Each man picked his favorite

Bus Service Begins
I'd Quarter Century

Washington bus service over reg
ular routes began its second quar-
ter-century today, its 25th anniver-
sary having passed virtually un-
noticed.
One of the few who recalled the
milestone yesterday was w. Elkins
Reed, founder and president of the
Washington Rapid Transit Co.,
which began operations March l,
1921. Mr.. Reed, now an executive
OF a bus sales organization here
said he had thought of having a
party to mark the anniversary
However, he decided against it, be-
cause SO few of the local bus pio-
neers still are active in this area.
Buses first appeared on the Rapid
Transit Co.'S Sixteenth street NV
line. Twenty high, stubby vehicles
the last word in trackless mass
transportation at the time, were
placed in service and advertised as
easy to start, stop, and easy to
ride in" "
The small fleet had no reserves
In the early days, and each driver
was assigned a specific bus. Driv-
ers assisted in maintenance of their
vehicles, which often was accom-
phshed between the morning and
afternoon rush periods.
In addition to Mr.. Reed, the
founders of WRIT included William
p. killeen, deceased and lem
Arnold, who left the firm, in 1926
TO form the Washington, Virginia
and Maryland Motor Coach Co.
In 1886, the WRIT was acquired
by the Capital Transit Co.
Two of the first employees still are
working here. L. S. Teets operates
one of the more than 1000 buses of
Capital Transit, and Robert Atkin-
son is a fare-box inspector.

The American Automobile Associ-

chief OF the United States Secret
Service, yesterday to start a cam
paign among motorists to lock
parked cars to prevent 'teen-age
delinquents from stealing them and
thus embark on life of crime.
Mr.. Wilson's recommendation

MIR. Wilson told the committee
boys and girls under 81 were re-
sponsible in 1914 for SO per cent of

II the AAA were to adopt such a
program, he said, it would be
adopting the same tactics the
Secret Service has found successful
in combating counterfeiting and
forgery-education of the potential
victims to be on their guard.
II there is no victim, he said, there
can be no crime and, hence, no
criminal.
Following his speech Adelbert w.
Lee, member of the District of Co.

Removal Of Agencies
From DC. Apartments
Asked by Mcmillan

Chairman Mcmillan of the House
District Committee appealed to
President Truman last night to re-
lieve the extremely critical" hous-
ing shortage here by bringing to
an end the use of residential build
isgs as Offices for Government
agencies.
AS head of the District Commit
tee Mr.. Mcmillan is besieged daily
by returning veterans and Govern
ment employees, he said, to aid them
In, locating an apartment or room.
He was reliably informed, he said,
that from 1900 to 1000 family units
were being used for Government
Offices and asked for presidential
aid in transferring them to Govern
ment buildings.
Thinks Time Sufficient.
IT would think that eight to ten
months after the termination of the
war" he wrote, "a sufficient number
OF war agencies should have been
abolished to give the agencies now
using apartment buildings an op-
portunity to move into regular Gov
ernment office buildings"
Mr.. Mcmillan said he considered
the housing conditions in Wash
ington so critical he would continue
to exert every effort" to assist the
people here in locating "a decent
place to live"
He requested the President to di-
rect the appropriate Government
official to investigate the situation
to determine if the Government
agencies using apartment buildings
could transfer their activities to
some Government Office building.
He added:
Used by Foreign Powers.
II also have been reliably in
formed that some of the foreign
governments are utilizing a number
of the family dwellings and apart
ment houses of Washington for Of
flee space. I will appreciate your
assisting the District Committee
and the Commissioners in having
all apartment buildings here, used
for Office space, vacated to give the
returning veterans and their fam
lilies a place to live"
He said he thought that with all
the temporary Government build
ings that were erected here during
the war there should be sufficient
space IN Office buildings to take
care OF the needs of both the con-
tinuing Government agencies and
the representatives of the foreign

larly.
Thirty USO units will tour the

pushed by Veterans Administrator
