Morgenthau Affirms Faith
In Voluntary Bond Buying
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau regards the voluntary pur-
chase of War bonds as an essential
national need until the war is
won."
He said in statement last night:
"The mounting requirements of
the war demand that our sale of
War bonds be continued and inten-
sif1ed. The voluntary War bond
program has produced and will
continue to produce a great contri-
button to the Nations war effort"
Mr.. Morgenthau, noting that "the
impression seems to have spread
that I regard the voluntary War
bond program as a failure" said,
This is not only a distortion of
anything have said on the subject,
but it is also an injustice to the
hundreds of thousands of devoted
volunteers in all parts of the coun-
try who are working night and day
to enlist the Nations savings for
the war"
He mentioned again the need for
heavy taxation to supplement war
financing.

Group Protests
Bus Line Curb
Mass Meeting Held
In Fight to Sove
Alaska Ave. Service

Unanimous opposition to the pro-
posed elimination of bus service on
Alaska avenue between Sixteenth
street and Georgia avenue was voiced
in a resolution adopted last night
at mass meeting sponsored by the
Allied Civic Group of Silver Spring.
The measure asserts that street car
service proposed as a substitute for
the bus line Is not a comparable
service; that the conservation Of
transportation facilities will be In
sufficient to justify the inconvenience
and loss of time which would be
imposed on Silver Spring residents,
and the aim Of saving fuel and bus
equipment can be accomplished In q
more feasible manner without det-
rimental effect upon "this or other
residential areas now served by the
Sixteenth street line"
Copies of the resolution, which
also asks that a hearing scheduled
for Tuesday be deferred for further
study of the problem, will be sent to
the Office Of Defense Transportation,
the Public Utilities Commission Of
the District and to the Capital Tran
sit Co.

"as far too drastic"
The idea, he said, did not originals
with the transit company, which
will oppose it at the hearing of the
PUG. The company believes the pro-
posed change would inconvenience
too many people and unduly burden
them by providing them only street.
car service. The PUC's objective
can be attained in other ways, he
added.
Mr.. Locke emphasized, however,
that the transit company recognizes
tnat everything possible must be
cone to conserve rubber and fuel.
Wherever it is feasible, we plan
to transfer bus patrons to street.

Sees Rides Rationed.
He warned that because OF the
war situation, the time may come
When we will have to ration rides
