Not Made Retroactive
The ODT made it clear that the
new order does not affect those
reservations already made 80 days
in advance.
Charles Orange, ticket agent at
the Union Station, said that when
the 30-day allowance was in effect
diagrams for reservations were
posted at 10 am. daily and all seats
usually were sold within two hours
He added that in Washington all
