Pepco Attorneys
Hearings Re-exomine
J Points Previously
Made by N. Y. Expert

Present rate hearings of the Po-
tomac Electric Power Co. yester-
day were described as one of the
most important proceedings before
the Public Utilities Commission
since the adoption of the sliding
scale in 1924.
Chairman James H. FLANAGAN
made that reference in overruline
an objection of Harry r. Booth
special counsel for the Treasury s
Procurement Division, to a ques-
ton asked of DR.. James C. Bon
bright, chairman of the New York
Power Authority, by William K
Laws, attorney for Pepco.
This proceeding is one of the
most important the commission has
had before 1t since adoption of
the sliding scale" Mr.. Flanagan
said. "The witness previously made
seven points which I consider very
important. Now, I want every point
explored from every conceivable
angle"
Mr.. Flanagan's reference to seven
points involved the various modifi-
cations in the sliding-scale arrange
ment proposed by DR.. Bonbright
IN his testimony on March Is, as a
witness for the Procurement Di-
vision.
In his cross-examination of DR..
Bonbright, Mr.. Laws questioned the
witness on the infiationary aspects
of rate reduction, pointing out that
a reduction would give the con-
sumers more mohey to spend on
other things. While DR.. Bonbright
conceded that a reduction would
add In small way to money in
circulation. he said it was only lone
shear of the scissors
DR.. Bonbright will resume the
stand at 10 am. tomorrow for fur
ther cross-examination by Pepco
attorneys. Mr.. Booth has indicated
he has several more questions to
ask DR.. Bonbright on redirect
examination and Lloyd B. Harrison,
assistant corporation counsel, NAV
also question him.
Other Witnesses Wait.
The Federal agencies intervening
in the case had been asked to place
other witnesses on the stand tomor-
row, but the cross-examination of
Dr.. Bonbright has taken longer than
was at first expected. Fred Klein
man, chief accountant Of the Illinois
Commerce Commission, also is
scheduled to testify for the Pro-
curement Division.
Under present plans, outlined in
formally by Chairman Flanagan
several days ago, Pepco will start
presenting its case week from
tomorrow. The proceedings will be
interrupted Tuesday morning, when
the PUG, sitting with the Board OF
Commissioners, will hear a demand
for use during rush hours OF ,ths

audience with little Joan yesterday.
The meeting occurred in the Of
flce OF Charles Ford, attorney, who
once brought best friend" suit
in District Court here on behalf of
Mr.. Langan's mother in the interests
OF the child. Miss Manners said the
reunion originally was scheduled to
be held in Mr.. Ford's home, but that
the attorney informed her later that
it would have to be held in his Office
and in his presence.
"oh, it was horrible" Miss Man.
ners said last night. "It was the
usual thing. Joan wouldn't speak to
me. I asked if they wouldn't let me
see her alone and they refused"
Miss Manners indicated she in
tends to make some changes in her
legal representation here for the
appeal she intends to take from
Justice T. Alan Goldsborough's de-
clslon which awarded custody to the
father. She said she was not pre-
pared to say who her new lawyers
would be.

During the litigation in the Dis
trlct and in Maryland, where she
was granted custody, she was rep
resented by Attorneys Walter Green
and jeff Lichtenberg.
Charles Walker attorney, who ac-
compained his client, Mr.. Langan,
and little Joan to the conference.
said Miss Manners spent most of
the time in Mr. Fords office "berat-
ing Mr., Langan and Justice Colds
borough
I tried from the beginning to
work something out" he said. "I
am happy to say that Mr.. Green
and Mr.. Lichtenberg co-operated
fundamentally We got together
and agreed to bring about a meet
ing in Mr.. Ford's Office. We thought
Mr.. Ford was the proper person to
take charge.
But the one thing I insisted on
was that Miss Manners was not to
see the girl alone. There had to be
somebody present. That was in line
with the judges order"
Lasts Only 3 Minutes.
/ The interview between little Joan
and her mother lasted about three
minutes. According to Mr.. Walker,
Mr.. Ford finally asked Miss Manners
to leave his Office because she be-
lcame abusive.
Mr.. Langan, it was reported is
about to move his family into the
IDlstrlct, after having negotiated for
the rental Of a home here. He is
barred from returning to the Chevy
IChase apartment he has occupied
because OF contempt citation out
standing against him in the Mont
gomery County Circuit Court,
Rockville, Md, arising out of his
taking Joan from the mother at
the Ambassador Hotel February 25.
MISS Manners said last night she
intends to return to California to
resume supervision of her school.
She said the institution has been in
the hands of friend from New
York during her absence, and that
this friend had to return East.
If / don't go back" Miss Man
ners said, I'm afraid I won't be
able to keep on with the appeal be-
cause l won't have enough money"

TO THE 1914 GRADUATE

TO THE 1914 GRADUATE !.
Schools are closing all over the
state and hundreds of boys and
girls are being turned out to face
life and to make living for them
selves. We realize that there are
many who will offer advice as to
how these young people will build
for themselves successful careers
and as to how they will gain for
themselves all of the things that
make life worth living. Because we,
too, are deeply interested in the
youth of our race and because we
are always DESTROYS of Tending a
helping hand" of giving few
words of helpful advice, we offer
the following
There are certain rules of life
that all people who succeed must
follow We have found that the most
important rule-the one that has
helped us most-is the simple rule
of discovering what you like best
to do and then finding some prac-
teal woy of doing it, 1t has been
said by an eminent physcologist
that liking your work is the seed
of success and anyone who has
planted this seed properly need on
ly to cultivate the growing life-tree
until it flowers and bears fruit.
When you decide to make your life
work something that you really like
to do, you have the incentive for
hard, persistent effort which does
not seem like work to you, because
there is so much pleasure and fun
in it.
So, young people, as you go out
to begin your Iife's work, why not
begin your own success? Teach
yourself to do what you like, which
is half the successful rule, and then
like what you do, which is the 9TH
er half.
Other words of advice in build
ing your own future would be
those given by David Seabury, the
great psychologist: Dare to be
yourself; don't permit compromise
Build only on your own plans. Re-
member that Imagination is magic
when you are its master. Visual
ize tomorrow, then act to make the
picture live. Make your destiny, OF
it will unmake you i. :"
