DAmY-NEWS, 'iOKDAY MAY'S 1965 Subway Fare CuM-(So Up cdtyAjhiaul To 1 7-m ays 'tody By HARRY SCHLEGEL The subway fare may have to go up to 17 or 18 cents if no new source of subsidy is found. Transit Authority Chairman Joseph E. O'Grady warned yesterday. By EDWARD O'NEILL When the citywide GOP ticket is unveiled soon, the well-hidden secret of who controls the city Republican organization will be disclosed. In soap opera terms, are the reins held by Gov.

Rockefeller or by the five county chairmen? Tune in for the answer. If the whip-crackers are the chairmen, the nod will almost certainly go to Transit Authority Commissioner John J. Gilhooley. If Rocky is at the controls, the mayoral nomination will probably go to I. D.

Robbins, insurgent In a radio interview, uraay Rockers of All Ages speculated about a fare rise when asked whether a prospective in crease would be from the present 15 cents to 20 cents. -It might very well be that high, although it could possibly be 17 or 18 cents," said. "It could even be no increase. I say, once ClLl Chairman OGrady Democrat and former president of the Wagner-hating City Club. As the odds shape up, we hear, Gilhooley has a sizable lead over all others being mentioned.

But Robbins, well connected with the Rockefeller clan and in the midst of feverish negotiations with the family, is a Rocky favorite. Politicos who are high on Gilhooley the famous "Gil who?" of the 1961 campaign when he ran for controller figure he scored heavily for the local GOP with his blasts at Wagner on the crime-in-the-sub-ways issue. And, after all, he is a Republican. But those with the political know-how note that Rocky, who wields tight control of the state patronage strings, has the needed muscle to inject his favorite into the running. And that includes Democrat Robbins.

The Mayor, of course. Is taking more than a casual interest in the GOP maneuvering. His again, you ve John J. Gilhooley Hm'a thm favorite, right now got to get to the point of determining whether other revenues are made available to us. I would say 5 cents would be the extreme, the outside figure," O'Grady said.

The transit boss said the authority would be able to carry on at the 15-cent figure until the end of the year. "At that point, a decision is going to have to be made as to what, if any, help we're going to get." Asked about closing some subway entrances in the anti-crime drive, O'Gradv said the move is "tentative." He said the TA is giving "individual study to each and every one that will be closed, and it will be based upon a police judgment whether it is desirable from the standpoint of preventing crime to close them." City Hall aids have started a dossier on Robbins, including a rundown of all his speeches. LAUGH OF THE WEEK: A barrister buddy passes on this tale of an incident he witnessed the other night.

has been told by the faculty of Cabrini College in suburban Radnor. The complaint was made in a letter to Robert H. O'Brien, president of MGM, from Mother Ursula, president of the small liberal arts college named for Mother Cabrini. Mother Ursula, a nun for 50 years, who, as a high school student, knew Mother Cabrini, said Miss Loren "may be a very good actress, but she's not the type, doesn't have the physique.

How would you like a nice, home-cooked schwein-ebraten, with vegetables, and a cold bottle of beer to go with it?" But Marion demands something in return: "I've been hurt before. You have to promise.
