mission Conference
Urges Better Hours
For u. 5. Employees

Ministers and religious education
directors at a conference of the Ma
tional Mission to Christian Teachers
went on record today as favorine
an adjustment in working hours fol
Government employees.
The conference was held at the
Asbury Methodist Church, Eleventh
and K streets NV. DR.. John w
Rustin, president of the Washing
ton Federation of Churches, pre-
sided.
The resolution said Government
employees have been unable, because
of long working hours, to continue
consistent church attendance and
declared many workers are drifting
from the church for that reason.
Philip M. Widenhouse, depart
ment OF research and planning di-
rector of the federation, attributed
the decline in Sunday school en-
rollments in downtown churches to
the quickly shifting population in
Central Washington.
Mr.. Widenhouse also said church
memberships have increased while
the Sunday school attendance has
decreased. He pointed out that
areas on the periphery OF the city
have increased in population and
that 49 new churches have been
established in new Metropolitan
Washington communities.

JurisdictionaI Clash
AT Airport Is Again
Raised After Theft

The long controversy regarding
police jurisdiction over the strip of
territory on the Virginia side of the
Potomac River on which the Ma
tional Airport is located arose yester-
day to again plague the District
Virginia and FBI law enforcement
officials.
The dispute ragged around a man
arrested in connection with the theft
of $2,750 from a safe in the Offices
of Air Terminal Services at the
airport.
Capt. Clyde Strange of the Wash
ington police, who led the investiga-
ton which resulted in the arrest OF
the man, said he had confessed to
cracking the safe and had led po-
lice to a cache in one of the airport
buildings where $1,000 of the loot
was recovered
He was booked for investigation
by District police-and then and
there the old contention flared
anew.
Capt. Strange said Washington
police couldn't charge the man with
larceny-or anything else-because
the airport was not in the District.
Virginia police, Capt. Strange as
serted, said they didn't want him.
The airport, they insisted, wasn't in
that State.
The FBI also declined to play host
to the self-confessed burglar.
A conference was scheduled for
today between District police, the
FBI and Corporation Counsel Rich
mond B. Keech ut which the tech
nical tangle will be discussed.

Post Officials Probe
Complaints Of WACS
Stationed al Be|yoir

An investigation of complaints
made by WACS stationed at Fort
Belvoir, Va, against their command
ing officer, Capt. Dorothy Tomhave,
was announced today by post off,
cials
I'VE will go into the matter very
carefully and look into the situ-
alton, If there is a situation" a
Fort Belvoir spokesman said. "If
there are any justified complaints
corrective action will be taken"
The spokesman said that about
a week ago a group of WACS in a
meeting with post chaplain took
up with him some things they
didn't like"
The complaints were all minor"
he said, land of the sort that arise
in any Army camp"
The chaplain took up the COM
plants with'the post executive Off
Ger, 1t. Col. Marian Weatherby, the
spokesman said. No formal COM
plant has been made to the posts
commanding officer.
Post officials said the WACS
blamed Capt. Tomhave for the
transfer of popular member of the
unit, Corpl. Marie Sayre, from Fort
Belvoir to Fort Myer.
The post spokesman said the
transfer naturally was initiated by
higher headquarters and had no
personal significance"
In an offlcial statement before the
investigation was launched, post Of
f1cials said Capt. Tomhave "is do
ing fine job and has the confidence
and backing Of the post command
er."

speeds In the central business dis
trict, the engineers found, now range
from three to six miles per hour,
not much different from prewar
days. Speeds of private vehicles in
this area, they said, are only slightly
better. Streetcar speeds in the
subways, however, would average 16
miles per hour, they declared. This
would bring an average saving of 10
to Is minutes per trip, the con-
sultantS added, or greater than the
average time advantage in using
private automobiles.
Bus speeds in the central district,
they said, never would be more than
half as great as that of subway
cars. Sixty per cent of all street.
car trips in the central area, in the
evening rush periods, they esti-
mated, would be made in the tubes.
Specific Projects.
Among specific projects listed in
the report are the following:

