NoIronCurtain
RevoIts Seen
ByArn1eniian

The spiritual leader of 4 mill
lion Armenians said last night
that Iron Curtain countries are
safe from revolt from within.
The prelate, His Holiness
Vasken I, Supreme Patriarch
Catholics of all Armenians,
said:
What can 1 say? This is a
political question, but do not
see any dissatisfaction whereby
such an eventuality may occur.
The CATHOLICS said a popular
revolt is unlikely, particularly
since the regime is inStituting
reforms in the economic sphere
toward the improvement of the
living conditions of the people. "
Through an interpreter, the
51-year-old Catholics said his
church operates freely in Ar
menia, now a part of the USSR.
"Our churches" he said, "ful-
fill their tasks by giving Spir-
Iitual consolation and guidance
to the faithful"
Trip Breaks Precedent
The prelate said he is break
ing the precedent of centuries
in leaving the patriarchal resi-
dence at Holy Etchmiadzin, in
Armenia, so that he can reach
members of his congregation
who fled or were deported dur
ing the last century.
Until the fall of the CZariSt
regime in 1917, he noted, lead
ers of the Armenian church
were not allowed to leave the
Holy See.
Since his elevation to Cath
olicos in 1855, Vasken I has
visited the Near East, Moscow
and Africa.
| No objections from Red gov
ernment officials about his
trip to the United States were
encountered, he said.
If there had been any OBJ
stacles," he said, I'VE could not
have come"
The patriarch was escorted
to the Armenian Apostolic
Church at Forty-second and
Fessenden streets NV, by a
motorcade of nearly so cars
after he was greeted by mem
bers of the Washington Ar
menian congregation at Union
Station.
Two From Soviet Embassy
Among the welcomers were
Georgi M. Kornienko, Counselor
of the Soviet Embassy here.
and V. Kuleshov, the Embassy's
Cultural Attache.
Their presence was "just
courtesy" Mr.. Kuleshov said.
The patriarch said his mes
sage to the American congrega-
ton will be keep and uphold
the faith of your forefathers,
their traditions and their cul-
tural values"
He will pray, he said, that
faith in this country remain
strong and that its Christian
culture remain Steadfast."
The patriarch said he will
urge ArmenianS here to be
faithful and law abiding and
constructive citizens, obedient
to the laws and interests of the
country"
He is being accompanied on
his American tour by Bishop
KomitaS, the Primate of Geor-
gia (USSR); the Rev. EliShe OF
Armenia; Haig Arakelian, the

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

OVERWORK: During his
years in the big leagues,
pitcher Bobo Newsom was a
fiery independent who stuck
up fiercely for his rights.
One day, when Newsom
was with the old st. Louis
Browns, his manager said to
him:
"Bobo, you're going to
pitch tomorrow. Now I know
you've been burning the mid
night oil lately, but tomor-
rows game is an important
one, so I want you to go to
bed on time and get a good
nights rest"
Newsom promised to retire
early and did. The game was
rained out. Again he went to
bed early and again the rains
came. The same thing hap
pened the third day. That
was enough for Newsom.
That night, when the man.
ager came over to him, he
let out a howl of protest.
Get yourself another
boy" he growled. I'm not
pitching every game around
here"

2 Suits to Upset Fares
Of D. c. Transit Heard

analyst, seeks to set aside fare
increases put into effect last
March when cash fares were
raised to Is cents but the price
of tokens remained at fiveI
for 81.
Both suits are being heard
in the form of motions before
Judge F. Dickinson Let's, who
late yesterday recessed the
hearings until this afternoon.
Attorney Harvey M. Spear
argued yesterday in behalf of
the transit system that the
Public Utilities Commission, as
a matter of law, should have
granted the system an increase
which would have allowed it a
5.48 per cent return on gross
operating revenue. Instead it
got only a 40 per cent margin
by the increase of last March,
he said.
Mr.. Spear contended that
the transit system under its
franchise and according to
legislative intent is entitled to
a return of 61a per cent, in line
with the view that the income
should be sufficient to make it
attractive to investors. There
fore, he contended, as a mat
ter of law the commission
should have granted the re-
turn Of 5.48 per cent. which
would still be under the 612
per cent.
Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci George F. Donnella con-
tended that the commission is
not authorized to order any
increase unless it is fair to the
public and the transit system.
Attorneys Leonard N. Beb-
chick and Leonard S. Good
man, who are plaintiffs in the
individuals suit to set aside
the increase already given,
contended the commission had
erred in granting the cash fare
last March. They contended
the commission in reaching its
decision, allowed Transit to
charge depreciation to property
that has been junked. They
also contended the commission
has enormously allowed Transit
the sum of 81 million a year for
track removal and repaving.
The two attorneys contended
this sum is excessive.
In the combined court actions
all sides seek summary judg-
ments in their favor. Judge
Let's has indicated he will take
matters under advisement af-
ter all arguments are COM
pleted.
