High Court Expected
10 Rule Today on
Virginia Bus Fares

The Supreme Court was expected
to rule this afternoon on petitions
for rehearings of some points and
Qualification of others in the District
bus fare case.
J. Ninian Beall, attorney for the
Washington Virginia Maryland
Coach Co. (Arnold Lines), said all
the transit companies filed petitions
questioning not only the jurisdiction
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in the case, but the order OF
the ICC as well. Among the ques-
tons raised, he said, were these:
Whether the ICC could require
joint fares between the independent
Virginia companies and Capital
Transit Co.; whether the court in
tended the ICC to have permanent
jurisdiction over the fares between
Washington and Government in
stallations in nearby Virginia or
whether this jurisdiction arose from
the war emergency, and whether the
procedure followed was correct.
The last point was raised by the
Virginia Corporation Commission
which commended the matter should
have been handled at a joint hearing
of the District and Virginia rate
making bodies.
Meanwhile, the companies are
going ahead with plans for putting
the reduced rates into effect if their
petitions are denied.
Companies involved, in addition
to the Arnold Lines and Capital
Transit, are the Alexandria, Bar
croft & Washington Transit Co. and
the Arlington g. Fairfax Motor
Transportation Co.

MIA 10 Close
Two Virginia
Housing Centers'
Arlington, Alexandria
Officials Declare
Need Still Exists

Despite reports hundreds of civil
ians and service personnel are being
house each month through the Alex
andria and Arlington War Housing
Centers, these agencies will be
closed June 30 by the National
Housing Agency, it was learned to-
day.
Mrs. Ellen r. Harper, Metropoli-
tan Area manager, said the two
centers were being closed because
the housing saturation point has
been reached in both Alexandria
and Arlington. She said centers in
areas throughout the country where
the saturation point has been
reached are being closed to keep
within the agency's budget.
Both Miss Barbara Watkins, man.
ager Of the Alexandria center, and
Mrs. Sara E. Carl, Arlington center
manager, said, however, that the
centers have been buster during the
last few months than ever before.
Both agreed that a very great
need" for the centers still exist.
$1,000 Aided So Far.
Miss Watkins said that during the
first five months of this year the
center received Att applications for
dwellings and 1916 applications for
rooms. During this period, sci fam
lilies were placed in dwellings, and
rooms were found for 786. Since the
center was opened in 1941, she said.
900 families and individuals have
been housed.
Mrs. Carl said the Arlington CEN
ter received a monthly average Of
l 900 to $500 applications for rooms
and dwellings, and that 800 to 500
families and individuals were placed
each month.
Although MIA officials said the
centers could be continued by the
respective city and county govern
ments, neither Alexandria nor Ar.
lington will continue the centers.
Asked for Figures.
Alexandria City Manager Carl
Budwesky, stating that the city
would not operate the center, said
he was asked by MIA officials last
month for figures on the work OF
the center. He said that before this
information could reach MIA head
quarters he was informed by letter
that the center would close.
Frank c. Hanrahan, Arlington
County manager, said that while
he considered the center as having
done an excellent war job, he did
not look on it as a function Of
county government. He said no
plans were being considered to
maintain its operation.
Both centers were opened in 194l
as the Defense Homes Registry, with
rent paid by the city and county
and salaries by the Work Project,
Administration. In 1912, Nationa
Housing Agency took over the ex.
pense of salaries and the name wa.
changed.

Training Of Yontb
Is Big Necessity
WeibLe Declares
By Catherine x. HambIev

The War Departments views on
universal military training, the need
for further GENERALIZATION of &C
tivities connected with the Surgeon
Generals Office under that office
and plea for public patience with
national leaders were themes of
addresses by prominent personal
tiles yesterday at meeting of the
Postwar Committee, American Le-
gion Auxiliary, at the Mayfiower
Hotel.
Speaking from the military stand
point for the War Department., Maj.
Gen. Walter L. Weible, director
military training ASF, pointed out
the partial answer to preventing
wars is preparedness of the youth
through compulsory military train
ing, as proposed by War and Navy
Departments. He explained how
young men will receive years con-
tinued training under military con-
troll with as little interference with
the individuals private life as pos
Sible. The system should not be
confused with preWar experiments
such as CCC and NYA, the speaker
added. 1t would be flexible and
subject to change, according to cur
rent international relations. The
officer was emphatic in declaring
that the plan is only advocated by
the department until that day when
an international security organiza-
ton has been tried and proven as
an adequate implement for keeping
peace. The United States is not
looking for A fight, the director
commented, but the organization
Tor maintaining world security has
as yet not met its test and therefore
should not be counted on. Recalling
that America has been caught twice
unprepared, the general advised the
country to be mobilized to fight
extensively before an aggressor hits
first.
Mrs. Ernesta Barlow. representing
the Citizens Committee for Post
war Military Training, organized
in 30 States, declared that COM
pulsory military training was only
a stone in the bridge of maintaining
world peace, adding that the or
ganization was supporting reciprocal
trade treaties, Breton Woods and
other phases of international CO.
operation.
The morning session of the con-
vention was addressed by Morgan
