AUTO RAILER SERVICE
IN CAPITAL PROPOSED
I. c. c. Will Probe Possible Route
FOR Arlington and Fairfax
Auto Railroad Co.

An investigation of possible route
into downtown Washington for the
Arlington e. Fairfax Auto Railroad Co.
was ordered today by the Public Utili-
ties Commission. as q sequel to recent
consideration of the case by The In
terstate Commerce Commission.
The commission announced it would
hold public hearing on the question
at the conclusion of the engineering
study. The commission has not yet
decided whether the auto railer service
should be permitted to enter the Dis
trict, but the question will be debated
at the hearing. since the Capital
Transit Co., an opponent of the pro-
posed new service, has been granted
the right to enter the case.
The I. c. c. ruled that the pro-
posed service Of the auto railer COM
pany, which now operates a railroad
service in Virginia. was not an extern
sion of the railroad line, but it did
not rule on the question of whether
Washington was in the terminal area
or whether the company was subject
to the Motor Vehicles Carrier Act.
The route proposed for the buses
which the company proposes to oper-
ate in the District would be over KEY
Bridge. M street. Pennsylvania avenue,
Twenty-third street, Virginia avenue
and then east on Constitution avenue
to Fourth street NV.

on lot operated by the firm and
found it stolen when he returned.

BALTIMORE, Sept Mayor How
ard w. jackson of Baltimore, aspirant
to the Democratic nomination for
Governor. absorbed verbal punches
today from two opponents in the pri-
mary campaign.
Both Attorney General Herbert R..
O'Conor and Senate President Lans-
dale G. Sasscer hoped on Mayor
Jackson in addresses last night
At Bel Air. Mr.. O'Conor said the
paramount issue Of the guberna-
torial campaign is 'clear-cut state
ment" from the Mayor on his tax
policies.
When emergency revenue was needed
for Baltimore City. Mayor Jackson
favored 2 per cent sales tax, Mr.
O'Conor said. but from that time
to the present We have not heard from
the Mayor as to whether or not he
still espouses sales tax"
For all we know" Mr. O'Conor
added, he still favors such a plan
for raising necessary revenue in the
next State administration, since he
has criticized my plan for a graduated
income tax in lieu of other taxes"
Cites Recommendation"
Speaking at Democratic rallies at
Mount Rainier, Hyattsville and Seat
Pleasant, Senator Sasscer thanked
Mayor jackson for recommendation
Mr.. Sasscer read portion of Mayor
Jacksons speech made Tuesday night
at kensington, which read:
Senator Sasscer has made a fine
record as a legislator
Il don't have to tell you about my
16 years experience as your repre-
sentative at Annapolis, Senator Sas-
seer said. He then asked of Mayor
jackson. What kind of record have
you made as legislator"
The Mayors answer to that ques-
tion would have to be that he had no
record as legislator, Senator Sasscer
declared.
Says He Has No Record.
He has no record as anything, in
fact the Senator continued, except
as an insurance man and the Mayor
of great city. And the same goes
for my other Baltimore rival, Attor-
ney General OConor. He has no
record as anything but lawyer"
Senator Sasscer made virtually the
same speech at all three rallies-the
first at Mount Rainier, where Rep
resentative Lewis spoke; the second
at Hyattsville, where Senator Tydings
spoke, and the third at another Lewis
for-Senator meeting, at Seat Pleasant
