CLAYTON 0PPOSED ' T0 ONE-MAN CARS [ Lower Fares Suggested if That Type of Service Is Continued Here. * fTaking the position that one-man | cars give a service inferior to two- man cars, William McK. Clayton of the Federation of Citizens' Associa- tions told the utilities commission yes. terday afternoon that their use could be defended only by providing a lower rate of fare where the one-man car is used. Although the only question pending at this time is whether a better type | of one-man car should be subs: for the type already in oper; the Anacostia 1 the mee veloped into a debate on the subject of oneman operation in the District. ion on The meeting had been arranged as | a purely informal session to permit Mr. Clayton to furnish the commis- sion with some data on the pending request.

He also took the position that if the ne the reason cars, the financis : company should be adequate rates | and not by ehanging the service, ests Carline Merger. Another contention advanced by Clayton was that if economy Is the object sought, it should be attained through merger of the companies rather than by using_one g 1t is not appropriate, Mr. Cl - gued, to make the National Capital a one-man-car tow | When M one-man type of that Wi vton was contending constitute an inferior Mr. Childress said dmitted on all added that while the commission cerning the operation of the Spanish-Italian Air Pact Signed.
