Capital Transit Fights
-
PSC Right 10 Block
Increase in Fares
BY q s.aff cerr..p.od.n, Of n. s,e,

BALTIMORE, May 2o.-Attorneys
for the Capital Transit Co. today
challenged the Maryland Public
Service Commissions right to pre-
vent higher fares In Montgomery
and Prince Georges Counties unless
the utility offers bargain school
rates.
The question was argued before
Chief Judge w. Conwell Smith of
the Supreme Bench OF Baltimore.
The court case is the latest develop
ment in a battle begun last De-
cember. when Capital Transit an
nounced q schedule Of fare in
creases and applied for immediate
relief" on its Maryland operations.
The Public Service Commission
authorized general increases in both
counties, including the establish
ment Of zone system for Prince
Georges, but ruled that school chill
dren must be transported at special
ticket rates.
The new schedule permits the
elimination Of weekly passes on
Maryland buses and streetcars, al
lows Capital Transit to charge pas
sengers 5 cents for each 11a-mile
zone outside the District and speci-
fies that school tickets be offered
at the zone rate of for is cents
or at cents each.
The transit company took the
position that it had not been pro-
vided the immediate relief" re-
quested because of extended hear
ing for the PSC. 1t contended that
the proposed new tariff schedule
had been postponed the limit al
lowed by Maryland law and now has
become automatically effective.
The company said it would ignore
the PSC order to sell bargain school
tickets.
The Public Service Commission
then entered another order direct
ing Capital Transit to comply with
all terms of its ruling or make no
fare change.
The utility appealed to Judge
OlAlitI W ICcCl ALI CIlc COIlUIllSSlOkl
from enforcing the order. The court
temporarily restrained both sides
from any action and called for ar
guments before him today.
F. Gloyd Await, Daryl Myse and
Clarence w. Miles, Capital Transit
attorneys, declared that the bargain
rate for pupils would seriously cur
tail company revenues. In Mont
gomery, where there is currently
no special school rate, the effect
would be greatest, they said. Even
In Prince Georges, the lawyers as
serted, most children would ride for
less than under the schedule from
which the company sought relief.
s. Ralph Warnken, PSC counsel,
appeared in defense Of the State
orders.

BEHIND
HOME PLATE
BY DOUG STEWART

Just as l began writing this coll
umn received a telegram from
MI. Sterling advising me that Ben
nv Culp, who was with the Phila-
delphia Phillies for six years-four
years as player and two as a
coach-took over the management
of the Owls in Harrisburg on Tues
day. with Gene Crumling remain
ing with the team as the first string
catcher.
The telegram also stated that Cal
vim Ermer, an infielder sent in by
the Washington Senator'S farm
system, reported to the club on
Monday, as did Lewis Fauth, a
right-hand pitcher, and another pit
cher named Lawrence.
This should prove very conclus-
lively to the fans that Oren Sterling
is doing everything he can to
strengthen the ball club, and it looks
as if it is the break we've all been
waiting for.
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1948-07-01

And while I'm on the subject of
the Owls, l would like to offer my
sincere congratulations to Gene
Crumling for the fine job he has
done as manager of the club, since
he took over the helm following
the clubs unfortunate experience
with Rambert Gene worked hard
with the material he had, and |
don't believe anyone could have
done better under the circum-
stances.
am extremely glad that he is
staying on with the club as the
first string catcher, for in my book
he is without question the best
catcher in the league.
