from work together instead of each
using his own vehicle.
Further staggering of hours of
work for Government and private
employees was urged by Mr.. Van
Duzer. The traffic director said his
office is collecting new data on where
people are working and their hours.
He said this was necessary because
there have been so many recent
changes in the Office locations for
the personnel of many Government
divisions. The Board of Trade is
assembling new data as to private
employment
Engineer Commissioner KutZ sug-
gested that because of the changes
in office locations of Federal workers
and the fact that employees of one
department may be scattered in diff
ferent locations, it might be wise to
stagger working hours by buildings
or groups of buildings, rather than
by departments or agencies.

Cooperative Program
Sought to Conserve
Tires, Cos and Autos

President Roosevelt has called
on all Federal departments and
agencies to work out co-opera-
tive transportation programs by
which their employees may con-
serve tires, gasoline and auto
mobiles.
The Presidents request was con-
tanned in a letter under date of
yesterday which has been sent out
to heads of all the affected estab-
liShments.
Citing the acute transportation
problem in Washington, the Chief
Executive proposed arrangements
by which the number of automobiles
in daily use would be reduced and
asked that a report on effectiveness
of such efforts be made to him 30
days hence.
Presidents Letter.
The Presidents letter follows.
With the shortage of rubber and
the prospective necessity for cur
falling the civilian consumption of
gasoline, the transportation prob
lem for workers in many communi-
ties Is rapidly becoming critical. 1t
is imperative that We extend as long
as possible that period of time in
which we can count on private
transportation Of factory and office
workers to their places of work and
home again.
Ihe transportation problem in
washington is no exception to that
existing in very many of our COM
munities at present. I am therefore
calling upon the heads of the sew
eral Federal departments and agen-
cies to work out program for their
employees which will substantially
reduce the number of automobiles
which are necessary to take men
and women to and from their
places of work. This program
should be undertaken immediately
and thoroughly.
Ships Already Taken.
"A few Federal agencies have
already taken steps in this direction
and an interchange of ideas and
experiences should facilitate the
development of the most effective
program. I would like to have a
report from each department and
agency at the end of 30 days re-
lating the effectiveness Of steps
hi 81
II am also sending a copy of this
letter to the Counsel of State Gov
ernments, the American Municipal
Association and the United States
Conference of Mayors, asking that
they use their influence to bring
about the Inauguration of similar
programs in the State and local
governments
1t was believed each department
or agency head would work out in
dividually the plan as it applies to
his agency.
District officials. who already have
been making plans for better use OF
public and private transportation
facilities, regarded the President s
proposal as extremely helpful

tat many young colored men were

Secretary Stimson wrote that the
War department is now limiting
both white and Negro air cadet ap-
licants to one years supply and that
all above this number would be
subject to Selective Service. He
pointed out, also, that Negroes are
now being accepted and trained in
the field artillery as liaison pilots,
for duty with Negro field artillery
units, observing and spotting field
gunfire. These men will fly small
unarmored and unarmed planes
with a speed of about 80 miles per
hour.
Although the NAACP letter ask
ed for the training of Negroes as
bomber pilots on multi-engined air
craft, as bombardiers, and navigaL-
ors, no reference to this type Of
training was made by Secretary
Stimson in his reply. SO far as is
known, Negroes at present are be-
