On Nine Virginia BusIines
By the Associoted Press

RICHMOND, Va. Aug. 21.-A
general upward revision in fares
charged by nine bus companies op-
Grating over widespread areas OF
Virginia has been authorized by the
State Corporation Commission.
At the close of 3-hour hearing
yesterday Chairman H. Lester
Hooker announced the bus compa-
MES plea would be granted. Earlier
the motor carriers had cited rising
expenses and falling revenues in JUS
tification for rate boosts which they
said would equalize tariffs over most
OF the State.
Oscar L. Shewmake, representing
Greyhound bus operations, said in
no case would the proposed fares
60 above 2 cents per mile.
Typical increases proposed would
be from SITS to 50 for the Rich
mond- -Clarksville trip, from $2.15
to s2.35 from Richmond to Danville,
and from $130 to 's1.45 from Rich
mond to South Hill.
Bus companies joining in the petit
ton to the sec. in addition to the
Atlantic and Capitol Greyhound
Lines, were the Colonial Bus Lines,
James River Bus Lines, Virginia
Stage Lines, Consolidated Bug Lines,
Carolina Coach Co. of Virginia,
Murphy Bus Co., and Bristol Norton

Violating Zone Rule

The owner of a two-family house
in single e-dwelling zone in Alexan-
dria today will be ordered to con-
form to restrictions, Building In
spector A. r. Lash said.
The house is located at Windsor
avenue and Russell road and is
owned by A. F. Campbell. who lives
nearby. Mr. Lash said an inspection
yesterday prompted by complaints
of neighbors, revealed two kitchen
sinks were in the house which, ac-
cording to the building code, lis
prima facie evidence that it Is a

Mr.. Lash said, however, the house
now is occupied by one family.
The building inspector said Mr.
Campbell would be notified today
to remove the extra sink to conform
with the single-family restriction
in the area. He said he did not con-
template further action unless the
proprietor refused to dismantle the
extra sink.
Neighbors said they observed an
excessive number of chimneys on
the roof.
Mr.. Campbell, chairman of the
Alexandria Democratic Committee,
said the extra sink had been in
stalled as q convenience and that
1t would be removed to comply with
the building inspectors order.

Veteran Wins Paralysis Fight,
Becomes Endurance Swimmer

It takes a champion-one man in
a thousand-to swim two and half
hours without stopping. What word
can you find for the man who does
it with one arm hanging limp from
his side?
Ted Gomolak was just an average
swimmer when he went to school
back in Clarion, Pa, in the Pitts
burgh steel mill section. Football
was his sport. He had a brother
in-law who was an all-America at
the University of North Carolina and
later joined the coaching staff. Ted
who weighed 205, had visions o1
keeping up the family tradition.
But the war, INTERVIEWED and Tee

Paraiyzed by Injury.
For four or five months. Ted was
completely paralyzed, as the result
of a brain injury, and too seriously
wounded to be returned to the
United States. At last he was brought
to Walter Reed. The best surgeons
in the Army had been given a
chance to help him; at Walter Reed
began the slow job of re-educating
muscles dulled by disuse.
Swimming is often the best ex-
fercise doctors can find for people
like Ted. When he first came to
the pool, he couldn't walk from the

BY last December, he could swim
the length of the pool-120 feet.
Gradually he gained better control
of both legs and full use of his right
arm.
Today, Ted walks to the waters
edge, unaided, slips into the pool,
and with his good arm and his two
good legs begins to swim its length.
For one lap, he uses a converted
crawl stroke; then he switches to
the backstroke. Back and forth he
gees-35 laps in two hours.
Topped BY Few.
How many men could do that?
Lambert (Pat) Redd, who directs
the swimming instruction of Walter
Reed patients, believes only three of
the 1000 swimmers he's seen in the
Walter Reed pool since he took his
present post could swim that long
without stopping they're train
ing for the Smile Presidents Cup
race on the Potomac. Very few, he
thinks, could even equal Ted's dis
tance record of nearly mile.
I've seen plenty of all-Americans,
but this boy tops them all says
Mr.. Redd. Hes done it all on quits.
It's hard to believe"
Ted Gomolak will never play foot

Better Supply Of Teachers
Slated for Virginia Schools
Bv the A,.oeio,ed p,...

RICHMOND. Va, Aug. 2l.-An
improved supply of teachers for the
Virginia school system this fall was
indicated yesterday by G. Tyler Mil
Ter, State superintendent OF public
instruction.
Early estimates are that some
$500 teachers lacking full qualifi-
cations for a teaching certificate will
be in Virginia class rooms next
month. This would compare with
5000 teachers employed on emer-
gency licenses in the 1s46-47 school
year.
Mr. Miller said the teacher Short
age remains a serious problem for
many of the localities. At a recent
convention of educators in Roanoke,
about half of the States 110 super
intendents reported their supply of
teachers was better than last year.
The superintendent said he has no
figures as yet which would indicate
whether sharp increases in teacher
salaries during the past year are
leading to greater enrolment in
State colleges in education courses,
