holding hearings as to the adequacy
safety and economy of such service.
When a utility is sick and showing
no return and there is complaint
! about service said Dirksen, 1T is the
function of an administrative agency
or legislative body to inquire into its
affairs"
Dlrksen expressed hope the inves-
tigation would develop suggestions for
improving the condition of the "sick"
utility.
j. E. Heberle, vice president and
controller of the company, the first
witness was piled with questions by
both Dirksen and Representative RAN
dolph, Democrat, of West Virginia,
the subcommittee chairman, about the
condition of the rolling stock, buses
as well as cars.
Few Buses Over 10 Years Old.
Heberle testified the company is
still operating all but from 20 to 30
OF the buSses acquired in the merger
but pointed out only a few of them
are more than 10 years old, the life
OF bus as fixed by the Public Utilities
Commission. He also declared the
standard of busses in operation in
Washington is higher than in any
city in the country with the posi-
BILE exception of Detroit.
Later. Heberle testified the COM
pany had scrapped 46 of the 29O cars
it acquired in the merger from the
former Capital Traction Co. and so
OF the 800 acquired from the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Co. Since
the consolidation, however, the COM
pany. he said, had purchased 20 Of
the new type streamlined cars and
so cars from Providence, r. l., which
were reconditioned in its own shops.
These cars we're IL years old at the
time OF purchase, and were used to
retire an equal number OF older cars
Employees Increase.
Further questioning of Heberle
brought out that the company had
2,587 employees at the time OF the
merger, of whom 1927 were trainmen
and bus operators The employees
now total 3,786, of whom 2,20y are
trainmen and operators.
The average hours of work for
trainmen, Heberle said, is so a week,
whereas the bus operators average 81.
The average pay for regular trainmen
Is 1885 week, and for regular bus
operators $39.87 a week.
Calling attention to his bill to
abolish one-man car operations, Dirk
sen asked what authority the Public
Utilities Commission has to permit
operations of one-man cars.
Prettyman explained that Congress
had delegated broad power to the COM
mission to regulate utilities and had
the authority to permit the operation
OF one-man cars. He pointed out, how
ever, there is a definite legal CUES
ton whether the commission could
prohibit the use Of this type of car,

cret Maneuvers.
PARIS, June "a lP).-A French war
ship feet, led by two heavy cruisers,
anchored today at Bone, Algeria, due
south Of Italy's Mediterranean Island
Of Sardinia, after secret night ma
neuvers.
French officials declared earlier to-
day that France and Great Brit
ain would be compelled to defend
their interests in the Mediterranean if
Italy and Germany made forceful use
Of their warships in Spanish waters.
Any Italo-German attempt to patrol
! the Spanish Coast without the author
ization OF the International Non-In-
tervention Committee, from which
both withdrew their fleets yesterday
would be regarded as a blockade and
therefore, an act of war against Spain,
they said.
In such situation, officials warned,
France and London could not remain
indifferent"
The British Ambassador to Berlin,
neville henderson, was expected to
outline such stand to Konstantin
Won Neurath, the German foreign min
lister. and propose that an Anglo
French fleet establish a neutrality
patrol of the whole Spanish coast.
Only France and Britain, spokesmen
pointed out, retain the right to halt
and search ships because the Italian
and German fleets no longer serve in
the neutrality patrol. But, because
Rome and Berlin still are members OF
the Neutrality Committee, France and
Great Britain would not extend their
patrol without 1talo- German approval.

Even the most optimistic of the

of Friday nights races at the Ell

race officials anticipated one of

RumorS, which were spreading

that all valley drivers were keep
ing their opinions to themselves
because of Doc Caradine's war dec

Caradine is determined that his

Caradine, it seems, has been sad

and as a result is determined that
his car shall finish far ahead Fri

More than one main event and
