Big -Four May Settle
Over
Veto Power TODAY
Plan Statement TELLING
ExoeIy Whot YoIto
Vote Formula Means
BY GOULD LINCOLN,
Star Staff Correspondent.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 28.-
The vexing question of the Yalta
voting formula for the security
council of the United Nations
may be settled today by agree
ment OF the Big Four on an inter-
pretive statement. of Just what
the formula means, with particu-
lar reference to the veto power
granted the five permanent
members of the council.
This statement, designed to re-
assure small and medium nations
which have demanded that the
United Nations Conference modif,
the veto power, will undertake to:
l. State the procedural matters in
which the veto will not operate.
2. Make clear that discussion OF
international disputes may proceed
within the council without a veto.
3. Give the reasons why unanim-
ity OF action by the big powers-the
i've permanent members of the
council, the United States, Britain
Russia, China and Francis both
wise and essential in any action
looking to the use of armed forces,
sanctions or peaceful measures to
deal with any threat of war.
Main Point at Issue.
Debate has centered about de-
mand that the veto right of the
great powers should at least not ap-
ply to a council decision to 'inyes-
tigate" an international dispute.
The Forthcoming interpretive
statement. it is learned, will state
positively that no formal investiga-
ton shall be undertaken by the
council without the unanimous vote
of the five permanent members, plus
two affirmative votes of non-per-
manent members of the l1-member
council.
However, in reference to the right
of the council to discuss" disputes
which may be called to its attention,
the statement may indicate that
some kind of informal inquiry, re-
sulting only in a statement of facts
and conditions from parties con-
cerned or from some designated per-
son representing the council, may be
in order. 1t is in this realm of
discussion that any so-called
"softening" of the veto power will
lie.

.SupremeC Court
.Upho|ds | Fare
10 Pentagon
Rules lCC Within
Its Authority in
Reducing Rates

The Supreme Court held TODAY
that the Interstate Commerce
Commission had authority to
order reduced bus fares between
the District and four Federal
buildings in nearby Virginia, in
cluding the Pentagon.
The 1CC order provided for 10
cent cash fares or ga cent token
fares between the District and the
Pentagon area.
Under present operations passen-
gers pay the 10-cent cash or Sh-
cent token fare to the transfer1point
at Nineteenth and c streets, and
an additional cents cash for the
trip across the river and into Ar
lington County. The decision makes
transfers, at no additional cost, valid
for the latter part of the trip.
Joint Fare Decision.
The court also held the commits.
sion was within its right in order.
ing joint fares and transfer privi-
leges be established between the
Capital Transit and the Alexandria
Bancroft and Washington Transit
Co. and the Arlington and Fairfax
Motor Transportation Co.
The decision was read by Justice
Black, who based the commissions
authority on the requirements Of
the national transportation policy
as defined by the Motor Carrier Act.
Justice Roberts dissented from the
courts holding that the commission
had authority over the rate case.
Reed and Douglas Dissent.
Justices Reed and Douglas dis
sented on the question of joint fares.
The case reached the Supreme
Court on an appeal by the Govern
ment after the carriers had been
successful in their fight to set aside
the commission order in District
Court hearing.
In disposing of the carriers ar
gument that the commission had no
rights in the case, Justice Black
said the ICC power must be tested
by the provisions Of the Motor Car
rier Act. He recalled the lines had
argued that the commission had no
jurisdiction because the transpor-
tation involved was all within "a
commercial zone" exempt from the
Motor Carrier Act.
Application Of Acts
Conceding this commercial zone"
section does limit the commissions
jurisdiction, Justice Black pointed
out that the law, however, author
ICES the commission to apply the
acts to zone activities IF it finds
that Q) such application is neces-
sary' to carry out the national trans
portation policy declared in the act,
or (2) if the carrier is not engaged
in intrastate transportation
of passengers over the entire length
of such interstate route"
He continued:
The commission held that the
four bus companies came within
both these exceptions and therefore
were not excluded from its jurisdic-
ton. We need not consider whether
they came within the second excep-
| ton, because of our conclusion that
the commissions findings justified
its order under the first exception.
These findings were that it was
necessary for the commission to ex-
ercise its jurisdiction in order to
carry out the acts declared policy
to encourage the establishment and
maintenance Of reasonable charges
for transportation services without
unjust Determinations F.. ="
