Street Cars Are Sold
To Become Homes

PORTLAND, Ore. G.N.S)

benefits to be had from street
cars-as homes and offices.
The great discovery" started
when the Portland Traction Com.
pany moved to modernize its
transportation system by substi-
tuting tracklesS-trolley buses for
streetcars on most city lines.
The old streetcars, many of
which were on the verge of an
tiquity, were sold for little or
nothing and are now in use as
homes, offices and restaurants.
The cars are diSmantled in
their barns when sold and
stripped of carriage, wheels and
motor. They are then loaded
onto large vans and trucks and
moved to any point the new
owner selects. The average cost
of transporting the aged street
cars is between $3.50 am 5000.
Many buyers have wanted the
cars only for their novelty-value,

BORROWING
PROGRAM

The Treasury next week tenn,
porarily will discontinue its extra
$50 0OO. 900 short-term borrowing
operation, Secretary Morgenthau
announced today.
For the past seven weeks the
Government has been issuing
500 100000 in short-term bills,
hal fof which weer used to raise
new money and the other half to
retire maturing issues.
Although the Treasurys cash re-
serve has slumped to an au-tlme
low for the Roosevelt Administra-
ton, Morgenthau has decided to
suspend the weekly borrowing in
view of next months financing
operation, when it is expected the
Government will raise between
$500 100000 and 100000, 900
through a new securities flota-
ton. In addition. Second-quarter
income tax payments, due June IS,
are expected to yield the Treasury
in excess Of $500,000.000.
On May Is. the working balance
amounted to approximately $483,-
900, 900, of which $195, 100000 was
in gold. Under the gold steriliza-
ton program, the latter amount
cannot be used, which brings the
cash on hand considerably below
the $500, 900 900 mark.

THERE were many unusual incidents
contributed by johnson. In 1924
he pitched one-hit shut-out against
Chicago, striking out IA batsmen, six
in succession. Back in 1910 he famed
three pinch-hitters in succession
against the AS. He once shut out the
Yankees in three straight games and
his no-hit, no-run game over nine
innings was scored against the Red
Sox in 1920, Washington winning by
10. He was voted the most valuable
player in the American League in
1924 and, after pitching for II years,
he was the pitching hero of the World
Series that year when the Nationals
whipped the Giants.
johnson established many more
records. but they weren't what people
at the Mayflower were thinking about
last night. They came to honor
Walter johnson, the man, as we'll as
Walter johnson, the pitcher. And
before the night ended and dawn
came in the morning they were putting
it this way:
For when the one Great Scorer comes
To mark against your name,
1t is not if you won or lost,
But how you played the game"
And everybody knows how Walter
played it.

Il was guaranteed round-trip
ticket, still was here last night to be
honored as no other sports figure in
the history of the Nations Capital.
More than 400 selected guests and
well wishers broke bread with and
drank toasts to Walter Perry johnson
until the wee hours of the morning at
the Mayf1ower Hotel. Over a coast-to-
coast radio network, over a speakers
table studded with celebrities and over
scattered tables where the oratory was
less gifted. but no less sincere, base

sung as the big Train" became SO
years old.
1t was more than 80 years ago when
the callow johnson reported from q
Weiser, Idaho, semi-pro team and
joined the Nationals. 1t was more
than 10 years ago that he severed con-
nections with his beloved Washington
club as a pitcher and hung up his
glove. 1t was five years ago that john
son probably stepped out of the Capt.

was relieved Of the managerial reins.
But the still-gangling Kansan dis
covered last night that w. P. johnson,
rookie, star pitcher and manager, was
not forgotten by Washington fans, for
whom he pitched for 81 years and
before whom he carved records which
are likely to remain indelible in dia-
mond archives.
