Decision on Selling
Tokens for 25Cents
Postponed for Month
Hearing Is Concluded;
Briefs by Citizens and
Company Awoited

Decision on the petition Of organ
lied citizens for sale Of Capital
Transit Co. tokens at three for Is
cents, instead Of a minimum Of six
for so cents, has been postponed by
the Public Utilities Commission for
more than a month.
When public hearings were con-
cluded yesterday, Commission Chair
man Gregory Hankin, granting time
for filing of briefs by the Federation
of Citizens Associations, the Fed
Grafton Of Civic Associations and the
Capital Transit Co.. said the case
would be concluded 80 days after
certain exhibits had been completed
by agents of the commission and the
company. This latter work is ex-
pected to take but day or SO.
Old Arguments Revived.
Many pages Of testimony have
been taken from representatives Of
the public and the company and
many of the same arguments were
employed that were used when the
token fare was changed from four
for 80 cents to six for so cents,
several years ago.
These may be summarized as fol-
lows:
For the public:
That sale of tokens at six for so
cents or three for quarter is mere
mathematical matter and amounts
to the same thing;
That sale Of tokens at no less
than six at time places hardship
on the poor. many of whom are I'M
employed or only internationally en-
ployed, to whom so cents at time
for transportation Is a relatively
large sum;
That in the majority persons In
the lower income groups do not
have $125 for the weekly streetcar
and bus pass; or so cents for tokens,
but that they might have Is cents
for three tokens;
That operative time for streetcars
and buses is lost as change is made
on the six for 50-cent basis, more so
than on basis Of three Tor Is cents;
That some patrons buying as many
as six tokens for so cents lose some
of them before they can use them;
and
That an unjust" discrimination
results from sale of tokens at no less
than six for so cents, which should
be corrected.
The Other Side.
For the company:
That in any token sale 1t Is
possible that there is some dis
elimination" but that the only test
Is whether there Is an 'unreason-
able" discrimination, and in this
case the company denies there Is an
unreasonable discrimination.
That If the token sale is changed
to three for Is cents the company
stands to lose in annual revenue
between $4,000 and $260,O00, as
cash or pass users change over to
token fare.
That such an experience Is to be
expected on the basis of previous
history.
That the argument that low income
groups are suffering a hardship is
not well supported, in that this
group is among the heaviest users
Of the SIPS weekly pass.
That the token fare is intended
for the quantity" buyer of transit
company service, rather than the
occasional or casual rider, and that
If the argument were carried to an
extreme one token would be sold
for 81a cents, or thereabout, elemi-
mating the difference between the
present Decent cash fare and the
81 cent token fare.

new substantially in the case of
welding.
All-Welded Tanks.
Welding armor plate, it has been
found, is quite a different job than
welding the thin sheet steel of =
Buick body. 1t will require skilled
welder two or three months to make
the change. These tanks are to be
entirely welded. Riveted tanks have
proved dangerous under shell fire.
Another problem is the disposal
of personnel. On car body four or
five men could work at every station
on the line. There were all sorts of
interior jobs to be done. With a
tank, designed for anything but
luxury and comfort, there is nothing
of the sort. It's production will be
slower. The line" will move at
snails pace. Where once thou
sand Buick bodies went over 1t in II
hours, only a few tanks will creep
along. This means that other jobs
must be found for many of the men.

Naval Shore Units

Worth $4,000
Check for December
SuIes Is Presented
To Morgenthnu

Secretary Of the Navy Knox last
night presented Secretary Of the
Treasury Morgenthau with q check
for approximately $l,7ooooo repre-
senting total sales Of Defense bonds
at naval shore establishments dur
ing December, and In the presenta-
ton, told Mr.. Morgenthau that
civilians as well Is service men are
''in this fight to the finish"
This Is an American spirit OF
which we can all be proud" said Mr..
Knox In q broadcast over the Blue
Network from Mr.. Morgenthau's
ONCE. Mr.. Knox added that civilian
workers Of the Navy are committed
to buy Defense bonds during 1912
with q maturity value Of 1900 900.
ION their behalf" he said, II am
proud to hold up their record as a
challenge to the country at large"
Mr.. Morgenthau thanked the
workers through Mr.. Knox and said,
"Let the Nazis and the Japanese look
at that response, and look at it well.
It Is Just another example OF the
spirit that is going to win the war
for freedom"
Meanwhile, Rear Admiral George
Pettengil1, In announcing the results
of the first days sales in the Wash
ington Navy Yard, said "The United
States is fighting mad"
"In one day, January 80, the men
Of this yard guaranteed to allot from
their pay each month $4,000 for
the purchase Of bonds to bomb the
Axis" he said. IF the reaction of
the people of this Yard is any sam
pie of the way all the United States
feels, there can not be any question
as to the outcome of the war"
From this beginning, he said, the
Yard is aiming for 5000 900 per
month Of salary allotments. Pre-
viously, sales in the Yard had been
made by agents, and had totaled
over 100000.

Educators Propose
Wartime Aid byU.S.
For College Students
Also Recommend Funds
For Special Programs
In Essential Fields

By the Associated Press.
Federal financial aid on q broad
scale to accelerate the education Of
college youth, for assurance of IAN
adequate and continuous supply Of
men and women trained for various
wartime services" was proposed to-
day by the Wartime Education Com
mission. r
Tie commission, established by
the Federal Education Office, rec
commended also that Federal funds
be provided to pay the added costs
that colleges incur by maintaining
special programs in fields essential
to the war effort.
The 80 commission members,
representing various educational
associations, made no estimate of
the amount Of Federal funds needed
in their report to John w. Stude-
baker, United States Commissioner
Of Education.
They suggested that direct grants
be made to qualified, needy students
who want to speed up their studies
in connection with the war effort,
and that funds be made available
for part-time employment of stu
dents who could not otherwise con-
tinue their education, regardless Of
whether they actually were studying
in fields directly related to the war.
Many colleges already are adj
justing their programs to provide
intensive summer courses, with the
purpose of crowding into one year
the equivalent of the study usually
undertaken in a year and a half.
The National Youth Administra-
ton now provides part-time jobs for
thousands of needy college students,
but the commission suggested that
all the aid proposed in its report be
administered through the United
States ONCE Of Education.

