bUSR0UTECHANCE
!. AR0USES CITIZENS
Disadvantage to Northeast
Pupils and Shoppers Is
Cited in Protests.

Scores Of complaints arising from
. change in bus routes effected by
the Public Utilities Commission are
flooding the Executive Committee of
the Michigan Park Citizens Asso-
citation, according to John ]. Hur-
ley, president Of the group.
Mr.. Hurley reports that the body
has received letters, telephone calls
and personal conversations condemn
ing the Capital Transit Co.'S route
change at the new viaduct on Mich
igan avenue just north Of Seventh
street NE. Not alone does the change
itself arouse the citizens, but increas-
ing the feeling is the fact that on pub
lie hearing was granted by the Public
Utilities Commission in which an op-
portunity to voice objections could be
afforded.
Opposed During Summer.
When the proposed change first
came up early last summer, op-
position was formally expressed by
the Michigan Park group and a pc
tition forthwith drawn up contain
ing 200 signatures of residents who
actually used the Hyattsville-Laurel
bus line. Mr.. Hurley says that this
draft was filed with the P. U. c.,
but since no further notice was given
by that body it was believed that the
proposed change had been discarded.
Instead Of this, however, the COM
mission went ahead with its original
plan, according to Mr.. Hurley, and
did not notify the association until
November 81. week before the
regulation went into effect.
The universal disapproval Of the
rerouting concerns q threat to the
safety of small school children who
use the buses to arrive at either
Brookland or st. Anthony's Schools
located in the 1000 block of Monroe
street NE. The former route was
from Michigan avenue over Tenth
street to Monroe. over Monroe street
to Seventh and down Seventh street,
and the citizens point out that only
two streets had to be crossed by the
children. Under present conditions
they must traverse at least five streets
to reach the same destination. Mr..
Hurley reports that scores Of children
are affected by this change.
Shopping Troublese Cited.
In addition the citizens decry the
increase in distance separating the
present route from the central shop
ping district of the area which Is
centered around Twelfth and Monroe
streets NE. as well as q church dis
trict near the same point which
draws hundreds of people every Sum-
day.
Mr.. Hurley declares that the Mich
igan Park group intends to use its
only weapon to obtain Public Utilities
hearing-that of allying nearby civic
groups, with the aim Of attaining a
huge petition of over q thousand
names of bus users.

SMALL AMMUNITION
PRACTICE IS HIT
Guard Officials Say Men Should Be
Trained With Weapons
They Fire.

Opposition has developed in the Ma
tional Guard to the regulations pro-
viding for qualification Of men in
shooting with small caliber guns and
ammunition, such as the ~ caliber.
Under the system now approved by
the National Guard Bureau, it was
pointed out q Guardsman may qualify
as an expert machine gunner without
ever having fired a single round of
service ammunition. This, Guard ofd-
GERS say, is ridiculous.
The whole situation, it was added,
was brought about owing to the
cost Of this high-powered service am
munition. While the Guard ofncers,
familiar with target practice details,
urge that training with the small cal
iber rifle and machine gun be carried
ON to the fullest extent, that it be
confined to instruction only, and that
1t not, In any case. supplant the neces-
sity Of firing with service equipment
with service ammunition. II the men
are to be properly trained for field
service. they should be adequately
trained with the implement they are
supposed to use while in the field, ON
Gals said.
Guard officers have recommended to
the War Department that the 80 cali
Der qualification he restored, even
though at this time, 80 caliber ammu-
milton is not available for issue to the
Guard. They pointed out the impor-
tance Of the 80 caliber practice is fully
recognized and should be adequately
provided for. But, it was added that
q large number of qualified men is
more important than q few expert
shots. The opinion Is . higher per-
centage Of qualifications will result due
to better control and supervision Of mr.
ing and the availability Of men for
practice.
It was argued that if unit has had
thorough instruction on the small bore
range before going to camp the prac-
tice at camp should require only
very limited amount of preliminary
practice, record practice, and such COL
lective fire as may be practicable.
A further saving of time without loss
of efficiency can be made by excusine
from record firing those individuals
who have qualified in one Of the two
preceding years.
