Arlington Riders, PUG
Protest Increase Of
Arnold Bus Fares

An Interstate Commerce Com
mission examiners recommendation
that Arnold line bus fare be in
creased was criticized in briefs
prepared for filing today with the
ICC by the Arlington Bus Riders
Association and the Arlington Public
Utilities Commission.
The proposed increase for the
first, or nearby Arlington, zone
would mean "a minimum of $3.50 900
more a year in the company's
treasury at the expense of the bus
riders without the stockholders put
ting up any more money" Francis
j. Ortman, association president
said.
He said the examiner was in
error when he assumed an average
trip of 9 miles for the 23,100 first
zone passengers. The majority of
first zone passengers will travel S
miles or less. Mr.. Ortman said.
IF the increase is approved it
would mean the majority of first
zone passengers would pay from 2
to 7 cents a mile for bus service" !"
he declared.
The examiner last month recon-
mended that all 10-cent interstate
cash fares be increased to Is cents
and that an increase from 20 to
Is cents be put in effect in the
fourth zone. For the first zone he
recommended tokens, selling two for
25 cents, be used.
The Arlington PUG is understood
to be basing its protest on the pro-
posed increase on the grounds that
the examiner had insufficient time
to examine testimony against the
suggested new rates.
The deadline for filing both ex-
ceptions is midnight tonight. Both
Mr.. Ortman and the Arlington PUG
said they would file their excep-
tions later today.
The Washington, Virginia &
Maryland Coach Co.. which oper-
ates the Arnold line, has 10 days
in which to file an answer to the
exceptions. After that the case will
be taken under advisement by the
ICC for a decision.

Assai|ant SIugs
Manager,FIees
WithoufLoot
WouId-Be Bundit
Believed to Be Mon
Who Struck Grocer

A 68-year-old branch laundry
manager was slugged today
during an apparent attempted
holdup and police believed his
assailant might have been the
one who attacked and robbed
the owner Of a District Grocery
Store yesterday.
Today's victim was william w.
Koontz of Clinton, Md, manager Of
the Washington Laundry branch Of
fee at 201 K street NV. His as
sailant fled without robbing him.
Mr.. Koontz told police eolored
man of neat appearance came into
the laundry about $50 am. with a
pair of brown pants he said he
wanted to have cleaned. He gave
Mr.. Koontz the name of James
Morris.
Had Rock in Sock.
As Mr.. Koontz leaned over the
counter to write out the receipt, he
told police. the customer" struck
him in the back of the head with a
3-inch rock in a sock. Mr.. Koontz
said things went black" but he was
not knocked unconscious.
Something apparently alarmed the
attacker, police said, before he could
rob the store.
Mr.. Koontz staggered to the door
and called for help. A passerby
notified police and Mr. Koontz was
taken to sibley Hospital. He was
treated for scalp cuts and released.
The method of attack led police
to describe the assailant as a good
suspect" in the attack-robbery of
Louis H Friedman, SIS, who was
slugged and critically injured in his
DGS store at So D street Sc. yes
terday.
Circumstances Similar.
1t. jeremiah F1aherty, head of
the homicide squad, said he had
learned from Mr.. Friedman that
when the blow was struck, the
grocery owner was bending over the
counter.
Mr.. Friedman apparently did not
see the man or men who slugged
him, police said.
Mr.. Friedman is still in critical
condition at Casualty Hospital to-
day with a double skull fracture
and possible brain hemorrhage. His
wallet and about S100 from the cash
register were stolen by the as
sailant.
1t. Flaherty said Mr.. Friedman
was able to give police some in
formation about the attack, but his
condition prohibited any extensive
questioning Mr.. Friedman said
three colored men had been IN the
store shortly before the attack oc-
Cured. but had gone out again. ac-
cording to 1t Flaherty.
Police Check Customers.
Police were canvassing the neigh
borhood In an effort to locate all
persons who were in the store from
7:20 am, when Mr.. Friedman called
his daughter, Ann, 20, to arouse her
to go to work, and 8 am. when
customer found him semi conscious,
kneeling behind the store counter.
One person who was in the store
about II minutes before the attack
has been located. police said. Mr..
Friedman was all right at that time
so the attack must have occurred in
the short interval until 8 am, &C
cording to police.
Mr. Friedman had been operating
the store for only four months, his
family said. Prior to that he owned
another store and also worked for
the Hamilton Liquor Store, Twenty
second and N streets NE, for about
nine years.

eran firemen that Capt. William v.
James used good judgment at the
time of an explosion in the base
ment of No. 18 Engine House on
July II was presented today as a
Fire Department Trial Board re-
sumed its hearings on suspension
charges against the captain.
The defense witnesses at the
morning session were Battalion
Chief Fred Littern and Capts.
Walter A. Weber and N. Bruce VIII
son. All have more than 20 years
experience.
The explosion occurred when fire.
men were using a mixture of gaso-
line and oil to clean and condition
boiler. -Four f1remen were in
jured. Capt James was suspended
after the blast occurred.
Battalion Chief Littern, a vet
eran of 26 years, told the board
that he would have done the same
thing because SO per cent of the fire
men would never expect anything
like that (the explosion) to hap
pen," and that he did not think
Capt. James guilty of the suspen.
sion charges.
Capt James, he said, "is one o1
the few good men we have in the
Fire Department-an excellent Of
ficer, far above the average"
Chief Littern said it was "com-
mon practice" in the department
to use mixture of gasoline and oil
as boiler preservative. Vapors
from the gasoline are believed te
have exploded on contact with fire
in a nearby hot-water heater. Chie1
Littern said that door and win.
dow in the basement should have
provided sufficient ventilation te
carry away the vapors.
