store wardens, they will use the
stairs generally and elevators will
be used only to move the aged and
crippled who, because of their slow
ness, would hazard movement on
the stairs. No outside telephone calls
will be accepted during the alarm.
A practice drill will be held In the
store Monday morning to be sure
all is in readiness for the big re-
hearSal.
Office buildings are also making
special arrangements. In the Ma
tional Press Building. for instance,
people on the top three floors will
be evacuated to the three floors
below them. The visitors from the
street will 60 to the second and
third floors. Three first aid stations,
on the second, seventh and tenth
floors, will be in operation.
A hundred wardens as we'll as fire
and demolition squads will be on
duty. One elevator will be kept in
use as an emergency car, while the
remainder will be taken to the top
floor and halted for the alarm
period.
The Acacia Building, which has
had a number of practice drills and
was among the first to complete
organization, will have fully equip
ped wardens all over the building;
three men, each equipped with
asbestos suit, axe, shovel. sand and
stirrup pump. will be on the roof
and fire monitors will be stationed
in each wing of the building.
Signals to Schools.
Schools will get the yellow signal,
on which teachers have been in
structed to be on the alert for the
alarm. AS soon as the sirens are
sounded, or the red signal is trans
mitted. the pupils will be removed
in accordance with the plans laid
down at frequent drills. No one
will be allowed to leave the schools
and, in some places, the children
will be entertained, or provide their
own entertainment while they re-

Gas and Tire Problem
Credited With Cuttinq
Traffic Court Cases
Speeding Fines in May
Less Than Half TotoI
In Month Yeor Ago

Efforts of motorists to conserve
tires and gasoline were responsible
for a decided reduction in the num-
ber OF traffic cases tried in Police
Court this month, compared with
May, 194l, 1t is believed by Judge
George D. Nelson, who presided in
trsfflc branch of the court in May
both years.
Statistics compiled yesterday for
this month showed l,57l cases tried
and total fines amounting to
$1l,315.75. as compared with 1905
traffic cases tried during May. l941.
when traffic fines levied totaled
$4,000.
Fines for speeding alone in May,
194l. equaled $11,660, or slightly
more than all trafic fines combined
for this May.
Along with a general falling of
in the number of speed cases, which
went down from l08S In May. 194l,
to $50 during this May, Judge Neil
son observed that speeds have not
been as excessive this month as
they were in May of last year. Then
the average fine for speeding was
approximately $1l, whereas the av-
erage for the speed cases this year
was about $3.50 per case. Speed fines
this May netted $5,244.
AS Judge Nelson grades his fines
in accordance with the actual speed,
he points out that the smaller fine
indicates that even those who have
been convicted of speeding this year
have not been travelling as fast on
the average as the speeders in May,
l94l.
Feeling that gasoline rationing
also has played a part in making
motorists conscious Of the necessity
of saving gasoline, Judge Nelson
points out that the average fine of
about $8.87 for speeders during the
first half month was considerably
more than the average fine for
speeding during the second half.
During the period from May 16,
when the gasoline rationing was in
effect. the average fine for speeding
was about s780. This. in turn, he
said. indicated the speeders were
not going as fast generally as those
convicted Of speeding during the
first half of the month.

ger agent of the Baltimore & Ohio,
said here yesterday that his once
had not been advised Of the pro-.
posed restrictions, but that what
was done would be the product of
careful planning by system heads.
Whatever the Government needs of
course, he explained, 1t will get. He
saw no reason, however, why car
riers cannot employ any available
equipment they may have at a
particular time II 1t Is in demand
for some special event.
The Chicago meeting also pro-
duced decision to cut down on the
operation of so-called luxury cars
club cars, for example-where pas
senger-carrying capacity can be in
creased by this step. Day coaches
also will be included in all trains
where this is feasible. The rail-
roads generally now have crack
trains which furnish only Pullman
accommodations.
The railroads. which for several
years have conducted an energetic
advertising campaign to wean busi-
ness away from competitors will dis
continue this brand Of exploitation
for the emergency. Instead, the
advertising will be devoted TO telling
the public what the carriers are do
ing in the war.
Further Curbs Likely.
Further curbs on all forms of
travel were called distinct possi-
bility for the future by Mr.. East
man in a statement released yester-
day by the United States Chamber
of Commerce. The statement was
made for use by the chamber for
radio broadcasts.
Movement of troops already has
placed a heavy burden on railroads
and buses, and as gasoline rationing
curtails travel by automobile, a
further heavy load will be placed
on rail and motor bus lines. he said.
Expressing the hope that 1T will
not be necessary to resort to ex-
treme measures to control civilian
travel, Mr.. Eastman emphasized the
need for avoiding unnecessary
travel, the spreading of vacations
over the year, and beginning and
ending vacations in the middle OF
the week, instead Of the week end.
Before Pearl Harbor the railroads
were moving about 10000 barrels of
petroleum products daily" Mr.. East
man said. They are now moving
nearly 100000 barrels and have di-
verted more than $50 locomotives to
this movement alone. / expect to
see that figure bettered."

