The company put 80 extra buses
and "a extra streetcars into
service early today. raising the
number of units to LOTS. When
the picture began to develop
around 1880 am, Mr.. Musson
said company officials started
trying to add even more units
to carry the passengers.
Worst spot was Barney Circle

and proceeding downtown with
out being able to squeeze on
another passenger at the Penn
sylvania avenue stops.
All service on Pennsylvania
avenue Sc. between Eighth
street and Seventeenth street
Sc. was halted for half an
hour to further complicate the
situation of those waiting at
Barney Circle. A street car
pulled a pillow" at Eighth
street at about 7:45 am,
breaking the electrical current.
There were several other pillow
failures at other spots in town.
Long lines also were reported
at the upper northwest stops
on Connecticut avenue. Wis
consin avenue, Sixteenth street
and Georgia avenue.
In nearby Maryland and Vir-
ginia, thousands of commuters
apparently decided to get out
to the bus stops earlier than
usual or to risk driving on the
slippery highways. Bus traffic
was running from Is to As
minutes late on some Alex
andria, Bancroft and Washing
ton lines and there was stand
ing room only in buses as early
as 6:45 am.
The problem here also ap-
peared to be the same: In
sufficient buses and auto traffic
impeding the passage of the
mass transit vehicles.
Most Of the five area transit
companies were approaching
normal service until the morn

three other applicants. He said
he thought Public Service Tele-
vision was the least qualified.
Other Pressure" Cited
The subcommittee's hearing
that lasted until 6:10 pm. yes
terday brought assertions from
Mr.. Scott that all the alleged
pressure" or friendly influence
on FEC commissioners was not
confined to National Airlines.
Judge Anderson, described by
Chairman Harris as a rather
evasive" witness, said that as
counsel with Mr.. Scott for Ma
tional Airlines in 1855 he may
have" asked Mr.. Whiteside to
contact Mr.. Mack. He recalled
that he did so after Mr.. Scott
requested him to suggest some
Miami attorney who might be
brought in to assist the firm
in handling the National Air
lines application.
Mr.. Whiteside told me he
would not accept a fee." Judge
Anderson related. II told him
that would not be a satisfactory
way of handling the matter.
He replied he did not know
what good he could do. He
agreed to go into the case, but
the matter of compensation
was left open. turned over the
matter to Mr.. Scott and he
took over from there. My in
formation later was that Mr..
Whiteside refused to go into
the case"
Aware Of Friendship
Did you know that Mr.. Mack
and Mr.. Whiteside were
friends?" Representative Flynt,
Democrat of Georgia, asked.
Let's put it this way" Judge
Anderson replied. 1T was a
factor that was not completely
overlooked. I knew they were
good friends and it probably
influenced my talking with Mr..
Whiteside.
Mr.. Scott maintained that
Mr.. Whiteside did not accept
the offer Of employment or re-
tainer in behalf Of the Ma
tional Airlines but may or may
not have done something about
it.
Sees Efforts Justified
He insisted. however, that
the Miami attorneys for Ma
tional Airlines were justified in
seeking the services of Mr..
Whiteside as lawyer. if only
to "neutralize" opposition pres
sures" or possible influence on
the commission.
Mr.. Scott defended the "un-
accepted" offer to Mr.. White
side as a move by the National
Airlines lawyers to have Mr..
WhiteSide tell Mr.. Mack that

About IS per cent of the out

he said. The Carter Barron
Amphitheatcr fringe lot also
was cleared.
Snow Funds Gone
AS the cost of the gigantic
snow clearance mounted to
near the half-million-do dollar
mark, the Commissioners began
toting up the figures to use in
asking Congress for a supple
mental appropriation. Only a
little more than 100000 is
budgeted for snow removal,
and that was depleted before
the recent storm.
The biggest traffic problem
was not in the District, in rela-
lively good condition, but in
the suburban areas where most
of the tangleS and slow downs
occurred.
Transportation difficulties did
not stop with the immediate
area. Although the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad reported traf-
nc about normal" the Penn
sylvania was badly crippled on
its heavily Travelled New York
Washington line.
Only seven trains were sched-
uled each way between the
cities instead of the usual 20
each way, and Pullman service
was out altogether.
Traffic Tieups Numerous
Reports of the traffic tieups
were the rule rather than the
exception on most roads.
Trouble began before 8 am.
when a backup occurred be-
cause Rosslyn Circle had been
narrowed to one lane. On Lee
highway motorists said it took
an hour to crawl half a mile.
Calls were received for plows
to widen the lanes. Wilson
and Arlington boulevards were
damned at several points as
late as 9 o'clock.

