Plans Considered
For More Staggering
|0fU. ). Office Hours
improvement in Traffic
Noted as Employees
Study Bus Schedules

Plans for further staggering work
ing hours of Government employees
to ease the rush hour traf1lc situa-
ton have been under consideration
for some time, it was disclosed to-
day. but spokesman for Traffic
Director William Van Duzer said
he hoped no changes in the present
arrangements. would be necessary.
Wrinkles in revised bus schedules
were being smoothed out, with
noticeable improvement In the flow
of traffic, it was said, but increased
staggering of hours have been
studied In case an emergency arises
making changes compulsory.
Explaining Traffic Jam.
The bus jam at Eleventh street
and New York avenue NV. Monday
afternoon, when Capital Transit
lines were shortened, resulted from
too many buses being sent into the
downtown area too early for the
peak of the homeward- bound rush.
The buses were held for passen-
gers while more piled up behind
| with a consequent snarl in traflc.
| Stricter adherence to schedules and
minor changes in routing have
remedied the situation.
Mr.. Van Duzer's Office said no
lengthening of the staggered hours
would be made without consulting
various Government departments
affected and that none had ap-
preached him in the matter. The
plan also has been studied by Fed
eral officials within their own
departments.
The decrease in vehicular traffic,
% per cent below last years figures
and 26 per cent below two years ago,
had resulted in the turning off of 10
traffic lights. Requests for elimi-
mating three more lights are now
before the District Commissioners
Left Turn Signs Remain.
Under an Office of Defense Trans
portation ruling traffic lights cannot
be turned off at intersections passed
by 1000 or more vehicles or by $50
pedestrians hourly. 1t is because of
increased pedestrian traffic. up 80
per cent over last year. that lights
are kept on at certain Intersections
where motor traffic has decreased.
No left turn signs have been re-
moved and 1t is not planned to do
away with any. These serve the
purpose of speeding up mass traffic
movements. particularly in the case
of streetcars and buses, where one
car, attempting to make a left turn
during heavy traffic. might tie up
several cars or buses, delaying scores
of workers.
Instances have been reported
where policemen detailed to remove
such signs after the rush hour have
been lax. but this has been taken
up with the Police Department and
prompter removal is expected.

Ceiling Price Urged
On District Tdxicab
License Resa|es
Keeeh Suggests Measure
To Fix Value on
Unexpired Time

Corporation Counsel Richmond B.
Keech today recommended to a Sen
ate subcommittee bill to prohibit
the sale of taxicab license for
more than the prorated cost OF the
unexpired license.
Mr.. Keech offered his bill as
substitute for one of Chairman Nc
Carran CT the Senate District Com
mittee, designed to make licenses
non transferable. The Public Util-
lty Commission licenses, which cost
$25, were frozen almost a year ago
by the once of Defense Transporta-
ton, so that no new licenses can be
issued.
Philip E. Manda. an independent
taxicab operator, testified that he
heard OF cases of these licenses SELL
ing for $3.50. He told Senator Buck,
Republican. of Delaware, ne-man
subcommittee, that an unexpired
license should be turned back to the
commission for resale.
Flanagan Wants Bill.
James H. Flanagan. chairman of
the Public Utilities Commission, said
there was need for a bill to control
the sale price of licenses. He testi-
fed that during the license year
ending March. 1943, 1,s46 licenses
had been transferred.
Harry c. Davis, president OF the
Diamond Cab Co., however, told
Senator Buck that he saw no need
for legislation. He argued that re-
stricting the amount of the license
sale would be evaded by charging

wrote:
'If it be said by any one that we
are taking crude oil from one or
other of the oil refiners and turning
all of it over to the Standard to
the detriment of the war effort, I
need but call your attention to the
fact that it is entirely within the
province and power of the petro-
leum administrator for war to
remedy this condition by ordering
the Standard to turn over to such
refiner such quantity of crude oil as
may, in his judgment, be necessary .
Condemnation Proposed.
Representative O'Connor. Demo-
crat, of Montana. a member of the
Public Lands Committee, has in
troduced resolution calling on the
Navy to condemn the privately
owned lands in Elk Hills. A measure
to enlarge the naval reserve, taking
in a mile on every side of the oil
field, also is before the committee.
Opinion on public purchase of
Standard lands and of enlarging the
reserve is not, by any means, unani-
nous. Representative Elliott, Dem
ocrat, In whose district the Elk Hills
field is located. has been active in
pressing investigation of the Navy
Standard deal, but he also has
pointed out that to take a large

expenses plus profit.
Opinion Reached by Warren.
Controller General Warren, with
whom, as required by law the origi-
nal contract was filed, had his legal
advisers investigate it, and they ar
rived, independently, at the same
conclusion-that it was illegal. But
at this time Mr. Warren learned
that the Attorney General had held
to the same effect, and so the Con-
troller General withheld his opinion,
but he later gave it to the House
Public Lands Committee.
He would not have hesitated to
denounce the contract, he said. if
the Justice Department had not
acted. He told the committee that
with the exception of fraud and
collusion. and the possibility that
this contract may be a good faith
attempt to conserve tie Oil reserves,
this contract is strikingly similar
in its basic principles to those in
volved in the weil-known Elk Hills
and Teapot Dome oil scandals, and
its provisions regarding operation of
the oil lands appear even to be more
extensive"
The Navy Department filed with
the committee a statement denying
