Most of the Government en-
ployes are taking their 80 days

clerk of the State Department, said
today.
Furthermore. the bulk Of the
State Department employees, taking
their vacations In this fractional
way. do not use up allsthe time that
the law allows them. An evidence
Of this is contained in the fact
that the average vacation leave
of the State Department workers
in 1925 was only 26 Ito days, or
four less than what they were
entitled to.
Similar conditions prevail in
other departments since the ''month

ONE Man GAR.
PLAN LANED

William Mex. Clayton's eloquent
argument before the Public Utilities
Commission last week against the
use of one-man cars here has 'stem.
med the tide" which threatened to
bring in an extensive use of those
vehicles on the street car lines of
the District. close observers of the
situation believed today.
Although the commission was
ready to approve the purchase Of 80
of these cars less than three weeks
ago, there is now a strong feeling
against them among the members of
that body, 1t was learned today.
At least one of the three commits
sioners has definitely made up his
mind that the people of Washington
do not want one-man cars and the
other two obviously are wavering in
their support of the cheaper vehicles.
1t is quite possible now that. there
will not be another public hearing on
the one-man car question. The mat
ter was discussed from every angle
at the meeting of the commission
yesterday and no action was taken
toward calling public hearing. The
one-man car proposal may be killed
definitely before it ever reaches the
public again.
