PAINLEVE'S POLICY UPHELD.
Socialists Vote Confidence in Premier's s
Actions.

PARIS. June "a CP-Premier Pain
leves ministry has triumphantly sur
vived the first test question on which
it had been prophesied that the Social

fidence on his Moroccan policy in the
Chamber Of Deputies at an early hour
this morning, the vote being $40 TO 80.
Instead of opposing the government
the Socialists with few exceptions
voted with 1t, and one Of the Socialist
leaders. Leon Blum, signed the motion
for confidence.
Admiration for the premier's air
plane trip to Morocco and his visit to
the fighting front as We'll as disgust
at the violence Of the speeches made
by the Communist deputies in oppos-
ing his policy both played a part in
influencing the result.
Having won Endorsement OF its
Moroccan policy, the ministry now
awaits the Socialist action on the
financial question which stands on a
different basis, as Premier Painleve
will not be able to make the same ma
tional appeal.
Session Ends in Fight.

De LUXE BUS LINE
IS GIVEN PERMIT
Capital Traction Company
Authorized to Operate on
Chevy Chase Route.

As an Experiment" the Public
Utilities Commission today authorized
the Capital Traction Co. TO operate
a 25-cent fare de luxe" bus line TO
Chevy Chase. simultaneously. the
commission turned down the appli-
cation of the Washington Rapid Trans
it Co for a 10-cent fare bus line over
the same general route The COM
mission held that the Transit Co. s
line would involve injurious competi-
ton with the business OF the Capital
Traction Co.'S street railway on Con
neCticut avenue extended.
The Traction Co. also was permitted
to establish loop" bus line in Chevy
Chase. to serve as a feeder" for its
Connecticut avenue lines. The deCi-
sion of the commission, the nature
of which has been freely predicted
at the District Building for several
days, was announced early this after
noon by Maj. W. L. 4. Covell, utili-
ties expert. following receipt by the
commission of a telegram of con
CurrenCe from District Commissioner
Fenning. who is out of the city on
a vacation.
Maj. Covell emphasized that this
experiment with a parlor bus
line on the 25-cent fare rate would
not cost street car patrons anything.
He said that the Public Utilities Com
mission will observe closely the oper-
alton of the line to see if the service
on the street cars was being impaired
by competition of the new sister"
bus line.
If the Commissioners find upon in
vestiGation that street car service is
being affected by the new busses
they will consider Immediately revoca-
ton of the permit granted to the
Capital Traction Co. today.
Will Fight Substitution.
1t was indicated that any move by
the company looking toward a grad.
ual substitution of husses for street
cars at this time would be vigorously
opposed by the commission.
The route to be followed from Chevy
Chase to the Capitol was not an
nounced, pending a further confer
ence between Traction officials and
Public Utilities Commission experts.
Numerous objections have been reg
istered by residents of streets over
which the company tentatively pro
posed to operate its buSses and these
protests will be carefully considered in
mapping out the route. One of the
prominent objectors was Secretary of
Sldlt htllOSSr VINO plOltSltu dSdlllSl
the routing of the busSes through
Nineteenth street, as had been sug
gested.
The tentative decision of the com
mission to approve the de luxe bus line
was reached late yesterday afternoon
at an executive session at the District
Building. Commissioner Fenning was
advised last night by wire of the agree
ment proposed and his telegram of as
sent was received this afternoon from
Haven, Me.
The Federation of Citizens Associa
tions through William Nick. Clayton
filed with the commission several days
ago a brief strongly attacking the
proposed parlOr car line, and declar
ing that a 25-cent fare would tend tc
induce class favoritism in local trans
portation circles. The brief contendeG
that the Utilities Commission should
not approve any transportation line
which aimed to serve only the
wealthy.
