Special Court Weighs
Board Challenge 10
A. B. & W. Fare Boost

A special three Judge Federal
court yesterday took under ad-
visement a suit by the Arlington
County Board against a Scent
fare increase, granted one year
ago to the Alexandria. Bancroft &
Washington Transit Co.
The suit was argued yesterday
in Federal District Court in Alex
Iandria before Judges Armistead
Dobie Of the United States Fourth
Circuit Court of Appeals, and
Sterling Hutcheson and Albert v
Bryan of the Eastern District OF
Virginia.
Attorney Malcolm D. Miller,
representing the Arlington County
Board, and Thomas Proctor of
Harrington, who joined in bring
ing the suit, contended the Inter-
state Commerce Commission had
granted the fare increase on the
basis of the bus company's needs
and had not taken into considera-
ton the passengers.
Says Costs Not Separated.
He argued that the ICC also
failed to require separation of in
trastate and interstate operating
costs in determining whether the
interstate fare increase of No
vember, 1850, was reasonable.
Mr.. Miller asked the court to
declare the ICC order approving
the fare increase invalid because.
he said. no standard was used to
determine whether the new fares
were reasonable.
Challenges Board Action.
John H. D. Wigger, Justice De-
partment attorney, replied to Mr..
Miller that the ICC had to deter
mine only that the new rates were
reasonable and then to approve
them. Mr.. Wigger said the pas
senger interest was considered
carefully when the ICC deter
mined that the company's operat-
ing expenses were reasonable and

Marathon ParIeys
In Stevedore Strike
Ended in Deadlock
BY the Associated Press

" WE "sSSese'SA 'SSS
NEW YORK, Nov. Narration
negotiations between warning fac
tions of AFL longshoremen ended
in deadlock early today, sending
the Gripping East Coast dock
strike into its 18th day.
After sounding an earlier note
of optimism during the 11-hour
session, Merlyn S. Pitzele, chair
man Of the New York State Media
tion Board, announced that the
meeting had broken up.
Extraordinary measures must
be considered" to end the dispute.
he declared.
The mediator said he would
talk by telephone with Washing
ton and Albany officials and then
decide whether to certify the case
to State Industrial Commissioner
Edward Corsi. .,
Would Have Subpoena Power.
Either Mr.. Corsi or Gov. Dewey
could set up a fact-fnding COM
mittee with powers Of subpoena
to inquire into the wildcat walk
out.
The strike, by dissident mem
bers of the AFL International
Longshoremen's Association, has
lparalyzed the vast port CT New
York and the Boston water front.
Only military and naval cargoes
have moved with any regularity.
Non-strikers did succeed, how
ever, in avoiding pickets at the
French Lines pier and began un-
loading the liner Liberte which
docked early this morning.
The strikers, who claim to rep
resent 10000 of the IS, 900 dockers
working ports from Maine to Vir-
gnia. demand the scrapping of a
recently negotiated lila agreement
with Atlantic Coast shippers.
| The rebels are headed by John
| (Gene) Sampson. who is opposing
the leadership of LA President
Joseph P. Ryan.
Request Refused.
Today's meeting ended after Mr..
Ryan refused Mr.. Simpsons re-
quest that Mr.. Ryan reopen wage
contract negotiations with the
employers, the New York Ship
ping Association. Mr.. Ryan re-
peatedly has refused to meet this
demand.
Mr.. Ryan contends his union
voted for the new pact by more
than a 2-to-1 margin. The rebel
group claims the LA balloting
machinery is not representative
of the rank-and-f1le vote.
| The current pay, with the new
contract officially in force. is $2.10
an hour, a 10-cent hourly boost
over the old pact. The wildcat
dockers are demanding a 25-cent
hourly pay raise among other
benefits.
Mediators on Job.
Meanwhile, Federal mediators
are trying to head off a threatened
strike of 10000 AFL ship officers
set for midnight tomorrow. A
walkout by that group. the AFL
Masters. Mates and Pilots Union.
would seal off shipping from
Maine to Texas.
The union officers are dead
locked with 40 shipping firms
over pension and welfare terms
OF their contract. Like the dock
ers, the officers have a contract
with the shippers but are demand
ing a reopening. Wages are not
an issue.

Virginia ABC Board
Continues Breakdown
On Public Drinking

A breakdown on dance halls and
restaurants that permit customers
to bring their own liquor is being
pushed in Virginia, in line with
the State ABC Boards newly an
nounced policy on public drinking
Revocation hearings were held
in Alexandria yesterday for seven
establishments, including four
charged with permitting patrons
Ito drink liquor. The cases were
taken under advisement.
|, w. w. Duncan, ABC inspector
for Alexandria, Arlington and
Fairfax, said at least a dozen more
establishments in nearby Virginia
are believed to permit and en-
courage the bring-your -own-liquor
policy,
He warned that all can expect
visits from his Office until the
State policy of no public whisky
drinking is strictly adhered to.
Mr.. Duncan pointed out that es-
Establishments face loss of wine and
beer, licenses if they are caught
permitting patrons to drink
whisky.
Setups Available.
Until the recent State ABC
breakdown, it has been common
practice in Virginia for patrons to
bring their own liquor and buy
setups at dance halls or restau-
rants. Virginia law permits the
sale Of whisky only at State ABC
stores.
The new policy does not apply
to club-type licenses. The ABC
Act provides that members of an
organization holding club-type
license issued by the board may
keep and drink whisky on the club
premises.
The seven revocation cases
brought up in Alexandria yester-
day by Mr.. Duncan were heard
before Howard Siple, ABC Board
hearing officer. He will make rec
concentrations to the State ABC
Board, which will announce its
decision in Richmond later.
Places and Charges.
The seven establishments up for
license revocation. and the charges
against each are:
Diamond Cafe. 236 and 238
North Henry street, Alexandria,
charged with permitting consump-
ton of whisky. permitting intox-
icated persons to loiter and con-
sumption of beer by intoxicated

lishment while intoxicated.
Citizenship at Issue.
China Inn, Inc, 2774 South
Randolph street, Arlington. It
was charged that some officers of
the corporation are not Ameri-
can citizens. Mr.. Duncan said it
is not the policy of the ABc Board
to license a corporation unless
all officials are citizens.
