.DSR Admits
Draft Crisis

With 400 DSR vehicles tied up
for lack of manpower, and with
the draft threatening TO take
more DSR operators, DSR Com
missioner Frank Rising conceded
reluctantly today that the system
faced a small crisis.
AT first. at a meeting of the
DSR commission. nc took issue
with Detroit Times story calling
attention to the prospect OF
further curtailment of service
with the Reconsideration of DSR
men under new selective service
order.
NO CRISIS YET
"The situation Is not critical"
declared Rising. 1T II serious,
but has not reached the point
Of crisis"
Turning 10 Supt William S
Bullock, "a Times reporter asked
"If the DSR isn't In critical
state. why has IL been pleading
for 500 more operators? ."
I'VE know we aren't giving
the public the service II should
he getting" said Bullock. 1--WE
would be operating about 400
additional vehicles II We had
the manpower. Nowadays we
have 10 take care OF almost
double the traffic we did before
the war"
Rising listened to this Then
he said:
"Weii, maybe We are facing
small crisis"
MAY USE SOLDIERS
He added:
"If We get 10 the point where
the lack Of manpower affects
the war effort believe we
should take extraordinary steps.
Possibly we could have some
soldiers assigned 90 drive
buses"
Bullock reported 10 the com
mission that selective service of.
