Messengers Scarce
As Western Union
Ends Special Service
Federal Agencies Little
Affected, but Pfivote
Erronds Are Delayed

Except for some Government
agencies, Washington was virtually
without special messenger service
today following discontinuance of
this service by Western Union at
midnight last night.
Postal Telegraph was still trying
to accommodate regular customers"
this morning but was accepting
packages for delivery subject to
heavy delay" Heavy delay was said
to mean from one to five or six
hours.
Dropping of Western Unions spe-
cial service was due to the de-
parture of boys for the armed forces
and Government jobs and to the
company's inability to obtain re-
placements.
Both Western Union and Postal
have advertised extensively for mes
sengers in recent months but there
have been few applicants and many
OF those hired stay only one day or
remain home in wet weather.
Government agencies and con-
gressional offices, served by civil
service messengers, for the most
part were not hard hit by discon-
tlnuance of Western Unions spe-
clal messenger service, but even in
the Government the demand for
messengers is exceeding the supply.
Boys who took jobs for the sum
mer have given them up to return
to school or have entered the armed
forces. Civil service examinations
Tor messengers are now open to
women and being held three times
daily at 800 Seventh street NV.
Minimum age requirement is is
years and those who pass are taken
into Government agencies immedi-
ately at starting salaries of $1,000 a
year,

Il sent him a receipt for it later"

Once you lose your husband you
lose the right to go through his
pockets"

Housing Association
Calls for Return Of
q Office BUILDINGS
Living Space for 1000
Could Be Provided by
Reconversion, 1t Says

Living space for 1000 persons
could be provided by reconverting
some % Office buildings back to
their original use, Mrs. Helen Duey
Hoffman, director of the Washing
ton Housing Association, told a
board meeting of the association
yesterday.
She reported that two former
apartments taken over as Office
buildings are to be returned to hous-
ing purposes, one Of them the Of
fees of the Board of Economic War
fare at Twenty-flfth and @ streets
NV.
Urging the return to Giving use"
of apartments and hotels taken over
for use by this Government, the
British and the Russians, she sug-
gested that temporary office Struc-
lures could be built that would not
demobilize so many bathtubs, so
many kitchens and so much vital
materials generally"
Although thousands of living units
are now under construction, she
said, there is little hope that enough
of them can be finished this fall to
fill the need.
In the associations monthly hous-
Ing letter the statement was made
that "to give the impression the
problem is being solved would be a
serious mistake"
For family units, the letter went
on, private industry will provide for
about 10000 persons, allowing four
persons to a family, and public
housing will provide for about $4,000
more persons in permanent, de-
mountable and demolishable dwell
ings.
AS for dormitories, counting those
occupied and those yet to be COM
pleted, the letter said about 10000
would be housed. In addition, about
100000 persons live in the 10000
rooming and boarding houses of the
District.
OF the 100000 newcomers here, the
letter stated, about 10000 are still
unplanned for as far as housing
needs go.

'HORSEMEN AND BOO SPEEDS MAY
 BE E'STRANDED'
Special Trains Cannot Be Used After Saturday;
 College Football Hurt

