City transportation
Has Headache With
New Transit Fares

The District Commissioners
learned today that the new
streetcar and bus fares charged
by Capital Transit Co. are going
to run up the city's own trans
portation costs quite a bit.
The city used to buy about 300
passes each week for use by Dis
trict employees. such as inspec-
tors. nurses and messengers.
Schuyler Lowe. director of
general administration, told the
Commissioners all departments
had shifted to tokens because
the new 75-cent weekly permit,
plus 10 cents a ride, created an
impossible bookkeeping problem
for the city.
Too Much Bookkeeping.
IF we handed out dimes every
time permit was used. we'd
have to set up a new bookkeep-
ing department in the city," Mr..
Lowe complained.
District Purchasing Agent Ro-
land Brennan revealed that he
had gone to the transit company
with a plan whereby the city
would purchase permits and a
strip of 10 tickets for 81. The
plan was rejected.
Called Discriminatory.
The transit company. accord
ing to Mr.. Brennan, said such
special tickets would be discrim-
inatory to other businesses and
would wreck the company's own
bookkeeping system.
Special school tickets. costing
3 cents. are used now. The
transit company has a system
of blowing them out of streetcar
and bus cash boxes by air and
weighing them to get a total.
Special tickets costing 10 cents
for the District government
would ruin this system of &C.
counting.
Mr.. Brennan was instructed
by the Commissioners to try to
work out some arrangement with
the transit company.

Embassy Dairy Suit
Over Inspection Rules
Reinstated by Court

A suit by Embassy Dairy, Inc,
to prevent the District Govern
ment from applying its licensing
and inspection'rules to one phase
Of the dairy's activities was or
dered reinstated today by the
U. S. Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia.
The dairy's complaint had
been thrown out of court by Fed
eral Judge Matthew F. MCGUIRE
in December. 1852.
The dairy had contended that
the regulations requiring all milk
imported into Washington to
come from District-inspected
farms should not apply to milk
not sold here but brought in only
for processing and sale else
where.
The milk at issue in~the case
came from farms inspected by
the State of Maryland and after
processing here was sold to mill
tary installations outside the
District.
Judge MCGUIRE held the milk
act was plain in requiring that
the regulations be obeyed.
Today the appellate court said.
while refusing to grant an in
junction: ". The prohibition
of milk act section) does not
extend to the importation of milk
which is sold outside the Dis
trict ="
The court declared that if the
District commissioners ARE to
succeed in sustaining their inter-
probation. they must show in the
further proceedings upon remand
of this case that it is realistically
necessary to effectuate the acts
purpose of protecting the health
of District consumers :"
The court said there are
number of factors which must
be considered in determining
whether a preliminary injunc-
ton should be issued. 1t declared
that it did not find circumstances
unusual enough to depart from
the normal practice of allowing
the District Court to make these
determinations.
Accordingly" the opinion
said. Embassy must pursue its
request for preliminary in
junction in the District Court -"
The case was then ordered re-
manded.
Attorney Nicholas J. Chase,
representing Embassy. said he
would press court action to allow
Embassy to sell non-District-
inspected milk inside as we'll as
outside the District. He con-
tended the milk regulations are
arbitrary.
Currently Embassy is selling
District-inspected milk here. 1t
has temporarily dropped it's out

milk.

Serious Crimes
Drop "a Pei.
Here in Month
Spencer Cites Use
Of More Policemen
And Sitter Penalties

