Epiphany Schedules ;
Communion Services

Announcing three communion
services for Sunday at am, II
am. and at 8 pm, at the Church Of
the Epiphany. the Rev. Charles w.
Sheerin declared that "after six
months experience with a night
communion once a month for the
benefit of war workers particularly
and those connected with the armed
services, we feel this experiment,
rather rare in the Episcopal church,
has proved itself successful. feel
that it is the duty of the church to
adapt itself to the wartime condi-
tions. 1t has been proved that if
Epiphany did not have a night
service once month of the holy
communion there would be many
Episcopalians deprived of commun-
ion."
DR.. Sheerin will preach at II am.
on Temptation, the Hazard OF All
Living"
At the Sunday Night Canteen at
6 pm, 100 men of the 176th In
fantry will be entertained, accom-
panied by their chaplain, the Rev.
Arnold M. Lewis, who will assist
DIR. Sheerin at the services Sunday.
Entertainment at the canteen is in
charge of Adolf Torovsky, organist
OF the church, and members of the
Canterbury Club and the youth of
Epiphany serve as hosts and host.

Court Is Asked 10 Prevent
Free Play Machine Seizures

Three distributors of pinball ma
chimes which give free plays as re-
wards for making a certain score
asked District Court yesterday to
enjoin police from seizing the ma
chimes as illegal gaming devices.
The plaintiff firms argued that the
giving of free play does not vio-
late the District gaming law.
The complaint was filed by John
R. Sears, trading as Executive Nov
city Distributing Co., 1913 Rhode
Island avenue NE; Washington
Coin Machine Association, 1856 Rit-
tenhouse street NV, and Ira
Byram, trading as Silent Sales Sys-
tenn, 635 D street NV. Named as
defendants were Maj. Edward j.
Kelly and Harvey G. Callahan, su-
perintendent and assistant superin-
tendent, respectively, of the Metro
politan Police Department, and
United States Attorney Edward M.
Curran.
The three dealers asked the court
to hold that a free play is not a
thing OF value. not money or prop
erty within the meaning of the
statute and to declare that the
memorandum issued by Inspector
Callahan is illegal and void.
On August "a the District grand
jury returned an indictment in a
test case on the subject, charging
the owner of delicatessen, where
a free-play machine was located,
with violation OF the gaming law.
The defendant WAS Mama Shadid,
owner Of a store at 1881 East Capt.
tol street.

Music Group Objections
Cancel Treasury Program
By the Associated Press.

SASScS4SbSo
NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Objections
by the American Federation of Mu-
sicians (AFD have forced the War
savings stan of the Treasury De-
partment to abandon presentation
OF specially prepared musical pro-
grams over . network Of frequency
meditation radio stations, 1t was
disclosed yesterday.
Local 802 Of the union disapproved
OF q Treasury plan to accept the
offer Of the Perole String Quartet
to play free Of charge on the grounds
that the FIN stations did not use
any musicians on a regular basis.
Through the quartet's offer, the
Treasury hoped to take advantage
Of the greater fidelity Of transmits
sion inherent in FIN broadcasting.
William Feinberg, secretary of the
local, said the union told the Treas
ury that the quartet could volunteer
to play over any station it chose
providing the station ordinarily en-
ployed some musicians He said
F. M. broadcasts did not maintain
staff orchestras as standard stations
do.
Mr.. Feinberg added that If the
Treasury's request was granted, 1t
would be possible for . station never
to hire musicians regularly and still
offer the best of musical programs
through the participation and in
terest of the Government.
It was understood that Treasury
officials here decided to make other
arrangements and the concert series
has been transferred to WQXR, a
standard frequency station.

Senate May Vote
Next Week on Ban
.0fliquor Price Ads
D. C. Committee Backs
Two Changes Already
Approved by House

The Senate may have an oppor-
tunity next week to consider the two
changes in the local Liquor Control
Act already passed by the House
and recommended by the Senate
District Committee yesterday.
One amendment prohibits adver-
tising of price lists by Glass A and
B retailers and wholesalers. The
other extends from 400 to 600 feet
the dry zones around churches,
schools, certain other welfare insti-
tutions, the Soldiers Home, Army
posts and Navy Yard.
The bill provides that no holder
of the three types of licenses shall
advertise prices by any means or
through any medium. No price list
may be displayed in a liquor es-
tablishment if it is visible from the
street. Although applicable to all
license holders in these classes, the
bill will affect chiefly cut-rate liquor
stores.
In prohibiting licenses within 600
feet of churches and other desig-
mated institutions, the Senate COM
mittee exempted hotels with more
than so rooms.
The bill passed the House last
January. Hearings we're held by a
Senate subcommittee in February,
after which the bill was taken under
advisement by the committee until
yesterday.

