Curb on Vacations
Seen as 0DT Cuts
Rail Reservations
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Faced with a tremendous rail
transport job as the Nations
armed might swings toward
Japan, the Government has
decreed that reservations on
passenger trains may be OBJ
tanned no more than five days
in advance, instead of the pres
ent 30-day limit.
This action was ordered by the
Office of Defense Transportation
last night shortly after the Army
ordered 1000 soldiers furloughed fol
30 days work on the railroads tc
avert a breakdown and keep troops
and supplies rolling to the Pacific
The f1ve-day limit, effective al
midnight last night, may play hot
with many a vacation plan. Un-
able to buy Pullman reservations or
reserved seats in chair ears more
than five days in advance, depart
ing vacationers will not be sure
that they can return on time by
rail-
The step was part of a drive to
discourage trips considered unes-
sential. ODT Director J. Monroe
johnson said it was taken to "as-
sure the maximum utilization of
the limited amount of space now
available to civilians as a result of
the greatly increased demand for
military transportation"
Oficials explained that another
purpose of the order is to make ii
easier for furloughed soldiers to OBJ
tain train space. Under the 30-day
limit, it was explained, it was pos
sible for vacationers and other civil
ians to tie up much of the available
space.
However, reservations already
made are not Cancelled by the order.

She added that it was intensely
interesting to see with my own eyes
Moscow and Leningrad, two cities

wanted to see all my life. The an
cient Kremlin on Red square here
can never be forgotten when once
seen and no words can possibly des-
cribe it.
In olden days, Negroes served as
attendants and chamberlains at
this same Kremlin. One of them
once rushed into Red square with
a sheet to gather the broken body
of the cars minister, Matveyev,
who had been hacked to death by re-
belling soldiers. The luxury of the
former car and czarian's palaces
and quarters enchanted Rep. Boil

She said that Leningrad is a
magnificent city. It's famous thor
oughfare, Nevsky, is one of the
worlds most beautiful streets. She

fast recovering from it's war

less bombing and shelling during
the long German and Finnish siege.
Rep. Bolton discovered that women
