Both Deny They Were
In Pay Of House or
Running Ferry Service

taken a man from North Carolina
avenue and Eleventh street Sc. to
nearby Maryland roadside tavern
Friday night. He waited for him
and brought his original passenger
and another man back to Washing
ton, where he was paid for both
trips and the waiting time.
The other driver, James H. More
land, Capitol Heights, Nd, said in
his sworn statement that he made
two trips, one Friday and another
Saturday. He brought both pas
sengers back without waiting and
charged them only for the trip out
since he had to return to Washing
ton anyway.
One of the passengers, he told
police, was reporter, who was
recognized and refused admittance
by the yard man" at the establish
ment.
Sergt. Harrington said today his

interest that will be reported on

National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, which opened today at
the Interior Department.

agenda for the october meeting in
wolves confidential matters, but that
a number of progress reports would
be made on recommendation to
the Traffic Advisory Council, studies
of housing and other projects af-
fecting the orderly development of
wartime Capital City.
Announcements will be made to-
day on land purchases and trans
fers. The Federal planners also
will be brought up to date on de-
velopment of the Districts recrea-
ton system.
To Inspect Driveways.
After the morning session the
members of the commission were to
inspect the Pentagon Building drive
ways and visit the National Zoolog-
ical Park and Rock Creek Park to
make firsthand study of the road
system. The agency had great
deal to do with planning the intri-
cate pattern of traffic lanes that
feed the worlds largest Office build
ing" in Arlington, Va. and some of
its members have never visited the
site.
They will be interested particular
ly in the development of plans for
the river entrance to the Arlington
building and it's system of ramps
whereby buses eventually will be
able to discharge passengers in the
basement.
At its last meeting the commission
ordered a study of roads in the Zoo
and Rock Greek Park with a view
to widening some of the main traf-
fic arteries because of increased
use. This study will be made by a
committee representing interested
Federal agencies, including the Pub

ton estimates for Washington and
its environs. Estimates as of todays
population will be presented so as to
offer a clearer picture of hospital
and housing needs.
The commission also will be asked
to pass on plans for a small tenn
porary structure to house cafeteria
for the new Federal buildings at the
end of East Capitol street near
kingman Lake. This whole area orig
lnally had been planned for the
development of a sports center, but
the plan has been abandoned be-
cause of the war.

Dec. | Dead|ine Asked
On Civilian Gift Mail

The Importance of mailing Christ
mas gifts to civilians by December l
was emphasized today following a
conference of City Post Office Off
cials with a committee of depart
ment and speciality store heads at
the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association.
The post Office advised the COM
mittee that it was facing the most
serious problem of it's history due
to the shortage of mail carriers and
trucks.
Edward D. Shaw, secretary of the
association, said the conference had
been called to map out a program
to aid postal officials in getting the
public to buy their Christmas gifts
earlier than ever before this year
so they can be mailed by December /.
Earlier mailing, it was explained,
would enable the post office to
spread the peak of the tremendous
pile of packages expected this year
because of the influx of Federal
employees who will be wanting to
send Christmas gifts home.
At the same time, the request for
mailing Christmas gifts to service
men outside the United States by
November l was reiterated.

One large manufacturer, accord
ing to an authority here, has less
than 1000 of its 5000 employees
making silverware. The rest are
working on war products.
People are buying up silverware
here, another department store
buyer claimed, simply to hoard.
Arthur J. Sundlun, president of
the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association, disagreed with this
charge. Householders, he believes,
are only anticipating normal
needs" Increases in sales he at
tributes to the growing population
of the city. People are checking up
on their silver and are buying pieces
to complete sets, he said.
One jewelry store official said
many persons were buying up entire
sets of silver, however, where for
merly they came in to order only
separate pieces.
Dealers experienced run on sill
yer a year ago when 10 per cent
tax was levied on such items. The
manufacture of silver plate was
halted last April, and very little Of

.0CD Advises Against Use
OF Phosphorescent Devices

Phosphorescent materials for out
door use in signs, stickers or arm
bands during blackouts should not
be purchased at this time, OCD
Director James M. Lands said to-
day.
His recommendation to defense
Councils and individuals were based
on three considerations:
l. The brightness of prosphor-
escent materials, even after a few
minutes of exposures to light, is not
much greater than that of ordinary
white paint under starlight.
2. Many phosphorescent ma
terials deterioriate so rapidly in sun
and rain that they are not suitable
for extended outdoor use.
3. A large proportion Of such
materials use highly critical chem
icals that would be diverted from
war production.
