La Guardia Again Sees
President al Lunch
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Amid recurring reports that he
would take over projected new
home defense agency, Mayor La
Guardia of New York had a lunch
con appointment today with Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The President indicated Friday
that he was about ready to set up a
Government agency to administer
civilian defense. The White House
said today an order to do so was not
yet in sight.
The new organization will be de-
signed to give every individual a
chance to do his part for national
defense Mayor La Guardia has
been frequent caller at the White
House in the last few weeks, but
neither he nor the President has
confirmed or denied that the mayor
would direct home defense.
Sill convalescing from a CASTRO
intestinal disorder, Mr.. Roosevelt
continued today to keep all appoint
ments in his quarters in the White
House proper.
His physician, Rear Admiral Ross
r. McIntire, believed he could keep
better control" over the Chief Ex-
ecutive by keeping him out of the
executive Office, the White House
said.

200 Auto Tires in 18th Precinct

Residents of the area between
Eighteenth street and Connecticut
avenue NV. in the Belmont road
vicinity, spent yesterday changing
tires in the wake of knife-wielding
vandals
A policeman reported today that
200 tires of automobiles parked on
his beat in the thirteenth precinct
had been debated or were slashed
by the vandals who operated late
Saturday night.
Complaints from approximately
IS motorists with two or more tires
slashed were made at the precinct
station and the American Auto.

for service starting at about 9 am.
and continuing until 2 pm. yester-
day.
An A. A. A. official said garages in
the vicinity received two or three
calls from a single block at the same
time, with other residents calling in
to ask II the men at work in the
block could change their tires, too.

curb.
Guests leaving the Valley Vista
apartment late Saturday night found
their tires nat and had to change
them before they could get home.
Noise Of tools dropping in the street
kept residents of the vicinity awake.
BY the time the streets quieted down
again. early-rising residents, intent
on getting out into the country for
the day. had to go to work on their
tires. Then, resident of the vicin-
ity said. the garage trucks came and
shattered the quiet again.
Some of the tires were slashed,
apparently with knife or pick, in
the sidewalks. Others were Debated

Jams Grocery Stores.
I'VE can control the billing, but
not the paying"
The electric company sends out
about 1000 bills day, the gas
company about $4,000 week with
20 days grace for payment. On
pay days the bookkeepers on the
night force who normally finish
around $50 pm. often have to work
until 2:30 am.
Hard hit by the upS-and-downs
created by the bimonthly pay plan
are the grocery stores. The day after
pay day. the grocery stores are
jammed with wives of Government
employees buying as much as weeks S
supply of goods. If Friday happens
to be pay day, the whole load OF
buying falls on Saturday instead OF
being spread over several days.
Trained grocery clerks are getting
scarcer every day and housewives
have to wait as long as half hour
while other housewives fill up mar
ket baskets.
Just to add to their headaches,
grocery stores that put in extra
stock to take care Of the after-pay-
day peak sometimes get stuck" with
perishable goods.
Restaurants Note Rush.
While sirloin steaks adorn the
dinner tables of some Government
employees, their colleagues prefer to
dine out these two big nights a
month. Proprietors of large restau-
rants say their business charts in
dictate the day of the month.
Washington's night clubs. too,
would welcome distribution of pay
days among members of the Gov
ernment family. Spokesmen for
several clubs saiG their business
f1uctuated from virtually complete
sellouts on payday nights to an i'm
posing array of empty tables and
idle walters in the days preceding
the 1st and 18th. Also by the
calendar, champagne dollars dwindle
to beer dimes.
Under a stagger-pay plan, de-
mand on hotels for dancing space
for State society functions would
be more evenly distributed through
out the month, hotel managers
maintain. At present, wise promo
ters of such functions make an
effort to set the date as near as
possible to the prosperous side OF
pay days.
Taxicabs = Barometer.
Theater managers differ on the
effect Of pay days on attendance, but
all of them agree that a stagger-
plan would be good thing. One
spokesman maintained that movie
business depends most on the at.
traction, but another insisted that
good turnout for a good picture
invariably is better the day after
than the day before pay day. Officials
at the Glen Echo amusement park
also noted that considerably more
money is spent Immediately after
pay day.
Taxicab companies consider them
selves barometer of spending
Workers who have been leading
quiet lives all want to go out the
night OF pay day and, as everybody
who ever tried to get a cab knows,
1t takes half an hour or longer to
get cab those nights.

and the four or five following days.
Others say it doubles. Trunk lines
into taxi dispatchers' Offices are
jammed payday night and no dis
patchers are given days of around
pay day.
Company officials would like to
see staggered paydays because they
know they're giving poor service at
the peak periods and can't do any
thing about 1t.
Extra Police Detailed.
Cab drivers complain because they
never know when they can pay
their rent or buy groceries with such
a fluctuating income, but they also
are likely to use impolite language
about the traffic jams they get in
volved in when they pick up Gov
ernment employees who want to get
theil checks cashed.
Capt. Milton D. Smith of the
TRAFFIC Division pulls dozen men
off beats and clerical jobs to police
additional intersections in the
downtown area. He has to be care
full about granting leaves on paydays
because he has no additional men
available.
Traffic Director Van Duzer said
that all other conditions being equal,
accident rates involving both per-
sonal and property damage are
usually higher on payday and the
day after than before For example,
there were so accidents April 30
and SO on May l. On April % there
were only 80 and on May 2 but 28
On April IS there were 40 accidents,
80 the day before and 81 the day

27 accidents against "a the day be-
fore. but there were IS on the day
