Easier Transfer
Plan Is Asked
From W.M.&A
Citizens Present Plea
At PUG Hearing on
Fare Increase

Two Southeast Washington citi-
zens' associations today asked that
the Washington, Marlboro & An
napolis Motor Lines be required to
liberalize its transfer policy as the
Public Utilities Commission re-
opened hearings on the company's
request for fare increases on its Dis
trict operations.
W., M. g. A. has applied for au-
thority to raise its present 10-cent
cash fare and three-for-a-q a-quarter
token rate to a straight 15-cent cash
fare.
Irregular Schedule" Charged.
The Fort Davis Citizens Associa-
tion charged that w. M. g. A. is op-
Grating "dilapidated" buses with
extremely irregular" schedules on
"local' runs.
1t recommended dIscontinuance of
the local service. Instead, the asso-
citation favored issuance of transfers
from all incoming buses Of the line,
to be valid at transfer points to and
including Barney Circle or Fifteenth
street Sc. with corresponding trans
fer service for outgoing buses.
Under the proposal, the transfers
would be issued at Barney Circle
Sc. and other points served by the
lines.
The resolution was presented by
Mrs. Mabel E. Morris, chairman of
the associations Public Utilities
Committee.
Mrs Raymond Cole, public utili-
ties chairman of the Randle High
lands Citizens Association, asked
the PUG to make certain that any
fare increase granted w., NJ & A.
be limited to the same level as the
recent increase granted to Capital
Transit Co. The PUG last week
gave Capital Transit a new fare
schedule of IS cents cash and 3
tokens for IS cents and 81 rs week

Officials Cross Examined.
Mrs. Cole also asked the PUG to
grant fare increase, if any, suffi-
cient only to enable the company
to maintain adequate and con-
tinued service to District riders"
The Randle Highlands group
asked the PUG to require w. M. g.
A. to furnish District patrons a
minimum schedule of IS minutes

Fay Forecasts
Action in Probe
|0f Gambling
Voices Satisfaction
With Progress Made
By Grand Jury

United States Attorney George
Morris Fay expects the special grand
jury investigating gambling to act
in the not too distant future"
The prosecutor made this forecast
at meeting of the Criminal Justice
Association yesterday. He said he
was satisfied with the progress made
IN the anti-gambling investigation
to date.
The special grand jury has been
meeting irregularly since last May.
Without making a specific report on
the grand jury's progress, Mr.. Fay
said ne still believes I had a good
sound basis for asking for the spe-
clal grand jury investigation"
were not that naive as to think
we can take the gambling instinct
out OF human nature" Mr.. Fay said,
but he added that the investigation
was aimed at getting enough in
formation to keep gambling under
control"
Says Office Is Understaffed.
MIR. Fay also discussed the prob
lem of undertaking in his office. As
an example of the difficulties, he
SAID the cases on the civil docket
increased from so on September /,
l947, to 238 on the same date this
year, with only three full-time as
slstant district attorneys to handle
them.
He said one of his assistants had
reported to him that Judge Alex
ander Holtzoff said the United
States Attorneys Office may have to
conform to the same rule on con-
tlnuances as attorneys in private
practice.
He explained that this rule re-
qulres that where an attorney is
seeking continuance on the ground
that Two cases are scheduled for
trial In two courts on the same day,
the continuance is not allowed if
the attorney has more than Is pend
ing cases. Mr.. Fay said his assist
ants in the criminal courts are
handling more than 25 cases each.
180 More Policemen Urged.
The association, meeting in the
Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone
Co, Building, also heard a report
from its managing director. Edward
j. Flynn. recommending 180 more
policemen.
Mr.. Flynn said that on the basis
OF the latest population census,
Washington now has 81 police en-
ploEes for every 1000 inhabitants.
He explained that 180 more police
men would be needed to reach an
average of 2.3 policemen per 1000
inhabitants-the average in other
cities with more than a quarter
million population.
IN view of the shortage of police
men, Mr.. Flynn said, Washingtons
rate of recovering stolen property
compares favorably with the ma
tional property recovery rate.
He reported police figures for ths
first six months of this year show
Sl,45O.385 worth of property was
stolen, Of which 56.2 per cent was
recovered. The national recovery
rate. he said, is 60.4.
Washington police did their best
job of recovering stolen property on
auto thefts. Of $830,743 worth Of
autos stolen, 859 per cent was re-
covered, Mr.. Flynn reported.
Mr.. Flynn also announced that
the association is planning budget
of SlS,331 for next year, depending
on the success of the Community
Chest campaign.

Down at John Marshall High
School in Richmond there is no
problem in getting boys to join the
high school Cadet Corps.
Some of the changes which the
Board of Education and school Off
Gals are 'inaugurating in the high
school Cadet Corps here to revitalize
the depleted corps in 10 white high
schools long have been standard
practice at John Marshall.
The Richmond Schools corps is
in the same status as the cadets
in Washington-an independent
corps for which the Army furnishes
only rifles and some ammunition
But their program is SO extensive
and so enthusiastically followed by
both teachers and students that the
cadets are almost a dominant factor
in student life.
Cadet Corps or Gym.
How do they do it?
First, John Marshall gives each
entering boy the choice of one year
of physical education or one year
of the cadets. In Washington, all
boys must take physical education
and there is no choice between that
and the cadet corps.
Enrolment at John Marshall
averages one-third of the boys at
the school and this year stands at
more than 300
The John Marshall corps wears
the same uniforms as the Virginia
Military Institute and patterns its
traditions after those of VMI. They
drill two mornings week before
school begins. every day during two
Of three Commute recess periods
hold a review every Thursday after
noon and devote another hour each
afternoon to rifle maintenance and
handling.
In Washington, the cadets have
been restricted to two Commute
drills a week out of school hours
but school officials intend to relax
this somewhat. Also, high schools
will be allowed to try various plans
for placing the cadet program in
the school day-on an experimental
basis-so that possible changes or
city-wide basis may be made next
year.
Have Use of ArmOry.
The John Marshall corps uses tkc
athletic field for outdoor drills and
has Offices and the use of the Ma
tional Guard Armory (Which hap
pens to be across the street, during
the day.
Uniforms for the Richmond school
cadets cost about $40 new as COM
pared to top of S38 in Washing
ton last year. Washington cadets
this year will be able to get pri-
Yates uniforms for $23 and officers
unions for $50.
Most important difference be-
tween the Washington cadets anc
the John Marshall cadets is in the
methods of recruiting boys. The
Richmond cadets send recruiting
teams around to all Junior. high
schools in June, we'll before the
boys are to enter high school the
following September. These cadets
then sell the corps to the young
boys with pictures, personal tales
of the traditions, the advantages
and such.
In Washington, school officials
are planning some such education
program to sell the boys. Previous
ly, some. high schools did recruit
ing the first days of school. helo
assemblies for the cadet leaders ano
allowed booths to be set up. Other
school principals gave little sane
ton to such activities.
The cadets at John Marshall eat
lunch in a group at special messes
The result is almost a separate
military unit within the school, Nc
other students are in the lunchroom
when they eat. Companies eat to-
gether, and it is run as an Army
mess.
