D. {. Heads Approve
Interstate Taxi Plan
Nearby Areas Expected
To Adopt Similar Orders

A reciprocity plan legalizing
interstate taXicab operations be-
tween the District and nearby Mary
land and Virginia was approved
yesterday by the District Commits
sioners, with the understanding that
State or county authorities would
adopt similar orders.
The plan will permit Maryland
or Virginia cabs within The limits
of ODT rules to bring passengers
into the District and to take pas
sengers from the District to Mary
land or Virginia points, but it will
not permit cabs not licensed by the
District 10 carry passengers between
points within the District. Like
wise, District cabs could carry raS-
sengers from the District into Mary
land or Virginia or bring passengers
from there into the District, but
not to carry passengers between
points within Maryland or Virginia.
In letters to Secretary w. Glen
Bixler of the Arlington County Pub
lie Utilities Commission and Lee FL
gin, Maryland commissioner of motor
vehicles, the Commissioners said that
while they lacked authority to enter
into an agreement" they had in
structed Washington police to re-
frain from bringing charges against
such visiting cab drivers doing in
terstate business.
The plan was limited to the du-
ration Of the war emergency.

400 Army Men Reach u. of M.
To Start Specialist Training
''~~S Three From .: c. Areo Among First Group;
59-Hour-u-Week Program Begins July II +

ginning then.sthe men will have "a
hours of classwork, "a hours of
supervised study, hours of military
work and 6 hours of physical edu-
cation each week
The Army has taken over all the
mems dormitories and one woman's
dormitory to house the soldiers.
The regular students at the univer-
sity are being cared for in frater-
mites and private homes So far
there has been no difficulty in OBJ
tanning housing accommodations for
students.
The majority of the trainees are
between 10 and 2l years of age and
practically all have completed their
basic 13-week Army training. About
Is OF the 400 men have had some
college training.
Some of the men already have
tried their hand at the obstacle
course, termed by one of the Off
GERS as "the toughest have ever
SEEN" He said that he was pleas
antly surprised" at the results.
Academic Work Emphasized.
According to Col. Robert E. Wysor
jr., in charge of the entire program
at the university, the courses differ
from those offered in an officer can
didate school. in that emphasis in the
ASTP is placed on academic, rather
than on military studies.
Ordinarily, he explained, many
men graduating from college go into
industry and obtain deferments, al
though they may be vitally needed
in the Army
The ASTP was established to sup
ply the needs of the Army for such
men, he pointed out. Objective of
the program is to give specialized
technical training to soldiers on ac-
tive duty for certain tasks for which
its own training facilities are in
sufficient in extent or character.
And the soldiers themselves seem

BY j. b. ZATMAN.

