Sightseeing Bus Ban
To Cost 100 Jobs on
Washington Lines
Companies Hope to
Use Vehicles in
Some Defense Work

The ONCE OF Defense Transports
ton order banning the use OF buses
for sightseeing tours and imposing
rigid restrictions on the chartering
of special buses will throw nearly
100 persons out of work in Washing
ton unless some essential war use
can be found for the IS or more
sightseeing buses in operation here,
a checkup disclosed today.
William L. Bush, president Of the
Gray Lines, Inc. which operates a
feet of 80 sightseeing buses, said
some 10 employees would lose their
jobs after June !, effective date OF
the order, unless something turns
up to keep us in business"
An official of another firm, the
Green Line, which operates three
buses. said eight Of his workers
would have TO be dismissed Several
other sightseeing buses in use here
also will be affected by the order.
Affects Other Cities.
Mr.. Bush estimated that some
2.500 workers employed by other
firms in the Gray Line Association,
cipal cities throughout the country,
also would be forced out of work.
He said efforts are being made to
obtain defense work.
But we've got war to win, and
that's more important than any,
thing else" he said
Sightseeing firms which use
limousines will not be affected. The
order prescribes that any rubber
tired vehicle having seating ca
pacity of 10 or more may not be
used to carry passengers "for the
primary purpose OF sightseeing" or
for charter by any persons except
those specifically exempted.
Exempt from the charter bus or
der are those used for transporting
members of the armed forces, per-
sons participating in organized
| recreational activies at military
posts. selectees travelling to or from
induction or examining points, stu
dents, teachers and school employees
going to and from school; employees
going to and from work, persons
going to and from places of religious
worship, civilians moving under
evacuation orders and children un-
der Is attending summer camps.
Joseph B. Eastmen, o. D. T. di-
rector, estimated the order would
save more than 100000 pounds of
crude rubber a year. He added
that sightseeing and charter buses
travelled 21.o00. 900 miles last year
and used up $4,000 pounds Of crude
rubber.
Gas Sales on Increase.
As the rationing program neared
the end of its first week, Washington
gasoline dealers reported sales have
increased daily since the slump ex-
perienced over the last week end.
At the same time. Harry R. VAIN
wright of the Retail Gasoline Deal
ers' Association reported that auto
mobile repair work had fallen of
about 10 per cent since last week,
but he attributed the decline to the
slump in gasoline sales Immediately
after rationing started. He said
dealers believed repair business
would pick up as gasoline sales
increased.
Whitney Leary, District o. p A.
agent, said motorists seeking sup
Elemental gasoline rations now are
beginning to patronize their COM
munity ration boards to a much
greater degree, thus easing the pres
