PL LANNING
To RENEW
MERGER
FIGHT

The Christmas holiday OF
thousands of Government en-

one else in town began today,
but 1t just marks the be-
ginning of a period of very
intensive study, writing and
figuring out show come" for
Harley P. Wilson, author OF
the traction merger agreement,
and his aides.
Beginning this morning, Wilson
and his help will attempt to put on
paper . brief that will adequately
answer the many objections voiced
by DR., Milo r. Maltbie, traction
expert. who was employed by the
Senate to study the Districts trac-
ton companies and the merger sit
uation.
Punctured By Maltbie
DIR. Maltbie studied the agreement,
which had been approved by the
Capital Traction Company, Wash
ington Railway and Electric Com.
pany and Washington Rapid Transit
Company, of which Wilson is the
head, and by the Public Utilities
Commission to Congress. DIR. Malt
bic found many things he didn't
like and turned his report over to
the Senate District Committee.
The committee held an executive
hearing last week and told Wilson
and his traction experts that a
reply is expected to DR.. Maltbies s
criticisms, and that is what the
would-be mergers are about to begin
work on.
The adjournment of Congress
over the holidays and the fact tnat
some work has already been done
on the reply makes it probable that
the answer will he ready several
days before Congress again takes
UP it's duties.
Much of the Wilson reply is ex-
pected to be in rebuttal of DIR. Malt
bie's objections. while other phases
of it will indicate a desire to yield
to the Senate's expert. 1t is not
believed, however. that the reply
will be made public until presenta-
tion to the committee early in Janu-
ary.
