Mr.. Harvey's testimony that the
transit company might not re-
main under private ownership
If the fare increase were not
granted.
Mr.. Await objected. He said
the testimony did not contain
threats but only facts about what
had happened to transit COM
panies in other cities and facts
about other companies being
forced into bankruptcy.
Mr.. Harvey eventually said the
company was in favor of private
ownership "at a proper return. "
At another point after Mr..
Harrison had gone through a Sc
ries of complicated questions, he
accused Mr.. Harvey of being an
evasive witness.
Mr.. Harrison also questioned
Mr.. Harvey about the effect on
traffic congestion downtown of
cutbackS in transit service. Mr..
Harvey conceded it would con-
tribute to the congestion.

U. 5. Employees Ruled
Eligible for Arlington
School Board Duty
Virginia Supreme Court
Reverses Decision in
Suit Initiated by Green
By Alex R. Prestons
StoV Stoff CovresnoodanEll

RICHMOND, Va, June g.
The Virginia Supreme Court to-
day ruled that employees of the
Federal Government in Washing
ton may hold Office on the Ar
lington County School Board.
Affected are Chairman Bar
nard Joy and Erwin r. Draheim
and Warren Cox, board men,
bers.
The high court reversed a de-
cree from the Arlington Circuit
Court which upheld a suit by
Attorney John Locke Green.
The decision, written by JUS
tice John w. Eggleston, was
unanimous.
Last September, the high court
upheld a decision by Arlington
Circuit Judge Walter T. Nc
Carthy in banning Federal en-
ployes generally from holding
certain State and local Offices.
Three Federal workers lost their
seats on the Arlington County
Board as a result.
Reverses Earlier Ruling.
Today's decision reversed a
ruling in January by Judge S.
DuVal Martin of Lynchburg
Corporation Court, who heard
the school board case in Ar
lington.
In its decision today, the high
court referred to several of its
previous findings including one
in the case involving the Arling-
ton County Board.
In that case. the court upheld
the conStitutionality Of a law
dating back to 1888 placing a ban
against Federal employees gen.
orally holding certain State and
local Offices
In that same earlier decision,
the court held invalid an excep-
tion to the Federal employe ban,
applicable to Arlington County
based on its population.
1t was another exception to
the 1888 ban, however, which the
court upheld today. This was a
section which in effect permits
clerks and employees of the Fed
eral Government engaged in the
departmental service in Wash
ington" to serve on school boards.
Ban Held Unreasonable.
The court recalled that in
the County Board case. I'VE held
that specifically classifying and
excluding from its effect Gov
eminent employees who hold pub
lie Offices in a county having a
population in excess of 300 in
habitantS per square mile :
are unreasonable, unnatural AMI

The explosions were near

The first at 1O:40 pm. (9:40

The second blast, at 10:47, was
near the main gate of the press

the capitol. At least two guards
were hurt there.
The explosions shook the area
and lit the night sky with an
intense white glare-almost as
if the bombs were some type of
heavy incendiary. The one OUT

Transit Aide Figures Fare Rise
Would Reduce Riders Is Pct.

A Capital Transit Co. official
today estimated the company
would lose about 13 per cent of
its passengers if it got a fare in
crease.
This testimony came as Rob-
ert E. Harvey, company con-
troller, was cross-eXamined by
Lloyd B. Harrison, counsel for
the Public Utilities Commission.
The commission is hearing the
transit company's request for
higher fares.
Capital Transit has asked that
bus and streetcar fares be
boosted to 20 cents cash, five
tokens for 95 cents and the
weekly pass be eliminated.
Mr.. Harvey said he expected
passengers to drop 26.3 million
a year if the new rates go into
effect. This is 14.5 per cent re-
duction in the number of riders
now paid for by cash, token and
passes, he said. It amounts to a
13 per cent reduction of the COM
pany's overall operation, includ-
ing Maryland lines.
In spite of this loss of Gus
toners, the transit company is
contending the new fares would
bring in an additional $2.1 mil
lion annually and give the COM
pany a return of TIT per cent.
The hearing was marked by
frequent angry exchanges be-
tween Mr.. Harvey, Mr.. Harrison
and F. Gloyd Await, transit at
torney.
One series of questions by Mr..
Harrison about the transit COM
pany's interest in maintaining
private ownership. led Robert E.

