Places Order
For 100 Buses
Company Acts to
Meet Expanding
Defense Traffic

The Capital Transit Co. today OBJ
tanned permission to order 100 ad-
ditional 40-passenger buses costing
more than $1,000,000 in anticipation
of increasing traffic here as the ma
tional defense program expands.
The order was placed as transit
and District officials expressed sat-
isfaction with the staggered hours
system as means of helping solve
Washingtons transportation prob
lem.
Traffic Director william A. Van
Duzer said he was satisfied with the
new system after watching it in
operation for the third morning.
The new system started Monday.
Street Cars on Schedule.
Transit company officials likewise
said their equipment handled traf-
fic this morning better than ever be-
fore, with street cars running almost
exactly on schedule. Buses on Six
teenth street and Connecticut ave-
nue. were less crowded than on Mon
day and Tuesday mornings, when
thousands of Government officials
went to work on new schedules
Further arrangement of schedules
of buses and street cars is in pros
pect during the coming weeks.
In asking the Public Utilities
Commission for authority to acquire
new buses, the company said ii
wanted to place its order before de-
fense demands on industry delay
delivery of the vehicles.
The company asked an option tt
cancel half of the order of 100 up tt
June 80 should it be found tina
Washington's growth due to the de.
fense program did not go as high
as the peak the company now antici
pates.
50 Ordered in December.
Last December % the company
placed orders for so new buses, cost
ing more than s500,0 900.
Meanwhile, officials said no i'm.
mediate change in the system o.
staggered hours is in prospect.
Automatic clocking of traffic will
begin this week and on the basis OF
data obtained. detailed studies will
be made. This will take about two
weeks, he said.
If the studies show the need fol
further traffic arrangement
changes will be made, Mr.. Var
Duzer stated.

Reopening Of District
Testing Laboratory
Faces Opposition
Rubout Indicates
Belief Thot No Money
Could Be Soved by Step

Advisability of reopening the Dis
trict's testing laboratory at 203 Bry-
ant street NV, which has been
kept closed by Congress for several
years, was questioned during recent
hearings on budget estimates of the
Bureau of Standards section of the
Commerce Department.
Representative Rabaut. chairman
Of the subcommittee conducting the
hearings and member of the District
Appropriations Subcommittee, in
dicated he did not believe the Dis
trict could save money by reopening
the laboratory.
District Pays Out s164.s00.
The subject came up when Rep
resentative Stefan, Republican, of
Michigan asked DR.. Lyman j
Briggs, director of the Bureau of
Standards, how much the District
paid for testing work done by the
bureau.
DR.. Briggs said the Districts total
expense for this work amounted tc
s164 500 from 1885 through 1910. He
emphasized, however, that a large
percentage Of this cost was for
cement tests. He pointed out that
the bureau has expert testers al
the manufacturing plants and that
the District, to be properly safe.
guarded, would have to have its own
testers at the plants. In addition
he said, the bureau saves time by
having shipments made from the
Federal Governments approved bins
Laboratory Well Equipped.
DR.. Briggs said the bureau die
not ask for the Districts testing
work, but that the municipal labor.
atory was closed at the suggestion
of the House District Appropriation
Subcommittee because the commit
tee felt it was not necessary tc
operate two laboratories to carry or
the same kind of work"
He said the laboratory was con-
structed as part of the District Ga
rage Building and that it is vel
equipped. He added that he ha.
been advised the total cost of thu
equipment was between $55 900 anc
$4,000. Representative Stefan sale
he had been told the laboratory rep.
resents an investment of 100000.

doctors or against the medical pro-
fession as a whole. These defendants
are not on trial because they are
doctors, but because as individuals
they engaged in an unlawful boycott.
This is not suit to vindicate or
sponsor any method of distributing
medical services, but to vindicate
the right of every American citizen
to be free and unhampered in seek
ing to have that form of medical
care he wants unhampered by
others
This is not q case to force any
one of the defendants to like or to
dislike G. H. A. People are free to
like or dislike whomever they want
so long as they do not implement
their animosity and enforce their
rules and regulations in violation of
law"
"Altruistic Sponsors"
did these defendants do more
than disapprove of G. H. A.?" asked
Mr.. Levin. Did they attempt to
obstruct G. H. A.? Did they attempt
to prevent doctors, including their
own members, from consulting with
Group Health doctors? Did they
try to induce private hospitals not
to follow their own independent die
tates but to obey the dictates at
the behest of ideas imposed upon
them?"
Returning to G. H. A., the prose-
cutor characterized it as a mon
profit mutual benefit cooperative
organized by we'll meaning, altruistic
sponsors with no idea of profit to
themselves"
Group Health, he said, had been
established to provide two things:
First, medical care at less cost
with the advantages of group prac-
tice.
Second, the chance to budget
family expenses of medical care
through small prepayment spread
over q period of time"
