necessary in the case of the more
remotely situated schools.
Total Called Satisfactory.
Yesterdays collection brought the
total for the week to 48, 800 pounds

this stage of the campaign but fal
below the figure anticipated when
the collections really begin rolling in
1t is hoped that in another week O,
two it will be possible to ship out a
carload day from the schools. This
will mean 100000 pounds a week
During the previous campaign, the
schools were averaging 25O,OOC
pounds week so that the lesser
total should not be difficult to obtain
With many mills facing the threat
OF a shutdown because of lack OF
waste paper, it is said to be vital
that the shipments pick up rapidly
Salvage leaders believe that schoo
children offer the best source OF
help in the crisis If each child
attending school were to take to
school just the daily papers received
in his home, the desired goal of 1OC
tons week would be reached easily
and where more than one child is
attending school from one family
neighbors without, children can be
solicited for their paper.
Paper Shipped Daily.
The paper collected at the schools
leaves Washington on the same day
it is collected and often reaches the
paper starved mill the following day
Within week or two it is possible
that some of this paper will be

Final Arguments
Slated Today in

Court Expected
To Receive Case
Lote in Afternoon

Closing arguments in the Govern
ments fight to achieve lower power
rates for Washington consumers, in
cluding the Treasury Department
Procurement Division, were sched-
uled today in District Court amid in
dications that Justice Jennings
Bailey would receive the case late
today.
The jurist yesterday asked Gov
ernment counsel to go into the pow
ers of the court in laying down prin-
ciples governing treatment of Fed
eral income taxes in wartime. The
Government has charged that the
Public Utilities Commission rate or
der is, In effect, forcing consumers to
pay the company's war taxes.
PUG Counsel Replies.
Replying to Government argu-
ments made by Office of Price Ad-
ministrator Attorney Harry r.
Booth, Lloyd B. Harrison, counsel for
the PUG, maintained yesterday that
the Government agencies in the case
had been given fair and full hear
ing before the PUG last March.
The Government claims, however,
that the commission arbitrarily linn
tied the scope of the hearing and
prevented introduction of Govern
ment evidence attacking the sliding
scale plan of arriving at power rates.
Hits at Allegations.
Repeatedly hitting at Mr.. Booths
sweeping allegations, Mr.. Harrison
told the court that the Governments
charges were unfounded and that
furthermore there has never been
any effort on the part of the COM
mission to exclude any facts" per-
tanning to power rates and their
computation.
At one point in the arguments yes
terday, Mr.. Harrison compared the
sliding scale plan to a "thermostat
acting on the company's earnings"
S. r. Bowen, counsel for Pepco, in
formed the court that until revalu-
alton of the company's finances was
made the sliding scale plan was the
only answer"

'Turn-Around'
|s0rdered for
Arnold Buses
Fifteenth and K
To Be Terminus for
One-Third of Trips

The Office of Defense Transpor-
tation has ordered the Arnold
Operated Bus lines to turn around
at Fafteent hand K streets NV
after November Is one-third of its
buses that enter Washington over
Key Bridge. These buses now run
to the Arnold terminal at Eleventh
and E street NV.
ODT officials said the order, de-
signed to provide more efficient
use of existing equipment" will ap-
ply daily except Sundays. Officials
said that since the line already has
restricted Sunday bus schedules,
the "turn-back" plan would allow
too few buses to proceed to the
terminal on those days.
ODT spokesmen said the order
besides conserving gasoline and
rubber. also would provide better
bus service for commuters who
customarily take a bus on K street
They said reports of crowded buses
passing up passengers in the vic
Unity of x and Fifteenth streets
have been received by the ODT.
H. H. England, secretary treasurer
of Arnold-Operated, said the bus
line has not been notified of the
ODT order. He said he would make
no comment until he has received
and studied it.
ODT officials said an earlier plan
to have Arnold buses stop at the
Rosslyn circle and passengers trans
fer to Capital Transit street cars
has been temporarily abandoned. u
This plan was protested by Arnold
officials and by civic organizations
In Arlington County.
ODT officials pointed out that the
present plan will result in easing
downtown congestion and shorten
ing the running time between Vir-
ginia areas served by the company

