Slated for Early Start Transfer Privileges

The Interstate Commerce Com
mission was asked by the War De-
partment today to keep in force
transfer privileges between the Cap
ital Transit Co. and two Virginia
bus lines for commuters between
Washington and Government build
ings in Arlington.
The Virginia companies involved
are Alexandria, Bancroft & Wash

Pentagor, workers are among
those affected by the arrangement.
Early this year Capital Transit
Co. discontinued its bus service tt
Virginia, but joint fare, providing
for transfer from the Washington
company to the two Virginia lines
was kept in effect by 1CC order.
Meanwhile, the two Virginia com.
panies have renewed the proceeding
to cancel the transfer arrangement
They contend the Capital Transit
Co. is demanding a larger share OF
the transfer rate, which would make
the operation improbable for the
Virginia lines.
A brief filed today by Maj. Gen
Thomas H. Green, Army judge ad-
vocate general, on behalf Of the Sec
rotary of War, asserted that "at best
the facts alleged in the petitions
indicate dispute as to the division
of the through fare"
Gen. Green suggested that any
proceeding in the matter might well
be confined to the dispute over the
division of the joint fares between
the companies.
He asked at the same time that
petitions for cancellation of transfer
privileges be dismissed.
