Pleasure Driving Ban
Will Be Enforced,
District 0PA Warns
Police Asked to Aid ,
Drive to End Misuse
Of B and G Rution Book:

The District OPA today warned
the motoring public of the Serious
ness of the gasoline situation" and
promised that the new pleasure
driving ban, announced yesterday
by Price Administrator Prentiss M.
Brown, would be enforced ito the
letter"
Robert K. Thompson. District
OPA director. said all police officials
who have jurisdiction within the
District were being asked to CO.
operate in the new campaign aimed
at motorists with B and C books
who misuse their supplemental ra-
tions. He added that these enforce
ment agencies would be requested
to file reports with the local OPA
Office and that police officials out
side the District were being asked
to send in reports of suspected viola
tions involving automobiles with
District tags.
In a further effort to end black
market operations in gasoline, Mr..
Thompson said OPA inspectors in
tend to keep a close watch over
service stations to see that no gaso-
line is sold illegally. Special at
tention will be given, he pointed
out, to motorists who come in with
loose coupons and to drivers of
passenger cars who try to redeem
1T" stamps, issued only for COM
mercial vehicles.
The new pleasure-driving ban was
announced by Mr.. Brown yesterday
because of the seriousness of the
gasoline situation throughout the
East Coast. Mr. Brown asserted
that supplies have never been so
low as they are now since the war
began.
Under the new system, only "B"
and &C" book drivers will be sub
ject to disciplinary action by the
OPA. "a" book drivers are per-
mitted to use their rations-an
average of only IA gallons per week
in the East-as they see fit. Drivers
with supplemental rations may use
their basic "a" rations freely, but,
Mr.. Brown said, if their cars are
observed too often at race tracks
and other pleasure resorts some dis
tance from the city, they may be
asked to explain to the OPA.

Lack Of Machinery
Main Farm Problem,
Food Chief Reports
Shortage Of Labor No
Threot to Production,
Davis Tells Byrnes
BY ]. A. FOX.

Farm production need not suf-
fer from lack of labor this year
if the potential sources of man
power are utilized fully, but the
farm machinery and supplies
situation is not entirely satisfac-
tory in view of the high food
production goals, Chester c..
Davis, war food administrator,
reported today to James F.
Byrnes, director of economic
stabilization.
The report, made public at the
White House, was prepared in re-
sponse to a request by Mr.. Byrnes
that Mr.. Davis give immediate at
tention to the problem of supplying
farmers with sufficient labor, ma
chinery and supplies to meet CROP
production needs.
Deferments Help,
On the basis of four regional con-
ferences covering the country, Mr..
Davis said. reports indicate that a
sufficient nucleus of experienced
farm workers will remain on the
farms as result of deferment by
selective service, the Presidents s
ruling prohibiting the migration of
farm labor to obtain higher pay
elsewhere and the War Manpower
Commission order to employers not
to recruit persons from the farms.
The report said the Petroleum Ad-
ministration had pledged full
supply for food production, ''even
though further cuts in civilian sup
plies should become necessary"
Farm manpower will be bolstered
by Government provision for the
return to farms of men with agri-
culture experience who are now in
essential industry, and by release
from the Army of such men who are
over 50 years old.
Workers Being Imported.
In addition, there is a national
mobilization program under way de-
signed 10 build up an emergency
crop corps of 3,5O0,O00 workers
Workers also are being imported
from Mexico, the Bahamas and
Jamaica
Mexico is to contribute $4,000
laborers. about 1000 of whom are
arriving monthly for work chiefly in
the critical fruit and vegetable labor
areas in California and Arizona
The report said farmers will be
more receptive to INEXPERIENCED
labor this year because Of it's proved
value and surprising efficiency last
year On the question of machin-
cry, the report said the outlook here
is improving. The War Production
Board, it continued, has agreed to
an increase in farm machinery
production from % per cent of the
1910 level to 40 per cent, and also
has taken steps to meet the needs
for repair parts.
Reworked Rubber Bottleneck.
Reworked rubber, the report add
ed, is bottleneck because of limited
processing capacity, though some re-
lief was forecast :" ~-'lthetic rubber
comes into production.
The outlook Is sood for putting
1914 tractors, combines, corn pick
ers and balers en- rubber tires, al
though this is not assured" it was
added
Mr.. Davis told Mr.. Byrnes that
programs are under way to provide
tin cans, glass jars and seals for
approximately 5,OO0,oo0,O00 jars 81
home -processed foods. Canned seal
ers, both motor-driven and hand
operated types, will be manufac-
tured in limited quantities and the
manufacture of 10000 pressure
cookers also has been approved
many of which are now being dis
tributed.

