The two civilian members of
the District Public Utilities
Commission last night were
asked to abandon their private
law practices while holding the
s15,l50-a-year commission n
posts.
The request was made by the
District Federation of Citizens
Associations with only two dis
senting votes.
The two commission members
who would be affected by the
proposal are George E. C..
Hayes. chairman, and Harold
A. KertZ. The third member Is
Brig. Gen. A. c. yelling, the

sioner.
Told of the Federation's ac-
ton, Mr.. Hayes said that:
/. Since his appointment to
the commission, Il have cur
tailed contact with my olEce
to a minimum, and never dur
ing working hours at The COM
mission"
2. "One of the inducements
made to me before accepting
the position was that I would
be able to continue my law
practice"
3. He has never handled any
cases related to his work with
the commission.

Congress or anyone, to conflne

ter-sightseeing service at the
expense of competitors and
with the aid of practices which,
the unit said, called for "atten-
ton" from appropriate public
authorities"
The group cited "intra-cor-
porate accounting" involving
other Chalk-controlIed firms.
One member of the Harris
unit, Representative Rogers,
Democrat of Texas, supple
mented the committee report
with a statement charging that
D. c. Transit has borne ex-
penses of other Chalk firms
through "intermingling" and
that the PUG has mot acted
effectively" in policing transit
accounts.
Two Dissent
Mr.. Rogers also took eXcep-
ton to a stand of the District
Commissioners that Congress
should clarity the transit
firms tax status. The Texan
suggested the General Account
ing Office look into both PUG
and D. c. Transit accounting
procedures.
Two committee members,
Representatives Friedel, Demo-
.crat of Maryland, and Derou-
nian. Republican of New York,
diSsented from the Harris
units report.
Mr.. Friedel labeled the bill
drastic and said he did not
consider it an appropriate
method for insuring fair COM
.pletion. He also said the meas
ure might deprive mass-transit
riders of lower fares that re-
suit from efficient sightseeing
and charter operations by the
transit firm in off-peak hours.
Mr.. Derounian also said he
did not consider the bill the
proper way to correct the prob
lem.

A House committee has made
the first formal move toward
barring D. c. Transit System
from using its regular buses
and other facilities to compete
for potentially lucrative Wash
ington sightseeing and charter
business.
The Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee. headed
by Representative Harris, Dem
ocrat of Arkansas, in a report
published yesterday, said the
Washington transit firm enjoys
enough competitive fare advan-
tage over other charter sight
seeing operators.
This, the report adds, is the
basis for bill reported to the
floor Tuesday which would i'm
pose special restrictions on the
transit firm.
Critical Report
A subcommittee of the Harris
group, headed by Representa-
tive Williams, Democrat of Mis-
sissippi. conducted hearings or
complaints against sightseeing
charter operations of D. C
Transit last year. The COM
mittee issued a critical interim
report last September but with
held final action pending a re-
port from the Public Utilities
Commission.
The committees final report
takes issue with what it says is
an apparent P. u. c. stand that
no action on the transit firm s
sightseeing charter operation
is called for.
There are indications that
ID. C. Transit, with its large
resources and its special mo-
nopoly neutrality-suspicious. po-
sitlon, may well destroy COM
petition in the local sightseeing
and charter field if appropriate
remedial legislation is not
passed." the committee de-
clared.
The unit said more than a
ban on sightseeing charter use
of maSs-transportation equip
ment and personnel might prove
necessary to cure all the COM
plants, but said Congress could
take this up later if necessary,
Arguments Discarded
The Harris group dismissed
arguments by the transit firm
that charter and sightseeing
activity is authorized under its
franchise, was conducted by its
predecessors and is customary
with transit firms elsewhere.
The unit also discounted a
contention by o. Roy Chalk,
head of D. c. Transit, that the
proposed ban could be uncon-
stitutional.
Testimony, the report said
clearly indicated" that D. C.
Transit has expanded its char
