High Court Bars
Transit Appeal
Order to Exploin "a
Fare Rise Unoltered

A Capital Transit Co. appeal
from the District Public Utility
Commissions method Of arriving
at q 1854 fare increase was re-
fused q Supreme Court review
today.
Refusal to take the case did
not directly Affect the rate raise
approved by the commission in
January. 1854. or subsequent
increase allowed last August.
1t left standing, however, an
order by the United States Court
'of Appeals for the District Of
Columbia that the 1854 fare in
crease matter be returned to the
commission for q more detailed
explanation Of the rate-making
procedure.
The Appeals Court did not pass
on the rates themselves. It re-
quested further information as
to why the commission used an
original cost rate base instead
OF other possible bases. An ulti-
mate ruling by the courts con-
ceivably could result In some sort
of refund to the public II the
1854 rate increases were reversed.
Or q ANAL ruling might lead ulti-
rnately to important changes in
determining rates in the future.
The high court disclosed no
reasons for denying the review
petition today. The court had
been urged BY George Spiegel. a
Washington area attorney. to
throw out the case on the ground
that the issue was purely local.
Mr.. Spiegel, who with others
originally fought the 1854 order
by the commission. as upheld in
U. 8. District Court for the Dis
trict of Columbia, appealed in
the present proceedings as q pri-
vate citizen on behalf Of the tram
sit-riding public.
Mr.. Spiegel has said he hopes
eventually to have the courts
and the commission reverse the
1864 increase Of fares to 20 cents,
i've tokens for so cents and a
weekly permit for rs cents plus
10 cents q ride.
A subsequent order last sum-
mer after the transit strike au-
thorized 4 further increase 10
five tokens for 95 cents and q
90-cent permit plus 10 cents a
ride.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 81
What do high school stu

He asked 100 high school

"EinsteinI Long hair and q

Some described scientists as
squares and little old men
with boards working In a musty
laboratory
The majority described science
and fnath courses as dull. that
they take too much time and
that they aren't taught to really
understand the subjects.
They declared that an educa-
tion In science is expensive and,
after making the investment, you
wouldn't make much money

ering loyalty program dismissals
allowed the President to extend
such coverage to non-sensitiye
agencies. Chief Judge Henry w
Edgerton dissented mainly on the
ground that a position such as
Mr.. Cole held under civil service
in the Food and Drug Admins
tration was not within the dis
missal provisions.
In 1851 the Supreme Court
split four To four in upholding
the dismissal of Miss Dorothy
Bailey, former Government

June the court ruled that DR..

Riots Backed by Reds
Hold Bombay in Grip
Five Killed,
225 Injured,
1000 Seized

BOMBAY, India. Nov. Il tH1,
Bombay Seethed in the grip Of
a pitched battle between armed
police and stone throwing DEM
onstrators today. Five persons
were reported killed, at least 225
wounded and over 1000 rioters
were arrested.
1t was the second successive
day of violence touched of by
notwithstanding Indians. with
Communist and Socialist back
ing, protesting Prime Minister
Nehru's decision to create a sep
arate Bombay city-state out Of
the big west coast port.
tThe Communists were be-
lieved to have timed the trou-
BILE with an eye on the sched-
ule Of two top Russian leaders
who are visiting India. Pre-
mier Bulganin and Red Party
Boss Khrushchev, now in New
Delhi with Prime Minister
Nehru, are scheduled to visit
Bombay Wednesday,
More than 100 persons were
injured in rioting yesterday.
Gangs Mill in Streets
Gangs milled through the
streets. stoning buses and trains,
barricading main streets with
huge boulders and setting fire to
buses. The violence exceeded
that in last August's anti-Portu-
gese riots in Bombay.
Police and home guard forces
first wilted under barrage of
stones, then raised their rifles
and fired at the Communicated
demonstrators trying to reach
the state legislature building.
The crowds set fire to three
buses and slaowered passing
traffic with rocks. They attacked
firemen called to fight the fires.
Ambulances made their way
through the Uttered streets pick
ing UP persons injured by stones
and flying glass.
The battle started after 200,-
600 textile workers answered q
strike call and moved into the
streets.
Trees Chopped Down
At one point, the rioters were
ordered by their leaders to leave
the business section where the
worst clashes occurred and
march to Chowpatti, an open
recreation and assembly area on
the beach more than a mile
away. When police barred their
procession, they returned to the
main streets and chopped down
threeS to form barricades.
Some rioters stormed into BUSH
ness buildings and forced offices
to close. Others moved to
Churchgate street and started
bonfires. The Offices and library
of the United States Information
Service nearby were closed when
the disorders began and no dam
age was reported there.
1t was the worst violence in
Bombay since the Indian naval
mutiny against the British In
l946 and marked the first time
since India became independent
that troops have been called out
to help police quell disorder.

four days against the national

ton Of strength"
Soviet Premier Bulganin and
Mr. Khrushchev. First Com

on a goodwill visit expected to
last more than two weeks. At a

said India was sin no camp and
no military alliance"
Policy Of Peace Claimed
THE foreign policy Of the
Soviet Union is a policy OF peace
and friendship between nations,
Marshal Bulganin told the sparli-
alnent members, who frequently

forts directed against a policy oi

alignments and for the defense
of collective peace"

grace TO modern civilization"
The prospect Of Russian as
sistance TO India's industrial de-
velopment appeared TO be merg-
ing as the leading topic during

third day in addresses to a chill
drens' meeting carrier today. Mr..

they must help India Industrial
ize rapidly and increase agri-
cultural production quickly, and
that in this they could count
on the help of Russian youth.

At a private luncheon, in
