must be made so that doctors can
attend patients in need of prompt
care. He indicated that, If neces-
sary, he would take the problem to
Congress.
Theodore Wiprud, secretary of the
District Medical Society, reported he
was receiving fewer calls from ply
sicians unable to buy gasoline He
added, however, that 'I still feel the

tors are concerned"
Lines Form at Stations.
He agreed with DR.. Rutland that
emergency stations should be main
tanned for doctors and suggested
they be set up for the duration.
In the Northwest section of the
city lines formed at many stations
as soon as they opened today, but
operators said the demands were be-
ing met and that buying would ease
off soon.
B. E. Skinker of the Skinker Bros.
station, Albemarle and Connecticut
avenue NV. claimed there Is no
gas shortage" Mr.. Skinker declared
panic buying" was the outgrowth of
too much stuff in the newspapers
and on the radio"
Il had 20 people call me before 7
o'clock this morning to ask whether
we had any gas. I told them we
have plenty of gas for everybody.
Nobody needs to worry about not
getting gas
Operators Have Gas.
At McDowell's Service Station,
1901 Connecticut avenue NV, an
operator said, "Ifs our customers
would only let us get caught up
we'd be all right. If they'd just let
us get a delivery we would have no
trouble. We're really in good shape
and think everything is going to
be okay."
This operator said that few per-
sons buying gas at the station
needed the gas. He attributed buy
ing not only to desire to use up
the current A-13 coupon, but to
memories of the other gas famine"
Some stations we're limiting sales
to doctors, nurses, trucks and other
essential users, but many had no
restrictions. The Amoco station at
Connecticut avenue and Ordway
street NV. was selling gas to all
comers on the basis of a unit per
customer.

Hearings Are Called
On Dupont Circle
Underpass Project

Inc JOINT board OF the CommiS-
sioners and the Public Utilities Com
mission announced today that
public hearing will be held at 10
am. January in the District Build
ing poardroom on tentative plans
for a grade separation project and
streetcar underpass at Dupont Cir
Gle.
The plans are based on those sub
mitted in October by consulting en-
gineers, excapt that the Highway
Departments plans do not include
the Connecticut avenue subway pro-
posed in the engineers report.
The tentative plan calls for a
vehicular underpass on Connecticut
avenue under Dupont Circle running
from Hillyer place to south of Du-
pont Circle. A streetcar underpass
would go from S to N streets and
would be separated from vehicular
traffic in the center of the under
pass.
Would Provide Stops.
Underpass streetcar stops would be
provided at Dupont Circle, with &C
cess to platforms being furnished
by passages to the sidewalks. There
would also be entrances and exits
to the subway from the center of
the circle.
Vehicular traffic on the surface of
Dupont Circle would be channeled
so conflicts would be eliminated
between through traffic from Mas
sassachusetts avenue and other
streets entering the circle.
The statement of the joint board
in calling for the hearing said the
congestion of traffic, resulting de-
lays, and hazards have been mat
ters of serious consideration by the
District Commissioners, acting
through the Highway Department,
the Department of Vehicles and
Traffic, and by the Public Utilities
Commission"
Full Consideration.
The statement said that the Com
missioners and the PUG feel the
tentative plans which have been
prepared by the Highway Depart
ment should receive full considera-
ton "of all interested parties. -
They expressed a desire to have the
problem thrashed out so that final
plans may be completed and ready
for bids when the war emergency
permits construction work.
Plans had been drawn for some
time for an underpass at Dupont
Circle. These original plans, how
ever, did not call for the segregation
of vehicular and streetcar traffic
underground and did not provide for
subway stations in and around
Dupont Circle.

tell me something that won't come
true"
"Okay, then" Miss Hayes told him
IF that's the way you want it !
won't tell you a thing-Ill just dc
it." She went back to New York
and as she wrote him. started a
small crusade in his behalf. She
sent Perry Como to Washington to
hear him. Mr.. Como told Mr.. Rock
well, Hes wonderful" So Mr.. Rock
well decided to come and see. He
agreed-and he told Pvt. Crudele
that he'd see what he could do to
get him placed with one of his bands
when the singing private was ready
He also is working on plan to have
Pvt. Crudele guest-star on the Ches-
terfleld program. ;,
Wants No Sympathy.
Pvt. Crudele is waiting to see.
They told me I had a good voice
that wasn't like anybody else's, with
style all my oWn," he said. He
thinks he needs more grooming, and
tries to keep himself from even hop
ing things will work out as planned
"One thing, though, in case they
should" he pleaded, don't say much
about my having lost my legs, will
you? I'm just like all the other guys
out here. The only thing I want is
to get back to normal. I'll get along
okay. and don't want anybody feel
ing sorry for me. If I get my chance
I want to feel-and I want others
to feel-that it's because I've got
something, not because I'm a wound
ed veteran. Why should my legs get
the credit for something my voice
can do mean I hope it can do. So
I don't want any sympathy"
II Helen Hayes and Perry Como
and Thomas Rockwell are right, Pvt
Crudele won't be getting sympathy
People who make good just don't.

/ WASHINGTON, May BIN the
face of vigorous Republican opposi-
ton to the $4,000. 100000 increase
In the public debt limit, the admin
istration agreed to cut back the re-
quest for a new debt ceiling from
260 billion to 240 billion dollars.
Undersecretary of the Treasury,
Daniel Bell told the House Ways
and Means Committee: 1T would
be all right with us" to make the
cut back with the understanding
that the administration make the
request for the still higher ceiling
early next year.
Rep. Harold Knutson said: "On
every side we see waste and extrav-
agance which runs into hundreds OF
millions if not billions. If we set
the limit at SOC billion. the Roose-
Welt administration would reach it,
if given a little time
Knutson said the debt is still
some 10 billion dollars under the
present limit of 2l0 billion.
