Colds and Grippe Cases
50% Above Last Year

The current wave of respiratory
ailments caused an increased num-
Der of persons to be absent from
work in Government and private es-
tablishments during the last week,
according to reports received by DR..
James G.. Cumming, chief of the
Bureau of Preventable Diseases Of
the Health Department.
He estimated that absences in
creased by about so per cent, from
colds and grippe alone. He said
1t was reported that when employees
with fever were sent home with
instructions to 60 to bed to recover
from such ailments they usually re-
turned to duty in three or four days.
while we anticipated an in
crease in pneumonia deaths, Incl.
dent to the increase in upper respi-

out that the number of pneumonia
deaths during the last six weeks

A Statement
By Mr.. Bondy

Last December The Star re-
quested me to read an article
on Blue Plains written by two
of its reporters assigned to in
vestigate the institution.
I pointed out what appeared
to me to be several exaggera-
tions and in a discussion with
The Star it was decided that
while publication of the article
would arouse interest and pos
sibly indignation. the hope for
a real remedy would lie in
portrayal of what might be
done, rather than blanket con-
demnation of conditions as they
are.
The Star withheld publication
of the article until the present
administration had opportunity
to assure the best possible serv-
ice with the money available
and then to determine needs
to be met in future appropria-
tions, which was in the course
Of preparation when Mrs.
Roosevelt visited the institu-
ton and made her comment on
conditions which are not ideal
and are in need of remedy. -

Power Rate Cut
May Be Shared With
Private Consumers
Commercial Users
Are Expected to Get
Lions Portion

Belief that the Public Utilities
Commission would allocate portion
of this years reduction in rates Of
the Potomac Electric Power Co. to
residential consumers, while giving
perhaps larger share to CONNER
cial customers, was voiced yesterday
at the District Building.
The adjourned hearing on the
annual adjustment of rates of the
power company, under operation Of
its sliding scale plan, is to be re-
sumed at 10 am. tomorrow. At that
time, power company spokesmen are
expected, to submit a. plan for allo-
cation of $575,02o, the sum deter
mined by the commission as avail
able for rate reductions.
Last year the Commission found
it possible to order a rate cut to-
falling $394,085, of which $141 500
went to domestic consumers and
some $252 500 to commercial GUS
toners. . 4-
In one quarter it was suggested
the Commission would consider an
ALLEGATION of this years "melon
cutting" along somewhat similar
lines, although there was no Of
fetal decision or statement on the
point.
Rufus S. Lusk, representing the
Building Owners and Managers
Association, has urged the Com
mission to give the entire amount
of the cut to commercial users, con-
tending that residential users in
some brackets now can obtain cur
rent at a price below cost to the
power company. On the other
hand, Sidney r. Katz. representing
the Maryland and District Indus
trial Union Council, contended that
a liberal amount should go to do
mestic consumers.
