Montgomery Will Get
Supervised Play Plan

The Maryland National Park and
Planning Commission and the Mont
gomery County Board of Education
are cooperating in a general plan to
provide all-day supervised recreation
and midday feeding to Sabotage
children throughout the suburban
area Of the county, Park Commits.
Sloner E. Brooke Lee told the Advi-
sorry Board Of the Bethesda-C Chevy
Chase Recreation Center last night.
Commissioner Lee said the two
agencies felt that supervised recrea-
ton for children Is more important
during war than in normal times
because of the limitation on travel
and vacation facilities and a general
feeling OF unrest among children,
Existing programs will be supple
mented and new ones worked out In
communities expressing a need for
them, he said.
The communities will be expected
to contribute as much to the pro-
gram this year as they did last year,
he explained. Public funds will be
used largely to provide recreational
leadership and supervision.
The law under which the commits
sion operates has been amended to
allow the commission to participate
in recreational programs carried out
on school properties. Consequently
g. maximum use will be made this
year of school cafeterias, assembly
halls, gymnasia and schoolrooms
during rainy weather, Commissioner
Lee said.

City Heads Halt
FireEscape
/ WPB Recommends
Wooden Equipment
| In Steel Shortage

Local rooming house operators,
relieved, at least temporarily, from
the threat of prosecution for non
compliance with fire safety regula-
tons, today awaited the next move
by District officials.
The Commissioners late yesterday
announced through Engineer Com
missioner Charles w. Kutz that they
were abandoning their SEVERAL
weeks-old drive against the 1,780
rooming, boarding and apartment
house operators who have been de-
MED licenses on fire safety grounds.
Disclosure of the sudden halt In
the campaign to force operators into
compliance with fire regulations
came just as police and fire in
spectors were prepared to make
follow-up inspections Of rooning
houses.
Inspections were to be made yes
terday in three police precincts and
were expected to produce several
test cases in court.
Prosecutions Held Up.
The Commissioners statement,
however, said that "for the time be-
Ing and until further notice" there
will be no prosecution of landlords
who continue to operate though de-
MED licenses because of fire law Ho-
lations.
A high official at the District
Building said the Commissioners de-
c1ded to halt attempts at prosecution
| because Of letter received last
week from the War Production
Board. The letter advised that only
limited amount of steel would be
allocated for fire escapes in the Dis
trict and that no steel could be made
available for fire extinguishers or
gongs, it was said.
This same letter from the WPB
recommended that the Commits
sioners amend regulations to permit
| use OF wooden fire escapes instead
OF steel on all buildings no more
than three stories high. This change
In the fire safety laws is now under
study by District officials who are
awaiting a report from the Bureau
OF Standards as to the practicability
OF wooden fire escapes.
Text of Statement.
The text of the Commissioners
statement, released late yesterday
after conference between Commits
sioner Kutz and Acting Corporation
Counsel Vernon West, was as fol-
lows:
THE Commissioners have directed
the Regulations Committee to con-
slider, in the light of the limitations
imposed by the War Production
Board on the procuring of certain
materials, the revision of existing
regulations relating to means Of
egress and fire safety appliances in
existing buildings converted to use
as apartment houses, lodging, ROOM
ing and boarding houses.
For the time being and until
further notice, the Commissioners
will not prosecute for failure to OBJ
tain licenses the operators of apart
ment houses, lodging, rooming and
boarding houses whose, licenses have
been denied through failure to COM
ply with the provisions of existing
regulations.
ANY such operator whose license
has been denied for any other rea-
son will be prosecuted for operating
without license"

90-Day loss
Test Ordered
For ". & 0. D.
Hearing Moy Then
Be Held on Hating
Commuter Train

The washington & Old Dominion
Railroad has been advised by the
State Corporation Commission that
If losses in connection with the
operation of passenger service be-
tween Leesburg and Rosslyn con-
tinue substantial to the end of g
90-day test period, hearing will be
set to determine If the line may
discontinue its service, it was learned
today.
The commissions order followed
report by the railroad that the
service showed a $498.35 deficit at
the end of the first 30-day period of
operation. w. & o. D. requested
the commission to hand down an
order to discontinue the service at
the end of 60-day trial.
In its order to the railroad, the
commission pointed out that a CO.
day trial period is not of sufficient
length to determine fully the pos
sibilities of the service. It added
that If losses continue substantial"
at the end of 80 days, hearing
would then be set to decide if the
commuter train would be discon-
tinued.
1856 Passengers Carried.
John S. Brookes, jr., chairman
Of the Emergency Transportation
Committee for Northern Virginia,
said G. c. Baggett, vice president
and general manager of w. &
o. D., reported that 1896 passengers
were carried during the first 80 days
at loss of the line of $498.35. He
said miscellaneous expenses, in
Guiding the establishment of a re-
serve fund, the purchase of uni
forms, printing and other items,
were listed as $1,465.47.
Mr.. Brookes said that from in
formation supplied by Mr.. Baggett
he estimated the company's top
tax rate for income and excess
profits to be 80 per cent. He said
this meant that the actual loss to
the railroad from its operation of
the passenger service for 80 DAYS
was about 500, since approximately
30 per cent of the total loss repre-
sented tax saving.
Figures Equipment Equity.
Mr.. Brookes said he understood
that a $25 daily rental fee, paid the
Pennsylvania Railroad for the use
OF the passenger equipment, could
be applied to the purchase price If
the w. & o. D. decided to buy the
commuter train. Thus, he added,
the line has built up a $3.50 equity
in the equipment at the end of the
30-day period
He also said it did not seem
proper for the miscellaneous ex-
penses to be charged against the
trial operation period, since this
cost ordinarily would be prorated
over a longer period If the service
were set up on a permanent basis.
Mr.. Brookes said he had written
MI. Baggett that under the cir
cumstances, $100-a-month oper-
ating loss during the trial period
does not seem excessive and that he
would oppose suspension of the
service at the end of the 80 DAYS,
He said a copy of his letter was sent
TO the commission at Richmond

In presenting the Treasury De-
partment award to Mr.. Rockwell,
Undersecretary Bell praised the ar
fist as one who paints in a Ian
guage all Americans understand.
Paintings Described Over Air.
Lowell Thomas served as master OF
ceremonies for the radio program
and described the paintings Free
dom of Speech, Freedom of Worship
Freedom From Want and Freedom

Mr.. Rockwell, accepting the Treas
ury award, said his Vermont friends
and neighbors were models for the
pictures. The inspiration for the
series, he said, came from President
Roosevelt's message to Congress on
the subject of the four freedoms.
Charles B. Dulcan, ST., vice presi-
dent and general manager of the
Hecht c., opened the program with
an explanation of the important role
of the storekeeper in wartime life.
American retailers, he said, have
positive obligation to carry a full
share Of the burden, not only in the
selling of War bonds and stamps, but
also in support Of all governmental
war activity.
Il feel that I may speak for all our
fellow retailers when I say that we
recognize definite responsibility to
do our full part in furtherance OF
the national war and home front
effort, he declared.
War BoAd Speakers Heard.
Speeches in behalf of the current
Second War Loan drive were made
by Hugh Lynch, vice chairman of the
District War Finance Committee
and Robert w. Coyne, national field
director of the war savings staff.
Music by Leo Reisman's Orchestra
and songs by Lansing Hatfield and
Anna Kaskas Of the Metropolitan
Opera Co. completed the program.
