Hopes for Quick Action
A few moments after Sena-

views to reporters, Senator
Knowlsnd told the Senate he
hoped there would be a vote
by tonight on the Anderson

narrow the bill down to voting

Senator Knowland also for
the first time conceded that
he probably will lose his fight
to retain Title III of the House
bill, which would enable the
Attorney General to use Fed

Under ePsmendment, the
Presidential veto would be pos
sible only If the governor ad-
vised the President that the
assembly's act adversely affected
a Federal interest.
These views were expressed
by the Commissioners at a
hearing today before the Judi
ciary Subcommittee Of the Sem
ate District Committee when
hearings for public witnesses
were concluded.
The Commissioners were
given until the end Of the week
to supply further opinions on
the election of a school board.
Seeks to Wind Up Record
Senator Clark, Democrat of
Pennsylvania. chairman of the
subcommittee. is pressing to
wind up the record because
when the transcript has been
printed. Senator Morse, Demo-
crat Of Oregon. and Senator
Nicely, Democrat OF West Vir-
ginia. chairman of the full
committee, want to rebut all of
the testimony of witnesses sup
porting the administration bill,
Their plan calls for an elected
mayor. city council and school
board as well as a non-voting
District delegate in the House.
That may come next week
and is expected to be a re-
newed blast against what
these home rule advocates call
"phony" aspects of the admin
istration's bill.
The administration bill, how
ever. got a boost today from

today. David Whatley, said he
had hopes for an early report
Of a bill from the Senate Dis
trict Committee on home rule
so that it might be offered in
the Senate as an amendment
to the pending national civil
rights bill. He said he thought
it would be germane.
Believes Move Unnecessary
In response to this. Senator
Javits said he had heard some
discussion about such a posi-
bility. He said members of the
Senate were very mindful" OF
the situation here. but that he
did not think such a move was
necessary.
What the House might dc

government bill passed by the
Senate has been kept in mino
by the Commissioners. it was
indicated in the testimony
of Commissioner Robert E
Mclaughlin. Several times to-
day when Senators asked ques-

the city heads preferred not to
go into some new fields in
order to avoid House opposition
This recalled that while the
Senate in the past has approved

bills they have always wound

Committee.

25% Increase
In Taxi Fares
Recommended
Accountant Urges
P. U. c. Approval for
Group Boost, Also

A Is per cent increase in
single passenger taxicab fares
was recommended to the Dis
trict Public Utilities Commits
sion today by j. William Falk,
the commissions chief &C
countant.
The staff study also urged
an advance from Is to 81 per
cent IN group passenger fares
in the first FIVE cab zones and
from Is to 1S per cent in the
remaining three distant zones.
Children under IL should
ride for 20 cents, Mr.. Falk said.
He recommended a new
group-riding rule. allowing
drivers to decide whether to
pick up more than one pas
senger during rush hours, and
at the Armory, Griffith Sta
dium and Union Station. Pas
sengerS would have to give
their permission at all other
times and stops, under the new
system urged by Mr.. Falk. Now,
group riding is mandatory.
Hearing Set Tonight
The P. U. c. proposal came as
Q House District subcommittee
scheduled closing hearings on
the local taxicab business. Final
sessions before Subcommittee
Chairman Olin league, Demo-
crat Of Texas. are set for 7:30
pm. today and tomorrow.
A decision to raise zone fares
by the P. U. C. would seem to
negate chances of a switch
from zone to meter rates, being
considered by the House unit.
The P. U. c. generally follows
the recommendations of its own
staff members.
Mr.. Falk's schedule OF fares
met the request of Dominick
Angelotti, chief spokesman for
five independent hackers who
claim the support of 1000 other
drivers. 1t increased the group
riding bid of drivers in lower
zones, but cut their request for
group riding on long hauls.
Longest Ride S2.25
The passenger taking a one
zone ride, fro mthe Capitol
to the Mayflower Hotel, for
example. would pay so cents
instead of 40 cents, under pro-
posed rates. The 50-cent fare
would go up one nickel in each
OF the succeeding seven zones.
Thus, one passenger travelling
on the logneSt possible taxi
ride in a Washington cab would
pay $2.25, an increase Of As
cents over present fares of
$3.50 for the same ride.
Two passengers taking the
Mayfiower Hotel-Capitol Hill
ride would give their driver 35
cents each. instead of 80 cents.
That new fare would be boosted
by 10 cents each in the second
zone. and by Is cents each in
the six succeeding zones.
For drivers, the new fares
would mean a conservative,
justified and reasonable" in
crease in take-home pay &C
cording to Mr.. Falk.
