SMITH PROCEDURE
Is CALLED MENACE
Col. Callahan, Louisville Demo-
cratic Leader, Deplores Injec-
tion of Religious Issue.
Hx the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April 22.-CoL Pat
rick Henry Callahan, Democratic
leader Of Louisville, KY. in state
ment published today, charged that
the procedure of the campaign to
nominate Gov. Alfred E. Smith as
President constitutes "a direct dis
service to the Catholic Church and
is a menace to the future political
destinies Of our country"
Col Callahan, a prominent Catho-
lie layman, also blamed friends and
supporters of Gov Smith for inject
ing the religious issue into the 1924
Democratic national convention, for
which he said attempts were made
to hold William G. McAdoo respon-
sible.
George z. Brennan of Chicago, Col.
Callahan said. was the leader of an
Eastern wet bloc in the convention
which adopted the religious issue in
a last desperate effort to block the
nomination of McAdoo because they
feared his dryness.
Mr. Callahan recalled that for three
years he served as chairman of the
commission on religious prejudices
created in 1914 by the knights of
Columbus. This committee, he said.
unanimously adopted the following
resolution: 1T is just as reprehen-
sible for Catholics to vote for a
Catholic merely on account of his
religion as it is for any group of
non Catholics to vote against a
Catholic for the same reason"
Coming from a Catholic peace
meeting in Washington" said Col.
Callahan. II find the New York pa
pers seeking to fan the embers Of
b political issue which. If success
fully injected. will cause as much
internal strife as any of the causes
which, operating internationally, bring
about war"

HIGHER RATE SEEN
INC. .&P. VALUATION
BaChman's Figures Indicate
Request Possible if Court
Should Sustain Claim.

The Chesapeake & Potomac Tele-
phone Co. would be in a position to
ask for an increase OF approximately
20 per cent in its rates if the courts
should sustain its $50, 100000 valuation
claim, according to statistics compiled
today by B. Nick. Bachman, chief ac-
countant for the Public Utilities
Commission.
The $50, 900, 900 valuation claim was
made by the company at the initial
hearing before the commission Mon
day in the new rate case, which was
initiated by the commission with a
view to reducing the present rates,
The commissions own rate base IS
almost 100000 lower.
Based on its valuation, the commits
sion contends that the company earned
in 1926. $157 800 in excess of per
cent, which it considers a fair return.
A reduction in rates. therefore, it
contends. could be made without deny
ing the company a fair return.
The rate case will be resumed May
8, and at that time, the commission
plans to delve deeper into the items
used by the company in arriving at
its $50 100000 valuation. Depreciation
