ALEXANDRIA BUS
PETITION REFUSED
State Board Holds U. S. No.
! to Washington Already
0vercroWded.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, August THE
State Corporation Commission today
entered its first denial of an applica-
ton for interstate passenger bus serv-
ice.
Specifically. the commission refused
to grant an application of the Monu-
mental Lines. Inc, for a permit to
operate on U. S. Route between
Alexandria and Washington. The
opinion. written by j. Leslie Hooker.
commissioner, said that to grant the
certificate would unduly endanger
the life and property of the general
public travelling over this route" The
present flow Of traffic over the road
was termed excessive"
Commissioner Hooker indicated that
some opposition to the ruling was ex-
pected, but said it was based on long
and careful study. 1t is the first time,
he said. that such an application has
been turned down.
Opposed BY City.
The application was heard by the
commission April 26 of this year. 1t
was opposed by the City of Alexan-
dria, the Alexandria Chamber of
Commerce, the Arlington Board OF
Supervisors, and the Alexandria, Bar
croft & Washington Transit Co.
In his opinion Commissioner Hooker
said: If the traffic along the highway
or highways the applicant proposes to
operate is such that the operation OF
the number and kind of vehicles to be
used. or the schedule on which they
are to be operated. will thereby un-
duly endanger the life and property OF
the general public using the said high
way or highways and will thereby
subject the general public to a danger
more than that which ie ordinarily
incidental to the use of such highway
or highways, the certificate applied for
must be refused"
The evidence shows, the opinion SET
forth. that there is heavy flow OF
traffic over the route most of the time.
while at other times it is very heavy
and congested.".
Traffic Is Heavy.
'The evidence shows" the opinion
continues, that at checking station
7l3, established by the Department Of
Highways. vehicles are passing and
meeting each other almost constantly
between the hours of am to am.
and from pm. to $50 pm.
1T would seem to be perfectly plain
that for the commission to grant the
certificate applied for. giving pernis-
sion to operate an additional 2l6
trips daily with buses of 80 passenger
capacity over this route would unduly
endanger the life and porperty of
the general public travelling over this
route, and thereby subject it to a
danger more than that which is
ordinarily incidental to its use. The
present flow of traffic over this route
is excessive I" " ....
The opinion stated the commission
fully appreciates" that denial of
petitions for interstate certificates
should be made only in cases "that
are clear and compelling" but points
out that "the Legislature has vested
this commission with a discretion in
such matter, and If there vas ever
an instance where it should be exer-
cised adversely to the petitioner, it
seems to us this is one"

|A.A.A. SUIT PERMIT
FIGHT RISES AGAIN
Borah AssaiIs Compromise
Reached by Congress
ConfereeS.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Signs Of new controversy on the
question of permitting suits to re-
cover processing taxes appeared today
when Senator Borah, Republican, OF
idaho. criticized proposed compro-
mise on the subject.
The compromise was reached by
conferees from Senate and House
named to reconcile differences In the
amendments as approved by the two
chambers. Borah declared the agree
ment amounted to virtual notification
Of an amendment the Senate had at
tached to the legislation.
The conference report has gone to
the House for ratification and later
will be sent to the Senate.
In passing the A. A. A. bill originally,
the House barred all professors from
suing to recover taxes paid. The
Senate. however. permitted suits to be
filed on a showing by the professor
that he had not passed on the tax to
the producer or consumer.
Out of the conference came a ver-
oAOh otobAi6 tiiuL III CfCIb LIIC n. n. n.
processing taxes are held invalid
claims for rebate may be submitted
to the commissioner of internal rev.
enue, who will pass on the facts. Only
in event of error or "capricious"
Judgment by him may an appeal be
taken to courts.
In my view said Borah, 'this
virtually nullifies the Senate amend
ment."
He declared, by way Of example,
that a claimant from Idaho seeking
s1o0 rebate would "eat up" his claim
In costs Of sending an attorney to
Washington to place his case before
the commissioner.
1T puts many impediments in the
way Of gaining access to the courts. :"
the Idahoan said. He added it would
be necessary to discuss it" when the
conference report is before the Sen
ate. That may be late this week or
early next week.

By the Associated Press.
The Justice Department charged
yesterday that several large motion
picture distributors had continued to
violate antitrust laws despite an in
dictment returned against them last
January.
In an unusual legal move, the de-
partment said it was seeking an in
junction in Federal Court at st, Louis
to restrain Warner Bros. Pictures,
Inc; R-K-o Distributing Corp, Para
mount Pictures and others from con-
tinuing the alleged violations. n
A hearing on the Injunction was re-
quested for August 10. The COM
panies will be tried on the indictment,
which charges conspiracy, September
20. Demurrers filed by two Of the 16
defendants were overruled July 20.
The department especially COM
planned against the making OF con-
tracts for motion pictures for the
1856 picture season, which will
prevent the operators of three st.

BY PAUL MALLON.

