Long-Distunce Cob Trips

Bon us WustefuI'

Use of Washington's taxicabs for
pleasure riding or for long dis
tance" trips will be discouraged"
If not actually forbidden. under
orders to be issued soon by the Pub
lie Utilities Commission, Chairman
Gregory Hankin announced yester-
day.
The orders or instructions, which
are yet to be drafted, are intended
to conserve gasoline and tires. Mr.
Hankin said, and will put into ef-
feet policies agreed on at a recent
conference between taxi representa-
tives and Clewell Sykes, chief of the
taxicab section of the Division of
Local Transportation of the Office
of Defense Transportation.
Transportation by Washington
taxicabs, Mr.. Hankin announced
should be limited to the District
and its metropolitan area, and not
used for long distance trips for
which other means of transporta-
ton "are less wasteful."
The policies formulated at the
Sykes conference and adopted by
the PUG, he said, mean the cabs
are to be used for essential" trans
portation. He added: The public
is to be discouraged from using cabs
for pleasure trips and the drivers
are to be discoura ged from using
cabs for pleasure trips for them
selves or their families"
The commission spokesman said
some of such policies might not be
susceptible to hard and fast" rules
but where this is so the commission
will issue instructions that nom
essential use of taxis should be dis
couraged.
The great majority of Washington
taxis-4, 100 of them-are under ope-
ration by associations or companies
represented at the policy confer
ence, Mr.. Hankin said.

Hankin Expects
Transit Survey
Results by July
PUG Will Use Dutu
To Speed Transport
Of CopitoI Workers

BY the end of this month, the
results of the mass transportation
survey of the Public Utilities Com
mission will be tabulated and sorted,
showing where Washington workers
come from and where they go, at
what times, Gregory Hankin, PUG
chairman said today
This information, he said, would
place the commission in a position
to consider extensive revision of
bus routes to expedite transportation
movements and, if possible, make
fuller use of bus-carrying capacities.
$4,000 Cards Returned.
Mr.. Hankin announced that IT,
900 QUESTIONABLE cards had been
returned from Government depart
ments and private business estab-
liShments. in addition TO $4,000 from
persons not going to or from work
in rush hours, and some 5000 cards
which will be held for separate
treatment.
Some 100000 cards were distrib-
uted in all, but in many instances
extra cards were sent out to make
sure each place had enough for all
workers. Mr.. Hankin said he fig
ured 350,000 or 360O 900 workers
should have made out the cards.
He said he felt the survey had
elected excellent cooperation and
that high percentage of the cards
were correctly marked. This, he
said, "dispels fear that the cards
were too complicated" Results so
far, he added, have been "surpris-
ingly good"
At the same time he said some
Government divisions had not yet
returned the QUESTIONABLE forms
and he urged that this be done
Immediately and in the same con-
tainers in which they were sent to
the agencies.
Will Be Tabulated.
Some $4,000 of the cards returned
have been punched" in keeping
with the code plan. and the remain
der of the 172,000 will be given the
same treatment by the middle of this
week. The cards then will be run
through tabulating and sorting ma
chimes at various Government agen-
cies.
The technical work for the COM
mission is being directed by Carl w.
Harris, an engineer recently en-
gagged by the PUG. The commits
sion is being assisted by Capt. Fred

1000 Already Occupy
Offices in Arlington
War Building
Employees Moving at
Rote of 200 q Day;
Porkine No Problem

Within little more than a month
the War Department has moved
more than 1000 of its employees
from Offices in Washington to the
mammoth new War Building in Ar
lingtcn.
Working so unobtrusively that few
have noticed the big exodus, the de-
partment has been transferring an
average of nearly 200 employees a
day to two sections of the five-sided
structure, and 1t. Col. Clarence Rem
shaw, engineer for the Arlington dis
trict, said yesterday space for an
other 5000 workers is now available.
The entire Ordnance Department
is understood to have been trans
ferred to the building, and several
units of the Service of Supply also
are quartered there. The moving op-
erations began April 80, months
ahead of schedule.
Meanwhile, vast army of skilled
craftsmen and laborers Is rushing
work on the uncompleted sections of
what is called the largest Office build
ing in the world. Construction is
running ahead of schedule and the
whole project. including an elaborate
network of new roadwayS, is expected
to be completed by November.
The parking problem is proving
no headache for occupants of the
new building. Some 5000 parking
spaces already have been provided
in the area in front of Section A,
and even in this day of gasoline
and tire rationing few of the spaces
go begging, with 1000 department
employees and about 10000 con-
struction workers coming to the
building each day.
Col. Renshaw said he had found
there is usually one car there for
every seven War Department work.
ers, and one for every three work.
ers employed on construction of
the building.
Eventually, 1000 parking spaces
will be provided in the area in
front of Section A. and another
1000 opposite Section D.
