matters as weapons, aircraft parts and

This has occasioned complex negotia-

SpiruIinq Costs and Fores

The fare increase Ordered Tor the CaplIdl
Transit Company by the Public Utilities
Commission represents an obviously earn
est effort to devise a schedule OF rates
which would be fair both to the company
and its customers. Actually the interests
of both sides are so closely interrelated
that the welfare of the company Is of as
much concern to its patrons as to its Of
ficials and its investors. For financially
unhealthy transportation system inevita-
bly, means poor service with the riding
public being the ultimate victim.
The new rates-thirteen cents cash fare,
three tokens for thiry-five cents and $l.75
for the weekly pass-will require streetcar'
and bus patrons to dig little deeper into
their budgets without assurance that they
will get more or better service for their
money. But the figures presented by the
company-and confirmed by careful PUG
analysis of CTC earnings and expenses in
a period of rising wage and material costs
made it clear that the only alternative
to higher fares was reduction of service
to the point of inadequacy. The commits
sions compromise between the present
fare and that sought by the company Is
designed to prevent any impairment OF
service and, at the same time, to maintain
the financial stability of the utility.
1t should be noted that in fixing the
fare at less than that asked by the COM
pany, the PUG has admitted that the
estimated return under the new schedule
will be less than the fair return previously
approved for the company The PUG still
holds that the approved 712 per cent is
not an unreasonable return for an invest
ment in this type of company, but it rec
ognizes the fact that no transit firm in
the country is making such a return. In
deed, most of them are barely making
profit and some are deeply in the red. So
a proposed 534 per cent return for CTC
investors actually should not hurt the
company's general credit standing. Some
utility experts believe the day has gone
when any municipal transportation system
can expect return in the per cent
range.
How long it will be before another fare
revision may become necessary depends
on what the future holds in the way of
infiationary trends Certainly there is no
hope for any decrease in rates as long as
labor and material costs remain at todays
high peak. Capital Transit wages, COM
puted on an hourly rate basis, have risen
approximately 108 per cent since 1899.
The cost of operating buses has increased
103 per cent since that year. Streetcar
operating costs have risen So per cent.
Yet, prior to the latest increase, fares had
risen only 16 per cent since 1899. This is
the second increase granted the company
in little more than year. The 1947
increase, however, has been nullifed by
wage boosts and soaring material costs.
And the unfortunate outlook is that If
the spiral continues, the new rates may
turn out to be no more permanent than
the ones placed in effect early last year.

Why Did 1t Take So Lonq?

It certainly took the Government q long
time to make up its mind to bring charges
under the loyalty program against William
W. Remington. Mr.. Remington himself
expressed surprise to Senate committee
that he was able to hang onto his various
civil service jobs despite the fact that the
Federal Bureau of Investigation was in
possession of information connecting him
with an alleged Communist spy ring.
While the recently created Regional Loy
atty Board lost little time In acting on this
much-publicized case the fact remains
that Mr.. Remington held successive posi-
tions of trust in the Office of War Mobili-
zation, on the Presidents Council OF Eco
nomic Advisers and in the export license
division of the Department of Commerce
while his loyalty was under serious ques
ton as result of FBI findings. Apparently
the only action taken on the FBI reports,
which were based on damaging statements
by Miss Elizabeth Bentley, confessed for
mer Red spy, was to shift Mr.. Remington
to another agency and promote him. He
even was interviewed for a job with the
Atomic Energy Commission last year, but
Withdrew his application, he said, because
he felt 1t might be uncomfortable" for
him. While protesting his loyalty to the
Senate committee, he remarked that it
was unfair to the Government and to
himself for him to remain on duty while
there was any doubt as to his loyalty
Yet Mr.. Remington did remain on duty,
month after month, and in one position
after another. 1t was not until last June
that any definite move was made against
him by an administrative official. At that
time the new Secretary of Commerce, upon
learning of the FBI report on Mr.. Reming
ton, ordered him placed on indefinite
leave" with pay. And it was not until the
new Regional Loyalty Board took over the
case-after the publicity arising from the
congressional spy hearings-that Mr.. Rem
ington finally was provided with charges
under the loyalty program. The charges
were filed last week.
If there is basis now for bringing formal
charges against this young economist
there was basis for action before he was
placed in charge of export licenses tt

Russia ia.t March, and before he was ap-
pointed presidential adviser on economics
last year For the same information re-
garding Mr. Remington's associations with
Miss Bentley was available then as now
The placing of formal charges against
this civil servant gives added point to the
determination of the Ferguson committee
to find out why the FBI reports on Mr.
Remington were so long ignored or dis
counted by departmental executives. There
was loyalty program in effect all during
the period that Mr.. Remington was pop
ping from one important job to another
Congress has a right to know why this
program failed to work in the case of
Mr.. Remington.

