bill yesterday. He was Joined
by Democratic Senator's Byrd
Of Virginia, Eastland of Missis-
sippi. Johnston Of South Caro-
lima and Mcclellan of Arkansas.
In the Mallory ruling of 1857,
the Supreme Court held that a
confession could not be adj
mitted to evidence because
seven and one-half hours had
elapsed before the prisoner was
taken before a magistrate. Sem
ator Erwin said this was car
ried further in the Killough
case, in which a confession
made after arraignment was
invalidated.
Senator Erwin cited "the
rising tide Of crime in the Dis
trict" as one reason that the
Mallory decision should be
reversed.
The Senator called It ''un-
sound and unreasonable" to
apply time alone as a measure
Of the admissibility of evidence.
The Mallory decision, he said,
"subverts a rule Of procedure
relating 10 the duty of an
arresting officer into a rule of
evidence.
Because a police officer fails
to observe the requirements Of
Rule 5-a requiring that an
arrested person be taken before
a committing officer without
unnecessary delay. a self-con-
fessed criminal may be turned
back to society. even though he
may have confessed again
subsequent 10 his arraignment.
I'm other words, the sup
posed sins OF the policeman are
visited upon an innocent So
ciety. 80.
Il submit that when Con-
gresS approved the promulga-
ton Of the Federal Rules OF
Criminal Procedure. II did not
intend TO throw on the scrap
heap the time-honored test OF
voluntariness concerning the
admissibility Of a confession"
Senator Erwin, who Is chair
man Of the Senate Subcommit-
tee on Constitutional Rights,
said the Supreme Court did not
base It's Mallory decision on
any constitutional issue but
merely on Rule 5-a.

locally in the agency budget
by Mr.. Bierwagen.
Mr.. Cushman, formerly
counsel for the local union,
said Secretary Writ had not
talked at all about protection
to continue after public agen-
cies acquired private transit
companies.
Also, he argued strongly for
legally binding requirements
that collective bargaining. vol
untary arbitration and pension
benefits be honored in any
shift from private to public
ownership.
Amalgamated has an almost
unique record of constitutions
ally banning strikes until its
unions have offered to arbi-
trate and have been refused
by management. This is a
"fair-mindsd approach" that
members do not want de-
stroyed," Mr.. Cushman said.
He maintained that the real
and present danger to workers
by prospective public owner
ship was that some State courts
and administrators had held
that public operation legally
freed managers from entering
into collective bargaining and
voluntary arbitration.
Pensions Discussed
AS for pensions, a man with
so years private transit service
going into a public system is
faced, Mr.. Cushman said, with
this argument: The public
agency likes to take the fellow
over to its retirement system,
negating prior service and
counting only service with the
public body.
He said automation required
legal guarantees that transit
employees be given not only
priority chance at public
transit jobs, but that they re-
ceive paid retraining, if neces-
sary, and benefits if cast out
of work entirely.
Senator Williams, Democrat
of New Jersey, sponsor Of the
Federal transit program, asked
If Mr.. Bierwagen's union and
the transportation agency here
were not in agreement on labor
policy.
Mr.. Bierwagen, who was il
the audience. explained, I'VE
are in agreement on what
ought to be done. We are not
agreed on the legislation in
which it should be done.
Il am reasonably satisfied
that, if this agency operates
a metropolitan system. we will
be reasonably protected"
A clause in the law that Gre
ated the agency prohibits &C
tual transit operations until
Congress has adapted a labor
policy.

Council on Aging Asked
The council heard a plea
from William c. Fitch of the
Advisory Committee on Aging
for establishment of a council
on aging here.
The Advisory Committee was
named by Commission John B.
Duncan. who is responsible for
welfare matters.
Mr.. Fitch urged that a nine
member council be created,
which would include heads of
city departments, to be directly
responsible to the Commits
sioners.
Among the things the coun-
fcil could do is establish Volun-
tary Service Corps of Senior
Citizens to help with such
projects as distributing surplus
food, and work for the rehabil-
itation Of Lorton Reformatory
inmates. Mr.. Fitch said.
The council also could help
reduce illiteracy by finding
older persons who could teach
younger ones to read and
write.
Chairman Dudley referred
the matter o. a council on
aging to a special committee
for study.

