Cited in Rate Appeal

BALTIMORE, April 23.-Seeking
permanent rate increases, the Ches-
apeake e. Potomac Telephone Co.
presented testimony before the Pub
lie Service Commission yesterday
outlining plans for $4,000, 900 worth
Of new facilities to be built this year
and next.
A. L. Lanagin, assistant vice presi-
dent of the company, reported about
$26,000,0oo would be spent in 1947.
He said the three-week strike of
telephone company workers had only
slowed the construction program.
Most of the Improvements de-
tailed were for new exchanges and
installation of dial equipment in
Baltimore. n 8
Projects are under way or con-
templated tn Annapolis. Cumber-
land, Salisbury and Glen Burnie,
Mr.. Lanagin said, and within the
next three months installation of ad-
ditional equipment is to be COM
pleted at 10 county offices.
The company is seeking rate in
creases that would bring it about
$4,000, 900 annually. The new sched-
ules would add to a temporary in
crease authorized by the PSC in
February.

Would the same principles apply in
the training of that 18-year-old boy

should be adopted?

Soviet Chief in Berlin
|Denounces keating for
Roundup Disclosure
By The As.oeiossd Pres.

BERLIN, April 23.-The Russian
commander In Berlin, Mai. Gen.
Alexander Kotikov, has charged the
American deputy military governor,
Maj Gen. Frank a.. Heating, with
seriously damaging the success of
the recent Berlin wide roundup Of
criminal elements by making a "pre-
mature announcement" of the raid.
The news conference which Gen.
Heating held at the raids zero
hour on April ''is regarded as q
premature act by all people who
really are interested In q decisive
fight against the Berlin criminals
and one which seriously damaged
the raid" Gen. Kotikov said in his
protest, published today In the offi-
cial Red Army newspapers. Taeg-
liche Rundschau.
Secrecy Declared Broken.
The protest also accused Gen.
Heating of having incorrectly pre-
sented the reasons for the raids"
thereby incorrectly informing the
public"
THE secrecy which was agreed
upon by the Allies in the question
Of the raid was unilaterally broken
BY Gen. Keating's interview" Gen.
Kotikov said. CAS- result the GRIM
inal elements at the very start OF
the action practically received the
warning: Save yourselves"
A senior British official declared
last night in Berlin that the quadri-
partite roundup was an absolute
flop" in the British sector of the city.
1--WE didn't pick up any one we
wouldn't have detained otherwise In
the normal policing of the sector"
he said. He added that crime in
the British zone in Berlin was no
greater than might be expected in a
normal English city. except that
armed robberies were more frequent.
"Rowdyism" Protested.
Gen. Kotikoy also has. protested
10 the Allied Kommandatura over
the 'rowdyism of English police
whom he accused of mishandling two
Army sergeants whose truck
stalled in the British sector on
April 20.
Also published in Taegliche Rund-
schau, this protest said the Russians .
without the slightest cause" were !
kicked in the face and the body, !
causing serious injuries"
Gen. Kotikov concluded with q
demand for an investigation and
,ourt-martial by the British and !.
reserved the right to make claims :
for the loss of the work of the So
Wet soldiers"

Prices Falling il ]. s
On Steel Scrap, Food
Hogs and Other Items

Falling prices on q. diversity of
items were reflected in scattered re-
ports over the country today, and
a spokesman for big mail order
house declared that prices will show
q marked decrease within the next
so days"
This prediction came from o. j.
Bingeman, counsel for Montgomery
Ward g. Co., who appealed to the
Detroit City Council for lower as
sessments for the concerns two
Detroit stores, with the explanation
that reports of merchandisers
throughout the United States"
pointed to the drop.
Pittsburgh. Cleveland. Detroit and
Chicago reported an average of IS
a ton reduction in steel scrap, one
of the most important industrial
materials. Prices averaged around
$32 so "a ton yesterday and dealers
forecast a further reduction to sgt
or $28 in May.
Steel mills withdrew from the
market few weeks ago when prices
scared to new high levels. Dealers
said "a flood of scrap" attracted by
high prices had broken the market.
Butter Drops in New York.
A spot check last night by the As
ISOLATED Press showed these results:
Safeway Stores, A. &. P. Stores
and the Grand Union Co., an
nounced retail butter at New York
will come down four cents pound
to SO cents. This followed a. 2-cent
drop in wholesale butter in New
York to SO cents, lowest since last

