Conference Here to Air
Urban Transit Problems

Some of the Nations most
prominent transportation ex-
perts, including some who
worked on recent Washington
area transit proposals, are
scheduled to speak here next
month at a conference on tran
sit development.
The conference, sponsored by
the United States Chamber of
Commerce, is expected to at
tract an estimated 800. 1t is
being billed as the first big
conference on the development
of urban passenger trans
portation.
Because Washington is the
latest metropolitan area to
complete a planning process
for a transit system, the local
rail transit proposals are ex.
pected to be used as examples
at the conference. Recent Con-
gressional rejection of the local
system also is expected to be
analyzed.
Among the experts at the
conference will be John C.
Kohl, assistant administrator
for transportation for the

Agency. Mr.. Kohl helped re-

BUSY YEAR AT DISTRICT COURT
Judges to Cut Vacation Time toAttack Backlog

Appeals also handled a large
volume of business this year.
OF particular local significance
were the several opinions
further defining guidelines of
police procedure.
Limitations on Police
Police Chief Robert v. Muir
ray says court opinions limit
ing police in the questioning of
suspects and eliciting confess
sions after arrests amount to
Handwriting" authorities. But
the court has continued to
stress the rights of the indi-
vidual in these cases.
This whole subject has been
the basis for lengthy hearings
this year on a major crime bill,
passed August 13 by the House
There are many District groups
for and against the measure,
which aims to modify court
restrictions on police.
An opinion of individual
rights reaching national impor-
tance was handed down just a
few days ago by the appellate
court when it overturned the
conviction of the Communist
Party of the United States. The
court said the Government
would have to show that some
one was willing to register the
party with the Justice Depart
ment as a Communist action"
group. It said an individual
could refuse to file for the par
ty if he felt that to do so might
tend to incriminate him.
Then only two days before
Christmas the court upheld a
District Court decision refusing
to issue an order that would
stop the Governments nuclear

P. u. c. also took into consid-
Grafton "the increase in the
cost of passenger cars used for
taxicabs and the increased cost
Of maintainence, repairs, tires,
tubes and other items having a
direct bearing on the taxi driv-
er'S pay"
Another factor weighed by
the commission was the aver
age earnings of drivers in COM
parable occupations, Mr.. Greco
said.
He added that the intention
of the commission is to directly
increase the net pay Of cab
drivers and not to have the in
crease absorbed by cab COM
| panieS and associatio S
through increased cab rentals
or dues.
Should such a siphoning take
place, Mr.. Greco said, "this
commission will Immediately
exercise its full power over the
cab companies and aSSocia-
tions."
The decision Of the three
member commission to increase
the rates was unanimous, Mr.
Greco said.
1t was reached after six
months of public hearings, in
which the commission heard
and studied $40 pages of testi-
mony and examined 43 exhibits

Flying Home
From Africa

Sam. the world-traveling
dachshund, is spending his
Christmas day on a 20-hour
flight back to the United
States, his owner said today.
Because the State Depart
ment Is so eager to get him
back. Sam has been scheduled
on the first available flight out
of Conakry, Guinea. TIL e
schedule calls for Sam to trans
fer several times. and to take
flights that touch at Paris and
London.
Sometime tomorrow, the pup
is to land at New York City,
where veterinarians are plan
ming a careful medical check
for him.
Sans owner, Maxwell C.
Moulton, of 4448 Reservoir road,
NV, said the veterinarians
at Friendship Hospital for
Animals. 4105 Brandywine
street NV, had recommended
careful poSt-trip care for the
2-year-old dachshund. Sam
will have had five definite
changes of climate and the
doctors want to make sure he
is in fine shape before releas-
ing him.
Sans troubles started when
Mrs. James Loeb, wife Of the
United States Ambassador to
Guinea, picked up a VERY af-
fectionate" dachshund at the
animal hospital last week. Mrs.
Loeb thought the dog was Eric,
a dachshund she had bought q
few days ago, but because of a
human error" at the hospital
attendants there gave her Sam.
Mr.. Moulton, who has owned
Sam for the past two years
naturally was concerned, and
the hospital did everything il
could to get the dachshund
back, the dogs owner said
today.
The confusion over identifi-
cation came at the worst pos
sible moment. just as Mr.. Loeb
was preparing to fly with his
new dachshund back to Conak-
ry, the capital of Guinea.
Sans flight on the way over
was straight from New York to
Conakry.
Mrs. Loeb, who said the con-
fusion over Identification was
natural because Sam was ''very
affectionate" and "snuggled in.
to my arms" yesterday sent
her husband the latest in 9
series of kilograms. Mr.. Loeb'S
earlier telegram yesterday ex-
pressed doubt that he had Sam
and not Eric.
Her telegram said:

of Cedar Knoll put it, got a ra.

ments of improvement, I'd say
it was a thousand fold. It gave
him a bit of stature" Now the
youngster is a volunteer at the
Washington Hospital Center.
Another twist to Mr.. Ralph's
activities has been to convince
entertainment places such as
drive-in movie theaters and the
Wax Museum to admit these
youngsters free of charge. He
hopes to be able to get them
into bowling alleys, industrial
plants and airports in the neal
future.

The taxicab industry is a

The $500 registered cabs
