Woshington's Butter Famine
May Continue Until Spring

Washington's butter famine, which
wholesalers and dairymen describe
as worse than at any time during
the war, may not ease appreciably
until spring, an official of the Wash

today.
He said most eating places here
have gone back to the wartime prac-
tice of serving butter substitutes
such as jams and jellies, at nearly
all meals.
Householders also are feeling the
pinch as at least one dairy returns
to a voluntary rationing plan fol
its regular customers.
Wholesalers report they have only
limited quantities, which would bt

Franchise Sought
For New Bus Route

The Oriole Motor Coach Lines
have filed petition with the Mary
land Public Service Commission for
a franchise for bus service from
Bethesda to Silver Spring, Takoma
Park and College Park to begin
December 81, Albert E. Brault,
Montgomery County public utilities
agent, announced yesterday.
TIE Oriole lines now operate from
Silver Spring to Sandy Spring and
from Silver Spring to Rockville and
Potomac. The Rockville-Pot
line was started last Monday.
The proposed route, Mr.. Brault
said, will be from Bethesda by way
|of East-West highway to Silver
Spring, and then by way OF Uni
versity drive to College Park.
Mr.. Brault said that he would
urge the commission to grant the
petition on the grounds of public
necessity. THE residents along
East-West highway now have no
means of transportation other than
private vehicles and taxicabs," he
said. ...
Capital Transit Co. officials have
informed him they intend to oppose
granting of the franchise, Mr.. Brault
said. He said Capital Transit, how
ever, is unwilling to begin operation
of such line within the near fu-
ture.

The fact that Etiquette" is now
selling 1000 copies daily, Mrs. Post
attributes to Ernie Pyle and the
United States Government.
Ernie Pyle wrote in his column
from Ireland at the beginning of
the war that every American en-
listed man wanted to be an officer,
but found out that he could not be
one until he acquired the manner
presence and speech of an officer:
therefore, all the soldiers were
studying Emily Post.
The Government used Mrs. Posts
name in their pamphlets on behavior
in foreign countries which were dis
tributed to servicemen going over
seas. For example, one such pam.
phlet read, tits quite Emily Post
to shloop your soup in the tent Of
an Arab"
"All etiquette is based on the
Golden Rule" said Mrs. Post, "but
good behavior is handed down from
one generation to another" The
first known rule on etiquette ever to
be printed in the English language
was written in the time of Queen
Elizabeth and it stated, Tt is for
hidden to strike the Queen in the
face or to forcibly take food from
her"
Mrs. Posts recent article entitled
How to Treat the Wounded" was
written as result Of hundreds OF
requests from wounded to tell the
public how to act toward them. Five
large railroads and one transcon-
tinental airline have reprinted the
article In small folders and distrib-
uted them to employees.

Early Hearings Due
On New Bill Limitinq
d. {. Taxis, Drivers

Chairman Harris of the Utilities
Subcommittee of the House District
Committee today promised hearings
soon" an the bill he introduced yes
terday directing the Public Utilities
Commission to place limits on the
number of taXicab and taXi-driver
licenses issued here.
Meanwhile, he plans to call for
reports from a number of govern
mental and other agencies, interest
ed or involved in the legislation.
When these are received a lively
public hearing is anticipated since
limitations of the numbers of cabs
and cab drivers are among the ode
mands" of cab drivers now consider
ing a strike.
Provides Gradual Cut.
The bill provides for the gradual
reduction of the number of cabs
to 500 for each 100000 of population
and the number of cab driver Ii
censes to $50 per 100000 of popula-
ton.
The District now has 6,248 licensed
cabs and 8 ,345 licensed cab opera
tors. Under the Harris bill formula,
the PUG would be directed to cut
this down to 5000 licensed cabs and
$500 licensed drivers. This is on
the basis calculating the District
population at not less than the off,
cial Census Bureau estimate of $685.
600 as of July. 1914.
Restricts Transfers.
A fight is expected to develop
since the bill provides, among other
things, that vehicles now licensed
may not be sold, transferred or as
signed unless the consideration is
deemed by the PUG to be fair and
reasonable. This, it was said, is
intended to cut out the "unholy" or
abnormal profit that might attach
to license under a system of re-
stricting the number of permits
The bill, resulting in part from
union appeals, reserves certain Ii
cense rights to veterans for licenses
to own, buy or operate taxicabs.
For violations of the proposed
measure there would be fines UP
to- 81 900 year or a year in jail