Veto on Utility
Rates sisDe!niied.
President
ti-InfIution Bill
Action Leaves Cose
Up to Commission

- Refusal Of Congress to give the
President veto power over public
utility rate increases in the new
price control measure last night,
leaves in the hands Of the District
Public Utilities Commission the de-
cision as to whether Washington
Gas Light Co. rates should be raised
at this time. se
Proceedings have been under way
before the commission for several
weeks to determine whether the
company Is entitled to an increase
under the sliding scale agreement,
under which the basic rate of return
is fixed at 81 per cent on an agreed
valuation.
No Decision Yet.
The commission has not handed
down a decision, but the figures of its
accountants indicate possible in
crease Of $4,000. The company's
statistics suggest an increase of
$685., 900.
Before the Price Control Act
passed the Senate several days ago
it was amended by Senator Norris,
Independent, of Nebraska, to pro-
vide that utility rates throughout
the country could not be increased
above the September Is levels with
out the consent of the President.
Substitute for Veto.
House, and Senate conferees late
yesterday struck out this presiden-
tial veto power and substituted q
provision under which any common
carrier or other utility requesting a
general increase would be required
to give the President 80 days notice,
and consent to the appearance at
the rate hearings OF spokesmen for
the Once of Price Administration or
any other Government agency.
In the local gas case, oflcials OF
the OPA have taken part, but the
commission has overruled some OF
their motions to alter the scope OF
the sliding scale agreement. The
new price control provision on utility
rates insures the right of OPA to
intervene in proceedings before
State commissions, but retains the
power Of decision in such COM
missions.

Mail Deliveries

one-o-Doy Service
Adopted to Save
Tires and Cos

Householders in residential areas
are receiving their mail only once a
day as the local Post Off1ce Depart
ment moves to conserve rubber and
gasoline and to solve manpower
shortage.
Seventy-five per cent of all per-
sons outside the downtown area Is
receiving mail in the forenoon, while
the remainder in residential sections
is getting mail in the afternoon,
Supt. of Deliveries Russell H.
Thompson asid today.
Downton deliveries to business
concerns have been cut from three
to two day, while mail delivered to
Government agencies generally has
been pared down to five a day, he
said.
Collections Reduced.
Curtailment OF deliveries, which
began this week, follows by month
a reduction in collections through
out the city.
Mr.. Thompson explained that
some householders are not getting
their mail until afternoon because of
a doubling up of carriers. Under
the wartime plan, three postmen
now cover four districts In the
forenoon the three men deliver mail
in their districts, and then in the
afternoon the three together cover
a fourth district.
Collections in residential areas
have been cut to four a day from
boxes located generally on streetcar
and bus lines, Mr. Thompson said.
In general, boxes off these lines are
being removed. Eventually 400 mail
boxes will be removed by the de-
partment, it was estimated.
Repainted and repaired, the boxes
are being sent to other cities expert
encing heavy increases in popula-
tion, the superintendent said.
No Changes Nearby.
Postmaster Vincent c. Burke has
pointed out that the reductions were
necessary, because, among other rea-
sons, of the large number OF men
going into the armed services. Also
the necessity of saving tires on exist

postmasters report no change in
two-a-day deliveries of mail, al
though several admit that curtail-
ment might come.
The Silver Spring Post Office said
it might shift to one delivery a day
after Christmas The Mount Rainier
Post Office explained it had not
lost any of its carriers to the service
and therefore could continue the
regular twice daily deliveries.
Assistant Postmaster Elmore
Mudd of Alexandria reported today
that thus far they had lost few
men to other jobs or to the services
and, accordingly, two-a-day deliv-
cries continued. There has been
some curtailment of collections by
trucks, however, he said, to save
tires and gas. ,r
| Mr.. Burke has estimated that the
new procedure will save as much
as 1900 miles day in the 240 trucks
now used by the department.
With the removal of the 400 boxes,
total of 225 will be available for
the public, he has said.

Dubious on Workability. Z r
A veteran of the meatless days
in the last war, Abraham Grob, now
at the Wardman-Park and former
chef at the old Shoreham, thought
that, with so many people in Wash
ington eating in places other than
homes, the voluntary system may
not work.
II think the card system will have
to also be used in the meat ration, y
Mr.. Grob declared, because even
though hotels will have their nor
NAL supply cut, it will be case OF
first come first served for the choice
meat, and the early birds will be the
same persons each night. Yes,
think either the card system or 8
specified meatless day will be needed
to make the meat ration succeed"
Throughout the Nation leading
chefs were united in the opinion that
voluntary consumption of not more
than 21a pounds of meat weekly will
be easy. They we're also certain
that patriotic Americans can still
eat well enough, with rationing ir
effect, to slip the belt out a few
notches.
Fish Substitutes Cut.
In an article in Golfers Magazine
released today, Secretary Wackard
wrote that the present ration of 21a
pounds week would give each per-
son 130 pounds of meat a year, or
just one pound less than the average
per person annual consumption fol-
the 10 years between 1880 and 1910
The Secretary also warned against
depending too much on seafood to
replace meat on the family table
He said that submarine activity In
certain localities has limited salt
water fishing to a minimum.
