Coal Order Cancels
Only Cd. {. Trains;;
Two Circuses Hit

Washington doesn't stand to suf-
fer much curtailment of railroad
service because of the coal mine
stoppage, but two circuses scheduled
to go through the town won't fare
SO well, it appeared today.
Only nine trains serving Wash
ington will be Cancelled when The
Office OF Defense TRANSPORTATION
curtailment order takes effect Sum
day midnight, according to the rail-
roads here.
Two were listed by the Richmond,
Fredericksburg & Potomac Railroad
and seven by the Baltimore g. Ohio.
All are local commuter trains.
But the r. F. & P. today disclosed
it has Cancelled its contract to haul
the Ringing Bros. -Barnum & Bal
ley Circus from Richmond to WASH
ington on its way to New York for
its annual grand opening April Z.
Shows Appear Stranded.
Also Cancelled was the roads con-
tract for the Strates Shows circus
which is due in Washington a week
from today.
Since the ODT order prohibits
any railroads from hauling circuses
and carnivals. it appeared that the
two shows were stranded unless the
ODT IS willing to issue a special
permit.
Whether or not the Ringing cir
Gus will open in Madison Square
Garden will depend on the serious
ness of the coal situation by the
time the show must move north, the
transportation Office said today. A
few special permits have been
granted to circuseS during past coal
strikes. but officials declined to COM
init themselves on what action
might be taken in this case.
The Ringing show is slated to
play in Washington about six weeks
after the scheduled New York OPEN
ing.
Local Trains Affected.
The local trains affected by the
ODT order here are the following:
The r., F. & P. will abandon two
daily runs between here and Rich
mond. One leaves Washington at. S
pm, the other leaves Richmond
at 7:30 am.
