Mrs. Finkbine and her hus-
band came to Sweden August

Dy Tie commission S executive
director that some of the con-
tract rates are too low and I'M
fair to the general farepaying
public.
The companies bid for the
contract work on a competitive
basis and are paid so much per
mile or trip. Military and civil
ian employees of the Navy and
Defense Department can then
ride the special buses provided
without paying fares.
Two Answers
The company officials an
swer the contention that the
contract rates work out to low
er fares than those charged the
general public with two argu-
ments:
l. The contract service is
performed in large part during
the non-rush hours when buses
would be sitting idle.
2. The service to and from
defense installations can, in
some cases, be worked into the
companies regular schedules.
My position has been that
Government contracts are at
rates which include profit and
all COSTS" declared Robert j.
Mithell, executive vice presi-
dent and general manager of
AB&W Transit.
1.-THE only reason we can af-
ford it is it is midday work
only" said S. A. DeStefane, vice
president and treasurer of the
WYNN Coach Co. 1t runs a
contract shuttle bus service be-
tween the Pentagon, Navy An
mex, main Navy Building,
Capitol Hill, and other defense
installations in the Metropoli-
tan Area.
He said the company's man.

power and equipment used in
the service would be sitting
around during non rush-hour
periods. The buses on contract
service which complete a trip
to town Washington
during the rush hour can turn
around and pick up regular
passengers. he said.
In this way, he said, I'VE
save the 'deadhead' miles of
bringing the bus back to the
garage"
James H. Flanagan, vice
president and controller Of D. C..
Transit System. Inc. said his
company would reserve all COM
mentS on the commission inves-
tigation until such time as its
views are solicited at a hearing.
The commission investigation
was brought on by request of
the Defense Department. The
latter said it is faced with the
possible loss Of its private bus
company contract service. This
is due to a legal squabble
among the carriers about who
has what authority to operate
where.
In its petition of July 10
to the commission, the depart
ment said it wanted to present
evidence in favor of abandoning
the system Of inviting private
carriers to bid on contracts for
the bus service. Instead, 1t
would prefer a system of "in-
terlining" among the various
carriers with the rates set by
the commission. Interlining Is
through service from one COM
pany's territory to the other
without the need of transfer
ring buses. 1t requires commits
sion approval.

however, Lney SAID no contact
had been made with the main
body of rebel forces in south
ernmost An Xuyen Province
United States Marine helicop-
tiers took part in the campaign
which opend yesterday.
The government reported at
least 10 rebels had been killed
and Ill prisoners taken. Re-
peated air strikes by govern
ment planes were credited with
most Of the casualties. Gov
eminent losses were placed at
two wounded and no dead.
Wet Cong Loses
= American military sources
said the Wet Cong death toll
probably was much higher be-
cause of the air strikes by
government fighter planes or
known Wet Cong training areas
and villages.
Target Of the government
offensive is a Communist force
estimated at 1000 which long
has controlled most of the
region. Informants said the
government hopes to shatter
the Communist force in the
current offensive.
First successes reported in
cluded the capture of what the
government believes was the
central arms depot for the
whole Wet Cong force in the
province and the capture of q
Red communications center.
Gen. Paul D: Harkins, COM
mander of United States forces
in Wet Nam and Thailand
inspected the captured arms
yesterday at Ca Mau, the pro-
vincial capital $50 miles south
west of Saigon. The arms in
cluded 100 homemade antitank
rockets, $500 Chinese-style
hand grenades and an esti-
mated 10 tons Of guns and

Inquiry Seeks

Estes BaiI-out
By CECIL HOLLAND
Star staff Writer

Senate investigators today
mapped out an intensified in
quiry next week into the &C
tons of present and former
Agriculture Department Off
Gals in the Billie Sol Estes case
With public hearings entering
the ninth week, the Senate
Investigations subcommittee
headed by Senator Mcclellan
Democrat of Arkansas, sought
answers to two questions:
l. Was there a last minute
and high level effort in the de-
partment to bail out" the in
dicted Pecos CTex0 operator
in his cotton allotment diff
ficulties?
2. If so. who was responsible
for the effort?
The Estes cotton allotments
the subcommittee has brought
out, were ordered suspended
last December and then the
suspension order was Cancelled
in early January of this year
The problem was left hanging
until Secretary of Agriculture
Freeman personally took q
hand in the matter and or
dered the cancellation carried
out.
Prompt Action Praised
This occurred in April, nearly
four months after the origina!
cancellation order. Investi-
eating Senator's last week COM
mended Mr.. Freeman for acting
promptly when the full Estes
story was brought to his at
tention nearly two weeks after
the PecoS financier was arrest
ed on Federal fraud charges.
Scheduled as witnesses for
next weeks hearings starting
at 2 pm. Tuesday are John C.
Bagwell, the departments gen.
eral counsel; Thomas H. Mil
Ter, acting director Of the
Southwest area office, and pos
sibly Emery E. RedD Jacobs,
whose resignation from a high
position was quickly accepted
in the department because of
his connection with Estes.
Bagwell Criticized
Mr.. Bagwell ran into blunt
criticism from the subcommit-
tee in his testimony last week.
Senator Mcclellan charged
that he had submitted propo-
sails which might have been
used as a means Of bailing out
Estes in his cotton deals. Mr..
Bagwell denied the charges.
Mr.. Miller wrote a report
which subcommittee counsel
Donald ODonnell referred to
in last weeks hearings as "a
whitewash" Of the Estes cotton
transactions.
According to the depart
ment, Mr.. Miller prepared the
report at the direction of Mr..
Jacobs and against his per-
sonal judgment. He has been
reprimanded for this and for
failing to disclose to Govern
ment investigators that he pre-
pared such a report.

some have more, some haVI
less. It is true that there are
10 petals on the variety known
as "paSsiflora Caerulea." Just
inside the ring of petals there
is another ring of filaments
caused by the combination of
the calyx and the corolla. This
ring often is thought to be rep
resentative of the crown of
thorns. In the center are three
stalk like pistils or styles which
suggest the nails of the Cross
and the five anthers contain
ing the pollen represent the five
wounds.
The Bible does not indicate
that any of the Disciples, other
than Judas, were absent from
the Crucifixion.
Question: when was the
Methodist Church organized in
this country?'
Answer: The Methodist
Church, as it is constituted to-
day, dates from 1889 when
three large Methodist bodies
united. They were the Method
ist Episcopal Church, the
Methodist Protestant Church
and the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South. All three traced
their origins to the Wesleyan
Revival in England in the 18th
century.
The Methodist Church Cen
eral Conference in 1948 de-
clared it regarded Christmas of
1874 as the official organizing
cate of Methodists in this coun-
try. At that conference in Bal
timore, Francis Asbury and
Thomas Coke were elected su-
perintendents-later they were
known as bishops.
In 1912 a small group with
drew from the Methodist
Church and formed the Inde-
pendent Fundamental Metho-
dist Church. In 1856 the name
Independent" was dropped
and the body was incorporated
as the Fundamental Methodist
Church, Inc. with headquarters
in Springfield, Mo. 1t has about
TOO members.

Question: who said, AS a
man thinketh in his heart so
is he. Not, only so is he, but
so does hep Please give chap
ter and verse"
Answer: The first sentence
of the quotation is from Prov
erbS, xxiii.7. Just who wrote
it we do not know. Some Of the
Proverbs are attributed to Sol
omon, but this particular Sec
ton is quite similar to an an
cient Egyptian wisdom book
called THE Teaching of Amen
,em-ope." Apparently the rest
of your quotation contains a
