Fund Created
For busUsers
Court Acts in Suit
Over Fare Ruise
BY WILLIAM BASHAM
Star staff Writer

A court order signed today
creates a reserve fund of more
than $2.3 million in fares COL
lected by D. C. Transit Sys-
tenn which will be used for the
benefit of future riders.
Judge Luther w. Youngdahl
of United States District Court
signed the order after he asked
if there were any members of
the public who would care to
comment on the agreement,
There were none.
The fund is a result of q
court decision won by transit
riders who claimed in a suit
that a 1860 Public Utilities
Commission order sanctioning a
cash fare raise to rs cents was
unjuStified. But after the
United States Court of Appeals
ruled that the fare increase
was unjuStified, a 1861 P. U. c..
order backing the 25-cent in
crease was upheld.
Raise Held Unjustified
The complicated rate case
began when two attorneys,
Leonard N. Bebchick and
Leonard S. Goodman. sued to
block the 1860 increase ap-
proved by the P. U. c. After
initial setbacks, they won the
ruling that the fare increase
was unjustified.
However, D. C. Transit has
continued to collect the Is
cent cash fare because the
1861 P. U. C. order. not in
volved in the case, supports it.
The Supreme Court refused
last May to hear an appeal by
D. c. Transit concerning the
lower court Judgment that the
original cash fare raise granted
in 1860 was to be set aside as
unjustified. This paved the way
for the reserve fund.
To Be Carried on Books
AS set up in the court order,
the reserve fund will be estab-
lished on D. c. Transit's books.
No cash actually has been set
aside in the fund but the re-
serve will be available for the
benefit Of transit users in any
future rate proceedings.
Mr.. Bebchick and another
attorney, Harold Leventhal,
said today's order does not af-
feet another case now before
the United States Court of APP
peals. In this action, riders are
fighting an increase in d. C.
Transit's token fares granted
this year by the WMATC.

INSCRIPTIONS practices in the
sale of wigs.
Marcel A. Cadeaux, chairman
of the Board of Cosmetology,
put the problem in perspective.
Nowadays" he said, every
one is wearing wigs. Wig sales
are up tremendously in the last
few years. AS a result, many
women don't have to have their
hair cut anymore, or set. They
just put their wig on.
Have to Fight
80 we're all losing money"
he added. There's not one of
you who can tell me he's doing
just as well now as a few years
ago.
That's why you have to
fight this thing. You have to
fight because your means of
livelihood is being taken away,
because this business belongs
to you"
Mr.. Cadeaux said the wig
business has been invaded in
C considerable numbers by
truck drivers, shoe statesmen
and gangSters."
He urged that all licensed
beauticians and coSmetologists
write your Commissioners so
that everyone who sells wig
must be a licensed hair
dresser"
Robert Donatelli, a member
Iof the board of Cosmetology,
said the "non-licensed are vio-
Ilating the law and infringing
on our business just as soon as
they touch a woman's head" "
Mr.. Vincent, of Vincent ct
Vincent Hair Stylists, dashed
out against "the way the Dis
trict has been handling this
There has been no attempt
made to control newcomers to
the business" he charged. The

public hasn't been protected.
Some of these people are
selling $50 wigs for $3.50"
The members of the associa-
ton also accused the new wig
firms of raiding their estab-
lished beauty salons for hair
stylists.
Mr.. Cadeux said that lone
of my men was offered 5000 a
week" to go to new wig shop
The president of the associa-
ton, Mrs. Helen Polinger,
pointed out that our feelings
were that the wig people
should have been required to
become licensed a year ago."
but that no action was taken.
AS a result of Mr.. Cadeaux
interjected, you have truck
drivers combing women's hair"
Several members deplored
the fact that the practices of
the wig dealers reflect on us
as hairdressers and beauti-
Clans" and that "the profess
sion is being disgraced."
Complaints Pour In
Meanwhile the District De-
partment of Licensing and In
spections and the Better Busi-
ness Bureau reported that COM
plants and inquiries about wig
sales were pouring in hot and
heavy"
Most of the complaints were
fielded by the Licensing and

