Then comes the twenty-three-foot restricted area pictured between the signs here and containing the traction company’s choice parking spot. Extending from the standard at the left in the photo is another noparking area of twenty-two feet, until a standard is encountered ten feet from a fire plug. Meurer contends the traffic code did not give the safety board or police authority to restrict the forty-five-

’BLACKLIST' ON RADICALS PUTS FIRE ON WHALEN Sending List of ’Reds’ to Employers Illegal, Say His Critics. Bu United Proa NEW YORK. March 12.—While Grover A. Whalen, police commissioner, defended his drive against Communist "mass action.” so-called liberals and others not associated with communism protested today against his “blacklist” of 300 Communists employed in large business organizations and in the public service. Whalen said he sent his list to employers so that any movements “to organize against law and order” may be watched. J. McKeen Cattell, former professor of psychology at Columbia university and editor of the Scientific Monthly and other publications, has written to Whalen, pointing out that his "blacklist” violated a section of the federal penal code. Norman Thomas. Socialist candidate for mayor in the last election, said he was organizing a move to remove the police commissioner from office. Whalen said that while he did not deny the right of any individual to become a Communist, he was ready to block any “mass action, that is to say organized group ac-
