AS GROWTHSPURTS National Capital, Suburbs Crowded With People On Various Defense Missions By Jack Stinnett Washington Visitors to Washington -under unlimited -emergency almost Invariably mutter "All is confusion." I have written about the growth of the capital city under national defense before, but it I a continuing story becoming more amazing each day and month. It is something Washington lans eat and sleep. It Is more general topic of conversation than the war or weather. And It Is not surprising that this Is true or that the casual visitor thinks this a city of utter con fusion. Population Gains Since the census was taken last year, it is estimated that Washington has Increased Its population 10 per cent or al most 70.000 persons. This does not take Into consideration the thousands who have settled In the suburban towns in Mary land and Virginia Alexandria, Arlington, Chevy Chase. Beth esda. Silver Spring and others It doesn't take Into considera tion the thousands of new visl tors persons who have disco v ered a new Interest in govern ment and want to see how the whole shebang works; relatives and friends of the numberless new defense workers; business nd Clubs Shoemaker Dinner at Emmens Home Honors California Visitors Visiting from North Holly wood, Cal., are Mr. and Mrs. William Roberts and daughter, Kathey, guests at the home of Mrs. Roberts' parents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Inch, 602 Catherine street.

Crater Lake Guild Enjoys Picnic Monday Crater Lake Guild members of the First Presbyterian church held their annual picnic at the home of Mrs. verl Walker, route 2, Monday evening.

Kelly, 911 Queen Anne avenue. Mr. Kelly Is connected with the legal staff of the Bonneville adminis tration at Portland. Cardan Club Members To Meet, Coleman Home Phoenix Garden club mem bers will meet with Mrs. Lillian Coleman Friday at 1 o'clock at Phoenix. All members are urged to attend. men here to confer on defense contracts; soldiers and sailors from nearby stations. Rooms Hard to Find What any visitor is likely to discover first is that even if it is an off-week, he may have trouble getting accommodations at any of the city's 28 first class hotels unless he has made reservations a week or more in advance. If he is out from 7:30 to 0:30 In the morning or 3:30 to 8 In the afternoon, he'll buck the push of federal worker traf tie that reaches its peak In those hours (staggered hours seem on ly to have spread congestion ov er longer periods). At times when he Is likely to be in the mood for eating or drinking, he'll find the restaur ants and bars filled to capacity and probably lines of waiting customers in the former. If he wants a taxi, he'll find there are periods of the day and night or anytime during a storm when it is practically Impossible to get one. A taxi company of ficial tells me that a year ago there were 5.000 cabs on the streets of Washington, but now there are only 3.700. Drivers, working on the lone-rate basis (as all Washington cabs do) find the traffic slows them down so they can not make what they feel they should. If a visitor wants to go shop ping, all he ran do is Join the mass movement of humanity on F street from Seventh to Four teenth and pray that it will slow up enough to let him work his way In when he comes to his store. The other half of this problem is trvmg to find a clerk. Born to Mr. and Mrs. L. E.
