Continuing Transit Emergency


request for another fare raise is designed
to meet an emergency situation arising
from the recent wage award to It's en-
ployes. But that award did not create
the situation which prompted the fare
petition, it merely aggravated an emer-
gency that has been developing not only
here but elsewhere in this postwar era OIL
rising prices and wages.
The most disturbing thing about the
prospect of further increase in transit
fares is that there is no assurance that
this financial relief will end the emer-
gency. The company itself indicates that
additional help of some sort later may
become necessary to keep its head above
water. The trouble is that every recent
fare increase has been followed by falling
of in passenger traffic. A f1fteen-cent cash
fare, with tokens at six for eighty cents,
and no weekly pass privileges, is almost
certain to bring another drop in patron
age. This vicious circle of fare increases
on forever without wrecking Washingcons
mass transportation system.
But the collapse, through financial diff
culties, of Washington's streetcar and bus
system would be calamity which the city
could not afford to risk The calamity
would be one affecting not only the private
business of the community but the citys
major industry, the Federal Government.
Washington's transit crisis. therefore, IS
a matter of grave concern not only to the
District Public Utilities Commission but
nj hro,,
of the Federal Government.
Congress has added to the company's
plight by forcing it to transport school
children for the absurdly inadequate sum
of three cents, although most other large
cities charge five cents or more. A Ave-
cent school fare would bring in about
$180,000 more revenue year. The effect
of the 1888 school fare law has been to
compel Capital Transit to foot the bill for
a subsidy which, if it is desirable, should
be paid from public rather than private
funds. Congress thus cannot escape
share of blame for the sagging revenue
structure of the company.
Now that the situation threatens the
future of the city's main transit service,
Congress should decide whether it should
assume the responsibility of continuing to
impose the cost of this school subsidy on
the transit system. And while it is study
ing the school-fare subsidy, Congress would
do well to study the whole question of
transit subsidies For Washington seems
to be moving inexorably in the direction
of subsidized public transportation, if not
public ownership. Every fare increase,
every loss of patronage brings that un-
fortunate possibility nearer.

Some Truth About Spuin

Chairman JOnn kee OF the HOUSE fOrelgu
Affairs Committee has delivered care
fully prepared address on our relations
with Spain, and it deserves attention. It
is deserving because it is sensible and,
for these times at least, singularly candid
discussion of blunder which reflects dis
creditably on this country.
There have been reports that Mr.. KEGS
speech was delivered with the blessing of
the State Department This is not con-
firmed, but if true that is fact to- be
welcomed.
In 1916 the General Assembly of the
United Nations adopted resolution
recommending that the member nations
Withdraw their ambassadors from Spain.
This move was spearheaded by the Com
munists It's intent presumably was to
weaken the position of General Franco
and pave the way for his downfall.
OF course, it has had the opposite result,
as might have been expected. The Span
iards, resenting this attempt at coercion
and the atmosphere of intellectual dis
honesty in which it was conceived, prob
ably stand more firmly behind Franco
today than they did in 1946. That the
policy has been failure inb addition to
being kind of international fraud, has
been evident for some time. There have
been. attempts in the General Assembly
to rescind it, the latest effort mastering
more than majority but less than the
required two-tllirds vote. The Govern
ment of the United States, however, with
all of its talk of world leadership, with
all of it's pleas for international morality,
has been unable to make up its mind on
this ISSUE It has been unwilling to say
whether it believes that the Assembly's
recommendation is right or wrong. And
when the decisive vote was taken last year,
when the nations were asked to stand up
and be counted, our representative the
representative of the greatest power in the
world-sat on his hands, closed his lips
and looked the other way. Rather than
take a stand as between right and wrong
we sought refuge in the timid device of
abstaining from the vote.
Now Mr. Kee comes forward and urges
q different course of action. He says that
the policy of Withdrawing our ambassador
has failed as moral demonstration. !"
The Star does not agree that there was
ever anything moral about the policy, but
at least there can be no doubt that 1t has
tailed And this being 30, Mr.. Kee says
Evening star., 1950-01-12

he believes that the action OF the General
Assembly should be rescinded, that we
should support such rescission, and that
when the recommendation has been re-
pealed we should send the best man who
can be found as our Ambassador to
Madrid.
It is to be hoped that this reflects the
present thinking at the State Department
and in the White House. If so, we can
look forward to the day when our Spanish
blunder. will be rectifed, and when, with
respect to Spain, we will begin to serve
our own interests rather than the interests
of other nations including all OF those
who have lined up against us in the
cold war.

