Transportation Will Soon Be
 Tough Issue; Viewed with Alarm

WASHINGTON = While some folks are fddng around making jokes about tire and automobile ration ing and the prospective shortage of motor fuel along the northeastern Seaboard lot of federal officials and leaders in the transportation industries are really viewing with alarm" There are, they say, several phases of national defense that the priorities boys seemed to have overlooked when they knocked auto production down to zero and made tires more precious than diamonds. It's only question of days when re- treads and recapS will also drop into the ration box and it's only question of months before these short ages are going to be hammered home with ven geance. What is going to happen then in some vital defense centerS is not pure conjecture, but matter Of facts and figures that the surface almost undenable
 For example, preliminary survey by one national organization dscloSes that:
 Access to one of the larger tank plants is ENTIRELY by passenger cars. Here 1900 workers drive an av- craze of 20 miles day now and by midsummer 3 500 additional workers will be employed.
 At of the navy yards 5000 workers travel more than so miles round trip daily to get to and from work
 At one of the largest arcaft engine plants 84 per cent of employees commute by automobile and under circumstances could more than half of these get there by other means.
 This same survey reports that there are 2,320 cities and towns in the country, with 12,500,000 persons without any form of transportation and solely dependent upon passenger automobiles for getting about.
 As for defense plants serviced by buses, one that now is receiving 23 regular bus trips and 89 special ones at peak hours daily is typical
 To go into the vast increases in truck and trailer because of the big Stepup in farm production, coal wood pulp lumber etc, and because of the increased trucking of materials is merely to enlarge the picture almost beyond comprehension.
 Passenger car production has practically ceased truck production for civilian purposes may stop in March April; civilian bus production is well below normal in spite of the huge orders backed up for months; the rubber situation is well known and the threat of parts shortage may become reality any moment.
 The situation isn't hopeless What is worrying gov ernment and transportation company officials is that the public is taking it with such compacency and that the response to pleas for conservation have been al most nil Several of the auto and transportation gapizations now battling to get Joseph B Eastman director of defense transportation made member of the production board with authority to correlate and have definite say in highway, railway waterway arWay pipeline and commuter transportation; in de- fense plant housing, staggered working hours, em inaton of traffic botlenecks, in pooling private and public transportation for both passengers and freight and in allocaton of priority materials for transporta tion = By Jack Stinnett
