Wheaton Bus
Loss Placed
At $4,000

Thomas Parran, owner of the
! Wheaton-based Suburban Transit
Co., estimated that his firm lost
$4,000 in revenue during the 81
day Capital Transit strike of
Washington bus and street car
operators.
Mr.. Parran said that, even
with the strike over, his COM
pany will be some time getting
all of its patrons back, because
of car pool arrangements formed
during the strike.
Shortly after the strike began,
Suburban Transit asked the Dis
trict of Columbia Public Utilities
Commission to allow it to bring
its passengers into Washington,
but this was denied. Mr.. Parran
emphasized that he wanted only
to bring his Maryland riders into
the city, and did not ask to pick
up intra-city passengers once in
Washington.
After authority to do this dur
ing the strike was denied him, he
requested permission to run his
busses into downtown Washing
ton on a permanent basis, dis
charging Maryland passengers
and picking up riders in Wash
ington who are bound for Mary
land stops on regular Suburban
routes. A hearing on this request
will be held Wednesday.
Several Virginia bus companies
now operate on this basis, max.
ing express runs into downtown
Washington.
Although the Interstate Com
merce Commission has author
lied Suburban to carry passen-
gers into Washington, the Dis
trict PUC's refusal to allow the
company TO do so has forced it
into the position of bein G
primarily feeder line for Capt.
tai Transit, Mr.. Parran said.

Wheaton now has a branch
post office of Silver Spring. Mail
for residents and businesses in
the Wheaton area is addressed to
Silver Spring.
At Tuesdays meeting, some
members expressed the opinion
that the chamber should concen-
trate first on getting bigger quar-
terS for the post office, then
work on an Independent station.
However, a resolution was unani-
mouSly adopted asking for both
larger quarters and an indepen-
dent station.
In other action, the chamber
heard a letter from Manager
Reese saying that he had refer
red the matter of a police sub
station for Wheaton to the Park
and Planning Commission for a
recommendation on a location.
Mr.. Reese has expressed his
approval of the plan for a county
service building - which would
include a police sub-station -
somewhere in Wheaton.
John Harden, director of the
Security Patrol, told the chamber
that Wheaton merchants could
hire his service for $l.50 a week
each, providing them with pri.
vate police protection for their
businesses.
Mr.. Harden, who said his work
is mainly Control of young

area on a goodwill basis this
