The loud transmission Of a
car driven by q member of the

Fire Department announced the
pulling Of a false fire alarm,
leading to the imposition of a
$3.50 fine yesterday in Hyatts-
vile Police Court.
Trial Magistrate Grover L.
Small handed down the fine to
Robert K. Mcdonnell, Is, of
5811 Ruatan street. The fireman
was spotted by a Greenbelt
woman resident Saturday night
running from a fire alarm box
at II Ridge road, according to
Greenbelt Police Pvt. James H..
Williams.
Gets Description
The woman heard the youth
make a noisy arrival in his car
at the firebox, watched him pull
the alarm and was able to get
a description before he sped of,
Pvt. williams said. Mcdonnell
was apprehended shortly after
wards and returned to the fire.
box to re-enact the crime for
the woman's further conflrma-
ton. the officer added.
A friend who accompanied
Mcdonnell on the escapa de
failed in his attempt to talk the
fireman out of pulling the alarm,
Pvt. Williams noted.
Pleads Guilty
Judge Small emphasized the
seriousness of fires and fire
alarms to Mcdonnell and de-
cIared it should be particularly
apparent to a member Of fire

Mcdonnell said he had no reason
for turning in the alarm but that
1t was not the first time he had
had an urge. The court noted
the youth had been in previous
juvenile trouble. \

a debt Of gratitude to the SUBJ
committee" which drafted the
Senate bill and steered it through
the House Senate conference.
The question of when the
charter cancellation is effective
goes back to the 1888 Merger
Act, which created the Capital
Transit Co. out of two earlier
companies. Section Is of that
act says:
Congress reserves the right to
alter, amend, or repeal his reso-
luton, or any charter or certifi-
cate of Incorporation made
Hereunder. and any and all
rights of franchise created by
this resolution shall terminate
one year following its repeal"
The bill passed yesterday was
an amendment to the Merger
Act. 1t declared that "the char
ter and all rights of franchise
of Capital Transit Co. created
by this resolution are hereby
repealed in accordance with the
terms of Section Is hereof"
Hectic Day
As the Commissioners read it
yesterday. the effective date Of
the charter cancellation seemed
to depend on the implication to
be read into the use Of q comma
under the word Hereunder"
Mr.. Mclaughlin, however, in
sisted there was legislative his
tory of the bill to support his
belief that the charter would
die Immediately.
Final passage Of the measure
climaxed a hectic day in which
Congress made major effort
to fulfill its responsibilities be-
fore adjournment as city council
and state legislature for the
District.
Monday, the House had failed
by 20 votes to muster the two

on passage of some legislation to
deal with the strike-except
seizure-the passage of some
legislation to deal with the

Post Libel Stuff

Louis e. wolfson, chairman
of the board of the struck Cap
ital. Transit Co., today filed q
$50 million libel suit against
the Washington Post and Times
Herald and two Of its officers,
in the U. s. District Court for
the District Of Columbia.
The action, brought by the
law firm of Hogan & Harrison
tof the Colorado Building, sought
$40 million in damages for each
lof three editorials.
Named defendants with the
Post and Times Herald were
Eugene Meyer, chairman Of the
newspapers Board Of Directors,
and Philip L. Graham, pub
Usher.
The suit charges:
"AS the result Of the false, IL
belous and malicious misstate-
ments Of fact contained Gin an
editorial entitled Mr.. Wolfsor's
Strike July 2, 1855, the plain
tin, who is a businessman of

trolling or substantial interests

public contempt. ridicule, dis
grace, scorn and obloquy which
have damaged his personal and
business reputation, affected his
standing in the business COM
munity and jeopardized the sue
cess of his present and future
business undertakings"
Mr.. Wolfson charged in the
action that he was similarly
damaged by an editorial which
appeared in the newspaper July
IL, 1855, entitled Congress and
the Strike" and another, "Vic-
tory for Wolfson?" which was
published July %, 1855.
The suit asked, in addition to
the $50 million that the de-
PENDANTS be ordered to pay court
costs and requested a Jury trial.

have SIS or SIG a share for a
final payment to himself and
other stockholders.

change today. $9.37ha was bid
and $40 asked. There were no
morning sales.
Cancellation of the charter and
the possibility Of receivership
were not mentioned in the con-
Iferees' report to the House. which
took up the measure after two
patient recesses to await it.
Final House passage came after
only six minutes of explanation
on a standing vote of 140 to go
lat Oil pm.
No Objection in Senate
The Senate took nine minutes,
giving it's approval without OBJ
lection" at 1908 pm. The pos
sibility of receivership was
raised by Senator Allott, Repub-
lican, of Colorado, who had
been the first to suggest the
procedure publicly last week.
when the Senate District Com
mittee approved the Senate's
transit bill.
Senator Mcnamara, Demo-
crat, Of Michigan, chairman Of
the subcommittee that handled
the bill, said the compromise
doesn't spell it out, but it does
not preclude it."
Senator Morse explained that
nov that we have given the
District Commissioners power of
home rule. they clearly have
power to seek appointment of a
receiver"
And, Senator Allott COM
mented that receivership may
very well turn out to be a very
vital point" in dealing with
Capital Transit.
Senator Case, Republican, OF
New Jersey. a member Of the
Mcnamara subcommittee, called
it a good BILL" which gives
the Commissioners the power to
run the show themselves. He
called cancellation Of the fran
chise and charter a basic OBJ
jective" of the measure.
