BALTIMORE, Oct. 5.-The Public
Service Commission took under con-
slderatlon yesterday a resolution by
the Town Council of Greenbelt ask
ing that the PSC order resumption
OF bus service between Greenbelt

The commission action followed
receipt of request from the Office
OF Defense Transportation recently
ordering the Capital Transit Co.,
Washington, to discontinue that
portion of the bus service which
parallels a trolley line.
The Greenbelt Councils resolu-
ton declares that the imposed Or
der will cause the loss of a tre-
mendous amount of man hours per
day for numerous Government, de-
tense and military residents of the
town of Greenbelt and surrounding
area, and the proposed service (by
trolley is inadequate and will be
detrimental to the health of all

ton"
The Council asked the commission
to rescind this recent order and
restore the Greenbelt-Mount Raj

BY the Associated Press.


RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 5.-Virginia

along dangerous highways to reach

General Abram P. Staples
The opinion, submitted to the
State Supreme Court of Appeals.
admitted error in the case of Wade
Foster versus the Commonwealth of
Virginia.
Mr.. Foster, colored, was convicted
in the Circuit Court of Fauquier
County on charge that he violated
section 663 of the Virginia code by
failing to send his children to school.
He was fined $75 and costs, although
he had contended he failed to send
his children to school because it
would have been necessary for them
to walk on a dangerous highway
1t also was contended by the de-
fense, on an appeal, that the Fau-
quier County School Board had re-
fused to provide bus transportation
for colored children "solely because
of their race and color"
Mr.. Staples held error in the case
on the ground that the Circuit Court
had refused to give an instruction
requested by the defendant in effect
that the jury should find the de-
fendant not guilty if they found
from the evidence that the lives and
limbs of Mr.. Fosters children would
be endangered by walking over
highways.
The case has been withdrawn from
the Supreme Court docket and will
not be argued.

Asserts Army Service
Does Not Bar Him
From Legislature

Harrison Mann, Arlington County
Democratic campaign chairman, to-

Michael, Republican chairman. that
Maj. Charles r. FenWick, Demo-
cratic candidate for reelection to
the House of Delegates. was dis
qualified under the State constitu-
ton to hold Office because he is in
the Army.
Mr.. Mann asserted there is no
question as to Maj. Fenwick's ELI
gibility, and that the constitutional
provision referred to by Mr..
Michael, which provides in part that
no person holding post of profit
under the United States Gov
ernment shall be eligible to either
house" already had been held by
the Legislature to be inapplicable
to citizens in the armed services
during the present war.
Action Recalled.
During the last special session
OF the Legislature, Mr.. Mann said.
three Virginians who were then
Army officers attended the session.
were seated without question and
participated in all activities of the
General Assembly,"
He pointed out that the Legisla-
ture, which the State constitution
specifically provides is the sole
judge Of the qualifications of it's
members, passed law at the spe-
cial session which interpreted the
constitutional provision referred to
by Mr.. Michael as being inapplicable
to persons whose sole salary from
the State, as that of Mai. Fen
wlck's. does not exceed $1,000
year.
Mr.. Mann referred to a recent
opinion by Attorney General Abram
P. Staples in which he questioned
whether a person who risks life
and limb in the armed forces of his
country in time of war" holds an
office of post of profit" within the
contemplation of the Constitution.
Fears Calamity
1T would be a calamity to Ar
lington." continued Mr.. Mann, IF
the county were to lose the ad-
vantages which accrue to it in the
Legislature through the experience,
influence and prestige enjoyed by
Maj. Fenwick. Arlington, through
Maj. Fenwick, has representation
and seniority on numerous commit
tees and boards. including the i'm
