School Nursery Bill
Hearings Scheduled
After Fall Election
Senator Copper Receives
Eieht-Puge Statement
From Works Agency

kilograms and letters from seven
District organizations urging hear
ings on the Randolph school nursery
bill were made public today by Sen
ator Capper, Republican, of Kansas,
chairman of the Subcommittee on
Nursery Schools of the Senate Dis
trict Committee.
At the same time Senator Capper
announced that no action will be
taken on the bill until after the No
vember elections. Hearings will be
held after the elections, he said.
Senator Capper reported he had
received an eight-page statement
from the Federal Works Agency
which has charge of both WPA
nursery schools and those financed
with Lanham Act funds.
The FWA statement explained
fully the two types of nursery schools
that would open in the District fol-
lowing passage of the Randolph bill
One type would be the WPA nursery
schools for children of employed
mothers, financed out of a $4,000, 900
appropriation passed in July.
The educational and other stand
ards of WPA nursery schools have
been accredited as equally. high or
higher than those of private schools
by nursery school leaders, the report
said.
The second group of nursery
schools under FWA, those financed
out of Lanham Act funds, are de-
scribed in the report as being limited
to children of war workers, or in war
areas. Only one of these nurseries
has been started so far.
Meanwhile, the Emergency Com
mittee for the Care of the Pre-
School Child urged all women in
terested in the child care volunteer
course to register at the American
Womens Voluntary Services, 217O
Florida avenue, Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday next week. They
may call Dupont 1478 for appoint
ments.

To Federal BUILDINGS
In Arlington Studied
Senator Burton Confers
With Transit Officials
On Operation Problems

The problem of fixing a uniform
bus fare from the District to Gov
eminent buildings in nearby Arl-
ington County is far from solution,
Chairman Burton of a special Sen
ate Transportation Subcommittee,
announced today after a confer
ence with transit representatives.
He indicated further study
would be made of transportation
costs and various technical problems
dealing with bus operation and said
he had requested the regional COM
mittee of the Office of Defense
Transportation to work closely with
the Public Utilities Commission in
an effort to decide upon a uniform
rate of fare.
F. w. Lovejoy, executive secretary
of the Regional Committee, re-
ported that the fare question had
recently been discussed with officials
of the companies operating buses to
the Government buildings in Airing
ton County-the Capital Transit Co.,
the Arlington and Fairfax Bus Co.
and the Arlington, Ballston and
Washington Bus. Co.
In addition to Mr.. Lovejoy. those
who conferred with Senator Burton
included Milton E. Diehl, Virginia
representative on the Regional Com
mittee; William A. Van Duzer, the
District representative; Brig Gen.
John T. Lewis, in command of the
armed forces protecting the District;
Corporation Counsel Richmond B.
Keech; Gregory Hankin, a member
Of the Public Utilities Commission,
and Fred A. Sager, chief engineer
Of the commission.
Mr.. Lovejoy disclosed that as a re-
suit of the regional committees
conferences with transit officials
some progress had been made to-
ward establishment of uniform
bus fare ranging somewhere be-
tween 10 and 20 cents for round
trips to the Office buildings in near
by Virginia.

81 Arrested in D. T..
In b|ackout Cases.:
Fines Total $905
Twenty Face Charges
After Lost Ruid Test
September %

Eighty-seven arrests for blackout
violations here have been made
since March Is, with fines amount
ing to S905, Maj Edward j. Kelly,
superintendent of police, reported
today.
At the same time, he disclosed
that the last AFRAID test, held on
September %, resulted in 20 viola
tons. Those violators paid out a
total of $167 in fines and fo1feits.
OF the II blackout violations re-
ported by six precincts in the last
test, 16 arrests were made for lights
left burning either inside or out
side premises, four of these occur
ring in commercial establishments
and the others in residences. The
Traffic Department made three of
the arrests.
Ten arrests, Maj. Kelly reported,
have been made between tests in
accordance with the Commissioners
order of March 20, forbidding lights
visible from the sky to be left on
when no one was in the vicinity to
control them.
For this violation, fines and for
feits amounting to SIS were paid out.
All the arrests were made in the
sixth and ninth precincts.
The largest individual forfeit or
fine was SIS, paid out by the man
agement of the S. S. Potomac on a
charge Of running with all lights
burning during the all-night black
out June II.
There have been Is air raid tests
since the first one last December 81,
but it was not until the fourth test,
which lasted for four hours March
Is, that the first arrest was made.
Previously, violators were merely
given warning of their offenses. The
first violation prosecuted was on an
arrest made in the twelfth precinct.
A SIS forfeit was paid for light left
burning.
No cases were made as result of
the April IA test but the following
one, held on May II, resulted in four
prosecutions for light violations with
total of SOS paid out in fines.
The largest number of arrests was
made as a result of the August 10
test. During this test, police made
80 arrests with fines and forfeits
amounting to 1915.
OF the 81 arrests made, only four
did not result in a conviction or a
forfeiture of collateral. These four
cases did not get into court because
the corporation counsers ONCE did
not consider there was sufficient
evidence to get conviction. No
cases brought into court were dis
missed.
Police activity has resulted in
warnings to hundreds of minor
violators. Since the May II test,
arrests were made in every prac-
tice except for the fifst unan-
nounced test when the Commission.
ers failed to back up their regula-
tons with . specific order which
would permit prosecutions.
