Witness LIST Indicates Capital Transit Fares
Jury Is Probing Police To Go Up June 6 on
Effort 10 Curb Betting Lines in Maryland

Fare increases on the Capital
Transit Co.'S bus and streetcar lines
in Prince Georges and Montgomery
Counties will become effective June
6, it was announced today.
Complying with the order of a
Baltimore court, the company said
it would file a new tariff schedule
providing for straight five-cent cash
fares in each 1h-mile zone outside
the District. School children will be
transported at ticket rate OF
3 cents per zone.
The company said, however, that
it would appeal the requirement for
the special school rate, hoping that
the Maryland Court of Appeals will
permit it to charge every passenger
5 cents.
Losses Still Claimed.
In an opinion handed down last
week, Chief Judge w. Conwell Smith
of the Baltimore Circuit Court up
held the Maryland Public Service
Commissions order for bargain
school fares when granting the gen.
eral increase.
The company maintains that the
s. cent straight zone rate for all
passengers. which it originally pro-
posed, would still result in a loss of
approximately $4,000 on Maryland
operations. 1t says the special con-
cession to pupils will cause greater
losses.
Weekly Passes Eliminated.
Under the PSC decision, Capital
Transit is permitted to eliminate
weekly passes on the Maryland lines.
The company stated that unused
Maryland fare or communication
tickets not valid after June will be
redeemed at pro-rata value at COM
pany Offices, or prepaid envelopes
may be obtained from the operator
or terminal inspectors for redemp-
ton by mail.
Fare tickets now sold 20 for 81 will
be good until used Each such
ticket will be good only for a ride
within the new zone limits.

Real Estate Trial CHI Contracts
Recesses; US. Raise Payments
May Rest Case To II Hospitals
Rates for Subscribers
To Be Increased to
Meet Added Cost
By George Beyeridoe

Group disqualification, Inc, has
submitted new 1948 contracts to II
Washington area hospitals, provid-
ing increased payments based on
recent cost survey of the institu-
tions, it was learned today.
The increased expenses will have
to be passed on to subscribers of the
plan this year, but the rates of in
crease have not been finally decided,
CHI officials explained.
The officials said four hospitals
Providence, Emergency, Doctors and
Arlington-already have signed and
returned the contracts. Only one
Of the other hospitals so far has
indicated the proposed agreement
is not satisfactory, they said.
The exception, it was learned, is
Garfield, which yesterday sent a
letter to CHI, suggesting 'reword-
ing some of the phrases" The ac-
ton was decided at meeting Tues
day of the Garfield Board of Trus-
tees.
Other Payments at Issue.
A. B. Cook, Garfield admins
traitor, said the board went over
the contract very carefully" The
board, he said, feels there should
be some additional payment to keep
up with increased hospital costs.
William r. Castle, chairman of
the board and head of the Hospital
Council of the National Capital
Area, said he did not want to COM
ment on suggestions in the letter
before CHI officials had a chance
to receive them.
The new agreement, CHI said,
was drawn up after costs of each
hospital were surveyed by an audit
ing firm. The payments are to
be based on costs of each hospital
(plus $1.25 a day. as found by the
survey, or normal charges of each
hospital, whichever is lower. A
ceiling OF Sl4.02 per patient day
average cost of the participating
hospitals as determined by the sur
vey-ls contained in the agreement
Officials said the proposed ceiling
for Georgetown and George Wash
ington Hospitals was set at SIS in
stead of S1402 because the institu-
tions are new The two hospitals
would revert to the same status as
others after a year.
New Survey Provided.
The contracts also provide that
rate changes may be made after
six months, based on a new cost
survey.
At the same time, CHI disclosed
that last week it paid hospitals
S125, 900 to make up losses suffered
during the last few months of 1947
because of increased costs. In all,
CHI paid total of $195,000 for such
1947 adjustments, officials said.
While hospital officials questioned
ABOUT the new agreement pointed
out that the cost survey does not
represent up-to- -the-minute expenses
of the institutions, they generally
expressed satisfaction.
To Providence, the new contract
will mean an increase of $l62 per
patient-day for CHI patients ad-
mitted, officials said. The rate, they
said, will bring payments up to
s11.61. Actual costs, they said, are
$3.50 per day.
John Anderson, administrator of
Arlington Hospital, said the new
agreement represents progressive
step" which will mean about S1.50
additional per patient-day for the
hospital The institution now is
conducting an $4,000 drive for
funds in Arlington.

GROUP SAYS AMA'S SIS
LEVY ON MEMBERS
VIOLATES CONSTITUTION

NEW YORK = amp - The
leving of % percent each on
its members to raise a 1000, 900
fund to fight health insurance
legislation, by the American Me-
dical association. was termed a
violation of its own constitution
and possibly the constitution Of
the United States" by the board
Of directors OF the Physicians
forum here last week.
The directors charged that the
AMA's action in compelling its
members to finance a fight against
specific piece of legislation"
amounts to using the whip it
holds over thousands of American
doctors who favor that legisla-
ton"
For most physicians are de-
pendent upon their membership in
the ANA for hospital connections
and they can be impeded, in many
other ways. in their practice of
medicine if they lose their ANA
membership" the board said. This
is especially true of Negroes in
the North who have membership
with ANA.

is American is now in effect in
Europe. They are tired of not
knowing when they may have to

He also noted that SO percent

Most of them, he said, are willing
