Old Silk, Ny|on Hose
Collection Reported
Exceptionally Good
Women Responding
Loyalty to War Needs,
Store Managers Soy

Washington women remember
Uncle Sans war need for old silk
and nylon hose, and bring in what
they have whenever buying new
stockings, a survey of the city's de-
partment stores revealed today
Of this. the manager of one large
F street store said:
I'VE think it's exceptionally good" +"
Two weeks ago large receptacle
was placed in the first floor main
aisle, and already several hundred
pounds have been received.
The section manager of another
large store said: The collections
come in surprisingly well. Women
see our nicely decorated carton. and
next time they plan to come down
they remember to bring what they
have in the way of old stockings
War Motif Used.
Another store uses a warlike motif
Over the collection box has been
erected the carton face of a Japa-
nese, whose wide-open mouth forms
the aperture of the box into which
women slip their stockings.
Fire your old nylons at the
Japs!" says the text.
A fourth store has gone in for
mass collection. They have four
large receptacles in the shape of
Uncle Sans up.urned topper placed
in four shoe and hosiery depart
ments. Donations, they said, were
pretty good" The official of an
other store said women responded
in "proportionately a fair per-
centage."
Some Just Talk About 1t.
One large speciality store in the
high priced field said ":..'s not BOOM
ing, but people are turning in some
stockings" and the section manager
of a low-priced department store
was of the opinion collections
aren't even fair. 1t is definitely
not good. Women see our baskets
and talk about bringing them in, but
they don't do anything about it"

MayCurtai| Service
Through Connections
To Nearby Towns
May Be Curtoiled

The Capital Transit Co. today
| had been authorized by the Mary.
land Public Service Commission tc
discontinue for a 30-day trial perioo
through service between Washing
ton and College Park, Greenbelt and
other Maryland communities after
9 am. each day.
The authorize ton is the result
of public hearings on May 20 during
which the company petitioned te
transfer its passengers at its Mount
Rainier terminal, instead of main
! tanning through service, in an effort
to conserve gasoline, tires and
equipment.
Dean j. Locke. company engineer
said today the company has not yet
determined whether it will take ad-
vantage of the offer. however. be-
cause of the limitation stipulating
that such breaks in through service
shall be made only after 9 am.
Petition Was Opposed.
There is some doubt" Mr.. Locke
said. that we could prove what we
set out to do-that it would be a
conservation step-under the limi-
+. tations imposed"
He added that an early decision by
the company will be announced.
The company's petition was vigor-
ously opposed at the hearings by
representatives of the communities
involved and special citizens
committee.
Must Keep Complete Records.
The Capital Transit Co. asked
permission to discontinue all
through operations serving Belts
vile. Branchville, College Park,
Hyattsville, Mount Rainier, East
Riverdale and Riverdale in the petit
tion acted upon yesterday by the
Maryland PSC.
The company asked also that the
bus operation between Greenbelt
and the Mount Rainier terminal be
discontinued between the terminal
and the Branchville road, requiring
the riders to transfer at Branchville
road and use rail service between
that point and the terminal.
The PSC's opinion, the Associated
Press reported, required that the
company give five days notice of
the trial period; keep a daily record
of the maximum number of per-
sons and vehicles occupying or
passing through the terminal at any
one time and a record of all delays
occasioned by the use of the
terminal; hold in readiness all
equipment required to restore the
present plan of operation at the ex-
piration of the trial period, and re-
sumo the present plan at the end of

Court Is Asked
To Void Boost
Gas Rates
Henderson Files
Motion in Behalf
Of Byrnes

Price Administrator Henderson,
on behalf of Economic Stabiliza-
tion Director Byrnes, today filed
a motion in District Court ask
ing that the Public Utilities
Commissions order granting a
100000 rate increase to the
Washington Gas Light Co. be re-
versed and set aside.
Mr.. Henderson requested an i'm
mediate hearing. Today's action
followed denial by the PUG on Mon
day of motions filed by Sterilization
Director Byrnes, Mr.. Henderson and
Is civic groups here, asking rescind-
ing of the order and reopening of
the case.
The efforts Of OPA to prevent in
creases in utility rates, (which con-
stitute an element in the cost of liv-
ing. will be greatly impaired If the
company is permitted to increase its
rates to the consuming public Mr..
Henderson asserted in the motion.
Early Hearing Sought.
The court was asked to fix date
for the hearing not earlier than
three days after the date of filing.
The motion further requested the
issuance of court order to insure
the refund to the consumer Of
amounts paid or due.
The court move followed weeks
of legal battle before the PUG, in
petitions for reconsideration which,
under public utility law here. con-
stitute necessary initial steps for
court appeals.
Off1cials of the gas company have
announced they were prepared to
apply the increased rates to all bills
issued after last Monday, but that
it had not yet been determined what
action would be taken on bills
rendered between Stepmber / and
today. The PUG order made the
increased rates effective as of
September l.
Mr.. Henderson last week filed two
petitions with the PUG for reconsid-
Grafton of the case. These were
denied by PUG on Monday, clearing
the way for the court test.
Imitation Declared Ignored.
The motion filed today charged
that the PUG issued its order Sin
complete and utter disregard of the
Governments program to control
imitation and to stabilize the cost of
living by preventing all future and
avoidable increases"
The purpose of this appeal, the
motion declared. is ito save the
consuming public from this increase
in the cost of living Such purposes,
the motion continued. would be null
lifted if the company were allowed
TO demand and receive such in-
creased rates and the con-
suming public would suffer a sub
stantial and irreparable property
loss if they were required to pay
such increased charges"
