Government and other essentia
groups. Edgar Morris, chairman of
the Greater National Capital Com
mittee of the Washington Board OF
Trade, promised, however, that his
committee would invite small groups
to meet here as soon as the hotel
shortage has eased.
Next on the list of restrictions to
be either eliminated or eaSed are
those affecting milk, department
store and laundry deliveries. Man
power may be determining factor
in local establishments going back
to prewar delivery services, even
though the ODT gives a go-ahead
signal
The 35-mile speed limit also is ex-
pected to be eliminated as soon as
ODT has notified Governors of all
States abiding by the Government
request that it is no longer re-
quired.
The general taxicab order, now
revoked, prohibited cruising and the
use of cabs to make commercial de-
liveries of property; confined oper-
ations within a 10-mile radius OF
Metropolitan city limits; froze the
number of any community to that
of September l, 1912, and required
group riding in all cities which did
not prohibit 1t.
Train Travel Curbs Remain.
Among the revoked orders was
one which required all commercial
vehicle operators to obtain a GER
tifcate of war necessity from ODT
in order to operate trucks, buses or
taxicabs. Certificates were issued
for more than 100000 vehicles un-
der the order, in effect since De-
cember, 1912.
The order prohibiting automobile
racing had been in effect since July
10, 1912
The rental car order froze the
number of rental cars in service at
the level of December, 1912.
Having in mind the necessity for
moving returning troops, ODT said
it would take no steps to ease train
travel restrictions for about two
months.

Envoy to JaDan Nine Years.
His foreign service climaxed by
nine years as Ambassador to Japan
before Pearl Harbor. Mr.. Grew re-
turned to the State Department in
1942 and became Undersecretary
last December.
In this position, he was the
author of much of the American
foreign policy which preceded the
japanese surrender He is cred
tied with formulating the Allied
policy toward the japanese Emperor
which figured in the Jap surrender
earlier this week His thesis was
that the Allies should keep their
hands free to use the Emperor as
could best serve their purposes dur
ing the occupation of Japan, leav-
ing final determination of the
status of the throne to the Japa-
nese people.
1t remained possible that Mr.
Grew might be recalled to public
service as political adviser to Gen
Macarthur during the Japanese
occupation. The President told a
news conference yesterday that a
political adviser to the supreme
Allied commander would be named
If 1t became necessary, but indi-
Gated that conditions might not
require it.
