2-to.1 PUG Vote
Rejects Plea for ;
Tokens for Is Gents
Decision Held Up
Since Nay Announced
As Hunkin Files Dissent

With Commissioner Gregory Han
kin dissenting, the District Public
Utilities Commission has denied petit
tions Of organized citizens for an
order requiring the Capital Transit
Co. to sell streetcar tokens at three
for Is cents instead Of six for SO
'cents.
The decision was dated last May
IL, but its issuance was withheld
during the past six months to await
the dissenting opinion Mr.. Hankir
said he wanted to write. This be-
come available yesterday.
The principal argument of pro-
ponents of the requested change was
that sale of tokens at six for so
cents placed a hardship on the poor
or the unemployed who might have
a quarter to spend at one time for
tokens but not as much as so cents.
Lacking a half dollar, such riders
then would be compelled to pay a
straight 10-cept cash fare and this,
it was argued, constituted an unjust
discrimination which should be re-
moved.
Discrimination Denied.
The formal petitions. on which
hearings were held last January and
February, were filed for the Feder-
alton of Citizens Associations and
the Federation of Civic Associations.
The PUG majority, Chairman
James H. Flanagan and Engineer
Commissioner Charles w. Kutz, held
that the record of the case did not
Justify a finding that sale OF six
tokens for so cents constituted an
unjust or reasonable discrimination.
They recalled the issue in the case
was specifically limited to such a
question. They denied the applica-
tions without prejudice" against
any possible revival of demands for
the change.
Mr.. Hankin protested the ma
jority had made no findings of facts
and that this was contrary to "the
established rule of administrative
law"
He argued there was discrimina-
ton in that the average holder of a
weekly 81 Is pass takes enough rides
to bring the per ride cost down to a
little more than 4 cents; that the
token fare Is 81a cents per ride, or
double the per ride cost for the
pass buyer; and that payment of a
10 cent cash fare is $50 per cent
more than pass fare ride or Is per
cent, he computed, more than a
token fare. He argued that the
law forbids "any" kind of discrimi-
nation, not merely an unjust or
unreasonable" discrimination.
Denies Gross Revenue Loss.
Mr.. Hankin maintained there is a
large part" of the population here
which at any one time can COM
mand as much as Is cents but not
as much as SO cents for transporta-
ton.
Also, he protested that the COM
pany's testimony that the toker,
fare change. would mean a loss in
gross revenues of between $192, 600
and $3.50, 900 year, as more persons
bought tokens instead of paying
cash fares, "accentuated the in
justice and unreasonableness of the
discrimination"
Mr.. Hankin also declared that If
the change resulted in q reduction in
gross revenues the company still
made no claim that it would thereby
be required to operate with less than
q reasonable return.

Hunting Death
Accused is
Found Guilty

SANDUSKY, Mich, Dec "a
Up John Fink, %, Pontiac
factory worker who shot and
killed his hunting host in an ar
gument over "Nazism, was
found guilty of second degree
murder yesterday.
The verdict was returned by
Circuit Judge X. A. Boomhower,
who heard the trial without a
jury. Fink was remanded to the
county Jail to await sentence.
In his testimony Fink said he
killed James Holestine, SO, in
self-defense when the latter
threatened him. The shooting
took place in the farm home of
Holestine's mother, Mrs. Joseph
Holestine, the morning of Oct.
II after the men had returned
from hunting.
Fink said he and Holestine
had been drinking and started
arguing over Nazism, when
Holestine said "Im damn proud
to be Nazi," Fink said he re-
torted that any Nazis in the
United States fought to have
their heads blown off" and that
then Holestine reached for his
gun. Fink said he seized his gun
at that and shot Holestine.

Shooting is too good for a per-
son who would do such q thing"
Tom c. Clark, chief of the
Justice Department War Frauds
division, said his office was in
vestigating 900 cases of suspect
ed wartime fraud against the
government, and that approx
mately IS of these involved ac-
cusations that defective or infer
ior materials were manufactured
and delivered, wilfully, to the
armed services.
Indictments have been return
ed against three concerns on
such charges, he reported.
Hobbs said that anyone pur-
pbsefully manufacturing and de-
livering faulty materials that
might cost the lives of soldiers,
sailors or marines should be
tried under the treason clause of
the constitution, for giving aid
and comfort to the enemy, but
Clark explained that to obtain
a treason conviction it would be
necessary to prove that "the de-
PENDANT adheres to the enemy
and gives the enemy aid and
comfort"
In the indictments returned
thus far, he said, no contention
has been made that the alleged
offenders adhered to and tried
to aid the enemy, but the motive
in wartime fraud cases usually
