"When I read about those four
boys drowning here the other day,
II made up my mind my two sons
were going to learn to swim right
now" Mr.. Fortes said.
Mr.. Fortes went to the "Y" Fri
day night to register his sons
and found that the classes were

Frank E. Martin, the "Y'' aquatic
director. who heads the program,
said he'd enroll the younger boy,

The fact that swimming is a
safety measure against drowning
is only the beginning" Miss Will

Radio-Ad Foes Seek
To Block Rehearinq
In Transit Firm Case

Opponents of advertising broad
casts on Capital Transit Co. vehi-
.cles asked the United States Court
Of Appeals yesterday to deny a
petition for a rehearing of its de-
cision declaring such broadcasts
unconstitutional.
The transit company, Public
Utilities Commission and WASH
ington Transit Radio, Inc. recent
ly asked that the rehearing be
held before all nine judges of the
appeals court, instead of the three
who handed down the decision
June /.
In the answer filed yesterday,
Paul NJ. Segal and Harry P. War;
ner. attorneys for Franklin S. Pol
i lax and Guy Martin. winners in
! the appellate decision, contended
(: the rehearing request contained
no new evidence or argument.
The case was argued fully last
February, and it would be i'm
practical as well as unnecessary
to go through the matter again
before the full bench, the attor-
neys said.
Their answer also took issue
with a contention that the court
should have held that passengers
'are without constitutional rights
to ride in transit vehicles"
1T certainly is a novel concept
of our basic law to say that pas
sengers are without constitutional
\ rights to ride in transit vehicles
when Capital Transit operates
under a virtual monopoly in mass
transportation in one of the Ma
tion's major cities, and this by
act of Congress-" they declared
IF paying passengers have nc
constitutional right to ride
might not any public utility re-
fuse its services to those with
whom it disagrees on questions OF
politics or religion, to say nothing
of forced listening to radio COM

of the more dignified group who,
while foregoing the "Sir" in his
billing, insists upon being so adj
dressed by associates on the set.
Not too many years ago title
holding actors were insistent that
they get the complete dignity

Guy Standing and Dame May
Whitty were so treated. and when
C. Aubrey Smith was knighted he
became officially "Sir" on the
credit lines. Sir Alexander Korda.

husband of Merle Oberon. holds
rightfully to that title, but is never
so known professionally. The gay
Beatrice Lille never was known as
Lady Peel.
Warner Bros. spent a small
fortune in attempting to make a
title pay box-office dividends.
When George ArliSs was brought
to this country to head the, COM

iductions, designed to create brand
new patrons among the intelli-

made by Rita Hayworth. But
don't look for it to be released

most fascinating style Of billing:

No, says Columbia. Not a bit
of that. In the first place, such
title capitalization on a royal

that still rocks film business would
only launch new and more vitu-
porous attack on the industry.
Secondly, and probably the
most important factor to the
money grubbers, is that titles don't
impress any one much these days
-worshiping film fandom not ex-
cepted-but it wasn't always thus.
A scant few years back, In TACT,
| it was quite the reverse.
Titles once carried a terrific
impact on Hollywood-an but
ruled lives and policy. Rival
feminine stars staged mad scram-
bles to acquire one by any means
sometimes marriage. Producers
liked to have the foreign nobility
cluttering their lots, regardless OF
whether they could act. 1t gave
them a certain dignity and pres
ltige.
Nobody Kneels.
Today, as Princess Rita is dis

imposing one as hers--doesn't
mean a hang. The wife OF Al1
