The Military District of Washing
ton has ordered a postponement of
scheduled changes in two bus lines
routed through the Pentagon road
network until after survey, under
direction of the Public Roads Ad-
ministration, has been completed by

panies contend would add a total
of $50 miles daily to trips serving
not only the Federal buildings but

Following conferences with the
commandant and other officials of
the Military District of Washington,
the proposed rerouting away from
the south parking area and adding
total of more than two complete
circles and 86 of a mile to each bus
trip, was ordered postponed until
after a study by the PBA in connec-
ton with the Arlington utilities
group and the bus lines. The two
lines affected are the Alexandria,
Bancroft and Washington Bus Lines
and the Arlington g. Fairfax Motor
Transportation Co.
Mr.. Diehl said the State Corpora
ton Commission sent two represent
atives, H. E. Ketner and Paul O'Niel,
from Richmond, who supported the
commissions objections to the re-
routing order.
He said the bus lines would be put
to added cost without additional rev.
enue and the Arlington utilities
group sought to prevent increased
fares.
The PBA study was started yester-
day and the military district set
