had been unwilling to testify
about the measure.
Bad Precedent Feared
Senator Holland, Democrat OF
Florida, raised the question
whether the company was pro-
ltected against deprivation OF its
property without due process OF
law. He pointed out that it
would be a bad precedent If this
point was not taken care OF.
Senator Morse agreed that the
point should be made clear and
drew up an amendment to ac-
complish this.
Senator Butler. Republican OF
Maryland, said that cancellation
would leave a question whether
the Commissioners could operate
Capital Transit services extend
ing into Maryland. He also said
that transit companies are aban-
doning "fixed wheel" operations
and substituting buses. He feared
that if this were done on lines
extending into Maryland, and
the buslines would not prove
profitable, they would be aban-
doned.
Senator Payne. Republican OF
Maine, chairman of a committee
(which investigated Capital Tran
sit Co. two years ago, charged
that the management of Capital
Transit "has made itself a solit
wall of resistance against settle
ment of the strike"
In a series Of questions, Sena-
tor Saltonstall, Republican o1
Massachusetts inquired whether
Congress was being asked to give
the Commissioners any more
power than is normally possessed
'|by mayors of other cities.

York or Detroit ''has power tc
take over transit" in any sim
lilar strike emergency.
Generally So" replied Sen

said generally "we're in agree

Victory for Company
The House bill was general,
considered a clear-cut victory fol
Capital Transit in its running
tight with the Commissioners.
There still was the spectre tina
the differences between the Sen
ate and House measures coult
not be resolved before adjourn
ment.
A key problem, obviously, il
how to reconcile the compulsor,
as against voluntary removal o,
the franchise.
One House committee mem
ber, who asked that he not b
identified, said that j. A. B
Broadwater, Capital TRANSIT
president. testified most EN-.
phaticaly yesterday that h.
could guarantee enough vote
from the stockholders to ratify
REIMBURSEMENT Of the fran
chise."
He said company officials arr
solidly behind the House legis'
lation, and that, in fact. I

bill formed the basis Of the ont

committee considered a draf
drawn by the Commissioners OF
| orders from Chairman McMil
Ian, to which the company OBJ
jected.
Lane Voices Objection
After the House committe'
action, District Engineer Com
missioner Thomas A. Lam
voiced bitter objection.
"The bill would leave tn
Commissioners without an,
.Rong-term solution Of the prob
Aem," he told q reporter.
| IF management does no
choose to relinquish its fran
chise at the end Of the con
tract period, I don't know wha
we'd do unless we entered an
other contract to bail then
out"
Gen. Lane said he was "op
posed to any bill which intro
duces the District government
into the solution of a disput
between labor and manage
. ment except on the basis W
have recommended of lifting tn
franchise. If the franchise
