|WPB Halls Program
For Development Of
Washington Channel
Work on 4 More Piers
May Have to Wait
Until After the War

The War Production Board has
put stop to further development
of the Washington Channel here,
it was learned today. with prospects
that other work there, including
four more piers, may have to wait
until after the war.
The WPB's action included 65
flood control and river and harbor
projects throughout the country.
This Is in line with the govern
mental policy of curtailing work of
non-War nature to conserve ma
terials and equipment needed for
essential war work.
Work already accomplished in the
revamping of the entire north side
of the Washington Channel includes
two new yacht basins and one large
commercial wharf. The wharf has
been taken over by the Coast Guard
FOR Its Potomac River patrol.
Further dredging had been COM
pleted by the United States engi-
neers and it had been planned to
build the next pier between the
big new commercial pier and the
pier used by the District fireboat.
Debris had been cleared from the
river there and the place now is va
cant. This project would have cost
about $4,000 1t was the one for
which preference rating orders" ="
issued to the Corps of Engineers
for a river and harbor project" :"
were revoked by WPB
About half Of the water front
program has been completed, ac-
cording to the United States Engi-
neer Office here. Money made avail
able for the entire renovation in
cluded $3,500,000 from the Fed
eral Government and $389,OO0 from
the District.
Other piers which were to have
been built in the second half of the
program were one for excursion
boats, such as are used by the Will
son Line and Potomac River Line,
another for the fire and police
harbor patrol, one for the Norfolk
& Washington Steamboat Co. and
possibly one for Lorton. The latter,
however, may be abandoned.

The Nations transportation IA
cilitieS have met wartime demands
thus far, the Interstate Commerce
Commission reported to Congress
today, because equipment had been
well maintained before the war.
The ICC declared that continu-
ance of suffient transportation de-
pended more on adequate mainte-
nance and replacement of equip
ment than any other factors.
Unless there can be ALLEGATIONS
of sufficient materials to the trans
portation agencies to permit them
to maintain, renew and operate
their plants, so that they may con-
tinue their present standards of
service" the ICC said, more re-
strictive Government control of the

necessarily follow"

 Whitlow Wyatt traces Brooklyn's loss of the National League pen- nant last year to his slow start. The big righthander believes he should have won at least four more games, which would have put the World Series in Ehbets Field instead of Sportsmen's Park, St. ouis.
 Wyatt can't recall 8 training sea. son in which his arm felt looser. and he credits this to a visit in Hot Springs. He never had a poor sea- son following trip to the Arkansas Spa, and links his failure to get going earlier in Io42 to his neglect in not preparing at the famous fountain of youth.