The

-. Spies
On Fort Marcy
BY JOHN McKELWAY

ny JUhN MckELWAY
(Atter reading too much
about the Ciuil War and after
tho disappointing trips to
Fort Marcy, located Just
above Chain Bridge, on the
Virginia side of the Potomac.)
To: Gen. Robert E. Lee
From: I. Spy
Subject: Washington Forti-
fications
General: I slipped into the
Capital over a real long
Bridge by posing as a for
mer District Commission
er and obtained lodging at
the National Hotel-single
room, no bath.
As you remember, the fort
you were primarily inter-
ested in is one called Fort
Marcy, located on our side
Of the river, above the Chain
Bridge.
After asking a few dis
Greet questions in the bar,
I decided the best way to
reconnoiter would be to take
a picnic lunch out to the
fort on a Sunday afternoon.
I stocked a wicker basket
with fried chicken and grits
and headed out the new
George Washington Memo
rial parkway, a fine road,
built since Bull Run. l think
it is the best way to enter
Washington. For one thing,
it's all down hill and it
would be difficult to defend
If Fort Marcy can be
ignored. You all would get a
nice view of the city, besides.
Surprisingly, / was asked
few questions as / made my
way through the pickets. 1t
was a beautiful day and, APP
parently, one of the first
good ones they've had after a
long, hard winter.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-03-08

ARRIVING AT THE EN-
TRANCE to Fort Marcy I
was quite disappointed. The
chicken had spoiled in the
heat and the gritS had
leaked through a handy
cardboard container all over
a pair of socks I had packed
for the walk back to Wash
ington.
And, too, it was obvious
to me the fort might well be
impregnable.
At the entrance, off the
parkway, there is a heavy,
wooden gate across the road.
An exit, which, at least in
war, could be used as a Sec
ond entrance, is barred by a
chain.
The road winds up a slight
rise and then is lost in a
thick thicket of trees and
underbrush. The fort itself
is probably up in these trees
but I could not get a clean
look at it. I should also
mention there is a chain
link fence running around
the fort. As I did not wish to
tear my pants and draw at
tention, I did not attempt
to climb over it.
Now, a sign at the en-
trance said the place was
CLOSED" l i'm m e dia tely
judged this to be a rather
weak attempt at secrecy.
But, checking myself-as
you've always told me to do
Il returned the following
Tuesday, posing as a pewter
plate salesman, and found
the sign was still up and the
gate still down.

tees, to a Senate Appropriations
subcommittee.
Neither union officials nor
agency administrators knew
the other hearing was going on.
When they were informed,
both Agency Administrator c.
Darwin Stolzenbach and Walter
Bierwagen, AFL-CIO Local
Transit Union president, said
they were agreed on principles.
Mr.. Stolzenbach said he be-
lieved union guarantees should
be written into the act of Con-
gress that either authorizes his
agency or another public body
to operate transit, should such
a law eventuate.
I'VE want projections in the
current appropriations bill, I"
Mr.. Bierwagen said. IF one
shovelful of dirt is turned for
the agency, that is the begin
ming Of the need for protection
for workers now employed by
private transit systems"
The Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Street, Electric Railway
and Motorcoach Employees
(AFL-CIO) is organized in
three metropolitan firms-the
D. c. Transit System, the Ar
mold Lines and AB&W, liz
Alexandria.
Writ Proposal Rejected
The firm labor position par
alleled that of the national
AFL-CIO Executive Council. Its
representative, Andrew Bic
meller, promised a Senate
Banking Subcommittee precise
language recommended by the
AFL-CIO by tomorrow. He
wants the language in Federal
legislation for grants to help
develop modern urban transit
facilities.
Labor has rejected as made
quate the proposal. also de-
livered to the Banking Subcom-
mittee this morning, by Secre-
tary Writ.
Mr.. Writ asked that flair
and equitable arrangements
be guaranteed labor in law as
a condition of granting any
assistance or the financing OF
any project under the Federal
transitpPogram. The Writ
language said arrangements
included preservation of pen
sion rights, collective bargain
ing rights, protection against a
"worsening" Of individuals en-
ployment, and priority for
presently employed transit
workers on new jobs.
Protection Big Issue

