EXTENSION OF
BUS SERVICE
May Order Rapid Tran
sit Company to Serve
Takoma Area

With the Districts mass trans
portation system operating for
the first time today under one
company, the Public Utilities Com
mission took under consideration
the proposal of extending Wash
ington Rapid Transit Company
bus service from the Petworth
and Chillum areas into the Ia
koma sector.
Decision of the Commission
must be made shortly, since the
District Highway Departments
summer plans call for improve
ment of Third Street Northwest
north of Kennedy Street, and the
commission must decide whether
the Capital Transit Company
should double-track it's Fourteenth
Street-Takoma car line, which
runs on single track over Ken
nedy and Third Streets.
L1G NOAAAA4AAOOAOA4s HC4OAC VAC "a =
der calling for the purchase Of
the Washington Rapid Transit
Company by Capital Transit and
a subsequent merger was ap-
proved, had ordered the double
tracking, but the work has not yet
been started. The commission
does not intend to disturb the
street car service to the Takoma
area via the Georgia Avenue line
nor the express bus service in rush
hours.
Peoples Counsel William A.
Roberts today said he would favor
local" bus service in the Takoma
area providing it unsupported at
street car fare rates. In the event
the commission decides upon ex-
tension of the Takoma bus service,
it is likely that the Washington
Rapid Transit Company lines in
Petworth and Chillum will be ex-
tended and run along Third and
Fifth Streets in Takoma.

LIKELY TO LOSE
INC0MM!TTEE
TACTICS
Judiciary Group May
Bury Resolution
Endinq Board

Devious methods employed to
have the new proposal for rear
rangement of the local school
supervision referred to the House
Judiciary Committee instead Of
the District Committee may prove
a boomerang to the sponsor Of
the measure.
Designed primarily to bring
about an entire change in the
personnel of the local Board of
Education and to GUST DR.. Frank
w. Ballou, superintendent Of
schools, the resolution also car.
ries a provision which would pro.
hibit all Federal judges from en-
gaging in outside work.
Because of this latter clause,
the resolution was referred to the
Judiciary Committee, to which
it's author, Representative Tom
Blanton Cd, of Texas, desired it
should go, rather than to the
District Committee, where it
otherwise would have been re-
ferred, and which the sponsor Of
the proposal knew would mean
sending it to a certain death.
For Certain Death
Observers on Capitol Hill today,
however, were of the opinion that
the proposal is headed for just as
certain a death at the hands of
the Judiciary Committee.
Initially, it was pointed out, the
judiciary Committee members will
be disinclined to handle at this
time of year legislation so filled as
this is with dynamite, especially
when it is not an Administrations
sponsored proposition.
At the same time, the Judiciary
Committee members are expected
to feel that they should not be
charged with measures primarily
dealing with the Washington
school system-a subject more or
less foreign to the province Of that
committee. They feel that such
matters should be turned over to
the District Committee, where they
properly belong.
Would Separate Them
| Ordinarily, members at the Cap.
itol suggested today, if a Member
of Congress earnestly desired APP
proval of legislation dealing with
these two distinctly separate ques'
tions, he would introduce two
separate measures, having the
school board proposal referred to
the District Committee and the
other, dealing with the outside
work of judges, referred to the
Judiciary Committee.
It is suggested that all com
mittees have a tendency to be
Jealous of matters over which they
have jurisdiction. but scarcely any
want to be burdened with matters
foreign to their respective juris'
dictions.
The fact that the Blanton reso'
luton takes in considerably too
much territory, and even if the
members did feel that they could
well afford to enter such a wide
field, the fact that the subject
is entirely too controversial to take
up this near the end of the session
probably will mean that the bill
will be left to die in the Judiciary
Committee as the session terml'
mates,
