the light of that estimate Logic there
fore points to the need for further
staggering of hours.
approximately 245,O0o men and women
now go to work on staggered hours in
the morning, about 10 per cent report
ing between 8 and 8:45 A third of the
remainder goes to work before 8, few
starting at 7, and the rest, between 8 AS
and 9:30 The new stagger schedule
which Mr.. Van Duzer is contemplating
therefore will be aimed at cutting down
that s-s:45 bulge" and its companion
piece of the afternoon which comes from
4:30 to $50, with the heaviest concen-
tration between 4:30 and 5. In levelling
off these peaks, the director is thinking
of starting the process early in the morn
ing, which would bring corresponding
relief in early afternoon desirable sit
uation in view of the shortness of the
winter day. There is an interesting
angle in this general connection. Wash
ington traditionally has been a 9-430
town, with most Of the business centered
in that period Now, more than 10000
persons are working hours that start
them homeward after midnight.

for the A. B. & w. said the company
was still seeking delivery on buses or

the Offices of the Arlington and Fairfax
it was explained that only nine buses
had been ordered because 1t was felt
that there might be chance to get
that many but that the number did
not represent actual needs. It was also
pointed out by a spokesman for this
company that the constant usage to
which equipment is being subjected is
reducing its natural life by about rs
per cent

stance. the companies simply file tariffs,
and If no objections are raised, the
schedules they propose go into effect.
In planning for the future, the State
of Maryland will have a voice with
Virginia and the District of Columbia
for there are something like 40, 600 per-
sons from the Free State who also cross
the line every morning to go to work,
according to Mr. Van Duzer. Much Of
this movement has been by private car
more so than from Virginia, the director
says, SO correspondingly greater in
crease in public transportation will be
necessary in Maryland as the gas and
rubber shortages cut down on auto
mobiles.

portation for Metropolitan Area Mr..
Van Duzer has as his Maryland as

consequently would caiI Tor proceedings

Is suggesting Is an alternative that the

The only other point IN the area where
the extra fare issue would bob up Is the

month. Several thousand Federal en-
ployes are occupying the Suitland de-
velopment, and more are ready to pour
In within the next few weeks, to put
added strain on transportation facilities.
Buses May Be Rationed
But another complication has entered
this picture now, for the War Produce
ton Board has put temporary freez-
ing order on the manufacture of buses
and streetcars pending an inventory OF
materials in the hands OF equipment
builders, and the Once OF Defense Trans
portation is allocating new equipment
In the meantime, the operators are
attempting to comply with the state
ment OF policy outlined by the Office of
Defense Transportation by utilizing all
equipment to the fullest extent, and at
the same time practicing strict conser-
vation wherever possible.
Traffic Director Van Duzer has pro-
posed that as q bus conservation meas

area.
The other new group designated to
deal with the traffic situation here Is
the Advisory Traffic Committee to the
War Department, headed by M. o. Ed
ridge, assistant director of traffic. who
is associated with A. NJ Robertson of
the District Highway Department.; In
spector Arthur E. Miller of the Metro
politan Police and F. w. Lovejoy of the
Public Roads Administration.
New Equipment Needs
The problem of speeding the flow of
traffic, however, is only one of the major
items confronting those concerned with
transportation. The other is to insure
an adequate supply of equipment, and
some figures obtained from the operat-
ing companies show just what is needed
along this line.
The Capital Transit has pending an
order for 400 buses and l67 streetcars,
with 100 Of the buses destined for the