A group of soldiers marched
smartly across the drill field in re-
sponse to commands barked by their
officers, while nearby, another group
struggled through an obstacle
course. 1t might have been just
another Army camp. But it wasn't.
The scene was the University of
Maryland campus, where the first
contingent of Army men selected
under the Army Specialized Training
Program are preparing to take
courses designed to make them spe-
cialsts in such fields as engineering,
science, mathematics, medicine, psy-
chology and foreign languages.
While approximately 400 men
have arrived thus far, the university
has agreed to accept up to 1900. 1t
is the first college in the Washing
ton area to participate in such a
program, although a classification
center has been set up at George
town University.
Kept Busy Drilling.
Actual classwork will not start
until July II. In the meantime,
the soldier-studentS are kept busy
drilling. attending classes in santa
ton, first aid, map reading and
military discipline and taking four
hours of physical training each day.
Among soldiers already at the uni
versity are two from Washington
and one from Prince Georges
County. They are John L. Weist-
ling, Gil Newton place NV; Rich
ard E. Koester, 1902 New Hamp-
shire avenue NV and John G..
Baumann, Mount Rainier. The lat
ter was a student in the College of
Agriculture at the university from
September, 1889, to June, 1S41.
All 400 soldiers are enrolled in the
basic training phase of the ASTP.
This phase. consists of three 12-
week terms. At the end of each
term, the soldiers are given exami-
nations. If they pass, they are either
assigned to an Officer Candidate
School or are permitted to continue
their work at the university. IF
they fail, they are sent back to their
units in regular Army camps.
Cream of Army"
Men selected to participate in the
program represent the cream of
the Army" Each trainee must have
scored lis points or more in his
Army general classification test.
Those under % years of age must
have had at least high school edu-
cation or its equivalent. Those %
years of age or over must have had
at least one but not more than three
years OF college, unless they majored
in one of the following subjects:
Mathematics, physics, chemistry,
psychology or engineering or unless
they have some knowledge of at
least one modern foreign language.
Those with more than two years
of college must also have had at
least one year of college physics,
mathematics or three college courses
in psychology or must have some
knowledge of at least one modern
foreign language.
The men follow regular military
discipline. Reveille is sounded at
$40 am. and taps at IL pm.
In between, trainees are given four
hours of physical education under
the direction of Dr. Clarence W.
Spear, director of physical educa-
ton and football coach at the uni
versity, and four hours of practical
military work.
Compared to what the men will
do after July IL, however, their
present work is just a snap" Be-

Arlington Gasoline Cut
Feared as Motorists
Fail TO Mail Cards
Only 1000 of 10000
Rotion Renewal Forms
Received by Board

John DeLaShmutt, chairman Of
the Arlington County Ration Board,
declared yesterday that lack of re-
sponse by motorists to the June 80
deadline for mailing applications for
supplemental gasoline renewals Is
endangering the countys entire
quarterly renewal.
MIR. DeLashmutt said only 1000
of an expected $4,000 renewal appli-
cations have been received by the
board, and added that the second
attempt by. the Arlington board to
mail books to motorists in an effort
to save gasoline and man hours will
not succeed unless all car owners
cooperate with the simple rules
for gasoline renewals.
Every motorist holding B or C
book, regardless Of the date it was
issued. Mr.. DeLsShmutt said, must
obtain a renewal blank, fill it out
and mail it to the board before June
80, along with tire inspection records.
Blanks are obtainable at all gaso-
line and tire inspection stations in
the county.
Fairfax Deadline Is July 10.
In a similar renewal program.
Fairfax County motorists whose
supplemental gasoline ration books
expire on July %, must mail appli-
cation forms to the board head
Quarters at Falls Church before
July TO-
Mrs. Mollie w. Cleveland, execu-
tive secretary of the board, said
motorists will be notified by mail
when their new books have been
proceSsed, and will be given an ap-
pointment to call for books at the
boards headquarters The board
office will not be open for the issu-
ance of gasoline books from July %
to August /, Mrs. Cleveland said.
Gasoline renewal application
forms may be obtained at filling
stations throughout Fairfax County,
Mrs. Cleveland said.
Mr.. DeLashmutt said civilian and
military personnel of all large mil
itary establishments must obtain
their application forms from trans
portation officers. Signatures of
employers or transportation officers
must be on the applications, he en-
phaSized, or they will be returned.
Tire inspection records also must
accompany applications.
Seen As Yardstick.
p Mr.. De Lashmutt said the mailing
process in Arlington, the first COM
munity in this area to attempt it. is
being watched closely by State and
national OPA officials. He said the
success or failure of this method
may form a yardstick in deciding
methods Of future issuances.
Board officials said that if the
June 80 deadline is met workers will
have sufficient time to audit and to
return books before current ones ex-
pire No applications for gasoline
except those indicating crucial need
will be handled by the board after
the deadlNe. it was stated,
Purchasers of used cars, the board
warned, must obtain tire inspection
records Of cars purchased along with
the purchase papers, or they must
require the dealer or previous owner
to supply certffcatipn9that the pres
ent tires were ofisKe car In October,