Salem, N. H., Oct. 2. (uP)-Tha management of Rockingham Park New England's oldest horse race track, met in emergency session to. day in an attempt to devise plans for continuation of the 42-day autumn meeting despite the federal governments ban on special trains.
 we hope some arrangements can be made so that our schedule can continue until Nov. H." said Gen. eral Manager Lou Smith. Were willing to operate on a Ilon-profit basis if necessary so that we can fulfill our obligations to the horse men,"
 Smith, who planned to confer with two partners and with Q com mittee of horsemen, said the track would be unable to continue the meeting under the present financial setup with the loss of special trains.
 Two tentative plans were sug- gested. One would see voluntary cut in purses for the horsemen. The second would see racing conducted on a cooperative basis with the own- CTS taking 8 percentage of each days handle.
 May Be "Strandedo Abandonment of the meeting would see more than 300 horses and some 1,200 owners, trainers and other racing participants stranded at the New Hampshire track until the opening of the southern racing season. A spokesman for the owners said the horses could not be moved to tracks now operating in New York and Maryland because of lack of accommodations there.
 Since the meeting opened Mon- day the Boston & Maine railroad has operated two special trains daily and scheduled three for Saturdays for the track. Gasoline rationing already had cut heavily into attend ance which was estimated at 25 per cent lower than in 194I. Revenue Cut" Despite the loss in attendance, pari-mutuels handle has been only slightly behind last years. But the various concessions, usually 8 source of large revenue for the track, have suffered severely. Under the order issued yesterday by the office of defense transporta- tion, railroad passnger schedules were frozen" and operation of spe- cial trains to football games, races and other sporting events were banned.
 As result, various college officials sought to learn if intersectional football games would have to be cancelled.

YALE FOOTBALL INAUGURAL SET MOseIey, Eli Leader, Not Expected to Participate
 Against Lehigh
(Bv United Press)

Yale university's untested foot ball team, master minded by new Head Coach Howie Odell but minus the services of Capt. Spence Nose ley, opens its 1942 season at New Haven tomorrow against Lehigh.
 Connecticut's small college con- tingent-Wesleyan, Trinity, Connec- ticut, Coast Guard and Arnold-al- so move into action mostly on the home front.
 But the Yale debut created the most interest among the states football-lovers. Just how well could Odell do where others in past years failed lamentably. The Ellis ap- peared to have lot of spirit and their practice sessions indicated they had scoring power. But practice days now were over, and the real stuff has begun.
 Trinity, held to a tie by Union last week, plays host tomorrow to Bates, and the situation wasn't too good at Hartford. Six varsity players were reported on the in jured list with various hurts sus- tained in last weeks game and dur ing practice. They may not see action.
 May Get Even
 Connecticut, swamped by Coach Clark Shaughnessy's Maryland eleven last week, will try to make up for it tomorrow at Storrs against Massachusetts State.
 Wesleyan, defeated by the U: S. Coast Guard academy in 8 close one last Saturday, attempts to break into the win column at Middletown tomorrow against Bowdoin.
 The Coast Guard eleven will try to make it two in a row when It meets worcester Tech at Worcester
 Arnold College was scheduled to meet Northeastern at Boston.

Outside Of discussing opposing anltters before games and playing khe percentages, as do all superior snauagers, Joseph Vincent Mccarthy lfngistS the Yankees had no set plans for any series, including the World Series.
 Although the edged-out Brooklyn nIfIb had the old pitcher, George 0hle, scout the New Works for a month, Joe Mccarthy didn't bother lko put Paul Krichell or some other lRankee eye on the Cardinals. Nor did the St. Louis club go out saF it's way to check on the fall per- lR0rnoances of the world champions. This in & measure, no doubt, was .4onaewhat due to the fact that the zsStfits are fairly well acquainted in armuch as they both train at St. %atersburg and play protracted mring series.
 on this occasion, the Red Birds have whatever advantage Inspector Dh1e,s report may give them, how ever. Lieut. -Col. Larry MacPhail, as a good National league man, hav- fne mailed it to Billy Southworth. fsetting back to pre-series nehenes, strategist Mccarthy sees <sn senee in rehearsing against s5mething which may not take place rnr example, the Dodgers worked *S4o nnueeze play very successfully xnd quite frequently last year, bag ~ed Ter games with 1t.

 It Doesn't Pay to Give Sucker Even Break

dons, Slaughters, Terry Moores and Musials, it seems that when they have softer touches on the other end, they can't resist saying to themselves: 'Ill just get the ball over and get this bloke out"
 The ball is over and the man, who more closely approaches the ll-American out than any other swats it, and before the other side knows it he has made other base hits in clutches and is something bordering on World Series hero.
 The moral seems to be: Never give sucker something good to look at with all that dough on the line
