Questioned by Both

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, July 3.-The State
gubernatorial election picture re-
manned speculative today as both
Republican and Democratic pros
poets were being pressed for some
definite commitments as to their
availability for nomination.
While 10 leading Republicans
most of whom already had indicat-
ed they would not be available-had
letters asking them if they could
finance active, aggressive campaigns,
the outstanding Democratic prob
ables continued reticent about their
intentions.
The Republicans were sent letters
yesterday by j. Purdon Wright, Bal
timore County Republican Commit
tee chairman and member of sub
committee of Republican chairmen
assigned to canvass leading party
figures on their availability.
Other queries contained in the
letter were whether the recipient
would consent to have his name con-
sidered as prospective candidate; !;
what he thought of the Republican
candidates chances in the election;
how he proposed to finance a cam
paign, and whether he approved of
the methods adopted to canvass the
field.
Republicans Contacted.
Men contacted we're:
Theodore r. McKeldin, Baltimore,
Republican nominee for mayor of
Baltimore in 1899.
Galen L. TAFT, Chevy Chase,
former Republican State chairman.

Byrd Not Interested in Politics.
Mayor Howard w. Jackson of Bal
timore and DR.. H. C. Byrd, Ur;-
versity of Maryland president, yes
terday replied respectively to direct
questions of whether they would be
candidates for the Democratic NOM
ination, Il haven't made up my
mind" and II haven't any interest
in politics"
DR.. Byrd added he was not deal
ing in politics and I shall not talk
about politics"
Gov. O'Conor, although most
Democrats take it for granted he
will be candidate to succeed him
self, answered to the same direct
question that he was much too con-
cerned with matters pertaining to
Maryland's participation in the war
effort to give any time to politics

WPB Order May Delay
Delivery Of AIS Buses
And Streefcars Here
Stock Freezing During
Inventory Seen Factor
In Crosstown Decision

War Production Board orders
restricting manufacture of buses and
streetcars, pending a new appraisal
of inventories, threatened today to
delay delivery of 375 buses and 100
streetcars on order for the Capital
Transit Co. and to influence the
decision of the Public Utilities Com
mission on, the proposed establish
ment of new cross-toWn bus line.
Announcement that the company
had received notice from the WPB
to the effect that streetcar and bus
manufacture would be frozen" tenn
porarily after July 1S was made
last night by Dean J. Locke, transit
company staff engineer, after the
conclusion of a three-day public
hearing before the PUG on the pro-
posed Military road bus line.
If the WPB order means what
transit company officials interpreted
1t to mean, it may deal a death
blow to the proposed crosstown bus
line, for the time being at least.
Opposed on Two Grounds.
While spokesmen for many thou
sands of organized citizens had de-
manded approval of this line, COM
pany officials opposed it on two
grounds: That the line would not
prove compensatory within a rea-
sonable period, and that under in
structions from the Office of De-
fense Transportation it should not
extend any bus service that was not
vital"
Gregory Hankin, PUG chairman,
said at the close of the hearing that
it may be more than a week" be-
fore the commission would be In a
position to render a decision.
The transit company has ordered
400 buses and 167 streetcars. De-
liveries on Is buses and ST street.
cars are expected by July 18. One
hundred of the new buses were
intended to serve the new Wal
Department Building in Arlington
County.
Rationing a Possibility.
The WPB order stated that in
ventory of materials on hand would
be taken. It was assumed that
where there are balanced inven-
tories production would be resumed
shortly, but that streetcars and
buses would be rationed on a ma
tional basis.
In the windup of the PUG hear
ing on the crosstown bus line, S.
R. Bowen, company counsel, argued
that if the company could not give
desired service on existing lines with
available equipment. he could not
see how the commission could order
a major extension.
Nathan M. Lubar, head of the
Steering Committee for the Cross
town Bus Line, representing more
than so civic groups. said that since
the company expected some addi-
tional buses for existing lines the
new service should be promptly
| ordered. Ralph A. Cusick, speak
ing for communities near Nebraska
avenue NV. and Godfrey L. Mum
ter, for Chevy Chase areas, argued
for the need for the crosstown
service and new services for their
communities.

Built Before Civil War, Ruzed

Bethesda's oldest building was
razed this week to make way for a

two-story frame building at 681l
Wisconsin avenue was used as a
general store by the Darcy family
when William E. Darcy was ap-
pointed the first postmaster tor the
area on october 13, 1862. A paper
still in the possession of his grand
son, William z. Darcy, Bethesda

Gas Dealers Ask
0PA for Relief
From Shortage
Eastern Stutes Men
To Confer Here With
Rotioning Chief

Relief from the gasoline shortage
along the Eastern Seaboard was to
be sought today by committee Of
gasoline dealers. meeting here with
Joel Dean, head Of the OPA Fuel
Rationing Division, as II Atlantic
States faced a tourless July 4.
independence Day has been ira
ditionally devoted to motor iaunts
to the country or seashore, but trafnc
will not clog the Eastern roads this
year.
Even motorists who have saved
their gasoline quotas for three
or four weeks in order to have
enough fuel for a holiday jaunt will
find their saving in vain, as gas
station attendants, with supplies
running low or all gone, will be
forced to shrug, even at TX" cards.
Situation Tight" Here.
The gasoline situation here was
described today as pretty tight" by
Harry Wainwright of Gasoline Re-
tailers, Inc. He said "panis" buying
rushes in the early hours depleted
the daily supplies Of many gasoline
stations.
If the public only will take it q
little easy" Mr.. Wainwright said.
Most filling station operators here
expect to run out Of gas late today
or early tomorrow, the Keystone
Automobile Club reported after q
survey, despite the fact that most
retailers were limiting sales to six
gallons per customer. Some stations
already were displaying "Out Of
Gas" signs.
Most OF the stations will be closed
over the holiday week end, 1t was
reported. A few, that received new
supplies yesterday, are expecting to
remain open tomorrow and Sunday.
The committee meeting with Mr..
Dean represents the Eastern States
Gasoline Dealers Conference, which,
through its counsel, Sol A. Herzog.
has reported there will be virtually
no supplies of gasoline available for
July l."
Dealer Rationing Favored.
No plan of action was indicated by
the committee. but the conference
1t represents has consistently OPP
posed consumer rationing OF motor
fuel, favoring instead a program of
strict dealer rationing.
This holiday shortage has de-
veloped, dealers said, because July
deliveries are to be only half OF the
amount Of gasoline the dealers sold
in July, 1941. This cannot be OBJ
tanned fast enough to meet the
special occasion demand of the
July week end.
Meanwhile plans were under way
here today to insure a sufficient
supply OF gasoline for workers IN
essential war industries. It Is UNI
derstood that an increased allot-
ment is to be granted certain filing
stations in war plant areas, the
additional fuel to be allowed for
essential use by war workers.

position on rent increases. BotE
cases were dismissed, however.

on the ground the landlord hae
filed his suit for eviction on the day
the tenants rent was due and they
had not been given sufficient oppor.
tunity to pay it.

his rent had been arbitrarily raiset
from $40 to S4250 monthly. Th,
landlord contended he had agreed
to install a $160 refrigerator to b,
paid for by the rent increase Judg
