! p Il
( of the Pleasant. Plains Civic
Association in Northwest Wash
| ington: The Capital Transit Co. s
employment policy against the
hire of Negroes amounted to IAN
international disgrace" He said
it gave the Communist propa-
gandistS extra ammunition.
He asked for a single agency
to control regional transit prob
lens but differed with other wit
nesses by suggesting this be
placed with the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
Charles F. Scott, president of
the East Pines Citizens Associa-
ton, which has an area astride
the new Baltimore Washington
parkway development: 1.-The old
owners of the Capital Transit
Co. had the interests of the peo-
pie at heart. The company then
was not run by bunch of out
SiderS."
He protested bitterly against
abandonment of service to the
East Pines area and neighboring
communities. saying much hard
ship could be prevented if the
company would only extend its
line by as much as l mile. But
he agreed that under a Mary
land appellate court ruling. the
transit company would not be
compelled to give the service
because it had been a losing
service.
Mr.. Scott, and others. argued,
however, that such service should
be given for public convenience
and because it later would de-
velop into profitable service for
the transit company after the
developing areas expanded with
business centers and more homes
James M. Leak, chairman of
the Legal Committee of the Erie
Heights Civic Association, con-
cerned with a part of Southeast
Washington near Fort Stanton
Park: Complained of Capital
Transit service and won a prom
Use from Chairman Payne of the
Senate subcommittee that his
staff would investigate.
Mr.. Leak and Russell L. Pax
ton told of long lines of pros
pective riders waiting to board
buses at Tenth street and Vir-
ginia avenue Sc Many times,
they said, these prospective
straphangers had 10 stand in
rainy or snowy weather until
the bus driver found it was time
to open the door of his bus.
Mrs. Gertrude Evans, speaking
as executive secretary of the
Progressive Party of the District,
called for strict regulation of the
Capital Transit Co. and for
abolition of its policy against the
hire of Negro platform workers,
She said: year after year the
Capital Transit Co. petitions for
a fare increase, which is granted.
while the service of the company
/ deteriorates."
One of the last witnesses yes
terday was John l.. Lincoln,
chairman of the Public Utilities
Committee of the Georgetown
Citizens Association.
He presented a statement
which hit at Capital Transit Co.
policies for declaration of COM
mon stock dividends in excess of
current earnings.
He also hit at persistent at
tempts" by the company to use
king-size buses on Georgetown
streets. He also suggested that
the company might boost it's pas
senger volume by offering re-
duced fares for off-peak shoppers.

Witnesses Give Varied Views
On Transit Problems Here

Half dozen civic grour
spokesmen, all complaining OF
Capital Transit Co. services, Gen.
tered yesterday on protests that
the company is violating Gov
ernment PHILOSOPHERS and actual
economics in failing to hire
Negro operators for streetcarS
and buses.
They won a quick. promise
from Chairman Payne of the
Senate's special subcommittee in'
vestigating regional transit head
aches to call CTC union officials
to explain their case.
Chairman Payne said his group
will ask for the appearance o1
officials of the. local transit union
including Walter j. Bierwagen
union president.
Victor R. DAILY. a member oi
the board of the Washington
Urban League, touched off the
whole subject with a quietly
spoken outline of the issue.
"The current practice of ex-
cluding non-whites from plat
form jobs" he said, "adds i'm
measurably to the costs of man
agement (of the Capital Transit
Co.. and is a basic factor in the
continual demand for increased
fare and the steady curtailment
of transit service.
Overtime Results.
Failure to utilize available
white labor has forced the
company into expensive over
time use of its understaffed
operators. BY the company's
own admission, overtime pay
ments for wages during 1852
reached the staggering total of
$256.0O0. 6
"Still another important item
of cost is the out-of- State
recruitment of platform workers
by the company. For the full
year u953) this item will reach
approximately $4,000"
Mr.. DAILY passed along the
thought that the CTC is not hir-
ing Negroes because of a stand
taken by the union, but he cited
a reversal of similar policy in
Baltimore, in May, 1852, with
"full success and no Incidents"
This was quickly confirmed by
Senator Beall, Republican, Of
Maryland, who said the non
segregation practice in Balti-
more had worked out highly
satisfactorily"
No Bars Nationally.
j. Franklyn Bourne, speaking
for the Federation of Civic AS
Sociations. took much the same
line as Mr.. DAILY, but added
that the international union
with which the Washington and
Baltimore locals were AFFILIATED
had no bars against Negro hire
"Non-diScrimination practice,
also" he said, "have been adopt
ed without incidents in such
cities as st. Louis, Mo-: Indian
apolis, Ind, and Portland, Greg
Other witnesses yesterday;
Grace M. Spiro, executive Sec
retary, Washington Chapter
Americans for Democratic Ac-
ton: "We are particularly ap-
palled by the suggestion that
any rate increase (for the Tran
sit company should be loaded
on the casual transit rider.
1--WE believe that an economic
incentive of a half-fare rate be-
tween the hours of 10:30 am
and $3.50 pm. would not only
increase the utilization of Cap
ital Transit's equipment by the
casual rider, but also would serve
to decrease the peak load re-
quirement."