Co|ored Man, "a, Born

A 94-year- colored man, said
by members of his family to have
been a former slave liberated after
the Civil War, was killed instantly
yesterday when struck by street.
car as he crossed Eleventh street
near o street NV, police reported.
The victim was Samuel Robinson,
who lived with his daughter, Mrs.
Martha Chase, 1881 Twelfth street
NV. She said her father was born
in slavery at Markham, Va, where
he engaged in farming after liber-
alton. He came to Washington 18
years ago and worked for time on
various construction jobs.
He is also survived by two other
daughters, Mrs. Annie Phenix and
Mrs. Maud J. King of Washington:
four sons, II grandchildren, 10
great-grandchildren, great-great-
grandchildren and 3 great-great-
great grandchildren.
Police said the operator of the
streetcar was Walter L. Brown, So,
of 1108 E street NE.
Hit-and- Run Victim.
Dalton Robinson, 80, of AZ K street
NV. was seriously injured last night
when he was struck by a hit-and-

Development of the whole block is

embellished with Handicapped semi
circular and triangular park areas
and relocation of surface streetcar
tracks from Virginia avenue to C

traffic signals and pedestrian

would move traffic through the

Discussing District traffic prob
lens and their solution, the engi-
neers declared:
Day of Reckoning.
Washington would have been
adversely affected by traffic condi-
tions had it not been for the artifi-
cial stimulation of the war. The
day of reckoning cannot be long
postponed, however, and it is in

evitable that ultimately there will
be a serious loss of business to
merchants in the central area.
Decline in property values will
follow, resulting in a decrease in
taxes collected by the municipality
Merchants will be tempted to aban-
don the heart of the city to its fate
and move to less congested outlying
areas. This will lead to further de-
Capitalization of residential areas
a trend even the war has not dis
couraged. Greater use of automo-
biles will be inevitable, giving fur
ther impetus to a trend which
threatens to explode the city"
Asserting that traffic congestion
downtown also has had a serious
effect on Federal offices and their
workers, the report adds: "The Pen
tagon and Census Bureau buildings
are expressions of dissatisfaction
with difficulties of reaching long
established sites near the center OF
the city. This trend, likewise, could
easily assume disastrous proper
tions."
Soil and Ground Water.
While declaring their belief that
soil and ground water conditions
would not cause serious subway
construction difficulties" the con-
sultants said:
The elimination of all possibility
that recent flooding of streets in the
downtown area will recur is q
necessary preliminary to subway
construction. This indicates the
desirability of a restudy of tht
drainage facilities in the areas in.
volved.
"Conceivably, one or more reliet
sewers will be required. In any case
the plans of the engineers of the
Department of Sanitation to pre-.
vent all future floods in downtown
Washington should be carried out.
The engineers said preparation OF
contract plans for the subway sys-
TENS could be speeded so construc-
ton could be started within one
year. Actual building of the tubes
was estimated to take about three
years.
While construction of the subways
would be by the open cut" method
the engineers said. the openings
would be planked over so that nor.
NAL business activities could con.
tinue during the construction
period. Streetcar operation woulc
not be interrupted, they added.

line station operator in the 100 block
of Florida avenue NE. Mr.. Murray

Burko coupons worth 1000 gallons
at 815 cents per gallon. He added
that Burko bought these coupons at
cents per gallon from Cruger and
Gossman.
Mrs. Nettie F. May, chief clerk
of the Falls Church area ration
board, was the first witness for the
Government. She told of mailing
coupons for extra gasoline.
Francis j. Obert, post office inspec-
tor who arrested Gossman and Cru
ger July %, told of observing the
youths on two visits to the post office
July 81 and %, and described their
arrest outside the post Office

found torn envelopes July 6 which
contained coupons previously stolen
from the post Office.
