BY FREDERICK A. STORM United Press Staff Correspondent . NEW YORK, July 11.—President Roosevelt, participating in the dedi-

cation today of New York's new ,000 Triborough Bridge de- |.

$60,300 clared that Federal and local governments, to survive, must. provide . “reasonable and constant help” to meet the. problems arising from the increasing complexity of life. Immediately after the exercises, . at which a dozen Federal, state and . city officials spoke to thousands gathered under a blistering sun, the huge bridge was .thrown open to traffic. One of the first projects aidéd by the Public: Works Administration set up by the Rogsevelt Administration, which advanced $44,200,000 in loans and grants, the bridge links the boroughs of Manhattan, Queens and the Bronx. Its spans across the East and Harlem ~ Rivers, with viaducts and approaches and feeder highways total 17%; miles in length. ° Mr. Roosevelt's pause here to participate in the dedication was the first stop on a month’s trip which will fake him on a cruise along the Maine coast with his sons and later ® Quebec by train to visit the Gov-ernor-General of Canada. Address Is Brief

Noting the great increase in the past generation of government activities, especially for civic ' improvements and human welfare, Mr. Roosevelt in his brief address said this was due not only to needs created by new conditions, but “also because growth in human .knowledge labels now ' as needs many things which ig olden days we did not think of as needs.” “There are a few among us who still, consclously :or unconsciously, + live ins. state: of constant. protest .against the dailp.processes of ing. modern needs,” the ato sald. “Most of us are willing to res ognize change and to give it reasonable and constant help. _ “Government itself, whether it be that of a city or that of a sover~ eign state or that of the union of states, must, if it is to survive, recognize change and give to new needs reasonable and constant help. Government itself can not close its eyes to the pollution of waters, to the erosion of soil, to the losing of forests, any more than it can close its eyes to the need for slum-clear-‘ance and schools and bridges.

“Government More Complex”

“Government itself is, of necessity, more complex because all life is more complex. The machinery of government and the cost of government under Mayor Seth Low in 1901 would not serve the essential needs of the people of the city in the days of Mayor La Guardia in 1936. People require and people are demanding up-to-date government in place of antiquated government, just as they are requiring and demanding triborough bridges in the place of ancient ferries.” - The other speakers were Roderjck Stephens, chairman. of the Bronx joint committee on -the triborough bridge; Robert Moses. secretary and chiaf executive officer - of the bridge authority; George V. Mclaugnin, bridge commissioner;

PARKING RULES STILL IGNORED

18 Per Cent of Motdrists Violate City Law, Survey Shows.

Despite the city’s drive against traffic ordinance violators, 18 per cent of the cars parked in the mile square area during June were 1 rked illegally exclusive "of overtime regulations, a survey showed today. The study was made by the National Youth administration. similamesproject in March - disclosed 17 per cent of the cars parked illegally. The slight. increase in’ June was due to Jnecreased use of the available parking space in the area, ac= cording to Stephen D. Crain, NYA traffic survey supervisor. In March, less than 13,000 cars a day used the streets for parking. In June, 1350 additional cars each day tried to crowd into the same area. The -average number of cars parked legally jumped from 10,700 & day in March to 11,700 a day in June. Double parking, most prevailent violation with the exception of overtime, increased 21 per cent over March. One -third of the Jiiations in June were double parkng. The frequency of various traffic ordinance violations is shown by the S Mowing ratio of individual types of violations to total violations: Double parked, 32 per cent: too far from curb, 18: angle to curb, 17; no-parking- signs, 16; too near corner, 4: entrance of driveway, bod and safety zone 15, and

-- Approved Three-Fold Agreement.

BY RICHARD D. MEMILLAN - (Copyright, .1036. by United Press) |

VIENNA; July: 11—Austria ‘and|

Germany buried thé hatchet today |.

after 10 years of bloodshed and ‘war-|

fare over Nazi attempts to domi. po

nate the country.

“Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg and 1 Minister Franz. Von Papen}:

formally drafted a peace trea which ultimately may remodel’ th European political map.

The treaty has not yet’ been 3a

signed, but that was regarded as a|

mere formality as German Chancellor: Adolf Hitler already has approved the terms of the pact. It was understood that the treaty provides for: 1. German recognition of Austria’s complete independence. ‘2. Noninterference by the Nazi govérnment in -Austria’s: internal affairs; including the possible restoration of the Hapsburg dynasy. 3. Hitler's disavowal of the National Socialist movement in Austria. Der. Fuehrer approved the pact late last night in an extraordinary conference with Ven Papen at his. favorite villa at Berchtesgaden, Germany. Von Papen returned to Vienna early today and immediately entered consyltation with Schuschnigg. The meeting between Hitler and Von Papen was called at a moment when Schuschnigg had given up practically all hope of ever reaching an agreement with the reich. Schuschnigg will announce the details of the pact in a nation-wide broadcast, as will ‘German : Propaganda’ Minister Josef Goebbels in Berlin at the same time. .- Austrian Nazi political . prisoners will be released TY y after
