Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1945-12-20
BY ALICE EYERSMAN,

The weather and the holiday acti-
vities affected to some degree the
size of the audience attending the
National Symptoms midweek con-
cert, but those present enjoyed the
two new numbers DR.. Hans Kinder
had programmed. and the singing of
Mona Paulee of the Metropolitan
Opera. Miss Paulee replaced
Blanche Thebom, who was pre-
vented from appearing, and scored
a well-deserved success in both her
numbers, especially the aria,
"Adieu, Forets," from Tschaikow-
sky's Jeanne dare"
For the opening of the program
Dr.. Kinder chose to repeat or,
rather, to allow the general public
to hear the Folk Overture" by Peter
Mennin. This work, under the name
of Festive Overture" was played a
few weeks ago at a special concert

FACING The FACTS
ABOUT
YOUR HOLIDAY TRAVEL

During December, with more than million serv-
Ice men returning from overseas, demand for
railroad passenger space will reach an all-time
high. To get these veterans home as speedily
and comfortably as possible, the capacity of the
Railroads Is being taxed to the utmost The ma
Jor1ty OF the men are landing on the Pacific
Coast So in addition to transporting troops
from Atlantic Ports, the Eastern Railroads have
had to send many cars west.
We've entered into this tremendous task with
willingness, in fact with enthusiasm But de-
spite our best efforts there have been cases
where thousands of travellers were stranded
unable to board trains. And, now, to aid the
general situation, the Eastern Railroads haze
been asked to contribute another thousand
coaches. Naturally the BIO must contribute
its share.
Unfortunately, this peak of military travel is &C.
curing right at the time when civilian traffic
normally increases. We'd like to accommodate
everyone, but the facts must be faced Sleepers
will be sold out.
Far too feW coaches aOhH be available, and those
that are ,viH be cro,vded. In many coaches there
wiH be standing room only, and sometimes not
epen that.
We of the BIO feel that our veterans come first
and we know our patrons will give us their help
and understanding during this final period of
the wartime emergency.

Tires TO Keep Pace
With New Cars
By SILER FREEMAN

Although tires are a scarce
item right now, none OF the car
manufacturers figures this is
one of the bottlenecks which
would hamper production Of
new cars once the Co signal
is flashed. BY the time autos
are again made. there will be
plenty of tires on hand to equip
them. they feel.
This bit of optimism is based
on the number of new facilities
approved and going into opera
tion to bring up output OF tires.
The facilities, of course. were
approved for military produc-
tion. But il is inconceivable that
victory in Europe will not cut
down the necessity for as many
vehicles as are projected by the
services.
The new facilities. plus what
is now on hand. could in short
order relieve the tire situation.
Tires 60 hand in hand with
textiles. a much more feared
bottleneck. But textiles are
another item that can yield TO
manpower and when that is
released from war work, textiles
and tires will both ease off and

Aids leeIess Drivers

Legless veterans will not be
deprived of the pleasure of
driving the postwar automobile
if the invention of Harry A.
Kruger Of Milwaukee. Wis.
comes up 10 his expectations.
Kruger has invented device
that Incorporates acceleration
and braking control into the
steering column.
The device works in this
fashion: The driver accelerates
by pulling the steering wheel
towards HIM and decelerates
and brakes by pushing the
steering wheel away A hydro
matte shift automatically shifts
gears.
Kruger claims the device
works smoothly and keeps any
desired speed. He estimates the
device can be installed on any
car for 500 and, if built into
cars at the factory. would add
nothing 10 the cost.

Py the Associated p-.s.

Ey the Associated Press.
SAMREE, Belgium, Jan. 13.-A
German attempt to launch flying
bombs from a portable ramp in the
Belgian bulge came to grief yester-
day.
1t. Samuel Fein, Brooklyn, flying
his Cub plane on regular mission,
could hardly believe his eyes when
he saw buzz bomb whiz past from
the general direction of a wood a
mile south of Samree He circled
and watched, despite the risk. Soon
he spotted a portable ramp. When
he saw second bomb, 1t. Fein
called for artillery fire.
A column of black smoke rose
from the ramp area.
So far as is known this was the
first time the Germans have tried
to launch their flying bombs so near
their lines The bases usually are
miles behind the front.
