PentagonFare
May Be
Produced Today
Bus Costs Driven Up
By Short Rush Hour,
Official Testifies

Virginia buslines were expected
to produce figures today in sup
port of claims that Government
employees riding from the District
to the Pentagon now receive pre-
ferred-rate treatment diScrimina-
tory to other riders.
These lines. the Alexandria,
Bancroft & Washington Transit
Co. and Washington, Virginia g.
Maryland (ArnolO Co., are asking
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion for scent increase in fares
from the District to the Pentagon,
Navy Annex and National Airport.
Bus officials appearing before
Examiner H. c. Lawton testified
yesterday that fares between
Washington and other Virginia
points are now Is cents, the rate
being asked in the present hear
ing.
Cites Rate Increase Request.
Robert T. Mitchell, vice presi-
dent Of the A. B. g. w., said that
discrimination" would be even
greater in favor of preferred
few if the ICC grants a requested
scent interstate increase to points
where the fare now is Is cents.
That request now is under advise
ment.
The Virginia lines, as we'll as
the Capital Transit Co., also are
seeking to abolish present Decent
tickets for riders using one of the
Virginia lines and the CTC.
jointly. Under this arrangement
8 cents goes to the Virginia line
involved and 7 cents to CTC.
This poses the theoretical posi-
billty OF two cash fares on both
the CTC and the Virginia lines
adding up to a 30-cent ride.
Short Rush Hour Mentioned.
Mr.. Mitchell testified yesterday
that the short rush hour for buses
serving the Pentagon and other
points drives up costs.
While he has made no recent
request for greater staggering of
working hours. he constantly has
pointed up our problem" to
Government officials informally.
Mr.. Mitchell said.
His company could operate with
IL fewer buses if the rush hour
situation could be ironed out, the
official said. adding that it is
now necessary to operate such
buses empty one way.
Mr.. Mitchell said passengers
carried to the Government in
stallations constitute 1851 per
cent of the total carried by his
line, but produced only 1872 per
cent Of the revenue.
Debate Develops.
While Mr.. Mitchell was on the
stand, a debate developed among
representatives Of the various in
terested factions.
It came about as Daryl Myse,
Capital Transit attorney, asked
Mr.. Mitchell for details on his
company's operating procedures.
Attorney S. Harrison Kahn, repre-
senting A., B. g. w., said compiling
all figures asked would be a
lengthy business.
Speaking for the W., ". & M.
company. Attorney Manuel J..
Davis said it was unfair for Capt.
tai Transit to seek to establish
its case through A., B. & w. wit
neSSeS.
Examiner Lawton told Mr.. Nit
chell to do the best he could in
getting the requested operational
figures together.

Stowe|| To Be
Temporary
Police Chief

Charles H. StoWell, formerly
chief of the Anchorage Police
Department, accepted the posi-
ton as temporary chief of the
Seward Police Department Sat-
urday. He will take over his
duties as chief this week.
Chief Leonard Clark, who has
extended leave of absence from
Seward, will notify the police
commissioner before Sept. l of
his resignation or return to duty.
In the meantime Chief StoWell
will be in charge.
Mr.. Stowell will be asked to
head up and coordinate the ci-
william defense for the city. He
has had a great deal of exper-
fence in the security and de-
tense of civilian populace. He
was an officer in Chemical War
fare, trained at EdgeWood Ar
senal, Maryland, and was secur-
ity officer at Norfolk, Va, dur
ing the last war.
The Council feels that a man
of Chief StoWell's ability and
experience as chief and coordin-
ator of civilian defense would
give residents a greater feeling
of security and receive the
whole hearted cooperation of
the people.

TO CANCEL GOVERNMENT
LEASE ON CITY LAND

The government lease on city
property on Sixth Avenue and
along the railroad will not be
renewed by the City Council.
The Council decided against
renewal of the lease last night,
on the grounds that the property
is not being used, although it
has been leased for several
years, and normal city expan-
sion in an easterly direction to-
ward the Bay warrants the city
decision to retain the land for
municipal use or sale.
