PSC Will Reconsider
plea 10 Reinstate Bus
Line on Boulevard

The Maryland Public Service
Commission will reconsider argu-
ments by residents and communities
along the Baltimore boulevard to re-
instate local bus service by SafeWay
Trails along with the existing Grey
hound Lines franchise, it was an
nounced today.
Louis B. Arnold, corporation coun-
sci of University Park who presented
arguments at earlier hearings said
he had received PSC notification
another hearing will be held at 1890
am. February "a at commission Of
fees in Baltimore.
The PSC recently denied a petit
ton to reinstate Safeway Trails To-
cal service but ordered the Grey
hound Lines to improve service. Mr.
Arnold said this order, in itself, was
an admission by the State agency
that existing service is inadequate.
Recalling that during the war
years, 1912 to 1945 the Office Of De-
fense Transportation required both
bus companies to provide service on
a co-ordinated schedule, Mr.. Arnold
said it is the reinstatement of this
system that is being sought at pres
ent. In 1945, Greyhound regained
it's exclusive franchise along the
route, Mr.. Arnold said.
Every incorporated community
along the boulevard in Princes
Georges County, the Howard County
Board of Commissioners, several
persons in Baltimore and other civic
groups and residents along the
thoroughfare have joined in efforts
to re-establish the former service o1
the two lines, he said.
The PSC's last previous action was
on January % when it declined Mr.
Arnold's petition. The attorneys Pc
tition for a rehearing was filed Feb
ruary 6. Mr.. Arnold appealed tt
organizations and citizens depend.
ent upon adequate service from bott
lines to appear at the Baltimore
hearing.

Better Facilities in Alexandria
ForNeqro Askedin Social Survey

Ito fit Negroes into all job strata
A definite program should Abe car
ried out to work toward elimination
of discriminatory hiring practices;
the city government and agencies
concerned with public functions
should take the lead in this. Negroes
should be appointed as policemen
fremen, letter carriers, nurses, social
workers, city government clerks
probation officers and other posi-
tions "for which they apply and
qualify"
| Recreation: Recommendations of
the long range plan for recreation
calling for erection of swimming
pool and other much-needed facil-
ities) should be carried out as soor
as possible. A high school, with
facilities mentioned under education
should be erected Immediately.
Welfare and Social Organizations
An examination of existing organ
izations and their functions should
be made. A reorganization should
follow the study ITO attempt to
achieve the most usual results fol
the community as whole"
| Race Relations Committee OF
Council of Social Agencies: Per-
manent committee of white and
Negro members should be formed to
investigate, plan and act on all race
relations problems. Housing, edu-
cation, health, employment and
recreation problems should receive
special attention.
Population Estimates.
The report finds that estimates oi
the population vary. The Chamber
of Commerce estimates $4,000, with
II 900 or $4,000 Negroes. The Post
Office estimated $4,000 with 10 pei
cent Negroes. The 1910 United
States census found a population
of 33,523 of which 5,281 were
Negroes. It may be safely assumed
the report declares, that the Negro
proportion of the population has
declined since 1910.
The Negro worker is faced with
almost insurmountable difficulties
in his quest for economic security
according to the report, because
of the discrimination in hiring. Re.
garding exclusions, the report say.
one of the most obvious Is The
absence of all Negroes on all of the
boards and committees which
actually constitute the city govern.
ment. Negroes are included, how.
ever, by some groups which have
policy making or quaSi-makins
functions, it states.
No planned residential segrega'
ton "is apparent" according tt
the report. The slunns, which ar,
actually composed of tenements, art
owned for the most part by white
investors, the report finds. Poo
housing conditions are factors which
contribute to poor health and othel
undesirable conditions, it says.
Undesirable Conditions" Hit.
although neither riots, fights no
constant f1areups characterize th'
relationships between Negro ane
white individuals and groups il
Alexandria, the conditions undel
which Negroes live and the inter
racial situation are undesirable" th'
report declares.
The attitudes of white persons
toward Negroes and toward minorit!
situations are varied, the repor
states. Both knowledge and interes
in the situation Is lacking in mos
cases, it was said.
"One group 'disIikes Negroes ans
is openly antagonistic toward them
Still another large group is pater
nalistic, while a small but growini
group is aware of all the implica
tions in the racial situation and /
working to better it, the report de
clares.
