MORE 'SK|P-STOPS'
MAY. Be ORDERED
Utilities Board to Consider
Plan to Expedite Mass
Transportation.

Continuing its drive to speed up
street car and bus service in the Dis
trict, the Public Utilities Commission
may order extension Of the skip-stop
and other plans to expedite mass
transportion in the near future, it was
indicated yesterday.
Richmond B. Keech, commission
vice chairman, announced yesterday
public hearings are to be called, prob
ably within q month, on the skip-stop
and other proposals which have been
made to the commission.
Shp-stops were invoked in extern
sive measure in the wartime period
and are still maintained in reduced
measure. Keech has indicated in the
past he believes the extension of the
skip-stop plan would improve trans
portation speed to an extent warrant
ing what inconvenience would be
caused some passengers who would
have to walk block to or from a stop.
The commission also is expected to
consider at the hearings questions
concerning transfers involving lines
having both long and short haul pa
tronage. There have been complaints
that on some lines short-haul passen-
gers are overcrowding equipment pri-
marily serving passengers making long
trips.
Abandonment Of the Chevy Chase
de luxe coach line, suggested at the
recent hearings on the Capital Tran
sit Co.'S service, is to be considered
by the commission at a conference
tomorrow. Reports are only 600 pas
sengers a day are using the coach line,
on which the fare is 20 cents cash.
There also have been suggestions
from some passengers that the Con-
necticut avenue express busses be
abandoned on the ground they are not
in fact express" The commission
has indicated that question would de-
pend on the effect Of the proposed
abolition Of the de luxe coach line.

Secretary of the Interior Ickes
yesterday pledged his support to the
National Symphony Orchestra's drive

Charlie had a psychoses on women.
Charlie said that he didn't have a
psychoses on wimmen at all, but
had one on the race question. II
tried to make Charlie feel better
by admitting I had psychoses on
the subject of football players.
Everybody knows about Auntie's
weakness for football men, Ell? It
all started quite a while back
when Auntie was throwing one of
her temper tantrums and stamp
ing and threatening to throw
things. A football lad happened
to be present, and he told Auntie
that if she didn't stop all of the
gosh-danged foolishness he would
get violent. Whereupon Auntie
only yelled all the louder and
stamped both feet all the harder.
Whereupon this football lad picked
Auntie up, slammed her into a
chair and said: "Now, if you let
out just ONE more squeal, I'll
smack you right in the teeth"
And Auntie shut up, by gosh. Ever
since that day she has had a strong
admiration for all football lads.
On accounta' nobody else has ever
threatened to smack Auntie in the
teeth-and got away with it! Any
candidates? -''. .'-' -' .-.'.s
Out at school among the boys
on the team, Dwight ("Kid") Reed
has been tagged with the nickname
"Coach." Dwight SEE its all on

thinking Of screwy plays that he
thought could be used as a sure
cinch to score. "But they never
used 'em," is the Kids mournful
explanation.

Friday and Saturday will see the
party-goers to Iowa City on their
way to the state where the tall
corn grows. And all the roads
have curves on 'em, and all the
DANES have long term options on
the men. If some of the Twin
City lads get chased back from
Iowa City, it won't be because I
didn't warn 'em. Those men down
there don't like out-of-town males
who chisel. Witness the incident
of the Iowa City collegian who
was packing a gun to blast the
daylights out of q chiseler who
was mooching in on his gal. The
idea is, you can look at the gals
down there, but don't do any more
than look at 'em unless you are
a Jesse Owens sprint king. Or if
you do look at 'em, be sure their
boy friends aren't looking at YOU.

REPORT HITS UNIT
OF AIR COMM ERCE
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate Air Safety Committee
has recommended that Secretary
Roper thoroughly overhaul the Blu
reau of Air Commerce with q view to
improving its administrative officials"
The report, submitted to the Sem
ate by Chairman Copeland. said:
I'VE fear that the Secretary OF
Commerce undertook the impossible
when he sought the successful opera
ton of the bureau by placing three
men with coordinate powers in charge
sof the bureau.
Certainly, there has been a grievous
lack of cooperation and in our opinion
there are defects so fundamental that
they must be remedied before there
can be proper administration of this
important bureau
The committee was created to study
air conditions after Senator Cutting
of New Mexico was killed in a plane
crash in Missouri May 6, 1885. The
report did not discuss that accident.
Concerning Eugene Vidal. the bu-
reau director, the report said
He is an smiable gentleman. He
has good background. Our fear is
that he is lacking in iron. positiveness
and the determination to keep the en-
ployes under his direction functioning
according to schedule"
OF Rex Martin, assistant director,
the committee said:
I'VE question the professional equip
ment and preparation Of Mr.. Rex
Martin. A man of larger experience is
needed for this position. He must be
chosen not with reference to his po-
itical Affiliations, but strictly because
of his professional ability. his known
success as an administrator, his pos.
session of tact and qualities of leader
ship.
THE qualities are not combined in
Mr.. Martin"
Concerning ]. Carroll Cone, another
assistant director, the rcpc.t aid:
He came through the ordeal without
esstscism."
