garment. Flowers fade. Grass
withers. Men. cities and ma
tons rise and fall-but Gods
truth survives all time and all
earthly commotion."
Those were the words Of
Pastor Reuben r. Figuhr Of
Washington, D. c., as he gave
today's Sabbath sermon before
1900 Seventh-day Adventists
gathered at Cleveland public
auditorium.
The Adventists suspended
business Of their 48th general
conference, attended by repre-
sentstives from 80 nations. as
they observed their Sabbath
today.
An offering totaling SHIT
500 to expand missions activity
of the church was announced.
The delegates and visitors heard
Pastor c. L. Torrey of WASH
lngton, D. c.. world treasurer,
say:
Thank God for what our
people have done"
The offering. representing
gifts from church members in
1876 countries, exceeded the goal
by more than 100000 and did
not include donations made at
today's worship service. That
money will be counted later.
Pastor Figuhr reaf1irmed the
imminent second coming of
Christ in his sermon. This is
one Of the strongest tenets Of
the Adventists.
"The clear scriptural teach
ing that caused the formation
of the Seventh-Day Adventist
Church was the imminence Of

in power and majesty" the
pastor said. Pastor Figuhr is

on a revenue approach. The
reason is clear. Six and a half

the figure at less than 3 per cent.
With both the proposed fare in
crease and a school fare subsidy,
the return-on the basis Of
revenue for the year ended in
March-would not reach 5 per
cent, the committee was told.
The ga per cent clause is not
a guarantee Of profits. But Mr..

that he has it firmly in mind.

The first major cutback IN

system will come this fan.
Tracks are to be lifted or

now using North Capitol
street, Michigan avenue and
Rhode Island avenue. The
Rhode Island line extends to
Branchville, Md. The stretch
es to be abandoned comprise
almost a fifth of the streetcar
system.
Under its franchise, transit
is obligated to abandon the rest
of the carlines by 1868 unless
the PUG permits a delay. Last
November, however, Mr.. Chalk
Endorsed an offer by Repre-
sentative Mcmillan, Democrat
of South Carolina, to sponsor
legislation to retain streetcars

cars are essential to national
defense. CThis apparently was
a reference to their usefulness
during the World War II gaso-
line shortage.)
Last week, commenting on the
| Mcmillan proposal, Mr.. Chalk
said:
Were supporting the law as
/ it presently exists. But ] won't
say I'm unsympathetic to the
bill"
Transit officials are thought
to be reluctant to face the con-
version cost, estimated at $12
million for track removal anc
repaving and $l4 million OF
more for new buses.
Commissioner McLauehlir
has repeatedly supported. the
1868 conversion deadline, and
last fall the Commissioners re-
minded the company they were
awaiting a conversion pro-
gram. But so far Mr.. Chali
has not committed himself be-
yond the two conversions sched-
uled this year.
Any serious transit effort tc
delay conversion is almost Ger.
tain to cause major controversy
The only out for Mr.. Chall
might be delays in carrying
through the city's highway pro-
gram, to which the conversion
theoretically is geared.
Meanwhile, 100 new buses
including the first 81 to be ali
conditioned-are due this sum-
mer. Mr.. Chalk said he ex'
poets to buy 100 more within
a year.

Fares

Mr.. Chalk filed a formal
request for a fare rise on May
2. Now the schedule provides
for a 20-cent cash fare, five
tokens for IS cents, 90-cent
weekly permits allowing a re-
duced fare of 10 cents a ride,
and a 71a-cent school fare
Mr.. Chalk, effective September
/. wants to raise school fares
to 10 cents and abolish the
permits and tokens.
Present fares have been ir
effect since 1855.
Last week Mr.. Chalk also
asked a congressional CON-
mittee for a direct subsidy Il
cover the difference between
school fares and the 20-cent
adult fare. It costs the company
the same 1871 cents a ride Il
carry both. he said.
Public hearings on the pro-
posed fare change are set II
start at 10 am. tomorrow.
Mr.. Chalk last week de-
scribed his fare proposal as
modest one. Transit system
/ in some other cities alread,
have, or are asking. 25-cen
fares, he said. He said he i
trying to hold the line at q
cents.
AS Justification for the pro
posed increase, he cited in
creases in labor and mainte'
nance costs and a lag in earn
ings. In the IL months ended
March 81, which is the ties
period on which the fare de
cision will be based, the com
pany took in $25.88l,745 IL
operating revenue and nettet
$632.922 in operating income
Transit estimates the far
raise would boost revenue b.
about 100000 and the operat
ing net by 100000.
Weekly permits have beei
increasing in popularity re
Gently. But token sales hav
been dropping. A year agt
nearly half the city's rider
used tokens. Last month tn
proportion had dropped +
around a. per cent.
On the score Of the propose

absorb the cost not covered b
