/ t'WeI, Mr.. Richardson, does man.
aging Washington's transit system
take up much Of your timer" the
reporter asked.
Guy A. Richardson, head Of the
highway transport department of
the Once Of Defense Transporta-
ton. looked thoughtful for a min
ute. The man to whom President
Truman turned over the Capital
Transit Co. after strikes tied up Its
operations for the second time in
one month, drummed with his fin
gers on polished desk.
NO" he said slowly, q" no
I don't think you could say it takes
much OF my time"
We'll. how much time do you
spend up there on the ayerage?"
Il don't understand what you
mean"
well. for instance, when was the
last time you were at the ofnces OF
the Capital Transit Coz"
Mr.. Richardson looked very sur
prised.
MY dear young man." he said
Il was there once years ago when
was visiting from Chicago, but ]
haven't been back since and see no
reason for going now"
1t appears that those sympathetic
souls who have been feeling sorry
for Mr.. Richardson and silently
commiserating with him in what
certainly sounds like q headache
inducing task can sit back and relax
because that is precisely what Mr.
Richardson is doing. The impress
sion this reporter received Is that
II there is one word which charac-
terizes both Mr.. Richardson and the
atmosphere in his ONCE ut the In

The FIRST Of more than 80 wit.
nesses was testifying in District
Court today against Representative
James M. Curiey of Massachusetts,
and four other defendants charged
with using the mails to defraud
and conspiracy in connection with
the operation here of the defunct

The initial testimony, which fol.
lowed selection Of a jury yester-
day and the prosecutions OPEN
Ing statement, was given by
Theodore L. Block, Washington
real estate agent. He said he
rented Office space to the corpora.
ton at 1922 Seventeenth street NV.

G. Fuller, one Of the defendants,
described as the wheel horse" Of
the project. Fuller has been serv-
ing time for conviction of sending
fraudulent securities through the
mails.
William A. Paisley, special assist

ident Of the group for the first few
months Of operation, during which
1t took IN some $45 600 in fees for
alleged services in obtaining Fed

MIR. Paisley told the Jury the Gov

Curley resigned from the corpora
ton in December, 1941, at about
the time United States Army in
vestigators began to interroeata
clients Of the firm as to what sery-
ices had been promised them BY
the engineers"
Curley was succeeded, Mr.. Paisley
said, by another defendant, James
Burton Underwood. The prosecutor
estimated the firm took in soma
$65 900 while Curley and Underwood
served as presidents, and returned
only about 5000 when contracts
were not forthcoming and sor,e
clients became insistent on getting
back their deposits"
Other defendants are Donald
Wakefield Smith, former member Of
the National Labor Relations Board.
and Bertram Hall, an engineer Of
Dallas, Tex, and Tulsa, Okla. At

Grandmother let the "lemon-aid"
method help her. Here are some
"tried and true" lemon cleaning
favorites of hers:
To Brighten Utensils
Aluminium pans and other kitch-
en- utensils r easily cleaned with
q lemon and kitchen salt. Mix salt
with a little juice from the lemon
and rub the article to be cleaned.
Then wipe off with a wet rag.
Afterwards, shine with metal pol
ish and you will have a surface as
bright as new.
Clean Fixtures
AL good housekeepers know glass
should sparkle and shine. So she
never overlooks the fixtures
throughout the house. Here's grand
mothers method: She rubs the
glass with . cut lemon or soaks
It in lemon juice and water, then
dries with . cloth which leaves no
lint. Result: luster returned. This
% good for glass double boilers and
saucepans.
Marks caused by match striking
on a painted surface can be re-
moved by rubbing with a cut lemon.
II you want that gloss to remain
on painted or enameled woodwork
or linoleum, use juice of n lemon
to one quart of water as a rinse
after cleaning these surfaces.
