|2zz-Cent Fare Boost
Granted A.B.&W. Line

Fare increases averaging 2la cents
on interstate routes of the Alexan.
dria, Bancroft & Washington Transit
Co. were approved yesterday on a
six-months' trial basis starting Au-
gust Is.
Approval was given by Interstate
Commerce Commission Examiner
Henry Lawton, who conducted hear.
lngs into the proposed fare increases
last spring. Mr.. Lawton suggested
the new fares be permitted for
trial period to determine their rela-
ton to income from intrastate fares,
which the company also is seeking
to increase. Hearings on the intra-
state fares begin today before the
Virginia State Corporation Com
mission in Richmond.
The increases do not affect fares
between Washington and nearby
Virginia Government installations,
including the Pentagon, the Navy
Annex and the Nationail Airport.
A contest over the fare on these
routes is to be aired before a three
judge tribunal.
| The increases approved by Mr..
Lawton yesterday will change the
present 10 cent interstate fare to
a Is cent cash fare or a 1914 cent
token fare. The sale of 1871 cent
tokens in the present Is cent cash
fare zones will be abolished and
the cash fare only used. An in
crease also is provided on the

and wine license to new owners of

object to the sale OF alcoholic bever-

protest on the application OF Robert
Joseph, present owner, to transfer
his license to David Perlmutter.
Twelve members of the flock ap-
peared to support their minister.

Court Allows First
Direct Admission
To ST. EIizabeths

District Court Justice Alexander
Holtzof today signed the first order
under new legislation permitting
mental patients requiring extended
care to be sent directly to st. Eliza
beths Hospital, rather than first to
Gallinger Hospital.
The jurist signed an order to have
a 42-year-old former Government
employe sent to st. Elizabeths, on
petition of the woman's sister.
The patient, who some time ago
had spent several years at Shepard
Pratt Hospital in Baltimore. had
been retired by her branch of the
Government for mental disability.
Aimed at Relieving Crowding.
The new legislation, signed by
President Truman early this month,
is aimed at relieving overcrowding
in the Gallinger psychopathic divi-
sion and assuring prompt treatment
at st. Elizabeths.
Previously even patients who were
known to have been mentally i'll for
some time had to go to Gallinger
in order to get into st. Elizabeths.
At Gallinger, they often were
thrown in with drunks, court pris-
oners, amnesia victims, perverts and
patients suffering from a variety OF
diseases. Since the hospital was un-
derstaffed, they received little or no
treatment, and sometimes even were
strapped to their beds.
When, after few days or weeks,
they were sent to st. E.izabeths
they had to go through a second
physical and mental examination.
They had to wait for their belong
ings to be transferred.
Examination Necessary,
Under the new law. nonpolice pa
tlents may be admitted directly to
st. Elizabeths. These patients, DR..
Wlnfred Overholser, superintendent
OF St. Elizabeths has asserted. will
be protected by the same legal rights
as those going to Gallinnger.
The patient must be examined
within five days of admission and
must be released within a month
if they are found to be of sound
mind.
The legislation was urged by The
Star as means of relieving Gal
fingers overcrowded, understaffed
psychopathic division. 1t is expected
to remove a source Of added anxiety
to families of mentally ill relatives
by eliminating the trial of double
Decentralization.
The petition acted on today was
filed through Attorney William H.
Larey.