U. ). Freighter, Adrift
For Days, Is lowed
1900 Miles 10 Britain
Crew Of Vessel Wins
Admiralty Proise for
Coping With Storms
BY the Associated Press.
Ny-xwr ~~~~

oy TIC hSoOSldtcu
NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-The Ameri-
can-owned freighter Macbeth drifted
helplesly for days in stormy North
Atlantic seas, an easy target for
enemy submarines, before she was
towed more than 1900 miles to a
British port, it was disclosed in a
copy Of British newspaper arriving
here yesterday.
For their seamanship and STOUT
hearted endurance" the crew of the
vessel, which few the Panama flag,
won the commentator of the Brit
ish admiralty, said the paper, the
Liverpool Journal Of Commerce.
The ship, the former 4,935-ton
italian freighter Ida z. o., which
this country seized with other Axis
merchantmen in American ports,
was returning from a fall lease-lend
voyage to Britain when she de-
veloped trouble in her fuel oil heat
ing coil, shutting of oil from her
boilers. She was under the COM
mand Of Capt. Duncan MacKinnon,
So, of Toronto, Canada, survivor of
a torpedoing of the previous year.
The Macbeth feared to radio her
position, but finally tug from Can
ada managed to locate her. Then,
the British paper said, she was
towed 400 miles, in the face of gale
force winds, until the tug had to
leave because exhaustion of fuel left
the tug only enough to make port.
After that came another period
Of drifting and waiting before a
British Admiralty tug, one of the
most powerful in the world, reached
her, escorted by a corvette. Water
had been rising slowly In the Mac
beth's compartments because her
pumps could not be operated.
England was 900 miles off, and
because Of prevailing winds a deci-
sion was made to head there. The
voyage was accomplished without
sighting any foe.

Free Insurance Plan
For Men in Service
Aired in Senate
It's Next Logical Step,'
La Toilette Says, After
War Domoge Bill Passes
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senate passage Of the $1,000,-
100000 war damage bill giving
property owners free insurance
up to $4,000 damage has raised
the question of providing free
life insurance for members OF
the armed forces.
Although such a proposal has not
been presented to Congress, Senator
La Toilette, Progressive, of Wiscon-
sin, told the Senate yesterday dur
ing debate on the War Damage Corp.
bill that Congress might as well
face the next logical step"-free
insurance for the men who fight.
II merely wish to point out" he
said, that If we are to accept the
principle that damages sustained to
property through war, up to a limit
of $4,000, are to be shared equally
by payments in restitution from the
Treasury of the United States with
out any contributory premiums, we
ought to be prepared to take the
next logical step-and I do not see
how we can escape it-and that Is
to provide insurance to the men In
the armed services, many OF whom
are under fire, without extracting
q premium from them"
One Plan in Effect Now.
Men in the armed services already
are provided Government war risk
insurance, but they must pay pre-
miums in relation to the amount OF
insurance they obtain.
The new war damage bill would
not require premiums from property
owners until a damage ceiling Of
$4,000 had been reached. Above
that point, insurance would require
premium payments to be established
later by the War Damage Corp.
Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio told the Senate yesterday that
the British system required COM
pulsory premiums of every British
property owner for war damage in
surance. American constitutional
provisions, he said, prohibit such
compulsory levies because they
would be considered Federal tax
on property.
Senator Danaher, Republican, Of
Connecticut first raised the question
of free insurance for soldiers when
he questioned Jesse H. Jones, Secre-
tary of Commerce and Federal loan
administrator, during consideration
of the property-insurance bill by the
Senate Banking and Currency Com
mittee.
Danaher Hits Free Ride"
"Why should we give property
owners a free ride under this pro-
lection and yet require all the boys
that are sent into the service to
pay for their coverage?" Senator
Danaher asked.
Il cannot argue with you on that"
said Secretary Jones. "Of course,
this Is property insurance"
Senator La Toilette carried the
question further on the Senate floor
when he added:
IF the Standard Oil Co. Of New
Jersey is to be reimbursed Tor dam
age to its Bayonne IN. j. plant up
to $4,000 without contributing q
penny to the Treasury of the United
States to help carry the cost OF that
insurance, I do not see how Con-
sress can decline to extend insur-
ance to the men in the armed serv-
Ices of the United States without
extracting q premium out OF their
SCI q month"

attack was sharply repulsed.
Our troops continued to mop
up tattered remnants Of the jap
anese who had previously landed
on the West coast or who had
tnfiltrated behind our lines.
These enemy troops were from
the Tatori group and the XII
mura division and were found
in isolated pockets. No rein
forcements we're able to reach
them. The enemy had attempted
to supply them internationally
with food and ammunition drop
ped by parachute. However,
most of these supplies fell into
our hands.
The Japanese prisoners Of war
expressed great surprise at the
humane treatment they are re-
ceiying at our hands. They said
that they had been told we would
execute all prisoners.
On our right there was little
activity during the last "a hours.
Enemy air activity over our
lines was limited to few spor-
adic bombing attacks which did
no damage.
