beach picnics, but he didn't see
them any more.
Not that Mary gave him any
dates, because he hadn't screwed
up sufficient courage TO ask her
for any.
She was pestered enough by the
regulars at Bennys. especially by
one Roger Hemphill, for whom
Maury took an intense dislike.
Hemphill was a film extra, whom
his father back home supported
rather well. At the stage of the
game about which / am writing,
Hemphill was of the Victor Ma
ture school of cinema thought.
He was handsome devil, Ill
admit, and he knew it only too
well. I'll bet he spent an hour
before the mirror each morning
before ne sailed forth for the girls
on Hollywood boulevard to admire.

Maury silent, and his expensive,
carefully Slovenly sports clothes
made the mechanic feel conscious

Mary the moment his glamorous

BOYS GET POINT

quickly caught on. They knew Of

and of the misery Hemphill's at

Gen. Lewis Terms
Capital a Vital Area,
Protection
Anti-Aireroft Units,
Troops Are on Guard,
Military Chief Says

Brig. Gen. John T. Lewis, COM
mander of the military district of
Washington, has been given assur-
ance that the War Department be-
lieves the Capital one of the most
vital areas in the country, and that
it must be given the best protec-
ton possible
At the same time, in an appeal
for civilian participation in the de-
fense of the city, he warned that
"a determined enemy can get his
bombers over an objective"
Granting that perhaps the rivers
do point out Washington" he said
that was just one more reason to
take greater precautions.
In a broadcast with Col Lemuel
Bolles, executive director of civilian
defense for this area, Gen. Lewis,
who took command of the military
district of Washington when it was
set up last month, answered Col.
Bolles' statement that some have
deprecated the importance of Wash
ington as a likely objective of the
enemy since it is not an important
center of war production.
Capital Held Vital Area.
"On the contrary" said Gen.
Lewis, washington is one of the
most vital areas. 1t is the seat of
our Government. Any serious in
terruption to the functioning of our
directing war agencies here would
hamper our national production as
much as if the enemy destroyed
vital important industrial war pro-
duction area"
He said the Washington area is
protected by anti-aircraft and other
forces with guns, searchlights, au-
tcmatic and other weapons. The
armed forces under his command,
he said, are on a constant alert, in
position "a hours a day. If an un-
identified plane approaches Wash
ington. he said, the anti-aircraft
force will be ready for action.
Anti-aircraft units, he said, have
tests at least once every "a hours.

vital points against sabotage and
against the possible landing of en-
emy paratroopers.
Forces Must Be Ready.
Emphasizing that the Army and
civilian defense forces must be ready
to swing into action Immediately,
Gen. Lewis commented that I'm
afraid there are too many who count
on getting a half hour. 10 minutes
or even minutes advance notice
before the enemy reaches us. I'm
afraid that when an attack comes
there will be no time for a leisurely
gathering together of our civilian
defense forces"
He pointed out that I'VE can't
expect our anti-aircraft or other
available fighting forces to protect
the city if the city Is wide open, il

A few came by water despite the
stiff breeze which made the Poto-
mac choppy, canoes and small boats
huddling under the lee of the or
chestra's barge. The wartime ban
on small watercraft in the area has
been relaxed by the captain of the
port. permitting listeners to paddle
to the barge during the period from
two hours before to two hours after
the concert.
-Four Of these received a ducking
when their boat upset near the
barge just before the concert. but
none was reported seriously hurt.
Two more were tipped from a
canoe into the chill waters an hour
later.

acting as center for the four
grade schools in it's area. Kenil-
worth will use the home of the
president of the P-TA, Mrs. Ruth
Heinlein. 1903 Kenilworth avenue,

at Kenilworth today presented the
school with 500 Defense bond

Taxicab Rate
Appeal TO Be
Heard Thursday
Drivers Using Old
Schedule Pending
Court Action

