ODT Director Joseph B. Eastman
estimated the curtailments would
save almost 1O000O,OO0 bus tire
miles a year, equivalent to what
would be consumed by fleet of 400

Mr.. Eastman said the orders were
intended primarily to divert local

and expressed hope that the action
would serve as an incentive to all
cities having streetcar systems still
in operation to adopt similar curtail-
ments.

Leading Vichy French
Defense Of Africa
Won WitzIeben Is Said
To Be Accompanied by
French-Germun Stuff

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. 10-German Field
Marshal Erwin Won Witzleben has
arrived in Vichy French North Af-
rica from Occupied France to take
charge of defense operations against
American Expeditionary Forces, it
was reported today by Soviet sources.
Won Witzleben, 81. a descendant of
an old Prussian military family, who
led the German lst Army in its
break through the French Maginot
Line west of Saarbruecken in June,
1910, was said to have been accom-
panied by staff of French and
German officers.
His arrival was reported by Rus
sian news agency dispatches from
Lisbon which were relayed here
from Moscow.
The field marshal commanded
defenses on Germany's western
front at the beginning of the war.
For' those services and the sue
cessful offensive operations against
the Maginot Line he was awarded
the Knights Cross of the Iron Cross
and was advanced from field mar
shall general to field marshal.

Voluntary Plan Seen

Manpower Problem
Democratic Leaders Of
Congress Confer With
President on Situation

President Roosevelt conferred
with Democratic congressional lead
ers on the manpower problem today
and House Majority Leader Nc
Cormack said later that he believed
legislation ultimately may be nee
essary, but that "the trend" now is
to seek voluntarily cooperation.
"The whole thing is being consid-
cred and the necessity of some kind
of solution is being recognized"
Mr.. Mccormack told reporters.
Besides Mr.. Mccormack, Vice
President Wallace, Senator Hill,
Democrat, of Alabama and Speaker
Rayburn attended the conference.
Mr.. Mccormack said the pending
bill for drafting 18 and 10 year old
youths was not discussed, indicating
that the conferees were concerned
primarily with manpower.
Farm Problem Studied.
One of the major matters of con-
Germ, he said, is the labor shortage
confronting farmers. In view Of the
vital wartime need for food, Mr..
Mccormack emphasized the neces-
Sity of meeting the farm labor sit
uation as national problem.
President Roosevelt,s omission Of
Republican legislators from the
meeting threw what appeared to be
a blanket of frost on budding con-
gressional proposals for bipartisan
back-stage discussions of vital war
problems.
Republicans and even some Demo-
Gratis have suggested joint COM
mittee to consult with the President
On the conduct of the war, but if Mr..
Roosevelts attention was attracted
he gave no sign of it today in invit-
ing only Democrats to his first meet
ing with congressional leaders since
the election.
One influential Republican pre-
dicted the proposal would die aborn-
ing not only because administration
lieutenants privately oppose it but
because chairmen and members of
permanent committees charged with
handling war measures would resent
the intrusion of such a group into
their particular fields.
Liaison Groups Urged.
AS an alternative, Senator Taft,
Republican, of Ohio, said he would
like to see the Republicans in Con-
gress establish liaison committees
of their own that could confer with
the President when there was i'm
portant legislation in the offing.
| A committee of three members
might easily obtain the President S
point of view on any specific prob
lem, impart that to the Republican
conference and in turn transmit
the Republican reaction to Mr.
Roosevelt, Senator Taft said.
He emphasized, however, that he
was not discounting the value OF
a joint bipartisan committee such
as that proposed by Senator Ma
loney, Democrat, of Connecticut and
backed enthusiastically by Senator
Vandenberg, Republican, of Michi-
gan.

The Hillcrest Citizens Association
voted last night to make applica-

Public Utilities Commission on in
creased gas rates in the District.
Mrs. Mabel I. Morris, secretary of
the Fort Davis Citizens Association,
told the Hillcrest group a recent
check of Federal Power Commis-
sion figures revealed that gas heat
ing rates in the District are higher
than those in Philadelphia and
Baltimore.
I'VE want the PUG to reopen the
entire gas case," said Mrs. Morris,
'for a discussion of all factors that
enter into rate making and to de-
termine whether the rates are fair
and reasonable, if not excessive in
the light of present conditions"
Declaring that the conduct of re-
cent PUG hearings on the gas case
was deplorable," Mrs. Morris
praised Gregory Hankin member of
the commission. He tried to bring
out points that might have been
made by peoples counsel, she
said, but was constantly ignored by
the opposition. At one point the
gas company's representative just
turned his back to Mr.. Hankin, Mrs.
Morris charged.

A request was made by Donald
Gunther, chairman of civilian de-
fense in Hillcrest, for volunteers to
take part in the coming civilian

deputy AFRAID warden of the Sec

Tass said the italian petition was

and had not yet received a reply.
German representatives in Rome
were said to have advised Mussolini
to start military operations in
French Northern Africa without
waiting for aid"
United Nations propaganda was
on the offensive along with their
military forces. The British radio
told Italians day and night the
ranking story Of how the Germans
had abandoned Italian divisions in
Egypt.
The Americans began making an
enticing distinction between Ger
man enemy aliens and Italians
weeks ago.
Some evidence that this kind of
talk was sinking in was seen here in
Italian radio commentators remarks
about fears of Allied invasion, ap-
peals for Italians to be kind to one
another and admonitions for show
of courage like that of the British
after Dunkerque.
A visit by Hitler to Rome would
be his first appearance in the Italian
capital since the war began. He has
been in Rome only once before on a
