Big Apartment Project
Lifts Alexandra figures

Building permits issued for the
large apartment house project of
the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.
of New York comprised about half
of the $6,011 ,166 worth of new con-
struction authorized in the first six
months of this year in Alexandria,
Va, according OF the report of Build
ing Inspector A. r. Lash.
The insurance company's project
will cost $7,500,000 when completed,
Mr.. Lash said.
The more than s6,000,000 worth
of new construction authorized in
Alexandria thus far this year is only
$1,500,000 below the s7,500,O00 worth
OF construction for the entire IL
months of 1941, the report revealed.
This figure is regarded as high
because of the freezing of construc-
ton materials now in effect, Mr..
Lash said.

House Due 10 Vote
Tomorrow
In D. T.. Rent Act
Amendments Designed
To Give War Workers
Rooms in Privute Homes
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

Under special permission obtained
from Majority Leader Mccormack
by Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee, the House is ex-
pected to act tomorrow on the
amended rent control act, designed
to encourage home owners to take
in war workers as roomers during
the emergency.
The House has no legislative pro-
gram for the coming week, and under
an agreement no measures of a con-
troversial nature are to be consid-
cred.
Mr.. Randolph assured Majority
Leader Mccormack and the House
that two bills which he will present
tomorrow carry the unanimous vote
of the District Committee and are
not controversial. He said he is
sure the House will want to follow
the action of the committee.
Agency Land Exchange.
The other bill to be offered pro-
vides for an exchange of parcels of
land between the Federal Housing
Administration and the Secretary of
the Interior. Under this proposal
school and playground site will
be exchanged for portion of the
old Friendship estate not needed for
the housing development there, so
that the school and recreation facil-
tiles may be located closer to the
new center of population in that
area.
The House District Committee to-
morrow will consider the revised
blackout bill for the District, which
gives the Commissioners broad pow
ers in emergencies for the protec-
ton of life and property. The COM
mittee last week approved the bill
with amendments, and is expected
tomorrow to order it reported to the
House.
Chairman Randolph also an
nounced he planned to discuss with
the committee the Commissioners
report on a survey ordered by Con-
gress into the feasibility of a sub
way system for the District The
report was received Friday by
Representative D'Alesandro, Demo-
crat. of Maryland, who proposed the
resolution ordering the survey.
Complete Survey.
Mr.. Randolph said he will refer
the report to a subcommittee, and
has requested Corporation Counsel
Richmond B. Keech to draft legis-
lation to carry into effect the Com
missioners' recommendation for a
complete engineering survey for a
! broadened system of underpasseS,
! street depressions and traffic di-
versions, with terminals. The Com
missioners have asked for an ap-
preparation of $4,000 to make the
| survey
! Early this week Chairman Lam
! ham of the House Public Buildings
and Grounds Committee expects to
resume hearings on the Downs bill
! authorizing the use of certain sec
tions of the Capitol grounds to the
southeast and southwest of Union
Station for dormtories in which
young women who come here fOl
war work can be housed temporarily
until they have an opportunity tc
find living quarters elsewhere. II
was emphasized at previous hear
ings that these Union Station apart
ments are TO be held for transients
and not used as permanent homes
for war workers.

More Women Needed
To Help Distribute
Price Ceiling Data
Volunteers Can Register
Today in Person or
By Telephone

A call for more volunteers to aid
in the distribution of official price
ceiling information to every retail
merchant in the District was made
yesterday by women leaders among
the groups alreadying cooperating
in the undertaking.
Headquarters of the Consumer IN
terests Committee of the Civilian
Mobilization Division of local OCD
at 1912 Eleventh street NV. will
be open today to register volun-
teers. Mrs. Charlotte Warner, COM
mittee chairman, announced. Those
who cannot register in person, she
said, may do so by telephone.
The actual distribution will take
place Wednesday morning, but to-
morrow at 10 am. the women VOL
unteers will gather in the Depart

