N CARL IN NEW
PAY RULINGS

A half-dozen decisions of Comp
troller General j. R. McCarl, pro-
mulgated today, dealt with tech
nical procedure in preparing pay
rolls for certain classes of en-
ployes. These generally repeated
or clarified previous decisions, or
pointed out paragraphs in the
economy act which covered the
specific cases.
One decision today pointed out
that, although the rate of pay
for fleet naval reserve officers
is high for the short time they
are on active duty. their aggre-
gate pay for drills cannot exceed
$1,000 a year. hence they are
not subject to the economy act

others in the same category are
not. also.
Employees on a half
day-Week basis who heretofore
have not been paid for Satur-
day afternoons lose one eleventh
of their weeks pay under the
five-day plan, said another de-
cision, in accord with several
previously made on this topic.
However, such employees who are
furloughed a month in a year
instead get only a one-twelfth
reduction,

Phone CONPANY
HITS INQUIRY

Arguments on a motion to
strike out all testimony and evil
dence relating to valuation of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Co., were heard today by
the Public Utilities Commission
as the hearing on phone rates
resumed.
Ralph A. Van Orsdel, counsel
for the company, argued that
until a value is ascertained in
accordance with the Public Utili-
ties Act, the commission cannot
give consideration to question of
rates.
He contended that the evidence
of value submitted by the COM
MISSIONS witnesses was insuffi-
cient and that the company had
not been notified that valuation
would be considered.
He asked the commission to
suspend or dismiss the present
inquiry until a valuation of the
company was completed.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
William A. Roberts opposed the
motion with the contention that
in any rate hearing some evil
dence of value of the utility must
be submitted.

this program was announced:
The District Commissioners are

of vacant dwellings and apart
ment suites in the District to as

vacant rather than cut rentals,
and to report any other facts
pertinent to the Senate investiga-
ton of rental conditions here. It
is suggested that policemen assist
in gathering the information.
There is to be also survey,
conducted by municipal authori-
ties, of alleged squalid conditions
in the inhabited alleys of the
Capital. Owners of alley proper
tie" are to be called before the
subcommittee.

that their rents are too high.

Statistics is called upon to supply
data on the differentials in rents
charged in Washington and other
cities of comparable size; the con-
struction costs of apartments and
dwellings in the Capital as COM
pared with other cities; living
costs here and elsewhere within
recent years; and a comparison
of reductions in the price of
commodities, such as food and
clothing, and house or apartment
rents.

snail's pace.
Thousands drove past the little
bonus camp at Four-anda-half st.

also had been fired and where
several veterans were injured in
a spectacular charge by cavalry.
Fumes of tear gas still hung in
the air. All nearby streets were

into service.

Yet the religion of Communism implies that the class
struggle will eventually be over it implies moreover that
in the between Communism and Capitalism, only
side is justified in firing off its On the side of
Communism it is right to sentence engineers to life i'm
prsonmen to death if they eopardize the system
the side of Capitalism it is brutal tyranny
The Communists have the advantage now of rejecting
Christian ethics with contempt while Capitalism for rea
sons of it's own, pays certain tribute to the Judeo
Protestant ehics especially in democracies We
talk of quality and justice and open our breasts for the
Communists spears. But they also have system of
ethics; they also have preenons When you point out
to them that certain actions have not been noble they
answer that Communism is the defensive in great
against Capitalism They allow that Capitalism
must also be in the warand that its aggression may be
only the best defense.
