The commission does not intend TO
concern itself further with the bus
case until Congress reassembles in
December. and, then Commissioner
Bell proposes TO take it to the Capitol
for a thorough unscrambling.
In the meantime. Mr.. Clayton will
gather all the information he can,
noting and digesting statutes, de-
cisions and debates in Congress for
the information of the Commissioners
and members of Congress-. The fact
that the North American Co. has
bought partial ownership of the local
utilities, he believes, will constitute
one of the principal weapons of Con

about a merger.
The fact that Washfngton's popu-

employees, he also believes, will give
Congress additional leverage in in

hearing on proposed legislation to

Thus far, William +. Ham. presi-
Gent Of the Washington Railway and
Electric Co. and John II. Hanna, who
holds a similar position with the Cap
ital Traction CO.. have maintained
strict reticence in regard to the COM
missions decision to ignore officially
the bus company until its question
able legal status is definitely clarified.
But when the hearing gets under
way, both undoubtedly will be heard
from, and IN all likelihood they will
have something to say, in view of
opinions previously expressed by En-
Gineer Commissioner j. Franklin Bell,
chairman Of the commission. and Will
liam Nick. Clayton, its newly appoint
ed temporary legal adviser, that the
investigation into the extensive hold
ings Of the North American Co. in
Washington utility corporations prob
