Steamship Group Hits
Proposed Bay Bridge
As Navigation Hazard
BY The Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Aug. Ala steam
ship association has denounced the
proposed bridge across the Chesa-
peake Bay as q hazard to naviga-
ton"
Stevenson Mason, vice president
and general counsel of the Steam
ship Trade Association, told the
State Roads Commission yesterday
that: -
1. The bridge would permit a nav
igable channel only $500 feet wide.
# ship by error tried to pass I'M
der the bridge at the wrong spot, 1t
could cut the suspension cables,
sending the bridge into the water.
2. The present bridge plans were
not, the same as those the United
States engineers had approved.
3. The estimates Of the bridge
cost had been lowered to make 1t
the logical choice over construction
of a tunnel.
Public Hearing Denied.
The charges were made to the
commission after the association
was denied public hearing before
the road officials.
Chester F. Hockey, chairman of
the Maryland Highway Advisory
Council, said today the Council and
State Roads Commission will hold
a closed meeting Monday to con-
slider I'm detail the complaints of
the steamship trade association.
Mr.. Mason said that because Of
the changes to the bridge plans, the
association has requested Secretary
Of the Army Royal to rescind the
Army permit for construction of the
bridge.
Robert M. Reindollar, chairman Of
the Roads Commission, said the as.
ISOLATION had been assured that full
consideration would be given to thu
points made in its presentation.
When asked about the changes tc
the plans mentioned by Mr.. Mason
Col. w. w. Wanamaker, district en-
gineer, said there had been a few
minor changes, but they were i'm
provements for navigation" and
constituted nothing major or in any
way hindrance to navigation.
Argues for Tunnel.
Mr.. Mason told the Roads Com
mission it was shame that "a mis-
cradle 100000 difference in favor
Of a bridge rather than a tunnel
should stand in the way If a bust
ness bringing in excess of $500 900, :
600 to the people of Maryland and
Baltimore q year"
Mr.. Mason said the claim that
the bridge could be built in 10
months less time than the tunnel
was ridiculous"
Neither one will be finished with
In five years." he said, because OF
the steel shortage.

Fare Fight Seen
AsAir|ine BaIks
al 1OPct. Boost
American Refuses
To Go Along With
U. S.-Approved Plan

Refusal Of American Airlines TO go
along with acknowledgement
plan to boost extra service plane
fares by 10 per cent threatened to-
day to set of an airline rate battle.
G. r. Smith, head of American.
said his line was not in favor OF the
increase and had no intention Of
entering into such an agreement.
The Civil Aeronautics Board was
under the impression that American,
along with the Is other trunk air
lines. had approved the increase.
Mr.. Smith said "it is our firm
belief any general fare increase be-
yond the level of 6 cents q mile will
place our fare structure in the area
OF diminishing returns"
Seen as Challenge to CAB.
In effect, he was challenging the
CAB to force the boost which it has
power to do.
The present basic airline fare is
about SIS cents a mile. -Four of the
Big Five lines-American. United,
TWA and EaStern-now charge an
additional 10 per cent for DC-6 and
Constellation service. The nth line,
Northwest, uses neither type of
plane. United and TWA have asked
for scent basic fare with a con-
tlnuation Of the 10 per cent sur
charge but American is unwilling to
go beyond the basic rate increase.
A major factor in the competitive
situation appears to be the fact
that American operates q twin
engine postwar plane, the Convair-
liner, which equals the deg in
speed and is pressurized. Convair
passengers now ride at lower fares
than DEG passengers and Ameri-
can now is seeking, therefore, to
charge the same rate for both
planes.
ROund-Trip Rates.
Another move in the rate night
came in an announcement by
United that it will offer S per
cent reduction for round-trip tickets
when it raises its basic rates. Only
Northwest now offers the round
trip rate.
Meanwhile, the Air Coach Associ-
alton, composed of three non-sched-
uled airlines, entered the argument
with a statement that the big lines
fares already ARE so high that only
wealthy travellers, or persons travel
ing on expense accounts, can afford
to fly"
The statement added that the big
lines have been making up losses
by receiving huge Government sub
sides, mostly in the form of airmail
pay. This means that when a
wealthy movie star travels from Los
Angeles to New York and receives
steak dinner en- route, her meal
is being paid for by the American

Rent Increase
Mayor Coming Says
Council Is Against
Boost as 'InfIotionury'

Mayor Thomas ]. Canning OF
Greenbelt, Md, says he and mem
bers Of the Town Council are "ve-
hemently opposed" to a rent in
crease in the Government-own
development and that such an in
crease would be "infiationary."
In statement issued last night,
Mayor Canning reported the Public
Housing Administration is 'tin the
black" at present rents.
PHA officials. in response to this
contention. agree that operating ex-
penses are being met, but point out
that this Is only half the story.
Government money used to build
the project-and it was expensive
to builds earning no interest and
is not being paid back into the
Treasury, they explain.
Rents Extremely Low"
Thus, rents are extremely low"
in comparison to privately operated
developments, even without taking
into consideration the admitted ad-
vantages Greenbelt residents have
In the way of recreationnal facilities,
such as the swimming pool and other
advantages, PHA indicated.
Greenbelt rents, which range from
1923 to sos, are based on the ten
ants income and the size of his
family-and not on the type of
dwelling, it was pointed out. Under
that graded rent" system, many
three-bedroom and basement &C
commodations rent for considerably
less than SOS month, it was ex-
planned.
In his statement, Mayor Canning
said 1t was his belief and that of
the other members of the Town
Council that "the great majority of
the residents will be most seriously
affected by an increase"
While no percentage figures were
available from PHA as to the
amount of the increase, either on
individual units or on an average
basis, the agency said the aim was
to raise the maximum" rents to
a point where they would be equal
to rents for comparable accommoda-
tions in privately owned develop
ments.
Plan Held Infiationary.
Even these comparable rents
would not be charged tenants with
low incomes or large families. A re-
duction is made on the basis of
family size and family income, it
was explained.
Referring to the increase in the
maximum rent schedule - which
PHA says will only be charged to
high-income families with few chill
dren-Mayor Canning said that In
many instances the proposed rates
represent increases in excess of 80
per cent"
The Mayor contended the present
rentals established in 1912 under
OPA review represent fair study
of comparable rents, and that the
proposed increase in relation to that
study is infationary."
1.-THE inability of PHA officials to
produce comparable data upon
which the new schedules were based
and their inability, to name other
PHA housing projects where similar
increases have been or will be put
into effect have convinced the men,
bers of the Council that the pro-
posed action is most arbitrary"
Mayor Canning said.

fullest extent permissible under the
rules and regulations governing
each organization" The joint &C.
