original condition after the war.
Coincident with the disclosure of
the plan to lease unoccupied space
in commercial buildings, Milton
Fischer, acting regional representa-
tive of the MIA, announced that
steps had been taken to Y5eralize
the program for conversion of pri-
vate homes into multiple dwelling
units.
Would Raise Cost Limit.
One OF these is the lifting of the
S4O0 per room cost on conversion
and the establishment of an over
all unit cost with a limitation of
$2,500 on each unit. Another would
permit the owner to live on his
property and pay rent to the Gov
ernment until expiration of the
Government lease.
Other features of the liberaliza-
ton program will permit the Gov
eminent to pay commission 70

ance to the owners that the con-

Christmas Express
Shipments Hit New
Peak in Capital
Reveal 21.5 Per Cent
Guin Over Lost Year
In 17-Doy Period
By EDWARD C. STONE.

In the first II days of December
Railway Express Agency shipments
in and out of Washington piled up
21.5 per cent increase over the
like period a year ago. adding an
other new all-time record to the
long 1912 list and indicating the
heaviest Christmas business ever ex-
perienced in the Capital, Supt. w.
o. r. Hannah announced today.
Shipments through that date in
December this year numbered IT.
1872, in comparison with 145,899 in
the corresponding II days last year,
an upswing of 31,433 packages, the
report disclosed.
The sharp increase in business
over any other year was mainly due
to the biggest Christmas trade on
record and to the war boom pre-
vailing in the Capital for many
months, Mr.. Hannah stated.
Collection of tires for sale to the
Government, which was conducted
by the express company. ended on
December II. The great majority of
these pickups, however, were made
in November and were no great fac
tor in early December business.
Railway Express has opened 13
special agencies in the District and
Arlington and is ready for the peak
Christmas rush due this week, Mr..
Hannah added

Advance Al to IS Miles.
Since the start of this third
winter offensive, the Red Army
has advanced from At to rs miles
In various sectors. Yesterday alone
the Red Army moved forward be-
tween 16 and 10 miles.
With the bitter Russian cold now
on them, the Germans were being
battered in three separate areas
northwest and southwest of Stalin-
grad, in the Rzhev-Velikie Luki re-
,gion of the central front and on the
middle Don.
:, The Nazi troops still fought on,
however, in Statlingrad, the Volga
citadel which Hitler long since had
promised to take. The midnight
Soviet communique reported that
small Russian units destroyed a
number of German Notifications
while artillery fire knocked out
seven enemy blockhouses, and a
number of trucks. A company of
.Nazi infantry was reported an
pihilated.
Artillery exchanges also were re-
ported from the area northwest of
Stalingrad and Russian troops were
said to have wiped out a battalion
Of German infantry in breaking
into an inhabited locality.
:, The Germans were most aggressive
In the region southwest of Stalin-
grad, where they were reported bat
tering viciously but unsuccessfully at
the Russian lines. Near collective
farm in that area, the midnight
communique reported, the Germans
launched eight counterattacks, but
finally were forced to retreat, leav-
ing 1,500 dead on the field of battle.
40 Tanks Are Destroyed.
Twenty-four German tanks were
said to have been destroyed here
and Is more in neighboring sector.
On the central front, the heaviest
fighting apparently was on the
snow-covered plain west of Rzhev,
where one Soviet unit was reported
to have killed TOO Germans and de-
stroyed 18 tanks.
Near Velikie Luki another unit
wiped out one company of German
infantry and destroyed three Ger
man tanks, the communique re-
ported. (The German news agency
admitted yesterday that the Rus
SLAMS had broken into Velikie Luki,
only 80 miles from the Latvian bor-
der, but declared the Soviet forces
had been driven out againD
Nine German divisions were re-
ported routed in the middle Don
offensive and Red Star reported
that the pace of the retreat in some
sectors was so fast that I'VE can
pursue them only in our automo-
biles."

out of gas, and at the American
Autmobile Association it was said
Ihat the Sunday emergency calls
were no more than usual.
The lifting of the ban on sales
made it unnecessary for the Capital
transit co. to make wholesale
changes in bus routes planned to
meet the emergency, but school off,
clals went through with the pro-
gram to be followed for the re-
malnder of the pre-holiday system
that is, starting classes at 10 am.
and closing at $50.
The reduction of the B and C.
cards from 4 to 3 gallons will save
about 25,000 barrels of gasoline a
day, according to Price Administra-
tor Henderson. That a further cut
was not made in the A cards came
as surprise to observers, who had
believed that it was entirely possible
that the new restriction plan would
call for suspension of the A cards.
Economic Director James F.
Byrnes arranged to canvass the
whole situation, as 1t affects fuel oil
as we'll as gasoline, at a meeting to-
day with Mr.. Henderson, Petroleum
Administrator Ickes and Transporta-
ton Director Joseph B. Eastman.
Chairman Donald M. Nelson OF
the War Production Board warned
meanwhile, that in the future "the
mobility of consumers will be greatly
restricted, both of necessity and by
consumer choice"
Travel by automobile is due for
restriction much more drastic than
that obtaining today" Mr.. Nelson
said in letter to Chairman Muir
ray, Democrat. of Montana of the
Senate Small Business Committee.
Travel by common carrier will be
increasingly inconvenient and in
some instances not permissible, e." the
WPB chief told Senator Murray
adding that it was conceivable
that military necessity might re-
quire the restriction of travel and
freight movement in some areas.
Prior to OPA's Saturday night an.
nouncement that motor fuel sales
could resume, bus and trolley All
thorities in many communities had
made elaborate plans to handle the
Monday swarm of workers and
Christmas shoppers, augmented by
crowds that ordinarily would drive
at least part way to work.
