FALLS CHURCH ASKS
LOWER BUS FARE TEST
Question Whether Company Would
Lose by Scent Rate in Town
Would Be Determined.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


FALLS CHURCH, Va, December II
Citizens here have asked the
State Corporation Commission to order
a reduction in bus fare within the limits
of the town for two or more months in
order to study the effect on the income
and business of the Washington, Mary
land and Virginia Bus Co. A petition
presented by Mayor Bethune asks for
a ruling creating special Scent zone
within the town. Lester Hooker, chair
man of the commission, who came from
Richmond Friday to hold a special
hearing, indicated to Mayor Bethune
and the 25 or more citizens who, with
c. E. Arnold, president of the bus COM
pany, attended the hearing, that the
commission will take prompt action.
Spokesmen for the town pointed out
that with rate of 25 cents from the
terminal at Twelfth street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue to Broad street in Falls
Church, it was inequitable to charge
10 cents for the trip from Broad
street to East Falls Church station. a
distance of less than one mile Mr..
Arnold said the company was not able
to give the reduction If it entailed a
loss in income or meant acting as a
feeder to one OF the street car COM
panieS.

Who shot first is the question be-
tween the South American disputantS.
Paraguay insists, that the 35-man gar
rison of Fort Vanguardia fired the first
bullets, while Bolivia maintains that
the initiative came from an attack by
800 Paraguayans. She Is so certain
of this that she has notified all con-
cerned that she will consider no medi-
alton until Paraguay has made repara-
ton for what is considered a gross
insult to Bolivia.
The Pan-American Conference of
Washington, the Council of the League
of Nations at Lugano, the Argentine
Republic and the Vatican have all taken
steps to prevent a war.
The Council of the League hesitated
to take any action until it became ap-
parent that failure to do SO would
create a widespread feeling that the
League was more European than world
wide. There was also doubt as to
how the United States might view any
League intervention, but this was dis
sipated when precedent was found
in similar action in 1921, after Costa
Rica and Panama had ended diplo-
matte relations over a boundary ques-
ton.
The Council meeting, as expected,
gave opportunity for numerous "eye-uo-

would be only right and just.

MERGER REVISION
MEETING CALLED
All Interested Parties to Con-
vene Today to Discuss
Plan Changes.

An effort to work out modified plan
for merging the local traction lines is
expected to be made at the conference
this afternoon between the Senate sub
committee and representatives of the
companies, the Utilities Commission,
Peoples Counsel Fleharty, the subcom-
mittee's expert, DR.. Milo r. Maltbis,
and representatives of the Bureau OF
Efficiency.
1t will be the first time these various
groups have gathered to survey the
situation since the Bureau of Efficiency
and DR.. Maltbie filed their reports
analyzing the merger plan as presented
to Congress and suggesting certain
reviSions.
Although a definite conclusion is not
looked for at this preliminary meeting,
the interchange of views is expected to
throw some light on the question of
whether it will be possible to have
merger plan enacted at this session Of
Congress.
A majority of the subcommittee Of
five Senators handling the problem is
understood to be in favor of modifica-
ton of the present plan. At the same
time, indications are that the Subcom-
mittee members want to see merger
accomplished at this session If possible.
1t is probable, therefore, that today'S
conference will resolve itself into a
discussion of the extent to which it is
possible to obtain an agreement on
changes in the plan of unification.
The clause in the unification plan
as presented to Congress, which would
fiy HfoI Ivto Nf mi
at $50,000,O 900 for a 10-year period, with
provision against any change in fares
for one year, is almost certain to be
one of the chief topics of discussion.
DR.. Maltbie diSapproved of this figure
and advised the subcommittee not to
write an agreed valuation into the
legislation, but to leave that question
to be determined by the regulatory body.
The Bureau of Efficiency recommended
tentative acceptance of the $4,000, 900
figure to hasten the benefit of the
merger, suggesting that there is nothing
in the agreement to prevent the COM
mission from starting work on a new
valuation following the merger.
The Efficiency Bureau pointed out
that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has adopted a method of valu-
alton which results in lower value
than that arrived at by the current
cost doctrine, and that
cases involving this question are pend
ing in the United States Supreme
Court The Efficiency Bureau suggested
that if the court approved the /. C. C.
method the Public Utilities Commission
could revalue the local traction lines
N accordance with the court decision.
DR.. Maltbie told the subcommittee it
was not customary to write definite
valuation into merger contracts.
Another question likely to be dis
cussed Is the arrangement that should
be made for the payment for electric
power obtained by the merged railway
from the Potomac Electric
Power Co. Both of the experts re-
ports recommended claridcation Of the
power clause. -..-.-.-----.
