ALEXANDRIA, Va. July g.
Authority to remove unlawfully
parked automobiles was given
the Police Department, which
heretofore could only ticket
cars, when the City Council
last night approved a new ordi-
nance recommended by the
Traffic Board.
Until now, police could not
move cars even though they
were parked at fire plugs, in
front of driveways or at other
improper localities. -
The new ordinance permits
them to tow away the cars and
to assess their owners with the
costs OF removal and storage.

Fairfax May Use
School Buses
For Workers
Officials Study PIon
For Having Service
During OFF Hours
Special Dispatch to The Star.

FAIRFAX, Va. July 8,-A pro-
posal to use county school buses to
haul other passengers when the
buses are not being used for school
purposes was discussed yesterday by
Fairfax County school officials and
representatives of the Washington,
Maryland and Virginia Coach Co.
1t was pointed out that if school
buses were used to transport passen-
gers to regularly established public
bus routes, relief would be afforded
q large number of workers who must
use their own cars in committing
and who are affected by the Short
age of tires and gasoline.
Would Be Non-Profit.
Supt. w. T. Woodson emphasized
that should the plan be worked out
1t would be non-profit public service.
Details regarding fares and other
phases Of the proposed arrangement
have not been worked out, Supt.
Woodson said.
A large portion of the county is
not served by any public transporta-
ton system, but practically all of it
is covered by school buses.
It was stated that the system
would not interfere with the schools,
although some readjustment might
have to be made in school hours in
order to insure that buses would be
available In the early morning hours
for workers.
No Difficulty on Gas Seen.
The buses would be operated by
regular county drivers and would
be supervised by school officials. Be-
cause the proposal is entirely in the
interest of war work, it was not ex-
pected any difficulty would be en-
countered in getting gasoline and
tires.
The board reorganized for the
fiscal year with the reelection of
r. w. Robinson of Herndon, chair
man, and Mrs. Mildred L., Finks,
trustee from Mount Vernon district,
vice chairman. j. B. Armfield, jr.,
was reelected clerk of the board.
A report on bus transportation of
school children for the past session
showed IA per cent, or 5,777 children,
were carried by bus to the different
schools.

came over me with a new thrill Sum-
day night as we stood at the en-
trance to the National Art Gallery
my husband, John; Dutchie, our
Seeing Eye dog; our sailor escort,
Frank Walton, and myself.
It had all happened so quickly,
this chance to go to concert down
town. I dabbed a bit of powder on
my nose, not too careful about wee
bit of lipstick, grabbed q coat. John
harnessed Dutchie, got coat and
Strengthened his tie bit. All the
time he was trying to think who this
nice Seaman Walton might be, who
had just telephoned us and asked
us to 60 to the concert.
"Oh, yes" John sort of whispered
to me in the cab. do you remem-
Der my telling you of man who
walked home from the office with
me one day? He was so interested
in seeing Dutchie taking me just
where we roomed."

we're actually there. We had to wait.

Can we leave Dutchie some

we never leave her anywhere.
Dutchie likes music too. And finally
she was given permission by Sergt.

I listened, fascinated, to the play
of fountain as I walked with the
others, accompanied by Sergt. Wade,
down to the "other end of the long
hall to see the two busts just placed
here"
I'D like to touch them" I would
say that. But I wanted to see them.

grand men look like now, and the
busts are not harmed in spite of
our knowing
We hurried toward the sound Of
music now. For the concert had
begun. Such a fine concert by

missions.

around the fountain in the center

palms and potted trees"
do most of the women wear
hats?" I was q bit worried. I did
not wear one.
NO said Mr.. Walton. "All the
women do not have hats. And
they're dressed in summer colors.
There's a fascinating young lady
just to our left wearing a black
dress. She has a nice smile and
seems to like music. A lady down in
front is wearing very pale blue"

because of the growing offensive at

Resistance on the Stalingrad front
was stiffer, it was said, because
as the battle developed over a pro-

could be concentrated, and, hence,
was more effective. The situation
