q further increase, but now has
the effect Of preventing the
Appeals Court decision in the
1860 case from resulting in q
fare cut.
Yesterday the company won
a suspension Of proceedings to
set up the transit riders fund
while it files papers to ask the
Supreme Court to review the
Appeals Court decision.
Although the P. U. C. did
not join in the request for the
stay Of the proceedings in the
1850 case, there was some spec
ulation on whether 1t would
join the company in the APP
peal to the Supreme Court.
p. u. C. Statement
1.-THE P. U. C. has reached a
decision not to petition for GER
tiorari writ Of certiorari ask
ing the court to hear the
case) because we do not see
enough substance in the OBJ
jections to the Appeals Court
opinion to proceed" Chairman
James A. Washington. jr., of
the P. U. c. said today when
asked what the commission in
tended to do.
He said the company asked
the P. U. c. to join in the pc
tition to the Supreme Court but
the p. U. C.. has advised the
company Of the decision not to
press the case.
The 1861 order unfolding the
ascent fare is also being chal-
lenged in a separate case by
the two lawyers, Leonard N.
Bebchick and Leonard s. Good
man. 1t is in District Court
on appeal from the p. u. C. but
on appeal from the p. U. c. but
has not been pushed for argu-
ment while the 1860 case has
been in litigation.
Attack 1851 Order
Mr.. Bebchick said that they
would try to upset the 1861
order in order TO get the fare
back to 20 cents. The lawyers
have contended that the
p. U. c. made virtually the
same errors" in the 1861 de-
cision as 1t did in the 1860
case.
Since the 1860 order. the
entire membership Of the three
man p. u. c. has changed and
Jurisdiction over the transit
company has passed TO the
Washington Metropolitan Area
Tranist Commission. The latter
Is currently weighing a request
by d. c. Transit for elimination
OF 20-cent tokens In favor of q
straight 25-cent cash fare.
Ironically. District Engineer
Commissioner Frederick ],
Clarke participated in the 1861
order as a member Of the
p. u. c. Now he is the Districts
representative on and chairman
Of the WMATC. Brig. Gen.
Clarke said that he concurred
In the p. u. c. decision not TO
press the 1860 case because of
the advice Of the p. U. c. staff

Rollins said. "a critical factor
for becoming a success in al
most any field is understanding
people what makes them tick
and what motivates them. Young
sters in a small community get
to know and under stand all kinds
of people much better than their
city -slicker' cousins.
"Lives of people in smaller
towns are more open to analy-
sis. In the city, even neighbors
are anonymous. The intelligent
and curious youngster in a small
community can see who is sue
ceSSful in his career and why.
"In addition" he said, "in a
small town young man or wo-
man can try ones hand at work
early in life. Generally, many
kinds Of part-time jobs are
available to those who want
them. BY having job and work

stantial contributions to our
modern society.
To young men and women who
want to succeed in business.
Rollins gave the following sug-
geStionS:
l. Develop the ability to COM
municate and persuade. If you
cannot express your ideas in
telligently and interestingly, it
will be very difficult to achieve
your detectives.
2. Learn how to tell when
you've outlived a particular job
and are ready to move on to
something bigger and more
challenging.
8. Pick up the ability to save
early in life. Accumulate capi-
tai. Later in life, you will find
that having personal 'capltal' is
invaluable. II you have 10 money
OF your own to put on the line
in business venture, few other
people will want to stake their
funds on it.
