At lunch one day with his old
friend Mr.. Martin-they had
worked together years ago in the
law Office of Maj Gen. William j.
wild BilD Donovan-Mr. Pollak
suggested that the street car and
bus broadcasts raised important
constitutional legal points. Mr..
Martin agreed. He didn't like the
broadcasts either, he told Mr.
Pollak, and would join in a fight
to outlaw them.
The PUG had scheduled a pub
lie hearing after receiving numer-
Gus protests against the broad
cast. Mr.. Pollak filed a petition to
intervene on behalf of himself
and Mr.. Martin.

tion on both sides of the Capitol

A public hearing on proposals
to make sweeping revisions in the

|tinued. will be opened by the Dis
trict Commissioners at 2 pm. to-

curbs and make substantial
changes in the present act.
| Waits recommendations.
Representative Harris, Demo-
crat. of Arkansas, subcommittee
chairman, said his group would
await the commissioners recon-
mendations before acting on the
problem.
Meanwhile the Senate District
Committee has received a copy Of
Mr.. Cogswell's proposed bill and
report. Committee counsel Ger
hard P. Van Arkel said last night
that Chairman Neely will be asked
to introduce a rent control
measure.
The District appropriation bill
for the next fiscal year, beginning
July l. will come before the House
Appropriations Committee Tues

Said to have been cut to about
I$137 million by the Bates appro-

ltrict budget is understood to be
barely in balance with prospective

during recent executive hearings
that new taxes might be necessary

After the PUG upheld The legal
Iity of transit radios, Mr.. Pollak
took annual leave for legal re-
search and wrote the briefs which
finally were ruled on by the Court
lof Appeals.
Mr.. Pollak estimated that he
has spent about 80 days leave, not
including his days off ana hours
spent at night, working on the
case. He said his out-of pocket
expenses have been about 5000.
After the case reached District
Court the Transit Riders Associa-
Ition offered to defray all expense
of printing and other court costs
Mr.. Palmer estimated the associa-
ton spent between $4,000 and
$4,000. The money came from
contributions and dues. Contri-
buttons ranged from small change
to more than $500, Mr.. Palmer
said. The association now has
about 500 members.
| Bought An Automobile.
Mr.. Palmer, who lives at 800e
Eastern drive, Silver Spring, Md.
bought an automobile after he
was unable to avoid the transit
broadcasts. He has a radio in his
car, but says he considers it q
distraction and uses it only rarely
Mr.. Palmer says he has two
radios at home and enjoys occa,
sional radio musical programs
He feels relaxed when he know
that he can turn them off am
time he wants to. On the bus
he finds sometimes that the broad
casts are not particularly annoy
ing. but at other times they ar,
most offensive. His major con
cern is with protecting the con
stitutional right of Americans t
refuse to listen to anything the,
don't want to hear, he declares
4 Mr.. Seelig, who lives at 800
Sixteenth street NV, has foun
that he can close his mind agains
the transit broadcasts any tim
he wants to, but insists that it i
an effort which he should not b
called on to make. He listens t,
broadcaSts on his home radio.
j Mr.. Palmer said the member
ship Of Transit Riders Association
represents persons from all walk
OF life who are united in thei
opposition to transit radio. Tht
association has held three meet.
ings since it first was formed. An.
other meeting will be called soor

In Washington yesterday there
was rejoicing among a small band
of rugged individualists whose
determination not to be made
"captives" dealt a body blow to
the rapidly growing transferable
industry.
Their glee stemmed from a
potentially historic decision of
the District Court of Appeals that
commercials on radio programs
broadcast on street cars and
buses violate the constitutional
rights Of passengers.
The rejoicing was greatest in a
group numbering less than 500
with an average age of about so.
They are the members of Transit
Riders Association who financed
the legal battle that reached the
Court of Appeals and may eventu-
ally go to the Supreme Court.
I'VE are not many" happily
exclaimed Claude N. Palmer, &C.
president of the association, "but
after all there were not many
in the Boston Tea Party either
Sees Recognition of Rights.
Just as the Boston Tea Party
led ultimately to the Bills of
Rights, so will be the Court OF
Appeals decision lead to recogni-
ton Of IAN entirely new area OF
human rights" Mr.. Palmer de-
lclared.
In the forefront of the militant
500 who battled for the principle
that in a free country no one
can force them to listen to broad
casts they don't want to hear. are
three lawyers, two trade associa-
ton executives and a real estate
man.
The attorneys are Franklin S
PollaK, 49. of 1888 Twenty seventh
street NV; Guy Martin of 3117
Woodley road NV, and Paul M
lSegal of 2750 Brandywine street
NV. Mr.. Pollak is a justice De-
lpartment attorney. Mr.. Martin
and Mr. Segal are in private prac-
tice.
The Trade Association execu-
tives are Mr.. Palmer and his as
sociate, r. A. Seelig. vice presi-
dent Of Transit Riders Associa-
ton. Both are officials of the
United Fresh Fruit and Vegetable
Association. The fifth man is

Use OF Leghorn as a supply port
