HOLIDAY TRAVEL MAY SET RECORD
Transportation Officials Look for Heaviest Christmas Rush in History.
With thousands of men in the armed forces throughout New England expected to be given furloughs over the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year holidays, transportation officials said yesterday that they expected the heaviest travel in history.
Pointing out that the Office of Defense Transportation had ruled out extra trains or sections during these rush periods, the New Haven Railroad appealed to all civilians to refrain from any but absolutely necessary riding during the holidays.
Although ODT officials, as early as last May, were drafting plans for the opening of non-essential travel by [[text cut off]] bus or airplane by permitting the sale of tickets only to those civilians who could prove a "need to travel", no such restrictions have been put into effect.
Expect "Almost Anything"
New England Transportation expects almost anything" during the rush, Clark V. Wood, superintendent said last night. But, he [[text cut off]] he knows of no plans for "ra[[text cut off]]g" rides or other drastic move. [[text cut off]] the busses would operate as [[text cut off]] and "just wonder what is going to happen."
Meanwhile, Harold G. Morris, vice [[text cut off]] ent of the UER, told members of the Lions Club at the Biltmore [[text cut off]] yesterday that sharply in-[[text cut off]]d daily traffic and a lack of [[text cut off]]ment may force the UER to make drastic changes in the riding [[text cut off]]s of the public.
Among the possibilities, he said, removal of seats from vehicles make every inch of space available for standees; permitting war [[text cut off]]ers only to ride during certain [[text cut off]]s, in which cars will not stop for passengers close to the downtown [[text cut off]] and installation of "stand-sit [[text cut off]]" in which you neither stand or sit, but just lean back.
He said that "plans for group riding must be encouraged" and improved because of the tremendous advantage not only in aiding the transportation problem, but also in the conservation of tires and gasoline.
Group Riding Progresses
Frederick W. Aldred, chairman of the transportation committee of the [[text cut off]] Planning and Traffic Board [[text cut off]] last night that his committee [[text cut off]] making steady progress in es [[text cut off]]ing group riding. He said approximately 125 of the 165 [[text cut off] the city with 100 or more [[text cut off]] were co-operating, and [[text cut off]] others were expected to join [[text cut off]] soon.
[[text cut off]] said that the UER expects [[text cut off]] of 20 more busses which, [[text cut off]], the Government may seize [[text cut off]] time, in January. Thirty [[text cut off]] trolleys ordered last January [[text cut off]] just coming in, he said.

Filibuster Training

discuss the bill, and pointed out that such a session would "further intensify the division of opinion, and nobody is bound by a caucus anyway."
Soft Answer
(Despite much behind-the-scenes grumbling, Barkley's soft answers to the indignant outpourings of Southern Democrats evidently averted any serious move to divest him of his position as majority leader when the new Congress is organized in January, the Associated Press reported.
(Senator Tom Connally, Dem., Tex., one of the leaders of a filibustering fight against the bill, told reporters he knew of no movement to displace Barkley.
(Connally was nominated by Senator Kenneth McKellar's bitter denunciation of Barkley's action last Saturday in sending warrants out for the arrest of eight absent Senators, including McKellar, when a quorum was needed.)
SUITS ASK PAYMENT
Firms Seek to Recover for Goods Claimed Supplied to Contractors
Three suits involving payment bonds on war construction projects in Rhode Island were filed in U. S. District Court here today for sums totaling $1373.69.
Two of the suits, one for $107.22, were brought by the J. T. O'Connell Co. of Providence and Newport against Anthony Torregrossa, doing business as the National Painting Co. of Providence, and the Eagle Indemnity Co. of New York.
The other, for $560.22, was brought by the Petroleum Supply Co. of Newport against A. Singarella of Boston and the American Bonding Co. of Baltimore.
Torregrossa held the contract for painting temporary and mobilization buildings at Fort Getty, the complaints said, and was bonded for payment for labor and materials in the amount of $5300 by the Eagle Indemnity Co. The J. T. O'Connell Co., the petitions said, has furnished $813.47 worth of materials for which is has not been paid.
Singarella had the contract for the construction of buildings and accessories at the Castle Hill Coast Guard Station, Newport, and was bonded for $49,350 by the American Bonding Co., the third complaint said. The Petroleum Supply Co., it continued, has furnished $560.22 worth of materials for which it has not been paid.
MAAS' CRITICISM HIT BY COLLEAGUE
San Diego, Cal., Nov. 19.--(AP)--
The Navy is doing "a whale of a job" in the battle of the Pacific and is not open to criticism by people "in fairly high places," Representative Ed V. Izac, Dem., Cal., said in an interview last night.
Representative Melvin Maas, Rep., Minn., who like Izac is a member of the powerful House Naval Affairs Committee, recently charged that we are losing the war in the Pacific and that what have been proclaimed victories really were setbacks.
"The Jap navy is about half gone," Izac said. "It burned me up to see that criticism by Representative Maas. He was out there for a little while and he saw a little bit only. What counts is results. Jap losses have been four times as great as ours in ships, planes and men.
"We ought to give credit where credit is due. Our navy is doing a real job."
