Informed of his wifes death yes
terday while he was trying case
in Prince Georges County Circuit
Court at Upper Marlboro, Attorney
Vance v. Vaughan continued the
trial after short recess and won a
verdict in favor of his clients.
Mr.. Vaughan. who was associated
in the case with Attorney John S.
White, Speaker of the Maryland
House of Delegates, was informed
during the trial that his wife, Mrs.
Mary c. Vaughan, had dropped dead
of heart attack at Bladensburg
while riding on Capital Transit
Co. bus.
Mrs. Vaughan, who lived at 1903
Fifty-eighth street, Woodley Hills,
Md, was taken to the Prince
Georges General Hospital by the
Bladensburg Rescue Squad, where
she was pronounced dead on arrival.
She was 49 years old.
A native of Gettysburg, Pa, Mrs
Vaughan came to Prince Georges
County in 1924. She operated a po.

"We got a few holes in the ship"
says Sergt. Norton, but nothing to
worry about"
But just after turning home
ward there were a few minutes
when the fighter escort was con-
|siderably diminished and about so
enemy fighters attacke i, peeling off
in groups of IL 20 attack individual
Forts. 1t was then that Sergt.
Norton saw rocket shells for the
first time and they looked to him
"like big, black puffs of smoke" He
himself fired $50 rounds in few
anxious minutes until American
fighters were able to drive off the
attackers.
Oxygen Mask Comes OFF.
On another RAID, to Bremen, the
tail gunner's oxygen mask came
off and he was found unconscious
beside his gun. He apparently had
been delirious for a few seconds
before blacking out because he had
taken off his shoes and his feet
already were badly frostbitten.
One of the waist gunners went
back when the tail gunner did not
answer the telephone. He found
the mask disconnected with the
oxygen supply and couldn't fix it.
He placed his own oxygen mask on
the unconscious man and started
artificial respiration. But he nearly
lost consciousness and the other
waist gunner had to rescue him with
his oxygen mask. When one was
revived the other was on the point
of passing out. So they took turns
reviving each other while they tried
to keep up the tail gunner's breath
ing until it was possible to descend
to a level where oxygen was not
needed.

from 1924 until 1910, and at one time

She met Mr.. Vaughan in 1928
when the attorney, then a District

manned crouched in their positions,
hardly daring to move because any
exertion would require a greater
drain on the oxygen.
But lack of oxygen was only one
of the troubles. After leaving the
target the ship dropped down to a
level where the crew could live
without bottled air. Then 1t. Po-
land saw formal ton of German
fighter planes. He Immediately
dove into the clouds, circled around
to throw off any enemy craft that
might be following and found he
was hopelessly lost All the COM
passes on the ship were frozen. All
around were only swirling clouds.
Remembers Toy Compass.
Suddenly the navigator remem-
bered. A few days before he had
bought tiny compass in a novelty
shop for few pennies. 1t could not
be expected to be accurate, but it
probably would indicate general di-
rections. Actually it gave them a
westerly bearing that ultimately
brought the ship to England All
the time the crew remained hud-
died in their positions in the bitter
cold.
His toughest trip, Sergt. Norton
said, was the first heavy raid over
Brunswick. Lady Lylian was lead
ing the Purple Heart Squadron"
made up of the planes flying in the
lowest position. They are especial
ly vulnerable to enemy fax. The
plane ran into fighter opposition al
most as soon as it crossed the
French coast, but this was taken
care of by the American fighter
cover.

Pepco Slated 10 0per
Rate Case Before
PUG Tomorrow
Illinois Expert Testifies
For FWA; Discusses
Prudent Investment

The Potomac Electric Power Co.
tomorrow will begin presentation
of its case in the annual power
rate hearings before the Public
Utilities Commission, which are
now in their seventh week.
Fred Kleinman, chief accountant
of the Illinois Commerce Com
mission, who was placed on the
stand by the Procurement Division
of the Treasury last week, became
a witness for several hours yester-
day for the Federal Works Agency
Both Government groups are in
tervenors in the case.
Mr.. Kleinman said that under
the prudent investment" theory
Pepco rates might have been re-
duced by s5,250,OOO on the basis OF
1943 earnings. He suggested that
an earning of $40 on common stock
would be more proper than the
higher average under the sliding
scale.
Mr.. Kleinman became a witness
for FWA after Chairman James H
Flanagan remarked that questions
of Alan Johnstone, general counsel
OF FWA, were not proper for cross
examination, since they involved
matters not dealt with in previous
direct examination.
The witness in the morning ses-
sion testified that under his pro-
posals for modifying the sliding
scale arrangement the gross reven-
ues of Pepco could be cut SO ,342 900
on the basis of 1943 earnings, and
that net revenues could be sliced
$1,550,000. He told S. R. Bowen
Pepco attorney, that this reduction
would leave S2,370,961 for common
stock holders and surplus.
Mr.. Kleinman said that on the
basis of S per cent rate of return
which he urged in place of the
present 6 per cent, the company
would have been entitled to earn
$4,124,000 in 1943. V. A. McEl-
fresh, chief accountant of the PUG
has previously estimated the COM
pany earned return of $7,115,-
600 last year.
Mr.. Kleinman reached his figure
OF 100000 for common stock and
surplus by calculating ST 100000 for
interest on bonds, 1896, 900 for pre-
ferred. stock and $58,038 for interest
on customers deposits.
Under questioning of Mr.. John
son, who represents the only agency
seeking abolition of the sliding scale
in the case, Mr.. Kleinman said he
believed returns on common stock
of Pepco had been liberal" and
might we'll be regard as excessive. >

Aides Can Relieve
Nurse Shortage

Most of them have homes to care
for, many of them have children,
but they manage to budget their
time to serve a few hours several
days a week.
Actually, after a nurses aide fin
iSheS her six weeks training, she
only has to work $50 hours a year,
though most of them work a good
deal more.
Several hospitals have told the
Red Cross they would have had to
shut down wards if it hadn't been
for the nurses aides Now several
of them are faced with that possi-
bility if their staffs aren't further
augmented.
That's why the Red Cross is max
ing a special appeal for women to
volunteer for it's next training
course, starting April "a. So far only
II have signed up and 1S more are
needed.
