Of Drivers
Threatens Deliveries
OF Fuel Oil in Fall
USES Expected to Aid
In Locating Monpower
In Critical Situation

A shortage of fuel oil truck drivers
is expected to precipitate delivery
crisis in Washington with the ap-
proach of cold weather, it was re-
vealed yesterday by Lester S. Scott,
director of the oil heating division
of the Merchants and Manufactur-
ers Association.
Mr.. Scott said survey has shown
very critical shortage of drivers
is anticipated. Twenty-eight of SIS
leading dealers reported that they
will require an additional 200 men
to man their trucks as soon as cold
weather sets in and where they are
coming from, no one knows"
The situation is the result of the
customary practice of fuel oil deal
ers who lay off their truck drivers
in the spring and rehire new crews
in the fall. This summer, many
of the men, it was said, have drifted
into higher paying work and, in
some instances, have become frozen
in more essential activity. Hence
they are not likely to be available.
Not all dealers anticipate diff
culties, however, and the general
situation already is under eonsid-
Grafton of the local War Manpower
Commission office, which requested
of the men were given work vac
order to determine the industry's
needs.
One dealer said today he had put
his regular drivers to work on his
payroll IN other occupations, as soon
as the need for them was eliminated
with the approach of summer. Some
of the men were kiven work vacus
uum- cleaning oil-burning furnaces
while others were kept on in differ
ent ways, he said.
"As soon as cold weather sets In
we'll be hollering for experienced
men but we won't be able to tell
how many will be available unit
them" said F. M. Seaton, control
operator of the John P. Agnew Co.,
fuel oil dealers.
The difficulty may not prove to
be as serious as might be feared,
however, for the United States En-
pioyment Service has offered to as
sist lis in locating the manpower
we need" MIR. Seaton said.
Another dealer pointed out that
the average dealer cannot afford to
keep his drivers on the payroll dur
ing the summer and so they must
naturally seek other work. In nor
NAL times, he asserted, his COM
pany is able to draw on the fleets
of summer ice cream on stick re-
tail trucks but this year there is a
shortage of these men, too.

Drivers Rush 10 Beat
DeadIine on Exchange
OF Gasoline Books
Those Mailing Expired
Coupons Before Midnight
Can Get New Ones

Long line of motorists kept sew
eral of Washington's 16 ration
boards on the go early today and by
closing time at 4:30 a rush was ex-
pected as drivers sought to make
last-day exchanges on expiring B
and c gasoline coupons.
District OPA officials said mo-
torists who mail their expired cou-
pons and latest tire inspection Ger
tificate to their board before mid
night tonight can beat the deadline.
Despite Is per cent increase
over normal gasoline sales yester-
day, and a similar increase expected
today, spokesman for the Retail
Gasoline Dealers Association said
no serious inroads will be made into
the Districts regular gasoline sup
ply. The increase in sales was
caused when motorists chose to use
up the last of their expiring B and
c coupons rather than exchange
them.
While it was estimated yesterday
that only half the 108, 900 motorists
involved had applied for new books,
Ration Board ofiicials indicated
today that the rush late yesterday
and today would bring in high
percentage of the expired coupons.
After today no gasoline dealer will
be permitted to accept those coupons
designated as invalid. These in
clude ration books sat, 527A, 528
and 528A.
At several Of the ration boards
switchboard operators reported they
have been swamped' with questions
for the past two days. One official
said his board had numerous COM
plants from persons who said they
see no reason for having to ex-
change the books.
OPA officials had pointed out
that substitution of new books is
designed to foil counterfeiters and
stolen COUPONS. 80. e.. ..

PUC Accountant
Asks $4,000
Gas Rate Cut
compony's Rote Of
Return Is CTS Pet,
Hearing Is Told

Consumer rates of the Washing.
ton Gas Light Co. should be re-
duced by approximately $3S 900 for
the year beginning tomorrow, the
Public Utilities Commission was ad-
vised today by v. A. McElfresh, PUG
chief accountant.
!. At the opening Of hearings on the
sliding-scale plan for annual ad-
justment Of the company's rates,
Mr.. McEifresh said his studies for
the last year showed that the COM
pany's value was $30,6l7,787, that
the rate of return earned was 6.75
per cent and that earnings In ex-
cess of the basic rate of return were
$77,846. Application of the snding-,
scale plan would indicate that ap~s
proximately half this sum is avail@&
able for rate reduction.
A rate reduction of 5000 would
make only minute change in month";
ly bills of the company's customers.
1t was said. Should the PUG order
such rate cut. it was suggested, the
reductions would probably be applied
only to certain classes of consumers.
The McElfresh findings are ex-i
pected to be contested by company
witnesses. Argument also is ex-'
pected when the commission con-
siders whether the basic rate Of
return under the sliding scale plan
should be reduced to a point below
6.5 per cent.
-
The OPA, which last year waged
determined fight against the $301,-
600 rate increase, finally granted by
the commission and upheld In the
District Court of Appeals. was not
represented at today's hearing.
The company indicated it will
maintain there is no reason for any
decrease in rates this year and that
the present charges should be con-
tinued. 1t is expected to contest
continuation of the PUG ruling of
last year that tax payments charged
to operating expenses be limited to
81 per cent rate on taxable income.
Also, a dispute is expected over
the recommendation by Mr.. Nc
Elfresh that a sum of $127,475 be
refused as a charge against operat-
ing expenses. This sum the COM
pany accrued on its books in the last
year for payment of maintenance
and repairs to gas meters and MAIN
tenance of gas mains-work not yet
performed because of shortages Of
| materials and labor. The company's
accrual Is called a provision for
deferred expenses, but Mr.. Nc
| Elfresh held the cost could be
charged to operating expenses only
| after the work is done and the
| expenditures actually made

