month, plus 18 more for trucks and
cars used in the company's opera
tions.
Asked if he believed the firm
would be asked to cut down on its
tire replacements, Mr.. Merrill said
he didn't see how that would be pos
sible if adequate bus service is to
be maintained. He pointed out that
the automobile and tire rationing
program will throw an even greater
burden on public transportation IA
cilities, already heavily taxed by
Washington's rapid growth.
Mr.. Merrill also explained that
the company would have to request
even more tires when shipments OF
the 215 new buses now on order be-
gin to arrive. Each bus requires
six tires.
The transit firm has a contract
with the Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Co., under which 1t pays so much
per mile for tires supplied by the

assumed that his firm would have
to get its supply of tires from the

building may be determined by the

engineer.
In an apartment which already
has completed its plans, it was de-
cided that in case of an air raid,

top floors of the eight-floor building
would be evacuated. To eliminate
confusion, the tenants on the first
floor were assigned to apartments
with the same apartment number,
that is, occupying similar position.
on the third floor. The second-f1oor
tenants were assigned to the fourth
floor; the seventh-floor tenants to
the fifth floor and the eighth-floor

Heavy Load on Phones
Cited by McCarran in
Opposing Inquiry
Senote D. G. Chuirmon
Gives Figures to Show
Unprecedented Situation

Expressing a belief every effort is
being made by the Chesapeake &
Potomac Telephone Co. to meet the
heavy demands placed on its facii-
ties here by the war. Chairman Nc
Carran Of the Senate District Com
mittee today advised against going
ahead with any comprehensive tele-
phone inquiry at this time.
The committee chairman was Civ
ing his impressions of a personal
inspection he made recently, after
Senator Connally. Democrat, of
Texas had offered a resolution in
the Senate, complaining of made
quate service and proposing an in
vestigation to find out II the COM
pany IS employing sufficient per-
sonnel and equipment to handle the
traffic load.
Gives Figures.
1T is conceded that the service
has not been instantaneous in all
cases." said Senator McCarran, "but
personal inspection shows that every
attempt has been made by the tele-
phone company to meet the un-
precedented conditions brought
about by these unprecedented
times"
The Senator cited the following
figures to show the increase in tele-
phone communication:
In 1910 - Telephones installed
1l9,500; local calls per day, lists. 600
In 1941 - Telephones installed
1876. 700; local calls per day, 1914 900
For the new year, the number Of
calls per day is estimated at D.
325, 900. Long distance calls have In.
creased as follows:
In 1940-13,100: in 1941-23, 300;
for l942-estimated at $1,000.
Cites Outlays.
The Senator also gave figures or
company outlays for old and new
construction, as follows: In 1910
SIG, ,709, 900. In 1941-$27, ,137, 600, anc
estimated for the first three month.
of 1926, ,202 900. Continuing, Sen
ator McCarran said:
I'm view of the fact that in tn.
matter Of existing facilities installer
and those estimated to care for th'
Increased load of the future th'
telephone company not only ha
kept abreast of the times but ha
by long-range planning provides
suncient equipment to care ade
quately for the immediate needs o
both the Government and civil pop
ulation of Washington, it is no
thought advisable in these times o
emergency to undertake a study o
the corporate structure and flnancia
connections Of the company. 1t mus
be borne In mind that such . stud,
would involve many months of care
full, painstaking examination an
expenditure Of thousands of dollars
It Is suggested that no further in

SPECIAL CLASSES
 FOR BOMB SCHOOL
Instructors to Train VOlurl- teers as Reconnaissance
 Agents for Emergency

With only 12 qualified bomb rec onnaissance agents in this city and over double that number needed, together with many more for the small towns surrounding Waterbury, a special one-day bomb reconnais- sance school will be held at the C. l.. & P. auditorium on Leavenworth street on Tuesday. Starting at 8 a. m., the school will run through 5:30 D. m. with an hour off for lunch. Needed as agents are those who would be available for 24-hour duty in case of an emergency.
 There is no charge for the school which is being given here through the efforts of Dana L. Davis, direc- tor of emergency services of the State Defense Council. Arthur l.. Reynolds, chief reconnaissance agent for the Waterbury region which includes 12 towns, stated that he expects at least one repre- sentative of each town to attend the meeting. Arthur L. Craig is the rec onnaissance agent for Waterbury. Several industrial plants are ex- pected to have representatives at the meeting, but their duties will be only in the plants in which they work in case of an emergency.
 The duty of the reconnaissance agent in case of a bombing is to dis cover and identify all unexploded bombs, and take all the necessary precautions until the Army removal squads arrive. The agent is in ab- solute charge of the area and may order the evacuation of any persons near the scene and even the stop ping of production in factory ad- iacent to the bomb.
