Transit Bond Sale
Al 98az Is Approved

The Capital Transit Co. today had
the approval of the Public Utilities
Commission to accept a bid of 981a
per cent of the par value of a pro-
posed $12 100000 bond issue.
The PUG late yesterday author
lied the company to accept the bid,
offered by syndicate headed by
Alexander Brown & Sons of Balti-
more, whose earlier bid of 97h was
rejected in December by the PUG
and Securities and Exchange Com
mission. The SEC has not yet
passed on the new bid.
After reviewing briefly the his
tory of the bond issue, the PUC's
order merely stated that "the COM
mission finds that the approval of
the application of the Capital Tran
sit Co. is in the public interest" !"
The last bid was rejected as being
too low.
The company also has authority
to borrow $2,500,000. With the bonds
and bank loans, together with the
use of cash on hand, the transit
company proposes to retire about
$4,000 900 of long-term debts. The
ref1nancing program is designed to
eliminate large cash requirements
for debt retirements now scheduled
for 1947 and 1851.

Poll Of Educators
Backs Preparedness
BY the Associated Press.

The first Nationwide survey of
educators on compulsory military
training today showed the predom-
inant belief that there should be a
preparedness program" after the
war.
The survey was conducted by the
National Education Association.
Questionnaires were sent to school
superintendents in all communities
having a population of more than
$500 About one third replied.
The QUESTIONABLE was not con-
fined to fiat yes-or-no on whether
there should be enforced military
training. In their replies, the edu-
Gators Endorsed these paralleling
propositions: (The percentage
which gave their approval in each
instance is noted.)
There should be a more extensive
preparedness program after the war
than in prewar years (85 per cent?
The postwar training program
should be combination of several
types of education including such
branches as military, camping, ma
tional service on useful public
projects, etc. (48).
America should decide after the
war, and not now, whether it should
have military training (6D.
If there is national service 1t
should apply to boys only (6D.
If there should be extensive camp
ing programs, they should be pro-
vided for boys and girls (76).

Maryland Planning
To Take 2-AMen From
Domestic Industries

District selective service has re-
ceived supplementary call amount
ing to Is per cent over its regular
call to scoop up all job jumpers who
can't pass the regular physical
standards of the Army, it was
learned today.
Local draft officials said, however,
they did not expect they would have
to make use of the entire call. 1t
was set large presumably to draft all
the deferred men who leave essen
tial jobs without draft board per-
mission, regardless of their physical
condition, it was explained.
Meanwhile, the latest threat to
younger deferred men-Secretary of
War Stimson's announcement yes
terday that all fit men under 30 in
factories and Government would
have to be drafted-today drew from
District Fire Chief Stephen T. Por-
ter the prediction that If the Fire
Department lost any more of its
younger men it would "jeopardize
the safety of our city"
'Lifelines Are Thin"
Chief Porter reported that 88 men
under 80 have been deferred in the
Fire Department, which already has
143 vacancies in its assigned strength
of $40 men.
"Our lifelines are already very
thin," he said. Il pray they don't

