Hog Run Is Expected to End
SOAP Pinch, Packer Declares

KANSAS CITY, MO.-The house

Continuing Progress

A45-hour schedule for a 2,214-miIe
run, which involves crossing two
major mountain ranges at safe, COM
Portable speeds, will not permit stops
atmany stationson Great Northern's
main lines. Towns the streamhner
must "hiehbaR' in order to make
that schedule will be afforded the
services of other fine trains. These
supporting services will be main
tanned as long as public patronage
Justifes their operation.
Additional Improvements in passenger
services are in Great Northern's 1947
program. Nearing construction are three
smaller, modern, diesel-drawn trains.
One-the Red River Limited-will be
operated on a daily, round-trip schedule
between St. Paul and Grand Forks, N. D.
Two others-the Puget Sounders-will
provide faster daily service between
Seattle and Vancouver, B. c.
The company's policy IS responsible
for the many improvements in the rail-
ways freight services in the past several
years. Largely because of shortages of
serviceable equipment, plus lack of ma
terials for repairing and construction of
cars, freight service does not now always
measure up to Great Northern standards.
But, these war-born obstacles, which are
confronting almost every American in
dustry and business, eventually will
be surmounted.
Continuing progress in providing trans
portation services to and from its terri
tory, and the fullest possible encourage
ment for the development and welfare
of that territory are basic elements of
Great Northern's policy.

What makes a railway? Physically,
it consists of the land owe which the
steel rails extend, freight and passenger
cars, locomotives, stations, yards, shops,
stores, office buildings and a large, skilled
corps of men and women.
There is another ingredient, without
which the physical plant of a railway
would be as inefficient and unproductive
as an automobile or tractor without a
steering gear. 1t is poIicy-manaee-
menfs established plan for the con-
duct of the railways operations and
services.
Great Northern Railways policy is
older than its line from Lake Superior to
Puget Sound. The policy of continuing
progress and consistent adherence to
it have earned for Great Northern world
wide recognition as a leader in railway
transportation.
Within a short time, the people who
work and live along Great Northern will
see and hear about the newest product
of the railways program for the continu-
ing progress of its services. A fleet of
new Empire Builders soon will be
running between Chicago and the
Pacific Northwest.
Even during the war, while helping to
perform the greatest transportation job
in history, Great Northern stuck to policy
and ordered the new Empire Builders.
The sleek, diesel-powered streamliners
will be the first, ew-transcontinental
sleeping car and coach trains of the post
war period. They also will be first to
establish daily, 45-hour service over the
northern route from Seattle and Port
land to Chicago.

Famed 4th Division.
May Parade Here
On Army Day
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Plans for a military parade on
Constitution avenue on Army Day,
April 6, are being drawn up by the
War Department, it was learned to-
day. The parade is expected to be
the only one of its kind to be held
here by military units which fought
in the war and will be organized
along much the same lines as the
82d Airborne Division parade in
New York City January IL.
Plans also are being made for
Army Day parades in San Fran
cisco and San Antonio, it was
learned.
Nucleus of the parade, according
to present plans, which are to be
discussed with the District Commits
sioners and other city authorities,
will be the famed 4th Infantry Di-
vision, which has a notable war
record, including spearheading the
beach attack on Normandys Utah
Beach. The gallant 4th, less the
casualties it sustained in the Euro
pean fighting, would be brought here
from camp Butner, N. Z.
Heavy Invasion Losses.
While the LIST Division and q task
force OF the 18th Division, composed
of National Guardsmen from Mary
land, Virginia and Pennsylvania, to-
gether with Ranger and engineer
units, attacked at Omaha Beach on
June 6, 1914, Doughboys of the 4th
Division crossed Utah Beach a few
miles away, paying a heavy price in
casualties against the German beach
defenses.
The 4th twice captured the little
French town of Montebourg, lost it
and captured and held it on the
third assault. Then the troopers Of
the 4th took part in the three-di-
vision drive on Cherbourg, moving
up the east side of the Cotentin
Peninsula, while the 18th moved
straight up the backbone of the mar
row strip of land and the 9th Di-
vision drove in from the west. Many
launching sites for V-bombs di-
rected at London, Bristol, Plymouth
and other cities in England were
overrun by the 4th and other Amer
lean infantry divisions.
About 1900 Men.
Elements of all arms, including
the armored forces, air force, para
chute infantry, engineers and all the
units that go into an attack unit of
the United States Army will be in
the parade along Constitution ave-
nue., or flying overhead
The parade, like that of the 82d
Airborne in New York, will be of ap-
proximate division strength, or be-
tween $4,000 and $1,000 men. Based
on the time of march of the New
York parade, it will take between
one and one-haf and two hours to
pass given point.
1t is the only major military show
at present planned for Washington
following the war. The War De-
partment later will announce the
units to take part.

