Arnold Line Estimates
Loss Of S17,m1 if
Fare Rise Is Denied

An accountant for the Arnold
bus line testified at an Interstate
Commerce Commission rate
hearing today that the company
would lose $17,661 for the year
ending next February unless a
requested rate increase is
granted. The line runs between
Washington and nearby Vtr-
ginia.
T. Roy GrubbS, Richmond &C
countant, based his estimate on
revenues and expenses for March
and April, 1853. His deficit FORE
cast takes into account a pay
increase effective November %.
If the fare increase is granted,
Mr.. Grubbs' testified the COM
pany will earn an additional
$201.4 40. This will enable the
firm to pay the wage increase,
lease 10 new buses, and have q
profit of $64,296.
However, Mr.. Grubbs said,
these totals do not take into
account higher gasoline prices
and the re-opening Of three sta
tons, both Of which went into
effect after the March-April,
1858, period. g
The busline, known officially
as the Washington, Virginia &
Maryland Coach Co., is propos-
ing an increase to include the
breaking down of the present
20-cent zone into two zones, one
20 cents and one Is, and scent
cash increases in its other four
zones.
Tokens would reduce the cost
of any ride out of the first zone
by 212 cents.

Aim
For Harmony
In Maryland
DR.. Byrd Heads List
As Peuce-Mukers
Plan for Campaign
By J. l. Michuel
Stor Staff CORRESPONDENT

SIoI Siofr correspondent
BALTIMORE. Aug. 10.-Mary-
land Democratic chieftainS have
lit the peace pipe and are puff
ing out a long-range plan they
hope will unite their warning
tribes and insure victories in fu-
ture elections.
Democrats have 81 registra-
ton majority in the State, but
bitter party dissensions have
swept away this advantage and
brought crushing defeats in 1850
and 1852.
Another such war, leaders and
rank-and-f1le fear, may keep the
party out of power for several
more years.
Slate Being Composed.
With that in mind, peace
makers are making up a slate
around which they believe all
factions can be persuaded to
rally next year.
DR.. H c. Byrd, president of
the University of Maryland,
heads the list as candidate for
governor. George p. Mahoney
is envisioned for State Controller
and j. Millard Tawes would be
appointed Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles. The schemers have
not yet decided on their choice
for State attorney general.
Under the plan, Mayor DALE
sandro of Baltimore would run
for the United States Senate in
1856 and former Senator O'Con-
or would accept an influential
post, such as national commit
teeman.
Two other State figures, for
mer Gov. Lane and former Rep
resentative Sasscer would serve
as party counselorS.
Hope to Avert Fight.
BY this scheme, its proponents
hope to prevent a primary fight
for the governorship between
DR.. Byrd, Mr.. Mahoney, MIR.
Tawes and Mayor D'Alesandro,
with Mr.. O'Conor, Mr.. Lane and
Mr.. Sasscer as possible added
starters.
All have been urged to run for
governor but none has publicly
declared his intention of doing
so.
DR.. Byrd has said, however,
that he expects to leave his post
in January, 1855, the month the
next will be inaugurated. He is
generally regarded as an unde-
clared aspirant and the leading
one so far.
Mr.. Mahoney is currently
building political fences through
out the State, ostensibly on his
own behalf for the governorship.
But some informed sources be-
lieve he will throw his strength
behind DR.. Byrd and announce
for the controllership. They base
this belief on reports that DR..
Byrd helped mastermind Mr..
Mahoney's 1852 campaigns and
thus has reason to expect
reciprocity.
Agreement Reached.
A political rapprochement
has been reached between DR..
Byrd and Mr.. Tawes. Both have
said SO publicly, although neither
has disclosed its nature. But
most leaders do not believe that
DR.. Byrd and Mr.. Tawes will be
primary opponents.
Mayor D'AleSandro can be
persuaded to wait until 1856, the
peacemakers say, partly because
Of political difficulties he is en-
countering in the city.
Former Gov. O'Conor is not
at this time considering a come
back try. usually reliable sources
said. And former Gov. Lane
would not agree to run unless as
sured there would be no primary
fight.
Mr.. Sasscer has fatty declared
that he does not intend to run
| for governor. But he has not
closed the door that may lead
him back to a seat in the House.

Why Grow Old?
DeveIopGood
Reading
Speed
By josephine Lowmon

Yesterday I wrote about what
a great source of pleasure and
entertainment reading is. It is
also great source of informa-
ton, self-education and self-im-
provement. There are books
about virtually everything you
wish to study. There are many
which teach you to paint or draw.
There are all sorts of cook books,
general and specialized. A re-
cent one gives more than 200
recipes for infra red broiler cook
ing and rotisserie.
Many people find reading a
chore because they have never
learned to read easily and eff
GENTLY. According to the New
York Reading Laboratory, which
Specializes in teaching people to
read better and faster, here are
some principles of better read
ing.
l.. Make an inventory Of your
present reading skills. How well
do you know and recognize
words? Your difficulty may
come from limited vocabulary.
One of the best ways to i'm
prove your vocabulary is to look
up words you do not understand
when you see them in print, or
hear them on the radio. You
can also play a game with some
one else in which each one Of
you takes an alternate page and
reads the words to the other.
The one who listens must give
the meaning of the words which
are read. You keep scores.
2. Train your eyes to take in q
bigger bit when moving across
the printed line. This is very
important. You should reduce
the number Of pauses your eyes
make. since the only time you
get the meaning is when your
eyes stop and transmit the visual
impression to the brain. II you
read word by word, 1t is difficult
for the brain to translate the
disconnected units. Respond to
ideas. not to single words.
8. Learn to adjust your read
ing speed to the condition of the
reading material. You should
not expect to read serious arti-
Gle on economics at the same
rate you would light summer
fiction.
4. Take advantage Of chapter
and paragraph headings, head
lines and the like, as signposts
to the content and meaning of
what you are reading. This is
one of the shortcuts used by
those who do reading and writ
ing for a living.
5. Learn to recognize words
accurately. If you confuse split
with split the meaning will not
be clear.
Anyway, If you always passed
up this fascinating activity or
If you used to read but somehow
have gotten out of the habit, be-
gin now. 1t will bring you con-
tentment and entertainment and
therefore add to your health and
personality.

