Senators Plan
Full Inquiry
|0f Transit Co.
District Committee
To Meet Tuesday;
Details Withheld
By Don S. Wnrren

An investigation Of the service
and financing of the Capital
Transit Co., and perhaps some re-
lated matters. will be ordered
Tuesday by the Senate District
Committee, it was indicated last
night.
Members of the committee all
ready have said they want a full
scale inquiry.
Apparently plans have been
carefully drawn, for the Tuesday
meeting is scheduled for HAS
am. normally about the time
Senators are thinking of lunch.
AS one source put it: "It looks
like they think it will not take
long to order the inquiry"
Members yesterday. however,
were withholding details of their
plans. although it seemed likely
that the inquiry would be placed
under the direction OF Senator
Payne. Republican, Of Maine.
who heads the District Commit
tees subcommittee on Business
and Commerce.
Case Helping Plan Inquiry.
Others taking a lead in PLAN
ming the investigation include
Republican Senators Case Of
South Dakota, chairman of the
full committee; Beall of Mary
land, head of a subcommittee
on public safety, and Neely,
Democrat. of West Virginia. for
mer committee chairman.
Committee members have been
talking in terms of an outlay Of
$4,000 for the inquiry and Of
employing experts having no
Washington ties with any as
poets Of the transit situation.
Questions to be settled, some
said. are whether the inquiries
should be limited to the affairs
of the Capital Transit Co., or
whether the field should be
broadened to include other
phases of transportation prob
lens in Washington and In the
Maryland and Virginia suburbs.
Joint Inquiry Discussed.
There has been discussion, too,
of a joint inquiry with the House
District Committee. An invita-
ton to attend to the Tuesday
session may be extended to
Chairman Simpson of the House
committee.
Demands for such an inquiry
were revived when the transit
company recently increased its
annual dividend rate from $l.4O
to $1.60.
Congressional criticism also
has been directed against, the
employment of James H. Flan-
agan, former chairman of the
Public Utilities Commission. as a
transit company vice president,
and to the company announce
ment that it soon will apply for
another increase in passenger
rates.
COmpany's
Members of the Senate COM
mittee have been making a study
of the history of the company
and of critical report submitted
to the House District Committee
last year by James M. Lands,
attorney and former chairman
of the Securities g. Exchange
Commission. Study is also being
given to the replies made to the
Lands criticisms by Mr.. Flana-
gan while he still was head Of
the P. U. c.
There is a possibility that the
Senate Commerce Committee. at
meeting Wednesday, will con-
slider the bill of Senator john
son, Democrat, of Colorado.
proposing the creation of a
regional transit commission to
regulate streetcar and buses be-
tween Virginia, Maryland and
the District. A similar bill. in
troduced by Representative
Hyde, Republican, Of Maryland
is awaiting action by the House
Commerce Committee.

Picture on Pose A. -lS.

annual dinner Of the Federation
of Citizens Associations at the
Mayfower Hotel.
He said giving the Federal
Government full responsibility
for the park and zoo would save
the District $2.6 million a year.
This. he said, would help solve
the Districts fiscal problems.
Calls 1t Uphill Fight.
But the Senator warned that
getting Congress to do much
about the Districts financial
woes would be an uphill fight.
These Senators and Repre-
sentatives have to tell their con-
stituents that they're voting for
more Federal aid to the Dis
trict," he said. And when these
constituents point out that
they're paying more in sales tax
than District residents, or more
in personal property tax, what
can we tell them?"
Senator Case also pointed to
the helpleSsness of District resi-
dents in finding some one to
complain to about municipal
problems.
Urges Representative Council.
He suggested that the present
Citizens Advisory Council be
made more representative of the
people of Washington, either by
election or some other means of
selection by the people, so that
they could report directly to
Congress.
He also said that situations
such as the Payne School strike
would not happen "in an ordi-
nary community where the
school board is elected"
The federation, and the people
OF Washington, he declared,
should do something to drama
tie their problems rather than
merely quote statistics to prove
their point.
He pointed to the case of a
school pupil who came to his
office last week to ask Congress
to do something about the locker
situation at his school.
That boys story made more
OF an impression on me tan all
OF the statistics you can spring
about all of the land here that
goes tax-free under the Federal
government" Senator Case said.
Presented Star Cup.
Earlier, The Evening Star
Cup for outstanding civic work
was presented to Jerome P.
Lynch. chairman of last years
membership campaign.
Rudolph Kaufman II, as
sistant to The Stars managing
editor. made the presentation.
He praised Mr.. Lynch for the
drive, which netted over 1000
new members for citizens as
sociations here.
President Joseph A. Kauf-
mann, called on "our friends in
the halls of Congress to please
work on and on" in behalf of
Washington. BE to us as par
ents to child" he said, though
your only reward is the knowl-
edge of work well done for
Others"
Mrs. Franklin G. SartWell,
chairman of the dinner, was
toast mistress. She recounted
the events of 1910, the year the
Federation was founded. They
were strangely similar to those
OF today, she pointed out, in
Guiding war, labor strife, revolu-
tion and formation of new
states.
Among the honored guests
were the three District Commits
sioners, former Engineer Com
missioner Bernard L. Robinson,
Senator Nicely, Democrat, of
West Virginia, the former head
of the Senate District Commit
tee; Senator Beall. of Maryland;
Representative Kearns, of Pen