Ex-Navy Officer Fined 500
For Threat With Pistol

Harold p Berry, Is, former Navy
lieutenant, was fined 500 and costs
in Bethesda Trial Magistrates Court
today on a charge growing out of
his firing a .45-caliber pistol into
the ground in an attempt to frighten
a trash collection crew into taking
away a discarded box.
The alteration occurred at Berry's
home, 4416 Chestnut street, Be-
thesda. January 4. According to
Robert Jackson, colored, foreman of
the Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission crew, Berry used the
gun after the trash collectors had
refused to cart off a box. The for
mer naval officer was charged with
attempted assault.
In sentencing Berry, Judge James
Christopher said the court could not
condone the "act of any individual
in using firearms to brighten public
servants"
Berry was discharged from the
Navy December after three years
service. He plans to enter the Uni
verSity of Maryland next week.

Plea 10 Buy Twin Oak,
To Be Considered by
Planners This Week

The Cleveland Park Community
Committee today made public a
letter to Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant III,
chairman of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission, re-
questing that the commission buy
the entire Twin Oaks estate, 1925
Woodley road NV, for a recrea-
ton center.
The letter asked that the COM
mission consider purchase of the
whole estate, rather than a 10-acre
tract, the normal amount for a
center of the type in question, on
the ground that the populous area
of Cleveland Park has scarcely any
public land.
while Cleveland Park lies ad-
jacent to the Zoo and Rock Greek
Park, these areas do not have 1ec-
reatlonal center facilities, and it
is not safe for children to wander
in these areas unattended" the
letter said. 49,. ..-. -
The letter, which is signed by
Mrs. Cazenove Lee. 3542 Newark
street NV, committee chairman,
points out that the Connecticut
avenue Citizens Association has
urged purchase of the estate.
A staff member of the planning
commission said today the commits
sion would consider the plea at its
monthly meeting this week.
The committee, formed of repre-
|sentatives from three citizens asso-
Citations, businessmen's groups
churches and schools in the Cleve-
land Park area, was formed orig
inally to campaign for a Cleveland
Park branch library, but continues
to function as a liaison group for
the community.

|66O,156 Questions Handled
By Capital runsit in 1915

More than half the population OF
Washington asked questions last
year about streetcar and bus sched-
ules and everything else from
etiquette to the secret of wandering
safely through the Pentagon, the
Capital Transit Co. said today in a
report on the activities of its in
formation department in 1945.
During the year, 660,156 queries
were handled by the information
staff of 10 clerks, who are experts
in routing people about the city on
streetcars and buses. The public
didn't stop at asking questions about
transit operations, however.

Here are some other questions:
How much would it cost to ship a
horse from Washington to Louis
lana?
Would you please look through
your buses for my husband who is
in the habit of falling asleep on
his way home from work?"
On one occasion, a stranger in
the Pentagon asked the transit firm
to direct him to his destination in
the building. He said he had called
Capital Transit for information on
other matters and had confidence
they also knew the answers to the
Pentagon maze.

dc. Heads Slate Study
Next Week on Stormy
Liquor Store Hearinq

The District Commissioners will
consider the proposed lifting of the
current limit of 300 on District
package liquor stores sometime
next week" after they get a tran
script of yesterdays stormy six
hour debate between veterans
anxious to open stores and repre-
sentatives of dealers now in bust
ness, a spokesman said today.
The Washington Federation of
Churches and lawyers for the
Washington Retail Liquor Dealers
Association were on the same side
as they urged veto of the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Boards desire for
a blue sky" licensing policy.
The Rev. Francis w. McPeek,
representing the churches, said only
a few veterans will have enough
money to start liquor businesses. On
the other hand, thousands of the
ex-service men-and the public
win benefit by keeping Washington
a city of definitely high moral
Tone" Mr.. McPeek said.
Forecasts Sales Drop.
F. Joseph Donohue, representing
the Beverage Bulletin, house or
gan for Milton S. Kronheim, liquor
dealer, added that veterans should
not feel success in the liquor bust
ness is "sure thing" once they get
a class A license. The present boom
in liquor sales will not last, he said.
John L. Laskey, counsel for the
dealers association, denied charges
by veterans of a racket" in the
sale of licenses. ..
Only one Commissioner, Guy
Mason, was present and he left
late in the afternoon when a spokes-
man for the veterans, George Papa
nicolas, charged unfair allotment
of time between industry and vet
eran speakers. Mr.. Mason first
protested that he had allowed the
veterans nearly three hours to
ask for lifting of the ban. Then
angered, he ordered the hearing
adjourned. However, as he left the
room, the Commissioner said the
secretary should continue to record
Mr.. PapanicolaS' remarks.
Citizens Viewpoints Presented.
Z. Among opponents of lifting the
ban were John Connaughton, rep
resenting the Federation of Citizens
Association: Clinton H. Howard,
general superintendent of the In
ternational Reform Federation; Mrs
Ernest w. Howard of the Columbia
Heights Citizens Association, and
George Fraser, speaking as tax
payer. They said the city already
has too many liquor stores.
Mr.. Papanicolas, before he an
gered Commissioner Mason, was at
tempting to refute a statement by
Mr.. Laskey that liquor supplies
are already low among stores now
open. Mr.. Laskey added that Wash
ington now has So liquor stores te
every 10000 persons, while cities
of comparable size have 1.8.
Mr.. Papanicolas commended there
is no liquor shortage. Another vet.
