Car Sharers 10 Lose
Extra Gas if Public
Transport Is Adequate
D. c. Traffic Officials
Doubt New OPA RuIinq
Will Work Out Here

Motorists engaged in car-Shar-
ing plans will no LONGER be given
supplemental gasoline rations if
public transportation facilities
are deemed adequate, the Office
of Price Administration ruled
today.
The order was Issued, it was said,
to promote more efficient use of
public transportation facilities and
greater conservation of rubber"
Local transportation and traffic
officials were doubtful that the new
ruling could be applied in the Dis
trlCt where bus and streetcar IA
cilities are already strained beyond
their normal capacity. Instead, an
increase in Car-sharing was adVo-
Gated for the Metropolitan Area.
Not Seeking New Patrons.
A spokesman for the Capital
Transit Co. said his firm was GER
talnly not encouraging new passen-
gers to use mass transportation IA
cilities during rush hours because
the company was already hard put
to provide adequate transportation
Tor its present customers.
At the same time, Howard Went
worth, executive assistant to Will
liam A. Van Duzer, safety director
said the amount of car sharing here
was far below that of other cities
engaged in war work" He pointed
out that, in the first place, the stag
gered and irregular hours of most
Government employees made car
sharing somewhat more difficult
than it might be in other places.
But he also blamed public apathy
for the fact that pooling has not be-
come more widely accepted
He cited figures for December, the
latest month for which statistics are
available, to show that automobiles
going into the downtown area in the
morning and out in the evening car
rled an average of only two persons
per car. The survey was made at
six different points:
At the Lincoln Memorial Bridge,
observers noted an average of 269
persons per car for inbound traffic
and 2.21 for outbound cars.
1.95 at Key Bridge.
AT Key Bridge the average was
lbs passengers per car inbound
and 1853 outbound.
At the Highway Bridge, 2.31 in
bound and 199 outbound.
On West Virginia avenue between
Twenty first and Twenty-second
streets NV, 181 westbond and 1.80
eaStbound.
On Rhode Island avenue between
North Capitol and First streets NV,
1.80 Westbound and sc eastbound.
On Thirteenth street between I
and K streets NV, 1913 southbound
and It's northbound.
Mr.. Wentworth said that if the
OPA order were put into effect here
it would increase transportation diff
ficulties, especially for persons re-
siding in Maryland and Virginia.
The question of whether trans
portation facilities are adequate will
be decided, OPA said, by its regional
Offices. The regional Office govern
ing the District is in New York.
1t was pointed out that local ra-
tioning boards already had the au-
thority to refuse supplemental ra-
tions, regardless of car-sharing
plans, if transportation means we're
deemed adequate. The new order,
1t was explained, places this au-
thority on Nation wide basis.

Senate Move 10 Weld
Allied Collaboration
Backed by Wallace
ConnoIIy Indicates He
Believes Time Is Not
Ripe for Commitments
EI I he Associated Press

4SF RAAG HeSOtLdteu FEtSS.
Vice President Wallace gave
his support today to a resolution
calling for closer welding of the
United Nations for immediate
and postwar collaboration, but
considerable editing is due on
the proposal before it reaches a
vote in the Senate.
Mr.. Wallace told press confer
ence the resolution seems like a
very constructive proposal Asked
If he thought it could be considered
in Congress without bitter debate, -
the Vice President respondent
I'd answer that by saying"
then hesitated and resumed: Il hope
it could be considered"
President Roosevelt was reported
to have given tentative indorse-
ment to the proposals broad OBJ
jectives at White House confer
ence with six Senators yesterday, but
Chairman Connally of the Foreign
Relations Committee left no doubt
there would have to be some
changes.
Senator Connally was reported to
have insisted at the meeting that
the time is not ripe to attempt to
commit the United Nations to any
joint economic, relief or rehabilita-
ton programs, as the resolution
would do in a general way.
Would Keep World Peace.
The comInlttee chairman told re-
porters he'was in favor Of stating
now that the United States wanted
to agree with its Allies that all would
join in maintaining world peace and
security after the war, but indicated
he was prepared to go no further
at this time.
The resolution, which Senator
Ball, Republican, of Minnesota said
would be introduced tomorrow,
would put the Senate on record as
urging this Government to take the
initiative in organizing the United
Nations behind program for great
er use of their military and economic
resources, for joint control over re-
conquered territory and for joint
relief and rehabilitation of peoples
freed from axis domination.
AS postwar aims, the United Ma
tlonS would agree to set up ma
chinery for settlement of interna-
tional disputes and would create a
world military force to put down
threats of aggression.
While Senator Wagner, Democrat,
of New York, one Of those who went
to the White House, said he believed
some such resolution might be ap-
proved by the Foreign Relations
Committee, Senator La Toilette,
Progressive, of Wisconsin expressed
doubt that the group would ever
report it out.
La Toilette Would Wait.
Il think that resolution is likely
10 die Of premature exposure" Sena-
tor La Toilette told reporters. "I
doubt that the Foreign Relations
Committee is prepared at this time
to say that the United Nations
should commit themselves until we
can see more clearly how the war
is coming out"
