A. B. &W. Passenger Load Rises
122 Per Cent in Three Months

With only 10 per cent increase
in equipment and a 81 per cent in
crease in number of drivers, the Alex
andria areas only transit firm, the
A, B. and w. Transit Co., handled
122 per cent more passengers during
the last three months of 1912 than
in the same period of 1941, according
to figures released by r. T. Mitchell,
traffic manager of the company.
In October, November and De-
cember Of 1941 the average load car
rled was 100000 passengers a month
with 1860 drivers handling los buses.
In the same period last year, g.
600 900 passengers were carried
monthly by 125 buses manned by 210
drivers
1t is the only public transportation
between Alexandria, Washington and
Fort Belvoir, and the only one in
Alexandria. The A. B. and w. thus
serves not only Alexandria's $1,000
residents, but employees of the Penta-
gon Building, the Navy Annex, the
Naval Torpedo Station, the Army
Air Forces and the National Airport
who live in the District. It also
serves the more than 10000 men
from Fort Belvoir and their visitors.
Although the $4,000 Pentagon
Building and the 5000 Navy Annex
employees also use Capital Transit
Co. facilities and the Arlington

Virginians Warned
To Get Liquor Ration
Books This Week
Those Falling to Apply
Face Delay Until Feb. 8,
Official Declares

Virginians who do not apply for
liquor rationing books this week will
not be able to do SO until February
8, E. E. Lawlor, jr., manager of
stores in the Northern Virginia area,
said today.
Contrary to reports that books
would be issued at the ABC Board
next week, Mr.. Lawlor declared no
civilian registration would be han
died between next Monday and Feb
ruary 8, with the exception of tran
sients, who will be given special
books with a limited unmber of
coupons.
On February g. persons who have
not done so may register at ABC
stores, but they are urged to apply
this week if possible.
To date no announcement of an
extended general registration and
no sale period has been announced,
Mr.. Lawlor said stores were still
crowded with registrants all day,
and Alexandria reported an average
OF 400 books a day per store.
Registration Is Banned.
Regarding the change of plans to
register naval personnel, a repre-
sentative of the commanding officer
of the 5th Naval District has in
formed the State ABC Board that it
was impossible for Navy men in
Virginia to be registered and issued
ration books under direction of the
5th Naval District.
It was stated that the district
lacks the machinery to handle the
work and does not have jurisdiction
over all the naval, marine and Coast
Guard units in the State
The naval officials said, however,
that they would cooperate with the
ABC Board and the board was in
formed that the Norfolk Naval Op-
Grating Base would handle the
distribution of the special cards for
sailors on brief liberties of less than
70 hours ashore.
An ABC spokesman said delay
would be necessary in registering
Navy personnel because a new
method of issuing books must be
sought.

an extra load estimated at Is per
cent and a 25 per cent increase in
weekend traffic.
Recently the Office Of Defense
Transportation gave the bus line
some help by releasing 30 new buses,
thus allowing A. B. and w. to retire
six buses no longer considered fit
for use, and to return six borrowed
from Government agency.
Tuesdays ODT order authorized
use of the new buses 1000 miles
month instead of 1000 as originally
ordered. This will permit the new
buses to operate in both morning
and evening hours instead of only
in emergency.
The A. B. and w reported to the
ODT last week that most of the new
vehicles had run the 1000 miles al
lowed for January in less than three
weeks and were lying idle in the
barn. In 1912 the buses not subject
to ODT regulations ran 5000 miles
month.
Other difficulties facing the COM
pany are serious shortagae of me-
chanlcs, and tire problem.

Legislative Proposals
OF Prince Georges
Studied by Delegation
County's Legislators to
Hear RuruI Residents at
Upper Marlboro Monday

