “From a small start five years ago, the annual parade of school safety patrols has become a national event. It draws to Washington representa- tives of some 250,000 boys and girls who daily safeguard 5,000,000 school children en route to and from school. Thousands of lives have been saved by these youngsters and it is only fit- ting that a grateful Nation should pay tribute to their splendid service on the occasion of their annual parade end conference. Last year the young- sters were greeted by President Roose- velt on the White House lawn, and this year official greetings will be ex- tended at the Capitol.” Among the States that will be rep- resented by patrol delegations are Florida, Georgia, Ilinois, Indiana, Jowa, Maine, Maryland, Massa- chusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Caro- lina, Ohio, Rhode Island, Pennsyl- vania, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia. The ceremonies in connection with the country’s most spectacular safety demonstration will get under way on Friday, May 21, when the thousands of boys and girls will gather in front of the United States Capitol for offi- cial greetings from Vice President Garner, Speaker Bankhead and the members of the Senate and House of Representatives from the States send- ing safety patrol delegates. In the evening patrol members from the vari- ous States will hold their annual con- ference in the United States Depart- ment of Labor auditorium. The sixth annual parade, one of the most colorful events on the national calendar of youth demonstrations, will be staged at 2 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, May 22. In the reviewing stand will be outstanding leaders in the official and civic life of the Na- tional Capital. A demand that stronger legal bar- riers be erected against diversion to non-highway purposes of taxes levied upon Washington motor car owners is plank No. 1 of a 12-point platform adopted by the membership of the Keystone Automobile Club. This plat- form, written by the club’s Advisory Board and voted upon by the 2,000 members attending Keystone's annual meeting, brands diversion of motor tax funds to unrelated purposes “an unjust, discriminatory and gross mis- use of special tax moneys levied for the express purpose of constructing, maintaining and adequately safeguard- ing public highways.” ‘The platform, calling for numerous activities by the club in the interest of better motoring conditions in Wash- ington and environs, follows: 1. Strengthening that section of the District of Columbia Code which pro- vides that gasoline tax funds shall be used solely for highway and high- way safety purposes, by an amend- ment to include a provision that the use of all motor vehicle tax funds be restricted to the construction, im- provement and maintenance of high- ways and administrative expenses in connection therewith and for no other purposes, as provided in section 12 of the Hayden-Cartwright act. The diversion of motor funds to unrelated purposes is an unjust, discriminatory and gross misuse of special tax moneys, levied for the express purpose of con- structing, maintaining and adequately safeguarding public highways. Its au- tomatic effect is to impose a double burden of taxation upon the motorist, who, in common with other citizens, has already contributed his proper share to general governmental upkeep. Motor fund diversion, which reached the staggering total of approximately $200,000,000 in 1935, has already been prohibited by constitutional amend- ment or statutory requirement in 11 States. 2. No further increase in District | of Columbia motor vehicle taxes. Since a careful study made by the club reveals that the present gasoline | tax of 2 cents per gallon is more | than adequate to take care of the proposed appropriation for highway construction and maintenance in the District during the fiscal year of 1938, there appears to be no justi- fication whatsoever for the imposition of further taxation of motor vehicle owners who are already contributing | more than their fair share of the District’s tax revenue. The motorist is already the most overtaxed clnss‘ of citizen in the United States. One out of every eight dollars collected | for taxes in 1935 came out of the| motorist's pocket. Any further in- crease in his already onerous tax bur- den would undoubtedly lead to cur- tailed car operation and a shrinkage In tax receipts. i 3. Alleged bonding and towing rackets. Continue with renewed en- ergy the club’s relentless battle against all forms of bonding and towing rackets which are discovered in club territory. 4. Relief of congestion at Peace Cross. Since the Motor Patrol of the Keystone Automobile Club as- certained by actual survey on several occasions last Summer that at Peace Cross motorists have been delayed from 15 minutes to nearly two hours in a line of cars more than 7 miles long because of the intolerable bottle- neck conditions existing there, we will continue vigorously our efforts to obtain action by the State Roads Commission which will allevite this situation. 8. Semi-annual eomp\um inspec- annual conference and march of the school boy patrols. bers of this organization, sponsored by the American Automobile Asso- and backed by police heads everywhere, have actually saved lives. Others have prevented injuries and possible fatalities by their presence on the & the National Capital this week. While tance is by no means lesser. It is the Many mem- tion of motor vehicles. The club re- affirms its opposition to this legisla- tion because the careful study which it has made of similar legislation in other States indicates that the results obtained are not commensurate with the cost which must be assessed against motor vehicle owners. The club is of the opinion that present traffic regulations contain ample au- thorization for police to remove me- chanically defective cars from the | streets of the District of Columbia without further cost upon the mo- torist. 6. Parking lot regulation. We will continue our campaign to see that each and every motorist receives fair treatment when his car is damaged or mishandled on a parking lot where he has paid a fee for the parking privilege. 