Arnold Line OUT Of Red

Even if the general S cents a
zone fare increase, requested by
the Washington. Virginia and
Maryland Coach Co. (Arnold
Line) is granted. the firm still will
be $4,000 lin the hole" at the
end of 1850, exclusive of any tax
claims against it, Lester r. Con-
ley. Arlington County Board law
yer, told an Interstate Commerce
Commission hearing.
Mr.. Conley said yesterday this
estimate included payment of the
labor award of September 9, CIV
ing 10 to II cents an hour wage
increases to workers. He wants the
commission to solve the company S
financial problem.
The hearing is in recess until
Wednesday. owing to prior en-
gagements of the company's law
yer, S. Harrison Kahn. At that
time, the county board. which is
opposing the fare raise, will be
given a further opportunity to be
heard.
To Probe Handling of Loans.
The county disclosed yesterday
1t will inquire into the company's
handling of loans from the Arnold
employees pension fund. Mr.. Con-
ley subpoenaed Manuel j. Davis.
company attorney. for the pur-
pose.
He said he wanted to raise the
question of whether it is appro-
pirate for the bus line to borrow
from the employees fund. Mr..
Conley brought out that the cor
poration obtained two loans total
ing $4,000.
The company closed the main
presentation of its case yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Kahn said the
State of Virginia will enter the
case formally on Wednesday. The
State is operating the company
as the result of a strike threat.
Staggered Hours Suggested.
If working hours of Govern
ment employees and Washington
commercial establishments could
be staggered" such as they were
in wartime, to spread out the
peak bus traffic. the line could
provide better service, Jesse F.
Stokely, company traffic manager,
told Examiner ]. j. Williams, who
is conducting the hearing.
Mr.. Stokely recalled that, dur
ing the war, the peak morning
hours were from $50 am. to $50
am, compared with the present
Z to 8 am. In the evening, he
said, wartime peak hours were
from $3.50 pm. to $50 pm, COM
pared with the present to 6 pm.
Mr.. Stokely said he has con-
ferred with Pentagon officials
and others on the subject, but
without success.
The traffic manager conceded
that the company is asking peo-
pie who ride 81 miles to pay the
same as those who ride 80 miles
But. Mr.. Stokely added, q Capital
Transit Co. ride for a couple OF
blocks costs the same as one out
to Chevy Chase from downtown
Washington.

Civic Federation
bdcksSasscer
Utility Proposal
Prince Georges Unit
Fuvors Co-ordinuted
Control in D. c. Area

The Prince Georges County Civic
Federation is on record as support
ing efforts to coordinate problems
such as public transportation and
other utilities which are common
to Washington and surrounding
areas in Maryland and Virginia.
BY a unanimous vote. the group
last night Endorsed a bill sponsored
by Representative Sasscer, Demo-
crat, of Maryland authorizing the
appointment of a congressional
commission to study the question.
Under the BILL the commission
would recommend legislation clear
ing the way for joint action by
existing agencies in the Washing
ton area or, if necessary, calling
for the establishment of a single
agency which would have jurisdic-
ton over such activities.
First Sponsor of Idea.
The resolution. introduced by
Daniel M. Greene. chairman of the
Laws and Legislation Committee.
urged Mr. Sasscer to exert his
best efforts to bring about enact
ment of the bill during the second
session of the 8lst Congress"
Mr.. Greene pointed out that
the District and nearby Maryland
and Virginia have become "one
compact territory" but that juris-
diction over local problems ends
at their respective boundaries.
He recalled that the federation
was the first organization in the
Washington area to urge the Gre
alton of a special commission en-
powered to regulate public trans
portation in the area. (The Ar
lington Civic Federation is on rec
ord as opposed to the Sasscer bill.
Mr.. Greene also submitted a
resolution indorsing another bill
sponsored by Mr.. Sasscer. The
measure would permit Washing
ton firemen to assist in fighting
fires in adjacent counties without
losing their benefits in case they
are injured.
The resolution was tabled, how
ever, after several delegates said
the bill failed to include Maryland
firemen who assist in fighting fires
in the District.
School Hearing Planned.
S. A. Mistretta, chairman of a
special committee studying a pro-
posal for a 12-mopth school year.
announced his group will meet
next week with representatives OF
Government educational agencies.
the State and County Boards Of
Education and county parent
teacher associations to discuss the
matter.
1 The meeting, which will be open
to all county residents. will be
held at s pm. Thursday in the
County Service Building, Hyatts-
vile.
The proposal was made by Fed
Grafton President Walter F. Multi
gan at the organization meeting
last month.
A three-man nominating COM
mittee was elected to draft slate
of candidates for federation Off
ces at the groups meeting next
month. Committee members are
DR.. R. c. Wylie. William j. Dixon
and Mr.. Mistretta.
In other business, the fedora
ton accepted the Woodlawn Citi-
zens' Association as a member.
The meeting was held in the
County Service Building.