Restoration Of $4,000
Parking Agency Fund
By Senate Unit Seen

Belief prevailed today on Capitol
Hill that the Senate Appropriations
Committee would restore to the
big Federal deficiency bill, now un-
der study there, a District item OF
S., 900 needed to provide a partial
staff for the reactivated Motor We
hicle Parking Agency.
This was one of number of items
denied by the House, supported yes
terday by municipal officers as they
appeared before the McKeller Sub
committee of the Senate funds
group.
Would Develop Facilities.
The parking agency fund is
needed, supporters say, to permit
progress with its program, author
lied by a 1912 act of Congress, to
plan, buy and develop off-street
parking facilities to relieve traffic
congestion.
District officials repeatedly were
given a sympathetic hearing" but
no action yet has been taken by the
Mcclellan group since it has not
concluded hearings on the de-
flciency bill. AS it came from the
House the bill calls for an extra out
lay for this fiscal year of more than
81 400, 900 900.
Testify for Other Items.
Among District items for which
city officials testified yesterday, but
were denied in the House, are:
$4,000 for construction of a third
floor to the hospital at the District
Training School for Feeble Minded
at Laurel, Md, for the care of extra
patients to be housed in two new
dormitories.
$4,000 for plans for an apartment
house at the District tuberculosis
Sanatorium at Glenn Dale, Md, to
house members of its staff.
| A special emergency fund of $15,-
600 for arrangements for the recep-
ton and celebration here of out
standing war heroes. In the case OF
the last item, it was reported, ques-
lions were raised as to whether this
would more properly be a charge
against the United States thar
against the District taxpayers.

Downey Renews
Fight on Floor
For Pay Raise
Wants 20% Increase
Voted by Senate
Before Months End
BY JOSEPH YOUNG.

Pledging a determined fight to
obtain fiat 20 per cent wage
increases for Government en-
ployes, Senator Downey, Demo-
crat, of California today con-
tinued his plea before the SEN
ate for enactment of the measure
by the end of the month.
When the measure was finally
called up yesterday afternoon after
being postponed for more than a
week, the Californian, sponsor of
the measure, made an impassioned
appeal in behalf of the Federal en-
ploye. Senator Downey spoke for
approximately half an hour before
the Senate adjourned until today.
Present Federal pay scales have
the average Government worker on
the verge of insolvency and de-
spair," Senator Downey told his COL
leagues. cit is imperative that we
take action Immediately to remedy
the situation" he declared.
Raises Lag Behind Costs.
The Senator emphasized that
while the cost of living has risen an
estimated 80 per cent since January,
1941, Federal employees have had
their wages increased by an overall
percentage of 1853 per cent. He
stressed that workers in private in
dustry have Jared far better in wage
increases.
Taking up the cases of unmarried
Government employes-for the most
part women-Senator Downey said
most Of these girls have dependents
to whom they send money each
month. The Senator referred to one
case brought to his attention where
the employe didn't have enough
money to undergo an urgently
needed operation because she had
outside obligations.
Il don't know how you feel about
1t, but that case sickened me-" Sena-
tor Downey said. He added that
there were still more terrible and
tragic cases" to be found because of
inadequate pay.
Urges Top Bracket Increases.
AT Cne same Time the Senator, who
heads the Senate Civil Service Com
mittee, urged that salaries of en-
ployes in top flight salary brackets
be increased. 1--WE are not paying
sufficiently high wages to hold men
vitality needed in the Government
today" Senator Downey declared.
He warned, IF we don't act now,
this Government is going to lose
UNNECESSARILY in efficiency and
money"
Senator Downey also told the
Senate that Congress should vote it
self raise. The Senator today ex-
poets to introduce amendments to
his bill which would increase the
salaries of members of Congress to
$4,000 a year, and would boost
salaries of top Government officials
by 5000 a year.