Raymond Smith, a convicted
narcotics poSsessor freed less
than a month ago by the
United States Court of APP
pealS on trial-delay grounds
was picked up by Washington
detectives last night and
charged with HOUSEKEEPING.
Police said Smith and an
other man we're charged with
breaking into a home in the
4700 block of Jay street NE
on Sunday morning, when
they were surprised by the
homeowner.
On August IS, the appellate
court ruled that Smith, who
was found guilty of narcotics
charges on April Is, 1862, had
been denied a speedy trial as
guaranteed by the Sixth
Amendment.
Five Delays Obtained
The three judge appellate
court noted that the United
States attorneys office had
obtained five delays Of the
trial, totaling 102 days, while
Smith remained in jail I'M

was released.
The appellate panels 2-to-l
opinion included a dissent by
Judge John A. Danaher, who
declared: If some members of
this court are not satisfied
with the way the criminal cal
endar is administered in the
District Court, there are other
ways and means open to the
court to deal with the situa-
ton"

US. Concerned at Increased Number Of Free-World Ship ips in Cuba Trade

WASHINGTON R - Secretary of State Dean Rusk said Thursday the United States is concerned about an increase in the number of free-world flag ships in the Cuba trade, and is taking up that question with the governments invloved"
 Rusk also told the American So- ciety of Newspaper Editors that the United States is making a serious, sustained, and effective effort' to deal with what he call ed the Marxist-Leninist threat in Cuba.
 This country, he said, has made a "major commitment" of military power to keep Cuba under sur veillance, to maintain the free use of water and air space around the island, and to make sure that Com munist arms are not shipped from Cuba to other Latin-American countries.
 Furthermore this country, he said. does not intend to see a "Hungarian-type revolution in Cuba, a reference to the use of Soviet military force in Hungary in 1856 to crush a popular uprising.
 On another front, Rusk reported, the United States is doing every thing possible, through measures of economic isolation, to demonstrate that Communism in Cuba is not profitable.
 Sen. Kenneth Heating, R-N.Y0, in an earlier address to the editors, asserted there has been mo sub- stantial reduction of Russian military forces in Cuba since mid November.
The Nome nugget., 1963-04-19

In effect taking issue with Pres ident Kennedy, Heating said he has information that new Soviet arri- vals have about matched the de- partures.
 There were and are ir the neighborhood of 17,000 men there" said the senator. 'No functional units have been withdrawn"
 Kennedy told his April news conference that some 4,000 Soviet troops had left in the preceding month, in addition to the 5000 pulled out in November.
 At the height of last falls crisis over Soviet missile bases in Cuba, there were an estimated 21,OOO to 22,O00 Soviet troops on the island. So the Presidents report indi- cated remaining total of only 12,0O0 or 13,000.
 Keating - resuming with relish his role as a foremost Republican critic of Kennedy's Cuban policies drew afresh on the undisclosed intelligence sources with which he has been challenging the ad- ministration for months.
 Several thousand personnel have left Cuba, several thousand more have arrived" he said.
 Furthermore, they should not be called troops when they are on their way out and technicians when they are on their way in.
 There is no reliable evidence whatsoever of a decline in Soviet military strength or capability since those first withdrawls in November"
 He charged also that some US. Navy ships have specific orders not to searchlight the small yes sels which he said constantly ply Cuban and Caribbean waters al night. He mentioned "Navy per. sonnep as his source of this in formation.

STRAIGHT TALK ABOUT AUTOMATION

methods and welfare hand outs? The answer is no!
 Automation was new in this country in 1784 when a con- tinuous-process flour mill was invented by Oliver Evans. It was new in 1788 when James Watt made a flyball governor to regulate the steam from his engine. Had there been labor unions when the wheel was invented, I suppose they would have objected. The only thing new about automation today is its name.
 Do you know who has been building the largest computer
The Nome nugget., 1963-04-19

and how long its been in the building process? The tele- phone companies. They intro duced the dial phone back in 1920. About 96%o of their 59 million phones are dial oper- ated today.
 In 1920 a cross country call cost $16.5O. Today it's $2.25. Without automation, many of us would not be able to afford phones today, let alone make calls. If the telephone com pany had not begun installing automatic switchboards in the early 192O's, it would take
The Nome nugget., 1963-04-19

