-Four Young Bandits
Strike Quickly at Two
Stores, GET $1,000

Robbery Squad detectives to-
day were searching for four
youthful bandits. who last night
held up two liquor stores within
seven minutes and escaped with
more than $4,000 in cash and
bonds.
Detectives said they believe
both stores. only eight blocks
apart. were held up by the same
bandits. The escape car in both
cases was a large gray sedan
and the descriptions of the men
Tailed closely. it was said. The
men carried knives and one of
them held a gun.
The four colored bandits first
held up the liquor store of Sam
DeLlsi at 1881 North Capitol
street. The intruders tore out a
wall telephone. Five customers
were forced to lie on the floor.
Complies on Threats.
Mr.. DeLisi at first refused to
obey the commands of the
bandits. but he did so when he
was threatened. Police said he
told them the bandits took
about $1,000, including bonds,
from a box which contained rec
ords of cigarette sales and re-
tanned the keys.
The quartet fed east on L
street. police were informed by
ditto Lennito. clerk who also is
Mr.. DeLisi's nephew. Mr.. De-
Lisi ran after the men and as
they fled down an alley, he fired
at them with a 12-gauge shot
gun.
Within seven minutes. four
men entered the Bloomingdale
Liquor Store at 1920 First street
NV. and forced five persons to
lie down behind counter. They
were Mrs. Ruth Yalom, whose
husband owns the store; Andrew
A. Levinrad, 80, a clerk, and
three customers.
$1,000 Taken.
Mr.. Levinrad said two Of the
four men had knives and the
other two had guns. They took
more than $1,000 from the cash
register.
Learning of the second hold
up. Chief of Detectives Ed
gar E. Scott ordered all avail
able police cars and men to stop
any car carrying from three to
five men answering the bandits
description. Some suspects were
picked up in the 1900 block of
Seventh street NV, and also in

freed.
All between 20 and %, the
men were of medium height,
except one who was six feet tall.

Slight Increase
In Transit Fare
Seen in Ruling
Mclaughlin Prepares
Details Of Decision
Slated Wednesday
By John w. Stepp

The Capital Transit Co. rate
case decision probably will be
handed down next Wednesday.
Chairman Robert E. Nc
Laughlin of the District Public
Utilities Commission said the
final details of the ruling were
ironed out in an all-day confer
ence yesterday with his COL
leagues, Brig. Gen. Louis w.
Prentiss. Engineer Commission
er. and Utilities Commissioner
Robert M. Weston.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said it re-
mains now only to mimeograph
and assemble 75O copies Of the
decision, which will doubtless be
bulky. owing to the quantity of
material presented during the
long hearings.
The hearings adjourned well
over three months ago, and the
commission has been deliberat-
ing since.
Slight Increase Expected.
AS the time for decision drew
near, 1t appeared more and more
likely that the commission would
grant the barest minimum of
increases. While rate increase
grants over the years have
almost invariably been well un-
der the amount asked, observers
pointed to an even stronger
deterrent affecting the present
case: Unfavorable publicity to-
ward Capital Transit generally
and the current Senate subcom-
mittee investigation of public
transit here.
The latter focused closely on
Capital Transit and its financing
policies since the Louis Wolfson
group took over the company
and began declaring substantial
dividends.
Although commission officials
were close-lipped over the pros
poets. indications were that the
regulatory body would order in
stitution Of a weekly permit to
supplant the present $2.40 week.
ly pass. The permit would cost
in the neighborhood of rs cents,
with a 10-cents-per-ride charge
to riders. The present pass is
good for an unlimited number of
rides.
Seek to Abolish Pass.
While company officials have
long been opposed to the weekly
pass, contending its privileges
are abused by patrons who lend
it Unfortunately. Capital Tran
sit disfavors the weekly permit
as well. In its rate boost petit
ton, the company asked outright
abolition Of the pass.
1t appeared likely that the
company would get, moreover,
only a one. or possibly. two-cent
increase over the present IT.
cents cash fare. 1t requested an
increase to 20 cents.
And where the company asked
that the charge for tokens be
raised to five-for-95 cents. over
the present f1ve-for-75 cents, in
dications were that the utili-
ties commission is disposed to
rase this charge by only five
cents.
The commission, all of whose
members were newly appointed
to the job last year, are ex-
pected to rely heavily on the
testimony of its staff and of two
outside experts" it retained for
the proceedings.

