0DT Order Will Take
68 Sleeping Cars
Off Washington Runs

Approximately SO sleeping cars,
running on "a trains out of Wash
ington, are due to be Cancelled by
the new Office of Defense Trans
portation order banning Pullman
| travel between points less than 450
miles distant, the Pullman Co.
reported today. They pointed out,
however, that the schedule is tenta-
tive.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Wash
ington service is the hardest hit by
the order. Pullman cars on Pennsy
lines from Washington to New York
City, Buffalo, Rochester and Canan-
daigua, N. Y; Akron, Ohio; Pitts
burgh and Philadelphia, Springfield,
Mass, and Providence, r. L, all are
set for cancellation.
Baltimore & Ohio Pullmans on run
to New York City, Akron, Pitts
burgh, Parkersburg and Wheeling,
w. Va, and Jersey City will be cut
off. The Atlantic Coast Line will
cancel its Pullman cars on the
Wilmington, N. c., run, and Sea-
board Railway will cut off Pullman
cars on lines to Raleigh and Ham
let, N. c., and Roanoke, Va. The
Chesapeake & Ohio is the only rail
line which has no Washington runs
under the 450 limit, the Pullman
Co. said.
There still may be other changes
in the new schedules, officials of the
Pullman Co. pointed out. Some Of
the trips on which Pullman service
is Cancelled fall within miles
of the 450 limit, and the ODT may
rule a few more out of the ban,
or few more in, depending on the
Interpretation of the rule. The "a
train figure counts all those runs
fraction less than 450 miles from
Washington.
1t also was pointed out that while
the figure represents point to point
runs, the total really is more than
"a, as there is doubling up on some
lines. For example, both Pennsyl-
vania and the B. g. o. have runs
to Akron. This is counted as one
run, however. in the "a total.
Pullman officials said the new
order would in no way ease the man
power situation, but would make it
more difficult, because of the crowd
ing on coaches, and the need for
complete service on those trains
used by military personnel.

five women counsellors and one man
none Of whom is a veteran-was
chosen on the basis of job specifica-
tions from national and regional
VINO. These specifications did not
say whether the counsellors should
be men or women, veterans or nom
veterans, he pointed out.
Miss Kathryn Fox, who has been
with the United States Employment
Service for II years, will be chief of
the employment counseling pro-
gram, Mr.. Connolly announced. The

cruited from USES interviewers.

500 Applications Filed
For 1855 Housing Units

The housing situation for colored
residents of Alexandria has been
somewhat relieved by the opening
last week of 166 new units, but John
Y. Kerr, assistant director of the
Alexandria Housing Authority which
operates the projects, said more
than 500 applications were filed for
the units. He added that of that
number 366 families were eligible
for housing in the projects which
are designed only for workers in
essential industries. This leaves a
waiting list of 200 eligible tenants.
The completion of the units will
make it possible to remove the rs
trailers at Patrick and Alfred
streets. The Federal Public Hous-

the trailer camp will be dismantled

held in its right to establish the
camps for use by civilian employees
of Fort Belvoir, and the city was
forced to grant sewer connection
rights.
After the camps were no longer
needed for Fort Belvoir employees,
the camp for white residents was
removed, but permission was grant,
ed FPHA by the city to maintain
the rs trailers for colored residents
who had been evicted from their
homes to make way for the projects

The Camuel Madden homes on
Henry street contain Sc of the new
units and 100 are located in the ad-
dition to the George w. Parker
homes on Pitt and Royal streets.
Mr. eKrr said that apartments have
been allotted to employees of the
Naval Torpedo Station and those in
transportation and other local es-
sential industries.
The projects, costing STA, 900, are
permanent and will be converted
