On Building Purchase

More than 10000 participants in
the Group Health Association, Inc,

posal to purchase the Arlington

vestment Co.
Assessment on Members.
CHA members would be as
sessed a total of $4,000 partly
to meet a $150,000 down payment
and partly for remodeling of the
building. Members with one ben
eficiary would pay $30.40 toward
purchase of the structure; mem
bers with four beneficiaries would
pay $71.20. The payments would
be made over three-year period.

Examiner Proposes
22-Cent Tickets to
Nearby installations

An examiners recommendations
for higher passenger bus fares be-
tween the District and the nearby
Federal Government installations
in Virginia was pending today be-
fore the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The decision will affect hun
dreds of Federal workers. as well
as the general public transacting
business with the agencies.
ICC Examiner Henry c. Lawton,
who heard testimony in July, yes
terday urged this new fare sched-
ule as "just and reasonable:
Fifteen cents cash for a one
way trip.
Thirteen and one-third cents for
a one-way trip, if token or ticket
is used. Tokens or tickets to be
sold three for 40 cents over the
Virginia buSlines.
Multiple Trip Fares.
A joint bus and buS-streetcar
fare for multiple trips over the
lines of the Capital Transit Co.
and the two Virginia lines, not ex-
ceeding $264. These would be
valid for IL one-way trips, equal
to % cents for a one-way trip,
including transfer privileges on the
Capital Transit lines. Ticket books
for 1894 should be valid for so
days.
Mr.. Lawton asked the commits
sion to enter "an appropriate Or
der giving effect to these find
ings."
The proposed fare schedule
compares with the present 16-cent
joint fare. of which a Virginia bue
company gets 8 cents and Capital
Transit cents. The existing cash
fare is 10 cents for a one-way trip.
Involved in the proceeding are
rides between the District and
the Pentagon. Navy Annex. Ma
tional Airport and Arlington
Farms.
Share Up to Companies.
Directly affected are riders to
these Federal installations who
use the Capital Transit Co., the
Alexandria. Bancroft & Washing
ton Transit Co. and the Wash
ington. Virginia & Maryland
Coach Co.. Inc. Capital Transit
does not operate regularly sched-
uled buses in Virginia. but trans
fers to the Virginia lines.
Mr.. Lawton, in his report, left
to the transit companies con-
cerned the division of joint rates
and fares.
Capital Transit urged that If
the Joint fare was continued, it
be given Is cents of the proposed
30-cent fare for riders between
the District and the Government
installations.
Virginia Boost Supported.
The buslines at the hearing
said fare increases were justified
by drastic increases in operating
costs and substantial decreases in
operating revenues.
Mr.. Lawton wrote in his report:
THE Virginia lines are clearly in
need of substantial increases in
revenues in order to offset mount
ing expenses and declining traffic. /"
The Supreme Court on Novenl-
Der IA. 1949, upheld the ices
right to fix Joint bus fares in a
5-to-3 decision.

.Cur|ey Byrd Day for
Boy Who Made Good
By George Kennedy


CRISFIELD, Md, Oct. This
Eastern Shore fishing port is try
ing to get back to normal today,
after going all-out for it's favorite
son, DR.. Harry C. (Curley) Byrd,
president Of the University of
Maryland.
Yesterday was Curley Byrd Day
in CriSfield. The handsome
teacher, who has won so many
battles in the Legislature at An
napolis for his school, was busy
acknowledging tributes and ignor-
ing prophesies for a political fu-
ture from his well-intentioned
friends.
Everybody in Crisfield was given
an opportunity to see and hear
the boy from this neck who made
good" The program had three
major events. DR.. Byrd talked to
pupils at the high school in the
afternoon. More than 1000 chill
dren from both the high school
and the elementary schools at
tended. He was guest of honor at
a dinner at the Masonic Temple.
About 200 of the community's
leading citizens and their wives,
many in formal attire, attended.
Mass Meeting Held.
Then he spoke at q mass meet
ing in the Crisfield armory with
music by the American Legion
band. and songs by the high
school glee club.
High point of the meeting in
the armory was presentation of a
large bronze plaque with DR..
Byrd's likeness and an inscription.
The plaque will be placed in one
of the Maryland University build
ingS.
1t was at the end of this event
that State Controller J. Millard
Tawes of Crisfield, who was mas
ter of ceremonies, said:
We'll. Curley. we have come to
the end of a perfect day."
A reception committee had been
appointed to greet the 61-year-old
favorite son, but he arrived about
an hour early. and was found
down on the docks looking for
crabs in the murky water of the
bay.
Mother Attends Dinner.
DR.. Byrd is a frequent visitor
at Crisfield because his mother,
Mrs. Sallie Bryd. lives here. She
took a bow at the dinner last
night.
The Crisfield Times devoted
much of it's edition to a biography
of DR.. Byrd, which pointed out
that up until 1882, when he was
made vice president of the univer-
sity, he wrote a sports column
for the Washington Star. Girls
fields citizens really got to know
DR.. Byrd last night because pic
lures of his career from cradle to
university presidency were pro-
jected on a large screen at the
armory.
They laughed at childhood pic
lures. Young Harry Byrd's curls
were very long. That was in the
days of Little Lord Fauntlersy
and Harry was a close approach
to the original Birch drawings in
old st. Nicholas magazine.
They laughed again at the pic
lures of Curley Byrd, the track
star. who returned to the uni
versity as football coach. His legs
were knottier than his team
mates, but the records show
he ran faster, and they ap-
plauded the pictures of the dis
tinguished looking university pres
ident.
DR.. Byrd was unable to stay in
Crisf1eld overnight. He left by
plane for Michigan for the Mich
igan State Maryland football
game today.
