New Pepco Statistics
Will Be Introduced
By PUG Wednesday

New evidence of Statistical ma
ture" will be presented by the Public
Utilities Commission in the annual
rate hearings of the Potomac Elec-
trlc Power at 10 am. Wednesday.
Lloyd Harrison, assistant corpora
ton counsel, announced yesterday.
The public hearings, which began
Fenruary 20, are now nearing a close.
Alan Johnstone, general counsel for
Federal Works Agency, which seeks
abandonment of the sliding-scale
arrangement for rate adjustments
asked for the right to make oral
arguments two weeks after Mr.. Har-
rison presents his additional eyi-
dence.
Yesterdays session was devoted tn
brief statement by Alfred G, Neal
president Of Pepco, who stressed the
TACT that his company was not

cross-examination by Mr.. Johnstone

Mr.. Johnstone repeatedly attacked
the company's motives for introduce
ing exhibits showing that the fair
value" of its property, after allow
ances for depreciation. was about
SILL 900, or s16,0O0,O0O higher
than the amount set by the com
mission.
MT. Neal insisted that the pur-
pose OF their valuations was to in
dlcate to the commission the an
proxlmate fair value" of the com
panys property, basis which would
have to be used if the sliding-scale
were abandoned. Mr.. Neal agreed

.S5,00O,0OO Postwar
Program for Capital
Suggested by Coffee

Investment of as much as $5,0O0,-
900 next fiscal year in fund for
National Capital postwar improve
ment programs, instead of the orig
inally proposed 100000, was sug-
gested today by Chairman Coffee of
the House District Appropriations
Subcommittee.
The plan is based primarily on
the fact the war priorities situation
since Pearl Harbor has prevented
needed outlays for capital improve
ments, creating what municipal Of
ficials call paper surplus" while
revenues have increased due to the
war-induced rise in District popu-
lation.
Situation Reviewed.
The financial situation was re-
viewed yesterday by Mr.. Coffee,
Representative Stefan, ranking mi
nority member, and others on the
subcommittee. During this session,
Representative Anderson, Democrat,
of New Mexico, complimented Dis
trict officials on the splendid finan-
cial showing" made in the past year.
officials here had planned to wipe
out District government indebted
ness during the next fiscal year
while earmarking millions for i'm
provements when the critical ma
terials situation will permit.
During consideration of the Po-
lice Department budget it was
brought out that about II per cent
of its cases were cleared" last
year, whereas the Justice Depart
ment regards a city's record as
good" if so per cent of cases are
closed Committee members were
said also to have praised the oper-
alton Of the Metropolitan Police
Academy.
Low Fire Losses Hailed.
The extremely low fire losses in
the District last year also came in
for praise. Among reasons for low
loss were the efficiency and loyal
ty" of members of the Fire De-
partment, the width of streets, low
height of buildings and the flreproof
nature of most" buildings.
Testifying for the Commission
of Mental Health, Thomas Gillespie
Walsh, chairman, voiced beliefs the
of insane persons in the Dis
trict was showing an alarming" in
crease and that it was to be ex-
pected that after the war ended
and present high tensions were de-
f1ated there would be still greater
increase in nervous disorders.
Favorable reception was given by
subcommittee members to pleas by
Judge George P. Barse of Municipal
Court; Judge William E. Richard
son of the Municipal Court of Ap-
peals; Victor S. Mersch, register of
wills, and Probate Officer Joseph Y
Reeves for minor increases for extra

Association OF Home
Builders 10 Sponsor
Farley Here May 8

The National Association of Home
Builders Emergency Committee is to
meet here May for four-day con-
ference, Joseph E. Merrion, Chicago
first vice president, reported today
The program primarily will be de-
voted to completing the war hous-
ing program" During the forepart
of the meeting officials of the Ma
tional Housing Agency, the Federal
Housing Administration and the
War Production Board have been in
vited to present their views on pres
ent and future Government housing.
Builders still are confronted with
equipment and material shortages
that seriously hamper their drive to
finish war housing projects" Mr..
Merrion said. 1--WE must have more
realistic priority assistance in the
matter of materials and equipment
particularly lumber, to finish the
war housing job on schedule"
To Aid All Income Groups.
Robert P. Gerholz, president, an
nounced the directors of the associ-
alton will also shape into final form
the industry's program for swinging
into immediate action when labor
and materials become available to
permit resumption of civilian con-
struction. The builders of the Ma
ton have pledged that adequate
housing will be provided for all in
come groups.
I'VE are going to sponsor COM
prehensive plan," stated Mr.. Ger
holz, for enabling private enter
prise to abolish slum areas with a
minimum of governmental assis-
tance. We intend to supplant the
present expensive socialized housing
scheme thrust upon the country
under the guise Of slum clearance,
the costly failure of which is now
generally recognized.
Blandford, Ferguson to Speak.
National Housing Administrator
Blandford and Federal Housing
Commissioner Abner H. Ferguson
will unfold their plan for providing
housing in areas where the shortage
of adequate accommodations is now
causing considerable hardship. This
condition exists in many cities
throughout the country and must
be taken care of from the first
quantities of materials available for
civilian use.
Home Builders intend to be
equipped to keep employment in the
construction industry at a high
level. We are gearing our program
to go into high-speed production as
quickly as manpower becomes avail
able. We are presently cooperating
with labor in their plea for a huge
private building program. Our prof.
ects will be gotten under way with
a minimum of delay to insure re-
turning soldiers that full employ
ment in the residential construction
industry are not idle words" he
