Pedestrians ticketed for careless

two choices. They may pay a 81
fine or appear in traffic court for
safety lectures as was hitherto
required.
The 81 payment plan was insti-
tuted because violators of the

Payments may be made in per-

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 26.-Vir-

stores will reopen for business at
10 am. Monday, and their stocks,
badly depleted by the Christmas
buying rush, are due to be re-
plenished during the day by ship
ments from storage warehouses
here.
Workmen at the warehouses la
bored today at the task of loading
trucks for shipment, as well as
unloading carloads of liquor which
arrived from distillers.
Unless consumers create a buy
ing and boarding rush because of
the announced plan for stricter
rationing. the ABC system has am
pie supplies on hand to meet nor
NAL demands, an official said today.
All ABC stores were closed for
the holidays, and an ABC official
said that plans for the proposed
rationing had not been completed.
Officials said that Virginia's liquor
supplies for the first three months
of 1943 will amount to only about
so per cent of those for the same
period last year. The distillers,
all of whom are now making in
dustrial alcohol for war uses, have
slashed their deliveries to conserve

WLB Ruling Will Bar Ore
Shipment, Steel Firm SAYS
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
The Inland Steel Co. contended
yesterday that recommendations of
mediation panel of the War Labor
Board would interfere with the ship
ment of ore on the Great Lakes.
Preliminary to board hearing on
a contract dispute with the National
Maritime Union, the company issued
a statement describing as "revolu-
tionary" recommendations relating
to preferential uion employment,
overtime pay, unrestricted passes
for union agents, and abolition of
continuous service bonuses.
The case involves four bulk
freighters used by Inland to carry
iron ore from the head of the Great
Lakes to its mill at Indiana Har-
Dor.
"The panels recommendation
with respect to hiring, overtime,
bonuses and passes will interfere
with vessel operation at the most
crucial period in the history of lake
transportation and introduce an ele-
ment of doubt as to whether the
present level of performance In the
transportation of iron ore can be
maintained. This means that the
1943 ore program will be threat
ened." the statement said.

dation Of a general wage increase

Five Children Die in Two
New England Fires
BY the Associated Press.

BOSTON, Dec. 26.-Five children
perished tonight in two separate
residential fires in New England, a
boy and a girl in Eaton, Me-, and
three sisters in Everett, Mass.
Muriel Melanson, II, and William
Ryder, 4, died in the Maine blaze,
and Ralph Ryder, 40, Williams
father, was burned gravely in an
attempt to rescue them from ex-
plosion spread flames. Medical
Examiner Rex Crocker said the
children evidently had tried to start
q fire in the kitchen stove.
The mother of the three sisters,
Mrs. James M. Sullivan, had to be
restrained forcibly from entering
the burning dwelling after the chill
dren were trapped in a third-h floor
bedroom. Smoke felled a police

house.
Origin of the blaze, which reached
the only stairway leading from the
third floor, was undetermined. The
victims were Patricia, 10; Joan, 8,

owl Warns Against Dropping
information Scraps for Spies

The Axis Is using q system of "bits
and pieces espionage in the United
States, the Once Of War Informa-
ton reported yesterday in warning
Americans that even the most trivial
scrap Of information may aid the
enemy.
The owl said that Axis agents
gather thousands of small items of
careless gossip, fit these items to-
gether into q mosaic which some
times clearly points ito an unmis-
taxable line Of military action"
at already has been employed
with telling effect against Allied
lives and material" the owl said.
Axis agents are busy gathering
small items - which individually
sound perfectly innocent--and pass
ing them along to enemy espionage
headquarters where they are in
dexed, sifted, checked and woven
into q readable pattern.
"The only safety lies in resisting
the impulse to gossip about work,
about relatives in uniform and any
matter Of military security" the
owl warns. Giving simple rules
for caution, the statement said:
IF you hear it from someone
don't repeat it. If you see it your
self-keep 1t to yourself. But If you
read it in a reputable publication
or hear 1t on the radio you can pass
it on. Stop and think before you
talk. because careless talk costs
lives"
Giving fictitious example of the
way in which the "bits and pieces
espionage method is employed, the
Owl said:
I'm Los Angeles, a stenograr cher
tells her girl friend: My brother is
going across next Tuesday-he's a

Police 1t. Louis Vollmer said
1t. Vollmer said the father,

Important District
Measures Passed
By 77th Congress
Most Legislation in
Number of Years
Approved at Session

The Seventy-seventh Congress
enacted more legislation for the
District and for civil service en-
ployes than any Congress in a num-
Der of years, a check revealed yes
terday.
The House District Committee
considered 206 bills, 98- of which
were reported favorably. OF these,
81 were passed, including several not
yet signed by the President. Three
bills were vetoed, two were recon-
mitted, and two failed of passage.
Among the most important Dis
trict measures that became law
were the school nurseries measure,
the blackout bill, rent control, avia-
tion education in the high schools,
recreation and accident prevention
boards and off-street parking.
The new record for District legis-.
lation, it is believed, is due to the
policy of House Majority Leader
Mccormack, who permitted District
legislation to be called up any time
instead of waiting for either of the
two special District days each
month.
Capitol Hill observers also pointed
out that cooperation of Chairman
Randolph and the ranking Repub-
lican member, Representative Dirk
sen of Illinois. with the assistance
of an unusually interested District
Committee, won the confidence of
the House so that important District
measures were enacted without
lengthy debate.
Chairman Randolph estimated
yesterday that the Congress which
has just adjourned put through
about four times as many public
laws as the Seventy-sixth Congress.
It's record is far in excess of the
World War Congress.
