House to Be Asked
To Rush Action on
Other D. G. Bills
By JAMES E. CHM.

The House will be asked tomorrow
by Chairman Randolph Of the Dis
trict Committee to put final legis-
lative stamp Of approval on the
D'Alesandro resolution directing a
special study by the Commissioners
to determine feasibility of an under
ground rapid transit system in
Washington to help relieve the acute
public transportation problem.
Adopted several months ago, the
resolution is back in the House for
approval of a change made in the
Senate. The House directed that
the survey be made jointly by the
Commissioners and the Public Util-
ties Commission. The Senate, how
ever, decided the Commissioners
alone should do the job.
Mr.. Randolph said the urgency Of
alleviating the transportation situa-
tion Is too great to have final action
on the resolution further delayed
and added he would ask the House
to indorse the Senate change.
Second Bill Pushed.
He also will ask the House to ap-
prove technical alterations made in
his bill by the Senate which would
make the theft of tires, batteries,
gasoline and other automobile ac-
cessories felony punishable by a
maximum penalty of Imprisonment
for three years. House approval of
the Senate amendments will send
this legislation, along with the
D'Alesandro resolution, to President
Roosevelt for his signature.
Another bill is expected to be re-
turned to the House early this week
after passage by the Senate with
changes made by the Senate Dis
trict Committee. This is the legisla-
ton designed to revamp the Dis
trict's public recreational set-up. II
the bill passes the Senate in the
form in which it is now pending,
Mr.. Randolph plans to ask the
House to send the bill to conference
to iron out differences.
The legislation provides for crea-
ton of a 7-member board to super
wise all public recreational activi-
ties. 1t would be composed Of a rep
resentative Of the Board of Com
missioners, representative of the
Board of Education, the superin-
tendent OF National Capital Parks,
and four residents of the District
selected by the Commissioners.
Features Explained.
Controversial features of the bill
as passed by the House and ap-
proved by the Senate District Com
mittee are these:
1.-The House provided that the
superintendent Of recreation should
receive a salary of not less than
5000 year and be employed under
a contract for one year which would
be renewable. The Senate Commit
tee has decreed that the term of
Office and the salary of the super
intendent should be determined by
the recreation board.
2The House provided that en-
ployes of the recreation board be
selected by the superintendent oi
recreation and approved by the
Commissioners. The Senate District
Committee ordered that the en-
ployes be chosen from a register
established by the Civil Service
Commission as a result of competi-
tive examinations.
Mr.. Randolph said he would ask
the House to name Representative
Hunter, Democrat, of Ohio, who
sponsored the recreation organiza-
ton bill, as chairman of the House
conference group If it sends the re-
vised measure to conference.

Tenants Are Expected
To Make Provisions
To Black Out Rooms
Official Rules Landlords
May Hike Rent if They
Furnish Equipment

Tenants in boarding and roomlng
| houses are expected to make their
own blackout arrangements Tuesday
night; if landlords furnish equip
ment they may be allowed to boost
their rates, Ernest F. Henry, gen.
eral counsel for the rent admins
traitor. announced yesterday.
The ruling was prompted by the
numerous inquiries received by Mr..
Henry, and he issued the following
statement:
The administrator expects that
every tenant living in the District
of Columbia will naturally comply
with all orders of the civil and mill
tary authorities concerning Tues
days blackout or any other emer-
gency war measure, and in that
connection, has indicated that ten
ants are expected to make arrange
ments to black out the housing &C
commodations which they occupy.
If they do comply with the black
out orders and have prepared thelf
own rooms in such way as to
permit the use of light, they are
entitled to have electricity furnished
as usual"
Landlords Must Comply.
The tenants are also entitled to
have electrical power for the pur-
pose of operating refrigerators,
stoves and other appliances. On
the other hand, landlords also must
comply with the blackout ordered.
and in so doing it is recognized that
it may be necessary for the tenants
to undergo some inconvenience.
For instance, it will be necessary for
the landlords effectively to black
out all portions of the premises un-
der the landlords control, such as
Hobbies, corridors, penthouses and
Easements. This does not mean that
tenants ought to be deprived OF light
within the building in such places
as stairWays, bathrooms and the
| like.
IF a landlord in his efforts to
comply with the orders of the civil
and military authorities provides
blackout materials for any portion
of the building occupied by the ten
ant he must do so in the first in
/ stance at his own expense, but OF
course he may be entitled upon
hearing before the administrator to
some slight increase in his rental
charges to cover this increased cost
of operation"
Information Schedules Due.
Meanwhile, Rent Administrator
Cogswell called on every proprietor
of a rooming or boarding house in
the District to fill out on or before
March 10 an information schedule
on a printed form to be obtained
from the rent control Office at the
Force School.
The schedule calls for the full
name and address of the true owner
of the rooming or boarding house
business, the name and local ad-
dress of the person actually in charge
of such business and all pertinent
data relating to the business, in
cluding premises occupied, rates
charged and services supplied.
Rooming of boarding houses start
ing in business after the order be-
comes effective must file the infor-
nation within 80 days Of opening.

