least $4,000 army personnel are
scheduled to arrive in Seattle, Ia
coma and Portland during the last
Is days of December, bringing the
total of debarkations for the month
close to 10000. During December,
385 900 troops are expected to reach
West Coast ports, all of which are
facing the same bottleneck of rail
transportation, he added.
Citing the troop situation De-
fense Transportation Director j.
Monroe johnson warned last night
that thousands of persons planning
to travel during the holiday period
will be unable to find train space.
There simply is not enough
equipment available to bring all
these soldiers, sailors and Marines
home and at the same time handle
the expected record breaking civil
ian holiday passenger traffic"
AS far as passenger transporta-
ton is concerned, wartime condi-
tions will prevail throughout the
holiday season, he said, adding that
even II freight must be set aside
for lack of railroad capacity to met
all demands, the troops will be
moved"
Col. johnson reminded travellers
that 10 per cent Of all Pullman cars
are now in use by the armed forces

Navy League Chief
Quits Over Merqer

Bennett Grain, a Washington at

resignation as president of the Dis

charging that the national organi-
zation was attempting to influence
Congress in the proposal to merge
the armed forces.
In letter Of resignation to Ralph
A. Bard, president Of the league and
former Undersecretary Of Navy, Mr.
Grain said:
IT would under no circumstances
approve the imputations of bad faith
bordering on treason, on the part OF
advocates of uniflcation contained In
the letter OF the leagues honorary
president, Mr.. Sheldon Clark, to
Senator johnson on November 2 and

Shop|ifting Costly,
Court Officials Warn

Warning would-be shoplifters to
Withstand the temptation to "get
something for nothing" Municipal
Court officials pointed out yesterday
that the odds are against these Of
tenders.
For one thing, the department
stores own protection forces, and 43
members of the Metropolitan Po-
lice Department known as the
shopping squad" are watching for
shoppers who don't feel inclined to
pay for what they want.
Then the penalty on conviction
for petit larceny may go as high as
q $500 fine, a year in Jail, or both.
Those who prefer to forfeit col
lateral rather than appear in court
lose $25 or $50 in most cases.
This Is considered an expensive
risk in view Of the fact that most
articles listed as stolen by from to
10 defendants who daily are appear

range from under 81 to s..
Judge Quinn says many accused
of shoplifting this season have no

housing, Commissioner Klutznick
explained.
Under this program We will use
what we have" said the commits
sioner. Materials are scarce, and
much of 1t is needed for perma-
nent construction. We rearrange
partitions to create family units in
war housing"
While the exhibit is designed to
run for about four weeks, Commits
shioner Klutznick said that it may
stand for some time. Some of the
war housing could be assembled in
two weeks after reaching a site, he
said, depending on available labor,
weather and other factors. About
30 days is the normal assembling
time, he said.
Most of the buildings in the ex-
hibit will be from Hartford and
Groton, Conn, as well as Middle
River, Md. An Army barracks will
be shipped soon from the Signal
Corps station at Lee boulevard and
Glebe road at Arlington Station, Va,
to the exhibition site, authorities
said.
