CHICAGO, Jan. 23.—The Nation’s bus lines want a 10 per cent increase in passenger fares, too. Chairman L. C. Markel of the Na- tional Bus Traffic Association, which he said represents 95 per cent of bus traffic, announced operators’ pro- | posals were similar to those ap- proved for the railroads. The Inter- state Commerce Commission on Wednesday authorized railroads to raise fares and Mr. Markel sald the bus lines hoped to make their in- creases effective simultaneously. Proposed changes, the chairman said, will not affect rates for mili- tary travel. Mr. Markel said increased bus operating costs were “similar to if not in excess of increased costs of the railroads” and that officials of the bus industry agreed the rela- tionship between railroad coach and | bus fares should not be disturbed. ‘The chairman said he would ap- ply to the I. C. C. for authority to publish new tariffs on 10 days’ no- tice, instead of the 30 days normally required. If this were approved, he said, the companies would file new tariffs which would become effective Nearing the close of John's de- | fense against a first-degree murder, accusation it was indicated his at- torneys would produce additional | witnesses to testify that the bov‘ couldn’t have been in the vicinity | of this quiet county seat the pight | of September 24, 1941, when Mrs. | Watsore and her sister, Miss Belle | Geary, 80, were attacked and robbed | as they walked home.

LONDON, Jan. 22 —Flight Lt. F. L. Raikes, Conservative, gave the House of Commons & laugh yesterday in referring to a speech in which Prime Min- ister Churchill had said British airdromes would be defended even if the defenders had to use pikes and other weapons of medieval warfare. “One result came of that speech which would have been humorous if it had not shown a kindergarten mentality,” said Lt. Raikes. “I know that at several air stations pikes at once were ordered.” Where They Are Fighting From the National The capture of Tavoy, set about halfway along the slim stem of Burmese territory in the writhing Malay Peninsula, provides Japan not only with a new and convenient base for attack but also with a con- siderable quantity of valuable raw | materials of war. | Tavoy is less than an hour's | bomber ride from the Burmese cap- | ital of Rangoon, especially valuable | to the Allies as the gateway to| China’s “Burma road” and to over- | land routes leading into vast and | populous India. Tavoy, which long had been a| busy seaport for costal trade in nearby waters, in addition was equipped with a commercial air- field. Following the outbreak of the | European war, the port and its| environs had become especially noted abroad as a source of certain needed war materials.
