Glover Park Bus Problem
To the Editor of The star

TO the Edltof OF Inc star
The letter written by Anne w. Lindsay and
published in your May 27 issue is of great
interest to me. It has always been our policy
to answer as promptly as possible, any cor
respondence of our patrons, particularly COM
plants. We think 1t Is good business to do so
because we place high value on the construc-
tive criticisms offered by our riders.
However. we have no record of Anne Lind
says recent letter concerning the Glover Park
service. The last complaint letter from per-
son of that name was written back in 1914
1t was answered promptly and assume to the
writer's satisfaction because we had no further
correspondence
We made a careful check Of the statements
made by Anne Lindsay In her letter to you.
It so happens that on the date mentioned by
Anne Lindsay, May a. we made outbound
Glover Park line traffic readings between pm.
and pm. at Connecticut avenue and K street
NV, or within short distance of where
Anne Lindsay stated she waited Is minutes
for bus.
Our readings show that 43 trips were operated
during the period mentioned at an average
interval of five and one-half minutes Only
eight OF these trips had passengers in excess
OF the average carrying values and none in
excess of the maximum allowable capacity of
the individual buses
On the two most heavily loaded buses the
waits for the next following buses to the same
destination was six and one-half minutes after
5:o2 pm. and one and cne-haf minutes after
e:2s pm. The longest individual watts between

buses were II minutes after 3:42h pm. when
the following bus had only five standees; liz
minutes after 4:51 pm. when the following bus
had the maximum allowable capacity load Of
II; II minutes after 6:21 pm. when the
following bus had less than capacity load Of
SO, and 10 minutes after 5:37a pm. when the
following bus had less than capacity load of ST.
would appreciate it If Anne Lindsay would
write to me directly. We do not want any
letter from one of our patrons to go unanswered.
While we cannot always answer to the salts
faction of complainant, we do want them
to know the details that concern our service
to them. E. D. MERRILL,

- year.
without Action-A Black Future
In the absence of any new development the
Army plans to continue to push the repatria-
ton program as far and as fast as possible
when UNRRA ceases to exist on July l. Thus,
If nothing further is done for the DPS, it
would probably be possible to persuade some
thing like 100000 more of them to go home.
For the rest, unless the United States acts,
there is little hope. Only about 1000 DPS
month are finding their way into this country
under existing quotas. Other countries say
they intend to take in altogether, about 250,00O.
At this rate of escape there would be DPS in
Europe as long as any of them lived.
Maintaining these victims of war in their
present condition of misery is q costly busi-
ness, in dollars as we'll as in the toll Of human
suffering. The rate is roughly 81 day DIP.
The War Department figures it spent more
than s1oo 100000 in the fiscal year just ended
to keep the DPS in our camps in Germany and
Austria. This year, without UNRRA. it will
have to spend good deal more than that
unless something is done in the meantime to
get resettlement under way 4
In recognition of the idea that the DPS must
somehow be resettled, the Senate and House
Foreign Affairs Committees have approved
bill appropriating $73,50o0oo as the United
States initial contribution to an international
refugee organization, dedicated to trying TO
resettle them.
An economy minded Congress might well
reflect that this sum- too, will have been dumped
down the well-known drain If the United
States does not help provide the refugees with
a refuge. That. of course, is where Mr.. STRAIT
tons measure comes in.

Some of this information may be of great

course, will lead to perfection of revolu-

standpoint of our own security, that we

Men Are Too Timid

In his secret heart many an American
male will cheer for those Englishmen who
have begun wearing pink hats and walk
Ing around London in suits of pale pastel
shades. 1t is not the color of the thing
the idea of being brave enough to deviate
from the norm, the fine, brazen defiance
of it, the stout refusal to be cowed by what
the crowd may think.
This is courage of rare sort in a world
where most men are too tinlid to do any
thing but conform. BY and large, m the
animal kingdom, the male-the we'll
known peacock, for instance -outshines
the female. He is better looking, more
colorful, easier on the eyes, in every re-
spect finer work of art. Not so among
us bipeds, however. Among us, it is the
woman who does the outshining; the man,
unless he is that exceptional one with
enough moral gumption to wear something
like pink hat, is just drab unit in the
drab, standardized mass.
There was time, of course, when men
dressed with spectacular individuality, but
today ninety mine out of every hundred of

because the mob is clean -shaven. SINH
larly, where the snap-brim hat is the con-
ventional thing, they hesitate to put on
Homburgs. Suits are suits and trousers are
trousers, and one is expected to wear them,
so fellow is eccentric" If he goes around
much more comfortably-in a toga and
pair of sandals. Thus, too, the conforming
multitude regards it as an affectation to
carry walking sticks, and therefore few
have the fortitude to carry them.
Examples of this sort could be listed al
most without end. They all add up to q
single and simple meaning-namely, that
modern man, even though he may secretly
wish to do so is too fearful of his neigh
bor's stares and smokers to grow beard,
or carry a cane, or do something else of
the kind to nourish his ego and lend more
color to existence. male must wonder
whether the Englishmen with pink hats
and pastel suits might not be the
precursors of a trend. If they are, more
power to them!

