sideration the application was
voided.
application was made" DR.. Byrd
said, "for a military college rating,
but after investigation it was found
that the disadvantages of such a
rating would have outweighed the
advantages, and the application was
accordingly withdrawn
Commenting on the situation, Col.
Robert E. Wysor, professor of mill
tary science and training, said,
naturally I'm prejudiced for it, but
the administration doesn't think it
feasible. I realize, Of course, that it
would mean changing the entire
character of the school and that ex-
penses of the individual student, es-
pecially for such items as dress uni
forms, would be greatly increased" ]"
However, there is no foretelling
what may happen in two or three
years time. The university by that
time may return to the situation
that existed during the first World
War whereby all students were paid
a dollar a day and were considered
as members of the Regular Army"

Landlord dge
Refuses to Rule
In Rent Case

On the grounds that he was 6
landlord, Judge James r. Duncan
declined to hear case in Alexandra
Civil Court yesterday in which there
was possibility of having to rule
on the validity of Office of Price
Administration rent control regu-
lations.
Judge Duncan requested that the
case be tried by Associate Judge
Harry F. Kennedy who owns his
own home and has no personal in
terest in the rent control law
The case was concerned with an
eviction order sent to a tenant of
the Martha Washington trailer
camp at Powhatan street, Alexan-
dria, by Mrs. Nell Grisson, owner OF
the camp. The order said the trailer
in question did not have wheels
and so did not comply with the city
trailer ordinance.
The eviction was contested on the
grounds that the OPA had not re-
ceived the proper notification.
Judge Kennedy elected to hear the
case on it's merit in relation to the
local ordinance and gave verdict
in favor of Mrs. Grisson when a
notification of the eviction sent to
the OPA was produced.

GreenbeIt Counsel

Proposed Changes

BALTIMORE, Aug. 19.-The Pub
lie Service Commission, continuing
its hearing on Capital Transit Co.
petition to make changes in bus and
terminal connections in it's District
Prince Georges County service, had
before it today denial of the firms
claim that it's service exceeded re-
quirements.
Harper L. Rysticken. Greenbelt
town counsel. told the commission
yesterday that he checked the
Greenbelt bus line of the transit
firm for three-hour period Mon
day and that during that time all
buses had standing passengers.
Earlier Dean j. Locke, the transit
companys staff engineer, said pres
ent Accommodations we're in excess
of requirements.
Substitute Plan Proposed.
Mr.. Rysticken suggested a sub
stitute plan to that proposed by the
bus company. His plan included
the adoption of larger buses and
changes in certain terminals.
There has been more than 100
per cent increase in bus and street.
car traffic since January, 1912, Mr..
Rysticken said. producing a petition
signed by 1,755 persons in Green
belt asking rejection Of the transit
company's petition.
Earlier, the PSC heard charges
that the transit company had shown
favoritism to Montgomery County
customers and had failed to improve
service to Prince Georges County
communities.
c. D. Anderson. secretary of the
Prince Georges County Chamber
of Commerce, testified the company
had not improved the service in
three years. He told the commits
sion that extra service had been
given Montgomery County because
the charges there were higher than
in Prince Georges County and be-
cause the pass system had been
abandoned.
THE company is doing everything
it can" Mr.. Anderson added, ito put
Prince Georges County in the same
position"
Firms Figures Challenged.
The company's petition. first heard
by the PSC on May 20, seeks to
eliminate some bus lines, make route
changes and use the Mount Rainer
terminal as its focal point.
Mr.. Locke gave the commission
recent ,traffic counts on the bus
line between Greenbelt and the
Berwyn connection with the Mary
land carline
One of the opponents of the
petition then charged that the
figures presented by Mr.. Locke did
not represent fair picture.
John w. Fincham said the figures
we're taken at the District line. He
maintained they were therefore un-
reliable because the buses we're
crowded with passengers going to
District points. The buses, he added,
were crowded at the downtown sta
tions, but were one-third empty at
the District line.
