To Consider Grievances

500 Baltimore Transit Co. employees,
whose one-day strike cut trolley and
bus operations by nearly q third,
went back to work today on a War
Labor Board promise that If the
concern did not consider grievances,
White House action might follow.
The AFL's Amalgamated Associa-
ton Of Street, Electric Railway and
Motor Coach employees voted cessa-
tion Of the walkout last night after
hearing an appeal by Waldo C.
Holden, War Labor Board mediator,
sent to Baltimore from Washington.

representative, told the strikers he
had been assured by the WLB that
If work were resumed at once the
company must comply with a WLB
order directing consideration of
grievances or face possible action
by the White House.
The union asserted failure to con-
slider grievances caused the strike.
The company, which said opera
tions had been reduced to 10 per
cent of normal by the walkout yes
terday at 4 am, reported 476 men
participated. More than 500 at
tended the union meeting.
Lines leading to the big war pro-
duction centers at Sparrows Point
and Curtis Bay were hardest hit,
but factory officials said output was

The third takes in our marines in

Falls Church Moves
To End Traffic Jams,
Fixes Parking Zones
Pedestrian CrosswuIks
Also to Be Pointed
In Business Area

In a move to eliminate traf1ic
snarls in the center Of the town
business district, the Falls Church
Council last night authorized re-
stricted parking zones at the inter-
section of Washington and Broad
streets and ordered pedestrian
cross-Walks to be designated.
Under the council order the area
on North Washington street from
Broad street to an alley near Tay-
lor's store will be restricted for use
by commercial vehicles in the proc
ess of loading or unloading. Buses
which have used this area as a stop
will be requested to load and unload
passengers in the area on Washing
ton street south of the Broad street
intersection.
The area on the north side Of East
Broad street, reaching 100 feet from
the intersection Of washington
street, will be lined of for 45-degree
parking and cross walks will be
painted. Cross walks also will be
painted at Great Falls and Spring
streets.
In answer to a request from the
Falls Church auxiliary police. the
Council voted to put police car at
the disposal of special officers who
man the police station from mid
nigth until 6 am.
Mayor B. N. Gibson said that while
In the past it had been thought
wise" to have police calls transferred
to regular officers, the high type"
men now on duty with the auxiliary
police eliminated the need for this
precaution. He added that he would
issue an order giving these special
night police full police powers while
on duty.
The Council reported streets in
Greenway Downs section will be re-
paired by the contractor for that
area as soon as weather permits.
The Council also voted to request
the Virginia Public Service Co. to
leave street lights burning about Is
minutes longer in the mornings dur
ing the winter, and authorized the
purchase of a billing machine at
cost Of $500.

North Carolina Rationizq
OF Liquor Hurts Virginia
BY the Associated presa.


RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 15.-Vir-
ginia's liquor sales may eventually
be subject to tighter restrictions
but there is no plan now to reduce
the present quarter-a-customer al
lowance, a spokesman for the State
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
said yesterday.
North Carolina's newly inaugu-
rated rationing system, which gen.
orally limits buyers of hard spirits
to quart a week, already has
put tremendous pressure" on the
Virginia ABC stores in border cities
such as Danville, the spokesman
said. Heavy buying cleaned out
the shelves of one Of Danville's
two stores of everything except
wines and rum on Saturday.
Continued heavy buying was re-
ported at Norfolk and Roanoke,
and the board said the run on the
stores were due primarily to the
rumor, several times denied by the
ABC, that the stores would close
on December Is until after
Christmas.

.FPHA ASKS Bids
On 200 More
Housing Units
Three Huge Projects
For War Workers to
Be Built in Arlington

Bids for construction of 500 family
dwelling units on Columbia Pike
near the Army and Navy Country
Club in Arlington by the Federal
Public Housing Authority will be
opened Thursday, it was announced
today.
FPHA spokesmen said an AA-4
priority has been received for the
construction of the units, which will
utilize a minimum of critical ma
terials. The houses, which will be
one and two story and will be
available for war workers who have
come to the District area since
July l, will be constructed of cinder
block walls and floors of concrete
slabs.
$40 More Planned.
Bids on another housing project,
consisting of 800 family dwelling
units to be located on Glebe road
near Shirley drive and South Ar
lingtcn road will be opened as soon
as pr1orities are granted, the FPHA
said. This project originally called
Tor 1,020. units, it was said, but lack
OF space at the Glebe road and Shir-
ley drive location will prevent the
erection of all planned. The other
200 units, it was added, will be erect
ed elsewhere.
The FPHA announced that bids
will be opened this month or next,
pending the awarding of priorities,
for the construction of the jefferson
Davis one-room dormitory apart
ments for war workers. These apart
ments will consist of $50 units and
will be located near Eighteenth,
Fern, Eads and Twenty-second
streets in Arlington.
No Room for Children.
The Jefferson Davis project will
differ from the other two FPHA
dwelling projects, it was said, in
that it will comprise furnished light
housekeeping apartments for war
workers, and will contain no pro-
visions for children. Cinder- block
construction with concrete floors will
be used, it was said, and the units
probably will consist, of one-room
apartments with simple housekeep-
ing arrangements.
Ofhcials said the FPHA is pur-
chasing multi-use. streamlined fur
niture for the jefferson Davis, sim
liar to furniture now being used all
over the country in war workers
apartments. The average cost of
furnishing an apartment housing
two people, 1t was said, is $120.

He's not one to dislose all his
tricks.

Ruling on Bus Stop
Adds Mileage, Says
A., B. & ". Official
R. T. Mitchell Cites
Order to Use Inside
Terminal sf Pentgsans

A War Department ruling requir-
Ing buses 70 stop at the inside ter
mihal llof the Pentagon Building in
stead OF continuing to use an outside
loading platform will increase the
mileage of each A. B. & w. bus serv-
ing the building by -eighths Of
a mile each trip. according to r. T.
Mitchell, trafi1c manager for the
company.
The War Department also has
asked the A. B. & w. to route buses
using the Memorial, as well as the
Highway Bridge, by the Pentagon
Building, but Mr.. Mitchell said the
step would increase the mileage of
those buses by mile and a half
each trip and the company has re-
fused the request.
Running Time Lengthened.
In addition to the increased mile
age caused by using the inside ter
minal, the running time of each bus
will be heightened by at least five
minutes, and the present condition
OF the roads around the Pentagon
Building will add greatly to the wear
and tear on the equipment, Mr..
Mitchell said. He added, however,
that when the new roads are COM
pleted the time will be made up
when the need for stopping at in
tersecting roads Is eliminated.
The added mileage will work to
the disadvantage Of the company,
because the Office of Defense Trans
portation has ruled that the 40 new
buses which the A. B. & w. hopes to
acquire may not be run more than
1000 miles a month each.
10 New Buses Ready.
Delivery of the buses was prom
ised this month. The company has
been informed that 10 Of the vehi-
cles are ready and the others are
expected to be completed before
January /.
Permission to purchase the buses
had been given by the War Produc-
ton Board, but Mr.. Mitchell says it
is now necessary for the ONCE of
Defense Transportation to approve
the delivery. 1t is likely that some
of the buses will be diverted to other
cities. as they were purchased with
the understanding that they would
be a part of a pool and allocated to
the locality in which the ODT finds
the need most acute, according to
Mr.. Mitchell.
