ing-and we sort of have to
watch out for them, too."
This Is principally the day Of
the light traveller, he said. Liv-
ing out of a trunk has turned
into living out Of a suitcase.
Women don't need to cart
along all those petticoats." Mr..
White explained.
Heaviest Years In War.
The heaviest years in Mr..
Whites 81 years came during
World War I, when more lug
gage flowed through the station
than at any other time. It was
heavy in World War II. also.
but not as heavy as in the first.
More trunks were used
then" he said.
The lockers, where a GUS
toner can deposit a dime and
leave his luggage for short Pc
riods, are owned by the Ameri-
can Locker Co. but are super
vised by Mr.. Whites men.
They're sometimes a deposit
tory for unwanted articles" he
said. People pay a dime. stuff
in some newspapers or bottles.
and then never come back with
the key. Nobody's tried leaving
his wife there yet"
The lost and found depart
ment is another busy place. Two
days ago. Mr.. White emptied it
of the accumulated articles
sending some back to owners
where owners had been identi-
fed, returning others to the
finders. But already the racks
are beginning to I'LL again.
Leave Anything Behind.
People run of and leave al
most anything behind" said Mr..

Drunks or trunks. false teeth
or fur coastal come under
the scrutiny Of e. S. White.
Mr.. White has been working
on the railroad all the livelong
half century. All but two Of
the years have been in the bag
gage department at Union
Station.
Hunting season and Christ
mas bring the biggest influx
into Mr.. Whites sprawling bag
gage rooms on the stations low
er floor.
I'm hunting season we get
q lot Of hound dogs" he said.
Then around Christmas time,
the schools start closing for the
holidays, and people start 60
ing home for Christmas re-

More Than Carting Suitcases.
But his job is more than cart
ing suitcases from check room
to train, or from train to train.
His department also super
vises the lost and found divis-
ion. the United States mails
arriving and departing or just
passing through. and the 1,119
lockers where passengers can
deposit their luggage temporar-
lily.
Lost false teeth are no rarity
for Mr.. White.
I'VE get several pairs each
month"; he said. Most of
them are claimed, and most of
them get back to their owners.
It's people like the woman
with the fur coat who make
the Job more than routine.
The woman left the fur coat
in locker. The next person US
ing the locker turned the coat
in to the lost and found division.
Mr.. White traced the owner.
Its not my coat" the
woman said positively.
Calls Three Days Later.
Three days later, she called
ut the lost and found division,
asking for her coat.
1T was warm and I didn't
need It," she explained sweetly.
II knew it would be safe here"
Bicycles, tricycles, baby car
riages. baby beds, playpens and
similar items are acceptable as
baggage. But rules of the bag
gage room are that suitcases
contain only wearing apparel
normally used on a trip.
"It's when we get a claim
for damage. or for loss, that we
really find out what's inside
the suitcases." Mr.. White said.
Sometimes a bottle gets broken,
or some jewelry lost. It's the
owners responsibility since he's
breaking the rules"
Most travellers associate weight
limitation with airline travel.
But the railroads have a weight
limit also. It's $50 pounds for
each passenger.
But you can get four or five
suitcases, normally packed, in
under the weight limit" he said.
Broken Packages Inspected.
Mr.. White has little trouble
with broken packages. He re-
quires each to be bound with
rope. and each is inspected
carefully to guard against its
falling apart in shipment.
The Army-Navy game week
ends bring a headache for the
baggage supervisors.

Wool Rags Shipment
For Poland Halted :
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

The Commerce Department an
nounced yesterday it has halted
at Boston a shipment of five car
loads of wool rags destined for
Communist Poland.
The goods were detained under
a warrant issued by Federal Dis
trict Judge Francis J. w. Ford be-
cause of probably violation of
United States export control regu-
lations," the departments Office of
International Trade said.
The wool rags, valued at about
SIT 900 were bought in Canada by
the Krasnow Wool Stock Co., of
Chelsea, Mass, and were shipped
in bond through the United States,
the OFT reported.
'"The United States customs en-
try form indicated Poland as the
final destination" the OFT con-
tinued. Investigation disclosed
however, that the Canadian gov
ernment had not licensed ship
ment to Poland, and that Cana
dian customs officials had cleared
the shipment onlyfor consumption
in the United States.
'"The Krasnow firm attempted to
clear the shipment for Poland
through customs in Boston. al
though it did not hold the re-
quired United States or Canadian
export license"

Lack Of Progress Hit
In Federal EmpIoye
Health Program

The Government employe health
program has failed to make SUBJ
stantial progress since its authori-
zation by Congress five years ago,
Leo L. Miller, executive assistant
to the Federal Security admins
traitor, declared last night.
Speaking before meeting on
Federal employe health problems
at the Archives auditorium, spon-
sored by the Federal Personnel
Council and the Society for Per-
sonnel Administration, Mr.. Mil
ler said a much better job re-
manned to be done.
The FSA official said that al
though Congress has authorized
the program. it has not done much
in the way of voting appropria-
tions to carry out the medical
clinics and preventive health pro-
grams in most Federal agencies.
The FSA has overall supervision
of the Governments health pro-
grams for its employees.
Mr.. Miller said private business
has long recognized the profit
motive" of health programs for
employees through greater eff
cheney and productivity, and de-
clared that Government should
follow the same principle.
Secretary of Labor Tobin and
Donald S. Dawson. administrative
assistant to President Truman on
Federal personnel matters, both
sent messages to the meeting
stressing the Importance of en-
ploye health programs.
Government employe union
leaders also urged greater en-
|phasis on employe health pro-
grams.
Thomas Walters, operations di-
rector of the AFL Government
Employe Council, declared it i'm
|perative that all Government
agencies start preventative health
measures for their employees. Mr..
Walters also urged more sanitary
working conditions for Federal
agencies.
Luther Steward, president of
the National Federation Of Fed
|eral employees, said insanitary con-
ditions and improper lighting and
ventilating conditions might re-
suit from the Government S
expansion program that sees the
rental of any Office space that
can be found.
