commodate $4,000 women and 33.-
900 900 to take care of 1000 family
dwelling units, in addition to ST.
500,00 for the necessary installa-
tions to serve the tenants.
Sites for six Of the eight develop
ments have been determined. One
will be in the Suitland area. one in
West Potomac Park, one in East Po-
tomac Park and two in the armory
area in the Northeast section of the
city. Sites for two proposed projects
in the Union Station area have not
been definitely settled.

to use minimum of critical mate
rials. the project will be- simple in
design and stripped down to bare
necessities" the FWA announcement
said.
Other Facilities Planned.
TN addition to sewer and water
lines connecting with existing mains,
there will be an administration
building, a central laundry to serve
all dormitories in this area, mainte-
nance shop and garages for service

A Government woman workers
determination to wear sign affixed
to her back in her Office at the Board
of Economic Warfare has. at least
temporarily, cost her her job.
The boards personnel Office says
that Mrs. Christine Hawthorn. a.
Is not fired and that she can come
back to work whenever she removes
the sign which says Christ Came
to Save Sinners"
But Mrs. Hawthorn. who is Pen
tecostal follower, says that she will
not work in an Office that rejects
the name of Christ and won't allow
it in the building"
The board has given her annual
leave in which to think over wheth-
er she will continue working there
without the sign or whether she
will persist in wearing it. The board
claimed the sign is "demoralizing"
to the Office.
Shocked at Profanity.
Mrs. Hawthorn said she was
shocked at the profanity used by
her fellow employees at the BEW.
where she works as junior clerk.
She sought to reform the language
by hanging the sign on the wall
where all offenders could see and
take heed.
Her boss told her to take it down,
she said. She did so under protest
saying, IF they can use the name
of the Lord in vain. why shouldn't
l use it as I want to. in respect?"
So Mrs. Hawthorn now wears the
sign on her back, suspended picket
like, and fastened by two over sized
paper clips. She wore it in the Of
fice despite the orders of the per-
sonnel department and the warn
ings Of her boss that she must take
it OF.
Willing 10 Take Her Back.
Mrs. Hawthorn said Mrs. Helen
Brooks, chief of employe relations,

presented by Arlington County
omcials at conference yesterday

merce was represented by Howard

Objects 10 "Discriminat ton"
Mr.. Campbell said Arlington ia
willing to make any necessary sac
riflce to conserve tires, fuel and
transportation equipment, but that
1t did not want to be singled out by
discriminatory tactics. He said
Arlington residents resented the fact
that the county was not consulted
in the preparation of the report by
District Trafic Director William A.
Van Duzer on a plan which would
AFFECT an estimated $4,000 Virginia
passengers daily.
A system which would require pas
sengers to transfer to Capital Tran
sit Co. streetcars at Rosslyn plaza
Is analogous to requiring all bus
passengers from Chevy Chase to
transfer to streetcars at Eighteenth
street and Columbia road NV, Mr..
Campbell asserted.
Mr.. Dieter said figures would be
obtained which would show the Cap-
ltal Transit Co. Is unable to carry
the extra passengers thrown on the
system under the plan.
Sees Saving Of Material.
| Mr.. Magruder said that critical
materials would be saved If Virginia
bus lines were allowed to continue
trips to downtown Washington and
also allowed to carry passengers be-
tween the Arlington War Depart
ment building and Washington dur
ing rush hours. The Capital Tran
sit Co. now maintains a shuttle bus
service for War Department pas
sengers.
Mr.. Usilton charged the Van Duser
report was an effort to benefit the
Capital Transit Co. at the expense
OF other transit firms and com.
muters.
Mr.. Richardson said ODT will act
soon II the Jurisdictions involved
cannot reach some equitable plan to
conserve fuel and equipment.

Applications Filed
in December for Defense
Employment

Hartford, Conn.,, Jan. 19-Applica-
lions for work in war industries
have climbed steadily since the dec
laration of war, Leonard J. Maloney,
director of the U. S. Employment
Service in Connecticut, stated to-
day, with more than $1,000 applica-
tons during the month Of December,
a gain of more than $500 over the
previous month.
This sudden rush of job applica-
lions is due not alone to priorities
unemployment" Mr.. Maloney said,
but in large measure comes from
a very widespread and sincere
belief by many people that they
want to be performing useful, pro-
ductive war work" Mr.. Maloney
said this was borne out by the fact
that 9,268 applications were made
during December by people who
had never before registered with
the U. S. employment service, an
increase of nearly 900 over normal
registration. Many of these appli-
cants have not been in the labor
market, have retired, or have been
operating small businesses, he said.
but now feel they want TO- be doing
their part in producing war goods,
Job placements during December
showed jump of more than 1870
over the previous month with a
total Of 1886 jobs filled. of which
1880 were men and 1926 women.
Hartford showed the greatest
number of placements with 1850
followed by Bridgeport with 1,277
New Haven 1892, Waterbury 1926
and New London $50.

