offered the opportunity to thes WASH
ington Railway & Electric and Capital
Traction Co.'S and after each had de-
clined. The former declined on the
ground that such discussions at this
time would be doubtful utility" and
the latter on the ground that they
would be futile"
When the Capital Traction Co. had
a fare increase petition pending In 1928,
it came to an agreement with the COM
mission that its case should be dismiss
sed without prejudice in anticipation Of
some action by Congress on the them
pending merger. resolution. Congress
failed to act, and the traction company
lost both the merger BENEFITS and the
increased fare. When the merger dis
cussions were renewed In June, 1929. by
the present commission, the company
had a second petition pending and 1t
was thought that Its refusal to enter
merger discussions was based on de-
sire not to becloud the higher fare is
sue with anything else.
The commission constantly has chung
to the question of savings through joint
operations, however, and the introduce
ton of the merger plan into the car

ton company, against its win, back into
somewhat the same position 1t found
itself last year. There Is this essential
difference, however. At that time there

succeeded In upsetting the serenity Of

that she was entitled to q berth on the

Graf Zeppelin started for the United

At the same time japanese corre-

DR.. Eckener went into several con-

Miss Kitamura would not make the trip.
The japanese embassy would not uphold
her in the matter and her name was