Winning New Friends

1t is astonishing to see how the Taft
Hartley Act is winning new friends and in
fuencing old enemies.
Last week 1t was Scott Lucas of Illinois.
Senate majority leader and captain of
the Taft-Hartley repeal forces in that
branch of Congress. Now 1t is Repre-
sentative Jacobs of Indiana a loyal labor
man and leader of last years fight in
the House to repeal the law.
1t Is not accurate, of course, to suggest
that Mr.. Jacobs has become friend and
champion Of the Taft-Hartley Act. But
he is an intelligent man, capable of recog-
nizing the distinction between political
fact and political fiction. His constituents,
union and non-union alike are suffering
from the shortage Of coal, and they want
something done about it. That is a fact
the political significance of which is easily
understood by Mr.. Jacobs, by Senator
Lucas, and by all other members of
Congress who want their constituents to
re-elect them next November
This is not fact, however, which squares
with the political fiction, so assiduously
foStered by the President, that the Taft
Hartley Act is slave-labor statute con-
ceived in the minds of wicked Republicans
with the iniquitous purpose of crushing
and destroying the labor unions. Polit-
ically speaking, fiction of this sort may
be all right in fair weather. When the
people are not suffering at the hands of
some irresponsible labor boss, it may be
good business for the marchers in the
Democratic ranks to join with the Presi-
dent in shouting for repeal OF the law.
This sort of thing is supposed to attract
the votes of union labor, and the rest Of
the voters, when things are going well,
presumably are Indifferent.
But 1t is another matter when people
are short of coal to heat their homes and
when they see their jobs threatened be-
cause John L. Lewis will not let his miners
dig enough coal to meet the demand. And
there seems to be an admirable candor in
Mr.. Jacobs acknowledgment of this in
difference.
He says he still thinks that the law
should be repealed. But he admits that
in the present situation there is no remedy
except the Taft-Hartley Act, and there
fore he says that the President should
invoke it.
This is concession from MIR. Jacobs
which exposes the glaring fallacy of the
Presidents position, Mr.. Jacobs at least
has bill Of his own which might afford
some degree Of protection to the public.
But if the President could have his way,
the Taft-Hartley law would be repealed
and the public would be left without the
slightest statutory protection against the
John L. Lewises Of the labor movement.
II 1t were not for the Taft-Hartley law,
| ME-. Lucas, Mr.. Jacobs and the others
would be crying In vain for protection.
They would be helpless to aid their con-

Letters to The Star
Winter Fun on the "Avenue"
Sixty-seven Years Ago


Sixty-seven Years Ago
To the Editor Of The Star:
Dick Mansfield's question on his historical
cartoon, in your issue Of January /. recalled
q description of a grand sleighing carni-
val on January IL. 1888, which I wrote In
letter sent to my sister two days later.
Perhaps some Of your readers might enjoy
this account Of that occurrence ST years ago,
penned by witness as follows:
my Dear Sis:
1--WE had big snow here last week, and
Friday there was an immense impromptu
sleighing carnival on Pennsylvania Avenue.
Prizes were offered for the most grotesque
and original rigs. The procession started
from the Capitol at o'clock, down the
Avenue two miles, and back. OF course, we
in the Offices wasted Is minutes of Uncle
Sans time at the window watching the
procession, which was about eight squares
long, OF maSkers. There were Sleighs of all
kinds. and masks Of all kinds. and horses
OF all kinds, and Of course a great deal. Of
advertising.
"One of the most amusing things was a
caricature Of London hanson. The han
SONS have been introduced here since
Christmas to travel up and down the Ave-
nue.. They are one-horse carriages. on two
wheels. with driver on a perch behind.
on the same style. except it had no wheels
and was built of rough boards. This took
immensely and got the first prize.
"The second prize was Court'-a COW
hauled on a sled with Mrs. Langtry as De-
fendant holding her horns and the Plaintiff
pulling her tail. while the counsel on both
sides MIXED her. That COW must have got
MIXED dry before the procession was done.
1.-THE third prize was taken by an old
lady with an old-fashioned green split
bottomed rocking chair for sleigh, with
a horse hitched to the front pulling it. The
chair. not being well balanced, jerked and
rocked about a good deal, and the fellow
In 1t surely earned his prize during his four
mile ride He got terrible lot of exercise.
After the formal procession most of the
caricatures went out and the Avenue was
given up to fancy sleighs with fast horses,
going down one side and up on the other The
city restrictions as to fast driving were
raised; pedestrians warned to keep on the
sidewalks; mounted policemen stationed
along the route, and things were turned
loose. Both sidewalks for two miles were
packed with spectators and the sleighers
were constantly racing, making it look livelier
than race-track at a fair, for there were
some very fast horses. Occasionally there
was runaway or a collision, and then the
mounted police would fly down to the res
cue-to the CONSERVATION Of sightseers who
happened to be over the edge Of the side
walk. And the notes.-the naturalization
OF the bells'-makes my ears ring yet As there
were certainly 300 or 400 sleighs, and each
horse carried from 10 to 80 bells, you can
imagine the amount of the Jingle.
Since then 1t has been so slippery that
one could hardly stand. and the first thing
I did this morning when started to break
fast was to try to stand on my head"
