Two motorists who took a little

Officials Hold Truman
Could Order Seizure
OF Capital Transit

President Truman could order
the seizure of the Capital Transit
Co. by the Federal Government
1t was agreed here today.
The President. by Executive Or
der, could act under the Federal
Possession and Control Act of 1916
This law reads:
"The President, in time of war
Is empowered, through the Secre-
tary Of War, to take possession
and assume control of any system
or systems of transportation, OF
any part thereof, and to utilize the
same, to the exclusion as far as
may be necessary of all other traf-
f1c thereon. for the transfer OF
transportation of troops, war ma
terial and equipment, or for such
other purposes connected with the
emergency as may be needful OF
desirable"
Francis A. Silver, general coun-
sci of the Defense Transport Ad-
ministration, pointed out that
World War II has not been Off
cially terminated. No peace
treaties with Japan or Germany
have yet been signed. he observed.
So he said the situation, regard
less of the Korean conflict, fulfills
the requirements of the 1916 law.
Mr.. Silver expressed his un-
official opinion that seizure of
Capital Transit can be made by
DTA Administrator James K.
Knudson.
The general counsel declared
that the railroads of the Nation
are still being operated by the
Army under the Secretary of War
now the Secretary of the Army
Any seizure of Capital Transit
presumably would have to be
done by the Secretary of the Army
at President Truman's direction.
Mr.. Silver observed that Pres

of the Detroit transit system,
whose workers were on strike for
So days. recently.
The situation here, however, isl
considered different because of the
large numbers of Federal workers
and the presence of Congress.
The Office of Defense Trans
portation, predecessor of the
Defense Transport Administration
seized the strike-bound Capital
Transit Co. on November 81, 1945.
1t directed that the management
continue to operate the system
as agent for ODT, which was done.
ODT turned back the company
officially to its owners on Janu-
ary 8, 1916, Mr.. Silver recalled.
But ODT operated under both
the War Labor Disputes Act
which now has lapsed and the
1916 law. Mr.. Silver said.

Drivers Have Field Day Parking on Car Tracks

This was the day Of dream
come true-when the frustrated
lparking place seeker could stol
his car in the middle of the cal
tracks, leave it there and walk
away smiling at a policeman who
could leave his parking ticket
book In his other trousers ano
smile right back.
Not all the rules were off, how
ever.
In other restricted zones, police
were dutifully ticketing away. In
front of the Harrington Hotel,
one Maryland car was ticketed for
parking in a taxi zone. Two car
lengths away. a Maryland and q
Massachusetts, car were tagged for
parking at an angle.
In mo parking at any time
zone at the Justice Department,
one motorist posted her alibi in
advance. Said a note on the
windshield wiper: "This thing is
out of commission. Gone for help.
Mrs. E. B. Kelly, owner"
For the statistical minded
and who isn't when the subject
is money-the free fora status
of parking meters is costing the
city about $1,000 a day in rev.
enue.
At the Carlton Apartments,
$500 Wisconsin avenue NV, a.
bland-faced passenger stepped
into the elevator and started
