The War Department disclosed
today that the population Of the
Pentagon Building in Arlington, Va,
a small city in itself. has increased
from 10000 few months ago, to
10000 at the present time.
Approximately one-half of the
personnel, or $4,000, depend on bus
transportation, the department said,
and the remainder utilize private
cars. Since the War Department
started its share-vour- car campaign
to tighten the transportation load, a
recent survey now discloses that
each private car carries more than
twice as many persons as it did last
year.
The average ca is now 81 persons
as against IT less than a year ago.
Even so, that record isn't good
enough and departmental officials
are urging private car owners to
make greater use Of the registration
desk in the concourse of the
Pentagon Building.
Car owners register at the desk
according to their residential zones
