Phone Rate Increase
Appears Certain as
PUG Hearing Ends
By Jerry O'Leory. Jr.

Increased telephone rates for
Washington averaging So cents a
month appeared a certainty today,
following completion of Public Util-
tiles Commission hearings on the
Chesapeake g. Potomac Telephone
Co.'S request for higher rates.
The case for higher rates appar-
emily was cinched when v. A. Nc
Elfresh, PUG auditor, declared the
increases sought by the telephone
company would raise the company'S
rate of return from the current 2.65
per cent to only "A per cent.
Among Washington's other public
utilities, it was pointed out, the
Potomac Electric Power Co. is al
lowed SIS per cent rate of return
and the Washington Gas Light Co.
is permitted 6 per cent.
II the controversial IL per cent
license charge for contract services
between c. & P. and the parent
American Telephone & Telegraph
Co. were thrown out, Mr.. McElfresh
testified, the present 265 per cent
rate OF return would move up only
to 3.42 per cent. Either rate would
be far below those allowed other
utilities.
United States Approval Seen.
Weight was added to the conjec-
ture that the increases would be
granted when attending Govern
ment counsel-Charles M. Dineen
and Byron Harding, representing
the Treasury Departments Bureau
OF Federal Supply-declined to
cross-examine either Mr.. McElfresh
or Robert M. Niche, vice president
OF c. & P. company officials took
this silence as tacit approval OF the
proposed increase.
The Government, as the largest
single customer c. & P. has in
Washington, is vitally interested in
the outcome Of the hearing.
James H. Flanagan, PUG chair
man, recessed the hearing. The
PUG will take the case under con-
sideration before the end of the
week if Peoples Counsel John ODea
decides not to cross-eXamine an
earlier company witness, Harry c.
Gretz, assistant controller of A. T.
& T. If Mr.. ODea desires to cross
examine, the hearing will be re-
Sumed briefly tomorrow.
John M. Howard, C. & P. general
commercial manager, said the tele-
phone company bases it's plea for
rate relief on increased operating
costs, principally in wages. Most of
the testimony since the hearing re-
sumed Tuesday has centered around
the complicated financial relation
ship between A. T. & T. and its
subsidiary, c. & P.
Tells of Examining Books.
Mr.. McElfresh yesterday testified
he had four accountants review the
company's books and that 40 per
cent of their time was taken up
with the separation procedure-the
system whereby each OF A. T. & T.'s
% subsidiary companies gets back
a certain portion of income derived
through long distance calls. He
challenged the fact that the pro-
cedure was not installed until 1899,
but conceded that the issue has
no important bearing on the prob
lem of arriving at an equitable rate
Of return.
He asserted, however, that A. T.
d T. divided all. its costs among
the subsidiaries, and added that
c. & p. should not be held respon-
Evening star., 1947-12-11

sible for the expense OF operating
holding companies.
A. T. g. T. itself should absorb
holding company expenses, and
executive department costs-such as
vice presidents salaries-should be
apportioned between holding COM
pany and service functions, he said
Thus C. & P. would not have to
return as much of its income to
the parent organization as it now
does, Mr.. McElfresh explained.
Not Cross examined.
Attorney w. G. Gassaway, repre-
senting the company, said he did
not wish to cross examine Mr.. Nc
Elfresh because, he said, the COM
panv wished to present a completely
noncontroversial case.
Mr.. Gassaway said he does not
think the license contract between
A. T. & T. and c. g. P. has any
effect on the result of the hearing,
because C. & P.'s 1la per cent pay

would be If the local company had
to perform the same services itself.
