Plan 10 Halt Buses
At Ross|yn Will GET
0DT Study
Co-ordinutors to Weiqh
Complaints Of 10000
Virginia Commuters

Further studies Of the so-called
Van Duzer plan which would halt
Washington bound buses from
nearby Virginia at the Rosslyn
plaza, will be undertaken when the
Regional Committee Of Defense
Transportation Co-ordinators re-
convenes late this week or next
week, F. w. Lovejoy of the Public
Roads Administration, secretary to
the group, announced yesterday.
The committee is composed of De-
fense Transportation Co-ordinators
William A. Van Duzer, District traf-
flc director; Milton E. Diehl, Vir-
ginia representative, who is special
assistant to ODT Director Joseph
B. Eastman and acting chairman
of the Arlington County Public Util-
tiles Commission, and Ben G. Will
kinson, Maryland representative,
who is States attorney for Mont
gomery County.
10000 Commuters Affected.
At a conference last week discus
sion centered around the plan to
stop Washington, Virginia & Mary
land Coach Co. buses at the Vir-
ginia end of Key Bridge, where an
estimated 10000 commuters would
be required to transfer to Capital
Transit Co. streetcars daily.
Mr.. Van Duzer drafted the plan,
which also deals with alterations
in other Washington and nearby
lines, at the request of subcom-
mittee of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission which
sought recommendation to conserve
tires, gasoline and transportation
equipment.
At the committee session, Mr.
Lovejoy said, it was decided to post
pone further studies until data have
been obtained from the transit firms
involved, the Virginia State Cor
poration Commission and other
agencies having jurisdiction. A traf-
flc count also is in progress at Ross
| lyn plaza to determine the accuracy
of the estimate of 10000 bus pas
sengers passing that point daily.
Conservation Comes First.
The committee recognizes that
the fare situation is most prominent
/ in the public's mind" Mr. Lovejoy
said. But we are concerned first
with conservation and will attack
the problem without regard to bene-
fits to any single utility. The Metro
! politan Area must be considered for
/ this purpose as one unit, without
regard to the different political
units. The ideal solution would be a
pooling of transportation facilities
/ for the duration of the war
Virginia commuters complain that
they would be required under the
Van Duzer plan to pay two fares
unless the present arrangement by
which transfers are not provided
between the Arnold-operated buses
and Capital Transit lines should be
| altered.

any future balloon houses might be
avoided simply by putting some
gravel down first.
The seepage theory is firmly op-
posed by a spokesman for Defense
Homes, Inc. He says the floors are
chilly, even in midsummer. Cold
drops of water. condensed from the
atmosphere, form on the floors, Just
like on the outside of an ice tea
glass;" he declares. Some residents
have suggested wooden flooring and
other remedies, but this official re-
mains respondent.
Attention is devoted to reporting
the defect of dampness because in
other ways this housing experiment
appears to be a whooping success.
Waiting List.
The houses are pleasant in appear
ance, inside and out. A waiting
list of people who want to move in
is signed up with the M. E. Church
reality firm of Falls Church.
Good points, partially listed, fol-
low:
l. The homes are remarkably cool.
Mrs. Tighe, for instance, says her
house has never been SO warm she
felt it necessary to turn on the auto
matte air circulation system.
2. Rents are reasonable. For $50
you get one-hemisphere, one-bed-
room igloo. For $50 you get two
hemispheres, joined together with
a f1at-topped section. One balloon
is the living room, with a high
rounded ceiling and rough walls
which give it the appearance of
studio. Circular rooms have no
corners to keep clean. Two big bed
rooms and a bath fill the other
circle, together with enough closets
to please any housekeeper. The
kitchen is in the linking section. A
gas stove, gas water heater, elec-
trio refrigerator and washing ma
chine stand here. A family with
three children can live here very
comfortably, as the TigheS have
found
3. Shutters and doors have been
painted bright blue; flagstone walks
have been laid (at least some of
them at the tenants expense), small
gardens have been created and col
orful outdoor furniture placed

architecture which would otherwise
be pure Eskimo.

