Retired Policemen
And Firemen Lose
Fight on Tax Status

A group Of 81 retired District
flremen and policemen yesterday
lost a major step in a court fight
to have their retirement status
changed to exempt their pensions
from Federal income tax.
The u S. Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia held
that "the courts may not now
require the Commissioners
against their will to undo what
has been done and accepted for
so long without objection"
Between 1881 and 1947. the
Commissioners had retired the
men because Of age and length
of service. They received re-
tirement pay of so per cent.
None was retired because OF
physical disability.
The retirement pay received
is taxable. Under the law. re-
tirement pay received as a re-
suit of physical disability is
exempt from Federal income tax.
After the original order Of
the Commissioners, additional
orders were added which de-
clared in the case of each of the

Capital Transit Co. told the

settle for a 33ha-cent transfer

Virginia involving two-carrie1

The company has 1een seek

cents per trip.
An ICC examiner who reviewed
the Pentagon fare situation re-
Gently recommended that the
transfer ride charge be no more
than Is cents.
At the same time, the exam
liner rejected proposals by the
A. B. g. w. and Arnold buslines
which operate to and from
the Pentagon-for a 20 cent
cash fare or 171a-cent token
fare per trip.
Capital Transit said 1t still
believes its 35-cent joint fare
proposal is justified, However.
the company said it took it for
granted that the ICC itself will

the use of 17.5-cent tokens for
the Virginia companies.
Noting that Capital Transit
now has a token rate inside the
District Of 16 cents a ride, it
said the ICC should approve a
33.5-cent transfer rate on the
Pentagon traffic-the sum of the
token rate inside the District
and the token rate which it ex-
poets the Virginia companies to
get.
Capital Transit said it is fully
supporting the Virginia COM
panies in their 20 cents a cash
ride proposal.
Arnold lines also has proposed
a 335-cent transfer rate in lieu
Of the original 35-cent plan.
