A. B. & W. Asks
ice 10 Abolish
Infer-Line Rate
Combination System
On Tickets Opposed
AS Discriminatory

The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has been asked to abolish
the system of combination bus line
tickets between Washington and
defense establishments in nearby
Virginia.
The Alexandria, Bancroft &
Washington Transit Co. proposed
an end to the inter-line rate in a
petition filed Friday.
AS an alternative, the company
asked an increase in the amount
it receives on such tickets.
Under the system, commuters
ride Capital Transit Co. buses in
the District and either the A. B. &
w. buses or those operated by
the Washington, Virginia & Mary
land Coach Co. The latter is
known as the Arnold line.
Second Move in Week.
The petition represents A. B. &
WIS second move within a week
to raise additional revenue.
Several days ago it announced
plans for an overall increase Of 5
cents on charges now made. 1t
delivered to the ICC notice of
intention to raise fares on inter-.
state rides. Unless the commission
intervenes, the new tariff schedule
will become effective June 4.
The company also requested the
State Corporation Commission of
Virginia to schedule a hearing on
its plea for higher intra- state
fares.
Inter-line tickets now sell at -
for $1.92-or Is cents a ride. OF
this. Capital Transit receives 7
cents ride, while the remaining
9 cents goes to A. B. & w. or to
Arnold, depending upon which line
is used.
Discrimination Charged.
The A. B. & w. attacked this
division as "prejudicial, discrimi-
natory and inconsistent with the
purpose of the ICC Act"
The bus company contended
the division of fare prescribed by
the ICC is unreasonably low and
non-compensatory to the carrier.
1t declared that the compelling
reason for the system-if any
no longer exists. The inter line
tickets have been used for about
three years.
The company said it considers
Is cents as the minimum amount
that would be compensatory to-
the company. 1t said there is
no distinction between the serv-
ice rendered holders of joint line
tickets and the other riders using
its facilities.
Furthermore. the petition de-
clared. there is no justification
for employs Of the Federal Gov
ernment to receive special consid-
Grafton for reduced public transit
fares. And the system creates
costly, time consuming operations,
1t added.
Would Affect Commuters.
Riders who would be affected
by the proposed change commute
between the District and the
Pentagon Building, the Arlington
Navy Annex, the National Airport
and intermediate points.
Meanwhile, the darlington
Civic Association called on the
Arlington County Board to fight
the increased fares sought in the
earlier petitions. L. R. Paramore
president. questioned the propriety
of the State Corporation Com
missions passing on the issue
because technically it now operates
the bus company The State
took over the line to prevent the
disruption of service by strike
of drivers.
Mr.. Paramore noted that the
State petition was signed by
Robert T. Mitchell, A. B. g. w.

petition was signed by William
c. Seibert. Mr.. Seibert is an agent
of the State commission, in

JUDGE SAYS NO A(QUITTAL FOR MARAG0N
Governor of California for Statehood, Glacier
 Priest Opposed
By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL

WASHINGTON, April "A = tR - Federal Judge Jennings Bailey re- fused today to order the acquittal of John Maragon on charges of lying to Senate investigators.
 The defense asked for the di- rected verdict when the govern ment rested it's case.
 With denial of the motion, Irwin Goldstein. Maragon's lawyer, called Senator Mundt (R-SD) as his first witness.
 Mundt was member of the Sen- ate committee which made an in- vestigation last year of activities or five percenters-men who do busi- ness with the government for others for a fee. usually five percent.
 Maragon, who used to have friends at the White House, is &C., cused of perjuring himself in testi- mony to that committee.
 The government abandoned one of four charges that Maragon lied to Senate investigators last year about his business and financial affairs. It dropped an accusation that he perjured himself in saying that $5.000 he got from his mother in-law last year was loan. The mother-in-la is ill and could not be brought here to testify.
