Filling Stations Receive
New SUPPLIES Of Gas

The problem of Washington mo-
torists eased off considerably today
with new gasoline supplies pouring
into filling stations and additional
rationing sub-stations established to
handle the demand for tires and
gas cards.
The To-day supply of motor fuel,
allotted to stations on the basis Of
so per cent Of former requirements,
went to most gas dispensers yes
terday and there were indications
that an increasing number of station
operators would take steps to see
that some gas is left when the
period nearS an end.
Heavy sales volume early in the
last Today period in May left many
motorists without gas over the Me-
mortal Day week end.
Persons in close touch with the
gas situation, however. reported that
more stations are putting into oper-
alton an individual budget plan un-
der which they will sell only one
tenth of their supply on any one day.

DC. Seeks Answer
On Army Plans 10 Give
Up Office Space
War Department Still
Occupies so Pct. Of
Municipal Center

The Commissioners are pushing
the Federal Works Agency for an
answer on how much longer the
War Department plans TO occupy
large section of the Municipal Gen.
ter Building.
When the units of the department
moved in on completion of the new
structure, it was understood at the
District Building they would move
out by November, 1941, or as soon
thereafter as the new War Building
was completed in Arlington, Va.
A month ago the city heads wrote
to the F. w. A., through Auditor
ton of the situation and suggesting
that If continued occupancy is
planned for Federal purposes, some
equitable basis or rent payment be
worked out. As yet there has been
no reply and the Commissioners
yesterday asked Secretary Geoffrey
M. Tornett to follow up the matter
and try to obtain an answer.
The Federal Government, through
F. w. A., which is its space procure
ment agency, has occupied more
than so per cent of the Municipal
Center and pays certain small
maintenance charges. Commits
sioner John Russell Young said he
had heard rumors that the War
Department units would move out
shortly.

Drill tested youngsters OF the
Truesdell School went through their
afraid protection routines like
veterans today despite the fact that
their only warning of the AFRAID
test was the distant whine of sirens.
First-graders playing games perked
up their ears as they heard the wall
of the warning system, but returned
to their fun when admonished by
the teacher to await the school
horn. The honk of this instrument
followed few minutes later, as the
message of the sirens was relayed to
Principal Ruth Webb by those who
heard them.
Mrs. Webb was in her office await
ing the warning signal that never
came over her telephone, At 1914
am. a call had announced the alert.
That was all.
AS she waited for the signal in her
ofIlce Q Mrs. Webb described the
preparations that had been taken.
Practice drills had been held at
every time of the school day except
just after pupils have left school.

.C:urrdn Urges
Abolition Of
Inquest System
Prefers Medical
Examiner to
Present Coroner

Abolition of the coroner's inquest
and establishment of the medical
examiner system was urged today by
United States Attorney Edward M.
Curran as q mere scientific approach
to the detection of crime.
Testifying before q Senate sub
committee considering the proposed
change, Mr.. Curran emphasized he
has received the fullest cooperation
from the present coroner, DR.. A
Nagruder Macdonald, and was sup
porting the bill solely because he
believes the new system would be
better.
Supt. of Police Edward ]. Kelly,
unable to attend because of the
practice AFRAID alarm, sent word
he also favors the change.
Urges Trained Staff.
Senator Burton, Republican, of
Ohio announced he inspected the
Morgue and found the building clean
and in good condition, in need only
of more complete equipment.
Mr.. Curran said the report of q
medical examiner, with stan
trained in the study of poisons, gun
shot wounds and the scientific anal
ysis of all material clues, would be
more helpful to him in prosecuting
crime than the verdict Of six laymen
who sit as a coroner's jury.
The district attorney also declared
that the preliminary coroner's in
quest often exposes the Govern
ment's case far in advance of the
trial. He added that If the coroners
jury relesaes a suspect the district
attorney may hold him for the grand
jury and if the coroner's verdict
holds the prisoner his office may de-
eide there is no case.
The Burton subcommittee will re-
sumo consideration Of the medical
examiner bill at 10 am. Friday.
