D. C. Transit System today
is one step closer to its goal of
capturing 80 per cent Of the
w ashington Metropolitan
Areas passenger traffic.
The company appeared be-
fore the Washington Metropoli-
tan Area Transit Commission
yesterday in Arlington, Va, to
seek approval of acquiring "a
per cent of the shares Of the
Washington, Virginia g. Mary
land Coach Co. (Arnold Line)
If the purchase is approved
D. C. Transit will have its first
major franchise right to oper-
ate in Virginia. It already has
substantial operations in Mont
Igomery and Prince Georges
Counties of Maryland.
The Arnold Line and D. c.
Transit presently overlap in
some areas and a transfer serv-
ice has been provided customers
changing from one line to an
other in committing to and
from the city.
The only witness to appear
at the public hearing yesterday
for d. c. Transit was Parker
c. Peterman, a vice president.
SIS Million Shares
He testified that his company
has negotiated to buy 27,72O
shares, or IS per cent of the
stock of the Arnold Line, from
w. George Faraco for about
SIS million.
Mr.. Peterman's company has
made an offer for the remain
ing % per cent.
D. C. Transit, he said, plans
no changes in scheduling or in
personnel on the Arnold Line if
the purchase is approved.
Mr.. Peterman said the pur-
chase will enable D. C. Transit
to furnish better service
through improved co-ordina-
ton Of schedules and transfer
points.
Concern Over Fares
His testimony did not touch
on the possibility of increases
in fares, but Charles E. Ham
mond, executive assistant of
the Public Utilities Commission
of Arlington County, expressed
concern over this point.
Alan r. Lyness, counsel for
the Amalgamated Association
OF Street, Electric Railway and
Motor Coach Employees of
America, which represents the
unions in both transit COM
panies, wanted assurances that
pension and other beenfits
would not be threatened by the
purchase Of Arnold Line.

Silent Walk Proposed
By Leaders of March

Inc DISTRICT M0Dlllzatl0n
Committee for the August %
March on Washington agreed
unanimously last night that a
walk in complete silence from
the Washington Monument to
the Lincoln Memorial would be
an impressive plea for civil
rights legislation.
The suggestion was advanced
by Belford Lawson, one of three
co-chairmen of the local group
working to turn out $4,000
District residents for the
march. Henry Dixon, president
of the Federation of Civic As
Sociations, and Richard Lyon,
president Of the Jewish Com
munity Council, are the other
co-chairmen of the committee.
1.-THE most powerful thing we
could do is walk silently and
never say a mumbling word"

toned against excessive hand
clapping and singing during
the march.

call for the marchers to sing
one song, I'VE Shall Over

ton for consideration at its

there will be entertainment
until the march to the Lincoln
Memorial begins at noon. Out