Nuts and Bolts

That familiar slogan of Anglo-American
rapprochement, Hands Across the Sea-"
is about to be applied to mechanical Speci
f1cations, especially regarding bolts and
nuts. To the average citizen, this may not
seem newsworthy. But to the manufac-
turer and trader 1t is of high Importance,
while to the diplomat and military STRAIT
egist it has likewise real significance.
Industrial Standardization between
America and Britain has been discussed
and sought for half century. 1t may
come as a surprise to the layman that
notable differences in mechanical meas
urements exist between the two countries,
since both use the foot-inch scale rather
than the metric system employed on the
European continent and elsewhere. Never
theless, such differences do exist, especial
ly in machine parts such as bolts and nuts,
and that prevents their interchangeability
Half century ago, this was a minor
matter. Britain was still the worlds work.
shop. American industry, while already
getting into its stride, was concerned
chiefly with the home market, its machine
exports being relatively negligible. Such
then existed arose naturally from Ameri-
can needs, And anyhow, the problem was
then relatively simple one.
Today, the situation is radically differ
ent Take bolts and nuts as the outstand-
ing example With the development of
countless new machines there has been a
corresponding multiplication of types and
specifications. Furthermore in addition to
variation in sizes sometimes measured in
thousandths of an inch and variable de-
grees of turns, the new industrial require
ments have necessitated development OF
new types of alloys to supply strength in
bolts and nuts out of all proportion to
sizes. Lack of interchangeability has thus
become a genuine problem.
The problem has ramifcations into di-
plomacy and strategy as we'll as in the

For q Sofer White House

The public may not approve the con-
struction Of balconies or other additions to
the White House, but it cannot logically
object to any improvements necessary to
insure the safety of the building and of
Its occupants. There is not likely to be
any popular outcry, therefore, against
plans OF the Public Buildings Administra-
ton to reconstruct the sagging and shaky
second floor of the old mansion, provided,
of course, the traditional appearance of
the interior is preserved
The creaking and weak condition of the
second floor has been matter of concern
to Federal officials for long time. The
building never has been the same since
the first bathrooms were installed in the
early nineties. The workmen at that time

The Sagging which resulted in later years
led to the placing of steel supports in the
walls last January. The past Congress
appropriated $4,000 to enable the PBA to
survey the second-foor situation and pre-
pare plans and estimates for reinforcing it.
According to White House Architect Wins
low, it may take from $750,0O0 to $l,250, 900
to- do the job. The White House family
meanwhile, would have to live elsewhere

The new supports and floor would be of
steel, in the interest not only of Struc-
tural rigidity but of fire prevention Fire
safety authorities live in constant dread
of destruction of the historic building by
fire. The 1929 Christmas eve fire in the
executive Offices was warning of what
might happen if fire should break out in
the well-seasoned timbers of the main
building. Every reasonable precaution
should be taken to protect the presidential
occupants and the Nation against a catas-
trophe due either to structural failure
OR fire.

Orderly Justice Diflicult.
From what has been said it may be fairly
inferred that every one had an uphill struggle
to try to maintain some semblance of justice
in the disposition of these cases. The plain
truth Is that neither the emotional atmosphere,
nor the abandonment of long established rules
Of evidence and guarantees for the accused, nor
the prejudices Of many investigators, nor the
unreliability Of many witnesses, nor the de-
pressing physical surroundings nor the con-
stant pressure for faster trials could possibly
produce the orderly and dignifed administra-
tion Of justice which our American tradition
demands and which many of us hoped would
serve as an example Of democracy in action

more heartless and ruthless group OF gangsters
would be difficult to congregate anywhere on
earth. To defend these men was the most
distasteful task have ever performed Never
theless, many of my fellow lawyers at Dachau
agreed with me that in the long view we were
better serving America and the cause justice
by throwing what small personal ability we
might have on the side of the defense in order
to counterbalance to some extent the inequities
which we observed.
In any case am certain that nearly all the
defendants who went through the Dachau mill
were in fact guilty of the crimes charged,

sat among the other Indian prisoners
on the bank of the Mahoning and
chartered in Indian tongue with the
others. Pointing to east, west, north

Back by the Kattowa valley,
where the trail dipped few miles
south of today's highway, it was the
road taken by John Baptiste Jerome's
Indian wife and the few remaining
Mohegans when, in 1872, French
soldiers removed them to the West,
Jerome was a French trader, who
for convenience, married the squaw,
After she was gone he married a
German woman.
Out of the band of 200 Mohegans
who had built their village there in
1862, only 30 huts and the families
of the Nezohawas, Aweepsahs, Opet-
etes, Catatowas, Buckandohoes, Shias
and of Ground Squirrel, Buckwheat,
Philip Canonicut, Billy Montour and
Thomas Jelloway remained.
Nearby was a Delaware village

Pipe had a daughter "of great
beauty" with whom a young chief
''of noble mien" fell deeply in love,
When the girl rejected him, the

poisoned himself with May apple.
Captain Pipe, whose name was