washington achieved something
approaching a safe and sane OBJ
servation of the Fourth of July yes
terday.
There were no traffic fatalities re-
ported and few accidents in which
anyone was injured There was nc
evidence that firecrackers had taken
their usual toll of small boys fingers
and there were not even many COM
plants from nervous neighbors
about fireworks.
The two principal public observa-
tions in the local area were the ira
ditional gathering of the Oldest In
habitants at the old Union Engine
House and the Takoma Park annual
Independence Day community cele-
bration.
The Oldest Inhabitants partici-
pated in program which was high
lighted by speech by Representa-
tive Robson, Republican, of Ken
lucky. The Takoma Park cele-
brants, bowling to the edict pro-
hibiting fireworks displays, con-
tented themselves with a parade
speeches and a bomb control dem
onstration.
Alert for Token Raid.
Throughout the city, the influence
Of the war was noted. Civilian de-
fense workers were under instIuc-
tions to be readily available" in
case the Axis chose Independence
Day for a token raid.
Employees of the Federal war
agencies took no holiday, answering
the Presidents request not to waste
one hour" Men in uniform, on
leave over the holiday, thronged
into the city.
Travel on railroads and buses was
heavy. Bus lines here were using
all available equipment. Union
Station was jammed and the rail-
roads were running extra sections
on most of their scheduled Journeys
Resort Traffic Light.
Traffic on roads to nearby resorts
was extremely light. Gasoline ra-
tioning kept thousands of drivers
home. There was little gas to be
had in the District area yesterday
although the situation was not as
bad here as elsewhere in the East.
The Keystone Automobile Club
said, after survey, that the supply
Of most stations would be insufficient
to meet weekend demand.
Inability to obtain gasoline last
night was reported to have stranded
several hundred persons from the
Washington area at Chesapeake
Beach, North Beach and other re-
sorts in that area of Southern Mary
land, and many were forced to
sleep in their cars, on piers or on
beaches.
At Chesapeake Beach and North
Beach all hotels and rooming houses
were taken, and many beach cot
tages were turned into one-night
hotels. The week end crowd was
described as teh largest in the his
tory of the resort.
A large percentage Of the visitors
relied on the supply of gasoline
which they expected to be available

PUG Head Sees
Wider Use of
Express Buses
Preliminary Results
Of Traffic Survey
Are Reviewed

Possibility of increasing express
bus service was emphasized last
night by Gregory Hankin, chair
man of the Public Utilities Com
mission, in discussing preliminary
results of PUG transportation and
destination survey.
The survey, begun June /, was
completed last week About 400 900
cards were sent out.
Mr.. Hankin said approximately so
per cent of those replying so far go
TO and from work by streetcar or
bus; about Is per cent use private
automobiles, and the remaining 25
per cent walk or use bicycles or
other means of transportation.
100000 Cards Tabulated.
Mr.. Hankin said about 10000
cards had been returned and tabu-
lated, and 10000 more are expect
ed. About $4,000 have been returned
but not tabulated, and about $4,000
cards have been returned but show
errors and require correction work.
An additional $4,000 returned cards
deal with non-rush hour service and
therefore will be included in a sup
Elemental report
Mr.. Hankin said he felt the sur
vey would benefit streetcar and bus
patrons since it showed bus loads
OF passengers would be ready at
certain times at certain points.
These loads could be sent express"
to points near the employment
areas. Asked if this meant .he
present express bus system would
be superseded by the proposed new
semi-express bus route, Mr.. Hankin
said: 1T would be foolhardy to
start at one time new express bus
system throughout the District. We
must tackle one line at time to
see If anything can be saved in the
way of tires, gasoline and service
by operators"
Cross Town Line Cited.
He cited as one example the case
OF the proposed new cross-town bus
line via Military road. The survey
showed that twice as many persons
whose work destinations lay along
1iiio 1outC uScu private duIOIlODlleS
as used mass TRANSPORTATION facili-
ties.
Mr.. Hankin said this was the ex-
act opposite Of the general finding
that for the city as whole twice
as many persons used mass trans
portation as other facilities. He
offered this as proof that the Capt.
tai Transit Co. had fertile field"
for new customers if the second
cross-town bus line were established.