Broyhil|Asks
Study Of EStreei
Site for Tunnel
Seeks Cost Dutu on
Project as Solution
To Bridge Bottle

Representative Broyhill. Re-
publican, of Virginia is asking
the District to look into the
feasibility and cost of a tunnel
under the Potomac River in
stead Of a bridge over it at the
E street site.
Such a request is being made
to Brig. Gen. Louis w. Prentiss,
Engineer Commissioner. The
lawmaker said he was forward
ing his suggestion in the form of
a letter to Gen. PrentiSS.
This latest development in the
Battle of the Bridges" came as
Mr.. Broyhill said he had aSsur-
. ances that House District SUBJ
committee hopes to hold hear
ings on the bridge controversy
late this month.
Mr.. Broyhill has two bridge
bills pending. one for the E
street site, which would cross
over Roosevelt Memorial Island.
and the other for one from
Jones Point below Alexandria to
the District.
Might Cost Less.
Information reaching him, Mr..
Broyhill said, indicates it would
be worthwhile to make an en-
gineering study of both the feasi-
bility and the cost Of a tunnel
instead of the E street bridge.
Some of his information. he said.
shows that a tunnel might cost
about the same, or even less,
than bridge.
Mr.. Broyhill said the basis for
this possibility was a suggestion
he had received from Oscar
Beasley. construction engineer
with Offices in the Kass Build
ing. He said Mr.. Beasley had
suggested a new construction
technique which would reduce
cost estimates for tunnel con-
struction.
But regardless of the cost. he
said, he thought the tunnel idea
deserves more study than it has
had.
The major reason the tunnel
idea has not been pushed harder
is the cost factor. however.
The E street bridge site is
strongly indorsed by the District
Commissioners. but is opposed
by the National Capital Plan
ming Commission and others.
Much opposition is based on the
claim that a bridge over the
island memorial to the late
President Theodore Roosevelt
would violate the provisions
under which it was donated as
q sanctuary of wild life.
Broyhill Seeks Accord.
The planning commission still
is pushing for a bridge from
Reaches Run in nearby Virginia
across East Potomac Park and
into the District.
Mr.. Broyhill has been making
strenuous efforts to get COM
promise between warning fac
tions on one site, or to get sup
port for two different bridges
Hearings on the bridge con-
troversy are to be held by the
House District Subcommittee on
Public Service. Streets, and
Traffic. 1t is headed by Repre-
sentative Kearns, Republican. OF
Pennsylvania.

To most folks, Type c is a most

AS for Type D. it generally is
found in a small mob, or gang.
This type gains courage from
numbers, and seeks not only to
interfere but to entertain. Rep
resentatives of this type often
consider themselves gourmets.
They are almost always to be
found clustered around the man
of the house when he undertakes
to employ his own method of
making spaghetti, bouillebaisse,
or beef Stroganoff.

of garlic?" asks one bald-headed
member Of the kibitzing squad.
That's too much, I'd say. It's

This is followed by much laugh
ter from the other kitchen kibit-
zers. They dig into the spa
ghetti with spoons to taste and
criticize. The poor host is told
he needs more salt, less tomato
sauce. That's there's too much
spaghetti for the amount of
meat. That there's not enough
garlic. That the spaghetti is
over cooked. "Too soggy," says
one. "You can't overlook spa

In this case, the host is only
under temporary attack, how
ever. After his meal is prepared
and consumed, he can go back
to playing his usual role as the
final offender we will discuss
