Lawyer Raps Metro Lines
By United Press
City Attorney Roger Arne-bergh, who opposed moves to hike public transportation fares in the Los Angeles area, today | asked that Metropolitan Coach j Lines “improve its equipment j and service.”
His statement came after the j State Public Utilities Commission [ authorized a two-cent increase, J from 15 to 17 cents, in basic cash fares on the Metro, Los Angeles Transit and Glendale Lines.
The fare hikes will become effective March 7.
Arnebergh said he was “pleased” that the commission denied a proposed increase in school fares and also turned down a Metropolitan request to switch from rail to bus transportation in the Long Beach, Belleflower, Watts and San Pedro communities.
“If Metro will now improve its equipment and service, the public will respond with increased patronage, Arnebergh stated.
Today’s ruling did not affect the price of token fares in the Los Angeles area, except in cases where commuters travel from one zone to another. Increases in such cases were from two to three cents.

Agenda Calls For Vote On Accepting Veteran Stan Dunn's Resignation
By David C. Henley
A special meeting of the senate has been called for noon today by ASSC Vice-President Joan Price to officially accept the resignation of Veteran’s Representative Stanley Dunn and to consider a motion to postpone until March 2 and 3 the election of ASSC secretary. (This election is presently scheduled for Wednesday, February 23.)
Vice-President Price will preside over today’s meeting due to the absence of ASSC President Bill Van Alstyne who
is attending a “Trojan Caravan” conclave in San Diego. Miss Price yesterday expressed a wish for every senator to attend this special meeting as a quorum is needed to accept Dunn’s resignation and to vote on the secretary issue.
Elections Commissioner Bette Dobkin said yesterday that she is sponsoring the motion to delay the balloting on the ASSC Secretary position because it is possible that a vote for new senators may be needed soon and that “it would be very costly to run two separate elec tions, especially when they can be consolidated.”
Mrs. Dobkin said that “a computing firm downtown is checking the grade point averages of the senators who now hold office as there is a possibility that some senators might be forced to resign because grade averages last semester do not' meet the school requirements. < An average ■of 2, or C is necessary).
She added it will be at least one more week until the results are tallied and that petitions for the secretary post will now be accepted until February 23. (The deadline for petitions was yesterday, but Mrs. Dobkin is confident her motion will be approved so she is taking petitions for one more week).
The only petition received by Mrs. Dobkin as of press time last night is from Barbara Frank president of Alpha Gamma Delta sorority.
The Elections Commissioner also said that she is accepting petitions for the office Veteran’s Representative, which Dunn will resign from today at noon.

Lockley Speaks
Dean Lawrence C. Lockley, of the School of Commerce, told a luncheon club gathering that by looking at dollars and cents wage rates alone, labor and management put themselves on opposite sides of a problem for which their actual interests are mutual.
“It is not dollars or take-home pay that the daily *rage-w'orker can enjoy, but it is the standard of living that is basic for him,” Dean Lockley said. “It is not the money wage but the labor cost that management must watch. Thus, a high standard of living and a low labor cost are not in conflict. They are merely
the result of the efficient organization of manufacturing and the conscientious application of labor.”
In a high-school address, Dr. James A. Peterson, associate professor of sociology, said that if the current divorce trend continues, the nation will have half as many divorces as marriages by 1965.

• L. A. Divorces
“In Los Angeles,” Dr. Peterson went on, “we already have half the marriages ending in divorce. From that aspect, Los Angeles is confronted with the condition which will face the rest of the nation in 1965.”

SAN FRANCISCO—The State Supreme Court today refused to reconsider its far-reaching decision of Jan. 18 which ruled that an employer could fire a worker for Communist Party membership.
The court denied a petition for rehearing sought by Mrs. Doris Walker, 35, former persident of the Bio-Lab Workers Union, who was fired in 1949 by Cutter Laboratories as an alleged Communist..
The court’s action last month overturned two lower court decisions and an arbitration board w'hich had ruled that Cutter had illegally fired Mrs. Walker. The arbitration board held that the laboratory actually used Mrs. Walker’s alleged Communist activities as an excuse but that the real reason for the firing was her union activities.
