Bus Fare Reduction
10 Virginia Offices
Set Aside by Court
Three-Judge Tribunal
/ Rules ice Locks
Authority to Order Cut

A majority opinion of q three
judge tribunal Of District Court
late yesterday held that an order Of
the Interstate Commerce Commis.
sion to reduce bus fares to Govern
ment buildings in nearby Virginia
should be set aside and Its enforce
ment permanently enjoined."
District Justice Jennings Bailey,
who wrote the opinion, held that
facts found by the commission do
not support its conclusion that its
taking jurisdiction Is necessary to
the national transportation system"
Justice Thurman Arnold of the
United States Court of Appeals in
a dissenting opinion held that the
1CC in its findings supports its con-
tentions that 1t does have authority
to order the reduction. Justice r.
Dickinson Let's was the third Judge
who heard the case.
Reaflrms Earlier Ruling.
The ruling. In effect, reanirmed q
former three-judge tribunal ruling
OF District Court last May which
set aside an ICC fare reduction
order. At that time the tribunal
held the court was of the opinion
the commission had no Jurisdiction,
unless 1t be necessary to carry out
the national transportation policy"
and that the ICC had made no such
findings.
Following the court order of last
May, the ICC on June IL reaffirmed
its order to reduce the fares and
sought to prove it did have juris-
diction. It was this reafIirmed order
which yesterdays court opinion set
aside.
Regarding an ICC contention as
to the importance of transportation
to the Pentagon Building. Justice
Bailey In his opinion yesterday said:
Congress has not provided that the
commission could take jurisdiction
merely because of the Importance
Of transportation to or from a Gov
ernment agency"
Questions Commission.
In referring to the 1CC reafirmed
order of June, Justice Bailey said:
Although 1t is rather difiicult to
understand the conduct Of the COM
mission in undertaking to put into
effect an order this court had en-
Joined, We have nevertheless taken
into consideration the new report of
the commission and the evidence
upon which 1t is based" He as
serted that "as to the new evidence
and findings of fact on which the
commission undertakes to conclude
that it has jurisdiction because it
is necessary to carry out the ma
tional transportation policy the
commission bases its conclusions
chiefly on the finding that the en-
ployes Of the Pentagon Building are
dissatisfied with the fares charged
by the carriers and the importance
OF the work carried on at the
Pentagon."
The transportation companies con.
cerned In the Bsue include the Cap
ital Transit Co., Arlington ds Fairfax
Motor Transportation Co., the
Washington. Virginia g. Maryland
Coach Co., Inc, and the alexandria,
Bancroft 81 Washington Transpor-
tation Co. The Virginia State Cor
poration Commission also contested
the 1CC order.
The ICC order to reduce the fares,
II put into effect, would have re-
duced fares for many commuters
from one and a third to five cents
for the trip from the District to the
Virginia Federal buildings. For some
riders, however, the ICC order would
have meant a slight increase.
