hearing.
The company, operating be-

has asked generally for a scent

Attorney Lester R. Conley rep
resenting the Arlington County
Board, which is challenging the
increase. yesterday afternoon made
motion to throw out the testi-
mony of Bernard Wahle, the firm S
general manager. unless he is
speaking for the State of Virginia.
Examiner Williams took this tn

slated to continue under cross
examination on the witness stand
today.
Under Commission Direction.
The Virginia State Corporation
Commission is now supervising the
lines bus operations. under orders
Of Governor Tuck, operating un-
der the Public Utilities Labor Re-
lations Act. The company is act
ing as the operating agent for the
State.
The company's attorney. s.
Harrison Kahn, planned to confer
with Attorney General j. Lindsey
Almond of Virginia to clarity the
situation. Mr.. Kahn earlier had
told Examiner Williams none of
the company employees is qualified
to speak for the State of Virginia
or to say how long the State will
continue to operate the transpor-
tation system.
In an exchange late yesterday,
Mr.. Kahn accused Mr.. Conley of
failing to prepare himself fully
for the hearing. The Arlington
counsel had asked permission to
postpone cross-examination of all
busline witnesses until the COM
pany had presented its entire
case. He said he wanted time
to examine the utility's exhibits.

The examiner refused to grant the
postponement.
Mr.. Wahle said the company is
losing more than $500 a day,
taking into account the Sep
tember 8 labor arbitration award
giving workers increases Of from
10 to II cents an hour.
| The witness said there is a short
peak period here because Of the
Government employees and he told
Examiner Williams:
If it were possible to shift the
Government hours Is or 80 min

we could carry thousands more

| Mr.. Wahle disclosed the State
of Virginia is not paying the ar
bitration award increases. but that
the company feels this is an obli-
cation, which it is carrying on its
books. The company applied to
the ICC for the fare increase on
the ground it does not have the
money to meet the pay raise
