Survey Shows Navy
Parking Plot Less
Than 20% Occupied
But High officioI' Says
Ii Won't Be Returned
For Recreation Use

At 10:45 am. today a reporter
counted only 245 automobiles on the
1,303-car white elephant" Navy
parking lot in Potomac Park-de-
spite the fact that a high Navy
omcial declared late yesterday that
his department will not relnquish
any portion of the huge area.
This Navy stand partially thwarted
the announced plan of Public Build
ings Commissioner William E. Reyn-
olds, who wants to rip up the asphalt
so that this material. of which there
is a critical shortage, may be used
in road building, and the parking
lot land returned to recreation use.
The Army parking lot. adjacent
and equal to that Of the Navy, also
figures in Mr.. Reynolds project. Not
a single auto stood on the Army
acres at midmorning today-but Mr..
Reynolds ONCE reported it had re-
cetved no formal Army release Of
the space.
SuIlACIHK NOSt llC,VVOs
The parking surfaces together
cost about $115, 900, according to a
Navy spokesman. They never have
been used much. Before they were
built on the old Polo Field, six
months ago, the land was used for
10 softball diamonds.
Some of the few cars now using
the Navy lot are owned by War De-
partment employees. all or most of
whom soon will be transferred to
the new War Department Building
across the river, and their spaces on
the Polo Field lot will be left un-
occupied.
Commissioner Reynolds himself
could not be reached, but publicity
man quoted him as refusing to issue
the Navy communication or even to
identify the official who wrote 1t.
His spokesman said, however, that
the Navy contends a matter OF
safety" is involved. He indicated
the Navy, thinks cars now parked
near its temporary buildings con-
stitute a fire hazard and should be
placed on the more distant Polo
Field lot.
Other Parks Being Built.
Another Navy spokesman recently
had informed The Star that parking
areas were being constructed near
the temporary buildings, and these
would draw away about $50 of the
cars then using the former polo field.
Commissioner Reynolds previously
had indicated he would go ahead
with his plan to return the Potomac
Park auto lot to recreation space
even If he could get only the Army
half.
At that time Mr.. Reynolds said
he had received oral assurances the
War Department would have no
objections.
The District Recreation Board
yesterday unanimously Endorsed the
efforts Of It's chairman, Harry
Wender, and Supt. of Recreation
Milo Christiansen to have the land
turned back to recreation.

Madhatters Out to Prove
Stacks Better With Hats
BY JOAN DEAN

Stacks as the efficiency experts

Stacks without appropriate ac-
cents are as tasteless as a Par

When the grapevine brought
US murmurings of the picnic

participants about the specifica-
tons of the slicker slack hats.
Before they'd let us peek, they
insisted upon explaining the
why of slack hats, as follows:
Hats keep your hair in place.
while you're racing and ranting
about and save you the trouble
of brushing the wandering locks
from your eyes
Moreover, the wearing OF
some head covering throughout
an active weekend in the sun
assures you well-placed curlS
come Monday morning.
THAT CONVINCED US. Con-
Sequently, we looked into the
specimens with a more personal
interest. The maipstayS OF the

Elsie Robinson
Get On With the Job
And Fight for America

LIKE that British express
sion, Get on with the job.
There's something deeply Amer
lean as we'll as British in II.
something that goes to the roots
of every real man or woman,
whatever their nationality.
Get on with the job" That
was the phrase that made
America. There was nothing
certain about that phrase and
there was nothing certain about
the job which our early fathers
faced.
They tackled new dangers
every day and made a mess of
a lot of them! They were as
limited and handicapped as we
are still handicapped by their
ignorance. their fear and sus-
picion.
But there was something in
them, something arrogant and
determined, which rose above
their fear and ignorance.
They knew they were bound
to make mistakes.
They knew they were bound
to know periods of despair and
dependency. But there was
something in them, valiant and
vital. which cried: Get on with
the job" And so they got on
and conquered.
Great Slogan
Get on with the job" It's a
great slogan. None of us knows
what the job exactly is. None
Of us knows what chances we
may be forced to take -. what
blunders we may make in our
struggles but this we can
know, all Of us:
We can get on with the job.
Whether we're working in a
foundry or a hospital or stand
ing over a sink, peeling the po-
tatoes and Winding a crying
baby at the same time, we can
get on with the job. For this
job isn't confined TO front line
trenches, to Alaska or Burma,
India or Australia.
It's job that spreads into
every heart that loves freedom
and self-reSpect and is deter
mined to protect this way of
life from the barbarian code.
All in the Army
Get on with the job" Get
on with that portion of the job
which lies Immediately beneath
your hand, and upon your tired
shoulders.
You are as much a part of the
army as any lad who is fighting
in Britain or France, India or
China.
You are still free men and
women-fight to preserve that
freedom. You still possess the
land your fathers cleared-fight
to save that land.
Fight to bring your children

There came also on the eve OF J..
the anniversary of Hitler's

Of American troops in raids on
France and American airmen
in the skies over Nazi occu-

In the background Of all
this grim military operation
dashed Premier Churchill, the
cohesive force in the not too
closely related Allied COM
mand. First In Importance,
perhaps, was his visit to Pres
ident Roosevelt In Washington
where he addressed Congress
and then a history making

One Of the highlights Of
Americas participation In the
war to date was the daring
raid by American bombers,
led by Brig. Gen. Jimmy Doc
little on military detectives In
Japan. Immediately this dar-
ing pilot became the symbol
Of American aerial offensive
and his later visit TO London
lent further strength to the
second front talk.
The last year saw the Rus
slams hold the Nazis on the
long Eastern Front, then push
them back through the winter
only to be knocked back on
their heels this summer. The
British drove through Libya
and were then pushed back

ing Egypt.
The Japs continued their re-
lentless drive southwark until
their forces formed a 1000
mile arc around Northern
Australia only TO have it
denied by the marines. They
pushed westward through
Burma and occupied the Aleu-
tian Island outposts.