A potential candidate eliminated
himself from the Democratic pri-
mary in the sixth Maryland Con-
gressional district last night as Mrs
Katharine E. Byron. incumbent
spiked rumors that she would quit
the race
In announcing he would not be
candidate for the nomination
John J. McMullen of Cumberland
chairman of the Upper Potomac
River Commission, former sup
porter of Mrs. Byron, said he would
give his to 1t Col E. Brooke Lee
Of Montgomery County, Mrs. Bryon s
only opponent so far. Deadline for
filing is Friday night.
Wants Party Unity.
In statement Mr.. McMullen
said:
=. After due consideration I have
decided not to become a candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
Congress from this district. I deeply
appreciate the suggestion of my
name by some of my friends and
the numerous offers of support from
various parts of the district.
After careful thought, I have
concluded that the imperative need
for party and national unity at this
time make it advisable for me to be
a candidate. My decision was aided
by the fact that, in my opinion,
the Sixth District of Maryland has
In Col. E. Brooke Lee a candidate
admirably qualified to represent us
during these perilous times, and
will support him for the Demo-
cratic nomination.
I'm special election of 1941, I
supported Mrs. Katherine E. Byron
because I thought that she was en-
titled to finish the term left vacant
by the tragic and untimely death
OF her husband, Rep. William d.
Byron. During the present emer-
gency, however, think it important
that the strength of our representa-
ton in Congress should supercede
all other considerations"
Urged to Be Candidate.
Mrs. Byron's statement was as
follows:
Recently I have been giving at
tention to the question whether l
should retire from the campaign
this year. However. the many re-
quests I have had throughout my
District, people urging me to seek
denomination and reelection, to-
gether with my sincere desire to be
of the greatest help in the war
effort lead me to announce that I
will file my certificate of candidacy
for the Democratic nomination for
Representative for the 9Th District
of Maryland.
There should be only one major
issue before the voters and that is
whether the candidates Offering
themselves have supported the Ad-
ministration in all efforts in the
life-and-death struggle which we
are engaged in today, and what
would be the attitude of the candi-
date in the years ahead. My record
is clean. I have supported the Ad-
ministration in its 'all-out war ef-
fort in every manner before Con-
gress and I shall continue to do So"

Curious Still Throng to Balloon Houses;

At the road entrance to Virginia's
IL balloon houses are signs saying
Keep Out, " This Means You'll" and
"Scram, Yes u"
These constitute a spirited de-
fense - but an Intellectual one -
against curiosity concerning perhaps
the most fantastic housing project
in America.
{ Strangers track through the
muddy grounds on Horseshoe Hill,
two miles beyond Falls Church, and
peek in windows, night and day.
Some demand entry, as If to a

The "igloos,' as The Star reported
last November, were built of con-
crete sprayed over rubber balloons,
in reinforced layers. The balloons
then quickly were Debated and re-

Called Safe Investment
Federal Loan Administrator Jesse
Jones at that time revealed that a
complete house could be built in two
days, and said his hometown bank
would consider one safe invest
ment. 1t seemed that housing might
be revolutionized.
Since May the bubble houses have
been occupied by Government war
workers and their families, harried
by outsiders who want to know if
the project is success-a comfort

Mayor, Senators Back
0'Conor Plea for New
Blood in Assembly
COP Leader, However,
Coils Governors Move
Political Muneuver


BALTIMORE, July 18.-Gov.
O'Conor's announced program to get
outstanding men to run for the
Legislature apparently has started
something.
Both United States Senator's from
Maryland, Millard E. Tydings and
George L. Radcliffe, and Baltimore's s
Mayor Howard w. Jackson today
indorsed the program while sinul-
taneously Republican Leader Galen
L. TAFT took pot shot at the idea
as IAN adroit but very transparent
election device to give Gov. O'Conor
an easy passage into second term"
Mayor Jackson, the first to come
forward. said he would aid In every
way possible to get high-type can
didates for the General Assembly
and would be glad to confer with
the Governor in an effort to per-
suade persons of ability to enter
the list.
Governors Appeal.
The Mayors statement was in
response to an appeal from the
Governor by letter to persons in all
sections Of the State to make sacri-
fees and enter the legislative lists
which close next Friday night.
Il would try to be helpful" Sen
ator Tydings said, lin the general
program without. of course, inter-
fering with local self-government.
In my judgment the campaign has
had the effect of getting those in
terested in the political field to OBJ
tain the best candidate possible
The effect in the counties has been
indirect, rather than direct"
Senator Radcliffe said: Gov.
O'Conor's suggestion that all forces
be brought to bear to influence out
standing men to enter the Legisla-
| ture race strikes me as an excellent
idea. I am prepared to do every
thing I can to persuade such men to
interest themselves at this time to
run for the Legislature.
TAFT Charges Politics.
Mr.. TAFT, who was for years Re-
publican party leader in the State
and a candidate for the Senate in
1888, charged that the whole pro-
gram was a political maneuver.
The appeal, in truth" Mr.. TAFT
said, lis an adroit but very trans
parent election device to give Gov.
O'Conor an easy passage into a Sec
ond term. The effect of such con-
tinuance, however, will be to carry
Maryland, as in the history of
Louisiana and Georgia. a big step
forward toward O'Conor totalitar-
ianism"
IF a more plausible Ritchie were
stopped in the fifth term, then the
O'Conor regime, in fair comparison,
is entitled to only the one term he
promised Maryland people, Mr..
TAFT concluded.
Bid to Speaker Conlon.
Among the outstanding men" al
ready asked by the Democratic lead
ers to run for the Legislature was
House Speaker Thomas E. Conlon
who announced last month that he
planned to retire from the General
Assembly.
Similarly, it was reported. Gov