LandAnnexation
Board Seeks to Block
Threatened Move
By Alexandra
By Robert G. RolIinqs

LII a SooaCl1 444oFCy t11C 1 al 1dh
County Board of Supervisors has
requested legislation aimed at
thwarting any attempt by Alex
andria to annex a portion of the
county.
The city is studying possibility
OF an annexation attempt which
undoubtedly would involve sections
of Fairfax described by county Of
ficials as some of our best reve-
nue-producing land"
Fairfax already is fighting a
proposal by the Hedging city of
Falls Church to annex surround
ing territory. The move, however,
has been suspended temporarily
by the city.
Clarke Statement Cited.
The latest action by the super
visors came yesterday at a special
meeting after Warren L. Granger,
president of the New Alexandria
Citizens Association, read news
paper article which quoted State
Senator Andrew w. Clarke as
stating anti-annexation legislation
is not contemplated. The article
said the legislator. who represents
both Alexandria and Fairfax as
we'll as Prince William County.
made his statement before an
Alexandria group.
The article said also that Sen
ator Clarke told the group the
General Assembly will not pass a
sales tax at its 1850 session next
month.
After hearing the article read,
the supervisors commented that
Senator Clarke also represents
Fairfax, which. they said, has as
many votes as Alexandria.
Asked to Work for Bill.
Then Supervisor Maurice Fox
moved that Senator Clarke and
Delegate Edwin Lynch be re-
quested to Introduce and work
for" the anti-annexation measure.
Mr.. Lynch also represents the
land-hungry city of Falls Church
IN the House of Delegates.
The motion was seconded by
Supervisor c. B. Runyon who
commented: We've got to have
better representation lin the State
Senate)."
Board Chairman G. Wallace
Carper said he would like to see
a sales tax enacted so the pro-
ceeds could be used to retire bonds
for school construction.
IF Andy Clarke doesn't be-
lieve In it, he won't work for it"
Mr.. Carper asserted.
Expects Approval of Bond Issue.
The board chairman expressed
the belief that $10,000,000 bond
issue for school construction will
be approved by the voters.
you've got to do something to
take care of the children" he de-
clared. There is no use trying
to dodge the issue"
Mr.. Runyon, referring to the
annexation question, said If Alex
andria "has something better than
we have, let's get something bet
ter still"
IF we get the proper county
manager form of government,
the supervisor continued, ALEX
andria will have nothing to offer
residents of adjoining sections of
Fairfax"
Mr.. Granger headed a delega-
ton of members of the New Alex
andria group which requested in
formation from the board regard
ing annexation and fiscal matters.

"Our trouble of course" Mrs.

from the way the boys were

my husbands mother adored her

Women Doctors Battle Unfair
Prejudice To Fill Medical Shortage

| ternes, and thirty-fve per cent
maintained a rigid all-male policy
for residences.
"Staff jobs for women are also
rare. A woman's chances of rising
above the assistant level are
hardly better than that of officiat-
ing at the birth of three sets of
twins in the same night. Some
hospital authorities seem to feel
that woman as full-fedged chief
of department would be a gross
humiliation to the men doctors
under her, would disturb their
morale and quite possibly lower
the standards of their work.
"But even when a lady doctor
has gained the admiration of her
fellows, she still may find herself
barred from membership in or
CARNATIONS of medical specialists.
The American genealogical
Society has bowed to pressure to
the extent of admitting one woman
only.
"Pinning down the men on their
objections to women in medicine
usually evokes the favorite grippe
that women quit the profession
when they marry, when they have
children, or when halfway
through their training-they sud-
denly decide the going is too rough.
"Not long ago, Professors Flor
ence Lowther and Helen Downes
of Barnard College polled 1,240
women physicians who had grad
uated within the last twenty years
from Columbia, Yale, Johns Hop
kins, the Women's Medical College
in Philadelphia, and the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania. They came
up with these happy results: Nine
ty-one per cent still were engaged
in practice, teaching or making
names for themselves in laboratory
research, and eighty-two per cent
of the 451 married women in the
group also were at work in their
chosen profession.
I'm recent years the number of
patients who deliberately seek
out women doctors has increased
markedly. This is particularly
noticeable in the fields of obstet-
RIGS and gynecology."