Editorials and Comment
BOARDS MUST REMEMBER
WERE NOT ALL GENiUSES

This is addressed to a few of the war
time boards in Imperial county. Ration
ing boards for instance. And to thelr
employees, whose salary we all pay.
Remember, board members and en-
ploves, thar we're not all walking die
tionaries q information about the busl-
ness you're supposed to handle. Don
get curt or sarcastic when we don't under
stand some of the rules. Explain them.
Remember that our time Is as valuable
as yours. We're all, in one way or an
other. trying to win the war We know
we've got TO wait in line, and we don't
mind il because we know its necessity.
We know that you've got to follow GER
tain rules, and we can understand that
red tape which binds you causes some
delay. But remember that you're there
to help us get our business done the quick
est way possible.
Remember that we're not all chiselerS.
Some Of us are but most Of us aren l. We
don't mind that you take precautions to
guard against those of us who are utter
ly lacking in patriotism, but we do resent
bitterly any wholesale display OF SuSpl-
cion on your part. Some of us are m
clined to believe that the most suspicious
person is the one who. himself, least de
serves trust Please see that we don't
feel that way about you.
Remember that we like courtesy from
the people whose salaries are paid out
of our pocketbooks, and we have the
right to expect the same courtesy from
those others who have unselfishly accept
ed a job which pays nothing, but which
touches our lives very closely. Where
the courtesy is lacking, we are liable to
leap to the conclusion that it was not
desire to serve, but wish for power,
which prompted acceptance of the job.
Remember that our natural inclination
is to appreciate the job you're doing
and to admire you for the time you have
given up But remember, too, that it is
in your hands to keep this appreciation
alive-or to change it for something else
not nearly as flattering.
Remember board members, that you
are working for the best interests Of the
people-and that means John Doe as we'll
as Richard Bankvault.
Remember, board employees, when you
feel like putting up your chests because
you work for the federal government
Just who is the federal government. 1t is
the people-and that's US.

WISHFUL THINKING

Understanding our enemies is one OF
the surest ways of prolonging this war.
We will win quicker by being brutally
frank with ourselves.
The other day we read learned dis
cussion on indications of eventual col
lapse inside Germany. Part of it seemed
to be based on good logic, all of it SEEM
ed authentic Yet it was bolstered by
few woefully weak facts in some places.
It was said, for instance, that fear has
penetrated even to the army ranks. 1t
is reflected by official appeals to the Ger
man people 20 write cheerful letters to
the troops and avoid depressing re-
marks"
The trouble with that sort of thing is
that it places an uncaled for stress on
normal wartime practice.
The same kind Of advice has been re-
peated time and again to the people of
the United States by their own leaders
and certainly there is no fear among us,
nor among our troops.
Let's not twist facts to help our wish
ful thinking. Germany is going to be
hard to beat-we've got to work hard to
beat her. We don't need daydreams to
help us, however.

A NEW
WAR OF NERVES

(Ontario RepOrt)
The existence of substantial group
OF active axis agents in this country, IN
spite of the excellent work of the FBl
and other agencies, is suggested by lntor-
nation coming from the American Red
Cross.
In several hundreds of instances from
all over the country, families of soldiers,
sailors and marines have received tele-
phone calls, usually purpOrting to be
from the War or Navy departments, re-
porting falsely the deaths of loved ones.
The War department also is hearing
of such instances, and recently mention
ed one in which a mother was told, in a
telephone call supposedly from tele-
graph company. that her son had been
killed ON the rifle range at Fort Meade.
Checking there, she learned that the story
was false.
Such sadiStic messages could be the
work of crankS, but experts in such mat
terS believe there are too many for that.
They could stem from a few axis prop
agandists, but to spread their vicious
falsehoods so widely these would have to
use long distance calls, which probably
could be traced.
1t is clear that a substantial force OF
NaZi representatives, Strategically placed
around the country is working under or
ders to undermine American morale by
such methods
A battle of nerves like this could do
great harm before our alert, capable anti
sabotage agencies could clean up the
enemy agents responsible.
Any such story by telephone is false.
The government reports casualties as
fast as they are learned, withholding
none from the families for reasons OF
morale 1t never telephones the notices,
or permits them to be telephOned.

MUSSOLiNI SHORN

(Berkeley Gazette)
Albanian independence is one of this
nations aims AS the word gets abroad,
it should add to the Italian troubles IN
that country.
Unrest is increasing in Albania. In
Tirana, capital of the conquered Italian
province guerilas recently killed 700
italians. The tottering of Musso linis en-
pire on North Africa, following upon the
complete loss of all his territory on the
Red Sea, bids fair to bring about the free
dom of Italy's one possession in Europe.
Loss of Albania would be just retri-
button. In true Axis style the Italians
had made treaty in 1920, promising to
safeguard Albanian independence. On
good Friday of 1889 Mussolini broke his
country's word and occupied his neigh
bor's land This was inexcusable aggres-
sion, precisely like the Italian conquest
of Tripoli.
Here then, is what 20 years of Fasclsm
have brought to Italy: complete loss, al
ready achieved or pending, of all terri
tory without her borders, and as Tar as
Italy is concerned, absolute conquest by
Germany without battle. And once
upon a time rather prominent Americans
