Potomac Edison seeks higher bus rates in Hagerstown
Potomac Edison Co. will ask the Public Service Commission to raise city bus fares in Hagerstown. Vice president A F MacDonald said a 10 cent flat fare would replace six rides for 50 cents, the ten-day commuter pass to Clear Spring would be 2.50 instead of 2.00, and student tokens would rise to 65 cents from 50. The company cites a deficit in the Hagerstown area and higher operating costs.

May Reinstated A J May Restored To Bar Standing
MAY REINSTATED FRANKFORT Kentucky Former Congressman A J May convicted of wartime fraud was restored to his standing as a lawyer today. The Court of Appeals overrode a recommendation against reinstatement by the State Board of Bar Commissioners. The court said the commissioners had accepted affidavits that May has been a man of excellent moral character since his release from prison. The order noted it is not in keeping with Christian principles to deny May another chance. May, now 77, was convicted of taking 53000 in bribes from munition makers Henry and Murray Garsson for his influence as chairman of the House Military Affairs Committee in awarding contracts. The Garsson brothers and May received two year sentences.
