7 New Stops Ordered
For Express Buses
Petworth, Tokomo Riders
Aided by PUG Decision

Petworth and Takoma residents
who have protested that the new
express bus runs were a grave in
convenience won a partial victory
yesterday when the Public Utilities
Commission ordered establishment,
effective Thursday. of two extra
stops on New Hampshire avenue
between Seventh and Taylor streets
NV
These stops, to be used at all
hours, are within the express limits.
For northbound traffic, one Of the
stops is on New Hampshire avenue
just south of Taylor street, and for
southbound traffic. the other Is at
the end of the triangle formed by
the intersection of New Hampshire
avenue and Seventh street NV.
The PUG made changes on finding
that many passengers refused to
use the Georgia avenue streetcars,
preferring to walk extra blocks to
use the New Hampshire avenue
buses.
The modified order will affect the
P-1, P-3, PA, K-4 and the Petworth-
Takoma bus routes. The commission
said that with these exceptions the
Grant Circle northern end of the
express limits were not changed.
The PUG yesterday also ordered
continuation until December 81,
1914, or until the end of the war,
whichever is earlier, of the opera
ton OF the T-3 bus run into nearby
Maryland. This line operates along
New Hampshire from North Capitol
street to Sligo Parkway, in Mary
land. The line heretofore has been
on a temporary basis.

political clauses which must fol-
low very soon? Is it merely in
the nature of verbal agree
ment?
For the present, that point
cannot be cleared up. But the
understanding accounts for prac-
tical decisions on the part of the
Allies which otherwise would
seem unintelligible.
1t is an open secret that, late
ly, Count Carlo Sforza, who was
in charge of Italian diplomacy
and their ambassador to Paris
In the years before Mussolini's
March on Rome in 1922, was
about to leave for his homeland.
So far as can be perceived, the
Washington government did not
raise any objection against his
departure. But strongFobjec-
ton was voiced in London, and,
to support it, the argument was
used that Count Sforza's home
coming could not be reconciled
with the understanding arrived
at with Marshal Badoglio.
Lacks Military Power.
OF all men, Count Sforza has
been the last to feel surprised at
the attitude of the British cabinet
in this juncture. He can appeal
to popular forces In Italy. But it
never was within his power to
bring over warships, aircraft and
army troops to wrest from the
Axis those weapons and those
soldiers which Badoglio has been
able to shift to the Allies camp
with a success that cannot yet be
accurately ascertained. For the
present, the foremost care of the
Allies must be to look for military
rather than political help.
The commitments entered into
by Badoglio with the Washington
and London governments have
not been disclosed-not more
Evening star., 1943-09-23
Budoglio's Agreement

than the promises, if any, given
him in return.
However, there is reason to be-
lieve that he did not solely pledge
himself to make what remains of
Italian military power available
to the Allies and to stir up Guer-
rillas. He will also do his best
to persuade his countrymen to
help the British man their fac
tories and till their fields. Hitler's
Germany is filled with slave labor
imported from conquered coun-
tries. German production has
expanded to a degree which, short
OF the assistance from the out
side, it would not have reached.
Some setup may be found in
the contribution of Italian labor
and, of course, under the British
flag there would not be any imi-
tating of the Nazis' brutal meth
ods. Italian war prisoners in
England, judging from their be-
havior in the past, are willing to
hire themselves for fair wages.
In addition to the 650,000 Ital-
ians now held in captivity, fur
ther contingent of some 100000
men may be enlisted. The prob
lem of manpower distribution
which England has to face is
likely to be eased by arrange
ments made along this line.
Duce's Surrender Promised.
Prime Minister Churchills re-
cent speech explains why military
and political circles in Washing
ton last week sincerely believed
that Mussolini had been put to
death. They were cognizant of
Badoglio's word that the former
Duce would be surrendered alive
or dead. All suspicious cannot
be dismissed that the marshal
did not dare bring upon himself
the reprobation of thousands of
italians by handing over the
fallen dictator to an Anglo
American military court.
1t has been denied In the press
that Count Dino Grandi had
anything to do with the armi-
stice negotiations. However,
trustworthy reports are at hand
that he played an important part
in Lisbon as an intermediary be-
tween the italian mission sent by
Badoglio and the Allies repre-
sentatives.
Oddly enough, about the same
time, Nazi dignitaries in Rome
urged the marshal to allocate
some governmental function to
Francisco Nitti, the former Pre-
mier and anti-Fascist leader who,
in his Paris residence, apparently
managed to regain German favor.

The Army is spending more than

has announced.
Since July, 1912, more than $13,-
100000 worth of this equipment has
been bought by the Quartermaster
Corps for the Special Service Divi-
sion, Army Service Forces, in charge
of distribution.
Most of the equipment is for base
ball and football. Javelins, bad
minton sets, medicine balls, fencing
equipment, diving boards, darts,
boxing gloves and even fishing rods
are purchased.
Also distributed are playing cards,
dominoes, backgammon supplies,
musical instruments and radio sets.

Old Idea With d New Name

and localities. OF all people, the
judge of who should get the ex-
ira pay is to be the employer!
And the plan is to apply to all
the folks in the plant, those with
white collars and those with dark
collars alike. What is more, the
plan is to be flexible, and all en-
ployes are to understand it.
The plan calls for bureaucrats
to help employers who are too
young to remember the days
when extra work meant extra
rewards. Presumably it will also
involve the services of Govern
ment nurses to apply restoratives
when old employers faint upon
being told they were right ever
so long ago.
The idea came up last April,
and, with much fanfare, the
WLB considered its adoption.
Apparently the plan fell through
because at the time nobody in
Washington could think up a
good name for 1t. Then summer
came along, and the entire out
put of New Deal names was
hurled at Jesse Jones. But now
the weathers cooling off, and the
saps are rising again. When the
new baptismal name is found, it
may be I. p, and 1t may be
something else, but you may be
very certain that it will not
sound anything like individual
ism, or the WLB will not approve.
There are going to be practical
difficulties, of course. The Rus
slams had them with their pro-
duction plan called Stakhanov-
ism, when too many workers got
graded up, and the rest were
found to be just too darned lazy
to care. The man who got that
scheme up was forthwith
liQuidated.
Is there something in all this
that eludes common sense? Or
have all our troubles been name
troubles? And what name shall
we coin to describe the people
who delayed production, while
they thumbed the dictionary,
and who quibbled while Rome
burned?

Million Bales Of Linters
EarInarked for Shells
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
ABERDEEN, Md, Sept. 23.-Ap-
proximately one million bales of
cotton linters are earmarked this
year for munitions purposes and
each bale is sufficient to make 1o0.-
900 bullets, according to Aberdeen
Proving Ground officials.
Col. George G. Eddy, director of
the proving center, said in a state
ment that each of the bales of lin
ters weighs about $50 pounds.
Cotton is the basic ingredient in
the propelling charge used in all
battle weapons, ranging from the
caliber 80 rifle to the mammoth
16-inch guns" he explained.
"Other ingredients are then added
for stability and to eliminate the
tell tale powder flash that would
reveal our gun positions in battle. )"
More than 100000 tons of high
explosives and propellent powders
have been produced by Army ord
nance plants during the past year,
and these explosives have gone into
1,50o, 900 tons of bombs and 200, ,0Oo,-
600 rounds of artillery ammunition,
he added.
