ROANOKE, Va, May 23.-The
Sixth District Republican Commit
tee decided today to defer until
August % the question of placing a
candidate in opposition to Represen-
tative Woodrum, Democrat, because
I'VE recognized the difficulties in
conducting a campaign against q
candidate who holds an .'X' (un-
limited gasoline rationing card"
Earlier, the Republican State Cen
trail Committee, voted to leave with
its Executive Committee whether to
place a Republican nominee in the
field against Senator Glass, veteran
Democrat.
The District committee issued this
statement:
I'm discussing the question OF de-
ferring action for the time being,
we recognized the difficulties in con-
Quoting a campaign against can
didate who holds an TX" gasoline
rationing card, which entities him
to an unlimited quantity of gasoline
I'm this connection, it was felt
that conditions might change in
the next few months which would
alleviate this disadvantage and al
low the Republicans to put on
vigorous campaign and to get their
voters to the polls"

Motorists Warned
0nConverting Cars
To Commercial Use
Van Duzer ExpIoins Types
Of Automobiles Which
Nay Be Altered

Disclosing that several hundred
motorists apparently in an effort to
obtain more liberal gasoline allot-
ments, have sought to convert pas
senger vehicles to commercial use
since rationing began, Traffic Direc-
tor William A. Van Duzer yesterday
issued specific instructions as to the
types of vehicles which may be con-
verted.
Mr.. Van Duzer also announced
two other steps to bring motor veh-
icle operators in Washington more
closely under wartime transportation
regulations. These included:
/. Notice to holders of the red,
white and blue Federal Government
license plates that they may expect
no special privileges" on District
streets.
2. A warning to persons who are
cooperating in the Share Your
Car" program and to others who
on occasion carry capacity loads
of passengers that the law prohibits
overlooking front seats of cars.
Hundreds of Applications.
Mr.. Van buzer said that immedi-
ately after gasoline rationing started
May Is, hundreds of motorists ap-
piled to the Traffic Department title
section for authorization to change
registration.
Following ruling by Corporation
Counsel Richmond B. Keech, the
traffic director said yesterday that
any standard business coupe, two
door sedan or station wagon. which
Is intended to be used regularly for
carrying freight or merchandise may
be registered as commercial vehicle
provided the following changes are
made:
Standard business coupe: with
or without pickup body. The firm
name shall be painted on both doors.
the telephone number or type of
business shall be painted on the
rear deck; an outside mirror shall
be attached together with two red
reflector lights on the rear.
Two-door sedan: The rear side
glass shall be removed and replaced
with metal or plywood, rear seat
and seat back shall be removed: the
firm name shall be painted on doors
or body panels and the same out
side mirrors and refectors shall be
provided.
Station wagons: All seats except
the drivers seat shall be removed
and the same provisions regarding
mirrors and refectorS shall apply.
Must Be Inspected.
Mr.. Van Duzer warned that all
such vehicles must be inspected and
approved before an application for
commercial tags will be accepted.
In warning holders of Government
tags not to expect special driving
privileges, the traffic director re-
ported that numerous complaints
had been received citing instances
of negligent driving habits by truck
and motorcycle operators. He also
pointned out that Federal tags dc
not authorize an operator to drive
without a District drivers permit.
Prompted by reports that motor
lists sharing their cars are filling
them beyond normal capacity, he
said: "At no time should there be
more than three persons in the
front seat or more than four in the
rear. The safest practice, of course,
in regular passenger carrying
sedan is two in the front and three
in the rear"

Essential Materials Shortage
Imperi|s War Housing Program
Projects of Permanent Character Are
Out for Durotion, W. P. B. Official Says

a limited amount of new housing
Detroit reported need for $4,000
units, the situation being particu-
larly bad near Ford's new Willow
Run plant Funds are available for
only $1,000 units, Of which $500
are dormitories.
In Los Angeles and neighboring
towns war housing was held up as
the Army stripped projects Of ma
terials to erect quarters for $4,000
japanese evacuated from the area
Equally serious situations were re-
ported in Pittsburgh, Vancouver,
Wash, and in Mobile, Ala.
Regarded rs End Product"
The serious housing condition ex-
lists, the housing man said, because
the Army and War Production
Board look on housing as IAN end
product" one which should come
last in the production of war ma
terials
The W. P B. official quoted earlier
said Government housing men still
are inclined to look at housing as a
permanent proposition even for war
workers, and they are due to get
their ears knocked down"
Rumors concerning stoppage OF
work at Mclean Gardens. Seminary
Heights and other Defense Homes
Corp. jobs were circulated over the
Capital last week. George Williams
r. F. c. official, said he thought
the developments would be COM
pleted Mr. Williams stated he was
in midst of discussions" with the
w. P. B. about specifications for
Mclean Gardens. The w. P. B. had
not granted the project priority
rating.
A spokesman for the contracting
firm which is building Seminary
Heights, the 3.500-unit defense
homes project in Arlington, said
the situation was so uncertain he
lust couldn't tell what would hap
pen." Some of the $40 buildings in
the project are nearly half COM
pleted.
Alexandria Job Affected.
The large Metropolitan Life In
surance Co. development in Alex
andria is another job affected by
the materials shortage. A repre-
sentative of the company admitted
tough going" but said he thought
it would be completed. An Alex
andria ofIicial said he understood
the w. 2. B. was insisting that
Metropolitan use non insulated
neutral wire in electric conduits to
save rubber. This, he added. would
be a definite fire hazard" and the
city would be unlikely to approve
of its use.
One large Defense Homes develop
ments definitely halted, at least
temporarily and probably perma-
nently was Langley Village, near
Chillum, Md. The r. F. c. let 6
contract for its construction and
some preliminary work has been
done. 1t was scheduled to contain
about third of the 500 permanent
family units which Defense Homes
programmed for Washington.
The Capitals $500 demountablt
homes, which the Alley Dwelling
Authority is charged with building
and the program for erection of tenn
porary dormitories with Lanham bill
