CAPITAL Transit To
Study Plans For
Olney Bus Line
Considering 60-Day Trial
Schedule After Mass-Meet-
ing OF More Than 100
Monday

Prospects for establishment of a
bus line between Washington and
a number of rural towns in the
northeastern part Of Montgomery
county frightened considerably this
week following a mass meeting Of
more than 100 persons on Monday
night in the county building at
Silver Spring.
The brightest spot in the horizon
arose out of a promise by E. D.
Merrill, president of the Capital
Transit Company, to seriously con-
slider a proposal for the separate
establishment of a 60-day expert
mental bus route to determine how
much patronage a bus from Wash
ington to Olney by way of Silver
Spring, Whaton, Glenmont ard
Norbeck would attract.
Mondays meeting was pre-
over by William F. Carlin, q ~
yer Spring. Speakers includ -"
Merrill and Dean j. Locks
Capital Transit Company; ~ =
A. Roberts of Safeway Tr nr
0. X. Duvall of Kensing o
Arthur Asheton, Glenmo'
Tompkins, Wheaton;
Buscher, Four Corners: a
Mae Downey, proprietc the
0lney Inn; Romeo w. Horad,
Wheaton; William John Thomas,
Sandy Spring, and Vincent Tntch-
ing, of the Manor Club.
After considering the proposal
for 6Q-day trial bus line, Mr..
Carlin appointed a special commit
tee to meet with Capital Transit
Company officials in Washington in
the next fewsdays to consider dis
cussions of the plan.
Members of the committee are
]. Donald Clagett, Mrs. Downey
and Messfs. Duvall, Buscher,
Tutching, Thomas and Carlif. A
special meeting of the committee
will be held this week prior to the
conference in Washington.
Mr.. Merrill spoke at length on
the problem from the transit COM
pany's standpoint and said the
company had always lost money on
previous bus lines to that part of
the county and he appeared dubi-
Gus about the prospects of making
such line pay at the present time.
Speakers from the various COM
munities, however, presented the
results Of surveys that have been
made during the past week which
indicated that a substantial volume
Of passenger business would be
available today.
Mr.. Carlin summed up the pres
ent situation by declaring that as
result of the Capital Transit
COmDany's attitude toward ex-
tending bus lines into the county,
persons buying homes outside the
fringe along the district line must
either buy an automobile or
Walk.
Mr.. Roberts, who last week had
said his company would establish
= bus line to Olney if guaranteed
$50 revenue per day, said his con-
Germ would await the decision of

lore taking any further steps.

BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, May 24.-Prime Minis
ter Chamberlain announced today
that the British government was
making new proposals to Soviet Rus-
sia for her adherence to the British
French front and he had every reA-
son to hope it would be possible to
reach full agreement at an early
date"
He said that as result of conve.'-
sations at Geneva between Forelgr.
Secretary Viscount Halifax and Ivsn
Maisky. Soviet Ambassador to Lon
don, "all relevant points of view had
now been made clear"
Speaking in the House of COM
mons. the Prime Minister reported
on the latest stage in the long
drawn negotiations between Britain
and Russia for their projected mu-
tual aid accord.
Earlier a two-hour cabinet meet
ing had heard a detailed report o:
Lord Halifax talks at Geneva with
Maisky and French Foreign Min
lister Bonnet.
Acceptance Reported Urged.
Informed quarters said the for
eign secretary urged immediate ac-
ceptance of RuSsia's terms for a
three power mutual assistance pact
among Britain, France and Russia.
Mr.. Chamberlain told the House
he hoped to be able to announce
the completion of an agreement with
the Soviet Union by the time Parlia-
ment reconvened, June 5, after the
Whitsun recess. The Prime Min
lister was brief. He said:
The House is aware that nv
noble friend Hord Halifax. the sec
retary of state for foreign affairs,
was able to have conversations with
the French ministers in Paris on
his way to Geneva.
He was also able to continue in
Geneva the conversations which had

"As result of these conversations
all relevant points of view have now
been made clear, and I have every
reason to hope that as a result of

Never 10 War Again,
King Tells Empire
Broadcast Follows Tour
Of Winnipeg Under
Steady Roin
BY the Associated Press.


WINNIPEG. May 24.-King George
VI told his empire and the world
today that mo man. thank God. will
ever again conceive" of the use of
force or threat to settle differences
between the peoples of my empire
and the people of the United
States
The King spoke on the occasion of
Empire Day, a world wide British
holiday, and from this center of his
Canadian dominion. His address
followed a tour through Winnipeg
streets in a steady rain, the King
and Queen riding in an open car.
The King sat unsheltered, but the
Queen held an umbrella.
King George told of the empire
changes under which Canada had
achieved self government and con-
tinued:
Nor is that the only chapter in
North American history that de-
serves consideration. Canada and
the United States have had to dis
pose Of searching differences of aim
and interest during the past hun
dred years; but never has one of
those differences been resolved by
force or by threat.
mo man, thank God, will ever
again conceive of such arbitrament
between the peoples of my empire
and the people of the United States.
The faith in reason and fair play,
which we share with them, is one
of the chief ideals that guides the
British empire in all its ways to-
day"
He stressed neither the wealth nor
power of the British empire in his
empire day message, saying those
things were but the instrument and
not the end or the ideal.
Bruises Fingers.
King George bruised the first two
fingers of his right hand when a
door of the royal train closed on
them last night. He appeared today
with the fingers taped, but officials
in his party said the injury was not
serious. On the station platform he
shook hands with those presented
to him and showed no indication
that the injury was bothering him.
Many of those here to join the
celebration came from across the
border. Some represented high
schools or public schools in Aber-
deem, S. OAK, and Moorehead, War
rem, Steven, Hallock, Norwood, st.
