sibility, to be headed by Senator

But decision as to the size of the
subcommittee and it's member
ship will be left to the full COM
mittee. Senator Case emphasized.
Should the assignment go to
the Payne Subcommittee on
Business and Commerce, the
personnel would include Chair
man Payne. Senator Barrett, Re-
publican, of Wyoming and Sena-
tor Nicely, Democrat. of West
Virginia. Senator Neely, former
chairman of the full District
Committee, was one of the first
to introduce legislation, years
ago, for a study of public trans
portation in Washington, in
cluding Capital Transit.
Others Not Certain.
Whether any other members of
the District Committee, such as
Senator Morse, Independent, of
Oregon, would be added to the
investigating group remained to
be determined.
A special staff Of experts could
be employed to pursue the tech
nical phases Of the study. Among
the firms mentioned recently was
the management and accounting
organization known as Ernst &
Ernst, whose representatives at
tended District Committee meet
ings. It formerly did some work

Virginia Orders
Ha|f-Cent Rise
In Milk Price
Commission Move
Affects Alexandra,
Arlington, Manassas

The Virginia State Milk Com
mission today ordered a half
cent increase in minimum milk
prices for the Arlington, Alex
andria and Manassas markets.
This will force an increase
from % to 2212 cents in the
price of one brand, Lucerne Milk,
sold in Safeway Stores.
Most other dairieS, however,
have been selling milk in nearby
Virginia at half-cent above
minimum prices since mid-June.
Virginia law permits the sale
above minimum but not below.
New Prices.
The new minimums are:
Twenty-Five and one-half
cents a quart for milk sold in
stores; 24.5 a quart for home de-
livered milk, and % cents a
quart for home deliveries total
ing six quarts or more.
Under terms of the milk COM
mission order. Safeway is re-
quired to raise it's milk price q
half cent beginning tomorrow.
a Safeway spokesman declared.
Safeway had protested the
half-cent increase in store
prices. asserting that milk could
be selling in Virginia at 21.5
cents a quart if there were no
minimum prices.
The increase also was pro-
tested by Delegate j. Maynard
Magruder of Arlington and Har-
rison Mann, nominee to the
House of Delegates from Ar
! lington. .
Requested by Diaries.
The increase was requested by
a majority of the Washington
area dairies, who raised their
milk prices half cent above
the old minimums in June be-
cause of wage increases awarded
to milk drivers.
The dairies said the new mini
mum should be granted to meet
increased operating costs in
cluding the new higher wages.
The request for new mini
NUNS was aired at a milk COM
mission hearing in Alexandria
two weeks ago. The decision
was announced today in Rich
mond.
Even before the increase was
announced, however, the Arling-
ton Public Utilities Commission
asked the milk agency to exclude
Arlington from its price fixing
regulations.
The last milk price increase on
the three markets was in July.
1852. The new order does not
affect producer prices.

School Aide Urges
Building Additions
In Congress Heights

District school officials are
planning to request an addition
to a new school in Southeast
Washington even before the
building is finished because of
increasing enrollments.
The school in question is the
new Draper School at Ninth
street and Wahler place Sc.
Now under construction, it is
expected to be ready for use in
December.
In addition, school officials are
considering seeking funds for an
addition to the Patterson Ele-
mentary School, South Capitol
street near Danbury street S.W.,
and for land to build another
grade school.
ALI in Congress Heights Area.
All the schools involved in
these plans are in the Congress
Heights area south of st. Eliz-
abeth's Hospital. All are for
white pupils.
Norman j. Nelson, first as
sistant superintendent of schools,
outlined the problems in that
area in a letter to members of
the Board of Education.
AS has been expected, Mr..
Nelson said, eight f1rst-grade
classes at the Simon Elementary
School, Fourth street and Mis-
sissippi avenue Sc, will go on
part time this fall.
He said enrolment at Simon
will reach 1850 as compared
with 1873 last fall.
Draper to Help Simon.
When the Draper School is
completed about December, the
part-time classes and overcrowd-
Ing at Simon is expected to be
ended, he continued. Because
of continued home construction
in the area, an addition to Dra-
per is being asked in the next
budget. he added.
At Patterson School, enroll
ment is expected to reach 1880
this fall as compared to 1904
last year. Mr.. Nelson said.
. Although part-time classes
would solve the overcrowding,
Mr.. Nelson said school officials
had decided instead to establish
two additional classrooms in the
lunchroom and two in the audi
torium. This will avoid part
time classes at Patterson this
fall.
I'm the meantime" Mr.. Nelson
continued, consideration is be-
ing given to the securing of ap-
preparations for an eight-room
addition to Patterson School. If
necessary and practical, a sup
Elementary appropriation will be
proposed for consideration by
the Board of Education in order
to move up the completion date
of this addition"
To Avoid Part Time Glasses.
The other school in this area,
Congress Heights Elementary
School, also is crowded. Mr..
Nelson said kindergarten classes
will be consolidated to avoid
part-time.
Under this arrangement, 100
kindergarten children will be ac-
commodated in one classroom
with two teachers. Not more
than so children will be In the
classroom at one time, however,
as the kindergartens meet in
morning and afternoon sessions.
The Board of Education's S
Finance Committee was sched-
uled to meet today to consider
next years budget. School con-
struction items will be of major
interest to the committee mem

Transit Counsel
Hits Estimate Of
Future Income
Says Commission
FuiIs to Consider
Wage Rise in 50

Capital Transit Co. today at
tackled the Public Utilities. Com
missions executive accountant
for not considering a future wage
increase for drivers in his esti-
mates Of the company's future
income.
The commissions hearing on
a fare increase requested by the
transit company continued with
cross examination Of J. w. Falk,
the commission accountant, by
F. Gloyd Await, transit attorney
Mr.. Await went over in detail
testimony presented earlier by
Mr.. Falk.
Mr.. Falk had estimated it
would take 1864, 1874 in additional
operating revenues to bring the
company a return of 6 per cent,
and $500,470 to make it 6A per
cent. This followed testimony by
Fred Kleinman, an official of the
Illinois State Public Service Com
mission, retained by the commits
sion, that 6 to 6A per cent was
fair rate. of return.
100000 Raise Noted.
Mr.. Await asked MIR. Falk if he
had taken into consideration the
100000 wage increase which
drivers are scheduled to get July
l, 1854, under the current union
contract
Mr.. Falk said he had not. He
said his estimates covered a Pc
riod which ended June 80, 1854.
Aren't you being unrealistic?"
Mr.. Await asked.
The attorney went on to say
he did not think it was practi-
cal, when it was known the COM
pany'S expenses would Jump
$700 900, to ignore that fact in
predicting income.
Mr.. Falk responded that he
had to stop somewhere in his
future estimates.
Seeks Fare Boost.
The company is seeking to
raise cash fares to 20 cents, sell
tokens five for 95 cents and elm
mate the weekly pass.
After Mr.. Falk's cross exami-
nation is concluded. the COM
mission will hear testimony
from Edward A. Roberts, head of
Ea New York consulting firm. He,
too, has been retained by the
commission.
MIR, Roberts will outline the
fares which he feels the commits
sion should allow the transit
company. ~
Mr.. Falk, in his earlier testi-
mony. said he considered the
transit ofAp pariy was inc excel
lent financial condition. He made
no recommendation Of his own
on what the rate Of return
should be- however.
