Extension 10 Speed
Pupils Is Asked

Seeks l5-Minute

Extension of the Hillcrest bus line
to provide school children with di-
rect service to the Anacostia High
School was asked by the Hillcrest
Citizens Association at meeting
held last night in the East Wash
ington Heights Baptist Church.
According to j. j. MacGregor,
who introduced the resolution, stu
dents who reside in the Hillcrest
area require almost an hour to
reach the high school using existing

development and the prospect of
increased building in that area
necessitated daily l5-mlnute
schedule instead of every half hour.

He detailed two attacks on Italian
fortified positions by forces of Brit
ish, African and free French"
troops under Sir Maitland Wilson.
In the first of these. he said, an Ital-
ian general was killed and his sec
ond in command captured.
He declined to say, however,
whether the Italian base at Sidi Bar
rani had been cut off.
The Prime Minister'S ruddy face
was beaming as he announced the
successful opening of the campaign
against Marshal Rodolfo Graziani's

The House cheered wildly as he
concluded his report.
Mr.. Churchill said British warships
have bombarded the various coastal
positions Of the Italian forces, par
ticularly Maktila and Sidi Barrani.
He also announced substantial
increases in the coastal command
aircraft for the protection of con-
voys in waters around Britain and
said the House would debate ship

II have come to the conclusion, -
he told the House. that while there
is no need at present to change the
position of the coastal command as
a part of the r. A. F., it is necessary
that the coastal command should
play a more important part than it

Distressed Over Situation.
Mrs. Roosevelt said she had been
quite distressed over some Of the
conditions she had observed in the
camps and in rejecting what such a
situation might mean.
Asked what agency of the Gov
ernment is best fitted TO deal with
the problems of migratory workers.
Mrs. Roosevelt replied she thought
it might take combination of agen-
cies.

clared depends so much on per-

Mrs. Roosevelt pointed out that
in working out solution of the
migratory workers problem medical
care and child labor should be
among the factors considered

Jones Says Industry
Will Reach Years
Peak This Month
Stimulus Of Defense
Keeps Production Rising
Against Seasonal Trend

Industrial production will reach
the hight point of the year this
month. Secretary of Commerce
Jones predicted today. If the war
in Europe continues, the defense
program, export orders from Britain
and purchasing power caused by
expanded national income, he said,
will increase the demands on Amer
lean industry.
Because many important durable
goods industries are approaching
their capacity limits, the increase
in the actual volume of industrial
production was comparatively small
in November, Secretary Jones said
in reviewing business developments
during the month. Though indus
trial output usually declines at this
season of the year. the stimulus of
defense spending pushed output
above the October level
Other Fields Advance.
In addition to industrial produc-
ton, other fields showing November
advances included electric power
output. freight car loadihgs, and de-
partment store sales.
Further expansion of industrial
production will necessarily proceed
at slower pace in the near future
because many companies producing
goods that are in especially heavy
demand have either reached or are
approaching capacity Secretary
Jones said.
Domestic consumption OF steel Is
higher, as evidenced by recent gains
IN shipbuilding, production of ma
chlnery, automobiles and railway
equipment. More striking has been
the rise in exports of steel. now rum
ming at almost 20 per cent of the
national production. The defense
program is increasingly making new
demands on the steel industry. This
also is true Of the machine tool and
certain other machinery industries
Inventories Increased.
I'm one important respect, how
ever, the business situation was al
tered from that of recent months
Reports showed the largest increase
in manufacturers inventories since
the current industrial expansion be-
gan in May. This rise was due to
two factors; % efforts to increase
stocks to insure against delivery
delays, and % purchase of larger
stocks of raw materials and an ex-
pansion of goods in process required
for rising level of production"
Secretary Jones reported that the
automobile industry had the largest
November output in its history
approximately 100000 cars. Novem-
ber consumption of electric power
reached an all-time high.
A few industries have already
moved through plant expansion to
meet the expected 1941 increase in
demand.
What has been done, to date,
however, is not enough" Mr.. Jones
said.