Stables Injunction
In 0PA Ration Fight
Appealed by Agency

The Office of Price Administra-
tion today filed notice of appeal to
the ruling of District Court Justice
Daniel w. O'Donoghue that the
agency be enjoined from enforcing
a suspension order against the
Stables Restaurant.
Justice ODonoghue, in signing a
final judgment yesterday, criticized
the OPA for the manner in which
1t conducted its hearing, which re-
suited in the OPA suspension order
on a charge the restaurant had OBJ
tanned meat without ration points.
Attorney T. Edward O'Connell,
representing the restaurant owners,
who filed the suit for Injunction,
said the District Court action
marked the first time an OPA sus-
pension order has been reversed.
Violation of Rights.
Justice ODonoghue held that the
'OPA hearing was conducted in
fragrant violation of the constitu-
tional rights of the complainants in
that the main portion of the hear
ing was devoted to consideration of
matters wholly unrelated to the H.
sues involved"
He found further that "the most
substantial part of the testimony
against complainants was induced
by the payment of $1,000 red points
to one witness, while another wit
ness was coerced into testifying BY
measures taken to prevent him from
obtaining employment unless he
testified against eomplainants in the
manner decided by the Office Of
Price Administration" NJ
Justice ODonoghue declared the
suspension order was wholly un-
justified by the evidence submitted
to the hearing commissioner.
THE substance of the testimony
against compliments was the result
of duress and coercion to such a
degree as to render it unworthy OF,
belief" the jurist declared. i
Calls Order "Cruel."
He described the order barring the
restaurant from dealing in rationed
foodstuffs for the duration of ration
ing as cruel, unusual and is con-
fiscatory and a fragrant violation
of due process"
In his conclusions. Justice ODonog-
hue found that the refusal of the
defendants to issue complainants
sufficient ration points of all kinds
to enable them to properly conduct
their business is in violation of
law"
Besides enjoining the OPA from
suspending the right of the restau-
rant to deal in rationed foods,
Justice ODonoghue enjoined Price
Administrator Bowles and others
of the OPA from refusing to issue
sufficient ration points to the res
taurant

and eggs who have been deferred
on occupational grounds may be
reclassified into la in the near
future.
For the present, however, Col.
Stanwood added, men working in
actual war production and holding
2-B classifications will retain their
deferred status.
Men Up to 81 May Be Called.
All those now holding IA ratings,
even though they have dependents
and are 81 years old, may be re-
classified and inducted, depending
on the practice of the various Mary
land boards, the Maryland director
said.
While the men in the 26-30 age
bracket now classed in IA will be
drawn as long as they last, Col
Stanwood said, it is certain that
to fill calls the boards will have
to draw on men right up to the
draft age limit of 81 years.
Col Stanwood's statement ap-
peared to point up conflict that
draft officials admit has arisen out
of the recent announcements BY
Secretary Stimson and War Mobili-
zation Director ByrneS.
On one hand, draft officials point
ed out, they are being told to cal
the deferred men who are not max
ing direct contribution to wal
production, while on the other hand
the emphasis is being laid on call
ing men under 30
In the District, it was emphasized
draft boards have not been liberal
in deferring men. in the 26-29 age
bracket. More of the IA men,
those in war supporting rather than
direct war production activities
are in the over-30 group. Secretary
Stimson, however, made it clear that
the Army wants men under 30 to
fill its needs for combat replace
ments.

Plight Of Hundreds
Of Homes Without Oil

The Soviet Embassy, like sew
eral hundred Washington homes,

With three days TO go before

valid. hundreds of homes here were
reported down to bare operating
stocks. Ration boards were over
taxed with applications for supple
mental rations to tide home own
ers over to Monday.
An official of the Colonial Fuel
Oil Co., which services the Russian
Embassy, said the Embassy had used
up all its valid coupons, and until
more coupons were issued by its ra-
ton board no oil would be forth
coming.
At the Embassy, a spokesman said
they expected to get by until the
new period begins, and were burn
ing only limited amounts of what
little oil was left.
Envoy Overcoated Indoors.
Ambassador Gromyko yesterday
wore an overcoat while receiving
one caller. He simply remarked that
some one had told him the building
was out of oil.
District Office of Price Admins
tration officials were reluctant to
discuss the number of homes out of
oil. They claimed it might start a
run by persons who actually have
enough oil to tide them over to
next week.
A check with dealers, however,
showed that many homes were with
out supplies. In such cases, home
owners may apply to their boards
for an emergency ration.
All dealers reported they had large
backlogs Of orders awaiting to be
filled Monday. One supplier esti-
mated the number wanting oil on
that day at ceseato 400.
I'VE haEGA times as many orders

dealer commented.
Working On Short Orders.
+ Dealers also were working over
time making short deliveries to
their customers this week, issuing
fuel on the remaining valid coupons
held by customers. They were most

he said some of these would be able