For fancy evenings you have
many choices in silhouette, fab
ric and color. In short dresses
for important holiday parties
there's variety in each category.
Silhouettes that are slim but
softly handled will perhaps IN
troduce the most excitement to
your wardrobe-your audience
should be impressed also. Soft
ness stems from the soft dra-
matte side pouff; the overskirt
wide and f1ared in the back but
stitched down at the sides show
ing a sheath underneath; the
sheath with fantail inset of
crisp net ruff1es or flares! Wider
skirts, many with controlled full
ness. are slim over the hipline
for a simmer body or torso look.
Luxury fabrics such as satin
with new dull surface, peau de
sole. taffeta, lace, velvet and bro
cadeS insure a dreSs-up elegance
in these new clothes for late day.
Many with separate jackets have
equally handsome Innings so that
they are attractive when thrown
back over your chair. Wonder
full trimmings add to the lovely
fabrics, a look that suggests they
are almost heirloom pieces. In
tricate uses of passementerie or
ribbon highlight bodices and
skirts. Frequently the entire
dress is re-embroidered, notably
some of the exquisite laces which
lend themselves so well to such
treatments.
. AS f1attering as the lines and
fabrics are the beautiful colors
that will be worn this holiday
season. The sheen of white
satin is still q favorite in fash

"If you have something that
needs to be done," the old say
ing goes, give it to the busiest
person you Knowles more apt
to get it DONE" The same thing
holds, it has been my experience,
with women who need to make
extra money.
Women with lots of time on
their hands and no responsible
tiles never seem to get around
to it. But the busy and over
worked women can always fit in
that one money-making chore.
Mrs. B. r. is one of my favor
ite examples.
She has four children, the eld-
est of which is IL. Her hus-
band is an invalid, with a tiny

Verdict for Railroad
Reversed in Sailors
Crash Into Box Car

The jury should have been al
lowed to determine a question of
negligence involved in the coll
lision of an auto with a box car
on railroad tracks, the U. s..
Court of Appeals for the District
of Columbia held yesterday.
The ruling reversed a deci-
sion by the U. S. District Court
for the District of Columbia and
sent the case back to that court.
The collision occurred on Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad tracks
running along K street In the
industrial part of Georgetown on
July 81, 1948.
$S5,OOO Asked.
Three naval petty officers, oc-
cupants of the auto. were in
jured. One of them, Omar A.
Salty, is still hospitalized. ac-
cording to Attorney Douglas A.
Clark. who had asked a total of
sos, 900 damages for the three.
The other two injured were
Carl N. Peigh, now on submarine
duty, and Buel c. Griffin, now
stationed in Arlington.
At the trial, it was brought out
that the box car had been parked
for unloading the day before the
accident. A light had been placed
on the car but, at $3.50 pm,
when the accident happened, it
was raining and visibility was
poor. The sailors admitted they
had been drinking a small guam
tity of beer. Mr.. Griffin, who
was driving on the tracks. ap-
piled his brakes when the box
car loomed In front Of him, but
his auto skidded and the crash
followed.
Directed Verdict.
The lower court directed a
verdict for the railroad on the
ground that no proof had been
shown of negligence by the rail-
road and that there was evi-
dence of negligence on the
sailors part.
But the appellate court held
that a jury should have been
able to decide whether the box
car was sufficiently well lighted
and whether reasonable care
had been used to warn Of its
presence.
The opinion was written by
Judge George T. Washington
and concurred in by Judges Will
bur K. Miller and Bennett
Champ Clark.
Judge Clark, while concurring,
rendered a stronger opinion. He
said the railroad certainly had
no authority to convert the high
way into an auxiliary freight
yard or to erect a huge semi
permanent obstacle directly in
the line Of traffic"

Allied Chiefs Are Briefed

By the Assoeioted Press

BONN. Germany. April TO-
Allied air experts today briefed

on their talks with the Russians
over avoiding incidents in the
air corridors to Berlin.
In a 21a-hour discussion at
the British High Commissioners
Office, the experts outlined new
Russian proposals designed to
avoid such occurrences as the
recent shooting down Of an un-
armed British bomber with q loss
Of seven lives.
An allied spokesman refused
to confirm or deny reports that
the Russians had proposed to
abolish the present three 20 miles
wide corridors over their zone
and substitute a single, much
wider one.
The Russians invited the Brit
ish to talk over means of avoid
ing future air incidents. Last
Tuesday the talks were broad
ened to include American and
French air experts, resulting in
the first four-power get-together
in Germany since 1949.
