Rysticken Balks
Bus Service Cut
By Transit Co.

New efforts by Capital
Transit Company to limit
Greenbelt's transportation
through the Office of De-
fense Transportation were
revealed yesterday BY
Arthur Rysticken, assistant
community manager.
Order in November
1t will be recalled by local COM
muters that the company's request
for permission to remove its bus
line to Mt. Rainier and operate
only a shuttle bus to Branchville
was refused by the Maryland Pub
lie Service Commission after ex-
tended hearings in Baltimore.
An order issued by the Commits
sion in November directed that
the present service be maintained,
the findings submitted as basis
except that trial period of the
shuttle service could be made and
1Of IufCner action.
The company did not begin the
trial runs, but instead-Green-
belters now learn-asked the Of
flee of Defense Transportation to
intercede with the State Public
Service Commission on their be-
half. 1t was pointed out that the
restricted service would save both
tires and gas, as well as wear of
the buses.
Learns of Move
Before real pressure could be
put on the Commission Mr.. Ry-
stricken. who has carried the
transportation fight for the Green
belt town administration, learned
OF the move. He called officials of
the ODT and offered data showing
how any further curtailment
would cripple the public transpor-
tation available for war workers
in this community. He then in
formed the Public Service Com
mission and asked that no hasty
action be taken.
His efforts were rewarded last
week when the Commission issued
a new order refusing to reconsider
its previous order since evidence
and investigation had been it's
basis, while the ODT had no such
body of findings on which to base
its decision.
The present bus service will re-
main, then, until further notice.
Not The End
"This climaxes a nine-month
fight" Mr. Rysticken told the Co.
. operator, but it is not the end at
ALL" He predicted that further
efforts towards reduction might be
made later by either the Company
or the ODT.
'In the meantime" he added,
1--WE have not lost sight of the
desirability Of a loop bus service
within Greenbelt. However, We
must fight one problem at time.
We should not needlessly compli-
cate our fight to retain what we
have by asking for more. The
loop seems beyond reach now since
the ODT holds that a person has
adequate public transportation if
there is bus Or street car service
within two miles. In peacetime
the distance is not supposed to
be greater than one-half mile"

The PCme radio broadcast the
report Of the new Italian military

Radio Algiels broadcast a report
from Rome" that sensational
events equal in importance to the
fall of Mussolini are expected in
Italy within the next few days"
SMASHES HOPE
The steadily-mOunting number of
German divisions moving into
northern Italy was regarded in Al
gies as smashing the last waning
hope that Italy would surrender in
advance of an invasion. The re-
call of the 1906 class was taken as
a sign that the Badoglio govern
ment apparently has thrown its lot
Fundamentally with that of Ger
many
An italian frontier dispatch said
the Badoglio government was con-
tnuing its campaign to stamp out
the last yestiges of Fascism, how
ever, and had executed Vito Mus
solini, nephew of the deposed
premier, and Mario Appellius, one
of Mussolini's lest known radio

pia, Spain and Albania.
DUCE REPORTED SHOT
Unconfirmed reports heard on
the Italian frontier said Mussolini
himself had been shot in the
stomach during the stormy grand
