| Board to Session
in Silver Sprinq

Determined to beat the gas short
age, members of the Silver Spring
Board of Trade last night rode to
their meeting place at the Indian
Spring Country Club in a wagon
hauled by a team of horses.
Thirty-six men were in the wagon
and their president, Lee Robinson,
accompanied them in a pony cart
driven by Gus Ackman. The trip,
which ordinarily takes about four
minutes by automobile, took more
than half an hour.
During the business session, the
group deplored the delay of county
and State authorities in pushing
plans for the proposed improvement
of the intersection at the Colesville
road and Georgia avenue. The
boards Civic Committee was di-
rected to urge the county commits
sioners to speed up the work.
Forest j. Sprague, assistant ad-
ministrator of the services to the
armed forces of the American Red
Cross, was the guest speaker. Rep
resentative Beall, Republican. of

Alexandra Continues
Bus Firms Privileges
But Fixes Conditions
Greyhound to Enlarge
Terminal; A. B. and w.
To Provide Attendant

| Following public hearing on
traffic condition, at King and WASH
ington streets, the Alexandria City
| Council has given the Richmond
| Greyhound Bus Co. permission to
continue to operate it's buses on
Washington street provided the
present terminal is enlarged and
renovated within 80 days.
The A. B. & w. Transit Co. also
was given the right to continue using
the King and Washington street
stops, provided company attendant
i is stationed at the corner, and the
! Yellow Taxi Co. was given 80 days to
move its terminal from North Wash
lngton street to some point off North
or South Washington street
Complaints Brought Hearing.
The meeting followed several
months discussion of the subject as
the result of complaints. both as to
the congestion of vehicular traffic
at the intersection and of the
nuisance caused by passengers
waiting for buses at the corners of
King and North Washington streets.
L. C. Major, representing the
Greyhound firm, said his company
was prepared to spend s5,400 sub
Ject to the approval of the War
Production Board, to enlarge and
renovate its terminal on North
Washington street, including the in
stallation of sanitary facilities.
Mr. Major said every effort was
being made to control the movement
Of buses on Washington street, and
that he was confident that not more
than one northbound and one
southbound Greyhound bus would
be at the intersection at one time.
Will Improve Waiting Room.
R. T. Mitchell. A B. & w traffic
MANAGER, said he felt the main in
rsrsection in the city should be a
bus stop, and that he believed the
new Greyhound terminal and the
proposed USO on North Washington
street would help to relieve conges-
tloIl CduSeu ny passengers WdlIlng
at the corner. He said the COM
panv plans to improve the facilities
Of its waiting room on Cameron
street as soon as its new mainte-
nance garage is completed. This,
MI. Mitchell said. undoubtedly
would attract passengers to the ter
mlnal to wait for buses, thereby
further relieving congestion at the
main intersection.
A representative of the Yellow
Taxi Co., whose terminal is now 10
Gated on North Washington street
said that during the last month 4,55l
cabs left the corner, and that 2.745
persons entered cabs at the terminal
The rest were accounted for by cabs
responding to telephone orders.
Prior to the councils decision,
City Manager Carl Budwesky offered
the opinion that provision of trans
portatlon facilities to residents is
one of the most important things
to be considered, and that the con-
Venlence of the public should be
the prime consideration in regulat-
ing terminals, routes and stops.

many planned to conquer Natal on
the bulge of Brazil as a stepping
stone to the Panama Canal and the
United States, but was baked by
Brazil's speed in arming that i'm
portant air base. Alfredo Pessoa of
Rio de Janeiro said yesterday.
"Americans don't know of the
great cooperation of my country
in this war;" said Mr. Pessoa, who.
as director of the Brazilian press
and propaganda division controls all
printed matter in that country. He
added:
Natal was Germanys prospective
landing spot in this hemisphere
only 1920 miles from Dakar in
Africa. Germany intended to fly
troops to Natal and then take Pan
anna, but Brazil built Natal into the
second greatest air base in the world.
If we hadn't done that, Natal would
have been an extremely vulnerable
spot"

In Maryland
Boards Exhuustina
Supply Of Men
Without Children
Bv the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE. June 3.-All Mary
land draft boards will have exhaust
ed their supply of single and child
less married men by August /. and
drafting of pre-Pearl Harbor fathers
probably will begin then according
to State Selective Service Director
Henry C. Stanwood
He added that June and July calls
on the various boards were being ap-
portioned so that all boards in the
State would be on the same basis by
August.
The drafting of fathers is being
postponed as long as possible" Mr..
Stanwood said. but it is now appar-
ent that We will have to start in
Quoting them if We are to continue
supplying the armed forces with
manpoWer and at the same time
protect war production at home"
Reports Coincide.
Mr. Stanwood's report on the
Maryland draft situation conceded
with recent announcements by Man.
power Chief McNutt and Mai. Gen
Lewis B. Hershey, national selective
service director Both Mr.. McNutt
and Gen Hershey have declared
that drafting of fathers would start
in the late summer or early fall.
Under present policy, pre-Pearl
Harbor fathers are not being in
Quoted. However. draft officials
said they expected a national direc-
tive lifting this ban within the near
future.
Mr.. Stanwood said fathers would
be called up for induction in Sc
quence Of their order numbers. if
present plans were carried out. This
means, officials explained, that the
number OF children or dependents
man has would not influence the
time he would be called.
Dependents Do Not Alter Time.
A man with three children and a
low order number. for instance.
might be called into service before a
man with one child. but high
order number.
Mr.. StanWOod asserted that every
effort is being made to clean up"
the remaining single and childless
married men before the drafting of
fathers starts.
BY the end of July, the only men
remaining not drafted in MARYLAND
VIII be fathers, men with occupa-
tlonal deferments, physically unfit
reglstrants and those deferred spe-
clflcally by law he predicted.
The States draft director said
that occupational deferments were
ending for hundreds of men in
Maryland each month and that. as
these deferments ended, the men
were being inducted.
Fathers Must Make Plans.
The number Of single men who
have oCcupatiOnal deferments in
Maryland is now so small as to be
almost negligible" draft officials as
serted. "Occupational deferments
for single men or childless married
men are given only when the person
has special skill which makes him
irreplaceable or of greater use to
the war effort a. his present lob
than he would be in the Army"
In addition to those men whose
occupational deferments are ending
each month, several hundred youths
of the Free State become eligible
for service as they reach their 18th
birthday. However, these two
groups are not sufficient to meet the
quotas assigned to Maryland, Mr..
StanWood explained.
1T is wise for fathers to recognize
the fact that they are potential
selectees and to make their plans
accordingly the State Selective
Service head advised.

But that black mass out there on

Since then, he often walked the cliffs.
He knew there was no reef there.
He stood up to see better and
made a curious observation. The
waves were not big tonight; but even
then a reef like that, anchored to the
bottom, should alternately be awash
as the swclls passed it, or rearing
nakedly as their troughs went rub
