New Effort Due
In Senate on. I
D. {. Measures
Objections Block
Auto Responsibility
And Corporation Bills
By Don S, Warren

Leaders of the Senate District
Committee will make another
effort, probably next week. ~for
Senate approval of two bills
blocked yesterday on a call of
the consent calendar.
They are:
The move to tougher the Dis
trict's automobile financial re-
sponsibility law, in keeping with
the model statute now being
promoted nationally by auto
mobile, insurance and other
safety groups; and
The plea of District officials
and members of the District
bar to modernize the Districts
half-century-old law as to the
incorporation of businesses oper-
ating here.
Little Time to Fight.
The proposed new District bill
on corporations apparently is a
dead duck, unless time can be
found to fight out the issue on
the Senate floor. Such a bill has
been passed repeatedly by the
House.
It was blocked again in the
Senate yesterday by the Sena-
tors from Observation-Disclosures
Senator Williams and Demo-
cratic Senator Frear.
Wilmington, Del, is the head
quarters of many national cor
porations because of Delaware's
liberal incorporation laws.
LANCER Blocks Bill.
Senator LANCER, Republican,
of North DAKOTA. yesterday
blocked action on the tougher
auto financial responsibility bill,
resisting the best arguments that
could be offered by Chairman
Beall of the Public Safety Sub
committee of the Senate District
Committee.
Under present District law a
car owner is not required to show
liability insurance or to post
cash or other securities until
after he has failed to meet an
accident judgment levied by the
court.
Under the proposed new law,
all drivers party to any accident
involving more than 500 dam
age would have to make prompt
reports and. in about a month,
to show insurance or post other
securities up to a maximum of
$25 900, pending court judgment,
in order to keep their driving
permits

Full House Unit
To Get Teacher
Pay RaiseBi||s
Two Versions Await
Action Thursday
In Cleanup Move
By Harold B. Rogers

Pay raises for District school
teachers will be considered by
the House District Committee
next Thursday as the unit plans
to act on as many bills as pos
sible before Congress adjourns.
Before the committee are two
different measures for teachers
pay raises. One, providing a
graduated scale, has passed the
Senate.
It calls for an increase of 10
per cent on the first $4,000 q
year; 8 per cent on salaries be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 and
per cent on salaries above $1,000
The other measure would give
the teachers a 10 per cent pay
raise across the board. Both bills
would exempt the superintendent
of schools, DR.. Hobart M Corn
ing, from any increase.
Both Go to Full Committee.
Both measures have been ap-
proved by a subcommittee and
sent to the full committee for
action.
Another teachers bill to be
considered would authorize the
Board of Education to pay sub
stitutes for teachers who are on
leave without pay.
The full committee may have
before it another school bill if
a subcommittee approves it aft
er a public hearing next Wednes-
day morning. This measure, al
ready passed by the Senate,
would permit the Board of Ed
ucation to pay the teachers an
nual vacation leave money in
a lump sum at the end of the
scholastic year, instead of on a
monthly basis through the sum-
mer.
To Act on Delegate for District.
Three bills for an elected vote
less delegate from the District in
Congress will be before the Dis
trict Committee for action.
One of these, putting the dele
gate in the House, already has
passed the Senate. A second bill,
introduced in the House, also
would put the delegate in tho
House, but the third measure
would place the voteless delegate
in the Senate.
These three delegate bills were
sent to the full committee by
the subcommittee some time ago
without recommendation, either
for or against.
Other Bills Await Action.
Other measures ready for &C
ton by. the District Committee
would bring the District Credit
Unions Act in line with the Fed
eral Credit Union Act and make
certain changes in the charter
of American University here.
Other bills may be ready for
action by the full committee if
District subcommittee should be
called for hearings before the
full groups meeting next Thurs
day.
All measures approved by the
District Committee will be sent
to the floor Of the House for &C
ton on the last District day Of
the House on July II. This sched-
ule is designed to clean up the
work of the House District Com
mittee before the end of thi.
session of Congress for which
the target date still is set al
July 81.

Transit Fare
HedriingsReress
Until July II
Illinois Public Service
Aide to Testify on
Compony's Return

The Capital Transit rate in
crease hearing recessed at noon
today until 10 am. July q.
On that date the District Pub
lie Utilities Commission staff will
begin presenting evidence lead
ing up to staff recommendations
as to whether the company
should get it's requested fare in
creases to 20 cents cash, tokens
five for 95 cents and abolition
of the weekly pass.
The Commission disclosed that
the first witness will be Fred
Kleinman, an official of the Illi-
nois State Public Service Com
mission, who has been retained
by the local commission to look
into Capital Transit's rate Of
return.
Fail to Discuss Hearing.
Today's three-hour session was
highlighted by Commission coun-
sci Lloyd B. Harrison's effort to
dismiss the proceedings. 1t was
a renewal of Mr.. HarriSon's dis
miSSal motion entered late yes
terday. But Commission Robert
E. Mclaughlin again denied it.
Mr.. Harrison objected to the
company'S submission of data
which he termed pinch
ing, picayunish, scraping the
bottom of the barrel" and at best
doubtful.
These items, which represent
ed anticipated increased costs to
the company during the coming
year totaled $38O,000. Under
cross examination by Mr.. Har-
rison, Robert E. Harvey, COM
pany controller, spelled out each
item.
Transit Attorney F. G.. Await
argued that this evidence was
admissablev since it was given as
a result of an earlier request
from the commission chairman.
Among the "picayuniSh" items
to which the commission lawyer
objected were:
$4,000 in higher Diesel fuel
costs; $4,000 to replace wartime
installed steel-saSh windows with
rust-proof aluminium; $4,000 to
prepare traffic reports to the
commission on machines rather
than by hand; $32,250 to mint
new tokens assuming the high
err token rate is allowed $4,000
to repair damage to carbarn and
vehicle windows in the May 26
hailstorm.
New Busline.
Also, $4,000 to open a new
full-time busline to the Riggs
road NE. area as we'll as to
adjust traffic congested bus serv-
ice on the Anacostia- Congress
Heights line; $4,000 for street.
car wheel replacements: $11,500
increase in trust fund allowances
to cover the cost, in part, OF
paying for two consultant firms
present survey of Capital Transit
fare structures and operations
recently ordered by the commits
sion.
Also, 5000 increase in payroll
tax; $1,000 in higher natural gas
and telephone charges; $1,000
higher pay for non-salaried di-
rector's fees for attending meet
ings, and 5000 to conduct a
new safety incentive program
Involving lapel buttons and
other awards-among transit
drivers.
Mr.. Harvey declared that the
company has been notifying the
commission staff of these an
ticipated increases since last
June II. The latest item was
brought to the commission at
tention last Wednesday.