LOS ANGELES, March 12-I
R-Some 400 women, rebelling
against masculine discipline in
the women's ambulance and de-
Tense corps of America, organ
lied a rival group from which
men will be barred.
The action was taken asst
night amid conflicting shouts OF
"the trouble with the corps is
men" and don't think we can
live without men-God knows
we can't" The latter remark
was made in evident appease-
ment to a malea reporter-only
man present at a gathering OF
200 women here. Another 200

Pasadena. The WADE has 1900
members in Los Angeles coun-
ty.
The meetings were inspired
by the custer Tuesday of Comdr.
Dorothy Hewes Bell as leader OF
four WADC units. Col. John
w. Colbert, national command
er of the 10000 member organ
ization, said Mrs. Bell was lin
efficient" that her units were
improperly trained" and that
she spent her time driving mo-
pink tea parties"
The WADC, he added, was a
defense organization with no
place for such frills.
Several officers in Mrs. Bells
units walked out in sympathy.
Comdr. Bell told the Los
Angeles meeting she wanted IAN
organization parallel to the re-
ouirements of the civilian de-
tense council, an organization OF
women who elect their directors
and run their organization in
businesslike way. Our worry is
for Los Angeles and our work
should be done here"
The group will select name
later.
Col. Colbert told the Pasadena
meeting the national group was
"too large to worry about los
ing a handful of disloyal troop
ers."
Women hooted as he adde:
Things in the case of Comdr.
Bell would not be to her best
interests if revealed" :.

and challenging Comdr. Bell

listeners.

was genuine American SPAN and
had almost forgotten that such q
thing existed anywhere. All around
me these were intent, fighting
forces.
OF course, they asked the same old
unansWerable question about the
second front. The corporal in charge
of that first gun in the battery
asked the same question and he was
another of these Red Army men I
would remember for long time.
Asked About Second Front.
We drank the toast and several
of them. There was friendship here
and that comradery which is only
known to men who face death to-
gether, day after day, as matter
of course. And once again the
extraordinary hospitality of the Red
Army and this surging buoyant con-
fidence of men at the front. This
Ukrainian giant of a Smirnov was
pounding the table with his fist.
If you don't start second front
pretty soon," he declared, I'VE will
lick the Nazis by ourselves"
A soldier brought in some Won
derfully good raisins from the eau
casus and plain cookies and the tea
and the dark-eyed, keen-faced
major asked dozens of questions
about America and Britain. One
OF them was the one which by now
I had heard very often.
rs it for a political reason that
they don't start the second front?
Isn't it more important that Nazism
should be crushed once and for
ever?" 1t seemed of some cheer to
these Russian artillery officers that
at least one American was con-
WINGED that this, and this alone, is
the all-important job to be done.
I asked about the Germans fight
ing methods on this front.
Without tanks the German in
fantry is nothing" the lieutenant
colonel replied. IT'S only with
technique, with superior weapons,
that they fight well. Without tanks
and planes, Fritz doesn't like to
fight at all. Bah! What a race of
warriors. Man for man, we Outright
them every time. Look at Stalin-
grad. Even with great superiority
in planes and tanks they still can't
take it. And wait until winter"
Commander Is Skier.
What about the winter?"
This winter will be several times
harder on the Fascists than it will
be on us. Our men are stronger,
much stronger. They are used to
the terrific cold and this year they
will use every lesson they learned
last winter. We have vast numbers
of veterans from last winter. Take
my battalion. We've had very few
losses. We've fought all along the
Kalinin front. My men are young
but they're all veterans.
"The Germans have had to send
a tremendous number of fresh
troops into Russia along every front.

Many Of them are S. S. troops. All
OF these new divisions have had
no experience with Russian winter.
And all OF them are deathly afraid
of it."
what are German ski troops
like?"

laughter again.

he laughed loudly and then gave
his answer. Properly translated,
1t was one word, Lousy" So we
talked. on and on, but it was long
after dark now and the trackless
prairie would be difficult to ne
gotiate at night.
The lieu.enans colonel escorted
us down across the gully to our car
and ordered his own to accompany
us. He was rumbling horoshos all
the way and he almost cracked my
shoulder blade as we said good
bye.
We'll meet you Americans some
where in Germany" doomed the
lieutenant colonel. But you'd bet
ter start soon.''
AS we ferreted our way across
the prairie rockets and flares were
shooting up all along the front and
their pattern glowed at intervals for
miles to south and east. Somehow
the front always looks nearer at
night.

observation post which was some
20 minutes walk from the guns.
At the doorway of the observation
post another captain sprang tx

medals on the captains chest anc
turned to me: Two" he shouted
another Ukranian-see." Then he
shook his clenched fist in the air
"Horosho, eh?"
And with another burst of con-
tagious, roaring laughter, Smirnoy
introduced the observation post.
A narrow, pinch slit ran around
three sides of this tiny dugout Just
below its ceiling. Just below the slit
there was also careful drawing of
terrain on all sides with every ele-
waited grove or other noteworthy
feature recorded and captioned in
regard to the enemy positions. The
lieutenant colonel swung the tele-
scope around, adjusted it and said
Take loot at Rzhev."
Shells Fail to Stop Harvest.
Rzhev, with its clustered roofs and
smoke of battle, lay precisely in the
center of the lens. After that we
made tour of German positions,
the closest Of which were about 2
miles away. Finally, we started
back to the battery's cave headquar-
tiers. From the rest of the hill, we
looked down upon acres and acres
OF rich wheat lands, their stubble
lying yellow and warm in the late
afternoon sun, and weather stained
peasants cabins sitting serenely
here and there, and patches of
woodland cropping up darby to-
ward the horizon.
"You see that?" said 1t. Col.
Smirnov. "Horosho, Ell? Well
never give up that-never."
Then he pointed down below us
at the gully's edge, where score of
women were steadily feeding sheaves
OF wheat into threshing machine
You see" he said. They've COM
pleted the harvest. German shells
didn't stop them. Ha, ha, ha."
Inside the whitewashed cave, we
sat down for tea with the lieuten-
ant colonel, the major and others
of his staff. A kerosene lamp gave
just enough light and again the
rumble of guns had receded to a
dull, unreal sputter like something
in another world. They brought on
the inevitable sardines and vodka
and then onions and then some
thing that I looked at twice. It
