New Address Notification
Needed 10 Speed Auto Tags

Automobile owners who have
changed their addresses and failed
to notify the Traffic Department
stand little chance of receiving
their 1850 tags by mail.
George E. Keneipp, traffic di-
rector, said that car owners and
drivers who fail to notify the de-
partment of a change of address
within five days after moving are
guilty of a misdemeanor.
Each year several thousand tag
applications are returned to the
department because of wrong ad-
dresses" Mr.. Keneipp said. An
application cannot be forwarded
to the new address by the POST
Office Department and when it is
returned it is put to one side until
the owner calls personally. This
means many unnecessary phone
calls and waiting periods for the
owner until the new application
can be made up"
Applications for new tags are
mailed to registered owners and
when returned. they receive their
tags without having to visit the
department and take their place

Medical equipment valued at
$4,000 is among contributions re-
ceived by Suburban Hospital, Be-
thesda, during its current annual
drive.
The donation was made by the
Silver Spring Lions. Club. Less
spectacular are the many smaller
donations which have brought the
campaign total to $4,000. The
goal is 100000.
This years campaign has a
dual purpose. First, and most
important, is the need to repay
the $4,000 which the Hospital
Association borrowed from five
banks to buy the building from
the Government.
Second, the hospital must have
outside funds to continue operat-
ing in the black.
AS a result of the purchase. The
hospital is now owned by the coi11
munity and any one who con-
tributes as little as So automati-
cally becomes a member OF the
Hospital Association and has a
voice in running the 100-bed in
stitution.
AS for the question why the hos
pital is not self-supporting, Off
.cials have a ready answer. They
point out that large portion of
the deficit is incurred because of
the hospitals charity work.
For example, the State Welfare
Department pays a maximum of
$40 a day for all hospital services
needed for patients the depart
ment certifies are in need of medi-
cal care and are eligible for hos
pitalization.
The actual cost of hospital care
per day last year was $15.28 and

Coal Crisis Here
Due eifCo|d Spell
Lasted for Week
Steady Freeze Needed
To Create Threot,
Dealers Agree

A critical coal shortage could
develop here next month if a real
cold spell should set in, coal
dealers spokesman said last night
Patrick A. Deck, head of the
Merchants and Manufacturers As
sociation's coal division, said deal
ers' stocks generally are down to
a fourth of normal He described
the situation as already serious. -
At the same time, Mr.. Deck and
other leading distributors said
there is no immediate danger that
they will run short. 1t would take
week or two of steady below
freezing temperatures to create
that threat, the dealers agreed.
The Weather Bureau promised
more mild weather in it's forecast
for today and tomorrow. A high
temperature in the SOS is expect
ed today.
Pepco Unaffected.
Only the city's commercial
dealers reported dwindling coal
supplies yesterday. The Capitals
biggest coal users, the Govern
ment's heating plants and the
Potomac Electric Power Co., have
coal piles big enough to last all
winter. and Pepco is unaffected
by weather changes in any case,
officials said.
The fuel dealers normally keep
about months supply on hand,
according to Mr.. Deck. Most of
them now are down to the one
week level, and as long as the
three-day mine week continues
there is no prospect this situation
will improve, he said.
The spokesman said some deal
ers have resorted to a system of
voluntary rationing." While not
refusing orders. they send the
customer less than his full order
if possible, he explained.
Several of the city's largest
distributors said they are not yet
following this practice. But an
official of one, Griffith Consumers,
said a cold spell would quickly
cut his firms one-week margin
down to three days.
Coal is just not coming in as
fast as it goes out. The picture
is not at all promising, the Off
cial commented.
Higher Soft Coal Demand.
Both hard and soft coal supplies
are feeling the pinch, dealers
said, although heavier demand
for soft coal by commercial users
office and apartment buildings
and similar Stabhshments-has
depleted that stock rnere than the
domestic fuel used in most homes.
A prolonged freeze would hit both
classes of users, dealers said.
In the meantime, some dealers
can't supply some sizes and some
grades. Stocks vary almost on
day-to-day basis, they reported.
Mr.. Deck estimated that Wash
ington dealers normally receive
from 1,700 to 1900 carloads of
coal a month. In December. the
flow was reduced to around 1900
to 1,400, he said. From a normal
OF $4,000 to 100000 tons, current
stocks have dipped to a total of
about 10000 to 10000, he esti-
mated.
If bad-weather shortage
should occur. the dealers will ap-
peal to the Commissioners for a
coal-conservation order, Mr.. Deck
said. There are no plans for such
a step now. he added.

WHATS WRONG WITH TODAY?
BY RUTH TAYLOR

How many people do you know
who act as though today were un-
lucky? Who fritter away today and
let all the important work pile up
for tomorrow Perhaps it is good
thing to feel that the sun will shine
on tomorrow and that good for
tune will attend your every activity
but why not leave some time to
enjoy it?
My grandmother always used to
darn the largest hole first. She
said it made the work go faster to
feel that everything else she had
to do was easier than what she
was doing. And that can be applied
to the work any of us have to do.
If you have anything really diff
ficult to tackle, why wait until the
last moment, and let the thought
of it spoil your today and tomor-
row? Do it now. 1t may be hard
and unpleasant-but there isn't any
difficult job that lasts forever
and tomorrow will be free for the
things you want to do. ypfF5.
There is another thing to re-
member. Tomorrow is often the
busiest day of the year." That
came to me in a letter from Pat
German. / stuck it up on my dask
and watched. Sure enough-when-
ever | let things slide for tomor-
row-that day something happen
ed to upset my shedule and | slip
ped further behind. So then | did
a right about face. Pm one Of those
born old maids who always lists
everything that must be done-so
| listed them with the difficult
things first. And the work began to
get cleared up. l even had time to
do a few of the things i wanted
to do! So you see, speak from
experience.

Labor Editor
Wants Newspaper
Survey In Reverst

Oakland, Calf. OPA) - Daily
papers have made countless sur
veys on what the public thinks Of
the papers. The East Bay Labor
Journal proposes survey Of what
the papers think Of the public; that
is, the union member part Of the
public.
1t has asked the Industrial Re-
lations department Of the Univer-
sity of California to find out how
many Bay Area dailies over a
given period Of time published edi-
torials in support of local strikes
while they were on or about to be
called.
Editor Louis Burgess said that
since the papers officially subscribe
TO the American belief that labor
unions have right to exist and to
conduct strikes, no legitimate OBJ
jections could be raised to the pro-
iect. He said the job requires very
careful, thorough, scientific re-
search because "many of US in
labor have read many hundreds of
editorials in the principal dailies
of the area during many years
past, and we cannot remember
reading any such editorials declar-
ing that a strike in this area was
justified, that the strikers should
carry it through to a successful
conclusion and that the winning of
it would benefit the strikers and
the public"
If such study revealed that no
editorials, or practically none, had
endorsed any strike, Burgess said
it would mean "the daily press is
not impartial, does not believe in
the right of unions to exist and
strike, or represents interests
other than public interests. Either
this, or that all labor unions are
always wrong in striking and have
no right to exist"
