She was pretty little woman,
brown eyed and brown haired, and she.
wore a sheer blue dress with string
of white beads around her neck. Not
at all tn costume I had expected to-
find an expert factory forewoman
wearing. But then I found out that
the floor where she and group of
young women assemble precision in
st1uments for tanks and planes and
ships was spotless as well-kept kit
chen, and as cool as a breeze swept
living room. The girls themselves were
gaily dressed too and as well mani
cured and waved as girls in offices or
schools.
"Why not2' she asked me when /
expressed surprise. 'Working in a
factory doesn't make a girl different,
you know. She is Just as fond of
pretty things and good times as any
other girl isl
Then to my establishment I found
that this older woman, who has be-
come a supervisor and holds position
of responsibility and trust in a famous
manufacturing plant, is pretty much
like the rest of us too, just as eager to
" do something useful" in this emer-
gency as those of us who are simply
housekeepers.

De|ano Suggests Two
Subways 10 Improve
Mass transportation
Tells Trade Board Unit
Simp|ificotion Of Traffic
Rules Would Aid

Washington probably needs some
sort of subway system now to cope
with its ever-increasing mass trans
portation problems, in the opinion
of Frederic A. Delano. chairman of
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission.
Mr.. Delano made this comment
Yesterday in an address before the
Board of Trades Traffic Commit
tee, in which he discussed long
range planning for Washington.
Without going into detail, the
planning commission chairman sug-
gested that two subway lines. one
running east-west and the other
north-south. would improve the
mass transportation system. which
has been taxed by the rapid popula-
ton growth incident to the defense
program.
Sketches Possible Routes.
The east-west line. Mr.. Delano
said. could be built from Key Bridge
in Georgetown along the line of E
street, connecting with Massachu-
setts avenue near Union Station,
then extending to the eastern sec
ton of the city somewhere along the
line of Constitution and Independ-
ence avenues.
The other subway could be built
to connect the residential areas of
the northern part of the city with
the business section, and could be
linked with the east-west subway,
Mr.. Delano said. He added that the
subways could be built near the
surface of the street so as to be high
enough above the water level.
AS means of bringing about i'm
mediate improvement of the situa-
ton. Mr. Delano suggested simplifl-
cation of traffic rules and traffic
signs 80 that they can be readily
understood by visitors who don't
know the intricacies of our city"
Cites New York System.
He said the practice of having a
street one-way in one direction dur
ing certain period, and one-way
in the opposite direction during an
other period was confusing to mo-
torists. especially those visiting the
city. New York has made "a great
success" Of the one-way street sys-
tenn, Mr.. Delano added, because it
has simple rule to follow-all odd
numbered streets are one-way in one
direction, and even n bered
streets are one-way in the opposite
direction.
I'VE should have rules so simple
that you don't need dictionary to
find out where to CO." he said.
Mr.. Delano also suggested stricter
rules governing the licensing and
revocation of licenses Of motorists.

Appeals Board Weighs
BRIDGES Case Evidence

The deportation action against
Harry R. Bridges, West Coast C.
l. o. leader, today was under con-
sidration by the immigration Board
Of Appeals, which yesterday heard
defense counsel attack the credi-
bility of the testimony on which
the Longshoremen's Union head
was found guilty of Communist
acticity, while the Government de-
Tended the findings.
Mr.. Bridges appealed to the board
after Judge Charles B. Sears, sit
ting as special examiner in the
case, recommended that Bridges,
an alien, be sent back to his native
Australia.
The board may either uphold the
decision of Judge Sears, which fol-
lowed nine-week hearing in San
Francisco, and issue a deporta-
tion order. or it may dismiss the
deportation warrant on which the
hearing was based. In either event,
the final decision will rest with
Attorney General Biddle, and if
the deportation should be ordered,
the labor leader may seek to halt
the proceedings by applying in Fed
eral District Court for a writ OF
habeas corpus.

American geography was explained
in simple but glowing terms last
night to Lord and Lady Halifax and
several hundred other members OF
British war duty missions now in
Washington by c. Warren Thorn
thwaite, a dry-humored young man.
The mice point about American
deserts, in contrast to those Of Aus
tralia and the Sahara, was revealed
by DR.. Thornthwaite. Department
of Agriculture executive who was
formerly a University of Oklahoma
professor, and he cleared up a num-
Der of other points for crowd that
jammed Coolidge auditorium in the
Library of Congress.
His was the first lecture before
what the British Ambassador. in his
introduction. identified as "a vast
Improvement society among the
British in Washington" Mrs. Roose-
welt is among the distinguished
Americans who will deliver subse-
quent lectures to "Americanize" the
colony of Britons.
Hits at Nazis.
Lord Halifax delivered one lab at
the Nazis among his genial words OF
introduction.
Unlike those who now govern
Germany" he said. all in this room
believe true knowledge is the basis
Of understanding"
With this, DR.. Thornthwaite
opened class. During his exposition
the lecturer directed attention to
the continental and oceanic features
of a large Office globe which he
twirled as he spoke 1t was labeled
at the bottom: North German
Lloyd. Bremen"
Neither Lord Halifax nor the Agri-
culture Department geographer ex-
planned how this German apparatus
was obtained for edification of the
British and sponsors of the event
appeared baffled. When it was called
to the attention of Miss M. Craig
McGeachy, one of the 10 founders
of the school, she attributed its ap-
pearance solely to broadmindedness.
DR.. Thornthwaite went on to ex-
plain that Texas is the republic be-
tween the United States and Mexico.
Compares Size.
With evident pleasure, he reported
that the distance between London
and Edinburgh is no greater than
Boston to Northern Maine. and
pointed out that eight States are
individually larger than all Great
Britain. Texas would hold three
Britains.
Il don't say this to brag." he in
sisted, I'm not responsible for it.
Many of the States are empty at
any rate, because they are in the
wrong place"
The nice thing about our arid
section-which other deserts lack
is the provision of mountains which
stick up high enough to become
humid islands," he reported. This
means irrigation can be used to re-
claim the desert.
At this point, he turned to lantern

slides. signaling for changes by
swapping a metal cricket which he
said came in his last Christmas
stocking. Showing coastal scenes,
he emphasized that our English an
cestors would have been wiser to
land on the Northwest Coast rather
than at Plymouth Rock, because Of
climate more like England's. He
flashed scene of the Blue Ridge
and another Of the Great Smokes,
but declined to show the farming
country of the Southeast.
1T looks too bad to show YOU" he
said. II hope you never see it."
Shows Grand Canyon.
DR.. Thornthwaite showed the
Grand Canyon, traditionally "a good
place to throw old razor blades, y
and told how during terrific storms
before hitting the ground. He ex-
planned how cowboys become fatally
impaled on leaves of the desert
Yucca and showed sandy regions
useful only for movies of the
French Foreign Legion" He
screened a color picture of Mount
Rainier, whose name slipped him.
1t was supplied by member Of the
audience.
With this conclusion, Lord Hall
fax leaped to the platform from his
seat in the audience, ignoring steps.
He thanked the lecturer on behalf
of the class. which included such
notables as Richard G. Casey, the
