Park Service Joins
In Opposing Two
Rezoning Pleas
Montgomery Boord Hears
Applications Involving
Conduit Rood Sites

Plans of the National Park Serv-
ice to make Conduit road a highway
devoid Of commercial zoning were
cited by opponents at hearing
yesterday on two applications for
rezoning of sites along the road.
Irving G. Root. superintendent of
National Capital Parks, expressed
the opposition of that group to both
applications, which seek commercial
classification for tracts along the
road, known as Macarthur boule-
ward in the District.
The applicants are Mrs. Bessie
Miller and Mrs. Annie Mae Del
linger.
Mr.. Root told the Montgomery
County Commissioners, who con-
Quoted the hearing, that years ago
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission requested that no
more commercial zoning be per-
mitted on the boulevard.
The Park Service has expressed
the hope that commercial establish
ments built on residential property
before enactment of the county
coming ordinance, such az the two
on which hearings were held yester-
day, would be replaced some day by
private homes, according to Mr..
Root.
Mr.. Root was the only person to
appear in opposition to the Miller
application, which involves property
near Glen Echo Park, but score of
residents from the vicinity of
Brookmont objected to the Dellinger
application. Resolutions of protest
against the latter application were
presented by the Potomac Valley
Citizens Association and the Civic
League of Brookmont and vicinity.
At the conclusion of the testi-
mony, Chairman Thomas E. Hamp-
ton announced that because of fail
ure to comply with regulations 1t
would be necessary for Mrs. Del
linger to make another application.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dellinger operate q

as Hilltop Tavern on the site.

O'Conor Declares
p the Associated Press.


ANNAPOLIS, Md, May ga de-
tailed plan for the transportation of
troops and supplies across the Ches-
apeake Bay and the evacuation of
civilians from the Eastern Shore via
the State-owned Annapolis Mata-
peake ferry route was In the blue
print stage today.
Gov. OpConor, announcing the
plan after conferring with Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Sd Corps Area Of
ficials and the State Roads Com
mission, said that approximately
$4,000 persons an hour could be car
ried across the Bay on a veritable
bridge Of ferry vessels and other
available craft.
J The plan would operate in the
event of an emergency in which
arterial highways and bridges to the
north might be rendered useless,
and the quick concentration of
troops and supplies shoreward and
simultaneous evacuation Of citizens
to the Western Shore became neces-
Sary.
President Roosevelt expressed con-
siderable interest and Maj. Gen.
Milton A. Reckord, Third Corps
Area commander, gave his approval
of the plan, Gov. OConor said.
Before the plan could become
operative, Gov. O'Conor said, i'm
provements to the Matapeake Ferry
terminal involving between $500 900
and $400. 900 would be necessary He
explained that while the State
would bear part of the cost, the
Federal Government would be ex-
pected to contribute heavily toward
financing the project.
The contemplated new western
shore terminal at Sandy Point, re-
placing the present Annapolis ter
minal which is to be taken over by
the Naval Academy, would serve
without additional expenditure be-
yond that already appropriated, the
Governor said.

tation last night told q public meet
ing called by District traf1lc officials
to promote conservation Of trans

Edward A. Roberts, associate d.
rector, Division Of Local Transport,
once of Defense Transportation,
predicted before an audience at the
Departmental Auditorium that the
following steps would have to be
taken in connection with trans
portation of war workers here:
l. Parkway roads now restricted
to private vehicles to be opened to
express bus routes.
2. Some of the seats in buses and
streetcars may have to be removed
in order to increase their capacity
by providing more room for ISLANDERS.
This already is being tried in an
other large American city, which
was not named.
May Eliminate Stops.
3. Fewer stops and less frequent
service during the more slack hours.
4. Further staggering Of hours Of
workers.
S. The short haul rider will be
forced to become q walker and q
reasonable" walking distance will
be stretched to the limit.
MIR. Roberts was one Of three
speakers at the meeting, which was
attended by about IS persons.
Traffic Director william A. Van
Duzer, who called the meeting with
the approval of Commissioner
Young and officials of the o. D. T.
and ONCE of Price Administration,

get only few gallons Of gasoline

Senator Burton, chairman of the
TRAFFIC Subcommittee of the Senate
District Committee. emphasized that
every gallon of gasoline you use
has been brought to the East at
the risk Of q seaman's life"
Wastage Is Sabotage"
Wastage of gas and rubber, he said
is a form of sabotage, carried on
thoughtlessly." Every time a person
uses a gallon Of gasoline to turn the
wheels of his car, these strategic
products are being burned up as
effectively as If they were destroyed
by q bomb, he declared.
A third speaker was j. Paul
Schwab. director Of tire rationing,
O. p. A., who said that the most
optimistic estimates on the rubber
supplies available may be upset by
sea raiders attacking ships bringing
crude to this country from other
sections OF the Western Hemisphere.
He urged stringent conservation.

Van DuZer thanked those present
for their interest in the problems

A fairly accurate estimate OF
Washington's wartime population
was provided today in the official
tabulation of the city's sugar regis
tration which showed that 731 800
persons applied for sugar ration
books before the four-day enroll
ment was brought to q close last
night.
An eleventh-hour rush, which
forced some Of the local registration
centers to stay on the job until more
than two hours past the scheduled
deadline. raised the final days total
to 200 049-by far the highest num-
Der for single day.
The Office Of Price Administration
said that 96,591 900 sugar ration
books were issued in the Nation
wide registration.
This represented 73 per cent of
the national population, o. p. A.
said.
While the general registration
period closed last night, State adj
ministrators were empowered to ex-
tend the period for one day in cases
where isolated areas were involved.

Some Washington residents, per-
haps as many rs 1000, were turned
away, but District Rationing Super
visor Lawson j. Cantrell declared
most Of the schools remained open
until every one inside had been ac-
eommodated. Most of the 121 regis
tration centers were supposed to
close at 7 pm. but only few were
able to do so.
In addition to those turned away,
there were probably q good many
others"-people who dine regularly
In restaurants and others who have
plentiful supplies Of sugar on hand
who didn't apply, Mr.. Cantren said
One citizen who called him to ask
whether he should register reported
he had years supply of sugar in
his home, Mr.. Cantreu said.
Applicants Exceed 1910 Census.
The total number of persons who
applied for ration books was 68,878
more than the 1910 census of Wash
tngton's population. Out Of the
731 $50 applications books were
issued to 708,372, the remainder
having been denied ration certif1-
Gates when they admitted possess
sion Of an excess amount of sugar
Long waiting lines marked the
final days registration as weary
school teachers toiled to complete
the registration within the four
day period. Many citizens waited
until the last minute to visit the
registration centers and, as a result,
some schools reported they had
registered more persons after 8
O'Clock last night than during the
preceding nine hours.
Mr.. Cantrell, who wasn't able to
head for home until am. today,
paid tribute to the hundreds of
teachers and other volunteers who
worked overtime to carry out the
huge job. He also commended the