every woman between IS and 30 in this country to handle the 90 billion calls we make a year.
 Most of us are too quick to count the jobs lost when auto nation arrives. We forget the new jobs created. Automation b ui l d new equipment and maintains it. It creates new markets through lower costs and prices.
 Automation is just another word for progress. Economists have proven over and over again that most of our unem- ployment comes from individ- uals mismanaging money; not from newer and quicker ways of doing things.
 27.5 million Americans were employed in 1900. Today, we can produce that 1900 national income with only II million WOfkerS. Our pOpulaClOn mas inc eas d 140%o. We have many more people to support.
 Fl million people are em- ployed today. The per cent of people actually working now has increased from 36%o in 1900 to 39% in 1862. Yet, the average work week has de- creased from 53 hours to un- der 40.
 Only selfish men with puny minds will think they can halt the march of progress and invention. Such resist ance to better ways of doing things may delay and handi- cap our national progress and our competitive position in the western world; but progress will not be stopped, and we would all be wise to recognize this fact.

Communist Assault In Laos Raises Question

WASHINGTON R - President Kennedy said today the Communist assault in Laos 'raises the ques- tlon of whether the Geneva ac- cords for neutral, independent Laos) are about to be destroyed.
 "1n the next few days" Kennedy told the American Society of News paper Editors, we will have a chance to see whether the Soviet Union and other parties to the in ternational agreement will let the international agreement be de- stroyed.
 This is "a matter of greatest concern for us now," he said

Comment from the Capitol =

Think of the changes in the way we live since the turn of the century. Wonder drugs save and prolong life. Jets circle the earth in 55 hours - astronauts in a little less than 90 minutes. Electronic teach CTS help children learn. Almost any civilized point on the globe is just a telephone call away. Climate can be con- trolled with air conditioners and humidifiers.
 Is this bad? A lot of people seem to think so. Pick up an article about new machinery and production methods. Most Of them never fail to mention the number of people forced out of jobs by advancing technology. One Gallup poll showed that people feared automation just a little less than Russia.
 Labor leaders, reaching for another cold beer from a gleaming refrigerator, blame automation for the unemploy- ment rate of 596. Many union contracts place job security over wage demands. The union leader forgets that automation changed his old icebox into the new mechanical refriger- ator. Only automation was called technology in the ice box days.
 Automation is the effort to reduce human drudgery by machines and to get the most out of money invested in new plants and new machinery. Individual initiative and in vestment is what brings us all the boons of modern life. Does it make sense to junk this system in favor of feather bedding, restriction, obsolete

there is today more widespread assurance that both peace ano assurance can prevail"
 He added that, while vigilance cannot be relaxed, there is a tend ency among many newspaper read CTS and writers to devote more at tention to the domestic scene.
 In toto, the speech added up to a massive plea for the program he has submitted to Congress, in- cluding his proposed S1O billion net tax cut, spread over three years.
 As for the average family man in Random Village" Kennedy said, the cut would reduce his federal taxes about 20 per cent. The whole community, he said, twill benefit even more from the stimulation in jobs and personal income that the tax cut will give to the nation"
 "The federal government is the the people - and the budget is 8 reflection of their needs," Ken nedy said. He said that to cut dollar of expenditures for every dollar cut in taxes would remove with one hand the stimulus given with the other.
 Let us understand, then" the President said, "that every dollar cut in federal expenditures cuts even more from our gross national product. A cut of $5 billion now from the proposed federal budget, as many have suggested, would cause one million fewer jobs by the end of the fiscal year. It would offset all the benefits winch the tax cut would have brought by then.
 And if that lower level of ex. penditures were maintained there after, it would eventually cause not only a recession, but an evel greater budgetary loss in revenu than the amount supposedly saved.
 Kennedy was repeating her
 familiar arguments he has lai
 down before.
 A $15 billion budget cut, Ker nedy repeated, would cripple tn nations defenses, make it perrnan ently second-best in space, an virtually turn the clock back il every American community"
