to travel by public conveyance.
particularly during rush hours.
Capital Transit has been
taking off buses and streetcars
at rapid rate. with the result
that homebound Washingto-
mans are now damned into
fewer buses in a manner that
no self = respecting sardine
would tolerate. The other night
on the Massachusetts avenue
run a young woman tainted in
a jam-packed bus where air
was at a premium. Certainly a
lot more people will faint in
coming months.
For this. Capital Transit
cannot be blamed. After all,
they have been kicked out.
and, quite naturally. they wish
to make a profit in their final
year in Washington. I'd do
the same thing; that is, take
of every bus and streetcar
that wasn't running with a full
load.
So we, the poor suckers in
the middle, get deplorable
service.

Dissension in Ranks

Since the recent surge OF
interest in the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cul-
tural Organization. the Wash

can Veterans Committee has
reviewed the purpose, organi-
zation and activity of UNESCO.
AVG finds that more than
ever UNESCO's fundamental
goal of contribution to world
peace through the media Of
education science culture is
highly deserving of our un-
stinted support. AVG finds that
the activities UNESCO has
chosen as avenues to the goal
are wholly in the tradition Of
American life. education and
democracy.
At the recent Conference of
the United States National
Commission for UNESCO in
Cincinnati, AVCers attended
as members of the commission,
and one of the chapter mem
bers was a delegate. They re-
port the continuing devotion
of UNESCO and the United
States commission TO world
peace and the convincing
words of Director General
Luther Evans that UNESCO
enters a country only on that
states invitation.
This AVG chapter Of vet
Grams of both world wars re-
affirms its support of both the
