Cincinnoti's Fare Control
Mioht Aid Situation Here

on the ground it is natural that
we should be sensitive, perhaps
representative, to its shortcom-
-ings. " .H'.
Even so, the latter should not
be allowed to obscure some very
solid values which it clearly has
developed. For Is years-through
a boom, a bust. war and a post
war period of inflation-it has at
least achieved the result of en-
abling the company to keep alive
although not being really strong
and robust, of providing the city
with transit service which we
think would compare acceptably
with that to which you are &C
customed in Washington. Of keep
ing the discussion and treatment
of transit problems on level
markedly higher than that Of a
political free-for-all. and Of
cementing pleasant working re-
lationships between the company
on the one hand and the public
and municipal regulatory authori-
ties on the other.
Perhaps the net Of my views
can best be clarified when L say
that. based on my experience with
the plus and minus aspects of our
franchise and present situation, if
we were up against the necessity
of a complete recasting of our
arrangements, my preference
would be to keep the essential
elements and theory of our fran
chise rather than reverting to the
scheme of having to petition some
regulatory authority for necessary
adjustments in the rate of fare.
but trying to moderate or amend
our franchise in certain technical
particulars designed to enable it
to deal more adequately with the

SHALLMAR, Md. Dec. o.
The spirit Of Christmas burned
brightly in this little mountain
town today.
And it is spreading to other
poverty-stricken communities of
the mountain area.
All but few of Shallmar's 200
residents were utterly destitute a
few weeks ago.
There had been no work in the
community since its only mine
closed down in March for lack of
orders.
Thin, scantily clad children be-
came faint in school for lack of
food. Some families had SUBJ
sisted for weeks on a diet consist
ing mainly Of potatoes and apples.
Then the plight of the town
and its 80 children leaked into
the outside world. .-.
Soon trucks loaded with food