Washington's taxi drivers will be
charging their old standard rate, it..
was indicated today, until the Dis
trict Court acts on the petition be-
fore 1t protesting the new rate
schedule which the Public Utilities
Commission had ordered to become
effective last midnight. -
Justice Jesse c. Adkins today set
Thursday as the day when argu-
ments in the case would be heard,
but the possibility loomed that no
Judge would be available and the
hearing might 90 over to Friday. a.
The United Taxicab Drivers, Inc,
union of local hackers, protested the
new PUG schedule, which sets up !
a system of subzones within the 2
present zones, charging that it will
substantially decrease drivers earn-s'
ings. Instead, it proposes a new s
30-50-7 -70-90-cent rate scale with lit-it
tie change in the old zone :
boundaries.
Using Old Schedule.
Asked this morning if drivers off,
the union were adhering to the old :
schedule rather than the new one, u
Edwin A. Glenn, official of the :
union, said they definitely were,1 20
adding: -
Anybody who doesn't is violating
the law" =
1t is contended by Mr.. Glenn that H.
the petition filed by his organiza- q
ton stays the commissions order ]
until the court acts. and it was not r.
necessary for the court to inform
the PUG to make this legal. u
Gregory Hankin, PUG chairman,
earlier had refused to give drivers y
advice on what rates to charge. as =
serting he had received no order {
from the court staying application
of the new schedule.
Mr.. Glenn contended today that
there was no reason why the petit
ton before the court should not be
recognized, since both the PUG and
the National Labor Relations Board
have dealt with the union as the
legal representative of the drivers.
IF he's big enough to defy the
courts" said Mr.. Glenn of Mr.. Han
kin, we're big enough to take our
cabs off the streets. We don't want
to do that, but our drivers do have
some rights"
Keech to Answer Suit.
Richmond B. Keech, corporation
counsel, said today that a motion
for dismissal of the unions petit
ton would be filed in District Court
today. Earlier he had advised driv-
ers to charge according to the old
schedule until court action was
taken, taking the position that the
filing of the petition by the union
stayed the PUG order.
1t is understood Mr.. Keech's mo-
ton to dismiss the petition is to be
based on the contention that the
union is not a public utility and
the fact that it did not petition for
reconsideration of the order, which
is prerequisite of appeal.
Meanwhile, drivers of the Com
bined Cab Association, including
Arrow. Bell. Checker, Premier,
Washington and Yellow, and those
of the District of Columbia Taxi
Owners Association, which includes
virtually all companies except Dia-
mond, had been ordered to stick to
the old scale pending settlement. it

on the stairs and at all exits.
Shortly after the program began an
anti-aircraft searchlight sent its
shaft up behind the barge from
somewhere across the Potomac, to
add emphasis that this was not
wholly the peaceful scene of yore.
Nature last night conspired, too,
to heighten the effect of the pag-
cant, the sky becoming a suddenly
cloudless blue dome as the sun sank
across the river, making con-

King George II of Greece, address,
ing the Senate today, urged a
strengthening of the machinery for
international cooperation after this
war so the world will not "be left a
prey to vandalism further time"
Above all else" he continued, "it

invasion. and the wrong -doers-in-
cluding those, who either for ulterior
motives or simply because of weak
ness permitted themselves to be-
come tools of the Axis-be impressed

The preservation Of freedom is not
the obligation of any single people
in any one part Of the world; it Is
an obligation of all peace loving

corner stone for cooperation be-
tween free men in the world to

our ships which have not been sunk,

The monarch said that Greece's

Greek resistance gave the other
United Nations seven precious

lights are blazing when they should
be out, if all reasonable safety pre-
cautions are not taken, and we have
no organized and trained civilian
organization to combat the effects
of enemy attack. 1t boils down
pretty much to this: a determined
enemy will break through and do
some damage"
To protect every vital area. he
said. I'VE have got to spread our
protective forces over many fronts.
That, in turn, means we may not
have at any one place an armed
force adequate to protect it fully in
