New Owners Deliberately Aim
To Cut Service, Critics Charge

to hire experts and report back
to Congress within a year. But
as yet no legislation has been
introduced to bring this about.
Mrs. Franklin g. Sartwell, rep
resenting the District on the Inter-
Federation Council, composed Of
citizens from the District, Prince
Georges and Montgomery Coun-
ties in Maryland and Fairfax and
Arlington Counties in Virginia,
declared:
Proposes Combining Activities.
II think the Congress should
look into the matter Of combining
all Of these public transportation
activities under one general board
of directors to save money in the
present duplication. That is what
/ have been pushing for right
along.
But do think it will need some
careful study by Congress before
this can be done.
II feel it is better to have Con-
gresS consolidate all the trans
portation facilities in the metro
politan area as soon as possible
for the benefit Of the citizens. y
Mrs. Edward B. Morris, presi-
dent Of the Ft. Davis Citizens
Association, and Federation secre-
tary, pointed out that it is now
impossible to use CTC passes In
a large section of Southeast. be-
cause there is no service there.
The new owners have made no
move to supply it. she observed.
The Washington, Marlboro and
Annapolis Co., which serves South
east. and CTC seem to have an
agreement to stay out of each
others territory and not COM
plete directly, she charged. She
said the Public Utilities Com
mission should remedy this situa-
ton.
Thousands of residents in South
east-1in Ft. Dupont, Fairfax VII
lage, Ft. Davis and Bradbury
Heights, are deprived of the use
of the CTC weekly pass enjoyed
by other Washing tonianS. Mrs.
Morris declared.
There is a need for some over
all authority that would eliminate
such things as one company fight
ing or entering into agreements
with another and depriving resi-
dents of service to which they
should be entitled with in the
District" she said.
"CTC service is inconvenient for
most people east Of the Anacostia
River. because it is necessary te
transfer at Barney Circle to an
other bus or street car to gel
downtown. Conditions at Barney
Circle are intolerable during rush
hours. with four lanes of busse:
and two lines of street cars.
There is no express bus service

FREDERICK, Md, April 21.-
Women can best safeguard de-
mocracy by faithfully performing
their traditional and most i'm
lportant" duties as wives, mothers
and homemakers. Senator Mar
garet Chase Smith, Republican, Of
Maine. told the 500 girl students
of Hood College TO-DAY.
Speaking to 5000 persons in the
brilliant sunshine that flooded the
schools outdoor Hodson Theatre,
Senator Smith said, however, that
there is for young women broad
concept of service based on inde-
pendent thinking.
| Such thinking. she declared,
"can be translated into action
through articulation at the polls,
in public forums and in everyday
life"
Senator Smith, the only woman
ever elected to both the Senate
and the House, was the principal
speaker at the afternoon session
of a three -day convocation which
had as its theme 1.-THE Defense OF
Democracy"
Strong Religious Note.
The convocation. biggest event
in the 58-year history of the col
1lege set amid green fields at foot
lof the Blue Ridge Mountains, will
end at 4 pm. tomorrow with q
ivesper service.
A strong religious note has
dominated every phase Of the
varied program, chiefly because
the school is affiliated with the
Evangelical and Reformed Church
which has started q drive to raise
$3.50. 900 to expand campus facili-
ties.
Earlier yesterday, Defense Sec
Iretary Marshall urged the students
to learn to appreciate the basic
principles of freedom. Then the
| lf1ve-star general raped the
knuckles of Hoods and all other
American faculties with an as
Isertion that teachers distinctly
and very dangerously" have failed
to make clear what these things
really mean.
Critical Period of History.
"At this time" said Secretary
Marshall, when we are passing
through one of the most critical
periods Of the history of civiliza-
ton. it is important that we un-
derstand the people of other lands
who can neither move nor speak
freely and are never free of mortal
fear. .
Awarded Doct0rate.
Secretary Marshall was intro
duced by Senator O'Conor, DEM
ocrat Of Maryland. After his ad-
dress he was awarded an honorary
doctorate of literature by DR.. An
drew g. Truxal. president of the
college.
A similar degree was awarded
the generals wife, Katherine Tup-
per Marshall, in a ceremony DR..
Trlxal said had been kept top
secret, except for the generals S
full connivance."
DIR. Truxal also conferred an
honorary doctorate Of humanity
on Senator Smith. who was intro
Iduced by her colleague, Senator
Butler. Republican of Maryland.
Gov. McKeldin, in a welcoming
address, briefly reviewed the early
history of the State and the
