Need Of D. {. Subways
Expressed by De|ano

Chairman Frederic A. Delano of
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, voiced belief
today that Washington probably
needs some sort of subway system
to cope with its mass transporta-
ton problems.
Addressing the Trafic Committee
OF the Board Of Trade. Mr.. Delano
suggested that one subway line
could be built from Key Bridge in
Georgetown along the line of E
street, connecting with Massachu-
sets avenue near Union Station
then extended to the eastern sec
ton Of the city somewhere along
the line of Constitution and Inde-
pendence avenues.
He said another line could be built
running from the north to the south.
connecting residential and business
districts and with the east-west
highway.
Heretofore we have not consid-
cred the possibility of subways." he
said, but the city probably needs
some sort Of subway system now"
Mr.. Delano made this comment in
a brief discussion of long-range
planning for Washington. AS a
means of improving the traffic prob
lem now, he suggested sinplifica-
ton OF trafic rules so that thev
can be understood by visitors who
don't know the intricacies of our
city"

Kent Island Gets
Scare as Balloon
Goes A. VOL.
Ry The Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CENTREVILLE, Md, Nov. "a
Kent Islanders got an explanation
today for those mysterious noises
on their rooftops-they were in the
tail end Of sort of air raid.
The explanation was an Army
barrage balloon that drifted to
earth on Frank w. Benton's farm
yesterday after soaring all the way
from Camp Davis, N. C.
Until 1t was found, Sheriff E. E.
Coursey didn't have an answer to
reports from Kent Island of strange
noises Saturday night. Sheriff
Coursey concluded. however, that
steel cables from the balloon prob
ably dragged over the roofs of houses
and barns.
Omcers at Camp Davis said the
balloon apparently was one of six
that broke loose during a storm.
A penciled card attached to it bore
the notation, &C. s Bar Bin Btl,
Camp Davis, N. c.. Battery A."
Soldiers from Camp Davis were
due here today to claim the balloon.

R. A. F. PsychiatriSt
Opens Conferences
With j. ). Officials
DR.. Gillespie Will Tell
Of Effects Of Stress
On Pilots and Civilians

A series OF conferences between
Dr.. Robert Dick Gillespie. pSychi-
atric specialist Of the ROYAL Air
Force. and officers ci the Army and
Navy Medical Corps, the once OF
Civilian Dc.cuSe and the Social
Security Board opened this morning
at the Metropolitan Club
Al these conferences. which are
closed. Dr. Gil,eSNc will tell Of the
effects Of stress on Il, A, F.. pilots
and on the civilian population.
The British pSytbiatriSt came to
the United States last week as the
Salmon lecturer before the New York
Academy OF Medicine and will de-
liver series OF public lectures in
five American cities.
The number of pSychoneurotic
cases which have developed in the
r. A F.. he says, is surprisingly
small and even in the civilian popu-
lation the number of neuroSes IS
less than in the last war. This Is
partly due. he believes, to the con-
slant activity of the flyers which
does not give them time to worry
about themselves and the air raid
shelter system where there is con-
slant sharing of danger.
The state of apathy both in SOL
diers and civilians is constantly to
be guarded against, DR.. Gillespie
says. although it is often overlooked
by pSychiatriStS. 1t is usually, he
stresses. a result of constant thWart-
ing of simple desires-in the case
of the soldier of the instinct for
self-preservation and in the civilian
of the desire for action.
The state, Dr.. Gillespie says, fire.
auently precedes nervous and men
tai breakdowns.
Tomorrow the conference will
move TO the War Department, where
DR.. Gillespie will confer with officers
of the morale branch of the Army.

Price Control

istration forces as price enforce
ment instrument. The licenses would
be on specific commodities which
the administrator has elected to
control, and revocation would only
prevent a business concern from
handling the particular commodity
on which the price ceiling was vio-
lated.
Witnesses Cast Spells"
While general debate will con-
tinue in the House tomorrow, the
committee will again meet to con-
slider another last-minute change to
broaden the administrations power
to buy and sell commodities as one
means OF controlling the price.
Commenting on the fact that Ber-
nard M. Baruch, veteran economist
of the World War, favors the "over-
all" price freezing plan Of Repre-
sentative Gore, Mr.. Steagall told
the House:
He almost mesmerized the bank
ing Committee like he seems to have
done with the Rules Committee"
Wasn't the real trouble with your
committee that you got under the
Henderson spell and haven't come
out yet" asked Representative
Michener. Republican, of Michigan.
Mr.. Michener was referring to
Leon Henderson, head of the once
Of Price Administration, already
functioning by executive order and
who is expected to be named price
administrator under the pending
legislation.
Predicts More Spending.
Earlier today the House adopted
the open rule recommended by the
Rules Committee, allowing all Of to-
day and tomorrow for general de-
bate. and making it possible for any
germane amendment, including the
Gore substitute, to be offered start
ing Wednesday.
Mr.. Steagall told the House that
in normal times members of Con-
gress would not consider price con-
troll along the lines proposed, but,
referring to the danger Of imitation
in the present emergency, declared
I'VE are only at the beginning of
this program of expenditures"
He predicted the defense program
may reach point where the Gov
ernment will be spending at the rate
of three, four or five billion dollars
q month.
If We can impose a price con-
troll that is effective, we will to some
extent remove the cause of strikes, u
said Mr.. Steagall. because I venture
to predict we are not going to take
away the right of labor to strike.
If price-control legislation is not
passed, he predicted. the strike situ-
alton will be worse six months from
n0W ..

Germans are pressed by the British

Apparently the Germans preferred

Perhaps the most credit so far as
land forces are concerned should

a panzer force more decisively than
the British ever did before. The

The American M-3 tanks they