son. of Illinois: Representative
Wilson, of Indiana, all Repub-

BroyhiII Launches
Arnold Bus Talks
On Optimistic Note

Representative Broyh1u, Re
publican, of Virginia today
opened negotiating session with
labor and management officials
of the strike-b bound Arnold Bus
Line with a prediction that both
sides were close to an UNDER
standing in the transportation
tieup.
Mr.. Broyhill asserted that my
understanding is that you are not
too far apart" in an opening
statement in his Capitol Hill
Office.
"You are we'll aware" Mr..
Broyhill said, that some Of our
communities have been without
public transportation service for
a month"
The Representative said that
approximately $4,000 bus riders
had been adversely affected by
the failure of both management
and labor to reach a settlement.
Asks Complete Case.
Mr.. Broyhill declared that in
the public interest," both sides
should make every effort to end
the more than month-old strike.
IT request that you now re-
sumo negotiations and that
both sides lay their complete
case on the table for discus
sion," the Representative said.
Yesterday, the strike moved
into its second month. When
union employees walked off the
job, they were asking 30-cent
hourly increase. The company
had offered a Scent increase
and another 4-cent raise in a
year.
Last Friday. Mr.. Broyhill met
with union representatives Of the
$50 bus drivers as a preliminary
to today's face-to-face meeting.
Yesterday, Mr.. Broyhill con-
ferred with company officials at
his Office.
Now on Skeleton Schedule.
On hand at today's session
were Joseph Arnold, president
of the busline, and H. j. Harris,
president Of the drivers union.
Indications were that the con-
ference would be a lengthy one.
The strike began December 10
after negotiations broke down on
wage issues. Arnold buses are
now running on a skeleton week.
day schedule, operated by the
State of Virginia.
Mr.. Broyhill expressed hope
that a partial compromise could
be reached so that full service
might be resumed. Mr.. Broy-
hills role, he pointed out today,
was strictly non-partisan.
II hold no brief for labor nor
for management. Obviously both
sides have merit in certain of
their contentious" the Repre-
sentative told the conference.
In another effort to end the
strike, the Arlington County
Board has asked Commonwealth
Attorney William j. Hassan to
study the problem and suggest
what legal action might be taken
to encourage q settlement.

Football Bribe Case
Defendant Loses His
Legal Maneuver

Louis L. Glickfield. defendant
in the University Of Maryland
football bribe case, today lost his
bid for dismissal of the charges
against him.
Glickfield and his two lawyers
lost on a point of law. They
moved for dismissal last week
at a preliminary hearing in Up
per Marlboro police court before
Trial Magistrate Nita S. Hin
man Crane.
Judge Crane said today she
would announce her decision
Friday. But there is no doubt
what it will be. Glickfield will
be bound to the grand jury and
his new bond will be set.
Site of Game at Issue.
Charles E. Ford of Washington
and Ignatius j. Keane of Hyatts-
vile, Glickfield's lawyers, argued
that the State had not brought
out in testimony last Friday that
the football game in question
had been played in Mars and.
Mr.. Keane recently won a case
in Virginia by a similar maneu-
yer. when the prosecution failed
to bring out in testimony that
the crime took place in the State.
Judge Crane, although with
holding her formal ruling, said
Maryland University is a part
Of the executive department of
the State government and, as
such, the court has the right to
take judicial notice of any sched-
uleS of the school.
Remains Free on Bail.
whether it was in evidence
or not, the court has the right
to call for the schedule and take
judicial notice whether the con-
test was played in Maryland"
Glickfield remained free on
$4,000 bail.
He is accused specifically of
attempting to bribe Tom Co.'S
grove, Maryland center, to hold
down Maryland's winning mar
gin over Louisiana State Univer-
sity last October.
Even if Glickfield's lawyers
had won their dismissal motion,
they wouldn't have gained much.
States Attorney Carlyle Lancas-
ter declared he would take the
Glickf1eld case before the grand
jury no matter how Judge Crane
decided the legal point.