suits. He does not, however, intend to
push the new program before the middle
OF October when 1t can be shaped with
particular reference to the needs devel
oped by the peopling of the Pentagon
Building, for the movement in and out
Of that vast structure, the largest office
building in the world, poses stagger-
ing task of traffic handling. Some COM
parative figures show why.
For example, it has been pointed out
by transportation men, that to get the
War Department force on duty in that
single building every morning is equiva-
lent to moving the peak of traf1c in a
city Of 10000 persons.
Further, this particular service will
draw heavily on buses-almost entirely
perhaps as the rubber shortage intensi-
nes. To carry 10000 passengers in So
passenger buses would require 600 trips.
And that counter-flow must not be for
gotten. Highway, Memorial and Key
Bridges must take care of this load.
Three companies are providing serv-
Ice to the Pentagon. but transportation
authorities agree that the major move
ment will devolve upon the Capital
Transit Co., as 1t has been estimated
that upward of IS per cent of the en-
ployes will come from the Washington
side of the Potomac.
Capital Transit is serving the build
ing with line running from TWENTY
third street NV. at New York and Con-
stitutions avenues, via Lincoln Memorial
Bridge. The A. B. and w. brings in
passengers from Alexandria, as well as
Arlington and Fairfax counties while
the Arlington and Fairfax serves the
Pentagon (the routes also touch the
Navy building in Arlington) from Arl-
ington County and takes care of Arnold
Line passengers bound for the same
destination from Arlington and Fairfax
by transfer at Rosslyn.
Virginia residents can reach the Pent-
agon area for single fare. the routing
of the lines across the river enabling
them to travel to the site for a ten-cent
minimum, although the rate runs as
high as 20 cents for patrons from the
Falls Church neighborhood, the Army
Navy section of Arlington County being
included in the same zone as Washing
ton.
Extra Fares
Washingtonians have to pay two fares
to reach the new site however, Capital
Transit charges an extra nickle from
Twenty third street terminal, while the
Virginia lines rate from downtown is
ten cents. The A. and r. has five-cent
tariff from the lower end Of the city.
The interstate fares are approved by the
Interstate Commerce Commission, and
the intra-state rates by the Virginia
Corporate Commission. In each in

the proposal. There. has been some
suggestion Of move toward adjusting
fares to eliminate the dif'erential that
would be created, but this course would
be surrounded with difficulties unless
the companies themselves saw ut to
act. The rates for Virginia carriers are
regulated by the ICC and the yir-
ginia Corporation Commission, with only

pleting their journey by trolley. The
principal transfer point under such an
arrangement would be at Rosslyn, where
Arnold Line buses would interchange
passengers with Capital Transit.

More Staggered Schedules

More staggering Of hours appears to
be a certainty, with many employees
going to their desks as early as am.
Whatever else is done officially re-
mains for future determination.
According to Traffic Director William
8. Van Duzer, who also is Administrator
Of Defense Transportation for the Met
ropolitan Area. the Federal working
population here now is around 293 900.
This comprises 279000 in the executive
agencies, and $4,000 in judicial and
legislative, including 1900 in the Gov
ernment Printing ONCE. Then there
are something more than $4,000 Dis
trict employees, and uncounted thousands
OF the armed services, to put the Gov
ernment force we'll over the 100000 mark.
Private industry uses 10000 more-and
this figure moves upward as the Govern
ment population increases and places
new demands on the ordinary COM
munity serviceS-for grand total of
100000 or SO. All of these are potential
users Of transportation for business
purposes, because relatively small
proportion of this army walks to work.
But the end is not yet, for the opening
of schools will add to the trafhc load
Mr.. Van Duzer estimates these riders
at 100000. Any plan, consequently. will
have to consider all these various
elements, for the movement Of the whole
will have to be integrated as a basic
preliminary toward free and steady
traffic flow.
1t is possible that the load-for the
moments being overestimated slightly.
Is the directors figures on executive
Evening star., 1942-08-02

The Capital Transit Co., which serves
the District and the heavily populated
Maryland area to the north by bus
and trolley, also is handling a record
movement and expects Is to IS per
cent pickup because of the restrictions
on private automobiles. 1t faces the
same equipment problem as the vir-
ginia lines, and that goes, too for the
Washington, Marlboro and Annapolis
line, which runs buses through South
east Washington into wide territory
In Maryland.
The manpower situation constantly
grows more acute, the shortage of help
causing the companies real concern.
And the Government continues to
add to the burden by importing an
average Of more than 5000 new en-
ployes into the District every month,
with no let-up in sight.
The familiar expedient of appointing
committees has been invoked with two
groups named to deal with the matter.
The committeeman however, are not
miracle-workers and their scope of activ-
ity is necessarily limited.
