Reason for the recommendation is that tie plant, at the moment, is not need ed in the war program. Final action will be taken by defense plant corporation.

Nine Victims of Train Fumes
Reported Out of Danger
Passengers Given
Oxygen Treatment
At Union Stution

Nine persons, including a Pullman
porter, who required oxygen treat
ment early yesterday at Union Sta
ton after carbon monoxide seeping
into a sleeping car almost snuffed
out their lives, were reported out
of danger by hospital officials and
were discharged later today.
Others on the car not as seriously
affected were given f1rst-aid at the
station. It is believed all continued
their trip after the car was cut out
of the train and another substituted
for it. The train was delayed about
four hours.
Fumes spreading through the car
in south-bound Seaboard Airline
train awakened the porter, Pernett
Morgan, colored, 80, Of New York
City, about l am. while the train
was in the station. He noticed a
thin veil of smoke in the mems
smoking room, where he was
berthed for the night, and at first
thought the car was afire.
Noticing the smoke issued from q
ventilator, the porter said he grabbed
a fire extinguisher and ran out into
the vestibule where the air-condi-
tioning unit Is located. He dis
covered no fire and reasoned that
fumes were being pumped into the
car from break in the ventilator.
He said the smoke had a rubbery
and acrid odor.
BY that time the car, near the end
OF a lengthy train, was approaching
the tunnel that carries Southern
trains under the depot out into the

Meningitis Quarantine
Is Lifted for 300
Al Louisiana Hall

With no new outbreaks of men
ingitis reported early today inl
Washington and vicinity, more than
300 government girl workers were
released from quarantine at Louisi-
ana Hall, Arlington Farms dormi-
tory, and returned to their Jobs,
mostly in the War Department.
The District meningitis record to-
day stood at four deaths and 80
cases so far this year, according to
DR.. James G. Cumming, head of
the Bureau of Communicable Dis
eases OF the Health Department.
At the District Training School,
Laurel, Md, officials said there had
been no further cases since one
patient was sent to Gallinger Hos
pital Saturday All patients at the
school, however, especially those in
the cottage where the victim, Will
liam Andrews, resided are being
kept under close observation.
The 1874 girls released from the
quarantine which had been clamped
down Thursday midnight returned
to work today we'll medicated with
sulfa drugs, which had been ad-
ministered ever since two cases of
meningitis were discovered in LOU
isiana Hall. One of the cases re-
suited in death, while the other,
Miss Marion Hearth, still is in Gal
linger Hospital.
The girls who received their re-
lease today are believed by health
authorities to be protected by the
drug, not only against meningitis,
but also from injecting others.
DR.. Cumming said he expected no
alarming spread of the disease.
Despite the public attention brought
to the matter by quarantine of the
girls at Louisiana Hall, and the
four deaths SO far this year, the
malady is no worse than last year.
he said.
Use of sulfa drugs has become
highly effective. DR.. Cumming
pointed out. The public doesn't
need to be apprehensive over the
present situation" he said, nor be
alarmed that there will be any sud-
den increase"
The death rate from persons who
contract meningitis has been low
cred substantially, he said. The
mortality, which formerly was
about 40 per cent, now was only
about IL or Is per cent, he said

PUG Allows BonbriqhI
To Discuss Initiation
Angle in Pepco Case
Compony's Counsel Wins
Point at Hearing on
Reduction in Rutes

Chairman James H. Flanagan Of
the Public Utilities Commission to-
day allowed DR.. James c. Bonbright,
chairman of the New York Power
Authority and professor of finance
at Columbia University, to discuss
the possible inf1ationary effect and
overuse of electricity from a reduc-
ton Of rates of the Potomac Electric
Power Co.
Harry R. Booth, special counsel
for the Procurement Division of the
Treasury Department, who placed
DR.. Bonbright on the stand as a
witness in this years power rate
hearings, objected to questions by
William K. Laws, company attor-
ney, on imitation. Mr.. Lava has
raised the point that the redacttoH
of rates would add to the Fpurchas-
ing power of the consumers and 1t
would be inflationary.
:%s Subject Ruled Important.
Chairman Flanagan, however
ruled that the subject was both i'm
portant and interesting. He re-
marked that the commission had
In the past heard so many "far-
fetched" views on imitation that he
was interested to hear DR.. Bon
bright's discussion.
1t was recalled that in previous
bearings before the PUG, Mr.. Booth
and representatives OF other gov
ernment agencies had contended
that reduction of utility rates would
further the Governments anti
inf1ationary program.
Dr. Bonbright sought to discount
the danger of overuse of electricity
that might result from lower rates.
He said the danger would lie in the
schedule of rates adopted for par
ticular classes of consumers rather
than in a reduction of the rate of
return allowed Pepco. He pointed
out, for instance, that if rates were
reduced for the United States Gov
ernment, the danger of wasted use
of electricity would be zero, or least
minimized."
Witness Admits Point.
The witness admitted, however
that if residential consumers were
given especially low rates for using
large amounts of electricity-a de-
sirable procedure in peacetime-re.
duction OF rates would increase the
use of electricity at time wher
the Federal Government is urgine
economy in power use.
While DR.. Bonbright agreed tina,
reduction in rates would add te
some extent TO the purchasing pow
er of consumers, he pointed out that
the Government has attempted te
offset such additional income
through higher taxation, rationing
and the sale of War Bonds.

campaign are expected by the end of
this week to reach the $1,000 900
oversubscription mark set by Lloyd
B. Wilson, chairman of the drive,
campaign officials said today.
The prediction was made in view
Of the fact there are more than
100000 potential donors in WASH
ington and nearby communities who
have not yet been reached by the
campaign workers, while the Dis
trict shortage is only $365 900, IA per
cent Of the goal.
Several additional divisions are
expected to report better than
100 per cent collections at the rally
meeting for all divisions at 1890
pm. tomorrow in the United States
Chamber of Commerce.
National Drive Extended.
In the national drive, which has
also been extended, Leon Fraser, ma
tlonal campaign chairman, an
nounced that contributions to date
total $l68,000,0oO, or "a per cent of
the $200,000,000 goal. Only 40 per
cent OF the Red Cross 3,755 chap
ters have reached or exceeded their
quotas.
Over the week end the District
shortage was cut by some $4,000, the
proceeds of the Red Cross benefit

urday night at Constitution Hall.
Alexandria became the second di-
vision to go over the top this week
end, when Western Union workers
reported an additional $4,000 to
bring the aggregate collection to
$55,9 or 121 per cent of the Sac, $3.50
quota. This is the first time in Red
Cross history that Alexandria has
exceeded its goal.
Officials Confident.
The general business division was
the first to exceed its quota, report
ing 100.07 per cent of the $652, ,439
goal last Friday.
Campaign officials were confident
that the $42,048 deficit in the five
Maryland and Virginia counties
quota of $261, $50 would be wiped
out before the week Is over. In
dividual county shortages to date
are: Arlington, 81 ,488; Fairfax, $15,-
56l; Montgomery, $6,935, and Prince
Georges, $15,064.
Residential division must raise S18,-
975 this week to meet its quota
and city division must collect S22, ,1l9.
Government division has the largest
shortage, $182,166, which is more
than half of the Districts deficit.
