Increase in Fares
Delayed Until July Il

Arnold line fare increases,
scheduled to go into effect Sum-
day, have been postponed until
July IL, the Interstate Com
merce Commission announced
today.
The petition, submitted by the
bus company last month, calls
for the creation Of a new zone,
a scent cash increase, for most
zones and a higher token rate.
Five protests have been made
to the ICC, according to a bus
company official. He said COM
plants were made by the Arling-
ton County Board, the Arlington
Civic Federation, the Fairfax
Civic Federation and two private
parties.
Although no public hearing
has been scheduled yet, it is most
likely one will be held before
the fare increase goes into effect.
The company proposes to split
the present Zone / into two
zones. The limits Of the new
Zone l would run roughly from
the intersection Of Military and
Marcy roads to Glebe road and
Lee highway. thence along Glebe
to Wilson boulevard. to George
Mason drive and Arlington bou-
levard, and from there to the
intersection Of Glebe road and
Columbia pike.
At present, tokens are sold at
the rate of six for 81, an average
Of 1928 cents each. The COM
pany plans to raise the charge
to six for $1.05. eliminating the
use Of tokens in the first zone.
Fare in the first zone would be
a straight 20 cents. Each zone
after the first would receive q
f1ve-cent raise.

Hatchett Fires Blast
At Stanley, Calls Him
'P|ayboy Millionaire
BY the Asseeiotsd Press.


A man who quit Virginia's
Democratic primary for Governor
has loosed a broadSide at candi-
date Thomas B. Stanley, tabbing
the former member of Congress
a "playboy millionaire"
w. Russell Hatchett, former
town manager of Virginia Beach,
took to radio and television to
accuse Mr.. Stanley Of conduct
ing a campaign consisting of
"the singing of hollow phrases,
ignoring the people, and talk
ing only to the professional
politicians" ~
He said if Mr.. Stanley is
elected Governor, his campaign
manager. Sidney Kellam, will be
cracking the whip in Richmond
for the next four years." Mr..
Hatchett added:
II do mot believe the people
of this great State want any one
cracking the whip. least of all,
this political boss"
CHARGES Absenteeism.
n He said Mr.. Stanley was6ab-
sent from Congress so per cent
of the time in 1919, and asked
who would run the day-by- day
affairs of the Governors Office
during Mr.. Stanley's absence.
Mr.. Hatchett, who dropped out
of the primary campaign two
months ago and announced his
support of State Senator Charles
r. Fenwick, Mr.. Stanley's only
opponent, said he had tried to
find out where Mr.. Stanley
spent his time during his alb
Sences from Congress.
He said he thought he had
the answer in a magazine article
which listed the Henry County
native as being the owner of a
cottage at exclusive Hobe Sound
in Florida.
II have no objection to Mr..
Stanley having a million dol
lars" Mr.. Hatchett said. But
wonder if this doesn't explain
a lot of things about his alb
sentee records"
Speaks in Richmond.
Meanwhile. Mr.. Stanley moved
his meet-the-voter campaign
into Richmond today for a
triple-talk performance as the
World War II Memorial project
began to take on some of the
stature of an issue.
Mr.. Fenwick was on record
that he thinks a better memorial
plan could be developed from
further public discussion. The
controversial legislation at pres
ent calls for a 81 million veter-
ans affairs Office building and
shrine in Richmond.
Mr.. Stanley said he thought il
was up to Gov. Battles admins
tration to decide what to dc
about it. Gov. Battle, who was
out of the capital and not avail
able for comment, has indicated
however, he feels the matter
might well be one for the next
administration.
