Traffic Program Adopted City Approves Code, Parking Changes Overriding objections from a small group of business men representing interests on Las Olas blvd.

and on Andrews the Ft. Lauderdale city commission today gave Police Chief Roland R. Kelley authority to put sweeping traffic reforms into effect. Objections for the most part stemmed from opposition to parking bans on Andrews ave, and on Las Olas blvd. Only one change was made in the revised regulations, which Kelley will place in effect immediately.

A proposal to make Las Olas from the Intracoastal, terway east to street a one-way was changed continue twoway traffic. Parking will be permitted only on the south side of the boulevard. The resolution empowering the police chief and the city manager to put the new regulations into effect was opposed on roll call vote by Commissioner F. R. Humphrie.

The model code, -alley emphasized, has no connection with the proposed new regulations affecting traffic signals, left turns, and parkine restrictions.

The new -ode which has the approval of the Southeastern Safety conference, will bring Ft. Lauder le into niformity with existing traffic codes in other states.

Both commissioners were under the impression that they could stall the entire program by requiring three readings.

City Attorney Thomas O. Berryhill confirmed White's explanation that while an ordinance was required on the parking meter question, the rest of the traffic regulation proposal became effective on passage of the enabling resolution.

UP) President Truman's request for 000,000 more in taxes than the Senate Finance committee recommended brought this reply today from Committee Chairman George (D-Ga): "Not one more cent as far as I am concerned." The veteran senator added, in talking to a reporter, that he is confident the Senate will approve without substantial change the crease voted his committee. estimated are $5,506,000,000 tax inThe Senate broke up in an angry frame of mind Thursday night after Senator Douglas (D-Ill), one of those trying to increase the bill in line with Mr. Truman's wishes, charged the Senate leadership is trying ram the bill down our throats." For seven hours Thursday 1 he made a sharply critical analysis of the finance committee bill and urged that the revenue yield be increased at least to 000,000.

Mr. Truman's letter renewing his demand for a $10,000,000,000 tax boost as necessary to balance the budget was read to the Senate when the first full day of debate on the big bill opened Thursday. No one commented on it directly during debate. Mr. Truman said the bill under debate isn't stiff enough on individual and corporation income taxpayers.

The Senate committee trimmed it sharply from the $7,200,000,000 version passed by the House. But George told a reporter: "I'm not going to propose any amendments to take any additional amounts from the taxpayer. If the Senate wants to take more money out of the pockets of the American taxpayer, why it can do it." Senator Millikin (R-Col), senior Republican on the committee, asked whether he Senate would vote the additional $4,500,000,000 Mr. Truman asked, said: "I don't think he's going to get it. I think he could get the equivalent of $4,500,000,000 if he would buckle down to it and reduce unnecessary expenditures." Democratic Leader McFarland of Arizona originally had hoped for final action Saturday, but that appeared extremely unlikely.

Louis Lauderdale, president of the St. printing firm, said his information came from Cecil Green, Washington representative. Blauner told Senate investigators Green named Turney Gratz, one-time assistant Boyle, and Frank Prince, recently ousted RFC loan officials, among others who received gift cameras. The testimony came at an inquiry by the Senate investigations sub-committee into charges that Boyle, now Democratic national chairman, used political influence American Lithofold get $565,000 in RFC loans. Blauner testified earlier that he hired Boyle as his company's Washington counsel at $500 a month in 1949 because he expected "some things might develop." He didn't give details, but told the senators that, as it turned out.

"nothing of any great moment" developed that required Boyle's services. Blauner did not say when the cameras were given out but said it must have been before October or November of last year. An American Lithofold official, Homer W. Stanhope, testified Thursday that his firm bought 37 cameras to be handed out as gifts. "You might say it was to influence people, but the company paid for a lot of personal and Christmas gifts, too," Stanhope said under questioning.

Subcommittee members told Blauner today he had testified in a closed session that he didn't remember the firm's having made gifts to anybody. Blauner said he has refreshed his memory since then. The senators have received previous testimony that Boyle received a total of $1,250 from February April, 1949. Boyle himself has said this was for legal work. He has denied having anything to do with the RFC loans.
