Vo'. 14 Thursday, November 24, :!.949 No. 14 ----Bati:le Over - 'War On

Capital Transit's letter to Greenbelters last week ce-rtainly in­dic . .t.l.es that o'ne of the battles in the giant tn.nsportation utility's co:..1st2.nt war against its Greenbelt patrons is over, and another abc ut ·to begin. Victors in the first skirmish are decidedly The Pec·ple. Af:..er all, u;c aren't writing thern letters telling them how wonderful we are if they'd only try us!

It's a lhr:iUing-and rare--experience to see Power recog::1.i·~e Pee ple.. Greenbelters, justif:ahly angry at a huge rate increase CQilpled with a decreaf;le in service, decided to find more convenient anci economical means uf commuting. The Cooperator, in an ef­tort to expand the car-pool progrHm, offered f:cee advertising space to ~hose wanting or offering a ride. In the ·~wo years that have pas3ed since that time, the number of people forced to commut<~ via putlic transit has dwindled to a highly unsatisfactory number, :from Ca{•itrtl Transit's standpoint. (Hince the staff continues to 0ppose tnc public-be-damned attitude of the "public utility," notices of ridf's or riders wanted will again be received by telephone.)

Vvashingtonians, sick of having the transit monopoly's high raks, poo1· ·service, and enforced music-listening shoved down tl1eir th:co>ats, should t<~ke a leaf from· the Greenbelt book. For whib C~I=ital Transit can threaten us with abandonment of the mE·2.ger sel"'rice still left us, we doubt if those tactics would succeed with the thousands of riders in the whole area.

NOT SCHIZOPHRENIC The»e are har,.,h words when ap­

plied as in The Cooperator lead news story of last we~k. They have elicited rejoinder from t!te accuserl, all of which contributes little to the ba.."iic unity we must haYe ·if we are to achieve ownership of OU!' City.

As one with knowledge of the facts, I can sav Th~ Cooperator was undulv concer'ned that the Board of GVHC had lost sigh~ of its only le­gitimate •)bjectiYe, namely mutual purchase of Green he! t for its resi­dents. The EDITOES, however, had. just enough information to make them break a story which

, 'w.'ls not nnly news. but which in .their minds gave rise L serious mis­f:ivings as to the direction in which GVH<;:: was moving. Had our po­sitions been reversed. many of us would have reacterl a~ tJ,ey did.

It will serve no useful purpose he1·e to argue details of the story t)r to refute certain misinterpreta1ions ·or mis-statements-Better that the excitement and heat be directed to con<;tructive ends. GVHC will now call a ·tnemb~rship meeting. Mis­takenly perhaps. but none-the-l:!ss sincerely, it has not dor.e so be­·Causc of the absence of specific in-

formation \vhich would b;:-ing the men1bers out. Past experien =·~ r,f G~IHOC ha.; cer:ainly demonstrat­ed that t<;o many people were ·,,·ill­ing to let a few iace tl•<> frustratin~­task of keeping the objecti,:e ali,·c· until PlL\ finally is in a pn,ition t<• take act;c,n under Public Law CO.
