WL BE DELAYE Start of New Connectiéut Service Postponed—To Begin September 15. Delay in the delivery of new equipment will postpone for two weeks the inauguration of the bus service along Connecticut avenue in Montgomery County, officials of the Capital Transit Co. sald last night. It was originally- planned to have the busses supplant present rail serv- ice on September 1, but the company now will be unable to make the change until September 15. Schedules Prepared. A delay in the delivery of the fleet of new busses ordered by the traction firm occasioned the change in plans, according to William B. Bennett, assistant to the president of the Capital Transit Co. Schedules for the new service, ex- tending from Washington to Chevy Chase, Kensington and Garrett Park, Md., are now being prepared under the direction of Robert Dougan, ex- ecutive assistant of the traction com- pany, and will be ready within a few days. Will Abandon Car Barn. Bennett said last night the com- pany will abandon the car barn at Chevy Chase Lake when street car operations are suspended. He declared the cost of remodeling the building as a bus garage or ter- minal would be prohibitive, while the company has ample garage facili- ties for its busses in Tenleytown.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, August 24—Politics was described today by Langdon Post, New York tenement house commis- sioner, as a way out of the slums. “In spite of the greatest anti-slum drive in history,” he said, “the dis- tricts are increasing much faster than we're getting rid of them. They have been for 25 years the country over. “You have to put slum clearance into politics for the full results needed and take it out as an emergency measure.” Putting the issue into the political arena, in Post’s opinion, would bring the force of the electorate’s power be- hind the movement, virtually organ- izing the anti-slum crusaders against the financial and physical problems to be overcome. ‘While emergency projects have ridded a relztively small area of slums, there have been even greater addi- tions through deterioration of border- line structures and the lack of upkeep resulting from the depressed real es- tate and rental markets. Post, a pleasant-faced official who has made “war on slums” a battle cry during his tenure, expressed gratitude for the emergen projects, however, as demonstration measures. “They’ve enabled us to ‘make a start,” he said. Three such projects, costing $17,- 000,000 and designed to house nearly 3,000 families, are now under way in New York. Applicants for 122 apartments in the smallest of these, the Astor proj- ect, numbered 3,500 this Spring. “Had to call out the police,” said Post. “Wish we had a movie of it. By the time the friends and neighbors have all seen the new apartments, they’ll want to know why they can't have some, too.” Large as these projects seem, Post pointed out, they cover only 17% blocks, while New York has 17 square miles of slums. “It would cost New York a billion and a half dollars to replace its slums,” he said. “It has to be done by & combination of private and public can’t build apartments such as we 4|h Children’s National Photograph ‘Contest The contest that the whole country gets ex- cited about—run 200000 in the better stores from Maine to California!
