District Zone
FareStudied
Proposal includes
Maryland Suburbs
BY GILBERT GIMBLE
Star staff Writer

A possible zone fare system
for bus routes in the District
and suburban Maryland is be-
ing studied by the Washing
ton Area Metropolitan Transit
Commission.
Such a zone fare, if adopted,
could mean some fares for short
distance rides would be low
cred. 1t also would mean ad-
justing the present zone boun-
daries in nearby Maryland.
The top staff of the commits
sion feels that some kind of
zone bus fare is necessary to
eliminate what they consider
unfair rates now being paid by
close-in Maryland suburbanites
compared to the fares being
paid by District residents in
the outlying portions of the
city.
Albert Sklar, vice chairman
OF the commission, representing
Maryland, urged that the staff
undertake the zone fare study
with the view to rectifying any
unfair rates that suburban
Maryland riders pay.
Zone Charge Added
Brig. Gen. Frederick j.
Clarke. District Engineer Com
missioner and chairman of the
transit commission, said he
favors establishing fares based
on the amount of distance trav-
eled. But, he added, a zone
fare system will cause problems

Idle Miners Reject
Jobs Picking Apples

Several reasons for the low
figure are given: coal miners
don't make very good apple
pickers; the Fay is low; the
season Is short; the roalfields
are nearly 800 miles away and
the men would have to be sep
arated from their families.
The Panhandle's fruit trees,
which produce West Virginia S
biggest single crop. are heavy
with apples this year as the har-
vesting season gets under way.
Nearly 6 million bushels, with
a sale value at the orchard of
more than SO million, are ex-
pected to be harvested from the
four-county area bordering
Maryland and Northern Vir-
ginia.
Picking, packing, hauling and
processing require about 5000
workers for the 10-week season,
according to farm employment
officials. Housewives, semi-re-
tired people. marginal farmers
and odd-iob workers from the
area here provide most of the

since the Soviet Union broke its
three-year moratorium on test

fourth big explosion in the

In announcing the resump-

this country was forced reluc-

there was no fallout from the
