Randolph Urges 0DT
To Permit Delivery Of
Buses 10 Arnold Line
Says Failure to Get 20
Coaches Will Cause
Hardship for Workers

Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee today joined
with Representative Smith, Demo-
crat, of Virginia in protesting to
the Office of Defense Transporta-
ton against withholding delivery of
20 new buses to the Washington,
Virginia g. Maryland Coach Co.
unless the line agrees to turn its
buses around at Rosslyn on Sum
days.
Representative Randolph in let
ter to Edward A. Roberts, associate
director of ODT. pointed out that if
the bus company cannot get de-
livery on these buses they will be
shipped to other sections of the
country. This, he said, would 'only
increase the hardship of defense
workers using this bus service" 1t
would, he said, further complicate
the already complex transportation
problem by elimination of additional
private vehicles.
Mr. Randolph said be strongly
urged continuation of the present
service and a revision of ODTs
stand.
II feel sure" he wrote, that the
officials of all the bus companies
operating in the Metropolitan Area
will use good Judgment in the
economy of tires and gasoline, as
we'll as save wear on their mobile
equipment, since they know it will
be impossible to replace It,"

WPb Will Act
On Alexandria
Hospital Wing
Approval Expected
Tuesday as Result of
New Dutu on Need

The Facilities Clearance Board of
the War Production Board will act
Tuesday on the WPB governmental
division recommendation yesterday
that construction be started on a
75-bed wing to the Alexandria Hos
pital, a WPB official said today.
Whether the board approves the
proposal remains to be seen, the
official said, although it is generally
believed that action will be favor
able.
The reversal of a previous veto
and the recommendation came as
the result of two conferences of
WPB. Public Health Service rep
resentatives, Federal Works Agency
officials and hospital and city Off
cials.
Deciding factor in the Govern
mental divisions decision was evi-
dence showing that Alexandria Hos
pital served a greater population
than WPB had believed. 1t was
estimated that the population of the
area was ll5,000.
Based on this information, we
were willing to compromise" the
WPB official said.
The addition recommended would
be constructed in the rear of the
hospital and to the north, giving
the hospital T-shape, it was ex-
planned. Expansion to the east to-
ward WASHINGTON straat hoe heep
dropped for the time being.
Purchase of St. Mary's Convent,
north of the hospital, will be part
of the program. The convent is ex-
pected to be turned into a nurses
home and training school.
The addition would be a four
story structure conforming to the
height of the hospital.
Robert G. Whitton, hospital ad-
ministrator, has pointed out the
hospital served patients as far dis
tant as Manassas, Va.

Leading to Bootlegeing

The possibility of a return to boot
Logging as result of liquor rationing
was seen today by Capt. Edgar Sims
Alexandria police chief.
Police seized 81 half-pint bottles
and one quart of whisky in raids
this week.
Violations of the ABC code are
rot uncommon, but the fact that
the liquor was being sold for S6 a
quart and $1.50 half pint, indi-
Gated the effect of the temporary
closing of ABC stores and the liquor
rationing program, he said.
Four persons were arrested and are
scheduled for trial in Police Court

Sasscer Asks End
OF Quota System
For Fuel Oil Dealers
Present Plan Makes No
Provision for Growth
In Population, He Says
By the Associated Press.

Representative Sasscer, Democrat,
OF Maryland, asked the Petroleum
Administrators Office yesterday to
furnish fuel oil to dealers on II
coupon basis to insure sufficient
and equitable supply of fuel oil
to Maryland residents.
Mr.. Sasscer pointed out in let
ter to Kenneth Darling of the
Petroleum Administrator Office
that the present system of allow
ing dealers a percentage of the oil
received last year makes it irnpos-
sible for the dealers to supply resi-
dents who are occupying recently
constructed houses.
If a dealer does supply new resi-
dents, Mr.. Sasscer said, then he is
forced to reduce the amount de-
livered to old residents, because the
quota system makes no allowance
for a greatly expanded area where
the population has increased
markedly and still is increasing.
Recently, because of the critical
fuel Oil situation in the Hyattsville
area, the Petroleum Administra-
tors office was prevailed on to es-
tablish non-discriminating rule,
whereby dealers were ordered to sell
fuel oil to any resident who had
coupons and money to pay for it.
This was a step in the right
direction" Mr.. Sasscer said, "be-
cause there were many residents in
newly constructed homes with small
fuel tanks that were being discrim-
mated against by dealers who pre-
ferred to fill one 300-gallon tank
rather than six 50-gallon tanks.
However, no matter how co-opera-
tive a dealer wishes to be, he can't
supply more fuel oil than he re-
ceives. To supply a dealer, there
fore, on coupon basis would correct
the situation"

Two jurors played the machine
after the assembled multitude had

After celebrating between 10 and
Is minutes, the jury returned a
verdict of not guilty.
Prosecutor Krouse said:
This does not mean the United
States Attorneys Office will stop

would stop prosecuting persons ac-
cused of assault If one so accused