TO President Truman's price drive"
Cheese prices in New York were
down 81 to 6 cents pound follow
ing similar drops in Wisconsin.
Green coffee was " cent pound
lower in New York, and cocoa was
down cent pound.
Appliance Prices Rise.
Two electrical appliance manu-
facturers reported that higher ma
terial and labor costs were' forcing
prices higher.
The Apex Electrical Manufacture
ing Co. of Cleveland said higher
costs necessitated an upward adj
justfnent of selling prices.
Hotpoint, Inc, Chicago subsidi-
airy OF General Electric Co., said
slight increases on major electrical
appliances probably would be- made
within few days.
In another development Earl
Bunting, president of the National
Association of Manufacturers,
broadcast what he called 'fndustrys
answer to President Humans State
ment on prices" and assigned a
major share of responsibility for
cost trends to the Government.
Speaking over the Mutual net
work from here, Mr.. Bunting fully
adopted for the NAM the Presi-
dents summation in his speech
Monday to the annual luncheon of
members of the Associated Press
in New York:
There must be moderation on
the part of business, forbearance on
the part of labor, about effort on
the part of the farmer, and wise
guidance and action on the part of
the Government -

zoning Barrier Lifted
On 18Th Street for
Bank, Office Buildings

Zoning barriers protecting lower
Sixteenth street and midtown Mas
sachusetts avenue were partly down
today to permit erection Of Office
building and banks.
The District Zoning Commission
yesterday approved a zoning law
amendment to permit such struc-
lures on Sixteenth street between
Lafayette Square and M street NV,
and on Massachusetts, avenue be-
tween Mount Vernon Square and
Thomas Circle.

Of individual cases to the Board of
Zoning Adjustments, specifies, how
ever, that office and bank buildings
must not:

dows or project beyond the building

ture.
4. Make any use Of the buildings

able traffic conditions"
The commissions ruling repre-
scented q compromise. The commits
sion itself suggested it after turning
down an earlier proposal to rezone
lower Sixteenth street from residen-
tial to first commercial.
Compromise Also Opposed.
This rezoning proposal was de-
feated after the commission heard
testimony it would result in the ap-
pearance of liquor stores, barber
poles, blinking neon signs and such
commercial embellishments.
The compromise move also was
opposed. Harland Bartholomew, city
planning consultant to the National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion, told the commission it repre-
scented a foot In the door" to full
commercial development of an his
toric approach to the White House.
Among numerous groups and in
dividuals favoring the change was
Wlbert McInerney, attorney for the
Motion Picture Association of Amer

building at Sixteenth and I streets
NV, formerly owned by the trus-
tees Of the Library of Congress, for

DEMOCRACY WORKS AT VA:
Local Veterans Agency
Employs 10 as Clerks,
Typists and Messengers

doing ordinary tasks and doing
them well. These people are mes
sengers, file clerks and typistS. In
some offices they would meet with
hostility and haughtiness. In fact,
in many Offices their talents would
not be welcome, and they would be
turned away from employment.
And yet, these are also ordinary
people who think, act, and talk the
same as you and !, people who
work quietly, diligently. and with
a determination TO do well. Only
one thing distinguishes these peo-
pie from the majority-their color.
These are the Negro employees Of
the Regional Office.
"lt is to the credit Of these 10
employees that they have main
tanned high standards in represent
ing their race. II is more to the
credit Of each Of you who work
with them that racial harmony is
a fact and not a problem here. To-
gether you have proved that dis
elimination against color il such a
minor thing that il does not merit
recognition. You have recognized
the worthy qualities of an indi-
vidual as a basis for cooperation
and compatibility.
This is nothing more than
ordinary people making democracy
work. Let's continue to keep It
alive"
