Program Geared to War
Effort Planned by Hensley
President of 10Th
Street Heights Unit
Discusses Projects
By CAMBRIDGE CRIsT.

The program of the Sixteenth
Street Heights Citizens Association
will continue along offensive and
defensive" lines, Harry c. Hensley,
president of the group, said yester-
day In an interview.
The offensive part of the program,
he explained, is in the initiation of
programs that have to do with win
ming the war. Under such a head
ing come the afraid wardens and
related services, nutrition and health
programs, conservation and salvage,
and amy other worthwhile program
promulgated by the Government"
On the defensive side of the pic
ture, Mr.. Hensley said, the program
includes protecting "our investments
in homes-in anything we have
bought or built" This will include
such matters as zoning, educational
facilities, transportation and legis-
lation and the church.
Bigger Meetings Sought.
Last year each Standing Commit
tee of the association was asked to
sponsor a meeting. Moreover, an
attempt was made, Mr.. Hensley said,
to have much of the association
work shifted to committees, so that
the association membership ouuld
have more time for civilian defense
work. Fl"
I'VE have in mind this year as a
desirable program a coordination
of the organizations in the area to
reduce the number OF meetings and
make them bigger and better" Mr..
Hensley said.
Prominent on their civic program
this year is the question of bus
transportation. A special meeting
was held in September to discuss
proposed changes in the bus services
Of upper Sixteenth street NV. Mr..
Hensley has proposed to the Public
Utilities Commission the routing of
all buses originating in the Six
tenth Street Heights area via Six
teenth and Madison, down Thir-
teenth street to Pennsylvania avenue
to Twelfth street, thence to c street
S.W., to Thirteenth street S.W. and
from there to the present route of
the F-5 Bureau of Engraving loop
line.
His plan calls for substituting the
Sixteenth street express buses in
the downtown area for the Bureau
loop line. The express zone would
run from Sixteenth and Underwood
streets to Thirteenth and K or in
that vicinity. Mr.. Hensley pointed
out this would require no extension

and Anne Beers Schools have been
completed during the past summer
and are in service for the first time
1t is expected that discussion will
develop the fact as to whether sep
arate associations will be formed, or
whether two schools will unite in
| forming one association. Mrs. Alma
Hudson, first vice president of the
D. c. Congress is expected to be
present.
The following resolution has re-
Gently been adopted by the Execu-
tive Committee:
THE D. c. Congress of Parents and
Teachers reafirms its objective to
maintain the integrity of the home
and declares its belief that prema-
ture encroachment on the family
entity, until it becomes necessary
to the defense effort in the District
of Columbia, should be avoided. We
further believe that nursery schools
should be provided for pre-school
children of such families as present
an economic need, or of such par
ents as are, or will be, required to
make an essential and specific con-
tribution to defense industries.
I'VE urge that eligibility for enroll
ment in such schools be established
on basis consistent with the in
tent and purpose of this resolution.
I'VE further urge that supervision
OF and standards for care and
guidance governing nursery schools
shall be under the direction of the
Board of Education of the District
of Columbia"

she was smuggling down against HIM,
closing her eyes to 60 to sleep, her
panic apparently quoted -- though
her hand clung to his long after she
had fallen asleep.
In the morning she was her usual
gay self, going from one room to
another. pausing to pat cushion,
move a char or screen. She was
dressed for the drive in trim, navy
blue linen. Sabu had put her closed
bags with his in the car.
She went to the kitchen. Jerry
heard her talking to Sabu. Then he
saw her in the garden, picking some
OF the flowers He saw how her fingers
fingered on them.
Sabu approached him. A message
from Tuan Simpson. Please to come

cried: The devil, What's the trou-

coolies, no doubt. Simpson had
always been a fool, handling them.

over a rough road, but Jerry's frown
wasn't for that. What had Diane

At the bungalow of Number Five
he sprang out of the car, calling
loudly: "Slmpson!'
Complete stiffness answered him.
He shouted again. Then around the
corner appeared a dark, frightened
face.
