GOING TO WORK
AN HOUR LATER?
STUDY SAYS SO

Washington area workers
apparently are going 70
work an hour later than
they used to.
A New SHaven Comm
planning consultant, Will
bur s. Smith, today told
the American Society OF
Civil Engineers meeting at
the Statler Hotel that the
morning traffic peak in
1948 occurred between z
and 8 am.
BY 1855, he said, a traf-
fic study showed that the
morning pam was greatest
between 8 and 8 am.
There was no change in
afternoon statistics, how
ever. Mr.. Smith said traf-
fic congestion remained at
its worst in Washington be-
tween 5 and 6 pm.

In some charmless men, such
an attitude would be shocking
and repugnant. But Flynn had
such a light air that his antics
seemed almost natural a way
Of life. And so he went on
drinking and romancing to his
final hours.
He would have seemed in
credible in any era, but in these
conformist times he stood out
indelibly. His own life was so
mingled with his screen roles
that it was sometimes hard to
distinguish which was which.
Consider some Of his parts:

himself admitted being a pirate

plundering oyster beds.

Cuban revolutions.

Transit Plan
Seen Cuttinq
Peak Traffic

'Peak-hour traffic on WASH
ington streets would be reduced
by a proposed new area mass
transit system, a planning Of
fetal declared today.
Wilbur s. Smith Of Wilbur
Smith and Associations, New
Haven, Conn.,, made the pre-
diction in a paper prepared for
the American Society of Civil
Engineers convention at the
Statler Hotel.
He said the transit network,
which would cost about $500
million to build, would cut the
number of persons travelling in
automobiles between 8 and 8
a m. to 100000. In 1855, 1885,
900 passengers were en- route at
chat time, he said.
Mr.. Smith, a consultant to
the National Capital Planning
Commission, which issued the
mass transit study and pro-,
posal, declared that trips by
auto would more than double
by b80 without improved
transit.
Transit Use Decline Cited
He added that between 1915
and 1855, despite rapid growth
of the areas population, over.
all use of public transit declined
about II per cent.
He said passengers using the
new rapid transit would num-
Der about $1,000 in 1865 and as
high as $4,000 in 1880.
The proposed system would
Include "a miles of rail line;
and Sc miles of facilities fol

ways. Details of the propose,
were announced by the COM
mission last July.
Also recommended was con.
struction of about 81 billion

cilities.
FreewayS Urged
In another paper prepared
for the convention. William r
McConochie, a Chicago consult
ant, warned that rapid transit
alone is not sufficient to cope
with Washington'S problems.
Mr.. McConochie, an engineer
with De Leuw, Gather and Co.
said a large part of the Metro
politan area must depend pri.
marily on auto transportation
Thus, he maintained, "nc
rapid transit system could be
devised for Washington
which would be an adequate
substitute for a comprehensive
system of freeways and park

system of highways alone

SteeIers Get
OK to Shift
HomeGumes

PITTSBURGH, Mar. q (AP)
The Pittsburgh Steelers have
been granted permission to
break their lease on Pitt Sta
dunn and return to Forbes Field
for home games next season.
The Steelers said attendance
dropped 10000 and they suf-
fered a $4,000 net loss when
they switched to Pitt Stadium
last year. A spokesman for the
pro football club added that 95
per cent of the season ticket
holders voted overwhelmingly
in favor of returning to Forbes
Field, home of the Pittsburgh
Pirates baseball team.
The Pirate management al
ready has said it would well
come the SteelerS back.
Pitt Stadium was leased
from the University Of Pitts
burgh by the City's Auditorium
Authority, which in turn leased
it to the Steelers. The stadium
can seat about $4,000, but the
seats are not protected by a
roof. Forbes Field seats about
$4,000, and many of the seats
are shielded by a second deck
and a roof.
