INCREASE IN RAIL
TRAVEL FORECAST
ODT Believes One Fifth
OF Train Travel Unne-
cessary During 1913

WASHINGTON, Dec. IS. - up -
Already gravely conce ned over
the record travel on American
trains, buses and planes, the Office
of Defense Transportation fears
that this mass reshuffling of hu-
mainly will be even worse next
year.
Train travel, the most usual
means and already an aggravated
case of overcrowding and incon-
venience, will be up Is per cent,
ODT predicted.
ODT expressed belief that the
fifth of rail travel and a third of
the bus travel this year was unne-
cessary, and Director Joseph B.
Eastman commented:
cit is easy to see where the
principal problem lies. If, instead
of crowding into trains and buses,
these non-essential travellers had
stayed home, most persons who
must travel would have seats. The
problem is just as simple as that"
In a report based on informa-
ton from nine official groups,
the Office of War Information de-
clared today that passenger travel
is almost twice what it was year
ago and more than four times as
much as before the war began.
Rationing of travel is "still not
an impossibility," the report said
but would be imposed only as a
last resort to cope with increasing
ly heavy passenger loads on linn
tied, overstrained equipment.
Troop transportation increased
about so per cent over 1912, Owl
said, with military orders taking
more than half the sleeping cars
and about one-third of all coaches.