up, auxiliary police will be stationed
at the exits to ask people not to

Sunday Drivers
Cut Down Speed,
Road Tests Show

Week end drivers are not the
speeders they were four years ago
when there was no tire or gasoline
rationing.
Public Roads Administration speed
tests on a section of United States
Route 240, approximately 8 miles
north of Rockville, show drivers
moved on an average of 5h miles
an hour slower than they did over
the same section of road in 1898.
The p. r. A. ofncials admit that
since the data is from only one
section of road it suggests a trend
rather than general conditions.
Recordings were made with auto
matte machines both years.
With comparable volumes of traf-
nc. according to the report, three
fourths of the vehicles travelled
under 40 miles an hour In 1912 as
compared with only 43 per cent In
1898. Three per cent travelled SO
miles an hour or better in 1912 as
compared with IL per cent In 1888.

plans have not yet been completed.
Those who are leaving the city, how
ever. have been advised to get to

vance of the scheduled period dur
ing which the alarm will occur.
since they will not be able to travel
during the alarm period.
1t has been emphasized that the
communications system will not be
tested Tuesday but chiefs Of services
will give out some incidents to be
reported, stating specified times for
the wardens to make the calls so
they won't all come to the control
center at the same time.
1t has been estimated that the
entire civilian defense organization
in the Metropolitan Area can be
alerted from the control center in
50 seconds.

Railroads are expected to proceed
without delay in revamping passen-
ger schedules, 1t was said here yes
terday following the meeting of top
ranking officials in Chicago Friday,
when general policies on prospective
restrictions were agreed upon. The
first step, in all probability. spokes-
men for the carriers said, would be
conferences of the operating heads
of the individual railroads to con-
slider their particular problems.
Whenever united action is decided
upon, the roads will act through the
Association of American Railroads
which has appointed committee
headed by John J. Pelley, the pres
ident, to deal with the ONCE of De-
fense Transportation.
AS Mr.. Pelley explained at the
conclusion OF the Chicago confer
ence, the railroads are not certain
what they will have to do, or can
do. The freight load has increased
more than 80 per cent since the
war started in 1889 and passenger
traffic is up 78 per cent. AS the
war effort is intensified, this load
naturally will increase, and the in
crease no doubt will be accelerated
by restrictions on motor vehicle
operations and the shortage. of
ships. A further complication is
injected by the scarcity OF materials
for new equipment. ALLEGATIONS
made by the War Production Board
for motive power-and freight cars
having been declared totally in
adequate by Joseph B. Eastman,
director of the ONCE of Defense
Transportation.
Special Trains to be Dropped.
One of the moves on which the
carriers have agreed is diScontinu-
ance of special trains for conven-
tions and sporting events. With the
racing season in full bloom, this
may pose a problem for the race
tracks. At present, the Baltimore
& Ohio is running one train daily
to Charles Town from Washington
and another to Delaware Park. The
meetings continue into July. East
of Delaware Park, the Pennsylvania
is operating the racing specials.
Changes in passenger service are
starting June IS, but this does not
necessarily mean that the specials
will be disturbed right at the out
set, as Mr.. Pelley said that the
railroads will continue, in so far
as possible, to handle travellers on
vacation or recreational trips

told the group, amounts to only

The low budget, he pointed out,

to the fact that building and some