Probe Reveals Widespread
Non-Enforcement Of Statute To
Aid Migratory Loborers

New York, August 17,.-Gover-
nor Averell Hartman has been
urged ito enforce with vigor and
SenSitivity' Nrw York State laws
designed to protect migratory
farm laborerS from a vicious
system of economic exploitation"
by labor agents and growers.
Following an extensive investi-
CATION of labor camps and work
ing sites in six upstate counties.
Herbert Hill, labor secretary of
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
submitted a report to the Cover
nor, on August IA, calling for en-
forcement of call the Statut'S
and administrative codes relat-
ing to migratory farm labor"
The report was made public here
today.
'Althoug certain desirable leg
iSlation is lacking" the report
said rigid enforcement of exist
ing laws would mean much in
eliminating the intolerable living
and working conditions suffered
by thousands of southern Ne
groes brought to New York State
for harV0 sting and food process
ing operations"
Visited 40 Areas
Reporting on his observations
at more than 40 arraS in Wayne,
Genesee, Monroe, Ork ans, Oneid
and Steuben counties, Mr.. Hill
charged that with some rare
exceptions migratory farm work
ers throughout the State of New
York are the victims of a VIC
ious SYST m of economic ex-
ploitation.

only be described as a racket
that often results in entire IA
miliSS working for little or no
wages for extended periods of
time. In m a my INSTANCES we
found that after months of har-
veSting crops in New York, work
erS are roturned in open trucks
to their home communities in
Florida, Georgia, Alabama and
South Carolina virtually penni-

These migrants, he reported to
Governor Hartman, "are pro-
ductive workers vital to the agri-
cultural economy of New York
State. In most caS0s they are
brought to New York as a result
of recruiting efforts of the State
Department of Labor on behalf

An Editorial
When the first white men
walked into Arizona SOmH 400
years ago, they quickly came face
to face with a probA'm that has
been a source Of great despair
and great prosperity-ever since.
The problem of water.
When Ernest w. Mcfarland
launched his carver as a public
official soma 80 years ago, he de-
voted a major portion Of his tai
ents to solving that problem.
The insult to date is selfevident.
Governor Mcfarland is recog-
nized nationally as a W a ter
authority. In addition, he has
done more to develop reclaema-
ton projects in Arizona than any
other man in the State history.
with thu possible exception of
Senator Carl Hayden.
For that reason, if for no
other. The Enterprise believes
Mr. Mcfarland should be re-
turned to thu U. S. Senate where
he served this State with cour-

New Heavy Duty
Shop In Operation

The Division of Mechanical
Maintenance has placed it's new
heavy-duty equipment shop in
operation at 18th Street and
Washington. The modern equip
ped maintenance shop was built
at a cost of $4,000. 1t contains
1900 square fect of floor spaces
which has made it possible for
the Division to transfer the
heavy-dutv shop from the City
Yard at 9th Street and JEFFERSON.
This consolidation is in the in
tereSt of economy. It will result
in more efficient supervision of
personnel and eliminate dupi-
cation of machinery, tools, parts
and equipment formerly kept on
hand in both shops. It also re-
leased land nended for expand
ed operations at 9th STREET and
Jefferson. The Division has an
excellent preventive maintrnan-
CO program set up to keep the
City's 866 vehicles rolling. This
equipment ranges all the way
from motor scootSrS used by the
water meter readers to the larg9

Mrs. Bessie B. Barbour
loves to shop.
And that has been the
good fortune of hundreds of
American women living
abroad at military and State
Department posts.
A former service wife her
self, Mrs. Barbour started a
personal shopping service
several years ago to help
women living overseas keep
their wardrobes up to date
with good American fashions.
Gradually, however, her
clientele has expanded to
include local residents who
don't have time to shop for
themselves-or who prefer to
have Mrs. Barbour do it for
them.
The wife Of q retired Army
officer. Col. Thomas E. p.
Barbour, she has known, from
her own experience, the diff
ficulties Of shopping by mail
when living overseas.
She also understands the
limitations Of a service wife's
budget. So economy is one
of her main objectives when
she starts out on a shopping
expedition.
Moreover there's no fee for
her services.
"The stores pay me-" she
explained. II get a percentage
Of the cost of each purchase
I make. I've been told I was
foolish not to charge for the
service itself. But I love
clothes, I love shopping and
/ love people. And while it
keeps me busy six days a
