put into effect in more than two
years-since early 1914.
The higher prices were put into
effect in Washington Sunday. In
Warner Bros. houses the
increases were made last week.
Spokesman for other motion pic
ture houses in the city said they
had not followed the Warner Bros.
lead in boosting prices, and knew
of no plans for general increase
in neighborhood theater admission
prices.
A meeting of the Motion Picture

ress this morning. While lit was
said to have been called TO trans

pressed within the industry that
the Warner Bros. increase would

.Sa|eof Surplus
.HereAttracts
Small Crowd
Veterans Are Able
To Muke Purchases
Within 20 Minutes

The first large-scale surplus prop
erty sale ever held by the Washing
ton district Office of the War Assets
Administration attracted only few
hundred veterans at the opening
today in the Washington Quarter
master Depot, Alexandria.
Improved, procedures, however,
were said by veterans to have made
this sale of $4,000, 900 worth of mis-
cellaneous goods the best conducted
of any in this part of the country.
In marked contrast to a similar
sale in Baltimore several weeks ago,
a veteran buying goods for use in
his own business could complete his
transaction quickly. Veterans who
inspected samples laid out on coun-
ters said they were able to look over
the materials, make purchase and
have it processed within 20 minutes.
Although fewer than 500 veterans
had visited the depot up until noon,
more than $50 sales were completed
and approximately 100000 in cash
had been received during the first
three hours, WAA officials an
nounced. This was far above re-
ceipts and sales during a CORE
spending period at the Baltimore
sale, which was attended by more
than 5000 veterans.
Will Continue Through Friday.
The Alexandria sale will continue
for certified veterans from 8 am.
to 3 pm. daily through Friday.
War Assets Administrator Robert
M. Littlejohn, Howard c. Went
worth, head of the Washington dis
trict ofhce, and H. L. Scott of New
Orleans, sale expert for WAA, were
on hand when the first 800 veterans
were admitted to the large ware
house at 9 am. About $50 veterans
had been there since 7 am, but
there were no long waiting lines
such as those at earlier sales else
where.
More than 500 separate items
ranging from kitchen equipment to
kerosene lamps, brooms, woolen
blankets and paper, were available
but could be purchased only by
veterans for use in business. This
was not department store" sale
Of the type held last week in New
Orleans when veterans were allowed
to buy various items for personal use
merely by showing proof of hon.
orable discharge.
100 Sales in Two Hours.
About 100 sales were completed
during the first two hours and these
were in comparatively large quanti-
ties. Miss Dorothy McGraw, a for
mer WAC. bought 385 ski parkas
for resale in her Alexandria general
merchandise store. Melvin Berkow,
Of 611s New Hampshire avenue NV,
purchased $1,045 worth of shoe
brushes for his business. He said
the Alexandria sale was the most
efficient of any kind he attended so
far.
The first veteran who completed a
sale was Harold e. Battinus, Chi
cago. who flew here for the sale and
bought l 500 towels for $239. Within
an hour about 40 Of the 500 items
were sold out by the lis WAA en-
ployes at the sale. !

CapitaI Transit Files
Order Of $500, 1000
For 200 New Buses

A confirming order for 200 new

plianed the order would provide for

smaller buses on other lines as well

tenn will supply warm air in winter

Patent Office
GetsMoreSpace
AtGrave|IyPoint.
$1,000 Square Feet
Are Added TO Avoid
Overlooking Of Floor
By Froncis P. DouoIos

The Patent Once has been rs.
signed about $4,000 square feet Of
space in Temper airy Building No.
at Gravelly Point in addition to the
original ALLEGATION Of $4,000 square
feet, it was learned today. The extra
space was provided to spread heavy
equipment so as not to overload the
floors.
Eight Patent Once divisions were
moved into the temporary building
at Gravelly Point from Richmond,
Va, last week. and it is expected
the remaining % divisions will be
moved by October 10 or Is.
Richmond Was Model.
The original ALLEGATION of space
at Gravelly Point was made on the
basis of matching the space used
by the Patent ONCE in Richmond.
However, in Richmond the Patent
Once occupied former tobacco
warehouse, the floors of which were
designed for heavy loads.
Floor loads of 55 pounds a SQUARE
foot were allowed in the Grayelly
Point building, whereas the Patent
Once loads in Richmond could run
as high as 29l pounds per square
foot. The various divisions keep 1iles
OF patents which are stored in steel
or wood cases. A steel shoe case"
as it is called. has 70 drawers and
when filled with weight about 750
pounds.
The problem of weight was fore
seen and it was noted that floor
weights had already made the floor
sag in the Gravelly Point building,
The Public Buildings Administra-
ton assigned the Patent Once the
second floor of the fourth wing in
addition to the space in the fifth
and sixth wings.
Expansion of Personnel.
1t is pointed out the wider area
will make it easier to expand the
personnel.
The Patent Office also has re-
ceived about 2,400 additional square
feet in the north end of the Com
merce Building, permitting expan-
sion OF the financial and trade mark
divisions. The latter division is ex-
pected to be expanded from so to
100 per cent because of the wider
registration of trade marks per-
mitted under a new law in effect
next July.

Veterans Start
Moving Into
SligoProject
Pacific Veteran Gets
First Key to Homes
Made From Burrucks

Veterans and their families to-
day started moving into bare wooden
houses I'm Sligo parkway, Silver
Spring, and the first excl noted
their resemblance to wartime bar
racks, but said, 1T seems like
heaven to me-"
The first family to get the keys to
one of the houses was that of
Thomas H. Mather, which was per-
mitted to move in last night.
Mr.. Mather is the first of about 200
exservicemen who have obtained
houses in the Sligo Park housing de-
velopment.
A total of Ill units are near COM
pletion, 70 more are contracted for
and, in addition, 20 trailers will be
toWed to the premises for occupancy.
10 Others to Move In.
Nineteen other families, who are to
move in this week, will receive their
keys this afternoon.
ut certainly seems wonderful to
me-" Mr.. Mather said, sitting in his
half-furnished living room with his
wife and 1-year-old daughter
Sharon. I'VE were living doubled
up with another family in q one
room apartment in Silver Spring.
We had to move yesterday or else
pay another half-months' rent in
our old place"
The Mathers' home is a tiny place
with a bedroom, living room and
kitchenette. The home is fur
nished with a kerosene heating
stove, an old-fashioned icebox and
some GI furniture rented for $4
q month.
Mr.. Mather, a Pacific infantry
veteran who now is an electrician
with the Civil Service Commits
sion, moved in last evening by
candlelight. At that time the entire
project was deserted. Neither the
gas for the cooking stove. nor the
had been turned on.
But we had fine nights Sleep"
added Mrs. Mather, "and Sharon
didn't cry once all night long"
Dedication Scheduled.
The development will be opened
officially this afternoon when Oliver
Winston, area director of the FPHA:
E. Brook Lee, National Capital Park
and Planning Commission member,
and other Montgomery County and
Federal housing officials make
tour of the premises.
Mr.. Lee, who was a leader in the
move to have county authorities
make land available for the project
and put in sewer and water facil-
tiles, admitted that the houses were
much less than the veterans de-
serve" but said they were better
than nothing at all
Rental in the development varies
from So month for a trailer to
$36 for two-bedroom house.
Ground was broken in April for the
development, which is under the
management of the Montgomery
County Housing Authority.
