Of 120 Buses
Made Uncertain by
WPB Freezing Order
Merrill, Waiting Word
From ODT, Sees Further
Hour Staggering Here

The War Production Board yes
terday froze all new passenger buses
not yet sold by manufacturers, plac-
ing in jeopardy the chances Of the
Capital Transit Co. Of obtaining
120 vehicles it has on order.
The WPB order, announced by
Director Joseph B. Eastman Of the
Office of Defense Transportation,
places several thousand buses at his
disposal for ALLEGATION to areas
where transit emergencies develop.
Edward T. Merrill, transit COM
pany president, said that he has
received no word from the ODT as
to whether the company will get
the additional buses. Originally, he
said, the company had placed orders
for 275 to meet the growing trans
portation problem here, but this was
cut to 100 when the WPB limited
bus output to the number that could
be produced with materials on hand.
The Arm expects to begin re-
ceiving deliveries next week on q
contract for 81 new streetcars I'm
less something unforeseen devel-
ops, Mr.. Merrill sid, the entire
allotment should be here in 90 days.
Capital Transit was about TO
order 100 new streetcars, Mr.. Merrill
said, when the WPB halted all pro-
duction OF those vehicles. SILL
The transit head said that the
WPB's latest action may force fur
ther and pretty drastic" staggering
Of working hours In the congested
downtown area OF Washington and
the conservation Of vehicles "in
every possible way"
Under the new order, buses will be
sold only as directed by ODT. and
only If the transit company receiv-
Ing them agrees to allow their
transfer to another city in case a
worse need develops in the latter
place.
In addition, a transit company
buying city bus must agree to op-
crate it not more than 1000 miles
a month, and a utility purchasing
an intercity bus must agree not to
run it more than 1000 miles
month.
ODT explained that the stipula-
ton would prevent companies from
following their normal. tendency to
use new equipment more intensively
than older vehicles and would keep
the buses in operation for the dura-
ton of the war.

On the theory that bombers won't
travel all the way from Germany

Once of Civilian Defense has issued
instructions that crowds at outdoor
assemblies remain where they are
should an air raid occur.
Since the local OCD has been
advising crowds to disperse during
an air raid, different plans adapted
to the new instructions are being
worked out.
The national OCD pointed out
that large assemblies, including
those at baseball and football games,
at mass meetings and outdoor con-
certs, would only be allowed where
military authorities did not expect
q raid.
War Objectives More Important.
Under situation where it is
not logical to expect such a raid"
the OCD letter of instructions de-
clared, IAN estimate of the situa-
tion would lead to the conclusion
that the enemy would not assume
such a risk unless the objectives
were more important to him than
the accidental assemblage of
people"
At all Water Gate concerts here
this summer. announcement had
been made that should an air raid
occur the audience was to leave the
concert. get IN automobiles or buses
and depart.
The national OCD instructions,
however, point out that if people
leave the place where they have
been assembled, they wuold be sent
from the streets in any case were
an air raid in progress.
Carrying on" Suggested.
The instructions recommend keep
Ing the program going, starting
group singing. making no attempt
to disperse even a portion of the
crowd, since that might start a
panis; using the public address sys-
tenn to convince the audience to re-
main quiet and resolute";; training
ilshers to act as wardens and to deal
with possible hysteria; turning out
lights If the raid comes at night, re-
1questing doctors and nurses to
gather at central point where first
aid facilities would be available, and
generally carrying on" at the scene.
The OCD said the instructions
were advisory and could be varied by
local civilian defense organizations.