Intrusion Of Privacy

FRANK Coe, former $2O,00O-a-
year secretary of the Interna-
tional Monetary Fund, refused
today to tell investigating Sena-
tors whether on a recent trip to
Mexico he discussed the smug-
Cling OF arms to the Communists
IN Central America"
His refusal, based on grounds
That the answer might tend to
1ncriminate me-" came at a pub
lie hearing before the Senate in
vestigations subcommittee during
which Senator Mccarthy, Re-
publican, of Wisconsin, an
nounced that the Government
has closed the United States bor-
ders to travel by Mr.. Coe.
Senator Mccarthy, also Just
back from Mexico, was reported
to have told U. S. Government
agents he has found some evi-
der1ce that guns are being smug-
gled by airlift from Texas to
Panama for shipment to South
American revolutionaries.
Coe Kept Under Subpoena.
Mr.. Coe, who also has refused
to tell the subcommittee whether
ne ever engaged in spying for
the Communists while working
for the Government and later
for the Monetary Fund, was ex-
cused after brief questioning but
was kept under subpoena for a
possible later appearance.
Senator Mccarthy CHALLENGED
Mr.. Goes right to take refuge
in the constitutional protection
against forced self-incrimina-
ton, because Mr.. Coe had first
sworn that he was not aware
OF having done anything illegal
on the trip which he said car
ried him to Canada, Nassau,
Cuba and finally to Mexico.
Mr.. Coe refused to give any
details about the trip, or to name
persons with whom he talked.
Sees Blacklist Attempt.
Such questions, he said, con-
Stituted IAN intrusion into my
privacy" and an attempt to place
on an employment blacklist the
names of those he contacted.
Refusing to reply, he said, MY
conscience would not permit it,"
When Senator Mccarthy an
nounced the State Department
has alerted border agents to re-
fuse to allow Mr.. Coe to leave
the country, Mr.. Coe cried that
the order was Outrageous"

Douglas Writes Opinion.
AS for the validity of the 30
year-cld enactment recurring
eating places in the District to
provide service for any well-be-
haved person, irrespective of
race or color. the opinion written
by Justice Douglas stated:
I'VE conclude that the Con-
gress had the authority under
Article l, section 8, clause II of
the Constitution to delegate its
law-making authority to the Leg
lslative Assembly of the munic.
lpal corporation which was
created by the organic act Of
1871 and that the rightful sub
jectS of legislation within the
meaning of that act was as broad
as the police power of a state so
as to include a law prohibiting
determinations against Negroes
by the owners and managers Of
restaurants in the District of
Columbia.
The courts opinion, in which
Justice Jackson did not take
part, reversed a decision last
January by the U. S. Court of
Appeals for the District of CO.
lumbia. The Appeals Court held
that anti-segregation laws passed
in 1872 and 1873 by the Districts
old Legislative Assembly could
not be enforced now.
Case Originated in 1850.
The test case originated in
July, 1850. when a restaurant
operated by the John r. Thomp-
son Co., Inc, on Fourteenth
street near New York avenue
NV, refused service to Negroes.
The District Government,
later supported by the Justice
Department, asked the Supreme
Court last February to- outlaw
racial segregation in Washing
ton restaurants. District officials
also asked the high court for a
ruling that would clarity legal
aspects of home rule.
In fact. Chairman Case of the
Senate District Committee, de-
lighted with news of the ruling.

of his committee to act

the election of a city council
with a presidentially appointed
mayor, to legislate on city mat
terS, subject to amendment or