- ECRETARY ROPER'S enact

has been confdentially pre-
- pairing another nice cinder for
President Roosevelt's eye. 1t Is re-
port on the Guffey coal BILL which.
the insiders relate, attempts to burn
that measure to a small clinker. The
report predicts that the bill would
boost coal prices even more than
coal operator opponents contend.
Readers NTH long memories tCtH

DRAFTS
NEW OIL POLICY
Will Make Recommended
tionS-TWo Bills Intro.
duced in Congress.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt said TODAY he
hoped to make an early report to
Congress on oil production control.
He will transmit to Congress the
compacts ratified by several States
and probably will recommend legis-
lation to set up a fact finding agency
to report to the next Congress.
This agency probably would be an
independent board, although the Pres
ident expressed himself today as hope
full Of tying in more of the inde-
pendent agencies under one Of the
secretaries in the interest of simpli-
fication OF administration.
Two oil bills, almost alike. were
offered in the Senate and House.
Representative Disney, Democrat, of
Oklahoma described them as designed
to set up an NJ r. A. in the industry
by voluntary agreement.
The measures would permit volun-
tary intra- industry agreements, to be
approved by the President. which
would seek to prevent waste" elimi-
nate unfair" competition and pre-
scribe wage and hour standards.
Waving OF the criminal provisions of
the antitrust laws would be allowed.
They also would enact permanently
and place under a Ie-established Fed
eral Petroleum Board the Connally
act preventing oil illegally produced
beyond State quotas from entering
interstate commerce.
The Senate hoped to rush consider
alton Of the measure introduced by
Senator Thomas, Democrat, Of Okla
hona as substitute for one already
on the calendar.
House Interstate Commerce Com
mittee approval, perhaps after short
hearing, was looked for on the bill put
in by Chairman Cole. Democrat, Of
Maryland Of a special oil subcom-
mittee.

Thus, it is hardly probable that
the councils views on the coal pro-
posal will get into print. At least
not before Congress acts.
Council Members Quit.
Ignoring the council may be easier
for the President this time than be-
fore. 1t has suffered about seven
destinations since its utility bill re-
port was referred to some depart
mental grave digger.
However, a few of the remaining
members have formulated some new
ideas about publicity which may up
set the usual burial procedure this
time. They have decided that they
can make public their reports If they
want to. Also, they are threatening
to want to.
Industrial Farley Debated.
The President has been mulling
over an idea of calling industrialists
and labor leaders together here in the
Fall. He has in mind the possibilities
of an unofficial agreement to con-
tinue the major features of the N.
r. A. on. permanent basis.
The suggestion for such a confer
ence was dropped to two labor lead
ers who recently called at the White
House. They were highly pleased.
as,.s,..SIs The Cigar Box FURRY.
The genius behind the Patton cigar
box furry seems to have been Blan-
ton, who is known among his pals
as the greatest detective (amateur)
in Congress. He staged-managed much
Of the affair, first by introducing to
Senate Investigators the accusing wit
ness, who gave testimony inferring
that q Congressman was paid of by
the utility people in cigar box. Later
Sleuth Blanton rode Representative
Patton over to the committee to deny
the charge.
Few informed persons here believed
there was anything in the story. 1t
was such joke in Washington that
a Texas newsman walked around town
for two days carrying a cigar box
under his arm, inciting people to ask
him about it. When any one did he
opened the box and displayed two 81
bills.
Evening star., 1935-08-07

The inferential charge served the
purpose of creating a vague general
suspicion against Congressman who
supported the House bill, but ap2ar-
entity it made no difference in the
vote.
More Scandalizers.
The scurrilous rumor that the Presi-
dent Is not well mentally has been cir
culated by others than that inventive
New Jersey advertising man who testi-
fed before the Lobby Committee. A
confidential business letter sent out
from Washington mot any of the good
ones) fatty questioned the President s
sanity in recent release.
A Democratic floor leader OF the
Senate Dds preparing to attack
and erpose the confidential letter
not long ago, but the White House
told him to forget it.
White House authorities reason that
public mention Of the author of such
charge would only give him a recog-
milton that he does not merit, even as
an adversary.
Byrns Outwits Smell.
Something happened to the House
Republicans in the tax fight. They
failed to make much of a showing.
The reason apparently was that
Speaker Byrns outwitted Republican
Leader Smell.
Bryns first announced the tar
bill Mould be TANNED dopn the
throats of Republicans in three
days. Then he began to pat them
on the back He agreed to curtah
sessions so they could 90 home to
dinner each night He agreed to
postpone the roll call until Mon.
day. HE mould haze done this
anytDdy, because many Of his DEM
ocrdts ,0ere absent oper the peek
end.J
In return for these favors, the Re-
publicans co-operated. They helped
to spank the Huey Long bloc, offered
few amendments. In the end they CO.
operated so much that their opposition
washed out into nothing important.
Byrns is chuckling in his sleeve.
