Beverley Urges Law
On Street Statesmen

Alexandria Mayor Marshall ].
Beverley today called for adop-
ton of an ordinance to regulate
door to-door statesmen in the
city. Mayor Beverley said he
had received a request from the
Alexandria Retail Merchants

the ordinance should require
f1ngerprinting of all door-to-
door statesmen and provide other
regulatory measures.
He said he had asked City At
torney V. Floyd Williams to draw
up the proposed ordinance.
The retail merchants in their
request recalled the recent mur-
der of taxicab driver in Arling-
ton by two men who were sup
posed to be door-to-door sales
men. Arlington County is about
to consider an ordinance for
regulation of door-to-door sales

Eastern Shore Seen

SOLOMONS ISLAND,
Md, Sept. 3.-Here's a con-
versation piece you can toss
around for several thousand
years:
A scientist at the Chesa-
peake Biological Laboratory

there won't be an Eastern
Shore, much Of one anyway.
DR.. r. v. Truitt says the
area eventually will be COW
cred with water-several
millenia from now. That's
science for several thousand
years.
The reason, he says, is
that the great polar caps
are melting, causing the
oceans of the world to rise
one-seventh of an inch per

Night Session
On Fares for
Public Slated
Would Allow Wider
Testimony by Users
Of Capital Transit

The Capital Transit Co. rate
increase hearings, which have
been dragging on for weeks, will
go into at least one night session
next week.
Chairman Robert E. McLaugh-
lin of the District Public Utili-
ties Commission said he will an
nounce the date either today or
tomorrow.
The reason for the rare Sched-
uling, Mr.. Mclaughlin said, is
the commissions desire to give
the public as much opportunity
as possible to state it's views.
Workingmen, he noted, can't
spare the time to show up at day.
time sessions.
The commission heard from
three daylight representatives of
the citizenry yesterday.
d. C. Purchase Suggested.
John v. Case. vice president of
the Mid-city Citizens Associa-
tions, declared the city should
either subsidize Capital Transit
or buy the outfit outright.
Subsidies. however undesir-
able" Mr.. Case said, "have been
necessary in the case of farm
ers and certain industries.
We have but one or two choices
to make in the case of Capital
Transit-Subsidies or municipal
ownership"
The civic delegate quoted
from an editorial in The Star
which stated, in connection with
the three-cent-per- ride school
fare, that the losses incurred by
the company from this source
should be borne by the general
public, not just by transit rid
erS.
Fare Reduction Proposed.
A perennial transit hearing
witness, Benjamin Cesario, a
barber of 555 Fourteenth street
Sc, yesterday declared that
"the way to get customers is to
reduce fares"
Company Attorney F.. G. Await
asked Mr.. Cesario why he raised
the price of haircuts in the last
few years. The barber thought
a moment. "It's the high cost
of living" he said.
But, Mr.. CeSario added, with a
disparaging wave of the arm to-
ward transit officials in the au-
dience: These gentlemen here
have all got cars"
Limited Pass Suggested.
Mrs. Peter P. Schmidt of 1888
Rhode Island avenue NV. rec
commended a Funniest" weekly
pass be adopted by the COM
pany. This would accommodate
the movie going, symphony
going, card-playing crowd at 81
per pass, effective only between
the hours of z and IL pm.
Mrs. Schmidt also thought
a 25-cent weekend visitors"
pass would be nice and that
blind persons should be entitled
to free rides.
Despite her suggestions, the
witness testified that transit
service here is the "best" she
has experienced among five
other cities, San Francisco, Los
Angeles, Minneapolis, st. Paul
and st. Louis.