Serious crimes diminished
here during January, but mis-.
demeanors increased slightly
during the same period, Com.
missioner Samuel Spencer dis
closed last night.
He paid tribute to general po-
lice efficiency. the new system Of
sitter penalties for felonies,
which was editorially advocated
by The Star. and the plan to
keep more policemen ION the
beat" as being contributing fac
tors to the decrease in serious
crimes.
Commissioner Spencer brought
all this out during the telecast
Of Your Commissioners Re-
port" over WMAL-TV, The Star
station. With him on the pro-
gram were Commissioner Renah
F. Camalier and Brig. Gen. Louis
w. Prentiss, Engineer Commits
sioner. The program was mod
Grated by Bryson Rash. News
paper reporters interviewed the
Commissioners.
Serious Crimes Down "a Pct.
Quoting figures from Police
Chief Robert v. Murray, Mr..
Spencer said the total of serious
crimes during the past month
was 1904. as against 1870 for
January, 1861 decrease of 466
or "a per cent.
He added that the figures for
January, 1854, were the lowest
since 1949, with the exception Of
February, 1851.
There were 933 misdemeanors
last month, as against GOT for
January, 1858.
However. Mr.. Spencer pointed
out that many of these mis-
demeanors arose from gambling
raids. with multiple arrests.
Gambling arrests in January.
1854, he said, amounted to 1913.
as against Sc for the first month
of 1858.
This means the police are on
the job" the Commissioner de-
clared. "The picture is quite
encouraging"
Gen. Prentiss took the oppor-
tunlty to pay special tribute to
the Boy Scout movement as
being a major factor in COM
batting juvenile delinquency.
Explains CTC Snow Fund.
Gen. Prentiss also discussed
the plan to pay the Capital Tran
it Co. some $4,000 for clearing
snow off the streets. The cues
ton was brough up as to whether
this was not public obligation
OF the transit firm.
Gen. Prentiss explained that.
under its franchise. the company
is obligated to clear only the
Streetcar tracks. Nothing is said
OF bus routes. He said the Corpo-
ration Counsel's Office has ruled
that. since clearance of bus
routes also served taxicab drivers
and motorists. it was decided
to give the transit company the
responsibility in aiding to clear
the streets.
The alternative would be to
divide responsibility. and that
would cost the District 5000 900
for equipment, which we don't
have" the Commissioner said.

Health Department
To Seek New Curbs
On Milk Sold Here
By jones Birchfieid

Inc OlSLTlCC 1eaILn OepaTC"
ment will ask the Commissioners
for additional restrictions on
milk sold in the Nations Capital.
The department. The Star
learned today. will ask the Com
m!ssioners to permit only milk
from herds certified as free Of
Bangs disease to be sold on the
District market.
Bangs disease, or brucellosis
in cattle, causes undulant fever
in man. There is no danger of
infection. however, from the use
of Pasteurized milk.
Health officials explained that
the new restrictions will not be-
come effective at once, but will
require several years to achieve.
Under the plan to raise still
further the quality of milk Of
fered for sale to Washington
consumers, the department said
two programs will be followed.
July l Deadline.
The department said the COM
miSsioners will be asked to re-
quire all milk producers selling
on the Washington market to
enter what is known as plan
B" by next July /. What is
known as Plan A" would be-
come effective on January /,
1855, and would lead to the GER
LITIGATION as Bangs free Of all
herds supplying the city three
years later.
Plan B. according to health
officials, requires that all COWS
in herds be blood tested for
Bangs disease. and that reac-
tors be retained in herds until
replaced by disease free animals.
The plan also calls for the vacci-
nation of all calves against
brucellosis.
Plan A. the stricter plan and
the one leading to herd certifi.
cation, requires that all herds
be blood tested and that all re-
actors be slaughtered immedi-
ately. This plan also requires
calf vaccination.
Producers Approve.
Health officials said the Mary
land and Virginia Milk Pro-
ducers Association. the milk pro-
Queer cooperative that supplies
80 per cent of the milk on the
Washington market. has ap-
proved the new restrictions.
ASSOCIATION representatives
said most Of the herds now sup
plying milk to Washington are
free Of Bangs disease, and that
the restrictions would create few
hardship cases.
1t was suggested in other
quarters, however, that the pro-
gram may be especially attrac-
tive at this time because of the
problem of milk SURPRISES on the
Washington market.
Health Department officials
admitted that the menace from
Bang'S-infected cattle is greater
on the farm than in the District.
The disease may be. contracted
by farm workers or by farm fam
lilies who drink un-Pasteurized
milk.
Health officials said no raw"
or -paSteurized milk, has been
sold in Washington for four or
five years. In the early 1930s,
they said, regulations requiring
raw milk to come from herds
certified as Bang's-free were
passed by the commissioners.
They said amendments to
regulations in 1850 required that
all farmers selling milk in WASH
ington must follow one of four
plans approved by the Agricul-
ture Department for the eradi-
cation of brucellosis.
