PSC Backs Greyhound
Ruling, Master Plan
Hearing Postponed

The Maryland Public Service
Commission today announced it has
reaffirmed an order giving Grey
hound Lines the exclusive franchise
along the boulevard between Wash
ington and Baltimore to pick up
and deliver passengers.
At the same time, the PSC an
nounced it has postponed sched-
uled hearing on petition of subur-
ban Prince Georges County citizens
seeking restoration of direct bus
service to downtown Washington on
Capital Transit Co. lines. The hear
ing which was to have been held
next Tuesday has been delayed until
1890 am. March 27.
The citizens seek abolishment of
the master plan which requires
bus changes at the Mt. Rainier
Terminal.
The order in the Greyhound case,
in effect, denies efforts of citizens,
the governing bodies of several in
corporated communities along the
Baltimore boulevard and county Of
ficials who sought to have Grey
hound passenger service between
Washington and Baltimore aug
mented by Safeway railways serv-
ice. Commissioner Thomas Elmo
Jones dissented from the majority
ruling.
Louis A. Arnold, attorney, sought
restoration of the, two-company
service which had been in effect by
an order of the former Office of
Defense Transportation during the
war When Greyhound regained its
exclusive franchise after the war
the PSC ordered it to improve serv-
ice. Citizens argued that no i'm
provements had been made and that
commuters are entitled to added
service from the second line.
Postponement of the Capital
Transit Co. case Is the result of a
request of Peoples Counsel Philip
H. Dorsey, jr., who "has a previous
professional engagement" the PSC
said.

We haven't been on the st.
Xavier road for about two
weeks. At that point we de-
cided we didn't have to 60 to
St. Xavier after all, and that
that road was no place to drive
for pleasure.
Since that time, we've been
hearing a good many means
from the poor, tortured souls
who do have to drive over it.
That particular highway serves
a large and fertile farming
area, and anyone who lives out
that way does have to come to
town occasionally.
We realize that the road has
always been a problem, and we
have heard the same COM
ments about it ever since we
came to Hardin. A while back
the county did hard surface a
part of it, but the oil has dis
appeared and the road is now
worse than ever.
Driving over the highway (?)
to st. Xavier is hard on tires,
nerves, muscles and joints. AS
a matter of fact we are firmly
convinced that regular trips
over it will not only make the
best of cars develop new and
fancy rattles, but if you drive
a car over it often enough, we
think the car IS just naturally
going to give up the ghost, all

Montdnd Flying
Formers to Meet
At Bozemdn in June

With a display of planes
ranging from the lightest type
for ranch and farm work up
through the U. S. Army air
forces A-26 and Psi, visitors
to the Montana Flying Farm
ers and Ranchers association
convention at Montana State
college June 20 and 81 are as
sured an unusual opportunity
to learn about most every type
Of plane, according to Guy
Riggin, of Harlem, association
president.
Word just received from the
headquarters Fourth air force
give positive assurance the A.
rs and Psi will be displayed
at the convention. The jet
plane requested will not be
here because none have been
assigned to this area and fl
nancial restrictions prevent any
being flown here from other
headquarters.
Everything is being done to
make the plane display an ed
ucational experience, Mr.. Rig
gin says. Each type of plane
will be displayed separately.
While being displayed an auth
GRITTY will discuss details of the
planes construction and its
adaptation to farm and ranch
work.
Another feature of the pro-
gram will be an inspection
tour of the agricultural work
being done by Montana State
college.
To give a more complete
picture the U. s. Forest service
and the Fish and Wild Life
service will send speakers to
describe how each organization
is using planes for the bene-
fit of agriculture and Montana.
Other items on the program
will include the new weather
reporting service for pilots, the
federal airport program in
Montana, the Montana aero
nautics commission and in
formation about hangers.
Farmers in Montana have

associations in nearby states.
At least one plane from Can
ada is assured and all neigh
boring states are expected to
send delegations with the ex-
ception of North Dakota which
is holding its own convention
on the same days.
Because the convention is
being held during the summer
quarter, arrangements have
been made to house visiting
flyers on the Montana State

banquet also will be held on
