Date New Fares Start
In Suburbs May Be Set

The Capital Transit Co, was
expected to decide today on what
date 1t will institute higher fares
for passengers in Prince Georges and
Montgomery counties.
Action of the Baltimore Circuit
Court yesterday cleared the way for
the new rates. In dissolving
temporary order which had re-
strained the company from any
change, Chief Judge w. Conwell
Smith directed the utility to file its
new tariff schedule within IS days.
Judge Smith simultaneously dis
solved a restraining order against
the Maryland Public Service Com
mission, which went to court with
Capital Transit in fight over bar
gain fares for school children.
Under Judge Smiths earlier ruling,
Capital Transit must abide by the
PSC order for special rates for
pupils, although authorized to in
crease charges for all other riders.
There was a possibility, however.
that the transit company would
appeal the school rate after 1t puts
the general fare increase into effect.
In dissolving the restrainers with
out prejudice" Judge Smith left the
door open to appeal.
E. C. Giddings, Capital Transit
vice president, said company officials
hoped to Ak the date for new fares
at conference during the day. tbs
Public Service Commission specified
that the utility give at least f1Ve
days notice before making any

District Sex Bill Sent
To Truman After House
Concurs in Changes
w. D. Chandler Sd.

Congress today placed its final ap-
proval on the Districts sex Offend
ers' bill and sent it to the White
House.
Action came when the House con-
Cured in minor Senate amendments
to the measure previously approved
by the House.
The bill, long desired by leaders in
law enforcement and medical care,
had been the subject of protracted
hearings in Congress for months.
It was revised several times.
The Senate amendments provided
more specific definition of sex crimes
and directed that persons charged
with such crimes be given bill of
particulars of their alleged offenses
when requested.
The measure has two principal
sections. The first strengthens the
penalties for sex offenders convicted
of crimes, especially against chill
dren. The second section provides
for disqualification, treatment and
rehabilitation if possible of sexual
psychopaths who would be consid-
cred not insane, but ill and in need
of treatment.
Experts in law enforcement and
psychiatry joined with District OFF,
cials in working out provisions of
the measure. The bill was devel-
oped largely by House District
Subcommittee on Health and Edu-
cation, headed by Representative
Miller, Republican, of Nebraska. a
physician.
Need for such measure had been
stressed by The Evening Star in a
campaign Urging legislation to cope

Arlington Woman, 100, Warns
Against Liquor and Cigarettes
Resident of D. c. Area
Since 1903 Can Recall
Civil War Era
By Robert c. RoIlines

How does it feel to be 100 years
old?
Well, not the way most people
think, according to Mrs. Rosetta
Post. who will reach the century
mark next Wednesday.
Interviewed at her Arlington
home, Mrs. Post said she could not
credit her longevity to any one par
ticular thing. Her only advice to
the younger generations is to leave
cigarettes and strong drinks alone.
Mrs. Post, who has lived in the
Washington area since 1908, was
born in Camillus, Onondaga County,
New York. She has a clear mem
ory of events which occurred even
in her childhood.
The little gray-haired woman has
been confined to the house for most
of the past year. Almost blind, she
now has only light perception to
aid her in getting around the home
at 3457 North Thirteenth street
where she lives with her youngest
daughter, Mrs. Edna M. Council
and Mr.. Council
Although her hearing is somewhat
impaired, Mrs. Post enjoys listening
to the radio and has small one in
her room. She appreciates visits
from members of the Wilson Boule.

she was active for more than two

Argentina Paper Blasts
Bridges Trade Statement
BY the Associoted Press

BUENOS AIRES, May 27.-The
pro-government newspaper Critica
yesterday accused Senator Bridges,
Republican. Of New Hampshire of
trying Ito control Argentina's for
eign trade.
At a congressional hearing in
Washington Tuesday, Senator
Bridges criticized the Argentine
export price policy and said: If
Western Europe completes for food
in the world market, Argentina will
charge all that the traffic will bear"
Critica asked in an editorial:
How can the United States (and)
Senator Bridges not permit Euro
pean nations to buy freely in Ar
gentina? Is that not foreign inter-
ference in the sovereignty of those
European nations and in our own
to try to prevent us from charging
what we are able to obtain for our
products?"

D.C.HeadsStudy
Request 10 Curb
Liquor Brokers
Wholesalers Protest
National Brund Sole
Without Franchise

The Commissioners today took un-
der adyisement proposal OF the
Wholesale Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton that would prevent wholesalers
and brokers from importing national
liquor brands to Washington with
out distillers' franchises.
If the Commissioners decide to
amend the Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board regulations in conform
ity with the proposal, Washington
liquor brokers-those who operate
with District licenses but do not
maintain warehouses or solicitors
might have to acquire a string OF
franchises from national distillers OF
60 out of business.
The proposal was supported at
today's closed hearing in Commits
sioner John Russell Young's office by
the ABC Board, to /. Chairman
Alan Payne and Mrs. Agnes K. Ma
son repeatedly favor the amendment,
while it was understood James OD.
Moran dissented.
Wholesalers Back Proposal.
The proposal was supported by
score OF local liquor wholesalers,
and Milford F. Schwartz, spokesman
for the association. Mr.. Schwartz
said the assembled dealers were in
vited by the Commissioners to tell
what they thought of the proposed
addition to the ABC rules.
Explaining the effect of the pro-
posal, Mr.. Schwartz said 1t would
eliminate certain inequities now ex-
listing between large-scale whole
salers and brokers. He said Wnole-
salers pay 2 per cent personal
property tax every July on all stock
they have in their warehouses. This
stock, in some cases, is valued at as
much as IS 900, 900.
He declared licensed brokers. who
have no warehouses and conSe-
ouently no floor stock, do not pay
the tax. They are charged a license
fee Of S110 year, however.
Practice Is Explained.
The practice which the whole
salers want eliminated under the
proposed regulation is this:
Licensed brokers frequently pick
up supplies of distress merchan-
dise"-liquor which is not selling
too well in some locales-and bring
it to Washington for a variety OF
retailers. National brands are often
involved in these transfers. Thus,
large operators here with franchises
from a national distiller, often find
themselves in competition with
brokers who have no franchise.
Mr.. Schwartz said surplus liquor
stocks and distress merchandise
are appearing in quantity all over
the country because of many bank
ruptcies occurring in the liquor busi-
ness. He said. however, no bank
rIptcies have occurred here.
