By JAMES E. CHM.

A municipality owned and operated
underground rapid transit system
that would provide speedy transpor-
tation to Government workers and
others through the congested busi-
ness section is one of the major
recommendations to be made by
House subcommittee for solving
some of Washington acute trafic
problems, it was announced last
night by Chairman Schultz.
Other recommendation include:
An absolute ban on curb parking
between 7 am. and 7 pm. in the
area bounded by Seventh street on
the east, Seventeenth street on the
west, Constitution avenue on the
south, and K street on the north.
An appeal to the Baltimore &
Ohio. Pennsylvania and other rail-
roads entering the District to pro-
vide special commuter service to
and from nearby Maryland and
Virginia points.
The recommendations will be
based on the result of study of
the traffic situation which the sub
committee completed late Yesterday
following series of public hearings
on a bill authorizing the Commits
sioners to establish municipality
owned automobile parking lots on
the fringe of the central business
district and to install an unlimited
number Of parking meters.
Location Left to Engineers.
Mr.. Schultz said the subcommittee
would recommend that the revenue
derived from proposed 1-cent in
crease in the local gasoline tax,
estimated at about sl50O.000 a year,
be used exclusively for construction
Of municipal subway rapid transit
system and that the Federal Gov
eminent share equally in the cost
of the project since it is largely re-
sponsible for existing conditions. A
bill is pending on the House call
endar to raise the local gasoline tax
from 2 to 3 cents gallon. This
Commissioners had asked for a A.
cent tax to help finance the proposed
long-range $4,000 highway i'm
provement program.
Location of the subWays, Mr..
Schultz explained. will be left to
engineers the subcommittee will ask
the Commissioners to employ. Per-
sonally. he said. he believed the
initial unit in the system should
start somewhere along Constitution
avenue and extend as far north as
Park road.
In Congested Areas Only.
The subway service, Mr.. Schultz
pointed out, would in no wise be
competitor of the Capital Transit
Co., as the underground trains
would operate only through the con-
gested sections with view of less
ening traffic in these areas. In
effect, he declared. the subway
trains would constitute a feeder for
the surface cars and buses of the
transit company at the ternint OF
the underground system.
Meanwhile, the question Of
whether the District should require
provision of off-street parking facil-
titles before permits could be granted
for construction of apartments. ho-
tells, ETC., was reopened with reports
that a special public hearing on
such a proposal may be called soon
by the Zoning Commission.
The preliminary report Of the
House subcommittee to be submitted
to the full District Committee at its
meeting tomorrow, according to
Chairman Schultz, will urge the
Commissioners Immediately to en-
ploy engineers to begin studies look
ing toward construction of the un-
derground system.
Il realize it will take some years to
build a subway system, so start

Consolidated Aircraft
Signs Pact Ending
Threat Of Strike
Midland Steel Union
Votes to Return to
Work Tomorrow
By the Associated Press.


A strike threat which had men
aced production of a big bomber
plant was removed yesterday and
workers voted to end a two-week
walkout at steel plant.
Consolidated Aircraft Corp. signed
a labor contract at San Diego, Calf,
with an A. F. L. machinist union
which had threatened a walkout
to enforce demands for wage in
creaSeS.
Maj. R. H. Fleet, president of the
company, said that on the basis OF
existing contracts for $3.50 900, 900 of
planes the wage increase would cost
$82 100000 A statement oy the
company on the contract signing
made no mention of an effort to
obtain Government assistance in
meeting the increased cost resulting
from the wage boost, but COM
pany spokesman said "the logical
conclusion would be that some un-
derstanding had been reached with
the Government"
Wage Increase Granted
The wage agreement will provide
a raise for beginners from SIS cents
to a scale of 60-65 cents for a IL
week period. A 13-cent an hour
increase will be given workers above
the 65-cent level.
At Cleveland, C. I. o. United Auto
mobile Workers voted to end a two
week strike by returning to work
tomorrow at the Midland Steel Prod
ucts Co. The strike resulted in l 400
men standing idle at the Midland
plant, which supplies frames to sew
eral automobile companies. A union
negotiator said the agreement ap-
proved unanimously by the union
would result in every employe get
ting an 8-cent-an-hour increase,
with some adjustments running as
high as A cents an hour.
20 Defense Strikes.
In a survey of the current situa-
ton, the ONCE of Production Man
agement reported that there were
20 strikes in plants holding defense
contracts, including Army and Navy
orders. However, the report said
that only seven had any significant
effect on the defense program.
At Akron the eight-day strike OF
the A. F. L. Teamsters' Union ended
when members voted to accept q
settlement proposal.

ers authorized a strike at the Hewitt

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Oct. 18.-Eight whole
Russian armies-perhaps a mil
lion and quarter of Marshal
Semeon TimoShenko'S fighting
men-have been annihilated in
the gigantic double battle of en-
circlement at BryanSk and
Vyazma during the German
drive toward Moscow, a special
war bulletin declared tonight.
The communique from the field
headquarters of Adolph Hitler listed
648,196 prisoners taken, and of the
rest reported:
The bloody losses of the enermy
again were heavy
The battles we're officially declared
completed except for the mop-up of
small, scattered Red Army forces.
Bryansk is 210 miles southwest and
Vyazma lbs miles west of Moscow.
Capture of l.197 Tanks Claimed.
Thus we're written off what the
Germans regard as the greatest bat
ties of military history during which
the strongly manned outer defenses
of Moscow itself were preached.
The communiQue, heralded by
hints "a hours earlier that an i'm
portant announcement might be ex-
pected soon, said incalculable guam
titles of war material, including
1,197 tanks and 5,229 pieces of artil-
lery had fallen into German hands.
1t credited the victory TO co-or-
dinated efforts of the air corps and
powerful infantry and tank forces.
The announcement said the eight
armies which were wiped out con-
sisted of 81 infantry divisions, six
cavalry divisions and seven tank
divisions, as we'll as six tank
brigades.

In the Donets region alone nine

been destroyed in the course of
bombing attacks on troop concen-

Elsewhere along and behind the
fighting front Russian gun positions
