) A—4 wn Child Tratfic Safety Council Formed to CutTollinD. C. Recreational Facilities To Be One of Objectives Of New Organization A Child Traffic Safety Council was | formed yesterday at a meeting| called by the District Recreation De- - partment to discuss traffic safety for | children. The session was held at| Rossell School, Ninth and E streets | AV | Plans were outlined for organiza- tion of committees, heads of which | are to be named by Milo Christian- | sen, acting co-ordinator of the Rec- reation Department, before the next | meeting of the group, February 6. | Officers will be elected at that time. | Among committees to be formed are recreation facilities, legislation, program, publicity, planning and neighborhood safety education. Baltimore Plan a Pattern. The council yesterday indicated that it would follow a plan used in Baltimore, whereby school children regulate their safety in groups simi- lar to student councils. James Wil- ley of the Junior Board of Com- merce’s Safety Committee spoke concerning the Baltimore organiza- | tion at yesterday’s meeting. The “alarming” number of rec- | reation areas now being used for defense purposes was pointed to by Mr. Christiansen. “If things continue for the next | six months as they have for the last six weeks, the result will be harmful | not only to safety but to health,” he | said, referring to play areas being | put to defense uses. | Calling attention to the increase in child trafic deaths in 1941 as compared to 1940, Mr. Christiansen pointed out that “we may not have | bombs, but we certainly will always | have a daily traffic problem.” Lack of Facilities Hit. | Lack of facilities for amusing | children in already established rec- | reation areas was scored by Mrs. Florence Savoy, assistant in the health and physical education di-| vision of District public schools. Present at the meeting yesterday | were Herman V. Schreiber, safety engineer, Capital Traction Co.; Harry A. Calevas of the Keystone Automobile Club, Charles H. Cun-| ningham, recreation secretary of the | Council of Social Agencies; George | C. Shinn, administrative assistant,| Department of Vehicles and Traffic; Mr. Wiley, Mrs. Cora Wells Thorpe, chairman, Women's Com- | mittee of the American Automobile Association; Mrs. C. D.

L. Young of the Com- | munity Center and Playground De- partment, H. C. English, assistant | director of the District Recreation Department, and Mr. Christiansen, who presided.

Traffic Toll Killed in 1942 __ o bl Killed in same period of 1941.13 Toll for all of 1941 95 Policeman John Auffenberg, 44, of the third precinct, was injured late yesterday while attempting to halt traffic so fire engines might pass the intersection at Connecticut avenue and K street NW. He was struck in the back of his head and on his left shoulder by a northbound | Mount Pleasant street car, accord- ing to the police report.

Lemuel Bolles, execu- | after a conference with defense offi- cials. Col. Bolles pointed out that fires | of air raids, and said regular fire- | men would need considerable help in such an emergency. Fire Chief Stephen T. Porter has arranged a training course of 50 hours for auxiliary firemen. They are given a thorough course in the | rudiments of fire-fighting, including | how to deal with incendiary bombs. | “Chief Porter,” said Col. Bolles, | “is doing a splendid job building up | the fire department for the crisis | that Washington may face. This |is an opportunity for able-bodied men to perform an important war service.” More auxiliary policemen and | more air-raid wardens in certain | sections of the city are needed, it | was explained, but the need for | firemen is more vital. Volunteers for fire service should enroll at the fire station nearest their homes. They will be given a | physical examination and be en- ‘Arolled for the training course.

S. History By the Associated Press. Less than four hours after it re- ceived the request from its Appro- pristions Committee, the House | voted unanimously yesterday to pour | another $12,525872,474 into this Na- | tion's drive to seize aerial mastery | over the foes of the United Nations, wherever they may be found.

Record Military Outlay. It is the largest single outlay for military purposes ever proposed in Congress, but only a small part of the $56.000,000,000 of war expendi- | tures which President Roosevelt, in his budget message at the start of { WOODWARD 10™ 1™ F avo G StreETS ¥ the session, outlined for tae fiscal year beginning July 1. Provided are $933,000,000 to ex- pand aircraft plants, build bomber assembly plants and construct facili- ties for production of explosives and incendiary materials; $7,144,056,340 for complete planes, $1,547,948,529 for armament, cannon, ammunition, bombs and pyrotechnics, $1,900,000,- 000 for spare engines and parts, and approximately $1,000,000,000 for Sig- nal Corps and Chemical Warfare Service supplies. The vote by which the House sent the bill on its way toward final enactment was a foregone con- clusion. No sign of opposition to the plane program developed during the short debate and except for in- clusion in the bill of $30,000,000 to bulld aniother dam in the Tennessee Valley Authority system, the vote could have come in the first hour. But after a bitter exchange, largely along partisan lines, the bill went through bearing the separate ap- propriation to build Douglas Dam, on the French Broad River, near Dandridge, Tenn.