More than score of proposed
bills were being studied today by
members Of the Prince Georges
County delegation to the State Leg
islature following their presentation
to the group by county residents at
a recent meeting in Hyattsville.
A similar hearing will be held
from 1:30 to pm. Monday at the
Upper Marlboro courthouse for
rural residents of the county.
Several of the proposals were pre-
sented by Hyattsville officials who
are seeking to streamline the city
government.
Entails Several Changes.
The measures, which officials said
would eliminate lot of overlap
ping" call for elimination of one
Of the city'S four wards. an increase
in pay for the Mayor from S192 to
$500 year and that of council
members from S156 to $500 year, a
reduction in the number of council
men from eight to six, biennial cleo
tlons instead Of yearly ones and a
change in hours of voting.
Mayor E. Murray Cover. who said
no opposition to the proposed bills
has been expressed by Hyattsville
residents, urged that they be intro
duced as soon as possible.
Officlals of Mount Rainier asked
that legislation be introduced giving
the town authority to establish an
other ward and to bring an apart
ment development, now under con-
struction on Queens Chapel road
and Thirtieth street. within the
towns corporate limit.
Representatives of the Laurel
/ town government proposed a bill to
give the town authority to obtain
two acres Of land now belonging to
the State. They also urged eStab-
lishment of a police substation in
the town. in addition to the ones at
Hyattsville and Upper Marlboro.
Ask HyattsviIle Meetings.
A proposal that the county COM
! missioners hold alternate weekly
meetings in the County Service
Building in Hyattsville was pre-
sented by members of the County
Chamber of Commerce and the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations.
1t was pointed out that the pres
ent system of holding meetings only
in Upper Marlboro works a hardship
on residents of the metropolitan
area of the county.
Representatives of the two groups
also asked for legislation requiring
/ that no liquor license shall be
granted to establishments within
+ 1000 feet OF a school or church
There are no restrictions on their
location at present, it was said.

Arnold Bus Line
Under Fire on
Cut in Service
Official Assui|s Firm
For Failure to End
Service at RossIyn

The Arnold-operated bus line. in
opposing an ODT proposal to make
Rosslyn its terminal on Sundays, is
the only line in the Washington
area that thus far has refused to
comply with an ODT order issued
last April with respect to conserv-
ing public transportation equipment,
Milton Diehl, the Northern Virginia
representative of the federal agency,
charged today.
Arlington County officials and
representatives of the Arnold-op-
Grated line have objected to the
proposal, declaring that it would
create an impossible" traffic situa-
ton.
Mr. Diehl said that In April
Joseph B. Eastman, ODT director,
announced that wherever possible,
paralleling street car and bus lines
should be curtailed.
Claims Others Cooperate.
Such policy has been followed in
Washington and throughout the
country, Mr.. Diehl asserted. For
ington, Marlboro & ANNAPOLIS Bus
Co. is now engaged in a program of
turning most of its buses around at
Barney Circle, while the Montgom-
cry Bus Lines Co. will suspend it's
downtown operations and use the
Tenleytown car barn as its terminal
beginning February 12
Hr,1ty 1;oo
the Washington, Virginia and
Maryland Coach Co.'s refusing to
take similar action and is opposing
the ODT proposal, he added.
Admitting that the rate problem
is the principal stumbling block in
the proposal, Mr.. Diehl said he did
not think bus riders should pay two
fares or even any increased fare.
If the proposal is approved, he ex-
planned, passengers would pay one
fare on the Arnold-operated buses
and another when they got on Capt.
tai Transit Co. equipment at Ross
lyn.
Il think such setup is absurd"
he declared. These two companies
should get together and agree on
reasonable division of the total fare.
If that's done, I don't think the pub
lie would object to getting off at
Rosslyn."
Foresees ODT Order.
In answer to a charge by officials
OF the Arnold-operated line that the
ODT is holding up delivery of 20 new
buses until the firm approves the
Rosslyn proposal, Mr.. Diehl said
that was question to be answered
by ODT officials.
Il don't determine policy" he
said. II just make report to the
national Office and the officials take
appropriate action"
He added that he believed ~the
ODT would order the Sunday turn
around at Rosslyn If the Arnold
line docs not show willingness to
cooperate"
The ODT official also asserted
that mot one objection" to the pro-
posal had been offered at meeting
last Monday of the Cherrydale Citi-
zens' Association.
c. S. Cobbins, president of the
association, could not be reached for
comment today, but one member of
the group said he understood" that
the body would make no protests to
the move as long as it was con-
sidered necessary in order to con-
serve rubber and transportation
equipment"
On the other hand, Arlington
County Board Chairman Basil de
Lashmutt said yesterday that resi-
dents of the county are "incensed"
at the situation.

State Budget
Bill Proposal
FacesFight
Delegates Seek
Advance Copies
OF Amendments
BY the Associated Press.


ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 28.-A con-
troversy on the floor of the House
OF Delegates was expected today
over a proposal that all House
members be provided with printed
copies of proposed amendments to
the budget bill at least "a hours in
advance of consideration.
Although the resolution providing
such a step had not been reported
by the Rules Committee, members of
the House who declined to be quoted
by name said the committee had de-
clded to hand down an unfavorable
report.
The Rules Committee was repre-
sented as having decided that to
single out amendments to a par
tlcular bill for such treatment was
unfair.
Would Bar Veto Power.
Meanwhile, the same committee
was expected to report favorably to-
day on resolution which would in
effect remove the Governors power
OF absolute veto over it's bills.
Speaker Thomas E. Conlon, chair
man of the Rules Committee, said
the group would make a favorable
report on the resolution. introduced
by Delegate Bernard S. Melnicove
of Baltimore.
The resolution, similar to one in
troduced in the Senate but on which
no action has been taken, would re-
quire the House clerk to date all bills
within six days of final passage.
The Governor would then have an
other six days in which to approve
or veto them.
In the, past the Assembly tradi-
tionally has delivered all bills to
the Governor without dating them,
which allowed him to hold them
until after the Assembly adjourned.
Floor Fight Promised.
The Legislative Council bill intro
duced in the Senate would have the
same effect but it would not apply
to the present session of the Legis-
lature.
Speaker Conlon said he under
stood Gov. O'Conor would support
the Melnicove resolution.
Proponents of the resolution,
which would require the House prin-
ter to supply copies of committee
amendments to the budget bill to
the Delegates, and would delay ac-
ton until "a hours after this had
been done, promised a floor fight on
any unfavorable committee report.
The resolution was offered Janu-
ary 20 by Delegate Jerome Robinson
of Baltimore, who asserted, 1T is
impossible for members of the
House to follow amendments to the
budget bills during the proceedings,
and the journal is not usually suffi-
ciently up to date to show amend
ments to such bills in time to in
form the members"
Wider Job Benefits Asked.
Both Houses of the Assembly had
their busiest days yesterday.
One of the most important bills
introduced during the day was
brought into the Senate by Senator
George w. Della of Baltimore. 1t
would liberalize State unemployment
compensation benefits.
Backed by the administration, it
would extend coverage to every en-
ployer in Maryland having one or
more persons on the payroll
A total Of 80 bills were passed dur
ing the DAY, most Of them minor
measures prepared by the Legisla-
tive Council
Seventeen new bills were intro
duced. II of them into the House.

plan to place rationing in nearby
Maryland and Virginia under the
Jurisdiction of the District OPA ap-
peared today to have been aban-
doned following meeting yester-
day of Prince Georges and Mont
gomery Counties rationing officials
and OPA representatives.
The OPA representatives admitted
yesterday that they; would have to
drop the plan because of the strong
opposition against it.
Those attending the conference

and John H. Beall, Leonard H.
Burch, chairman OF the Prince
Georges Ration Board; George Cook,
Sherman Hollingsworth and Merle
Hardy, members of the Prince
Georges Board, and Julius P Stad-
Ter, Montgomery County rationing
chairman.
Proposal Called Unfair.
Mr.. Carson told the OPA officials
that the present rationing setup in
the nearby counties could carry on
the work to the best advantage Of
the residents and that the OPA pro-
posal would be unfair" and "en-
tirely unsatisfactory"
In reply to a suggestion that the
nearby areas would have a greater
opportunity to obtain fuel oil If they
were merged with the District, Mr..
Carson pointed out that dealers in
both Prince Georges and Montgom-
cry Counties get their oil direct
from Baltimore.
He also said that District fuel
oil firms would not abandon deliv-
cries in the nearby counties be
cause they have to compete with
fuel oil dealers in those areas and
they want to keep their customers
after the war"
Congressman Opposed.
Senators Tydings and Radcliffe and
Representatives Sasscer and Beall
have objected strongly to any move
to transfer rationing procedures in
nearby Maryland from the jurisdic-
ton of the State Office of Price Ad-
ministration in Baltimore.
In addition, members Of the
Prince Georges Ration Board have
threatened to resign If such a
change is put into effect.
The Montgomery County COM
missioners, going on record against
the proposed merger, said that it
would increase the bureaucratic or
/ administrative" rating of the Dis
trict Office and thus permit higher
salaries and a greater number Of
| appointments.
In a telegram sent recently to Mr..
Sasscer, Leon Henderson, a former
OPA chief, declared that the pres
ent setup creates unnecessary du-
plication and results in a "wasteful
expenditure of public funds"
