House Passes D. T.. Traffic
And Judqes' Paw Bills

The House yesterday under unani-
nous consent passed two District
bills which have previously been
passed by the Senate. One of these
provides for retirement pay to Ger
tain retired judges of the Police and
Municipal Courts. It applies solely
at the present time to Judge Isaac
Hit, the only person eligible who
is 78 years of age and who served
on the bench the required IL years.
The other bill carries amendments
to the District Traffic Act. One Sec
ton does away with the various
degrees of speeding and sets a fine
of not more than $500 or imprison-
ment not more than 80 days on
speeding charges except in cases
where the offense constitutes reck-
less driving. The other provision
does away with trial by jury for
those apprehended for driving with
out an operators permit and i'm
poses q fine of not more than 5000
or imprisonment for not more than
80 days.
Chairman Randolph of the Dis
trict Committee said that this was
an effort to speed up the disposition
OF such cases while the other pro-
vision was expected to result in les
sening the number of fatal or seri-
GUS traffic accidents.

On $4,000 Outlay
Laid 10 Steel Man
Witness Tells Truman
Inquiry He Is Willing
To Return $4,000
BY the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated Press.
A steel company official was &C
cused yesterday before the Senate
Defense Investigating Committee of
setting up a bleeding corporation"
that made more than $4,000 profit
on a $23, 900 investment in the ham
ding of war contracts
The statement by Chairman Tru-
man brought from the witness,
Kenneth T. Burr, an announcement
that he was willing to return $33 600
to the Maritime Commission.
Mr. Burr, general manager of the
Bancroft Rolling Mills, South Port
land, Me-, testified on the handling
of steel for shipbuilding in that area.
He said he established a private
firm, the Materials Handling Co.,
at the suggestion of the Todd-Bath
Shipyards, to haul steel for mer-
chant shipbuilding. He put up 50 900
cash and borrowed $4,000 to get the
contract started.
Got $4,000 In Salaries.
Mr.. Burr testified, under ques-
tioning Of committee members, that
he charged up more than $4,000
profit on contracts with the British
government and the Maritime Com
mission, and also received a $4,000
salary in addition to the $4,000 the
Bancroft firm pays him annually.
OF the total, $4,000 profit was
made by hiring trucks at 50 an hour
to haul steel and charging $3.50, Mr..
Burr said.
That's kind of a bleeding cor
poration," Senator Truman asserted.
This money was exacted from the
United States Government.
Profit Was Unexpected.
"A lot of it was under the British
contract" Mr.. Burr protested.

Youth Needs KNOWLEDGE
To Pilot New World

II Americans Of the young gen.
Grafton are to be ready to take on
themselves world leadership, they
will need not only courage, but
knowledge, not only weapons of
force, but the powers of the spirit,
Herbert Davis, president Of Smith
College, told members Of the WASH
ington Smith College Club last night
as he pleaded for wartime con-
tinuation Of university training edu-
cation.
I'VE are being told now on all
sides that the age of modern Eu-
rope, which began in the 10th CEN
tury. is now clearly coming to an
end" he said. "And some OF our
prophets proclaim that the age of
the Americans has come In the
last $50 years new civilization has
been built up here, which must now
be ready to take on itself world
leadership.
THAT is not the task that we can
do who are DID," DR.. Davis con-
tinued, 1--WE who have been tainted
by the skepticism and the apathy
and complacency Of the period be-
tween the wars. If it can be done,
1t can only be done by that same

endurance, such triumphant skill
and pluck for that terrifying task
OF shaping a new world.

I'm war as in peace" the edu-
Gator maintained, "and for war as

Miss McAfee were Mrs. John w.

Association of Smith College.
While upper classes at Smith feel
secure in their belief they will still
have time to complete their college
life and then be useful in the emer-

lower classes that:

There must be a general alloca-

OF Mr.. Golden, "one chief obstacle
which prevents the Manpower Com

country expects it to do" His belief
was shared by representative of
management.
The employment service, the
speakers conceded, is better capable
of allocating skilled labor than are
the local boards, a suggestion that
was rejected by the committee, but

BY order OF the once of Price

The freezing order was intended
to stave OF a buyers run on the
stocks now in stores before ration
Ing takes effect and to give dealers
time to take inventory.
Six types of mems rubber boots
and rubber work shoes were ordered

q result OF increased industrial and
agricultural activity.

and women's and childrens rubber
boots will not be rationed and are
not covered in the freeze, because
they are made mostly from re-
claimed rubber.
Although these types are not be-
ing rationed. the rubber conserva-
ton program depends on the CO.

any more of these ordinary types
than urgent necessity demands, p"

When the freeze period ends

will begin. Local war price and