7. Illumination of Mount Vernon Memorial Boulevard. We will con- tinue actively our efforts to obtain the restoration of an appropriation for electric current which will once again permit the use of the ornamental fixtures along this nationally famous boulevard. 8. Silver Spring underpass. Club efforts looking toward relief of the dangerous conditions which prevail at the Silver Spring underpass of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad will be continued. i 9. Improvement of Central avenue. | The Defense Highway between Bla- densburg and Annapolis Maryland, having been termed *one of the coun- | try's outstanding examples of engi- neering monstrosity” the club will continue its efforts with the Maryland | State Roads Commission to widen | and improve Oentral avenue, which is by far the most practical and most direct route between Washington and Annapolis. 10 Formation of a District of Co- lumbia Traffic Safety Commission. { The purpose of such a body would be to plan and co-ordinate under one directing head the activities of all local agencies dealing with the prob- lem of traffic safety and regulation, i and to carry out a comprehensive and | continuous safety program dedicated |to the high cause of accident | reduction. 11. Increase in number of local traf- fic officers. It is generally agreed that the present personnel of the Metro- | politan Police Department assigned to | traffic duty is numerically inadequate for the proper enforcement of the | laws. Numerous tests have proven that the mere presence of police on the roads promotes safer driving, pre- vents accidents and disobedience of the laws. The club is opposed to all efforts to conceal the identity of police cars and police officers assigned to traffic duty. It believes that it is not the job of police to see how many arrests can be made, but to make the highways more safe through the effec- tive curbing of dangerous driving practice. 12. More strict enforcement of traffic regulations pertaining to head- lights. Because of the numerous com- plaints received by the club from motorists concerning inadequate or blinding headlights, the club urges more vigorous enforcement of existing headlight regulations to eliminate ‘“‘one-eyed” cars, cars without any headlights,-or cars with dazzling head- lights, all of which create a serious traffic hazard. o Streamlined Melon. THE Department of Agriculture is out after a streamlined water- melon, an ice box sized melon for the use of the average householder who finds the present type too large for his ice box. It is pointed out that a melon so large that it must be cut before being placed in the refrigera- tor loses much of its flavor. - ! .

Nine per cent of the coaches were wired for electricty but less than 10 per cent had their own lighting plants. ECENTLY, in & report on the trailer situation, the American Municipal Association, which is a clearing house of information for 7,000 cities, outlined the governmental problems involved. Its regulatory pro- posals, the industry and others believe, by no means threaten extinction or even curtailment of the trailer movement. To begin with, the association pro- poses a more intelligent planning of adequate, modern trailer parks and calls for a proper application of health regulations, possibly through amendment of existing codes. It con- from the standpoint of both the com- munity and the trailerer, and finally concedes that this class has not as yet created any welfare or public assist- ance problem. Speaking of trailers as permanent dwellings, the report says: “Rapid progress in design and com- fort of trailers and lower costs through mass production methods have led more than anything else to the rapid acceptance of trailers by the general public. While floor space in trailers i much smaller than in permanent dwellings of almost any kind, in other respects trailers are more comfortable and less costly than many homes. The encouragement of trailers as perma- nent dwellings by municipalities im- plies & willingness by officials and the public alike to face squarely the challenge to traditional housing standards which is now being fur- nished by trailers.” A brief survey of the present status of trailer regulations discloses that | 43 States now require registration of trailers. The registration fee varies from $1 to $15, with an average of $5. The Trailer Coach Manufacturers’ Association wants a uniform law call- ing for & 25 cents per 100 pounds weight. In 30 States trailers are taxed as personal property. This is because trailers have been consistently re- garded as vehicles. To consider them real property appurtenant to land involves too many complications. 8 INDICATED in the Yellowstone survey, the price range on trailers generally runs from about $100 for a mere shanty on wheels to a really cleverly-equipped and inviting, taste- fully finished little rolling bungalow selling for around $1,500. Models built to order will cost anything one cares to pay. The higher-priced models of this year are a distinct advance over any- thing yet achieved by the industry, which now has virtually crowded the homemade product out of the picture. Some of the latest constitute a mina- ture suite, not altogether unlike an oversized doll's house. In it may be | found small sized, usually, all the vital appurtenances of housekeeping. ‘There is a duplex dining and living room equipment that magically may be transformed into sleeping quarters for as many as six persons, a built-in kitchen with patent gas or gasoline stove, ice box and sink, and bath room, while every possible leftover inch of space has been fashioned into varying | sized cupboards and closets.

N EW YORK, May 15.—Although the theater still has a few remnants up its raveled sleeve, the show is nearly over and the time has come to Whatever you may hear, there is, actually, & reason for them. The actors have a habit of regarding Times Square as a university of very hard knocks, meaning, of course, the reviewers and others. Having applied the rod«< all season, it is a pleasure then, in the Maytime, to award diplomas and scat- ter black eyes before sending the boys and girls off to frolic in the pasture along the cow-barn circuit.
