CLAYTON OPPOSED
! TO ONE-MAN CARS
Lower Fares Suggested i
That Type of Service Is

Taking the position that one-man
cars give a service inferior to two
man cars, William Nick. Clayton of
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions told the utilities commission yes
terday afternoon that their use could
he defended only by providing a lower
rate of fare where the one-man car is
used.
Although the only question pending
at this time Is whether a better type
Of one-man car should be substituted
for the type already in operation on
the Anacostia line. the meeting de-
veloped into a debate on the entire
subject Of one-man operation IN the
District.
The meeting had been arranged as
q purely informal session to permit
Mr.. CLAYTON to furnish the commits
sion with some data on the pending
request. When the hour arrived,
however, a group of citizens appeared
and discussed the question for two
hours.
Further Consideration Urged.
At the conclusion Commissioner
Childress, chairman. explained that
he had not anticipated the meeting
would develop into a hearing on the
subject, and that in the light of what
transpired he thought the commission
would arrange for a formal public
session on the question.
Mai Clayton Emig, also of the fed
sration, urged the commission to defer
action on the Anacostia case pending

Winter.
Charles S. Harris, chairman OF the
utilities committee of the Anacostia
Citizens Association. explained that
his people preferred two-man cars,
but. having been advised that there
was little likelihood of obtaining that
service, they appealed for the i'm.
proved type of one-man car being used
on the Wisconsin avenue line.
Hugh Frampton Of the Cathedral
Heights association, said he did not
think the service on the Wisconsin
avenue line should be used as a
standard for the remainder of the sys'
tenn.
James c. Waters, who said ne is a

TYNE of service as inadequate" and
quoted court decisions to sustain his
point that if a company needs addi'
tional income it should be provided
through rates and not through cur.
tailment of service.
Mr.. Clayton argued 1t is discrimina
ton under the utilities act to render
different types of service on certain
lines with the same rate Of fare or
all routes He also took the position
that il the need for economy is the
reason for the use of one-man cars
the financial needs of n company
should be met through adequate rates
and not by changing the service.

Another contention advanced by
CLAYTON was that il economy is the
object sought, it should be attained

When Mr.. Clayton was contending
one-man cars constitute an inferior
type of service, Mr.. Childress said
that was not admitted on all sides
and added that while the commission
is willing to hear oral argument, 1t is
seeking primarily specific data con
corning the operation of those cars.

REDCROSS

The Red Cross Annual Roll Call which was begun here last week i5 still in progress as the members oI the committee are busy folks and not able to give much time d day tO seeing the people in the territory as signed to them. However, they re port splendid response from those approached showing that WrangeIi Is alive to the value of the Red Cross both locally and nationally. The greater number of memberships re- ported so far are the annual. or one dollar, kind. Several persons have made donations above the member ship fee. Fifty cents of each mem 1 bership fee is sent to National Head quarters to be used for Disaster Re Lief work. The remainder of the fee remains in the local chapter. When five dollars Is handed to one of the Nrangell committee il means that fifty cents will go to National Head quarters and S4z5o remain in Wran- gell to be used for Wrangell relief.
 J. G. Grant. chairman of the local chapter of the Red Cross, received the following cable last Tuesday from . national Red Cross official.
 The Central Committee of the National Red Cross in session in Washington today adopted a resolu- ton requesting the people of tht United States to increase their na- tional Red Cross membership to five million for 1928 for the reason that in spite of the most rigid econ omy Of operation increased demands Tor service particularly for disaster relief, require each year for the Ma tional Red Cross program an expen- diture considerably in excess of the annual income.
 The Central Committee is urging each chapter and branch to take tht necessary steps to assure such mem bership increase. If this goal i. reached your chapter will have to secure 350 members. Please advise fl you will cooperate with our na- tional organization in this effort

PITTSBURGH - Herb Pennoek Yankees pitcher. lies in hospital with his leg in ice packs as a result of having been hit by a ball batted by Cedric Durst in practice Tuesday. The blow fractured several blood vessels in Pennocks leg above the knee and he will be out of the game for several days. Hoyt will probably fling them for the Yankees while Kremer is regarded as Pittsburgh s logical pitching candidate. Ben gough, Yankee catcher, is the only cripple on either team aside from Pennoek. The Yankees in practice showed why they are the fayorites in world series. Babe Ruth amused himself by knocking four balls into right field stands and Gehrig and Lazzeri pounded the ball all over the lot. Pittsburghs fielding was i'm pressiYe.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 6.-All the cunning of Pittsburghs leading pitcher, Kremer, and dash of the Pi- rate team could not subdue George Herman Ruth of the New York Yankees and as a result the Ameri- can League champions triumphed over their National League rivals in the first game of the World Series. by score of five to four. One error on the part of Grantham of the Pittsburgh infield and a dropped throw by Earl Smith, Pirate catch CT, helped to stop the National League leaders who secured nine hits to their opponents six. But most of all it was Babe Ruth. He walloped the ball to right field for singles in the first and third inn ings and smashed another one-baser to center in the seventh. all of which added to the pain of the Pi rates whose star pitcher was con tinually getting himself in trouble md had to be removed in favor of John Milius in the seventh. The Waner brothers, Paul and Lloyd, of the Pittsburgh team, did gallant deeds. Paul matched -Ruth's achieve ment with three hits and his brother Lloyd scored two runs and made one hit. Waner and Barnhart, who also made three hits, coIlaborated in knocking Waite Hoyt from the mound in the eighth. Wiley Moore, relief pitcher, stopped the Pirates dead. 41.467 persons paid total of $182,477 of which the players share was S93. 063.
