Congress for anything new
the Park Service has always
had the authority to charge

However, the proposed legisla-

The legislation is designed to

Sergeant Missiles Go
To Europe This Month

Sergeants is scheduled to ar
rive in Europe this month, the
Pentagon said, with additional
battalions replacing Corporal
units during the next several
months.
The Sergeant, IN addition TO
being q faster firing and more
reliable weapon, requires fewer
men and less maintenance
equipment than the Corporal.
The Army describes the
Sergeant as rugged, reliable,
accurate and mobile"
It travels toward its target
at speeds faster than sound,
It is 34.5 feet long. 81 inches
in diameter and weighs five
tons.
A Sergeant battalion has
two launching batteries. The
Corporal battalion has only
one. This means q far faster
firing rate for q Sergeant bat
talon and q capability to
propel q larger number of war
heads in q given time.

Erwin Bill Seeks
To Overturn
Mallory Decision

Senator Erwin, Democrat Of
North Carolina. today blamed
the rising tide Of crime In the
District partly on the Mallory
decision. and introduced . bill
to set 1t aside.
In the Mallory case In 1857
the Supreme Court held that
q confession could not be used
in court because Of q delay OF
seven and one-half hours In
taking the prisoner before q
magistrate. Senator Erwin said
this doctrine was carried fur
ther in the Killough case,
which invalidated an admission
made after the accused had
been taken before a magis-
trate.
1.-THE rising tide Of crime in
the District Of Columbia points
up once again the need for
legislation to reverse this
trend" said Senator Erwin.

GSAOpens Arguments
Against Bus Fare Rise

The General Services Admin
istration today started present.
ing its case against a fare in
crease by D. c. Transit system.
According to the GSA ex-
hibits, the company could even
reduce fares and earn q profit
within the range it has been
allowed in past fare cases.
GSA, which had to 60 to
court to gain admission as an
intervenor before the Washing
ton Metropolitan Area Transit
Commission, differed sharply
with the company on expenses
and revenues.
One exhibit introduced today
showed that If the company
were granted its proposed fare
increase elimination of 20
cent tokens In favor Of a
straight 25-cent cash fare), ii
would earn a return on reve-
nues nearly three times the rate
of return it has been allowed
in previous cases.
In addition, the exhibit
claims that a Decent token
and ascent cash fare would
yield the company a a. per
cent return on revenues, COM
pared to the 40 per cent al
lowed in its last fare case.
Alexander j. Lipske, IT,, rate
analyst for GSA's transporta-
ton and communications serv-
ice, said he disagreed with the
company's figures on six prin-
cipal items: s..
/. That the loss Of revenue
from passenger resistance to
the proposed fare increase
would be about 1865. 900 greater
than the company estimated.
2. Depreciation Of buse s
should remain on a 17-year
basis rather than on the IA
year basis for newer buses pro-
posed BY the company.
3. Charges for depreciation
on abandoned rail properties Of
100000 should be eliminated.
4. Reductions in overall de-
probation of about 81 million
per year ordered by the Dis
trict Public Utilities Commits
sion should be continued al
this rate rather than at a re-
duced rate Of about $270, 900