Women Named
Detectives 10
Aid Vice Drive
Plan Is Considered
To Ruise Them to
Sergeant Roting

AS part of continuing police
drive on vice conditions here, four
woman detectives will be assigned
to the Detective Bureaus expanding
vice squad, with the possibility that
they will be made detective SER
geants, it was learned today.
Capt. Rhoda Milliken, chief of the
Womens Bureau, admitted the plan
was under discussion and stated
it indicated further concentration
by police on sex offenses, particu-
larly where they concern young
girls.
If the women are given the rank
of detective sergeants, it will be the
first time in the history of the Police
Department.
Under the plan, the women would
work more closely with the Detec-
tive Bureau and actually would be
assigned to the vice squad. Woman
detectives now work in elght-hour
shifts, meaning that several women
might work on any given Detective
Bureau case, instead of one woman
carrying an investigation through to
its completion.
Extra Work Likely.
Because OF the extra work that
would result, it was thought that the
women should get the extra pay
that the promotion would bring.
Detective Bureau men work con-
siderably more than eight hours a
day.
Behind the plan. however. is more
than a simple question of longer
hours for woman detectives and a
streamlining of police Investigations
of cases involving women, it was
learned.
For some time Acting Chief of
Detectives Robert j. Barrett has
been increasing the size of the vice
squad to combat the increase IN
prostitution here and vice cases in
volving young girls.
Previously, the only woman as
signed to the Detective Bureau was
Precinct Detective Dorothy Douglas,
who has worked out of the public
relations squad, which handles miss
ing persons.
Missing Girls Are Problem.
An alarming number of young
girls reported missing have been 10
Gated by police and found to have
had sexual experiences during their
absence from home. Many young
girls have been found living with
men.
To combat this problem-and the
growth in prostitution here, police
have been working day and night.
Police. too, have encountered an
other problen-that of the young
prostitute.
The Army for some time has been
keeping a watchful eye on the police
campaign against prostitution here,
because of the increase in venereal
disease among servicemen.
Several successful vice raids have
been conducted by police and the
back broken" of at least cne we'll
organized gang.
The four women are expected to
be assigned to the Detective Bureau
within few days and Immediately
will start working with the vice
squad

Housekeeping
Aides Seekiinq
Commissioners Urged
To Request Funds
From Congress

The Commissioners today we're
being urged by officials of House.
keeping Aides to ask Congress for
funds with which to continue the
operations of Works Project Ad-
ministration agency that has provid-
ed home care for 2,O03 families
since January l, 194l.
The project was started here bv
WPA in 1888, with 20 per cent of
the operating funds contributed by
the District. With the closing out
OF WPA, the aide training center
at 323 North Carolina avenue Sc.
has had to shut down temporarily.
Some private funds to operate it
are being raised but officials are
also trying to have the program in
cluded in the regular District
budget.
Continued operation of House.
keeping Aides, Mrs Dean K. Brund-
age, supervisor, said, means "sav-
ing to the taxpayers of the District
through release of hospital beds
and the saving of money that other
foster care of children of i'll par
ents."
Social Agencies Send Cases.
The aides are taught at the train
ing center to cook loW-cost foods,
prepare well-balanced meals, clean
house, do mending and laundry
work, bathe and feed infants and
practice simple bedside care by
carrying out instructions of doctors
and nurses All cases were sent to
Housekeeping Aides through recog-
nized social agencies. At no time
during its 27 months existence have
the Aides been able to meet all the
demands made upon them, Mrs.
Bruntlage said
An aide is sent to a home where
the homemaker is incapacitated or
absent because of illness. Approx
mately 352 women, white and COL
ored, have been trained for this
service, but today the number being
trained has dWindled to less than 80,
| Mrs. Brundage said, due to better
jobs offered in Government and
elsewhere.
Specialize in Maternity Work.
For the past year. Mrs. Brun-
dage added, "our service has been
restricted largely to obstetrical
cases to relieve hospitals of the
burden of ward patients. Of 2,OO3
ternity cases. TIA were due to illness
of the mother, 10 were motherless
homes and II cases were due to
acute illness of an aged or chronic
ally i'll person.
Pointing out that "the families we
assist are needy Mrs. Brundage
cited a saving to taxpayers that
resulted from the aides work.
In 1886, five children of an i'll
mother were put in foster homes at
a cost of SIS a week each for six
weeks, or total of $3.50 paid out of
District funds. Recently this moth
er, Mrs. Brundage said, gave birth
to seventh child in her home. One
OF the Housekeeping Aides took care
OF the family of nine for three weeks
at cost of about $38, and no hos
pltalization was required.
Sees Saving of S39.264.
Figuring the average maternity
cost at Gallinger Hospital on a basis
of 81 day for eight days, Mrs.
Brundage said services given by
| Housekeeping Aides would have coct
the District government S39264, in
addition to the cost of foster care
that some cases would have re-
quired.
Forty-one per cent of the women
trained as Housekeeping Aides are
white and SO per cent are colored,
Mrs. Brundage added.