Rise in Violence
is Noted in Six
Robberies Here
3 Persons Beaten;
Rowing Bonds Of
Juveniles Reported

An upsurge in crime, marked
by increasing violence from row.
ing bands of young hoodlums,
hit Washington last night.
Police acknowledge that the
upswing is seasonal and antici-
pated. but they expressed con-
Germ over the growing vicious
ness in purse snatchings and
yokings.
1t is at this time of the year

a taxi driver, Nick PanoS, 81, Of
Fairfax, Va, who. when ordered
tc leave his biilfold on the seat
before giving up his cab to a
holdup man, pulled a successful
hoax. He merely made the mo-
tlon of placing the billfold on
the seat, got out of the cab and
fled. He saved $50 and police
found his abandoned taxi a short
time later.
Juveniles were blamed in these
cases:
The robbery of Leila Samuel
OF 1925 North Carolina avenue
NE, who lost her purse and
SIT to five colored youths, one
OF whom struck her on the side
of the head with his fist. She

May Be Same Gang.
The robbery of Wilbur w.
Goolsby. $40 Lexington place

of the same gang. He was struck
on the side of the head and gave
up $40. His description tally with
those given in the North Caro-
lima avenue robbery.

av@nue, lost her purse and IS
cents to two colored youths as
she started up the steps at her
apartment house.

taken Miss Campbell home and
had been there short time when
three men entered, beat him up
and took his wrist watch and
$45. He was treated at District
General Hospital for severe head
cuts.
Earlier last night, an armed
bandit got about $65 from
Haje's delicatessen at 220I
Minnesota avenue Sc.

Campus Briefine
BY DEGENE CLARK, JR.

The Carver Monarchs stumbled
over the Nogales Apaches 1926
stretching their victory streak to
20. The Apaches went all-out try
ing to revenge their defeat of last
year and ended up one touchdown
and extra point behind. 1t was a
hard and rough battle with both
teams drawing an average of so
yards in penalties.
The band and the pom-pom girls
put on a beautiful exhibition at
half-time.
Tonight the Monarchs are up
aaginst a tough team of eleven
representing Flagstaff. Carver has
not ever played Flagstaff before,
and isn't accustomed to the wealth
er there; neither are the Carver
boys expecting this game to be a
pushover. Flagstaff has a IL con-
ference record and a 4-3 all-game
record. Despite all statistics, the
Monarchs will go all-out once
again to bring the bacon home.
The band and the pom-pom girls
will also make the trip to Flag
staff.
Bobbie Butler, Girls League
president, and Degene Clark, stu
dent body president, made trip
last Wednesday, to attend a Stu
dent Government Conference in
Redlands, California.

Getting
Along
By LAUREN WHITE

NEW YORK, (GlobaD - Dr.
Ralph Bunche stated his personal
creed last week in regular fea-
ture of the Herald Tribune which
is called, "This I Believe" Dr.
Bunche's philosophy is well worth
reviewing, and he attributes the
development of it to things he
learned at his grandmother's knee.
He refers affectionately to her as
Mana" DR.. Bunche says, in part:
'I hold that it is right to believe
in ones self, but it is wrong ever to
take ones self too seriously. For a
keen sense of personal values and
the humility which accompanies a
balanced perspective are indispen-
sable to congenial adjustment to
life in society.
l believe in the worth
and dignity Of the individual, and
that no man can be happy within
himself if he ever surrenders his
dignity and self-respect.
II have faith in people, in, col
lectively. their essential goodness
and good sense; granted that that
there will be individual mavericks
on every human range.
81 believe that men can learn to
live together in harmony and
peace, in the international commu-
nifty as in domestic communities
and am unfalteringly devoted,
therefore, to the historic effort OF
the United Nations toward this
end.
Il believe, also, in looking al
ways on the brighter side of things;
in the ability of right somehow
ultimately to prevail; in never
pressing time or fate; in taking life
philosophically and in stride-both
the good and the bad-and 1 have
had an ample measure of both.
"These are some, at least, of my
beliefs. They have been tried and
! tested in the crucible of living.
They are, for me, imperative bea-
cons without which life would be
utterly lacking in direction or
meaning"

The Family
RoundtobIe
BY ELIGIVA BALL

Dear Miss Ball:
I am 25 years old, have a profess
sional job making good salary
and have been married five years.
Tom and I met while in college in
our home town and we had many
good times together. At the end of
our Junior year, mother decided to
move to Florida for her health
She wanted me to go, but Tom and
I felt we could not be separated
and we were married Toms fam
lily cut off his allowance. Mother
paid all my college expenses and
Tom and 1 took part-time jobs.
Mother also gave us her fur
nished apartment and for two
years we were very happy. After
graduation, got job, but Toms
field required graduate work. Dur
ing that year and half Tom had
four jobs and the loafing periods
became longer each time. Now he
claims people do not appreciate
him nor do they want to pay ade-
quately for his services.
About year ago, Tom started
drinking heavily. Sometimes he
stays away for three or four days
and is very abusive when he comes
home. Often when I go home after
work, things have been moved, but
he contends he has not been there
and that 1 am crazy. Various ar
ticles around the house move or
disappear so fast that I am almost
afraid to go home.
Lately, girls have been calling
at home for Tom. He has told them
he is single. Twice, upon coming
home drunk, he has Dragged about
his many women friends.
I have become a nervous wreck
and sometimes think I am really
crazy. My superiors are synpa-
thetic, but think 1 should get a di-
vorce. What do you think? I hope
you Call IlCIp IIlS.
Lois, Wash, D. c..
Dear Lois:
You surely have had your share
of difficulty in your life with Tom.
He sounds as if he has not yet
grown up. Perhaps you loved him
so much you ignored many warm
ing signals during your courtship.
But that is in the past, and we
must act now for the present and
future.
Tom is sick and will have to be
persuaded to get medical help. A
pSychiatrist's aid must be enlisted
to help Tom realize and face his
prob lens. You also need help to-
ward seeing your problems objec-
lively. It would be advisable to talk
with your minister or marriage
counsellor in your city. The coun-
sellor would be more impersonal
and make it easier for you to talk,
too.