Too Many Annulments

10 the Editor Of The Star:
I think that one of the most serious abuses
of the annulment law, which Is producing
companionate and trial marriages, is well de-
scribed in Liberty magazine. The writer, an at
torney who draws on his own experience, shows
the disruption of marriage that this abuse of
the annulment laws is causing. Originally, he
points out, annulments were designed for un-
der-age couples; this prevented the stigma Of
divorce from forever clinging to these young
people. Now, for every 100 divorces, there are
80 annulments.
It Is situation which should have the
attention OF sociologtsts and welfare workers
alike. r. MILES SHERMAN.

Selfish Support for Peace

To the Editor of The Star:
Those who advocate universal military train
ing in this country, deny the value of the
United Nations Organization; moreover they
doubt mans ability to deal with his fellow
man in peace for any length of time.
"As man thinketh in his heart, so is he"
The human race indeed will be hopeless

so years.
But it viii take much more than military
might to keep peace on earth. Men OF good will.

patriable DPS must be settled somewhere else.
This month, at long and belated last, we are
going to consider practically the question Of
how it can be done. Representative stratton.
a 33-year-od Republican war veteran from
Illinois, has introduced into Congress bill
which would permit the United States to con-
tribute its fair share" toward q solution of
the problem by bringing 100000 DPS into this
country during the next four years. If America
were to do this, there Is no question but that
the problem would be solved
Hearings on the Stratton bill start Wednes-
day before subcommittee of the House Judi
ciary Committee. They are bound to occasion
widespread debate. The measure with few
unimportant notifications, is backed by the
administration 1t will have the support of
many influential Republicans. including Sem
ator Taft
Where the DPS Came From.
1t will of course, meet strong resistance,
composed largely of apathy and bigotry in equal
parts, with just a dash of hard sense.
Who are these DPS? There were about
100000 of them In Germany, Austria and
Italy when the war ended gathered from all
over Europe. They had been forced to slave
for the Germans or rot in their concentration
camps, and when the chance came most of
them needed no special inducements to lure
them home.
To some, however, home was no longer the
place they had left behind. They came from
Eastern Europe. It is this group-those, at
least, who feared or hated communism too
much to submit to (which has supplied the
so-called DIP hard core" voluntary exiles

Add: Bus Troubles

To the Editor of The Star:
More about those Glover Park buses: Why
do they always travel in clusters of three or
four during the rush hours, with Is to 20
minute gap between clusters?
This means the first bus always is JAM
packed while the one bringing up the rear
rolls sedately along in empty splendor Seems
to me the dispatchers should space their
headway more evenly and thus distribute the
loads better.
Incidentally, that Macarthur boulevard lex
press system is joke. The buses make all
the local stops to take on passengers but
won't let any off, Where is any time saved'

EXTEND FARM
LABOR PROGRAM

The six months extension of
the federal farm labor program,
approved by the House of Rep
resentatives last week, will en-
able suger beet farmers to plan
1947 acreage with a reasonable
assurance that the crop will be
harvested, according to a state
ment by Congressman Wesley
A. DEWart.
D'Ewart took an active part
in the fight for passage of the
measure, which encountered
strong opposition from eastern
states. The labor program was
due to expire in July in the
middle of the crop season. Elk
tension for six months and liQ-
uidation of the program on Dec.
81 were provided in the bill,
which must now receive Senate
consideration.
Montana farmers produced
nearly a million tons of sugar
beets last year despite great
difficulties with the labor sup
ply, D'Ewart said in his speech
to the House. The crop is of
great Importance III view of the
sugar shortage, he continued,
but farmers are willing to ex-
pand their acreage unless they
are certain of sufficient labor
to thin and harvest the crop.
Despite some unemployment,
it was pointed out, farmers
find it almost impossible to hire
enough local labor for the
heavy "stoop" work involved in
beet production. Similar prob
lens face growers OF hops and
vegetable crops throughout the
West.
D'Ewart expressed the hope
that implement manufacturers
will be able by 1913 to supply
enough sugar beet machinery
to solve the labor problem.
Steel and other shortages have
hindered manufacture this year
despite a heavy demand for the
m machinery. determination
should eliminate the necessity
of importing seasonal labor,
D'EWart said.
