CITY Planning
Second Fringe
Parking Lot
Acts as Transit Co.
Okoys Amphitheoter,
With Csc Bus Ride

Plans for opening of the city's
second fringe parking lot have
been ordered drafted by Brig.
Gen. Louis w. Prentiss, the En-
gineer Commissioner, he dis
closed last night.
Capital Transit Co. has modi-
fed its earlier opposition to use
OF facilities at the Carter Barron
Amphitheater as a fringe lot, he
said, and is proposing to set up
express bus service for Is cents
ride.
The buses, he said, might run
from the amphitheater parking
lot-which lies in Rock Creek
Park west Of Sixteenth street
near Colorado avenue NV
down Thirteenth street, with the
first stop at M Or L street.
Orders Plan Drawn.
Discussions with the company,
the general explained on "Re-
port to the People" over Radio
Station WWDC, were held Fri
day, and he has instructed Mil
ton M. Rodes, director of the
Motor Vehicle Parking Agency,
to work up a plan for the Pub
lie Utilities Commission which
must approve busline routes and
rates.
Gen. Prentiss, as well as being
a District Commissioner, is one
OF the three members of the
Public Utilities Commission.
The 25-cent fare suggested by
Capital Transit compares favor
ably with other special express
service fares. but is higher than
regular charges.
The regular fares are is cents
each for tokens Give for 80
cents), 20 cents cash, or Is cents
for q weekly permit plus 10 cents
a ride, including transfers.
90-Day Trial ut Lot.
These are the fares being
charged during a 9O-day trial
period for express, rush-hour
service between the downtown
area and the city's first fringe
parking lot at South Capitol
street and Firth Sterling avenue.
They were imposed with ap-
proval of the Utilities Commits
sion and followed the company's
free service during a 30-day trial
period-after which patronage
of the free-parking facility
dropped more than a third.
Some hope for expanding use
of the South Capitol street lot
now running between ITO and
207-was voiced by Gen. Prem
tiss. One encouraging sign, he
said, was the appearance of
some new faces" at the lot Fri
day after distribution Of circu-
lars advertising the facility.
He warned that Capital Tram
sit can continue to give good bus
service "only so long as they
have sufficient patronage"-and
that patronage is not now suf-
ficient to fill all available ca
pacity.

ON THE OCEAN-It has been
suggested that I answer this
question: How do passengers
amuse themselves during ocean
voyages?"
A proper answer to that ques-
ton has many angles. but I may
start with walking on the deck.
Anyone who is seated in a deck
chair may see a dozen persons
go by in a minute or two. The
passengers walk singly or in
pairs, or in groups of three or
four. They seem to enjoy breath
ing the salt air.
On this vessel (Which I now
call the J.V.O. for short) there
are playrooms for the younger
children. Older boys and girls,
as we'll as adults, take part in
several forms of sport. including
pingpong.

of pingpong. I have found that
slight rolling of the boat takes

Heroic steps must sometimes
be taken to make the cards do
their best job. In today's deal
Mr.. Champion opened the six
of spades against Miss Brash's
three no-trump contract. Dummy
and Mrs. Keen played low.
Miss Brash eyed all of that
power in dummy's club suit and
knew she would have to use it
if she expected to bring in nine
tricks. But she knew her smart
opponents would lay off the first
club lead and win the second,
thus cutting communications
with dummy in the club suit
itself.
The clubs would be dead, then.
unless some other entry to the
board could be found. The only
other suit containing any SEM
blance of an entry was the spade
suit. It looked like Mr.. Champion
had the ace of spades and if so
dummy's queen would provide
the needed entry. But only if
Miss Brash played correctly at
the first trick.
She had to avoid any false
sense of economy. She did. In
stead of making the natural
play of winning with the nine,
she went right up with the king
of spades.
She then knocked out the ace
of clubs in two leads of the suit,
won Mrs. Keen's diamond return
and led the ten of spades. Mr..
Champion played low, hoping she
would go wrong, but she played
the queen from dummy and it
held. She was then able to cash
four more clubs for total of
eleven tricks on the hand.
If the first trick had been won
"cheaply" with the nine of
spades, Mr.. Champion could have
shut out the dummy forever.
Later, when the king of spades
was led he could let it win. Only
when the ten of spades was led
would he play his ace. Miss
Brash would then have tkaen one
club trick instead of the five sts,
actually got.