posal is expected to be precisely

LATER THAT NIGHT, in
the Nationals bar, the
whole, incredible story came
bling out. A total
stranger, who turned out be
a disgruntled historian with
the Union Park Service, re-
vealed the following
The Park Service ppr-
chased the land several
years ago, in conjunction
with its plan to build the
present parkway.
The Service correctly
guessed that, in the event Of
war, the site probably would
be turned into a fort, one of
a number to be thrown up
around Washington to pro-
tect Congress.
It wanted TO hold title to
the land so that 1t could re-
construct the fort after the
war. But before turning 1t
over to the Army, or the
public, 1t planned TO set up
appropriate historical mark
ers and build a number OF
trails.
The Park Service director
also ruled that Union troops
would not be allowed TO use
the parkway until the Fair
fax Flower Association had
identified and marked all
the wild flowers on the
knoll.
President Lincoln is FUN
ing. He can't get troops into
the fort. He can't under
stand why IL has taken the
Park Service so long 10 open
the fort. I can't either.
But I think we should in
wade now! II you decide 10
do so. you can reach me at
the National.

Old D. C. Transit Buses
Raped at Fare Hearing

however, that GSA was not
making any recommendation
for a fare cut or any other fare
structure.
His testimony, however, did
recommend elimination or re-
duction of several expenses and
reserves charged to the fare
payers in the company's justi-
fications for the fare increase.
Based on these assumptions,
the GSA exhibits show that
with a Decent token and a
25-cent cash fare, the COM
pany would earn a AZ per cent
return on gross operating rev.
enue.
This is within the range of
Al and 40 per cent allowed
the company in its last two
fare cases, but below the SIS
per cent which the company's
franchise says would not be
unreasonable"
At present fares, GSA cal
culates the company would
earn 7 per cent but with the
straight 25-cent fare proposed
the return would iump to 1877
per cent.
Stay Asked
Meanwhile. D. c. Transit has
requested the United States
Court of Appeals to stay all
action in the bus fare dispute
pending an appeal to the
United States Supreme Court.
The Court Of Appeals decided
on January 81 that the 25-cent
cash fare was unjustifiably
collected from March 6, 1860, to
January Is, 1861. Later, the
court ordered d. g. Transit to
set up a reserve fund of the
surplus nickels-about 81 mil
lion-for the benefit of the
riding public.
D. C. Transit also asked for
a stay Of a subsequent action
before the Court Of Appeals
contesting the present 25-cent
cash fare, which was instituted
on January Is, 1861, and is
presently being collected. Both
tariffs were approved by the
Public Utilities Commission.
D. C. Transit asked the court
to stay all action, orders and
judgments not later than to-
morrow. 1t said it would apply
for a writ Of certiori TO the
Supreme Court asking for re-
lief and a final disposition of
the case.

A witness for the Federal
Government said today the
D. C. Transit System should
not be allowed to charge higher
fares until it starts retiring
some of its buses that are more
than II years old.
Alexander j. Lipske, jr., a
rate analyst for the General
Services Administration, which
is opposing the company's APP
plication for a fare increase,
was asked by Harvey M. Spear,
the company's counsel, how the
company could afford to buy
rs new buses each year for
replacement if it is not allowed
to raise the depreciation
charges by writing the buses
off over a 14-year period rather
than over IL years.
Mr.. Lipske said the company
first should make a good
showing" of taking some of
the 1879 buses that are 20 to %
years old out of service. He
maintained that the deprecia-
ton charges should coincide
with the actual period in which
the buses are in service.
He said the company could
come back after it started re-
firing the older buses and show
that it is moving toward a IA
year life and entitled to de-
probation on that basis.
VIVA Situation Cited
| Mr.. Spear, however, got Mr..
Lipske to admit that when he
was employed by a local bus
company (WMA) he had rec
commended a l0-year deprecia-
ton life for that company even
though a substantial number
Of its buses were kept in service
for more than 10 years.

ton with a company that was
not at all comparable to the
company in this proceeding, :"
