Commission Thinks Traffic Unduly Slowed Up; Slow Markers Better Market Street Driving is Too Fast, View; "Slow" Signs Wanted ' Elimination of tbe "stop" signs on Center- street west of Capitol and substituting "alow" markers, was recommended by tbe city planning and zoning commission Monday night. Tbe recommenda tion will be brought before tbe city council at its next meeting. This proposal was brought up with a Tiew to reducing the num ber of stops enforced upon north and south traffic. Vehicles going in those directions on Church, Cot-, tags. Winter and Summer streets must now make stops before en tering or crossing Center, Court and State streets. Center Street Held To Be Often Avoided The result has been that many drivers hate avoided those streets, even driving several additional blocks to do so, and traffic on High street has become congested as a result. At the same time, the commis sion recommended "slow" mark ers on Market street at several "stub" streets east of Capitol. It was explained that traffic on Mar ket is often dangerously fast. The commission has been re vamping the ordinance providing tor formation of lighting districts and installation of ornamental street lights, and will probably have a new ordinance ready for Introduction at the next council meeting. Original 6rdinance Vetoed By Livesley The original ordinance was amended by the council and then at the commission's request vetoed by Mayor Livesley, who asked that a new bill be brought in pro viding for a uniform lighting sys tem. The commission's principal objection was to the requirement added by the council that plans be submitted to the Portland Electric Power company for its approval. They held that a private corpora tion should not be recognized as a factor, in city government.

That is the conclusion voiced by Roy D'Autremont, Monday upon rounding out two years of the life sentence which was the penalty imposed on him as well as on his two brothers, Ray and Hugh, for the slaying of three trainmen at the Siskiyou tunnel holdup October 11. 1923. The three were "dressed in" at the Oregon penitentiary June 24, 1927. I am almost overcome with pity at times for the poor boys who come in here with six months sentences and the prospect of a parole in five months, and live through a nightmare of remorse and regret," said Roy. "From observation I am con vinced thatSB6ft sentences result in the greater percentage of refor mations. After a certain length of time the convict becomes recon ciled to prison conditions and the effect of incarceration Is lost." Judging from his bearing as he sat in the office of Superintendent Harry Meyers and told of his im pressions of prison life, and the cheerful smile which readily lighted his countenance on occa sion, Roy D'Autremont has made the "psychological adjustment" of which he talked, and is inflicting upon himself little of the punish- (Turn to Page I, Column S.)

An unconfirmed report that wreckage with no trace of life about it, had been sighted in tbos waters by a British freighter gave the only ray of hope in the gloomy situation. Four Spanish destroy ers sped for Ferrol in an attempt to verify this report while the Portugese gunboat Zaire was re fueling at Horta to continue the search it had begun on Saturday.
