Capital Transit Is Set
To Ask Fare Boost
And Cut in Service
PIeu for Increase to
20 Cents and End Of
Weekly Pass Expected
By Donald B. HodIey

The Capital Transit Co. must
ask for another fare increase
and curtail "unprofitable" serv-
ices further. its annual report
stated today.
The most often speculated-
upon figure in a fare increase is
20-cent individual fare but E.
c. Giddings. company vice pres
ident. branded such a figure as
pure speculation. The same re-
ports said tokens would be raised
to 1712 cents and the weekly
pass eliminated. The changes
would be asked in so days.
Mr.. Giddings said that a wage
increase of 5 cents an hour, ef-
fective July /. would add to COM
pany costs. and that a fare in
crease would be necessary. but he
declared it was impossible at this
time to guess when the company
would act or how much it would
ask.
Reports Drop in Income.
Pointing out that consolidated
1852 net income of ST, ,059,322 fell
short of the 612 per cent return
on the rate base allowed by the
Public Utilities Commission, and
was 26 per cent below the previ-
Gus years net, the annual report
declared:
This places your company in
the unfavorable position of un-
doubtedly requesting another
fare adjustment before many
months pass" The report also
declared that further curtail-
ment of company schedules will
be necessary because of a con-
tinued drop in patronage.
Referring to a fare increase
last fall, it conceded that higher
fares might have been a factor
in the continued decrease in pas
SengerS, but it did not discuss the
possible effect of service curtail-
ments on patronage.

men-a lieutenant and two SER
geants-landed on a runway used
by British military planes at
Thalerhof airport on the out
skirts of Graz, in the British oc-
cupation zone.
Grinning and evidently pleased
with their early morning flight
of lis miles from the old Slovak
city of Bratislava, the three
asked British soldiers who i'm
mediately surrounded their
plane: "Is this Graz?"
Plane Placed Under Guard.
Told that it was, they asked
for asylum. They were taken
into custody by British military
authorities. Their aircraft - a
German "Arado 96" used as a
training plane for fighter pilots
was TAXED by British airmen
into a closed hangar and placed
under guard.
The three airmen were ten
tatively identified by Austrian
police as 1t. Vladimir Krman,
"a; Sergt. Gustav Molnar, 26,
and Sergt. Josef Fleischhacker,
Is.
They said they left a Czech
air force training school at Pies
tany. near Bratislava, early this
morning. In bright, cold. sunny
weather, they flew across the
Russian occupation zone of Aus
tria, passed near a Soviet jet
fighter base at Wiener Neustadt,
and then crossed into the British
zone. They apparently saw no
Russian planes.
In Formal Uniforms.
The three airmen were dressed
in formal uniforms instead Of
flying clothes. All carried loaded
pistols.
They appeared fresh. shaved
and rosy-cheeked.
Austrian reporters and cam
eramen were forbidden to ap-
proach the flyers. The Thaler-
hof airport is used for both
civilian air traffic and British
military planes.
The Czechs made perfect
landing on military runway
British Air Force officers imme-
diately refused permission for
photographs or interviews. It
was believed likely that the air.
men would first be questioned
by military authorities before
they are permitted to hold a
press conference. One British
official said it may be two weeks
before the press can talk to
them.

baSsador George Wadsworth was
construed as official notice that
American fighter planes in West
ern Germany will attempt to
shoot down any Czech planes
crossing the border.
The note demanded an apology
from the Czechs for shooting
down an American jet fighter
over Western Germany near the
Czech border Tuesday by So
viet-made MIG-15.
It also said the United States
expects immediate compensa-
ton" for the destroyed plane.
Reject CountercIaim.
Following up an immediate
protest made to Czechoslovakia
Tuesday over the shooting, the
new note fatty rejected a Czech
counterclaim that two Ameri-
can planes involved in the Incl
dent were over Czech territory.
The note was made public by
the State Department here soon
after Ambassador Wadsworth
delivered it in Prague.
The note related that two
F-84 American jets were sent
up to investigate after allied
radar detected unidentified air
craft.
The American planes, the
note said, met two MICS ap-
preaching from Czechoslovakia.
One of the MICS shot down one
Of the F-84s, which crashed in
the United States zone of West
ern Germany. The pilot para
chuted to safety in the American
zone.
Say MICS Crossed Line.
After asserting that "the
American aircraft did not cross
the Czechoslovak border at any
time" the note said:
"The MIG planes crossed the
border into the United States
zone and attacked the United
States aircraft.
"The Czechoslovak govern
ment's attempted explanation of
this provocative incident is a
Justification of facts designed to
cover it's responsibility for this
ineXcusable action"
Since the incident, the Defense
Department has indicated that
hereafter American pilots will
shoot back if attacked and, if
unfriendly aircraft invade West
ern Germany, will attempt to
force the invading planes to land
with gunf1re if necessary.
COuched in Diplomatic Terms.
The note to Prague today put
this attitude in diplomatic Ian
guage.
"The United States authorities
in Germany" it said, will take
the measures necessary to pre-
vent any further violations of
the border of the United States
zone by Czechoslovak aircraft
and any repetition of the pres
ent incident"
It added:
1.-The United States Govern
ment calls upon the CzechoSlo-
yak government for an express
sion of regret for this irrespon-
sible action and an assurance
that no such incidents as this
will occur again.
1T furthermore expects that
the CzechoSlovak authorities will
take prompt disciplinary meas
ures to insure against wanton
actions of this kind in the
future.
Compensation Asked.
"Since the Czechoslovak gov
ernment is clearly responsible
for the destruction of the Unit
ed States aircraft shot down,

expects immediate compensation
for the value of the property
destroyed"
The Czechs were reminded of
promise they made in 1851

to keep 20 kilometers away from
