0'Conor Predicts Cul
In Minute Men Rolls
Size of Organization
Will Hinge on Needs
BY the Associated Press

6y tHe Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Sept. "a reduc-
ton in the personnel of the Mary
land Minute Men organization was
predicted by Gov. O'Conor yester-
day following a conference with
Brig. Gen. Dwight H. Mohr, COM
manding officer of the Maryland
State Guard, and Adjt. Gen. Francis
Petrott.
Gov. O'Conor last week ordered a
survey of the States reserve militia,
and the two military officials re-
ported that 10,341 enlisted men and
519 officers composed the Minute
Men units.
In determining the final strength
of the organization, Gov. O'Conor
said it would be based on the num-
ber of important installations in va
rious sections of the State as well
as the sensitive points that would
require guarding in the event OF
dire necessity.
Gov. O'Conor, meanwhile, had Or
dered that no new enlistments be
accepted by the Minute Men.
The military officials, he contin-
ued, were of the opinion that Min
ute Men units should be maintained
at full strength where large pop
ulations are to be found and where
emergency situations might require
extra attention.
Immediate purchase of ammuni-
ton for the Minute Men was author
ized, Gov. O'Conor revealed. Ar
appropriation for equipment will bt
made available, he said, adding thai
the battalion commanders in the II
districts in the State will be consult.
ed on the needs Of their units.

ice Resumes Hearino
On Trans-Pofomac
Bus Lines Rates
Defers Decision on Use
Of Overall Financial
Figures Of Companies

Financial operations of the four
transit companies involved in the
Potomac bus rate hearing, as
interpreted by an Office of Price
Administration utilities analyst,
were part of the record today, but
whether they would remain so de-
pends on final ruling of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
The full commission has deferred
final decision on the controversial
qustin of whether overall fnan-
cial figures of the companies has
any bearing in the case. Counsel
for the War and Navy Departments,
which are seeking a reduction in
fares to the Pentagon Building and
other military establishments across
the Potomac, maintain they do.
Hearing Resumes Today.
Counsel for the transit compa-
nies, however, have objected strenu-
ously to the introduction of figures,
including income tax returns. The
hearing, which reopened yesterday
and continues today, was halted two
weeks ago when ICC Commissioner
William Patterson granted the Gov
ernment time to file exceptions to
his ruling that the financial figures
were not material to the inquiry.
With the full commission appar-
emily not ready to rule on the mat
ter, the Government was allowed
to call the OPA analyst yesterday
and hear his testimony, subject to
striking out should the commission
later rule that it is irrelevant. The
witness, David Kosh, gave his anal
ysis of earnings of the Capital
Transit Co., the Alexandria, Bar
croft & Washington Transit Co.,
the Washington, Virginia g. Mary
land Coach Co. and Arlington e.
Fairfax Motor Transportation Co.
Drawing on information he said
came from the District Public Utili-
ties Commission and the ICC, the
witness estimated the local transit
companys operating revenue for
1912 at $24,045, 1868 and net income
after deductions for operating ex-
penses, depreciation and taxes-at
$2,773, ,488.
A., B. g. w. revenues were listed
by Mr.. Kosh as $2,240,897 and net
income, after deductions, as $241, 1854.
He testified that w. v. 81 M operat-
ing revenue last year was ST, 1853. .154,
a1ld net income was Sill ,096. A. e. F.
revenue for the year amounted to
S378,474 and net income, I2l ,812, ac-
cording to testimony.
Transit Aide Testifies.
Preceding Mr.. Kosh to the stand,
J. E. Heberle, vice president and
controller of Capital Transit, said
the company paid normal and sur
taxes last year amounting to $780,
596 and excess profit taxes totaling
$601 ,483.
Edward D. Merrill, president of
the company, testified earlier that
he had warned 1t. Gen Brehon B.
Somervell, chief of the Army Serv-
ice Forces, two years ago that tram
sit problems concerning the Penta-
gon would be severe and an extra
fare would have to be charged.
The local company charges 5 cents
for the trip to the Pentagon from
several terminals on the Washington
side of the Potomac. War and Navy
Department officials have indicated
they would like to see transfers is
sued on Washington buses and
streetcars for the trip to the Penta-
gon or the issuance of books Of
tickets at lower rates than now re-
quired for travel over local routes
and into Virginia.

New Housing
IsAssured 112
Evicted Families
CoIored Residents
Get Status of
War Workers

New living quarters have been as
sured the 112 colored families, who
have been ordered by the Govern
ment to vacate their homes along
the route of the proposed military
access road from Boiling Field to
Camp Springs (MdD airport, John
Ihlder, executive officer of the Ma
tional Capital Housing Authority,
disclosed today.
Because they are being evicted
by the War Department, the fami-
lies have been given the status of
Immigrant war workers." making
them eligible to occupy public war
housing projects, Mr.. Ihlder said.
Polled by the NCHA, 13 of the 112
families said that despite the criti-
cal shortage of housing accommoda-
tions for colored residents in the
District area, they have been able to
flnd new places to live, Mr.. Ihlder
reported.
Houses to Be Found.
Room for the remaining SO fami-
lies will be found Immediately in
four NCHA colored housing projects,
he said.
Twenty-Five will be placed in the
Nichols avenue houses, on Nichols
avenue Sc. between Sumner and
Sheridan roads, where the necessary
units are being rushed to compile
tion and will be ready within about
two weeks.
The remaining II soon-to-be-
evlcted families will be given homes
IN the Barry Farm Dwellings prof.
ect. on Sumner road Sc, in the
Anthony Bowen houses, near Canal
and M streets S.W., or in the Park
side dwellings on Kenilworth ave-
nue. and Hayes street NE.
War Workers Must Wait.
The living quarters that will be
rented to the evicted families, Mr..
1hlder said, had been promised to
colored war workers and their FAM
lilies. These war workers must now
wait until the first of next year,
when TAO NCHA units for colored
persons will be ready for occupancy,
before there will be space for them
in Government housing projects.
MIR. Ihlder explained that the
NCHA knew nothing of the impend-
ing eviction of the 112 families from
the military road area until about
two weeks ago and so had made NO
provision for housing them. When
the Housing Authority learned of
the plight of the liz families, 1t de-
cided to cancel its promises to the
war workers, who already were
housed in some fashion, rather than
let the evicted families go homeless.
Division Held Necessary.
Division of the families among
four housing projects was necessary,
Mr.. Ihlder said, because not enough
vacant units could be provided in
any one project.
Construction Of the 5000 units
authorized by the National Housing
Agency two weeks ago will greatly
ease the shortage of colored hous-
ing, but still other living quarters
will be needed here, Mr.. Ihlder said.
Two years ago, when the MIA
planned its war housing program,
indications were that virtually all
Immigrant war workers would be
white, he explained. The number
of colored workers coming here to
aid in the war effort has been
greater than expected, overtaxing
the already limited housing facili-
ties for colored people.

not being carried out "as originally
planned" in view of increasing juve-
nile delinquency. He advocated that
there be no police pickup of juveniles,
that hearings be held in judges
chambers rather than in court and
that a thorough investigation of all
aspects OF delinquent,s background
he required. He said that the court,
clergy, private citizens and civic Or
ganizations should assume RESPONSE
bility for the increase In juvenile
