DSR Position Upheld
By Decision In Indiana
Judge Supports
Railways Plea

The DSR's position in its
fare raise row with the OPA
was strengthened today when
a federal judge in Indian
apolis held that the OPA may
not fix rates for a public
utility.
Judge Robert c. Baltzell issued
the ruling in denying an injunc-
ton against the indianapolis Rail-
ways, which recently increased itS
fares without notifying the OPA.
FIXED BY COMMISSION q
The Judge said the fares were
valid because they were 1xed By
the public service commission a.
Indiana, and held that the COM
pany had not violated the 1043
Sterilization Act.
Mayor Jeffries and DSR Off
Gals refused the OPA's request
that they delay increasing street.
car fares TO 10 cents, contending
that the OPA was without any
authority in the matter. The
raise went into effect Jan. !.
They agreed, however, to con-
slider any recommendations that
the OPA might make with regard
to the fare raise.
OPA STUDIES SITUATION !
The OPA is now making q
study of the .ituation and has
indicated it will have its recon-
mendations ready within q week
or 10 days. &.
The DSR setup differs from
the Indianapolis Railways in that
under the terms OF the Detroit
city charter, it is controlled solely
by the DSR commission, and II
not subject TO regulation by the
state public service board.
