Psychologists know the power
that the social disapproval of ones
own class can exert on any indi-
vidual. Herd instinct keeps or
binary folk from sticking out their
necks. The Reich master minds
divert this tendency to their
diabolical ends. They drop a
little poison here and a little
there and trust to gullible Ameri-
can stooges to circulate the in
sidious hints throughout a plant.
New Workers recently repatri-

that the RATS daylight strafing

event so far in this war.
The Americans say that when
they were exiled abroad, Black
Shirts boasted that the Tiber
would never be attacked because
in the confusion Of a night raid a
stray bomb might strike the vati-

different matter and the recent
onset may be the shadow Of
things to come from the Alps or
a carrier.
A top executive Of one of New
York's great banks last December
decided II was his duty to offer
his service to his country. He
wrote a letter to the war depart
ment in which he outlined his past
experience and suggested some of
the things in line with his capa-
bilities.
Several months later a cabinet
member visited the firm and told
the president that he greatly
needed an expert having certain
qualifications. i've got exactly
the man you want" replied the
business leader and introduced the
volunteer.
He was given an outstanding
commission in the capital. The
other day he received an envelope
addressed to his former post and
redirected to Washington. When
he opened IL he was amazed TO
discover that it was in reply to
his original request-sent shortly
after Pearl Harbor = regretfully
turning him down.
But what fiabbergasted him
most was TO see his own sigma
ture on this rejection. Somewhere
in the regime by which piles OF
scarcely read routine correspond
ence Is shot across an official desk
his own pen had committed the
faux pas.

Hobart Newman held that the Stella
Ladies Shop, 1926 Pennsylvania

300 Offer Premises
For Tire inspection
Program in D. {.
DeodIine for Filing
Applications Is
Next Monday

More than 300 proprietors of gas
oline stations and garages here have
offered their premises as stations for
the tire inspection program, which
goes into effect December l, the
local Price Administration ONCE re-
ported today.
Deadline for filing applications by
prcprietors Is next Monday. The
pisces Niiefe motorists may go for
the first Of the three annual tire in
spections required by the OPA prob
ably viii be announced some time
next week.
Whitney Leary, District OPA ad-
ministrator, is seeking at least 400
inspectors to handle tire examina-
.tions. Since many service stations
and garages which have submitted
applications will have two or more
men qualified as inspectors, it is be-
lieved an adequate number of in
spectors will be available when in
spections begin December l. Mo-
torists with "A" and ID" cards will
be given until January 81 to get
their first inspection.
Procedure Explained.
Mr.. Leary said applications are
still coming into his Office. He re-
iterated that it was not necessary
for filling station proprietors and
garage owners to file formal appli-
cations, but could simply volunteer
the use of their places in a simple
letter addressed to the local OPA
administrator at 5601 Connecticut
avenue NV. The charge for Wis
ual examination of the tires has
been set at Is cents for each pas
senger car.
A special board has been set up
to study the applications and rec
ommend list of selections.
Meanwhile, the local OPA director
today warned owners and operators
of trucks and other commercial
vehicles to apply for recaps before
they have used tires beyond the
point where it is safe to retread
them.
Truck Owners Warned.
"A condition of this kind cannot
be permitted Mr.. Leary said. "1t
must stop. Many truck owners and
operators in the District are entirely
too careless and Indifferent in the
conservation of their tires"
Failure to apply for recaps at the
proper time, Mr.. Leary said, implied
a failure to cooperate in the rubber
conservation program.
Under the tire inspection program,
owners of trucks and commercial
vehicles are required to have their
tires inspected after every 5000
miles. The first of these inspections
began this week and must be COM
pleted by January Is.

person filing suit against q concern
for violating OPA price ceilings.
According to the evidence, Miss
Hall purchased a pair Of nylon
stockings from the shop at $3.50 Just
IL hours after the ceiling price on
nylon was put into effect. Mrs.
Stella Chaltis, operator OF the shop,
testified she did not know OF the
ceiling, explaining her father had
died three days before and that she
was busy with funeral arrangement S
when the ceiling was imposed.
Her attorney, M. P. Friedlander,
told the court the defendant had not
received notice Of the price change
in the mail until after Miss Hall had
completed her purchase.
Judge Newman set the Judgment
at IS cents-the difference between
the legal ceiling price and the
amount Miss Hall paid for the hose.

More Express Buses
For Sixteenth Street
Forecast by 5ager
PUG Chief Engineer
Expects Demand Will
Exceed Facilities

Belief that additional buses will
be required for the experimental,
rush-hour express bus service on
Sixteenth street NV. was voiced
today by Fred A. Sager, chief en-
gineer of the Public Utilities Com
mission.
He said the test OF the new serv-
ice had not continued long enough
to be decisive, but that he anticipat-
ed the demands would increase as
persons in the affected areas
changed their riding habits to con-
form to the schedules for the now
limited number of express buses.
The experimental service was
started Monday morning, with two
buses leaving Eastern avenue and
running local to Underwood street,
then express to Sixteenth and K
streets NV, one of them going then
to Constitution avenue and Eight
zenith street NV. and the other to
Eleventh and c streets NV. Under
the plan approved by the PUG ad-
ditional buses were to be supplied
as fast as demand indicated.
Schedule Of Buses.
Under the present schedule, the
bus running to Eleventh and c
streets NV. leaves Sixteenth street
and Eastern avenue at 7:43 am.
and arrives at its destination at
8:25 am. In the afternoon it leaves
Eleventh and G streets NV. at
sos pm. and gets to Sixteenth
street and Eastern avenue at 5:45
pm.
The other bus, which runs to Po-
tomac Park, leaves Sixteenth street
and Eastern avenue at 7::20 am.
and arrives at Eighteenth street
and Constitution avenue at 7:55
am. On the afternoon trip, it leaves
Eighteenth street and Constitution
avenue at 4:4O pm. and reaches
Sixteenth street and Eastern ave-
nue. at SIT pm.
One Change Saturday.
The only change in the schedule
on Saturdays concerns the bus run
ming to Eleventh and C streets
NV. AS most Government Offices
close between noon and l o'clock,
the bus leaves Eleventh and c
streets at liza pm. and reaches its
destination at 1:40 pm.
As gauged by reports up to yes
terday. Capital Transit Co officials
indicated the maximum seated and
standing loads for the first two ex-
perimental buses had not yet been
reached, but Mr.. Sager indicated he
anticipated this measure would be
reached and that additional buses
would be assigned to the expert
mental service.

Favorable Report
On Measure Sent
To Budget Bureau

The two months impasse on the
Randolph bill to provide nursery
schools for children of working
mothers was broken today when the
Commissioners sent a favorable re-
port on the measure to the Budget
Bureau.
Although they made no official
statement on their attitude, it was
learned the Commissioners approved
the bill with some amendments

tee, reported as many as SO calls in

eral agency reported that 13 mothers
resigned their jobs in Is days be-
cause they had no place to leave
their children.
Meanwhile, subcommittee of the

in public schools "just one more
move toward Socialism, such as
exists in Germany"
The full committee rejected the
report and referred it back to the
subcommittee headed by Maj. Gen.

Objects to Schools Use.
The subcommittee declared that

authorities should have nothing to
do with day nurseries or nursery
schools either in peace or in war.
Gen. Fries group suggested that
day nurseries should be operated by
hospitals, medical and welfare or
ganizations. One member of the
Public School Committee, who op-
posed the report, said that 16 per
cent of women workers in one war
bureau had been forced to resign
because it was the Governments re-
sponsibility to see that these facili-
ties are provided.

action to stem the growing number
of designations of women from Fed

their time to care for children of