Central Ambulance
Control System Goes
Into Effect Tomorrow
Friede's Office to HundIe
All ColIs for Service,
Dispotch Equipment

Washington's new emergency am
bulance service control system, de-
signed to prevent delays and con-
fusion which in the past have
caused accident victims to be left
lying in the street without attention
for long periods of time, will go into
operation at 8 am. tomorrow.
Capt; Herbert A. Friede, superin-
tendent of the fire alarm system,
whose headquarters will house the
ambulance control center, an
nounced today that, beginning to-
morrow, emergency calls for ambu-
lances should be given by phoning
Hobart 1922. This will put the caller
directly in touch with operators of
the new system, who will relay the
messages to the nearest available
equipment.
Should a person forget the Hobart
1922 number, he may ask the tele-
phone operator for the ambulance
control headquarters by name.
Will Relay Calls.
If hospitals, police or fire de-
partments receive ambulance calls,
they will relay them or report to
ambulance control headquarters, but
officials ask callers to phone the
center.
New telephone services have been
installed and special operators de-
tailed for the new system. The
Commissioners yesterday approved
an outlay of $4,100 for the installa-
ton of two-way radio equipment In
the ambulances not yet equipped.
Fire-rescue apparatus and the
police scout car ambulances already
! have two-way radio facilities.
Star Outlines Need.
aNeed efor prompt dspatching of
ambuiances and accurate reporting
on accident calls was described in
stories Nft6 editorials in The Star
and led to action by District officials
and hospital authorities to perfect
7 the new arrangements, under the
leadership of Commissioner Guy
Mason.
Capt Friede said there should be
no delays or mixups hereafter in
responses to emergency calls.
With the corporation of the
public in prompt reporting of acci-
dents or other emergencies where
| ambulance or medical care is needed
quickly, the center should be able to
assure prompt and immediate serv-
ice," Capt. Friede said.

Schools 10 Continue
Student-Work Plan
Urged'by McNutt
Growing Number Of
Participants in Program
Expected This Fall

The District public schools
already have and will continue to
have the type of work school pro-
gram" recommended yesterday by
War Manpower Chief McNutt to
help students work in industry and
continue schooling at the same
time, 1t was announced today.
When informed that VINO plans
to advise all boards of education on
how to carry out such a program,
superintendent of Schools Haycock
declared 100 students already were
participating in District high
schools. They came to school little
early and studied until / o'clock,
he said. Then they went down.
town to work in offices, stores and
banks until 4:30 or S pm. They
received both a salary and credit
toward a diploma for this work
school program"
Growing Number Expected.
IF this plan is still approved by
parents and employers" Mr..
Haycock said, 'it will be followed
again this year" 1t would be diff
cult to estimate how many students
will follow this system next winter.
he continued, but the number is
expected to increase.
In suggesting such a system as
help to industry, Mr.. McNutt
emphasized that he was opposed,
on the other hand, to any lowering
of barriers against exploitation of
student labor. The District Board
of Education so far has maintained
strict control over the students en-
ployed downtown in the after
noon and has required frequent
reports from the supervisor of the
program, Assistant Superintendent
loff Schools Chester Holmes t3f%fy3
Mr.. Haycock added that many
other school boards have also been
following this system. Mr.. McNutt
promised yesterday to advise edu-
Gators further on the program be-
fore school begins next month.
25,319 Work Permits.
Numbers of children leaving
school altogether to take jobs, Mr..
Haycock disclosed, have jumped
amazingly during the war years.
From a total of 1924 work permits
issued during the year 1878, for
example, work permits issued in the
year ending this June increased to
25,3l9. In June alone, 4,861 permits
were issued this year, in contrast to
only $50 in the normal year of
1898.
The department of attendance in
the public schools could not esti-
mate today the percentage of the
$4,000 working students who might
be expected to return to school this
fall. About 4,s87 of them planned
to take jobs only for the summer.
Even some of these may change
their minds, however, it was added.
About $4,000 of these youngsters
never intended to return to school,
in contrast to a total of only 5000
in 1888 who left school for good to
work
