By the Associated rress,

6y the Associated FreS.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia argued successfully in the
Senate yesterday that when Gov
ernment-held land Is declared sur
plus the original owners should have
first opportunity of purchase at
reasonable price.
During discussion of the measure
for disposal of surplus Government
property, the Senator declared there
were a number of farms in Vir-
einia which had been purchased for
war purposes from persons who had
no desire to sell and that in many
instances the purchase price had
never been paid by the Government
because of delays in title clearance
technicalities. An amendment en-
bracing Senator Byrds proposal was
adopted.

Pour In From Outsiders
And District Residents

A promise that the Senate District
Committee viii give consideration
to proposals that Congress authorize
an appropriation for the purchase Of
the Villa Rosa mansion to perpetu-
ate the operation there Of tho
Children's Museum came yesterday
from Edward p. Terry, committee
clerk.
He said the committee had re-
ceived several dozen letters from
out Of Washington as well as from
local groups urging preservation Of
villa Rosa for this purpose The
property, once owned by the Dis
trict, has since been sold as a
building site.
Legislation Needed.
House and Senate appropriations
subcommittees handling the Dis
trict budget early this summer
considered pleas for funds but ruled
they were without jurisdiction since
Congress had not authorized pur-
chase for the museum.
One letter to the Senate District
Committee came from Lester E.
Commerford, president of the Wes-
ley Heights Community Club, who
declared, "Paternal and civic pride
must bitterly regret any necessity
for closing this museum"
Praised in Letters.
Another letter praising the mu.
scum came from Mrs. William
Bailey Lamar of Atlanta. who, as
a former owner of Villa Rosa, said
she had spent s225.00O for purchase
and improvement of the place and
its grounds and thought it too beau-
tiful building to be torn down.
Another praising the work and
value Of the museum came from
the secretary OF the North Carolina

Bus Fare Reduction
10 Virginia Offices
Sci Aside by Court
Three-Judse Tribunal
Rules lCC Lacks
Authority to Order Cut

A majority opinion of . 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 tn 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
. dissenting opinion held that the
ICC In its findings supports its con-
tentions that 1t does have authority
to order the reduction. Justice +.
Dickinson Let's was the third Judge
who heard the case.
ReafYlrms Earlier Ruling.
The ruling, in effect, reafIirmed a
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-
d1ction. 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.
eminent agency"
Questions Commission.
In referring to the ICC reafirmed
order of June. Justice Bailey said:
Although 1t Is rather dificult 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 it 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 issue include the Cap
ital Transit Co., Arlington Il Fairfax
Motor Transportation Co, the
Washington. Virginia q Maryland
Coach Co.. Inc, and the Alexandra,
Bancroft A Washington Transpor-
tation Co. The Virginia State Cor
poration Commission also contested
the ICC 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.

Four New Polio Cases
Raises D.. {. Total 10
II, Highest on Record
Fatalities, However,
Still at Low Figure;
Sister Kenny Coming

Four new cases Of infantile
paralysis reported to the Health
Department today raised the total
to n In the city since July L. to
break the all-time record estab-
lished in 194l, when there were rs
cases during the year.
The four cases raised the figure
for the Metropolitan Area to 124.
Recent totals for the Metropolitan
Area have been the highest on rec
ord. OF the 124 cases, n originated
in Washington and II in nearby
communities.
The disease appeared to be
spreading recently In Northeast
Washington, health department
ofncials pointed out. All four of
the new cases were from the North
east. They included q 19-year-old
man, . 9-year-old boy, and two
girls Of 3 and Z.
Sister Kenny Coming.
Meanwhile, according to infor-
nation Saching Health OfIicer
George c. Rutland, Sister Elizabeth
Kenny, founder of the so-called
Kenny method of treating paralysis
victims by the hot pack and muscle
manipulation system, is planning
to come to Washington soon. She
was to have arrived today, but her
trip was either delayed or post
poned because of difflculty with
travel priority.
The death rate in Washington has
been relatively low during the pres
ent outbreak, Dr. Rutland pointed
out today. So far only seven deaths
have been reported from the entire
Metropolitan Area, extending for
miles around Washington. He said
some of the cases have come from
as far away as Manassas, Va.
Still Calls 1t "Outbreak."
The prevalence of the disease
could be called an epidemic" only
in an academic sense, DR.. Rutland |
insisted, adding he preferred still to |
call 1t an outbreak" He again said
that no plans were being made to
recommend postponement of school
openings, closing of swimming pools,
or cancellation of public gatherings.
The Kenwood Golf and Country
Club, nevertheless, will close its
swimming pool tonight because of
the polio, instead of on Labor Day
as usual. it was learned today. This
follows the closing of the Columbia
Country Club pool, Columbia officials
said their action was due to short
age OF chlorine. Other pools were
considering early closing, it was in
dicated.
Schools will open on schedule in
Alexandria. Arlington County, Fair
lax County, Va, and in Prince
Georges and Montgomery Counties,
of1icials said.
