SimpIified Checking
On Pleasure Driving
To Start This Week
Suspected Motorists
May File Explanation
With OPA by Letter

The handling of suspected pleas
ure driving violations should become
simpler for every one concerned, be-
ginning this week, when the plan to
weed out innocent motorists, an =
nounced by the District OPA last
week, begins to show results.
Under the simplifed procedure
every driver cited by OPA inspectors
or police will be given an opportunity
to vindicate himself before the case
is turned over to one of the IS area
rationing boards for a hearing. This
will be done by notifying the motor
list by mail that he has been reported
to the District OPA and allowing
him three days in which to explain.
Explanation by Letter.
The driver, if he believe himself
innocent of a violation, may then
write letter to local OPA head
quarters, 5601 Connecticut avenue
NV, and explain his case to the en-
forcement division. Or he may call
in person to set forth the circum-
stances. No telephone explanation
will be accepted, however. If officials
are satisfied that no violation &C.
CURED by the motorists explanation
the matter will be dropped without
further ado. On the other hand, if
doubt still exists, the matter will be
referred to the proper area board
and hearing will be scheduled.
This new method was adopted
after dozens of motorists, called in
by their area boards, were found
to have been cited for pleasure
driving when their cars were parked
at their places of employment or
while they were driving to work.
Local officials soon saw that it would
be necessary not only to save time
for the boards, but for the innocent
motorists themselves, if the pleasure
driving ban was to continue sue
cessful.
No Appeals Attempted.
Cases of persons cited by in
spectors when their cars are actually
parked near their homes are elirni-
mated as soon as the address of the
car owner is obtained through a
check of the license tag numbers.
According TO local OPA officials,
not a single appeal from the de-
cision of an area board has been
filed with Whitney Leary, District
OPA director.
Three hearings have been sched-
uled for tomorrow. These are by
Board II, Force School, 1740 Massa-
chusetts avenue NV, at tbs pm;
Board 81, Petworth Library, Georgia
avenue and Upshur street NV, $50
pm, and Board %, Langdon School,
Twentieth and Evarts streets NE,

PUG Orders Trial Sale
OF Bus, Car Tokens
AT ) for 25Cents
Rate, Long Advocated
By Civic Unit, to Take
Effect Within Week

The long fight waged by civic
groups to obtain the sale of street.
car and bus tokens at the rate of
three for IS cents was rewarded
yesterday when the Public Utilities
Commission ordered the sale at that
rate for trial period.
The decision was unanimous, al
though Gregory Hankin disagreed
with the contention of the other two
commission members that the
present sale of tokens at the rate
of six for so cents does not con-
stitute discrimination.
The order directing the Capital
Transit Co. to sell token in units of
three until further order" of the
commission, will go into effect on
or before next Sunday, the COM
mission said.
Proceedings Reopened.
The proceedings on the matter
had been reopened on a petition Of
the Fort Davis Citizens Association
after the commission previously had
turned down the proposal.
THE weight of evidence" the PUG
decision declared, will support a
finding by the commission that the
sale of six tokens for so cents rather
than three tokens for 25 cents does
not constitute discrimination, - -"
However. the commission added that
it found that the sale OF three
tokens for IS cents was "a con-
venient method of selling tokens and
that it may facilitate individual
transactions"
II concur in the result reached"
Mr. Hankin said in a separate re-
port, but for different reason.
namely, that the sale OF six tokens
for so cents results in unjust dis
