Arguments will be heard tomorrow.
in District Court on an injunction II
proceeding against the Washington;
Marlboro & Annapolis Motor Lines
In regard to q bus fare increase be- III
tween Washington and Seat Pleas
ant, Md. III
A temporary restraining order.
issued by Chief Justice Edward C.ti
Eicher yesterday, was in effect to-
day, forcing the line to lower itsil
fare on the run from IS cents toII
the 10 cents which was being
charged prior to October rs. III
The temporary order was issued
on complaint of Price Administra- :,
tor Leon Henderson. He told the'Il
court that the bus line had failed to-
comply with an amendment to theil
Emergency Price Control Act. The
amendment provides that no COM
mon carrier shall make any general,
increase In it's rates from September
Is levels without giving notice to the
administrator of the amendment,
so he can intervene, If he Wishes
before the agency having jurisdic-
ton to consider such increase.
Permanent Injunction Asked.
Mr.. Henderson asked the court
to issue a permanent injunction
that would make the line abandon
the increase until it has complied"
with the requirements Of the
amendment.
The Price Administrator pointed
out in his complaint that the
amendment provides that the car
rier must give 80 days notice OF
proposed increases to the President,
or to such agency as he may desig-,
nate" The amendment became law
October 2.
On October 3 President Roosevelt
delegated to James F., Byrnes, di-
rector of economic sterilization, all
the powers described in the amend
ment. On October IA Mr.. Byrnes in
turn delegated the powers to Mr..
Henderson. -.
Sought Increase Earlier.
However, 1t was on September %,
II days before the amendment be-
came law, that the w. M. & A.
lines initiated steps looking toward
placing the increase into effect. On
that day it filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission a notice of
the proposed new tariffs. After 80
days, when no objections were filed
with the ICC, the increase was made
effective.
Mr.. Henderson charged that bus
firm was violating the Price Con-
trail Act and causing "irreparable"
injury to the public, who will be
forced toepay higher transportation
rates illegally put into operation"
The rate increase went into effect
Sunday, a week ago, on express
buses from Seat Pleasant to WASH
ington. When the increase was
announced, Harry r. Booth, OPA
utilities lawyer, requested Leslie l..
Altman, president of the w. M. &
A., to rescind the increase.
Mr.. Altman refused, however,
and at conference with Mr.. Booth
contended that he had given ade-
quate notice of intention to make
the increase when he filed notice in
September with the ICC.

Senate, House
at Stalenate

Senate and House are in almost
hopeless deadlock today over par
ity price and other amendments
to the $3.50 100000 agriculture ap-
preparation bill that is fast near
ing the June so deadline for pass
age.
The impasse was reached when
the Senate, by record votes, in
structed its conference committee
members to:
]. Hold out for a Senate amend
ment to sell 125,000000 bushels
Of sealed wheat at S. per cent
OF the corn parity price.
2. Retain the Senate figure OF
s125,000,0O0 for rural rehabilita-
ton loans instead of the House
appropriation Of $7O,O00.00O.
8. Insist on $4,000, 900 instead
Of $25.000000 TO carry out provis-
ions OF the Farm Tenancy Act
Sealed wheat is grain held by
the Federal Commodity Credit
Corporation as collateral for loans
TO farmers.
Although the upper House voted
46 to 13 to hold out for sale of
the wheat at less than the s133
parity price. there was stronger
division than the vote itself indl.

Sen. Smith Cd s. C.. chairman

manded that the Senate recede
