Transportation Hearing SET

The Public Utilities Commission
will consider all phases of the trans
portation service of the Capital
Transit Co. to the Takoma, Petworth
and Chillum areas, including rates
and routing, at a formal public hear
ing to be held at the District Build

The commission announced it
would not render a decision on the
petition of the Sixteenth Street
Heights Citizens Association for eX-
press bus service to the far north
Sixteenth street area until it had
concluded hearings on the Takoma
situation, since it felt the two were
interrelated. The adjourned hear
ing on the Sixteenth Street Heights
case probably will be reconvened at
the conclusion of the Takoma case
Involved in the Takoma case is a
petition by the transit company for
a straight 10-cent charge for the

routing to the other affected areas
which were made contingent upon a

Express Bus Service
Impractical, Takoma Told

The Capital Transit Co. has adj
vised town officials of Takoma Park,
Nd. that it is not practicable to
provide direct bus service between
any given point in the Washington
Metropolitan area or to provide ex-
press bus service in each COM
munity within that area.
The company told the officials
that at present the company pro-
vides five direct trips between Ia.
koma Park and the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing via the Geor.
gia avenue-Seventh street carlins
during the morning hour rush pe-
riod. This service was established
some time ago and at the request
of patrons on the theory that ID
would eliminate a transfer by q
considerable number of patrons. A
recent survey showed that not a
single person actually made
through trip, according to the COM
pany, which believes that a similar
condition would prevail vere
through service established between
Takoma Park and Potomac PARK
A short time ago an effort wa.
made by the Citizens Association
of Takoma, D. c., to secure through
buses to Potomac Park and the Can
ital Transit Co. declined the re-
quest due to the lack of patronage.
The Public Utilities Committee was
directed. however. to renew its re-
quest for this through service.

The new Navy Building annex, to
provide Offices for new employees
coming here, will cost more than
$3.50 900, it was learned today.
To be located behind the old
World War temporary building on
Constitution avenue, the structure
will be 80 feet wide and more than
700 feet long. 1t will parallel the
Lincoln Memorial Rejecting Pool
and provide at least 300 more rooms,
according to preliminary plans sub
mitted to the President.
The building will force more than
$50 automobiles from their parking
spaces on to Washington streets.
1t will extend from Seventeenth
street westward to the boundary
line of the Munitions Building.

contract was expected to be let on
O cost-pluS- -fiXed-fee basis.
At present more than 1900 work
erS are in the Navy Building. Un-

Cut Of 1000 Ordered
In W.P. A. Rolls Here;
500 Actually Affected
About $50 Leaving
A Week to Take
Private Employment

Orders for the reduction of the
District w. P. A. quota to 9,700 work.
ers by March Ii 900 lower than the
quota at the beginning of this month
were received today by Paul Ed
wards, District w. P. A. director,
from Acting Commissioner Howard
o. Hunter of the Federal Work Prof.
ectS Administration.
This is the largest cut in the per-
mitted number 0f w. P. A. workers
here in several months, although
the total has been going down
gradually for a year. Mr.. Edwards
said he had been anticipating the
cut and had not filled 400 places
on the work assignment lists so that
no more than 600 persons on the
rolls will have to be dropped.
Mr. Edwards also revealed that
about $50 persons a week are leav-
ing the District w. P. A. rolls to take
private employment. This was at
tributed to direct and indirect en-
ployment opportunities which have
been opening up as result of ma
tional defense work.
About a year ago the Washington
w. P. A. quota was 10000. At the
beginning of this month the number
actually on work assignments was
10000, or about 400 less than the
quota.
Mr. Edwards said the number of
applicants for work relief who were
awaiting assignment also has been
dropping sharply from the $500 on
the waiting list year ago.
Highway w. P. A. projects are
among those expected to suffer cuts
resulting from the reduced quota
There are now $50 on such projects
and Mr. Edwards said perhaps at
least 100 of these would be dropped
Some white-collar workers also
would have to be dismissed, he said
Paul Rogers today took Office as
director of operations for the Dis
trict w. P. A, succeeding Samuel
Nugent, who has taken private en-
ployment. Mr.. Rogers, a civil en-
gineer has been director of opera
tions for the Norfolk area and has
been with the w. P. A. since 1885.
Mr.. Edwards said he had found
some persons on w. P. A. rolls have
difficulty getting private jobs. He
plans to call in vocational advisor
to help them.

Success or Death
Drive for Symphony
Fund dIsExtended
Workers Must Raise Abou,
Half of S107 500 in Week
To Assure Season

Volunteer workers in the National
Symphony Orchestra's campaign to
raise a sustaining fund of SLOT 600
again we're canvassing the city today
in a determined effort to raise the
as yet unpledged 1854 per cent of
the goal, inspired by yesterdays de-
cision to extend the drive through
Thursday.
The decision to carry on the drive
another week was reached at yes
terday's report luncheon at which it
was revealed that only s54 ,590,13 had
been obtained, representing scarcely
more than half the money neces-
Sary TO finance the orchestra's S
1912 season.
In announcing the extension,
Walter Bruce Howe, campaign chair
man, declared that no compromise
concerning the established quota
would be accepted. He said it was
foolish to presume that the Ma
tional Symphony could continue to
operate on less than s1O7600 with
OuG SOAlls 444lO OCOIs
Declines to Lower Standard.
This orchestra is about to COM
plete 10 consecutive years with never
an unpaid debt Mr.. Howe asserted,
and during that time it has grown
in numbers and in excellence. We
are never going to lower our stand
ards"
He said that experience had
taught those responsible for the
symphony that it was impossible to
run a first class orchestra on a
penny less than was asked of the
| public.
Rather than lower its standards
/ or go into debt. those responsible
for the National Symphony Orches-
ira would allow it to disband, Mr.
Howe declared. adding: This may
seem Spartan conclusion, but we
mean it."
Conductor Hans Kinder made an
impaSsioned plea to the volunteer
! workers not to let the symphony
."go under" He declared that "the
world in its agony today is looking
to America to keep the faith not
only with liberty and the democratic
way of living, but also in the highest
! spiritual sense-the faith in music
and other things of the soul that
should be common to all peoples and
creeds"
Nearly alone among the powerful
nations of the world this country
he said. still is able to sing without
wondering if that song will be the
last"
DR.. Kinder declared that now is
the time to realize why We are giving
money for defense and what we ulti-
mately are determined to defend
"If we don't" he continued, mo
amount of defense measures will
help us in the end
Charles O'Connell, director of
artists and classical recordings for
R. c. A.-Victor. who is to be guest
conductor at the National SYM
phonys concert Sunday in Constitu-
ton Hall, expressed amazement at
the turn of events which made it
necessary for the sustaining fund
drive to be continued.
You have truly great American
orchestra here" he declared, land
/ that is as it should be in Washing
ton. You have wonderful material,
a magnificent conductor, your period
of musical adolescence is over, and
vet at this moment it would appear
that you are willing to let all that
you have accomplished disappear" 3"