DEDUCTIONS FOR

Exception Noted in Labor
Departments Ruling on
Payroll SubstractiOns

Hartford, Conn.,, Jan. 19.-Exist-
ing Wage Board orders against pay
roll deductions have no application
In the case of employees purchasing
Defense Bonds, State Labor Com
missioner of Labor Cornelius j..
Danaher said today and employers
are free to make such deductions
from the wages Of employees pur-
chasing bonds so long as they make
suitable notations on the records.
Mr.. Danaher's statement came as
result Of inquiries about the La
Dor Department regulations which
ordinarily forbid payroll deductions
from wages for all except social Sc
curity taxes, disqualification and
similar causes. Clearly payroll de-
auctions for Defense Bonds are Of
such a nature that 1t does not come
within the prohibition against pay
roll deductions. Not only do we &C
quiesce to the practice, we approve
heartily, and urge employees to use
this method Of buying bonds on the
inStallment plan"

from five TO ten billion dollars. A
worthwhile flip to civilian morale
would re the parallel passage of leg
islation reducing our non-defense
expenditures at the same time that
we are asked to foot the greatest tax
bill in our history"
Shortages Will Grow
Demands of war have already
caused shortages which are only q
prelude to others that will become
increasingly apparent as our re-
serves are depleted, the credit head
says.
1.-THE restrictions on electrical ap-
planes, automobile tires and other
rubber goods, and motor cars are al
ready being recognize. as very tang
ible tokens of what lies ahead.
I'm the main, the consumers most
vital needs are not yet affected.
Food, clothing, fuel, and transporta-
ton he has in ample quantities and
will continue to have. 1t is, of course,
true that the consumer may soon,
for instance, find certain spices un-
obtainable and that later ocean
shipping problems and a lack of car
go space may bring shortages in
certain tropical fruits, coffee, and
other items. Bvt these are relative
ly remote at present.
Consumer Effects
"In his wearing apparel the con-
sumner will note the effect of the
rubber scarcity and, increasingly,
silk will be less noticeable. Wool, too,
will be scarcer because of the vastly
increased needs of our armed forces.
"The fuel supply for the consum-
er's home heating Is not threatened
from the standpoint of production
but transportation problems may
bring temporary shortages at Ger
tain points. AS to the consumers
personal transportation require
ments, they will be more dependent
on BUSES and reil lines. Increas-
ingly infrequent will be the con-
sumer's of the car to run into
town for work or shopping or en-
tertainment."

US. Shifts From Peace
ToWar-1imeE Economy
Meaning of Want Likely to Become Reality in Near
Future Warns Executive Mgr of Natl Credit Men

From Gums and Butter" to
"Guns"-wth butter If, as, and
when. That sums up the U. s. tran
sition from q peacetime to a war
time economy, Henry H. Hermann,
Executive Manager of the National
Association OF Credit Men, declares
In the Associations January Review
OF Business release. yesterday.
I'm TIE Thirties we heard much
about want in a land of potential
plenty" he says. an the Forties we
shall realize the meaning of want
in a land that Is breakingf produc-
ton records!"
Pointing out that it has quickly
become apparent that we cannot be
the arsenal of democracy" without
sacrifices on the home front, Mr..
Hermann states that we must expect
o conversion Of SO per cent of our
productive capacity to war needs
and must pay increasingly higher
taxes to meet the so billion dollar
war effort.
That means belt-tightening," the
credit executive warns. Let us,
however, recognize that with cur
rent national income of 100 billion
dollars, our SO billion dollar war eff
fort will still leave available an equal
amount In goods and services.
Although the price level mas
risen since 1928 and therefore
makes close comparison difficult,
nevertheless we should bear in mind
that during those two years our to-
tai income was down to the 40 bill
lion dollar level. On the other hand,
the wide variety of goods and SER
vices available during that period Of
depressed national income was
greater than that which we will
have in the period ahead"
While the pinch brought on by the
defense effort will be felt by indus
try and consumers, Mr.. Helmann
points out that "the government too
will note the effect of these neces-
sarily stringent policies. To cite one
example, the restrictions on autos
and automobile tires will mean a
considerable reduction in the rev.
enueS received by the federal and
state governments.
Reduced Auto Tax Revenues
I'm the year 1910, the federal gov
eminent received approximately 400
million dollars in motor vehicle, tire,
gas, and oil excise taxes. In that
same year, the states collected over
one and third billion dollars in
various sales taxes and registration
fees. AS The use of cars decreases
and as Car ownership decline, This
will mean noticeable reduction in.
the tax revenue from these sources.
Here Is another instance of the
wisdom of Immediately effecting
reduction in federal non defense ex-
pendtures and in state and local
governmental costs. A number of re-
sponsible organizations have an
alyzed our federal spending and have
separately reported possible savings
around two billion dollars annual
ly.
In war budget calculated at so
billion dollars that sum may seem
small, but the principle is right and
the amount involved Is nevertheless
vast.

slider a new tax bill estimated at
