Parents Ask HEARINGS
On NONRESIDENT Fee
Levy in D. {. Schools

Nineteen Bethesda Chevy Chase
area parents whose children attend
Wilson High School have joined a
group of Silver Spring parents
whose children attend Coolidge High
in asking the District Commission
ers to hold a hearing on the ques-
ton Of payment of nonresident tut
ton fees.
One of the Bethesda parents, Leo
Smilow, 4317 Kentbury drive, said
the District Appropriations Act ex-
empted from tuition pupils enrolled
in Washington schools prior to July
Is, the date of its enactment.
Since his son enrolled in Wilson
High July 9 and the children of
the Is other parents in his area
also we're enrolled before July Is,
Mr.. Smilow said, he does not believe
they are subject to tuition fees.
Cites Principals Letter.
Last August 30, according to Mr..
Smilow, he received letter from
Thomas J. Holmes, Wilson High
principal. The letter said, in part:
students who attended the pub
lie schools of the District during
the last school year or who on or
before July Is, 1947, were enrolled
to attend such schools beginning in
September, 1947, may attend Dis
trict public schools this year with
out paying tuition provided they
were entitled to receive free tuition
under the existing law before July
25, 1947. According to our records,
your child enrolled in this school on
July s,i1947"t.
About three weeks laterJ Mr..
Smilow said, he received another
letter from Mr.. Holmes, in which
the principal said:
"Your child is being enrolled with
the understanding that the decision
as to whether or not tuition pay
ments will be required has not been
reached, and that the enrolment
of your child is subject to the pro-
vision in the District Appropriations
Act for the fiscal year 1948 requir-
ing tuition payments by certain
nonresident pupils
Too Late for Transfer.
BY that time, Mr.. Smilow ex-
planned, it was too late to transfer
his son back to Maryland school
and he let him remain in Wilson
High, hoping that the decision re-
ferred to in the second letter would
be favorable"
Last Saturday, however, Mr..
Smilow said, he received a bill for
$9104 covering a half-year's tut
ton.
He added that the parents af-
fected are organizing to fight the
unjust and obviously retroactive ap-
plication Of the law by District au-
thorities."

Ito. Abolish 10c Fare,
|CurtaiI Use Of Tokens

Abolition of 10-cent fares was
proposed today by the Alexandria,
Bancroft and Washington Transit
Co. in a notice filed with the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
The notice also called for aban-
donment of the use of tokens in
all but the present 10-cent zone,
IN which the cash fare would be
Is cents.
The change, which would become
effective February IA. would result
in higher rates for practically all
regular riders. The lines 179 buses
serve Alexandria, southern parts of
Arlington County and some sections
of Fairfax County.
Under the proposal, tokens which
now sell eight for 81 could be used
only in the present 10-cent zone.
Losses Are Cited.
In other zones, with the tokens
eliminated, customers would pay the
present cash fare rates. The COM
pany emphasized that it was not
asking for any increase on these
fares.
B. c. May, general manager, said
A. B. g. w. was forced to take the
action because revenues in the first
II months of 1947 we're $436, ,341 less
than the corresponding period In
1916, while company operating ex-
penses increased $98,916. He said
the company not only failed to earn
anything on its investment but also
lost $4,000 in the first II months OF
last year.
Mr.. May said the estimated De-
cember deficit was an additional
$4,000, bringing the total 1947 loss
to $4,000. The bulk of the loss oc-
CURED in the last six months, he
said.
Tickets Would Be Dropped.
Even with the revision, Mr.. May
said, it is doubtful that A. B. & w.
will operate in the black this year.
He declared the company has ef-
fected all possible economies within
the past year and that unless the
tokens can be eliminated, Service
and equipment will deteriorate."
Another A. B. & w. petition pend
ing before the ICC would eliminate
existing reduced fare tickets be-
tween the District and Government
establishments in Virginia, such as
the Pentagon. This petition re-
quests authority for restoration Of
the 10-cent rate in effect before
July, 1945.
Mr.. May said the company's
financial position had been "aggra-
waited" by several factors. He men
toned application to the entire year
of 1947 of the per cent hourly wage
increase for employees which went
into effect in July, an increase of 2
cents a gallon for gasoline, adding
$36, 900 annually to operating costs,
and steadily rising costs for repair
parts.
Furthermore, the manager said,
the company anticipates fewer pas
sengers on its lines this year.
Mr.. May said this was the first
upward fare revision for A. B. & w.
since 1880, while many transit COM
panies have raised rates once and
some have sought second INCREASES.

Safeway Bus Line
Loses Appeal on D. t..
To Baltimore Service
BY the Assoeioted Press

| ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 15-Washing
tom Baltimore bus service furnished
by the Greyhound Lines will con-
tinue without competition from
Safeway Trails, Inc.,, the Court of
Appeals ruled yesterday.
The court held it could not sub
stitute its Judgment for that of the
Public Service Commission. The
commission decided Greyhound
service was adequate. ...-
The case arose from two actions
before the commission. In the first,
Safeway. which had shared local
passenger service with Greyhound
for a period during the war, asked
the commission to continue that
service.
In the second, George B. Quigley,
an Anne Arundel County resident,
asked on behalf of many residents
of the area that Safeway be given
the privilege of furnishing service
along with Greyhound.
At the commission hearings
many persons testified Greyhound
service was inconvenient, that driv-
!ers were discourteous and passed UP
passengers who waited in bad
weather.
The commission found that the
service was adequate" but it also
ordered Greyhound to correct the
below-standard service reported.
Writing the opinion of the court
Judge Stephen Collins said, ut is
the duty of the Public Service Com
mission in determining what is
necessary and convenient for the
public service to consider the gen.
eral public as a whole rather than
the accommodations of a locality
'"The commission evidently has
found that the public as a whole
would be harmed rather than bene-
fitted by allowing Safeway to COM
pete with Greyhound on the route
requested. There is not basis for
us to say otherwise"
